After the order was issued, Wang Ping continued to ask, "Is there any other news?" ”

"Yes!" The communications platoon commander immediately replied.

"The commander of the third battalion, Yan Battalion, reported that the Japanese puppet army they were responsible for the attack suddenly turned around and retreated to Xiangfen County. They're trying to find a way to slow them down! Battalion Commander Yan also said that if the regiment headquarters could give him another battalion, he would have a way to kill the devils on the way back! ”

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

"In order to drag down the three infantry brigades of the little devils, our one, two, and four main battalions will definitely suffer heavy losses. I didn't expect the devil to follow closely and send an infantry brigade to our mouths to make up for our losses! ”

"Platoon Commander Yang, you immediately send a telegram to the commander, forward the original text of Yan Song's report to the commander, and ask the commander to choose the battlefield by himself and kill them...... Call Yan Song back again and ask him to take the initiative to contact the commander, from now on, his three battalions will listen to the commander's command! ”

"Yes, Commander......"

After watching the communications platoon commander rush out of the war room, Wang Ping immediately shifted his gaze to Jin Kai.

"Regiment commander, are you going to start the attack!" came in and met Wang Ping's gaze at him, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Wang Ping nodded and ordered: "Order the troops to be ready for battle." The cooking class hurried up to make dinner, and the devil's plane couldn't come out in two hours, so I tried to eat in an hour and leave in two hours! ”

When he came in, he immediately replied: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, the troops are ready!" ”

The atmosphere at the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Xiangfen County was very solemn.

From the moment the order to retreat was given, Major General Kawaguchi's face did not look good.

Because, the feedback from the battlefield is more and more proof of their judgment of the battle situation.

"General, the three brigades called back, and the Eighth Route Army moving around them seemed to be crazy, attacking them with a completely desperate posture, blocking them, and preventing them from withdrawing from the Eighth Route Army base area. Now the three brigades have to pay very huge casualties for every step back! ”

"It must be which of our brigades is being targeted by the Eighth Route Army again, and wants to kill this brigade in their base area!" Major General Kawaguchi replied with a calm face.

After glancing down at the gold watch on his wrist, he continued: "In less than two hours, it will be dark, and the aviation must return. The Eighth Route Army must be trying to drag it out until dark, and when the aviation is forced to return, concentrate the main force and take out one of our infantry brigades! ”

After speaking, Major General Kawaguchi exuded a thick murderous aura on his body, staring at the chief of staff and ordering.

"Give orders to the three brigades to intensify the offensive and not be afraid to waste ammunition. If the infantry can't solve the enemy, use artillery to solve it, or call in aviation to support. We must seize the last two hours when the aviation can still be reinforced, rush out of the base of the Eighth Route Army, and return to the station! ”

"Also, order the intelligence department, no matter what the cost, be sure to find out the specific location of the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army!"

"It is impossible for the strength of several regiments to suddenly disappear under our noses!"

"Only by figuring out their specific location can we judge what the next target of the Eighth Route Army is!"

Despite the constant cruising back and forth of the little devil planes overhead, the troops of the two regiments of the brigade directly under the military region still hurried to the direction of Xiangfen County.

Because they walked all the small roads, mountain roads, and marched in companies as a company, they took cover in advance when they heard the roar of planes from afar. The little devils didn't notice the Eighth Route Army marching right under their noses.

"Commander, the results of the battle have been counted!" The commander also followed the troops on two legs, and as he walked, the excited voice of the chief of staff of the brigade under his direct command was heard.

"Seeing that you are so happy, the harvest must be not small!" The commander was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

The chief of staff immediately replied: "The seizures are enormous: more than 800 rifles of all kinds were captured, and if you count the destruction by shells and explosives packs, more than a thousand. In addition, there are eight intact heavy machine guns, nine mortars, two infantry guns, four mountain guns, 25 light machine guns, and more than 150,000 rounds of various bullets, which are only boxes and boxes, not counting the little devils, if you count them all, there will definitely be nearly 100,000 more bullets! ”

"There were also a lot of shells, a total of 200 rounds of infantry artillery shells, 500 rounds of mountain artillery shells, and more than 1,100 rounds of mortar shells. Except for the mortar shells, all the other shells were captured before they could be used. ”

"In addition, more than 250 people of the puppet army who acted with the devils became our prisoners!"

The commander replied with great satisfaction: "It's still a lot of war captured here in Wang Ping, and the equipment of a regiment will be in hand after a battle, and there will be so much ammunition!" ”

The chief of staff knew very well the meaning of the commander's words, and analyzed with emotion: "Yes, commander! If we were to fight this battle on our own, without the participation of a new regiment of engineer platoons and a company of flying thunder artillery, not to mention the casualties, it would be good if the capture could be half of what it is now! ”

"The little devil is too ruthless, when he sees that the battle situation is not in his favor, he destroys the excess weapons and ammunition and does not let us capture it!"

"If it weren't for the engineer platoon that used explosives to instantly kill the strength of nearly two squadrons of the little devil, the flying thunder artillery company suddenly opened fire and killed dozens of people, creating conditions for us to fight quickly and quickly, ending the battle before the devil could react, and not giving the little devil time to destroy weapons and ammunition. A lot of weapons in this are sure to be blown up to scrap metal by the little devil before he dies! ”

The commander couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the reason why under the same circumstances, why the new regiment can fight stronger and stronger surrounded by the heavy troops of the little devils." And many troops not only failed to develop, but became weaker and weaker the more they fought! ”

"The reason is very simple, since a battle has been decided to be fought, then a war of annihilation should be fought. Take out all the hole cards in your hand, end the battle as fast as possible, and don't be afraid to waste ammo. On the battlefield, the more timid you are and the more afraid you are of wasting ammo, the harder it will be to take out the enemy quickly! ”

"As a result, the ammunition was used, and the troops were also lost a lot, but they didn't win the devil, or they won the little devil, and the weapons and ammunition were almost destroyed by them before they died, and what didn't they capture?"

"Of course, there is also a prerequisite for such a fight, that is, full confidence in the battle that the troops are about to fight."

"If the little devils of a brigade don't have confidence, then they will fight the little devils of a squadron, and if they can't do it, they will fight the devils of a small team, in short, they must have the certainty of victory to fight like this!"

The chief of staff is the future brigade commander of the brigade directly under him, and he knows very well that this is the commander who is testing him.

He nodded thoughtfully and replied: "Please rest assured, commander, after the battle, I will definitely summarize it well and learn as much as possible from Commander Wang's ability to command troops!" ”

After finishing it, I subconsciously wanted to ask the commander whether the equipment and ammunition that the troops had just captured would immediately replenish the troops.

You know, from the end of the battle, several battalion commanders have been eyeing these equipment, and more than once came to ask themselves when they would let their heavy machine gun platoon and mortar company be fully formed.

Before the words could be spoken, the communications staff officer rushed over.

"Chief, the new regiment leader Wang telegram!"

"Give me ...... quickly" Although I haven't read the content of the telegram yet, as an excellent soldier, the commander has a strong premonition, and this telegram must have good news to tell himself!
