In the new regiment, Wang Ping has absolute authority.

Wang Ping had already made up his mind, and the political commissar and chief of staff could raise objections for Wang Ping to analyze, but they would absolutely not stop Wang Ping's determination.

Moreover, the military region also had orders for Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong: The new regiment has absolute decision-making power in military command.

Therefore, seeing that Wang Ping had made up his mind, Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong were about to say what they were about to say, they swallowed it back directly, and then stared at Wang Ping and waited for the order.

"The first battalion and the third battalion each have two main companies, plus an infantry artillery platoon, a heavy machine gun platoon, and other directly subordinate troops, led by the battalion commander, to secretly assemble outside Xiangfen City in two days!"

"The second battalion and the fourth battalion are respectively transferred to a main company, plus a mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun platoon, as well as the troops directly under the battalion headquarters, and the battalion commander personally leads the team, and assembles outside Xiangfen City at the same time to stand by!"

"The heavy machine gun company, mortar company, flying thunder artillery company, guard company, engineer platoon, reconnaissance platoon, and directly subordinate team directly under the regimental headquarters participated in the battle!"

"The regimental headquarters set up a former enemy headquarters, and the chief of staff stayed behind at the regimental headquarters and was responsible for directing all the remaining troops to ensure the security of the base area. The political commissar and I went to the front line to direct the operation, and the political commissar also had a task, after the siege began, immediately mobilize the local guerrillas, the underground party, and organize a transport team to assist in the transportation of weapons, ammunition and materials that we may have captured in Xiangfen! ”

"Please rest assured, the regiment commander will ensure that the task is completed!" This was the first battle in the history of the new regiment. Before making a decision, two people can have questions. But after making a decision, the faces of the two people directly changed, both expectant and fanatical, staring at Wang Ping and reassuring.

At the headquarters of the Japanese garrison brigade in Xiangfen County, the captain Hepburn Shaozuo was very fortunate and very happy.

Just now, I received a commendation telegram from Linfencheng, which was forwarded by Linfencheng to Major General Kawaguchi, the incoming brigade commander.

Because he retreated in time, and because this year's collection of autumn grain was a few days faster than that of other counties, not only did the main force of the garrison brigade be preserved. The more than 9 million catties of grain that the troops had managed to collect with great difficulty were also saved.

For the entire brigade, these more than 9 million catties of grain can definitely be called life-saving food.

That's why the brigade commander sent this telegram of commendation to his subordinates, whom he had never met, one or two hundred kilometers away.

The brigade commander rewarded himself before he arrived at his post, and he had a good impression of himself and had a good impression. This is definitely very good for my future.

Major General Hepburn has even begun to fantasize about the time when the brigade commander will transfer himself from the garrison to the main force after the arrival of the brigade commander.

The adjutant rushed in in a hurry.

"Sir, the gates have been closed for three days. Many of the people in the city asked to go out of the city, and many others wanted to go into the city. After all, a lot of things are in the hands of the expatriates, and the people of China can only buy them from the city! ”

"Also, the expatriates in the city want us to open the gates as soon as possible, even if it's only for five hours a day. In the past few days, their business has been greatly affected. The humble position temporarily suppressed their dissatisfaction, but it certainly couldn't be suppressed for too long, after all, those expatriates were profit-seeking businessmen, and they were all businessmen with some background in the country! ”

Major General Hepburn's good mood disappeared all at once.

If it weren't for these expatriates and businessmen, for Hepburn Shaozo, for the safety of Xiangfen County, he planned to keep the city gate closed all the time, anyway, there was food and ammunition in the city. As for the lives of the Chinese, he did not pay attention to them at all.

However, he could not afford to offend the expatriates and businessmen.

Not to mention the backstage, these expatriates and businessmen also took on the responsibility of looting China's wealth and supporting the imperial war.

Without the wealth, materials, and minerals they looted from China, the empire's war of aggression would not have been able to last forever.

So, he had to give face to those expatriates and businessmen.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked rhetorically, "How is the situation outside the city?" ”

The adjutant immediately replied: "The latest intelligence shows that the situation has stabilized!" After occupying the villages and towns outside the city, the Eighth Route Army had stopped its military operations and began to organize guerrilla units and local troops in the villages and towns to resist the imperial army! ”

"Eight Ge Yalu, these hateful Zhina people, when the main force comes over, I will definitely kill Xiangfen and cut off their heads!" Hepburn Shaozo scolded.

Then he ordered: "Order the garrison troops, strengthen the vigilance, from now on, Xiangfen will only open one city gate every day, and only for five hours." The troops defending the city must strengthen the troops at the gate of the city to conduct inspections, and they must not let the Eighth Route Army mix into the county seat! ”

Wang Ping led the troops directly under the regiment to rush to the outside of Xiangfen City in just one night.

As soon as he arrived at the former enemy headquarters, he received good news from a reconnaissance squad of the first battalion.

"Chief! The east gate of Xiangfen County has been reopened, but it only comes for five hours a day, and it is the little devil who personally guards the city gate to supervise and inspect every ordinary person who enters and leaves the city! ”

"God help me!" Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he shouted very happily.

"Immediately notify Li Wenhe and Tang Guangxin of the reconnaissance platoon to come over, and there is a task to be handed over to them!"

Huang Yuanqiang, the political commissar next to him, reacted quickly, stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Commander, do you plan to let them enter the county seat first......

"Not bad!" Wang Ping did not hide it.

"With the strength in our hands, we definitely didn't ask if we took Xiangfen. The only thing I am worried about is that the devils will jump over the wall at the last moment and blow up all the weapons and ammunition they have in stock in the city, as well as the nine million catties of food we urgently need! ”

"Their task is to keep these food, weapons and ammunition at a critical moment!"

Two days later, at eight o'clock in the evening, Hepburn Shaozo had dinner and was just about to rest, when a faint burst of gunfire rang out outside the east gate.

Immediately after, the west gate, the south gate, and the north gate came from the sound of machine gun fire.

can become a Shaozuo, even if it is the captain of the garrison brigade, Hepburn was promoted step by step by virtue of his military exploits.

Therefore, Hepburn's combat experience and battlefield smell ability are not bad at all.

In an instant, he realized that something was wrong from the gunshots that rang out from the four directions of the county, and then sat up from the bed and rushed to the war room.

As soon as he walked to the door of the war room, he collided with the adjutant who was about to rush out.

"Sir, the county town is under attack, there are enemies in all directions, armed with light and heavy machine guns!"

Hepburn Shaozo reacted quickly, glanced at the slightly chaotic war room in front of him and ordered: "Immediately contact our outpost outside the city, let them hold on, and find out how many people are in the Eighth Route Army attacking them!" ”

"Order all garrisons in the city to distribute ammunition and prepare for battle!"

"Defend the city, strengthen your guard, and be ready to reinforce the outposts outside the city at any time!"

"Hey!" The chaotic situation in the war room was finally brought under control. Several officers grabbed the microphone and began to call the outpost outside the city where the gunfire was incessant! ”
