Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1296 Wang Ping's backhand! (First update!)

The Jinsui army was very anxious. In order to avoid accidents, they quickly took down Linfen City, which they had paid a huge price for. In just five days, they gathered all the funds and materials of the No Singing Eighth Route Army, and then turned the corner to Xinyituan.

Wang Ping was very straightforward. After receiving the ocean and the ammunition, he planned to withdraw from Linfen City.

"Regimental Commander, the Lieutenant General of the Jinsui Army outside the city has sent someone to urge us to leave the city quickly!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong frowned, dissatisfied with the report.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "He is right in urging, he must be in a hurry to get Linfen City into his hands at such a high price!"

"Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have in the city, and all the supplies that have been transferred out!"

Zhong Chenggong replied with a smile on his face: "It's all shipped out!"

"The current Linfen City is an empty city, except for the thousands of people who chose to stay after we mobilized, there is nothing else!"

"There is only one battalion left in the army, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the regiment headquarters!"

"I reckon that if Chief Yan knew about this situation, he would definitely be annoyed and scold him directly."

"Finally win an empty city at such a high price!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "Don't underestimate our Chief Yan!"

"He is not very good at fighting, but he is definitely good at developing the economy. Even if Linfen City is an empty city now, I dare say that after the Jinsui Army occupies here, Linfen City will be able to restore its former prosperity in at most one year!"

"Okay, since the Jinsui Army is in such a hurry, let's go!"

"Order the regiment headquarters to transfer immediately and withdraw from Linfen City!"

The political commissar has not spoken, and he is unwilling to withdraw from the bottom of his heart.

After all, Linfen City is the largest city in the Xinyituan base area, and it was also won by the soldiers from the devils with their lives.

Now it's withdrawn like this, and I don't know when I will be able to come back again.

Even though he knew that this was an unchangeable fact, he still couldn't help asking: "Regimental Commander, is there really no way to continue to occupy Linfen City!"

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "It's not just Linfen City!"

"Not surprisingly, we will give up many counties around Linfen City and give them up to the Jinsui Army!"

Seeing Huang Yuanqiang's shocked face, Wang Ping quickly added, "Of course, this resignation was not given to them for nothing!"

"If the Jinsui army wants to get those county towns, they have to pay a price to buy them from us just like Linfen City!"

The political commissar still asked with a puzzled expression, "Why?"

"It's very simple. Before the Japanese are completely defeated, no one can be the chief culprit for destroying the united front. They are national sinners!"

"It is impossible to stop the Jinsui army from returning to Shanxi. After all, the Jinsui army belongs to Shanxi, and we have no reason to stop them from coming back!"

"In order to ensure peaceful coexistence and not intensify the conflict, our Eighth Route Army must compromise where it should compromise!"

"However, there are limits to this compromise."

"At the same time, we have to get what our Eighth Route Army needs through this kind of compromise."

"For example, military expenditures, medicines that money can't buy..."

Seeing the growing anger on the political commissar's face, Wang Ping immediately assured: "Political commissar, you don't have to worry too much~"

"We have withdrawn from Linfen City, but our troops will not go too far."

"Don't forget, what we are trading with the Jinsui Army is only Linfen City, and the surrounding countryside of Linfen is not within the scope of the transaction!"

"After the troops withdraw from Linfen City, at least three battalions will stay outside Linfen City for training and keep an eye on Linfen City!"

"Once the situation changes in the future, we can immediately send troops to take back Linfen and return to Linfen City!"

Huang Yuanqiang shook his head and replied, "It's not that easy!"

"The Japanese were covered by planes and had an advantage in troops. They didn't even take down the city defenses in one afternoon, let alone our three battalions!"

"And the Jinsui army is not a fool. Linfen is an important town in southwestern Shanxi. After reoccupying Linfen City, they will definitely increase a large number of city defenses in Linfen City!"

"The Jinsui army is notorious for its good defense. By then, the Linfen city defense fortifications will definitely become an iron wall, and there will be permanent and semi-permanent firepower points everywhere outside the city!"

"Not to mention the strength of the three battalions, even if we pull the whole regiment over, we may not be able to regain Linfen!"

"Leader, don't comfort me. Withdrawing from Linfen City today, it will definitely be difficult to come back later!"

A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Wang Ping's face, and he ordered: "If I remember correctly, Chen Jianbin, the engineer battalion commander, should still be in the city. Tell him to come to the headquarters immediately!"

In less than 10 minutes, Chen Jianbin rushed over.

"Hello, head of the regiment...Hello, political commissar...Hello, chief of staff..." Chen Jianbin, who was still panting heavily, rushed into the headquarters and reported.

Wang Ping nodded, and continued to order while Huang Yuanqiang stared with puzzled eyes: "Be on guard outside the headquarters of the guard platoon. Without my order, no one can come within ten meters of this house!"

Then he ordered Chen Jianbin: "Chen Battalion Commander, tell the political commissar and chief of staff what your engineer battalion has been secretly doing these past few days?"

"Yes, head!" Chen Jianbin replied immediately.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, after four days and four nights of secret operations, we planted a total of two thousand catties of explosives under the city wall at the southeast corner of Linfen City!"

"These explosives were wrapped in several layers of raincloth and buried deep in the ground. They will definitely not get wet for three or four years!"

"At that time, as long as we concentrate the artillery to bombard the explosives embedding point, detonate the explosives!"

"No matter how strong the city wall of Linfen City is, it will be blasted into a huge gap with a width of at least 30 meters!"

The political commissar was stunned and looked at Chen Jianbin with a dumbfounded face.

Then he shifted his gaze to Wang Ping, with the same shocked expression on his face. He never thought that the head of the team, Wang Ping, would keep such a trick!
If a huge gap with a frontal width of more than 30 meters can be blown out in the city wall during the siege battle, then it will definitely not be a problem for the troops to capture Linfen City and recapture Linfen City.

"Leader, you're such an amazing backhand!"

"The only worry now is not letting the Jinsui army who are about to enter the city know about it!"

Chen Jianbin immediately replied: "Please rest assured, political commissar, confidentiality is definitely not a problem!"

"Including me, there were only [-] people from the engineering battalion participating in the entire operation, all of whom were party members and backbones in the engineering battalion. I have issued a confidentiality order, and I will never leak a word!"

"Okay, very good. In this way, as long as we are willing to come back to the city of Linfen under our feet!" Huang Yuanqiang replied excitedly.

"At that time, your engineering battalion will definitely be the first!"
