Chapter 859: Former Enemy Commander-in-Chief (Third Update!) )

"Linfen Railway Station, you want to hit Linfen Railway Station......" The chief of staff suddenly reacted, stared at Wang Ping with the eyes of a monster and asked.

"The chief of staff is wise, it's the Linfen Railway Station......" Wang Ping admitted very cheerfully.

"According to intelligence, after the interruption of the Tongpu Railway, in order to provide a steady stream of food and material supplies to the Japanese puppet army on the front line, the Japanese North China Front could only transfer the materials to the Linfen Railway Station by carts and automobiles, and then load them at the Linfen Railway Station, and walk the remaining more than 100 kilometers by train!"

"When I returned to the base area from the war zone more than half a month ago, I blew up a lot of gaps in that section of the railway, and I heard that it has not been repaired yet. Half a month, enough time for the little devils to hoard several military trains of supplies and food at the Linfen Railway Station. These are all things that our Eighth Route Army urgently needs, don't do it in vain! ”

The chief of staff glanced at Wang Ping appreciatively and replied: "I really don't know how your head grows, the devil makes you calculate everything." When the little devil Major General Kawaguchi encounters an opponent like you, there is no place to cry......"

At the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army in Xiangfen County, the chief of staff suddenly rushed in, his face was both excited and excited.

"General, the Eighth Route Army has moved, and the Eighth Route Army guarding us outside Xiangfen City is gone: the soldiers are divided into three routes, and each Eighth Route Army has four or five hundred people, with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the speed is very fast, and they must be in a hurry to reinforce their own station!"

"The opportunity has come~" Major General Kawaguchi's eyes quickly shot out two fine lights, and he replied with a hot face.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically: "How is the situation of the three infantry brigades on the front...... From the beginning of the offensive to the present, has there been any progress......"

"There's no news yet!" The chief of staff shook his head and replied.

After thinking for a few seconds, he continued to report: "However, they all reported that the position of the Eighth Route Army confronting them was not empty, they had a lot of troops left, and they were well equipped, with heavy machine guns and infantry artillery, and it would definitely be very difficult to break through their defensive line within a few hours!" ”

After saying this, the chief of staff looked at Kawaguchi with a weak face, afraid that Kawaguchi would get angry.

You must know that the three brigades that are fighting are all old units of the brigade and regiment, and because there are too many new recruits, the combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Those captains, squadron leaders, are also their old subordinates. Once the brigade commander takes advantage of the problem and thinks that they are not in a good position to fight and replaces them all, then his chief of staff will have no foundation here.

Surprisingly, Major General Kawaguchi did not have any grievances. After a quick flash of a smile on his calm face, he replied very happily.

"It's right if you're in trouble!"

"The new regiment is for those troops, and it is difficult for the troops to attack, which proves that the Eighth Route Army has assembled a lot of troops in front of our three brigades. Now that more than 1,500 more Eighth Route Army troops have been killed, how many Eighth Route Army do you think there are left around us! ”

"No more than a thousand, no, maybe not even five hundred!" The chief of staff replied with a pair of big eyes.

Then he analyzed: "They must do their best to prevent our three brigades from entering their base area. Otherwise, the base area they have worked so hard to build will definitely be completely occupied by us! ”

"There is also a new regiment, which has finally recovered its strength and developed and grown. Once they lose their base, they will definitely fall apart again. ”

"What's more, after two consecutive defeats, in the face of the retaliation of the imperial army, the people around China will no longer trust them, and continue to support them at the risk of being retaliated by the imperial army!"

Major General Kawaguchi replied with satisfaction: "The analysis is good......

"A telegram was sent to the three captains asking them to strengthen the fortifications...... Didn't they have a sufficient number of artillery, I gave him air support. Aviation is needed to report directly to the brigade command, and I will coordinate it for them! ”

"Even if you can't break through the defense line of the Eighth Route Army immediately, you must attract all the remaining main forces of the Eighth Route Army to them!"

"Also, order the mobile troops formed in the three county towns to immediately dispatch to sweep away the remaining remnants of the Eighth Route Army in the jurisdiction. Tell them that they must be ruthless in dealing with the people of China, and all the Eighth Route Army, as well as the people of China who have a relationship with the Eighth Route Army, as long as they resist, they will all be killed. Even if they surrender, they can't be spared, and they are all arrested and worked as coolies for the imperial army......"

The chief of staff immediately asked, "General...... What about us? ”

"Tomorrow morning, under the cover of the air force, the troops will take the initiative to attack in three directions, directly kill the three battlering battlefields, and launch an attack from behind the Eighth Route Army......"

Early the next morning, Wang Ping was awakened by the staff officer on duty.

As soon as he rushed to the headquarters, Zhong Chenggong, the political commissar, the commander, the chief of staff, and several people followed one after another.

"Wang Ping, is it the little devil in Xiangfen County who has moved~" Seeing Wang Ping, the commander of the anxious son couldn't help but ask.

Wang Ping immediately replied: "Yes, the soldiers divided into three routes and killed the garrison of our three battalions!" ”

Then he pointed to the map and introduced: "An infantry brigade, plus a battalion of the puppet army, and a mountain artillery squadron, killed in the direction of the first battalion!" ”

"The same infantry brigade, a battalion of the puppet army, and a mountain artillery squadron killed it in the direction of the fourth battalion!"

"The Japanese puppet army on the third road only has two infantry squadrons, a battalion of the puppet army, and a field artillery squadron, but they have cavalry troops, and more than 300 cavalry followed, and killed the second battalion at the farthest distance!"

"Major General Kawaguchi, the commander of the Little Devil Brigade, stayed in Xiangfen County, and there was another battalion of puppet troops, plus some disabled Little Devils, guard troops, baggage troops, and a mountain artillery squadron, about 1,500 people stayed behind ......"

"How are you going to fight?" Commander Chen was not polite and asked directly!

For a while, everyone's eyes in the command focused on Wang Ping.

Seeing Wang Ping's hesitant expression, the chief of staff directly added: "If you have something to say, you are the former enemy's command, and now the entire army in Linfen, including the brigade directly under the military region, is all under your command." I, you, Commander Chen, also obey your orders. ”

"Yes, chief, then you're welcome...... Wang Ping's worries disappeared suddenly.

Shifting his gaze to the map in front of him again, he ordered with a serious face: "The new assault battalion, the mortar company directly under the regimental headquarters, and the heavy machine gun company, immediately reinforce the first battalion, the chief of staff, you are responsible for commanding these troops, I don't ask for the total annihilation of the Japanese puppet army of the first battalion, but you must inflict heavy damage on them." Of course, it would be best if it was possible to wipe them all out, and a battalion would be under your command......"

"The brigade directly under the brigade first transferred a small group of elite troops, and harassed the Japanese puppet army that was slow to kill the fourth battalion along the way. Set off as soon as it gets dark today, rush here, and ambush these Japanese puppet troops during the day tomorrow and kill them......"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping directly shifted his gaze to the commander, and then reported: "Commander...... I am not familiar with the direct brigade. I want you to command this ambush battle yourself! After all, the brigade directly under it is a newly formed unit, and without you in charge, I am worried that there will be an accident! ”

"No problem! Today I will listen to you Wang Ping, Wang Ping, you set up the stage, and I will sing! ”
