"Wait a minute!" As soon as the chief of staff reached the door, Major General Matsumoto called him back.

As soon as he frowned, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

You must know that if the reinforcements of the reinforcement column arrive on the battlefield one minute late, the military column will be more dangerous.

"No one knows if this is a conspiracy of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army? Don't forget, the new regiment is also very good at shaking a shot and hitting the west~" Major General Matsumoto explained in a surprising voice.

The chief of staff's brow furrowed suddenly.

The longer he dealt with the new regiment, the more he could not figure out the combat routines of the new regiment.

In his opinion, the general's judgment is not only possible to be so simple, it is very likely.

Then he stared at Matsumoto and asked, "General, then what are we going to do next?" ”

"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and no one knows whether the battle that is taking place is a false shot! If not, we don't have troops there, and if the reinforcements don't hurry over, we can only watch the Eighth Route Army rob the military columns and then move the air columns! ”

"If so, after our reinforcements are sent, there will not be enough troops here. If the real direction of the Eighth Route Army's attack is here, then we are fooled! Eight grid tooth road! ”

"And that's not the most important thing!" The more I thought about it, the more unsightly Matsumoto's face became, and it slowly became heavy.

"It's only an afternoon before it gets dark, and if we can't build the railway before it gets dark and let the military train rush to the Linfen railway station, millions of catties of grain will be exposed to the wilderness. Even if the new regiment is a false shot over there, after dark, they can completely turn a feint into a strong attack, directly take down the military column there, and move the air column! ”

"Don't forget, after dark, the plane overhead us will be back. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army will also be greatly reduced, and it will be more difficult to figure out the location and strength of the main force of the new regiment. ”

"We can make the military train go straight back!" The chief of staff proposed.

"It's late!" Matsumoto shook his head and replied helplessly.

"The telegram said that when the armored train in front derailed, the railway behind the military train suddenly exploded, and at least a section of the railway line 30 meters long was completely damaged, and it could never be repaired in a few days. Therefore, the current military column can only move forward! ”

"The new group has a big problem for us!" The chief of staff's face immediately became solemn, and then shouted in a hurry.

Major General Matsumoto replied with a calm face: "There is only one solution!" ”

"Protect the military train and rush to the Linfen railway station before dark. As soon as you get to the station, these dangers are gone! ”

Then he stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically: "How long will it take for the engineer squadron to repair the railway that was manipulated by the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"It's going to take at least three hours to get over now!" The chief of staff replied.

Matsumoto frowned and analyzed: "It will take an hour and a half to get there by military vehicle from here, three hours to repair the railway, and there are still more than two hours left before dark, which is enough for the military train to pass through the control area of the new regiment and rush to the Linfen railway station." ”

"Chief of Staff, order the troops, immediately reinforce the military column, quickly repair the railway, and then escort the military column all the way back to Linfen!"

"The military trains took the railway, and we escorted the troops by car on the road. If a column is attacked, the escort can immediately join the battle! ”

"The railway garrison, the Imperial Army, and the patrol team that remain in the area controlled by the new regiment will strengthen the vigilance, and once the Eighth Route Army approaches the railway line, immediately counterattack and report!"

Reinforcements were unimpeded all the way, and it took only an hour and twenty minutes to reach the battlefield.

By this time, the escort unit of a reinforced squadron on the military column had already suffered more than half of the casualties.

But what made the reinforcements arrive is strange that, as soon as they arrived, the new regiment of the attacking army retreated, and disappeared without a trace.

When the news reached Linfen, Major General Matsumoto was even more sure of his original judgment!

The new regiment derailed the military train there and blew up the railway, which was a false shot and a sound of fire!

"General, do you want reinforcements to come back immediately, the direction of the new regiment's attack must be here! The chief of staff suggested with a frown.

Matsumoto shook his head and replied, "I can't come back!" Even if it is not the main force of the new regiment that attacks the military column there, it can make more than half of the military escort casualties, which shows that their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. The reinforcements are now gone, and they will probably kill us one of them, take out our squadron of engineers, and drag the columns there until the evening. If that's the case, we're in trouble! ”

The chief of staff couldn't help but complain: "There are still too few troops!" ”

"If we have enough troops, we will definitely be able to deal with this situation with ease. Where is it like now, I can't take care of the end, knowing that the main force of the new regiment is hiding here, but there is no way to transfer the troops back! ”

Matsumoto nodded in agreement, and then replied with a serious face: "So, what we need to do now is to endure!" ”

"Under the condition of ensuring that the situation in Linfen does not deteriorate, try not to have a hard confrontation with the new group. When the main force is expanded and its strength is restored, reinforcements will arrive, and it will be shameful to concentrate troops to enter their base area! ”

Then he stared at the chief of staff and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much!" ”

"Although the combat effectiveness of our troops left in this area is not very good, there is still no problem with vigilance."

"As long as the new regiment appears, we will know, and then tell the escort troops next to the military column to prepare for battle and ensure that the military column safely passes through the control area of the new regiment and arrives at the Linfen railway station."

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong was the first to receive the news that the Devil's Army was attacked dozens of kilometers away.

As soon as my eyes lit up, I thought of the regimental headquarters guard company and engineer platoon that had disappeared two days earlier.

"Sound from east to west!" This is an idea that popped into Zhong Chenggong's mind instantly.

"Commander, should you send troops over at the meeting?" The worry on the political commissar's face was not much soothed by this news, and he stared at Wang Ping and asked.

"It's definitely going to pass!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

"This is a conspiracy, the devil knows that it is a ploy, and he will send someone over!"

"Yangmou! Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong's brows furrowed at the same time, and then fell into deep thought! ”

It didn't take long for a piece of information sent by the reconnaissance unit to dispel the concerns on the faces of the two.

"Chief, the devil's troops guarding the side of the railroad are gone. Except for the puppet army and the patrol troops, all the other troops passed east along the railway line, and they all passed by car, in a mighty way, sixty or seventy cars! ”

"I see!" Huang Yuanqiang was the first to react!

"If the devils don't go for reinforcements, their military columns will stay there until the evening. Barren mountains and mountains, at night, there is the main battlefield of our new regiment. Even if we fight hard with the devils, we may take the military column from the devils. Therefore, the devil must reinforce the military column and let the military train arrive at Linfen Station before it gets dark! ”
