Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 678: The Lion Opens His Mouth! (Second update!)
Not retreating was also on Wang Ping's mind.

Wang Ping didn't expect that Yang Huping, who usually doesn't like to talk much, would also have this idea.

Immediately became interested, stared at Yang Huping and asked, "Tell me what you think?"

"Yes, Commander!" Yang Huping hesitated for a while before answering.

"A few months ago, our Xinyi regiment was severely injured by the devils and was forced to leave the station and retreat into the mountains. I was fighting in the rear of the army. When I left, I saw the despair and helplessness of the people looking at us. "

"At that time, I didn't even dare to raise my head, so I had to lower my head and retreat."

"I just built the base area and became one with the common people. Then I was defeated by the devils, and I left them and was forced to retreat!"

"It is certain that after we left, these ordinary people were more or less punished by the devils, and once again fell into dire straits."

"Now, our new regiment has come out again. Although we haven't established a base, we haven't even decided to stay. However, one victory after another still gives the common people who see us a glimmer of hope."

"Under such circumstances, if we let them know that our Eighth Route Army ran away once again seeing the main force of the devils coming, this little hope will definitely turn into disappointment."

"In addition to the disappointment and helplessness that we left them and retreated last time, I am worried that this disappointment may turn into despair, despair of our Eighth Route Army, and no longer believe in our Eighth Route Army!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, he was very happy and affirmed: "Well said!"

"Our Eighth Route Army is a team to fight devils. There is nothing wrong with that. But don't forget the root of our Eighth Route Army. In addition to fighting devils, we are also the people's soldiers, the people's team. Without the support of the people, we were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops. , can’t survive at all!”

"So, this time, we can't let the common people down again!"

Xiong Changhe first showed a thoughtful expression, and then said firmly.

"I agree to stay and not leave. At worst, I will fight with the little devils who came to reinforce me!"

"What Battalion Commander Yang said, I also saw it in the battle. Without our Eighth Route Army, the devils, the puppet army, and those bastards from the maintenance committee, they are trying their best to squeeze the people. Many people are forced to live because of their exploitation. Don't do coolies for the devils, or even sell your sons and daughters!"

"When I attacked the Zhangcun stronghold, I rescued several women from the stronghold. The Japanese and puppet troops captured them in various villages. It seemed that they were going to sell them to brothels to pay off their debts. Fortunately, I met us, otherwise they It's over."

"After being rescued by us, although they didn't say much! But, I can see from their eyes, they want us to stay and not leave!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong kept frowning.

As the chief of staff, what he needs to consider most is how the troops can survive and how to win the battle.

Even if he didn't go to the battlefield in person, he knew that for the Xinyi regiment, staying was definitely better than retreating.

But the question is, how will the new group stay.

The Japanese and puppet troops attacked heavily, and they rashly chose to stay. Not only did they fail to protect the common people, but they would also destroy their entire army!

He frowned and reminded: "But, leader, it is undeniable that our opponent is too strong. We are resting in the town now, and we can be sure that as soon as they rest, they will surely pounce on us like hungry wolves!"

"Then kill them!" Wang Ping replied surprisingly.

Several people all looked at Wang Ping with dumbfounded expressions.

Wang Ping didn't hide anything, and directly expressed his thoughts in the same way as analyzing and pouring beans.

"Our three troops came out one after another, and all of them assumed the posture of the main force group, making the net that Matsui prepared for us outside the mountain useless, and losing the initiative on the battlefield, chasing after us and beating us!"

"It can be said that we won the first layout out of the mountain."

"But let's not forget that in terms of overall strength, the devils are far superior to us."

"Even if they are in a passive state now, as long as they really understand our strength, Matsumoto will re-arrange and kill us bit by bit."

"Of course, some people will say that we can retreat and fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare with the devils in Linfen, slowly consuming them."

"However, everyone seems to have forgotten a very fatal problem. We don't have any mass base in Linfen."

"If the troops are lost, they can be replenished with prisoners. But what if there are no prisoners?"

"There is still food and ammunition, how to solve these!"

"So, now everyone must recognize the reality: If we really fight the devils through mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, we are definitely no match!"

"But how to solve this problem?"

"My idea is very simple, fight a big battle, and kill one of their main forces before Matsui finds out our true strength."

"As long as we can kill a whole group of him, the Eighth Route Army that is rushing towards us will stop and retreat."

"At that time, we will have an excellent opportunity to develop our base and expand our troops!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ping still had a word in his heart that he didn't say.

Autumn harvest, Linfen will have an autumn harvest in another month.

After the autumn harvest began, the first task of the Japanese army was to grab food from the people with arms, and they had no extra energy to deal with themselves.

You must know that as the war continued, the Japanese army became more and more dependent on Israeli wars to support wars.If he could not grab enough food during the autumn harvest, Matsumoto in Linfen City would definitely be reprimanded by his superiors, and he might even lose his position as brigade commander.

As long as he can severely damage the Japanese army in a short period of time, Matsumoto will not be able to understand the strength of the regiment in a short period of time, and he will be timid and dragged until the autumn harvest.The new group can usher in at least two months of stable development.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong followed Wang Ping to experience many miracles on the battlefield, and there were many battles in which he won more with less, so he was well-informed.

However, after hearing the group leader's decision, which can be said to be a lion's big mouth, he was still taken aback.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he asked back: "Regimental Commander, don't scare me. The Japanese army has a reinforced infantry brigade and a puppet regiment, with a total strength of more than 200 people. On the surface, we have two battalions, but in fact there are only four. Company. Excluding the loss of one day, there are less than 800 people who can still fight! There are even fewer combat troops, and the guard company only has more than 600 people!"

"Look at the devil's equipment: four mountain cannons, two infantry cannons, and nine mortars. No, it's twelve mortars. A regiment of the puppet army is also equipped with three mortars. As for the heavy machine guns, Including the puppet army, there are a total of fourteen!"

"With such powerful firepower, is it possible for us to wipe them all out?"

Seeing that Wang Ping was frowning and not speaking, Zhong Chenggong continued to analyze: "Also, the devils are probably afraid of dividing their troops. Since we came out of the mountain, their main force has been marching in a group without division!"

"In this case, the only way we can destroy them is not available here!"
