Major General Eimatsumoto's patience gave the new regiment a chance to transport all the food.

Wang Ping had less than four companies of troops in his hands to protect the grain, and because of the limited time, the grain was hidden on the edge of the mountain, and there was no need to go far into the mountain.

If the devil's reinforcements insist on recapturing the grain, even if they go deep into the mountains and lose some troops, there will be no problem at all in recapturing the grain hidden by the Eighth Route Army on the side of the mountain.

However, Major General Matsumoto was afraid.

Others are talking about the tiger's color change, but he is talking about fighting mountain battles with the Eighth Route Army.

The last time the military column was robbed, and a mixed brigade was completely annihilated, the shock brought to him was too great.

This time the military train was robbed the same as the last time, and until now, he has not figured out how many troops of the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle, and where did these troops come from?

If the Eighth Route Army had placed heavy troops in the forest, Matsumoto would be sure that if his troops rushed in, they would be severely damaged even if they were not completely annihilated.

The expansion of the brigade is imminent, and if one veteran dies, there will be one less, and Matsumoto can no longer afford to lose.

In the forest, Wang Ping was also very anxious, worried that the devil reinforcements would rush into the forest.

Fortunately, the devil reinforcements who rushed to the battlefield were only stationed on the spot and did not search everywhere.

At this moment, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang rushed over with an excited face.

"Commander, you've made a fortune...... Guess how much food we have come back from the army and a half! There are 12 wagons of white flour and rice alone, as well as a wagon of canned food, a wagon of medicine, and salt...... Other supplies! ”

"I just calculated, a stuffy tank carriage of the devil army train contains 250,000 catties of grain, all of which add up to 3 million catties of grain, of which one-third is rice, and the rest is all white flour!"

Wang Ping's eyes quickly shot out two rays of light, and his heart was happier than anyone else.

A full three million catties of grain, and it is still refined grain, if it is used well, it can ensure at least two or three main regiments' annual rations during the famine years.

After hesitating for a moment, he ordered: "Political commissar, first take 50,000 catties of rice and 100,000 catties of white flour out, send them back to the base area, and distribute them to the main battalions." The troops should not always eat coarse grains, but should mix them with refined grains in order to be nutritious. From now on, the troops must ensure that they have one meal of fine food every day, and they will come in turns in the morning, noon and evening! ”

"Other grains, except for the compensation to the villagers, all the other stocks are stored in the grain depot we built in the mountains, and no one can use them without my order!"

"It's the same with the captured cans, take out a part of it and let the soldiers fight for the tooth sacrifice, and the rest is all in stock!"

"Canned food is stored for a longer time than grain, and taking it out at a critical moment can save lives!"

The food was robbed, and the Eighth Route Army was killed, and the news reached the front army headquarters, and the commander Tada Jun could be said to be like thunder, scolding Matsumoto for being a waste.

When I first met Matsumoto, as a special operations expert in the Imperial Army, Tada admired him very much.

However, as the law and order in Linfen intensified, the troops suffered heavy losses, and the Pu Railway was threatened. Tada's affection for Matsumoto also began to disappear little by little, and he began to dislike it.

Because, the last time the Linfen garrison suffered heavy losses, Matsumoto actually crossed his own commander, directly found his domestic backstage, and spoke to him.

This is an absolute shame for Tada Jun, a provocation to his own status!

The chief of staff was very clear about the commander's opinion of Matsumoto, and hesitated to reply: "Your Excellency the commander, this Matsumoto's backstage in the country is too hard, and we can't afford to offend." Since it says to give him another chance, then let's bear with it. If Matsumoto loses again this time, then the headquarters will punish him again, and there will be nothing to say in the country! ”

"Besides, the lowly has an idea! The command did not dare to reprimand Matsumoto, and we could ask the commanders of several divisions at the front to send a telegram to the country to put pressure on Matsumoto. You must know that the army column that was robbed this time had more than a month's worth of military rations from several divisions and regiments on the front line! ”

"Now that Matsumoto has lost it, even if the front army re-raises food for them and restores the railway, it will take several days. In the past few days, the front-line troops must save the remaining military rations to avoid the troops running out of food. In this case, several division commanders will definitely have no place to vent their anger. ”

"Matsumoto has a backstage in the country, and those division commanders also have it, so it's better to let them put pressure on Matsumoto!"

Tada Jun's face looked a lot better, and he frowned and ordered: "Chief of Staff, you go and send a telegram to the commanders of several divisions to explain the situation, go now!" ”

At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, Matsumoto's face was very unsightly.

Just now, I received a telegram from China and scolded myself directly.

And threatened himself that if he could no longer guarantee the safety of the Tongpu Railway, he would not even have the last chance to retaliate against the new regiment.

With a calm face, he stared at the sand table for ten minutes before Matsumoto withdrew his gaze, then stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Haven't the sappers found out how the train derailed?" The chief of staff lowered his head and was about to shake his head to say no, when the communications staff officer rushed in.

After reading the telegram, the chief of staff's lowered head finally raised his head, and then replied: "I have already figured it out, Your Excellency the division commander, the Eighth Route Army deliberately misplaced the track of the railway, and if you don't observe it carefully, the train driver can't find it at all, and even if you do, because the distance is too short, you won't have time to brake, and then there will be a tragic accident in which the train derails and rolls over, and collides with the heroic train!" ”

Matsumoto's brows furrowed suddenly, and he stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically: "If a long enough braking distance is guaranteed between the military train and the armored train, even if the armored train derails and rolls over, the military train will have enough distance to brake and stop?" ”

The chief of staff's eyes lit up and complimented: "The general is wise!" In this way, even if the Eighth Route Army robbed the military column in the same way, the military column would not derail and roll over. With the guard troops and firepower on the military column, the Eighth Route Army is equipped with a large number of artillery, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to take the military column in a short time! ”

"Also, the Eighth Route Army of the robbery column has also figured out that it is from the three main battalions, and each main battalion has a company, evading the detection of our intelligence officers and gathering on the battlefield to launch an attack on our military column transporting grain!"

"The lowly post has asked the intelligence department to send more personnel to keep an eye on the barracks of the new first regiment and develop our intelligence personnel within the new regiment as soon as possible, so that we can grasp 100 percent of the specific movements of each unit of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Yo Xi!" Matsumoto's face finally looked a lot better.

Taking a deep breath, he continued to order: "Also, strengthen the strength and firepower of the railway garrison in the control area of the new regiment, and then transfer troops and armored trains to patrol this section of the railway without interruption to prevent the destruction of the new regiment!" ”

"This time, the Tongpu Railway said that there can be no more problems!"

The chief of staff regained his confidence and replied with an arrogant face: "Please rest assured, general, with such a tight defense, even a fly in the Eighth Route Army will not be able to approach our railway line!" ”
