Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 675 Matsui's 'Ambush' (third!)

The chief of staff grabbed the telegram and read it for himself. After reading it, he was stunned for half a minute before speaking to Matsui.

"General, it's true. Where did the Xinyi Regiment come from so many troops? Could it be that other Eighth Route Army troops have come to Fen?"

"Is this inference impossible?" Major General Matsui retorted without hesitation.

"The whole of North China is carrying out the command of Your Excellency Commander, using the cage policy to block and divide the Eighth Route Army troops. If other Eighth Route Army troops enter Linfen, no matter where they go, they will not escape our eyes!"

"Then how did they come out!" the Chief of Staff exclaimed in confusion.

"The new regiment only has that little force, a main force in Linfen North, a main force in Tianxin Town, and now half a regiment has emerged in Fengyun Town, where did they get so many troops!"

Matsui frowned and said nothing.

After staring at the map for half a minute, he suddenly reacted.

With a face suddenly enlightened, he shouted: "I see. Do you still remember that some time ago, many prisoners who were building artillery towers were taken away by the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army who appeared in Fengyun Town must be these prisoners who were taken away by the Eighth Route Army."

Then he cursed angrily and in amazement: "Bage Yalu, the Eighth Route Army's development of troops is really too fast. How long it took to train a group of weak captives into soldiers is completely beyond my imagination!"

The chief of staff also reacted, and hurriedly asked: "Then what shall we do next!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communication staff officer rushed over with the same anxious expression.

"General, the stronghold of Fengyun Town has an urgent call. The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack the stronghold. They have artillery, and the morale of the puppet army is also very low. Please support!"

The chief of staff immediately asked: "There is only one small squad of imperial troops left in the stronghold of Fengyun Town. Even if there is a strong artillery tower to defend, it will not last long. General, we must immediately send troops to reinforce Fengyun Town!"

Major General Matsui frowned and scolded: "Send troops to reinforce, don't I know? The point is, where do we have troops to reinforce Fengyun Town now!"

The chief of staff immediately thought that all the troops that Linfen City could send out had already been sent out, and now there were no more soldiers to send.

After hesitating for a while, he suggested, "Can you transfer half a brigade from the troops that returned to Tianxin Town to reinforce Fengyun Town!"

"No!" Matsui refused without hesitation.

"There is an old saying in China that tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and your method is exactly what it means. At that time, not only will it not be able to serve as reinforcements, but the reinforcements after the division of troops are likely to be defeated by the Eighth Route Army one by one!"

"Then we'll just watch the Eighth Route Army take control of Fengyun Town!" the Chief of Staff shouted unwillingly.

In order to persuade the head of the brigade to reinforce, the chief of staff took great pains, frowning and analyzing.

"In addition to Tianxin Town, which has already been captured by the Eighth Route Army, if Fengyun Town is lost again, two towns in Linfen will be controlled by the Eighth Route Army."

"General, these two towns are the towns with the largest population and the most land in Linfen. Once they are occupied by the Eighth Route Army, the grain we need to hand in for this autumn harvest will definitely be greatly affected. Please think twice, Your Excellency, brigade commander!"

"Also, in terms of the benefits brought by the towns of Linfen to the imperial army, we would rather give up Linfen North, which is full of mountains and hills, than Linfen South, which has many good fields and a large population!"

Major General Matsui kept frowning and did not speak.

When the chief of staff was about to continue the analysis, he suddenly interrupted: "We still have a troop idle, not fighting!"

"Now that the new regiment has come out of the mountain, and has fought so well outside the mountain, it will definitely not easily return to the mountain. Then the first brigade we arranged to blockade the mountain around the mountain will be idle, wasting troops by guarding the stronghold.

"Immediately give an order to the first brigade: "The troops quickly assembled, reinforced Fengyun Town, and killed the Eighth Route Army active in Fengyun Town! "

Outside the stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town.

As a large stronghold, in addition to building a turret more than ten meters high in the middle of the stronghold, the devils also built several shorter telegraphs around the turret. Each blockhouse has a machine gun and several rifles. Basically it's all sealed.

"Battalion Commander, the Devil's machine gunners in the bunker are too cunning, the firepower is so fierce and accurate, the soldiers can't rush through!" Fan Wenlong, the commander of the second company, complained, frowning.

After two consecutive attacks, the troops had dropped nearly [-] corpses outside the stronghold, but there was still no progress, and they were anxious to put them on anyone.

Rong Jun also frowned.

Originally thought that the stronghold of Fengyun Town was a piece of fat, but in fact it was a piece of hard bone.

He frowned and said, "The gun towers and blockhouses are all made of masonry, and mortars are useless to hit them. The three mortars that were just captured by the devils, except for the Japanese and puppet troops outside the gun towers, Those inside the gun tower can’t do anything to them at all, so we have to think of other ways?”

"Buzz buzz..." As soon as he finished speaking, the loud roar of the devil's plane reached Rongjun's ears.

"It's a devil plane, notify the troops, disperse and hide, we will attack after the plane leaves!"

Fortunately, the devil's stronghold was built in the middle of the town, surrounded by houses.

In less than 2 minutes, everyone disappeared in the town.

If it wasn't for the huge black smoke column and unburned fire that were still rising from the devil's stronghold, the devil pilots in the sky almost thought that there was no battle here, and they found the wrong target.

"Baga, where's the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold!" the devil pilot scolded, frowning.

Circling in the air very cautiously, getting lower and lower, after 5 minutes of circling without finding the Eighth Route Army, the Devil pilot decisively decided to retreat.

Although he didn't receive any punishment for the bombing mistake in the morning, the captain still reprimanded himself severely, and he also heard that the infantry below directly reported him to the headquarters for this matter. , Maybe I have lost the qualification to continue flying combat now.

Therefore, Devil pilots are now particularly cautious.Unless you are [-]% sure, you will never drop bombs casually.

Less than 10 minutes after the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the stronghold breathed a sigh of relief, the densely packed Eighth Route Army emerged from all directions again.

"We must find a way to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise we will retreat every time the devil plane comes, and we will not be able to take down the stronghold even after dark!" Rong Jun, who had summoned several company commanders together, ordered with a frown.

"Also, no one knows when the devil's reinforcements will arrive and where they will come from. The troops are now concentrating together to attack Fengyun Town. It is too dangerous. We must make a quick decision and then separate the troops."

"In this way, even if the devil reinforcements come, it is impossible to take us away!"

"Think about it, is there any way to take down the devil's stronghold as soon as possible!"

For the next hour, no matter whether it was attacking with earthen tanks, sending out blasters to assault, or digging trenches to approach...all available methods were used, but the troops still failed to take down the stronghold, and nearly another platoon was lost.

At this moment, the trainer He Yun came over suddenly, and reminded with a worried face:

"Battalion Commander, there is a situation. The stronghold can't be attacked for a long time, coupled with the continuous harassment of devil planes, I found that the morale of the troops has begun to fluctuate!"

Rong Jun was suddenly startled and broke out in cold sweat.

With lingering fear on his face, he said: "I almost forgot, we are a newly formed army with complicated personnel. It doesn't matter if we win a battle. Once we lose a battle, the army will definitely be in chaos, and it may even be defeated like a mountain!"

Then he quickly made a decision: "We can't fight the devils here anymore. We must ensure the morale of the troops through continuous victories, otherwise our combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly affected!"
