Lieutenant General Ito's thoughts at this moment were the same as Wang Ping's first feeling, the Eighth Route Army was going to fight him here.

However, when he thought of the strength in his hands, and then the strength of the new regiment and the fighting style that he had always had, Lieutenant General Ito quickly dismissed this idea, which was both crazy and unrealistic. At this moment, the chief of staff rushed in and brought himself very accurate information.

"The division commander, the stations we arranged in four directions were all attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Although their attack was very fierce, due to the lack of troops, it was impossible to pose a threat to our four garrisons for the time being. However, because the Eighth Route Army, which attacked us, was equipped with a lot of mortars, the troops of the four garrisons suffered a lot of losses in the battle! ”

"I understand~" Lieutenant General Ito's brows furrowed, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"The purpose of the Eighth Route Army is very simple, to attack our main forces, drag them down, and take their troops out of the city!"

"The street fighting in the city has been fought for nearly two hours, and it can be seen that the troops left in the city by the Eighth Route Army are all elite. However, no matter how elite the disobedience is, in the face of the imperial army with absolute superiority, it will face the end of the total annihilation. Unless they break through now, they will definitely be wiped out by us, and the only thing to worry about is time! ”

"But the troops in the city want to get out of the city! It's not that easy, not to mention that the 134th Wing, which we have already entered the city, will not agree, and neither will the other troops we blocked the gates of the four cities! ”

"Since I can't get out of the city, the Eighth Route Army outside the city can only take the initiative to attack and meet them, and then there is this battle in front of us!"

The chief of staff also reacted and immediately replied: "Division commander, since this is a conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, then I will immediately give orders to the troops stationed in the four garrisons, so that they can resolutely repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army, hold the city gate, and must not let the Eighth Route Army in the city rush out!" ”

"No~" The chief of staff did not understand, and Lieutenant General Ito actually refused.

Just when he was about to subconsciously open his mouth to ask why, Lieutenant General Ito explained directly: "Using thousands of imperial troops to block a city gate, and there are hundreds of Eighth Route troops in the city, the troops are too wasteful!" ”

"Since the Eighth Route Army wants to attract our troops through this feint, and then receive their troops in the city from outside the city, then we will plan and give them this opportunity!"

"Didn't the four garrisons all be attacked by the main force of nearly 1,000 Eighth Route Army? According to intelligence, there are only more than 5,000 people left in the new regiment. When they went out to these and the troops in the city, they still had a battalion in the sky that did not move. And this battalion is lurking around Linfen. As soon as our troops move, they will attack our defenses, opening a gap in our defenses outside the city to meet the troops they have left behind! ”

The chief of staff frowned even deeper, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Division commander, since you have already judged the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, why do you still have to plan it, isn't that a chance for the Eighth Route Army?" ”

Lieutenant General Ito replied with a sneer: "If we don't give them a chance, how can we kill them!" ”

"Kill them~" The chief of staff reacted quickly.

Then he stared at Lieutenant General Ito and asked, "Are you trying to take this opportunity to take out the new main force...... I understand, division commander, you give the order! ”

Lieutenant General Ito's face quickly became serious, and then he ordered: "After the garrisons of the four garrisons leave one infantry brigade to continue to block the city gate, the other troops will directly launch a counterattack against the current Eighth Route Army and kill them!" ”

"The 4th Cavalry Wing, the 1st Tank Squadron of the Tank Brigade, the 1st Tank Squadron of the Tank Brigade, stand by and do not participate in the counterattack ......"

The order of the division commander, Lieutenant General Ito, was to take out the Eighth Route Army that was attacking them.

The first thought of several Japanese garrison commanders was their most common combat method, which was to attack head-on, outflank them in a roundabout way, and eat the Eighth Route Army attacking them in one bite.

And the only downside to this is that it takes time.

If the roundabout troops wanted to go around behind the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army unconsciously, they would have to walk at least two or three kilometers, and even a rapid march would take one or twenty minutes.

It was these twenty minutes that gave Wang Ping a buffer time for the layout.

If the devil's appetite is not so big, launch a counterattack directly.

With their strong combat effectiveness and assault ability, even if they can't completely annihilate the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army, they can still inflict heavy losses on them.

After all, a large proportion of the new recruits in several offensive units, and many of them were not even equipped with rifles, which was completely brilliant for the battlefield cry, especially the three newly formed main battalions.

Tang Guangxin, the former enemy headquarters of the new regiment, and the commander of the reconnaissance platoon, rushed in panting like he was in a hurry.

"Commander...... The devils moved, they sent a large number of roundabout troops to surround our attacking troops, and then annihilate them all! ”

Wang Ping's face changed and he reacted quickly.

"It's not good, the little devil saw our conspiracy and wanted to eat our attacking troops~"

"I still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the commander of the little devil division and the little devil~"

The troops here accounted for more than half of the total strength of the new regiment, and if something happened, the blow to the new regiment would be absolutely devastating.

Therefore, when they heard Wang Ping say that there was an accident, Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong were anxious on the spot.

"Commander, how are we going to fight next?" Zhong Chenggong asked subconsciously.

Although Huang Yuanqiang didn't speak, his eyes were staring at Wang Ping tightly, very nervous.

"The original battle plan has changed!" Wang Ping quickly forced himself to calm down and made a decisive decision.

"Doesn't the devil want to annihilate our attacking forces? Then I'll give them this chance! Chief of Staff, the radio contacted the four battalion commanders and informed them of the information, so that they could freely seize the opportunity to quickly retreat before the devil's detour troops completed the encirclement, and then retreat to the defense line far away from Linfen with the devil's pursuers! ”

"Order the assault battalion, get ready for battle...... As long as the main force of the devils is transferred by us, we will immediately launch an attack on the remaining troops of the devils at the city gate. ”

"Tell Jin Kai to use all the firepower of the assault battalion, tear a hole in the devil's defense line for me in the shortest possible time, and pick up the direct team and guard company in the city!"

The chief of staff asked with a sigh of relief: "Do you want to contact Captain Li and let them prepare for a breakthrough!" ”

"No need to ......," Wang Ping replied with his head shaken.

"Now that the gunfire in Linfen City is so dense, Li Wen must be fighting, and it is impossible to contact him. And with Li Wen's command ability, he should be able to seize the opportunity! ”
