Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 598 Matsumoto is Scared (First Update!)

"General, we have lost contact with the stronghold of Fengyun Town. I am worried that the stronghold has been breached by the Eighth Route Army!" The chief of staff reported hesitantly as he walked into the war room.

The most worrying thing in my heart became a reality, and Major General Matsumoto's face suddenly became gloomy.

Frowning, he ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the reinforcements: Speed ​​up and reinforce the stronghold of Fengyun Town. I want to know how the new regiment took down our heavily defended stronghold of Fengyun Town!"

"Hi!" The chief of staff replied with a serious face.

Almost two hours later, Matsumoto finally received a call back from the reinforcements.

After confirming that the stronghold of Fengyun Town had been captured and the gun tower was destroyed, Major General Matsumoto was stunned for half a minute before he could react.

The casualties of more than 300 devils are nothing to Matsumoto, who has 6000 people?What really worried him was the rising combat power of the new group.

More than half a month ago, the new regiment could only kill at most one infantry squad of the imperial army in one night.

But now, a reinforced squadron, two garrison squads, and five imperial association army companies are no match.

The fall of the Fengyun Town stronghold made Matsumoto realize that all the strongholds in Linfen were no longer safe, even though he had ordered the defenders of all small strongholds to transfer to medium and large strongholds.

Especially after learning that the Xinyi Regiment used infantry artillery and other heavy weapons in the stronghold of Fengyun Town, this judgment became even more certain.

"General, the troops in the mountains must be brought out!" A staff officer who advocated stopping the raid last night put forward his opinion again.

"The fighting power of the new regiment is too strong, and all of us have underestimated their true strength. According to the attack power they are currently attacking a large-scale stronghold of us in one night, our stronghold outside Linfen City will be destroyed in a few days. All fall!"

"At that time, if we want to restore these strongholds and restore local law and order, we will definitely pay a high price!"

"Besides, when the Xinyi regiment attacked our strongholds, because our strength was limited, it was entirely to give the opponent a chance to defeat us!"

"Our troops are running out. The total number of troops in all the strongholds outside the city is only more than 600. If these people lose any more, we can only deploy troops from the main force to supplement the major strongholds. At that time, we can use them to There are even fewer mobile troops to encircle and suppress the Xinyi Regiment!"

"Also, the troops I touched into the mountain only brought ten days of combat supplies, and now half of the time has passed, and they must retreat for at most three days. Now the retreat is only three days earlier, but you can let the mountain We outside the mountain lost at least three strongholds and hundreds of imperial soldiers!"

This time, the deputy chief of staff who spoke out against it yesterday did not speak.

There are more than 800 puppet troops in one night, and more than 2000 in three nights.Even if the Linfen garrison brigade has enough troops, it cannot afford such a big loss.

Major General Matsumoto quickly made a decision: "We must immediately get rid of the situation that there are no soldiers available outside the mountain, and focus on encircling and suppressing the main force of the new regiment outside the mountain."

"As for the remnants of the Xinyi Regiment staying in Dashan, there is no cooperation from the troops outside the mountain, and there is no Wang Ping, the leader of the Xinyi Regiment. We just need to guard the blockade and let them fend for themselves!"

"Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the troops entering the mountain to stop the raid and withdraw from the mountain!"

"Leave a brigade to strengthen the blockade. After learning that we have withdrawn our troops, I am worried that the Xinyi Regiment will take the opportunity to retreat back to the mountain with a large amount of food and supplies seized from us!"

"Since it came out and caused us so many casualties, don't go back!"

"Another brigade, divided into two, carrying the radio, moving directly towards Fengyun Town, hiding and waiting!"

"Once they come out to move around again, press up immediately and encircle them!"

The third company commander Yang Huping and Li Wen were both injured.

Because of continuous combat, there is little rest.The vigilance of the two exhausted people on the battlefield was much lower, and then they were hit by a counter-ambush by the devil's special forces on the battlefield. Not to mention the loss of more than half of the troops, one of them was interrupted with one arm.

Although the wound had been covered with a bandage, bright red blood continued to seep out of the bandage due to constant travel and exercise.

"Comrade Li Wen, I only have 18 people left. This is the result of the battalion commander adding 6 veterans and [-] new recruits to me. If the devils continue to press so hard and press us to fight, they will last until tomorrow night at most. , Comrades are too tired because of continuous fighting.”

"I only have three people left here, and I'm very tired, and I can't hold on for too long!" Li Wen replied with a heavy tone.

Then he changed the subject and continued: "It's really not possible, we can only hide and seek with the devils in this mountain."

"However, with the tracking methods of the devil's special forces, if we simply evade, the battalion commander and the others will be found by the devil in at most two days!"

"No!" Yang Huping objected immediately.

"The battalion commander and the others must not be found by the devils. The dozens of wounded there are all old comrades. Once found by the devils, they will definitely be massacred!"

"It's a big deal that we will fight the devil!"

Speaking of which, neither of them is anymore, Sparks.

He closed his eyes with a sullen face, and seized the last bit of time before dawn to rest.

The rest time was short, and the two people with dark circles ate a few mouthfuls of dry food in a hurry and began to organize their equipment.

The same is true for the dozen or so fighters around. Everyone is very quiet, sorting out their equipment, or eating dry food to replenish their strength.

After fighting continuously for a long time, and living up to now, the veteran has become a real elite.Recruits also unknowingly become veterans.There was no need for Yang Huping and the others to remind him of these preparatory work, he did it well.

"Chi Chi Chi..." At this moment, the sound of feet stepping on leaves suddenly came.

Yang Huping's expression changed, and he quickly put the rifle in his hand and loaded it with bullets.

Fortunately, as the sound got closer, they heard the signal agreed in advance.

"It's the comrade who watched the devils back, so don't be nervous!" Yang Huping said with a long sigh of relief.

Soon, an equally exhausted warrior rushed over.Although his face was very tired, Yang Huping could see the excitement on his face.

"Company commander, good news, the devils have retreated!"

"They started eating breakfast at dawn. I thought they were going to continue to siege us. But after eating, instead of starting to sweep, they started packing supplies and equipment, and began to retreat outside the mountain!"

"Sure enough, there is good news!" Yang Huping shouted in his heart.

But it didn't show up.

After a few days of fighting, he realized that devils are also very cunning, maybe this is a conspiracy, and it was nothing but joy.
