Wang Ping decided to compromise, but this compromise was only an appropriate compromise, and it absolutely could not affect his purpose of using the three-dimensional fortification group to fight the devils, consume the devils, and train the troops.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he proposed: "Except for the first battalion, the second, third, and fourth battalions all leave the company with the strongest combat effectiveness, and then leave an infantry artillery platoon, a heavy machine gun platoon, plus a garrison battalion, a recruit company, to defend the garrison and prevent the little devils from copying our back road!" ”

"The other troops, led by the battalion commanders themselves, came to Xiangfen to participate in the battle."

"Together with our recruit battalion and other directly subordinate troops of the regimental headquarters, the total strength exceeds two thousand, and we should be able to fight with the little devils for a while!"

Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong also compromised, hesitated and replied: "Yes......"

Nearly 9,000 days of puppet troops, mighty left Linfen City and killed Xiangfen County.

At the beginning of the road of one or twenty kilometers, because it was in the occupied area, the little devil walked very smoothly. In less than four hours, they had walked a full twenty kilometers!

"General, the front is the base of the Eighth Route Army, they have built a lot of defensive positions in front, with the character of the Eighth Route Army, they will definitely not let us enter their base area easily!" The chief of staff, who was walking beside Major General Kawaguchi, reminded.

"Boom ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of explosions reached the ears of Major General Kawaguchi from the front of the ranks.

After nearly half a month's march from the front line to Linfen County, Major General Kawaguchi heard this voice countless times, and as soon as his face changed, he shouted: "Bageya Road is a mine...... The cunning Eighth Route Army will use such despicable means against the Imperial Army! ”

After scolding, a second lieutenant rushed over and reported: "General, the forward troops stepped on the mines buried on the road by the Eighth Route Army and lost four imperial troops!" ”

To deal with the mines, Major General Kawaguchi had already had his own ideas, and with a frown, he ordered: "Transfer a company from the Imperial Allied Army to the forward troops, let the Imperial Allied Army walk at the forefront of the team, and if you don't listen to orders, military law will be engaged!" ”

"Isn't the Eighth Route Army known for its benevolence and righteousness? I don't believe that they can ruthlessly attack the Imperial Allied Army, after all, they are all Chinese! ”

The chief of staff deepened his understanding of Major General Kawaguchi again, and he was ruthless and did whatever it took to achieve his goal.

Despite the fact that this may cause discontent and revolt among the puppet army, the chief of staff decided to carry out the order.

What he didn't know was that Major General Kawaguchi had taken precautions against his worries.

Whether it is the placement of the Imperial Army in the Imperial Army, or the Imperial Army, which only brings three regiments in this operation, and uses two Imperial Army to keep an eye on one Imperial Army...... All in order to guard against the dissatisfaction and rebellion of the Imperial Army.

Major General Kawaguchi's idea was very simple and straightforward.

If these Imperial Cooperative Army can't really serve the Imperial Army, then use iron-blooded means to force them to serve the Imperial Army, and the food and equipment given to them by the Imperial Army must not be given in vain!

Two kilometers away, Wang Ping, Huang Yuanqiang, and Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong, all three of them held binoculars and stared at the devil's every move on the road.

Because of the first time he faced Major General Kawaguchi, Wang Ping had to figure out his opponent's character and combat style as soon as possible, and then he could prescribe the right medicine for the next battle and kill more devils at the lowest cost.

"Li Wen is right, the brigade commander who has just taken office as a little devil is a ruthless person, and he will not give up in order to achieve his goal!" Seeing that the devils drove more than 100 puppet soldiers to the front of the highway with bayonets and machine guns, and when they encountered disobedient puppet soldiers, they smashed them with the butts of their guns and stabbed them with bayonets, Wang Ping's face quickly became heavy.

The political commissar next to him said with a very regretful expression: "Why are these puppet soldiers suffering? The devils don't treat them as human beings, and they still work so hard for the little devils. If it were me, I'd just turn the hell with a gun! ”

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political commissar, it's not as easy as you think!" ”

"Don't you see that only one-third of the nine thousand people sent by the devil this time are puppet troops, not more than half of them under normal circumstances! The two little devils stared at a puppet army, and there were many devils in the puppet army as officers, staring at them all the time. Even if you want to do the opposite, you don't have a chance! ”

Then he ordered to the chief of staff next to him: "Inform the engineer platoon that all mines are taken out, except for the electrically detonated mines that can be directly controlled!" ”

"Little devils don't treat the puppet army as a human being, we can't!"

"After all, they are all Chinese, and most of the puppet army are not really working for the devil, they are forced to sell their lives. On the battlefield, if you can, don't kill them! ”

"Commissar, you also have something to do, the commander of the devil brigade is ruthless and can do everything. I'm worried that when they enter the base area, they will attack the people in the base area. Bring the guards with you, set off now, evacuate all the people within five kilometers on both sides of the road to other villages, and come back when the battle is over! ”

"Be sure to hurry up, I'll block the little devil here for a day and buy you time!"

After the puppet army opened the way in front, the forward troops walked forward for another five or six hundred meters without stepping on a single mine.

The chief of staff seized the opportunity to compliment: "General Yingming, now that there is no harassment from mines, we will definitely be able to enter a new base area before dark!" ”

"Boom ......"

Before they could finish speaking, a series of explosions slapping their faces came from very close to them.

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

Major General Kawaguchi first glared at the chief of staff like a crow's mouth, and then scolded: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, this is an electrically detonated mine, the Eighth Route Army actually has the ability to use electrical circuits to manipulate mines, it seems that I underestimated them!" ”

"General, the mines that just exploded were all added with explosives and a large amount of gravel by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops suffered heavy losses, a total of 19 imperial troops were killed and wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, of which 12 were killed!"

"Yaga! The cunning Eighth Route Army, when you enter your so-called base area, I will definitely let you pay for your blood debts! Major General Kawaguchi was furious this time and scolded.

He lost more than 20 imperial troops without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and he relied on his exploits to fight step by step to the position of wing commander on the front line, and he had never encountered it.

However, the brigade commander was the brigade commander after all, and Kawaguchi quickly regained his composure.

With a frown, he ordered: "The wounded and corpses will be handed over to the baggage troops, and the others will continue to advance!" ”

"General think twice, what if there is still such an electrically detonated mine ahead?" The chief of staff hastened to raise his concerns!

Major General Kawaguchi replied confidently: "Don't worry, even if Tsuchihachi has this technology, they don't have so many materials for us to arrange!" ”

"Five hundred meters on both sides of the highway are within our reconnaissance range, which means that the Eighth Route Army is hiding 500 meters away to detonate mines, do you think they have so many wires in their hands for us to arrange! These are all petty fights that do not threaten us, and the troops continue to advance! ”

Ten minutes later, Major General Kawaguchi encountered another electric detonation of a chain of mines, and then he was not attacked again, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, he killed the first line of defense prepared for him by Wang Ping!
