Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 761 Deception
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters in Linfen City was very happy. He had just received a notification that the first batch of weapons, ammunition and supplies to support Linfen was about to be shipped.

All materials were transported by railway and a military train.

As soon as he saw Major General Matsumoto standing in front of the sand table, the chief of staff reported happily.

"Brigade Commander, the first batch of materials given to us by the headquarters was mainly equipment and ammunition. The troops lost a large number of soldiers and equipment. The headquarters means that we hope that we will make the troops fully staffed first, conduct adaptive training, and form combat effectiveness early. .”

"In this way, as soon as the reinforcements from the headquarters arrive, we can attack the base area occupied by the new regiment and destroy them!"

Major General Matsumoto also smiled, a rare smile on his serious face.

"Yoxi, the command is very thoughtful!"

"Chief of Staff, immediately contact the railway garrison and strengthen the defense. We must ensure the safety of this batch of equipment and ammunition!"

"If there is any trouble along the railway line, report it to the brigade headquarters immediately!"

"Also, order the intelligence department to closely monitor all the main forces of the Eighth Route Army exposed in Linfen, and report any changes to the brigade headquarters directly!"

The chief of staff reacted quickly, and asked with a frown: "General, are you worried that the new regiment will hijack our military column for transporting weapons and equipment!"

"Not bad!" Major General Matsumoto affirmed.

Then he analyzed with a serious face: "In this battle, the Xinyi Regiment also suffered heavy losses and consumed a lot of supplies and ammunition. More importantly, because we ordered the troops participating in the war to destroy weapons and ammunition at critical moments, the Xinyi Regiment did not follow the emperor's order." The army seized too many things. Therefore, like us, they urgently need to replenish weapons and ammunition, as well as a large amount of equipment that was lost on the battlefield."

"A military column full of weapons and ammunition is definitely a very attractive piece of fat for them. We have to guard against it!"

The chief of staff suddenly realized and replied: "The general is thinking, I will give the intelligence department an order immediately!"

"According to the latest intelligence sent by the intelligence department, we have intelligence personnel all around the four main camps of the Xinyi Regiment to monitor them 24 hours a day! In the battle that just ended, fight for what the general just said, they The loss is heavy, and they are recruiting new soldiers in their so-called base to replenish the troops!"

"Because they kept their food, the enthusiasm of Chinese people to join the Eighth Route Army was very high."

"However, it is impossible for these recruits to form combat effectiveness in less than half a month from the humble point of view."

"Therefore, I believe that the Xinyi Regiment should not have any military actions for the time being. However, General, your order just now must be passed on verbatim!"

"Yo Xi, even if the possibility is very small, we can't let our guard down!" Major General Matsumoto was very satisfied with the chief of staff's answer and continued.

"However, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. As long as there is a one in ten thousand possibility, we must be prepared!"

On a mountain ridge nearly one kilometer away from the railway line, Wang Ping, commander, chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, and political commissar Huang Yuanqiang all lay down here, holding binoculars and staring at the railway line motionlessly.

The chief of staff who arrived here in advance introduced while observing.

"Commander, head, political commissar, our idea is to borrow the little devil's army column on the railway ahead!"

"The terrain here is rugged, which is very suitable for us to covertly approach the railway line. Although there are three strongholds of the little devil's railway garrison scattered on this railway line. But we have infantry artillery, so we should be able to kill them very clearly!"

"Then act according to the original combat plan! Separate three firepower companies to attack these three strongholds, attack the two strongholds at one end and one at the end. After completing the task, immediately set up a blocking position based on the stronghold to block the front and rear of the railway line. Possible reinforcements."

"The explosion on the railroad was signaled by all attacking forces to attack on time."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ping turned his attention to Huang Yuanqiang, the political commissar who had just taken office.

"Political commissar, I asked you to prepare the cart and manpower!"

"Ready!" Huang Yuanqiang replied very positively.

"Originally there were [-] carts, but after I heard that you were planning to rob the ranks of the little devils, I took the initiative and prepared another [-] carts!"

"Commander, you don't know, when the common people in the base area heard that we were raising carts to beat devils, and that we were giving food as a reward, they all rushed to follow us!"

Wang Ping explained: "That's because we helped the common people keep the food they had worked so hard for a year and regain the hearts of the people. Also, if we failed to fight the devils, the food they lost and regained would definitely be robbed by the devils again." Walk."

"Without food, it will be a problem for them to survive, so that's why they support us so much!"

"That's right, ordinary people have a steelyard in their hearts!" Huang Yuanqiang affirmed.

"I also heard that the four battalions are recruiting recruits at a good rate in their own garrisons. Each battalion has recruited a company of recruits, and there are still people asking to join our Eighth Route Army. With the support of the people, I believe that the current situation We will surely win the battle!"

Suddenly, the figure of the communications platoon leader appeared in Wang Ping's field of vision, rushing over excitedly and anxiously.

"The chief, and the head of the regiment, the team directly under the urgent call, it will take three hours, and the devil's army column will pass by us, and then we will be able to enter Linfen Railway Station in another hour and a half!"

Wang Ping didn't hesitate, and directly ordered: "Chief of Staff, order all troops to be in place and ready for battle!"

"Also, the headquarters is built here, and you can see the entire battlefield from a commanding height!"

"The political commissar, the supply company, and other units directly under the regiment headquarters are all under your command. As soon as the battle starts, you organize everyone to protect the carts and the people to move closer to the railway. After the battle is over, rush to transport supplies. Everything that can be moved Find a way to move away!"

"The two infantry companies of the attacking army column, as soon as the battle is over, quickly reinforce the two firepower companies of the blocking devil reinforcements."

"When will the political commissar evacuate the military columns, and when will the troops retreat!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, Major General Matsumoto, who had had dinner, did not rest, but stayed in the war room.

The military column transporting supplies was about to pass through the area occupied by the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Although there was a stronghold of the railway garrison there, Matsumoto was still very worried.

In his view, as long as the military column does not enter Linfen Railway Station, the weapons and ammunition on the military column are not his own.

On the contrary, the chief of staff should be much calmer.

"General, you don't have to worry too much. The military column will pass the section of the railway where the Eighth Route Army is based in one hour. If the Eighth Route Army wants to rob the military column, it must first take down our stronghold on the railway line. However, until now, There are still no signs of attack on these strongholds!"

"Also, the intelligence department also reported that the Eighth Route Army Xinyi Regiment has not transferred a single soldier from the four garrisons in Linfen in the past few days!"

"Without troops, even if our military column passes through their base, it will be very safe!"
