Chapter 838: Major General Kawaguchi's Scheming (Third Update!) )

The deputy chief of staff is going to the new regiment, and Commander Chen, who is the direct boss of the new regiment, will definitely follow.

Just as he was about to leave, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters suddenly rushed over and directly stopped Commander Chen and reported: "Commander, this is an urgent piece of information from Linfen County, the devil plans to start tomorrow to attack the new regiment and recapture Xiangfen County!" ”

"The new group is too dangerous there now, you can't go there!"

It doesn't matter to you, but the safety of the deputy chief of staff must not go wrong. This was the first thought that suddenly sold in Commander Chen's mind.

Then he frowned and asked, "How many troops does the devil plan to send!" ”

"The troops facing off from the front line and the new regiment are not moving, a main wing withdrawn from the front line, plus two new brigades, a mountain artillery brigade, a cavalry brigade, a field artillery squadron, and three regiments of puppet troops, with a total strength of nearly nine thousand people!"

"Xiangfen County will definitely not be able to hold it!" Commander Chen's face suddenly became heavy.

Then he stared at the deputy chief of staff and suggested: "Chief of staff, you have also heard, the 9,000-day puppet army will attack the new regiment, and there will definitely be a fierce battle to be fought on the side of the new regiment next." My thoughts are the same as Deputy Chief of Staff Yang, it's too dangerous there, you can't go over and take risks! ”

"As for the medicines that are in short supply in other troops, I will directly send the guard battalion over."

"Wang Ping is also an old comrade, and he will definitely hand over the medicine and gold to the guard battalion to bring back!"

The deputy chief of staff's brow furrowed involuntarily.

The 9,000-day puppet army went to deal with the troops of Wang Ping's regiment, and in his opinion, it was definitely a knife to kill chickens, and the new regiment had no chance of winning.

But within a few seconds he made a decision: "Go, must go!" ”

"It's because there's a bad fight there, that we're going to go over, and maybe we can help. Also, you have to go over too, I remember that the Taiyue Military Region just formed a brigade directly under it, bring this brigade with you, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

Commander Chen immediately realized that the deputy chief of staff had something to say, and then asked.

"Chief of Staff, are you worried?"

The deputy chief of staff replied without thinking about it: "A small Xiangfen county town is not worth the little devil to dispatch nine thousand elites at one time!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the little devil's capture of Xiangfen County is only the first step in their dispatch of troops. As for the next action, it is difficult to judge because there is no intelligence to support it. However, tomorrow's attack of the little devils is definitely not as simple as we imagined! ”

At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade in Linfen City, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, but the headquarters was still very lively and had no intention of quieting down.

In the heavily defended conference room, there were more than a dozen officers, large and small, excited, expectant, and worried...... They sat around the conference table with different expressions, waiting for the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, to give an order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have decided that at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I will send troops to the new regiment base of the Eighth Route Army to recapture Xiangfen County!"

"The battle plan, the chief of staff has read it to you just now, and I hope you will work hard with me to fight the first battle after I become the brigade commander!"

"I hope you are prepared, but don't leak the news in advance!"

"After taking Xiangfen County, we will not retreat, but continue to attack, divide our troops into three routes, and directly kill the remaining three battalions of the new regiment. When the time comes, two of our remaining units will directly attack the defense line of the Eighth Route Army from the occupied area, respond to us, flank the front and rear, and kill the new regiment in one fell swoop! ”

"As you should see, I didn't inform the three regiment commanders of the Imperial Allied Army at this meeting, according to the regulations, they are fully qualified, but their mouths are too loose, and any news reaches their ears, and it will leak out in less than two days. Therefore, before taking Xiangfen County, no one can reveal the true purpose of our attack, and I will use Xiangfen County to consume the strength of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army as much as possible. After consuming them almost, directly sweep their base areas in three ways, and kill them when their strength is at their weakest! ”

The chief of staff then stood up and added: "The brigade commander's order must be strictly implemented, otherwise military law will be involved!" ”

After saying that he wanted to, he took a special look at a few old subordinates, and then continued: "Tonight, the logistics department will replenish the combat supplies for everyone for ten days. If the battle can't be ended after ten days, the logistics department will send supplies to everyone, so please be ready to receive it! ”

At the headquarters of the new regiment in Sanquan Town, Wang Ping also received the news that the Japanese puppet army was about to attack on a large scale.

The 9,000-day puppet army came to attack a reinforced regiment of its own, with artillery, cavalry, and aircraft...... When he first heard the news, Wang Ping was indeed frightened.

However, thinking of the three-dimensional fortification group he had prepared for the devils, Wang Ping regained some self-confidence.

However, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang and chief of staff Zhong Chenggong did not know the power of three-dimensional defense.

From the moment they heard the news, the two of them frowned, staring at the combat sand table in the middle of the war room over and over again, thinking about the solution.

"Regiment commander, the strength of the Japanese puppet army is too strong, if you let the troops fight with them, it is not training at all, it is sending them to death. Therefore, I suggest abandoning the original combat plan of training troops, changing defense to movement warfare and guerrilla warfare, leaving only small troops to fight devils, and all the main forces retreating, and ceding Xiangfen County! The commissar frowned and said what he thought.

He has always cooperated with him in military command, and it is the first time that he has made such a firm suggestion to himself.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong followed suit and added: "I also agree with the political commissar!" ”

"The strength of the Japanese puppet army is too strong, and this battle doesn't need to be fought at all to know the end!"

"Instead of wasting troops on the frontal battlefield in vain, it is better to fight guerrilla warfare with devils, fight movement warfare, and in turn trench them!"

The expression on Wang Ping's face did not move, and he looked at the telegram in his hand for a while, and looked at the sand table for a while.

It took a full five minutes before he spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he said in a surprising voice: "The original battle plan remains the same!" ”

"The head of the regiment thinks twice......" Before Wang Ping could continue, the political commissar hurriedly reminded.

"You have forgotten how our fifth anti-encirclement campaign in the Soviet zone failed back then. The enemy is too strong, passive defense is a war of attrition for the enemy and me, and in the end, it must be the devil who finishes our trenches first! ”

"After all, our strength is less than half that of the Japanese puppet army...... And when it really gets to that point, we don't even have a chance to turn the tables around! ”

"I am also resolutely opposed to holding my position and fighting hard with the devil's attacking troops!"

At this time, Wang Ping could choose to use the rights of the head of the regiment to dictate the situation, but he didn't!

Although he was full of confidence in the three-dimensional fortification group he had prepared, the two old partners did not know. If you make a rash decision, it will definitely be very detrimental to the next cooperation.

At the moment of the great enemy, when the enemy has not been eliminated, there must be no chaos within oneself!
