"Regiment commander, the commander has telegraphed back, the third regiment of the brigade directly under our command from now on, the commander has given an order, let us directly contact the third regiment of the brigade directly under us!" As soon as the communications platoon commander rushed in front of Wang Ping, he reported excitedly.

"Order......" Wang Ping's face was happy and he began to give orders.

"The three regiments are in a company and platoon unit, evading the Japanese air force, and assembling to Linfen City, and must be in place before eleven o'clock in the evening!"

"The assault battalion also began to move, taking the company and platoon as a unit, and assembling towards Linfen City!"

"Armored company, guard company, anti-aircraft machine gun company, move after dark...... When the time comes, I will ask the political commissar to arrange a car to transport everyone over! ”

The headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, Gao Tian Shaozuo, the captain of the baggage brigade who was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army left behind, was not in a good mood at all, and even a little bored.

All the materials and ammunition temporarily hoarded by the front army at the railway station were lost, and although they were not directly responsible, they certainly could not run away with joint and several responsibility. After all, the safety of the train station is also responsible to a certain extent.

Of course, what bothers him the most is not this, as the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, he is just a captain of a heavy brigade, and there are so many infantry brigade captains, chiefs of staff, and even brigade commanders, after a series of responsibilities are divided, when it is their turn, at most one punishment.

What really bothered him was Linfen City, the safety of Linfen City.

Last night, not only the railway station was lost, but the limited garrison in their hands also lost two of the most elite infantry brigades.

Nowadays, in the entire Linfen City, there is only one military police squadron and one wounded squadron that can really be regarded as infantry, and the rest are all artillery and baggage soldiers, but even so, the total strength of the imperial army is only more than 700 people.

Linfen City is too big, and after the troops of more than 700 people are dispersed to all the city fortifications, there are basically not many.

There are no reserves in hand, which is a taboo in war.

In order to avoid this from happening, Gao Tian Shaozuo had to use the Imperial Army, which he had not trusted very much, to send them to the city fortifications and replace them with a squadron of gendarmes as reserves.

The lack of troops to defend the city was what Gao Tian Shaozuo was most worried about, and he was afraid that the Eighth Route Army would know that the troops in the city were empty, and suddenly launched an attack on Linfen City.

Gao Tian Shaozuo was glad that the Eighth Route Army, which had taken the railway station last night, did not take the opportunity to attack Linfen.

After thinking about it, Gao Tian Shaozuo thought of a reasonable reason: "Although there are not many defenders of Linfen City, the city has thick walls and strong fortifications. Coupled with the large amount of weapons and ammunition stored in the city, the Eighth Route Army will definitely pay a very heavy price if it wants to take Linfen City. It is for this reason that Linfen City was not attacked last night. ”

However, this kind of happiness disappeared from Gao Tian Shaozuo's face as the night shrouded Linfen City again.

"Sir, we found the Eighth Route Army outside the city!"

"Nani......" Gao Tian Shaozuo asked as he got up from his seat and stared at his subordinates.

"There are not many of them, what is the purpose of running outside Linfen City!"

"Not much, they are all moving in squads, and it's not clear what their purpose is!"

"Bageya Road, now appearing outside the city, must be coming from Linfen City under our feet. Order, all garrisons in the city fortifications to strengthen their vigilance, as long as someone is close to our fortifications, there is no need to ask for instructions, and directly counterattack! ”

The adjutant next to him immediately replied: "Go and give orders immediately...... Also, do you want to inform the Fifth Brigade that entered the city during the day, although they only have two squadrons left, they are all elite...... Do you want them to be on guard and ready to fight! ”

"Of course!" Gao Tian Shaozuo replied without thinking about it.

"If the Eighth Route Army really wants to attack Linfen City, the Fifth Brigade is the key to whether we can hold Linfen City. Not only to inform, but also to ask their deputy captain, Captain Takada, to come to the headquarters to assist me in commanding the troops to fight, he is from the infantry and has more experience in combat than me! ”

Because of the short distance of the march, Jin Kai's assault battalion rushed outside Linfen as soon as it was dark.

Seeing that the Japanese puppet army was heavily guarded, Jin Kai's idea of a sneak attack was directly shattered.

"Direct attack!" In front of several company commanders, Jin Kai suddenly decided.

"Battalion commander, do you want to wait for the regiment commander's order, or despise the regiment commander before fighting later!" The instructor cautioned.

"No...... There will definitely be no problems there with the regimental commander! "He has been following Wang Ping during the day, and Jin Kai is very clear about the purpose and urgency of Wang Ping's victory over Linfen City.

Of course, Jin Kai more or less knew a little bit of Wang Ping's confidence and reasons for insisting on taking Linfen City.

Explained to the political commissar: "The Japanese puppet army in Linfen City is insufficient, and we are attacking now for one purpose, to consume a large number of their troops. After the regiment commander arrived, he suddenly launched an attack, using armored vehicles, quickly breaking through the defense line of the Japanese puppet army and entering Linfen City! ”

"Of course, there is a condition for this, the little devils in the city have no extra troops to reinforce the breakthrough."

"Once they have extra troops to kill our assault team, the armored vehicles that enter the city will become a live target for the little devils, and the siege battle will turn into a street battle, maybe by dawn, we will not be able to fully control Linfen City. Because, Linfen City is too big! ”

"Therefore, I plan to consume some more Japanese puppet army troops before the regiment commander comes, and strive to force the devils to transfer all the troops in the city to the city fortifications, so that Linfen City will become an empty city that is tight on the outside and loose on the inside!"

A few company commanders don't have so many concerns, they just want to fight and kill devils.

As soon as Jin Kai's words were finished, several people asked with eager expressions: "Battalion commander, how to fight?" You give the order! ”

Jin Kai directly ordered: "Didn't all the guns of the artillery company be replaced with mortars before departure, one company with a mortar platoon, with a heavy machine gun platoon, attack from three directions at the same time!" ”

"Three companies, I don't need you to occupy how many positions the little devils occupy, or how many meters to assault forward. Calculate for yourselves, before the regiment commander comes, each company will kill a hundred Japanese puppet soldiers for me. How to fight, you have the final say, how many shells and bullets are used, and how much I will replenish for you after the battle! ”

"Da Da Da ......"

The gunfire was the first to sound in the east of Linfen City, and it was the devil who shot first.

Seeing that the Eighth Route Army was approaching the position, a little devil at a firepower point opened fire decisively.

"Da Da Da ......"

The company that had attacked from the east immediately returned fire.

Light machine guns, heavy machine guns, just one salvo hit the shooting hole next to the bullet rain and sparks flew everywhere.

The heavy machine gun, which was shouting loudly, instantly fell silent and lost movement.

There is no doubt that the counterattack just now had bullets drilling through the shooting holes into the pillbox and taking out the imp machine gunner.

But in just a few seconds, the gunshots rang out again.

This time, the little devil directly exposed all the three bunkers that stood in front of Yilian.
