The commander frowned, stared at the sand table and did not speak.

It took a full five minutes before he asked Wang Ping: "Don't care about the others, you just say how long you can hold Linfen City!" ”

"Of course, I'm not asking you to defend Linfen City and fight hard with the devils who have killed you. How to fight, you are the head of the new regiment, you have the final say! ”

Wang Ping stared at the sand table and hesitated for a minute, then affirmed: "Ten days, ten days at most......"

"It is more than a hundred kilometers from the northwestern front of Jin to Linfen City, and the best way is to use guerrilla warfare and movement warfare on the road to slow them down. If I attack now, I am confident that I will hold them off for ten days! ”

"Enough!" The commander's eyes quickly shot out two fine lights.

"I have an idea, all the mountain artillery and infantry artillery captured in this operation are left in our Taiyue Military Region, and I plan to draw eight mountain artillery guns and the original mountain artillery company of the brigade directly under me to form a mountain artillery battalion. Infantry artillery, as well as light and heavy machine guns and mortars left over from replenishing the brigades under your command, are all left to you. You dispatched the elite from the new regiment to carry out this task, and dragged the 30,000-day puppet army for ten days! ”

"I will return to the military region in a moment, and now after the other three military divisions are replenished with a large amount of ammunition, the combat effectiveness of the troops will definitely be greatly enhanced. I plan to use these ten days to fight at least two battles of annihilation against devils in other military divisions, eliminate at least two infantry brigades, and open two breakthroughs in other aspects of the military region! ”

"After the main force of the devil takes Linfen, if you want to continue this encirclement and suppression operation, you must transfer troops to fill these two gaps. In this way, the new group will face much less pressure! ”

"If the Japanese army intends to end this encirclement and suppression and concentrate its forces against your new regiment, I will ask each of the three military divisions to gather at least one main regiment of troops, take the initiative to attack, kill the little devils, threaten their rear, and relieve the pressure on the new regiment!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he replied: "This method is good!" ”

"Linfen is so big, 30,000 puppet troops were killed at once, and no matter how many troops we have, it is impossible to resist them head-on. But solving this problem from the outside is different. Nearly ten regiments in the three army divisions, plus the brigades directly under them, can at least force the commander of the devil division to divide the strength of two wings! ”

"Commander, I agree to fight like this!"

The commander nodded in affirmation: "Then it's decided, I'll go back to the military region in a while." After coming out for so long, it's time to go back! ”

Then he changed the conversation and continued to ask: "However, even so, your new regiment still has to face more than 20,000 Japanese troops, including a heavy mountain artillery wing, a field artillery wing, and a tank brigade...... There is still a huge disparity in strength. It's not good, it's possible to be driven out of Linfen by the little devils! ”

The smile that had just appeared on Wang Ping's face disappeared all of a sudden.

With a calm face, he stared at the sand table and did not speak.

I have worked hard for so long, with a remnant of the army, and finally found myself in this situation, and the army has developed into the main force of the entire Eighth Route Army, which is known to the head of the headquarters.

If the next battle is directly beaten into a prototype, Wang Ping will definitely not be reconciled.

However, the strength of the opponent was too strong, even if the commander shared one-third of the Japanese army. In front of the weakened new mass, they are still behemoths that cannot be shaken!

Five minutes have passed, and Wang Ping's eyes have not taken his eyes off the sand table in front of him.

Ten minutes later, there was no movement.

The commander couldn't help but ask: "It doesn't matter how to fight first, the devil hasn't been killed yet, and I don't know the combat style of this division, and the current idea is that it will be overturned after the battle starts!" ”

"Wang Ping, tell me first, in the face of 20,000 or 30,000 Japanese elites, what are the difficulties of your new regiment? Solve the difficulties first, and then figure out how to fight this battle well, at least to keep the current base of the new regiment! ”

Wang Ping's heavy face finally moved: "Commander, equipment and ammunition are not a problem?" Because of the heavy losses in the troops, our new regiment now has fewer men and more guns. ”

"There are also a lot of heavy weapons, five mountain artillery companies of the mountain artillery battalion, twenty mountain guns, two infantry guns for each main battalion, plus the infantry artillery and mortars you left behind, commander, several main battalions can already set up infantry artillery companies and mortar companies!"

"As for the ammunition, I don't hide it, commander, the various ammunition that the new regiment has in reserve now is enough to fight several large-scale battles, and it's not a problem!"

The commander nodded and asked, "Then there will be no problem with the new regiment?" ”

"Yes......" Wang Ping replied immediately.

"Troops, the new regiment is seriously under-strengthened......"

"In this battle that has just ended, the main forces of the new regiment plus the local troops have directly lost more than three thousand people, although there are nearly a thousand wounded inside. However, these wounded were basically unable to return to the army within a month! ”

"The gap in the troops is too big, and many of the main forces have only one platoon left in a company, or even half a platoon, and they are almost disabled!"

"I'll fix this for you!" The commander suddenly made a decision, categorically, not like a joke!

Wang Ping shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Commander, this is two or three thousand people, not a few hundred, how can you solve it?" ”

"Now there are battles everywhere in the military district, every battalion, and even every company is fighting, where can we still draw troops to reinforce our new regiment!"

The commander did not get angry because of Wang Ping's rebuttal, but replied confidently: "I said that if I help you solve it, there will definitely be a way to solve it for you!" ”

After saying that, the commander shouted to the guards at the door of the war room: "Immediately notify the chief of staff of the brigade directly under him to report here!" ”

Chief of Staff Wang rushed into the war room, and before he could speak, the commander asked: "How many people are left in the brigade directly under him, and how many captured puppet troops are in his hands!" ”

The chief of staff, who didn't realize that something was wrong, replied with a smile on his face: "Commander, in this big battle, the brigade directly lost nearly two thousand people, but there are at least five hundred lightly and seriously wounded people who can return to the unit!" ”

"However, we have captured more than 1,800 prisoners on the battlefield, and we will definitely be able to mobilize more than 1,000 people to join our Eighth Route Army. In this way, the direct brigade has almost nothing to lose! ”

After a big battle, not only did they kill two or three thousand devils, but they also captured a large amount of equipment, and the mountain artillery company was expanded into a mountain artillery battalion, a heavy machine gun platoon, and a mortar company, all of which reached full strength. More importantly, after replenishing the captives, the troops had almost no losses, and their combat effectiveness was only strong and not weak.

For the Chief of Staff, this is definitely something to be happy and proud of.

However, the commander's next words made his good mood disappear in an instant!
