After an hour of waiting, Lieutenant General Ito was just about to return to the armored car and move on, when the chief of staff rushed over.

"Division commander, 136th Wing emergency telegram: the road they are advancing on has also been damaged by the Eighth Route Army, because the troops have heavy artillery and cars, and they must completely repair those damaged roads before they can continue to advance......"

He also reported that if the roads in front of him were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, even if there was no attack by the Eighth Route Army, it would take a lot of time to repair the roads. The meeting time with us will most likely be postponed until this afternoon, or even evening! ”

"The troops stop advancing!" Lieutenant General Ito's brow furrowed and he ordered.

As soon as he stepped into the armored car, he retracted his heels, and then analyzed: "The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and it intends to use the same method to consume us!" ”

"The longer the two armies are separated, the greater our losses will be under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army! Only by concentrating the two forces together can we huddle together and withdraw from their base area with minimal casualties under the sneak attack of the Eighth Route Army. ”

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the 136th Wing, which had built a road, finally dragged dozens of artillery pieces to join Lieutenant General Ito.

"Division commander, there is still an hour before the aviation returns...... The 136th Wing is already very tired after a day's journey, or we will camp here tonight, rest for the night, replenish our strength, and continue to move forward tomorrow during the day! The chief of staff commanded after glancing at the watch on his wrist.

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Ito was in a very good mood.

The arrival of the 136th Wing brought the number of troops in his hands to 7,000 at once, and all kinds of artillery were available.

Coupled with the armored vehicles he brought out and the cover of the aviation force, Lieutenant General Ito was confident that he could rampage through the base area of the Eighth Route Army again.

At that moment, Lieutenant General Ito really had the idea of leading his troops back in his mind.

Last night, although the attack of the Eighth Route Army caused a lot of losses to the divisions and regiments, the troops who died in the battle were not vegetarians, and the guns in their hands were not burning sticks, so they must have caused great casualties to the Eighth Route Army before they died.

At this time, he suddenly led his troops back to kill, and if he didn't do it, he would be able to catch them off guard.

However, it didn't take long for this idea to appear in his mind and he was rejected by himself.

The losses of the troops were too great, and he didn't dare to bet!

If the Eighth Route Army is prepared when he kills back, if nothing else, the sneak attacks and harassment of the Eighth Route Army along the way alone can make him suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning, and it holds a lot of hole cards in its hands that they don't know, plus the heavy artillery that has just been captured from their hands, it is possible to seize the opportunity to fight a counterattack on their own.

After thinking about it, Lieutenant General Ito still felt that he would withdraw from the base area of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible and keep the troops at hand.

In this encirclement and suppression, the division and regiment don't know how to give an explanation to the front army for their current losses, if there are any more losses, then they will only have the road of disembowelment and apology!

After hesitating for a moment, he replied: "Yes, but the troops must be on alert tonight~ Artillery, infantry, and armored troops must have one-third of their troops on alert at all times." Once you are attacked by the Eighth Route Army, you will immediately counterattack and minimize your losses! ”

Five kilometers away, in a forest, a new regiment of soldiers marching in platoons arrived here one after another to converge.

Guard battalion, three battalions, three new battalions, assault battalions......

Although they lost more than half of their troops, they all added up to nearly 1,500 men.

What's more, the equipment they brought was very good, and all the mortars alone added up to 36 guns.

Looking at the several battalion commanders around him with eager expressions, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also looked forward to it.

Compared with before, Zhong Chenggong at this time is not only more confident, but also more calm.

"The comrades are all here, we will have a meeting now to determine how to clean up the little devils in front of us tonight~" Zhong Chenggong said straight to the point.

"The guard battalion is the first to arrive here, and they have already detected the enemy situation~ All the devils in front of us add up to 7,000 people, including two artillery brigades, a mountain artillery squadron, a rapid-fire artillery squadron, an armored vehicle detachment, and all the remaining infantry, more than 5,000 people!"

"The regimental headquarters gave us the task of taking down all the heavy equipment that destroyed alive the devil's artillery brigade and armored vehicle detachment. If possible, destroy some more of their infantry, so that our next operation will only be good, not bad! ”

"The devil's guard is very tight, now it's getting dark, and the troops still need time to prepare, I'll say my thoughts first, you put forward your opinions, and then implement it directly!"

"Chief of Staff, give the order!" Several battalion commanders replied in unison.

They all saw the progress of the chief of staff, and now they are not only convinced, but also admired.

Zhong Chenggong hesitated for a moment and replied: "It's still the old way, use mortars to sneak attack devils from a long distance, force devils to send troops, and beat them to attack the troops!" ”

"But, tonight I'm going to make some changes to the old way!"

"We have cannons, devils too, and there are more of them than us. Therefore, I plan to divide my troops into multiple routes, from different directions, and sneak attack the devil's station together, so that their artillery wants to counterattack but does not know where to choose to counterattack, so that not only can we kill the devil, but also minimize the casualties, and more importantly, launch a sneak attack from all directions, which can also cause panic to the devils and create a posture that we want to attack them in a big way! ”

"There are twelve companies in the four battalions, and if some of the infantry companies are less strong, you should strengthen your own guard and direct troops to them."

"I'll equip each of your companies with a mortar platoon of three mortars, each with thirty shells, to launch an attack on the Japanese garrison?"

"At the same time of dispersion, we must not forget to cooperate with each other, all the sneak attack troops are based on the battalion, and you several battalion commanders command the three-way sneak attack troops, and find ways to kill more devils. Of course, for insurance purposes, each of your battalion commanders can also keep a reserve in their hands to prevent accidents! ”

"Launch the attack on time at nine o'clock in the evening, end the attack at five o'clock in the morning, and gather here to rest and replenish your strength!"

"For a total of eight hours of attack, I hope that each of your battalions will be able to take out two hundred little devils, and force the devils to give up all the heavy weapons in their hands in order to hurry!"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As soon as the time came, three explosions sounded at the Japanese garrison.

Immediately after, more and more shells fell on the Japanese garrison.

In less than half a minute, the Japanese garrison was full of fireballs rising into the air, and the station, which had been quiet just now, was suddenly chaotic.

Lieutenant General Ito was also moved by the guards behind a relatively safe dirt slope in the confusion.
