For two days, Linfen City was particularly quiet, and there was not a single gunshot.

Regardless of whether it is a new regiment or a devil, they don't want to provoke the other party's nerves and disrupt their own combat deployment at this time.

Lieutenant General Ito was in a very good mood, and after the troops took full control of Linfen, the surrounding area of several kilometers had completely become the territory of the imperial army.

His request for material replenishment to the front army was also responded, and in order to get rid of the new regiment, which was a big problem, the front army agreed to it. All the supplies are in the process of being transferred, and it only takes ten days for Linfen City to hoard a sufficient amount of supplies and ammunition to attack the new regiment base area.

Of course, Lieutenant General Ito, who had good news, was not idle.

The few battles with the new regiment almost all ended in a crushing defeat for the Imperial Army.

After some analysis, Lieutenant General Ito found that these crushing defeats should never have happened, and that the Imperial Army had an absolute advantage to win these battles. However, in the end, it still failed, and one of the most critical and fatal reasons was that the imperial army did not understand the opponent and did not know the opponent's participation strength, including troops, firepower, and even the terrain of the battlefield!

In order to solve this problem, Lieutenant General Ito has done one thing in the past two days, collecting all the information related to the new regiment, even if it is a battle that is too small to be small.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Ito also asked the divisional intelligence staff officers to bribe a large number of ordinary people with money to enter the base area of the Eighth Route Army and search for intelligence!

When he entered the war room in the morning, the first thing Lieutenant General Ito did was to analyze the various information that had been gathered on his desk all night, and from this information he knew his opponent, at least on the battlefield.

Before the ass was hot, the chief of staff rushed in.

"Division commander, something happened......

Small things definitely don't make the chief of staff so flustered. So, as soon as he saw the expression on the face of the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ito realized that something was wrong!

After a moment's pause, he got up from his seat, stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Is it that unit was attacked by the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"No...... Division commander, you misunderstood, it was not our troops that were attacked, it was other imperial troops in the Taiyue area......" the chief of staff quickly explained.

"In just one night, the two lines of our attack on the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army were dealt a devastating blow, and now they have lost contact. There was also a material supply war that was also taken by the Eighth Route Army, and all the materials were lost, including 500,000 rounds of various bullets alone, as well as more than 5,000 shells of various calibers and a large number of other materials! ”

"The front army judged that last night's battle must be a signal for the counteroffensive of the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army."

"Killing our 3,000 imperial troops in one night and capturing a large amount of equipment, the strength of the Taiyue Military Region must be like a tiger. As for our encirclement and suppression troops, because of the loss of the two-way encirclement and suppression troops, two gaps directly appeared in the large net of encirclement and suppression of the Taiyue Military Region. The Eighth Route Army can not only pick out our encirclement through these gaps, but also encircle and annihilate our remaining encirclement troops through these gaps! ”

As an excellent commander, Lieutenant General Ito saw at a glance the huge risks exposed in the midterm.

He frowned and analyzed: "If the encirclement and suppression of the Taiyue Military Region wants to continue, the front army must immediately transfer troops to make up for these gaps and ensure the absolute superiority of the imperial army." If there are no troops, then retreat, and dragging it out like this will only give the Eighth Route Army more opportunities to strike at us! ”

"The division commander is wise...... This encirclement and suppression was organized by the front army with great difficulty, and it must not be abandoned halfway~ The front army has begun to transfer troops to make up for these gaps! The chief of staff complimented at the right time.

Lieutenant General Ito's brows suddenly furrowed, and a very bad premonition appeared in his mind.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and asked rhetorically: "If you transfer troops, you will transfer troops, what are you panicking about, chief of staff?" ”

The chief of staff replied in a surprising voice: "Division commander, I don't know what the reason is, the front army asked us to send at least one infantry wing to reinforce the encirclement and suppression troops to fill these gaps?" ”

"Nani, let's go!" The premonition came true, and Lieutenant General Ito still had a look of disbelief.

Then he shook his head and refused: "No, the task of our division is to recapture Linfen and kill a new regiment." Now that the mission is only half completed, we can't divide the troops yet! ”

"Call back to the front army directly and refuse, and wait until we kill the new regiment before we can divide troops to reinforce other troops. And we don't have supplies and ammunition in our hands to guarantee that our reinforcements will go into battle now! ”

Seeing that the chief of staff didn't move, Lieutenant General Ito scolded directly: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't send a telegram yet! ”

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and replied stubbornly: "There is still content on the telegram......"

"The commander said that in the entire Taiyue area, we have troops here that can be transferred...... They also said that if the battle to encircle and suppress other units of the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army was lost, these Eighth Route Armies would definitely reinforce the new regiment. When the time comes, if we want to take out the new regiment, we will have to face more troops of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"The front army asked us to immediately transfer troops for the sake of the overall situation, and rush to the gap with a quick march!"

"The ammunition supply required by these troops is all provided by the garrison on the march, which absolutely guarantees that they have sufficient ammunition and supplies to participate in the battle!"

Lieutenant General Ito was furious and scolded loudly: "Bageya Road, the front army is treating our division as a firefighter~ Send us wherever there is danger!" ”

"The troops have been sent, what troops will we take to encircle and suppress the new regiment!"

Although the division and regiment have lost a lot of troops since they were dispatched, because the division and regiment have supplementary wings, up to now, the four infantry wings of the main force are still in full strength.

The total strength of the four full-fledged infantry wings, one field artillery wing, one heavy mountain artillery wing, two cavalry wings, one chariot wing, one baggage wing, and other units still has a total strength of more than 28,000 people, and the combat troops alone have nearly 20,000 people.

With so many troops encircling and suppressing a regiment-level unit, it is absolutely like using artillery to fight mosquitoes, and it is impossible to have no troops.

And the reason why the division commander said this was for one reason, he was angry and very dissatisfied with the front army calling him as a firefighter.

However, he could not fail to carry out the orders of the front.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he stubbornly asked: "Division commander, the order of the front army to send troops......

"Execution! Orders have been given, and failure to carry them out is disobedience to military orders, and I don't want to be taken from the position of division commander for this reason......"

"Let the 134th Wing and the Supplementary Wing leave one infantry brigade over, they have more than 4,000 people, which is just enough to meet the requirements of the front army."

"Also, the 134th Wing has the most new recruits, and if you transfer them over, the impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire division can be minimized!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "The division commander is wise ~ humble and will give orders immediately!" ”

Because of the impact of the transfer of troops, Lieutenant General Ito's good mood disappeared all of a sudden. For the next few days, I kept my face down.

The headquarters of the new regiment, because Xiangfen County will definitely become the key object of competition for devils in the future, in order to command the troops nearby, Wang Ping directly moved the headquarters here.

In the telecommunications room next to the war room, several radio stations have been receiving and receiving various sounds since they were turned on.

The latest intelligence of the front-line direct units and reconnaissance platoons, the reporting telegrams of the main battalions, and the intelligence reports and orders from the military districts...... The number of dozens of telegrams per day appeared in Wang Ping's hands.
