Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 834 Major General Kawaguchi's Scheming (Third!)

The deputy chief of staff is going to the Xinyi Regiment, and as the immediate superior of the Xinyi Regiment, Commander Chen must also follow him.

Just as he was about to set off, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters suddenly rushed over, stopped Commander Chen and reported, "Commander, this is an urgent message from Linfen County. Fen County!"

"Xinyituan is too dangerous now, you can't go there!"

It doesn't matter to me, but the safety of the deputy chief of staff must not be a problem.This was the first thought that suddenly sold out in Commander Chen's mind.

Then he frowned and asked: "How many troops does the devil plan to dispatch!"

"The troops confronting the new regiment on the front line do not move. A main regiment withdrawn from the front line, plus two new brigades, a mountain artillery brigade, a cavalry brigade, a field artillery squadron, and three other regiments. The puppet army has a total strength of nearly 9000 people!"

"Xiangfen County is definitely out of control!" Commander Chen's face suddenly became serious.

Then he stared at the deputy chief of staff and suggested: "Chief of staff, you also heard that the Nine Thousand Japanese Puppet Army attacked the Xinyi Regiment, and the Xinyi Regiment will definitely have a fierce battle to fight. My thoughts are the same as that of Deputy Yang. Like the Chief of Staff, it's too dangerous for you to risk going there!"

"As for the medicines that are in short supply for other troops, I will send the guard battalion directly."

"Wang Ping is also an old comrade, and he will definitely hand over the medicine and gold to the guard battalion to bring them back!"

The deputy chief of staff frowned involuntarily.

In his opinion, the Nine Thousand Japanese Puppet Army was going to deal with Wang Ping's regiment. In his opinion, it was absolutely killing chickens with a sledgehammer, and the new regiment had no possibility of winning.

But within a few seconds he made a decision: "Go, definitely go!"

"Because there was a bad battle there, we are going there. Maybe we can help you. Also, you have to go too. I remember that the Taiyue Military Region has just formed a brigade directly under it. Take this brigade with you. Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!”

Commander Chen immediately realized that there was something in the deputy chief of staff's words, and followed up with questions.

"Chief of Staff, are you worried?"

The deputy chief of staff replied after thinking about it: "A small Xiangfen County is not worth sending out [-] elites at once!"

"If I'm not wrong, the little devil's capture of Xiangfen County is only the first step in their dispatch of troops. As for the next move, because there is no intelligence support, it is hard to judge. However, the little devil's attack tomorrow is absolutely impossible. It's as simple as we imagined!"

It was already eight o'clock in the evening at the headquarters of the Japanese Army Brigade in Linfen City, but the headquarters was still very lively and there was no intention of quieting down.

In the heavily guarded conference room, more than a dozen officers, big and small, were excited, looking forward to, and worried... sitting around the conference table with different expressions, waiting for the brigade commander, Major General Kawaguchi, to give an order.

"Everyone, I have decided that at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, I will send troops to the base of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to take back Xiangfen County!"

"The chief of staff has read the battle plan to everyone just now. I hope everyone will work hard with me to fight my first battle well after becoming brigade commander!"

"There is one more thing I hope everyone will be prepared for, but the news should not be leaked out in advance!"

"After taking Xiangfen County, we will not retreat. Instead, we will continue to attack, divide our troops into three groups, and directly attack the remaining three battalions of the Xinyi Regiment. At that time, the two brigades of our remaining troops will Launch an attack directly from the occupied area to the Eighth Route Army's defense line, support us, attack back and forth, and kill the new regiment in one fell swoop!"

"Everyone should have seen that I did not notify the three heads of the Royal Association Army for this meeting. According to the regulations, they are fully qualified, but their mouths are too loose. Any news will reach their ears. It will take less than two days. It will be leaked. Therefore, before taking Xiangfen County, no one can reveal the real purpose of our attack. I will use Xiangfen County to consume the strength of the Eighth Route Army Xinyi Regiment as much as possible. I will consume them almost From now on, we will directly divide our troops into three groups to raid their bases, and kill them when they are weakest!"

The chief of staff then stood up and added: "Everyone must strictly implement the order of the brigade commander, otherwise the military law will be followed!"

After saying that, he took a special look at a few old subordinates, and then continued: "Tonight, the logistics department will replenish the combat supplies for ten days. If the battle cannot be over after ten days, the logistics department will send supplies to everyone Supplies, please prepare to receive them!"

At the headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment in Sanquan Town, Wang Ping also received news that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to attack on a large scale.

The [-]-day puppet army came to attack one of our reinforced regiments, including artillery, cavalry, and aircraft... When Wang Ping first heard the news, he was really frightened.

However, thinking of the three-dimensional fortifications he had prepared for the devils, Wang Ping regained some confidence.

However, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang and chief of staff Zhong Chenggong didn't know the power of the three-dimensional defense.

From the moment they heard the news, the two of them frowned, staring at the combat sand table in the middle of the war room over and over again, thinking about solutions.

"Commander, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is too strong. If the troops fight against them, it is not training at all, but death. Therefore, I suggest abandoning the original combat plan for training and changing the defense to mobile warfare and guerrilla warfare, leaving only small troops Crack down on the devils, all the main force will retreat, and give up Xiangfen County!" The political commissar frowned and expressed his thoughts.

He has always cooperated with him in military command, and this is the first time he has made such a firm suggestion to himself.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong followed closely and added: "I also agree with the political commissar's opinion!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops are too strong, and this battle will end without fighting!"

"Instead of wasting the troops on the frontal battlefield, it's better to fight guerrilla warfare with the devils, fight mobile warfare, and turn them into trenches!"

The expression on Wang Ping's face didn't move at all. He looked at the telegram in his hand for a while, and looked at the sand table for a while.

It took a full 5 minutes to speak, and the words were astonishing: "The original battle plan remains unchanged!"

"Regime leader, think twice..." Before Wang Ping could continue, the political commissar hurriedly reminded him.

"You have forgotten how we failed in the fifth anti-encirclement campaign in the Soviet area. The enemy is too strong, and passive defense is a battle of attrition for both the enemy and us. In the end, the devil must finish our trenches first!"

"After all, our strength is less than half of that of the Japanese and puppet troops... and at that point, we have no chance of turning the tables!"

"I am also firmly opposed to sticking to the ground and fighting with the devil's attacking troops!"

At this time, Wang Ping could choose to use the power of the head of the regiment to dictate the world, but he didn't!
Although he was full of confidence in the three-dimensional fortification group he had prepared, the two old partners didn't know.If you rashly judge the world, it will definitely be very detrimental to the next cooperation.

The enemy is present, and the enemy has not been eliminated, and there must be no chaos within oneself!
