The chief of staff of the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City was very happy that he had just received a report that the first batch of weapons, ammunition, and materials from the headquarters to support Linfen was about to be shipped.

All the supplies were transported by rail, and a military train came over.

As soon as he saw Major General Matsumoto standing in front of the sand table, the chief of staff reported with pleasure.

"Brigade commander, the first batch of materials given to us by the headquarters is mainly equipment and ammunition, and the troops have lost a large number of soldiers and equipment.

"In this case, as soon as the headquarters reinforces our field troops arrive, we can attack the base area that the new regiment is now occupying and destroy them!"

Major General Matsumoto also smiled, a rare smile on his serious face.

"Yo Xi, the headquarters is very thoughtful!"

"Chief of Staff, immediately contact the railway garrison, strengthen the defense, and be sure to ensure the safety of this batch of equipment and ammunition!"

"If there is any disturbance along the railway, report it to the brigade headquarters immediately!"

"Also, order the intelligence department to closely monitor all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army exposed in Linfen, and report any changes directly to the brigade headquarters!"

The chief of staff reacted quickly, frowned and asked, "General, are you worried that the new regiment will rob our military column for transporting weapons and equipment!" ”

"Not bad!" Major General Matsumoto affirmed.

Then he analyzed with a serious face: "In this operation, the new regiment also suffered heavy losses, and it consumed a lot of materials and ammunition. What's more, because we promptly ordered the troops participating in the battle to destroy weapons and ammunition at critical moments, the new regiment did not capture much from the Imperial Army. Therefore, like us, they urgently need to replenish weapons and ammunition, as well as a large amount of equipment that has been lost on the battlefield. ”

"The military column full of weapons and ammunition is definitely a very tempting piece of fat for them, and we have to guard against it!"

The chief of staff replied with a sudden realization: "What the general thinks about is that I will give an order to the intelligence department immediately!" ”

"According to the latest information sent by the intelligence department, we have intelligence officers around the four main battalions of the new regiment to monitor them 24 hours a day! In this battle that has just ended, they have suffered heavy losses as the general just said, and they are recruiting new recruits and replenishing troops in their so-called base areas! ”

"Because they kept their food, the enthusiasm of the people of China to join the Eighth Route Army was very high."

"However, if you want these recruits to form combat effectiveness, in the eyes of the humble position, it is impossible to do it in half a month."

"Therefore, I believe that the new regiment should not have any military action for the time being. However, the order you just gave will definitely be passed down word for word! ”

"Yo Xi, even if it's very unlikely, we can't let our guard down!" Major-General Matsumoto was satisfied with the chief of staff's answer and continued.

"However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, as long as there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, we must be prepared!"

On a mountain beam nearly a kilometer away from the railway line, Wang Ping, commander, chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, and several people were all lying here, holding binoculars, staring at the railway line motionlessly.

The chief of staff, who arrived here in advance, said while observing.

"Commander, regiment commander, political commissar, our idea is to borrow the little devil army train on the railway in front!"

"The terrain here is rugged, which is perfect for us to get close to the railway line in discreet way. Although there are three strongholds of the Little Devil Railway Garrison scattered on this railway line. But we have infantry artillery, and we should be able to kill them very clearly! ”

"Then act according to the original battle plan! Three fire companies were assigned to attack these three strongholds, attacking the troops at one end and one at the end, and after completing the task, they immediately set up blocking positions based on the strongholds to block the reinforcements that might appear in front of and behind the railway line. ”

"All the attacking forces took the explosion on the railway as a signal to attack on time."

After speaking, Wang Ping shifted his attention to Huang Yuanqiang, the political commissar who had just taken office.

"Commissar, I'll get the cart and manpower I asked you to prepare!"

"Ready!" Huang Yuanqiang replied in the affirmative.

"Originally, it was 200 carts, but after I heard that you were planning to rob the little devil army, I took it upon myself and prepared another 100 carts!"

"Commander, you don't know, as soon as the people in the base area heard that we were raising a cart to fight devils, and we also gave food as a reward, they all rushed to follow us!"

Wang Ping explained: "That's because we helped the people keep the grain they had worked so hard to harvest for a year and regained the hearts and minds of the people. Also, if we fail to fight the devils, the food they have lost and recovered will definitely be snatched away by the devils again. ”

"Without food, it is a problem for them to even survive, which is why they support us so much!"

"That's right, the common people have a scale in their hearts!" Huang Yuanqiang affirmed.

"I've also heard that the four battalions are recruiting new recruits at their own stations at a good rate, each battalion has recruited a recruit company, and there are people who are constantly asking to join our Eighth Route Army. With the support of the people, I believe that we will definitely win the battle in front of us! ”

Suddenly, the figure of the platoon commander of the communications platoon appeared in Wang Ping's field of vision, and he rushed over excitedly and anxiously.

"The chief, and the regiment commander, the direct team is in an emergency, and it will take three hours, and the devil army will pass by us, and then you can enter the Linfen Railway Station in another hour and a half!"

Wang Ping did not hesitate, and directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, order all troops to be in place and ready for battle!" ”

"Also, the headquarters is built here, and you can see the entire battlefield from a high vantage point!"

"Political commissar, the baggage company and other directly subordinate troops of the regiment headquarters are all under your command, as soon as the battle in front of you starts, you will organize everyone to protect the carts and the people to move closer to the railway. After the battle, we will start to rush to transport supplies, and find a way to move everything that can be moved! ”

"The two infantry companies of the attacking army, as soon as the battle is over, quickly reinforce the two fire companies that blocked the devil's reinforcements."

"When will the commissar empty the military columns, and when will the troops retreat!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, Major General Matsumoto, who had had dinner, did not rest, but stayed in the war room.

The military column transporting supplies was about to pass through the occupied area of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and although there was a stronghold of the railway garrison there, Matsumoto was still very uneasy.

In his opinion, as long as the military train does not enter the Linfen railway station, the weapons and ammunition on the military train are not his own.

The chief of staff, on the contrary, was much calmer.

"General, you don't have to worry too much. There is still an hour before the military column will pass through the section of the railway in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and if the Eighth Route Army wants to rob the military column, it must first take the stronghold turret on our railway line. So far, however, there has been no sign of an attack on these strongholds! ”

"Also, the intelligence department also reported that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army has not transferred a single soldier in the past few days in the four garrisons of Linfen!"

"Without troops, our military columns will be very safe even if they pass through their base area!"
