Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 931 The Leader's Problem (Second Update!)

Three days later, more than 2 devils finally arrived at the camp of the new regiment.

"Division Commander, the entire garrison is empty, not even a bullet or a grain of food left!" The head of the vanguard unit who entered the camp ahead of time reported with a sullen face.

The troops fought hard and were harassed by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas along the way. Not to mention the loss of hundreds of imperial troops, almost everyone in the remaining troops had a pair of dark circles under their eyes and was very tired.It was hard to kill the target, but it was all in vain, not even a single Eighth Route Army found it, and everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Lieutenant General Ito had already guessed this result, and his face looked much better.

He replied with a calm face: "The Eighth Route Army is not a fool ~ we have so many people killed here, if we don't run away, why don't we stay here and wait to die!"

"We will rest here tonight. We will rest for a day tomorrow. The day after tomorrow we will start our official operations. With this as the center, the troops will be divided into three and sweep the entire Eighth Route Army base area. If the Eighth Route Army wants to run, let them shoot. If you don’t want to fight us, you have to fight!”

In Xiangfen County, dozens of kilometers away, the former enemy headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed in both excitedly and solemnly.

"Regimental Commander, the devils have divided their troops, and the real siege has begun!" Seeing Wang Pingzhong's success, he hurriedly reported. "Same as the information we received a few days ago, the devils divide their troops into units. Each infantry regiment is a sweeping troop, and the middle sweeping troop has the largest number of troops. Except for one infantry regiment with nearly 4000 people, there are also The division guards, cavalry with more than 2000 troops, a field artillery brigade, a heavy mountain artillery brigade, and a chariot brigade, with a total strength of nearly 9000 people, came directly to Xiangfen County, where we are located!"

"The other two groups of devils only have an infantry regiment, a field artillery brigade, and a heavy mountain artillery brigade, with a total strength of more than 5000 people!"

"Even so, these two groups of little devils are huge to us. Our Xinyi regiment and any of the devil's encirclement and suppression forces collide head-on, and there is no possibility of winning!"

"In addition, these three groups of devils are attacking each other at intervals, distributed in a semicircle, sweeping across our base area from south to north, intending to drive us bit by bit to the north of Linfen, and then force us to fight decisively, gather together and rape them .Or directly force us out of the base area, of course, this possibility is very low..."

After staring at the map for 5 minutes, Wang Ping frowned and asked, "Are there any troops left behind in the defense area of ​​the first battalion~"

"Yes, the strength of an entire infantry brigade~" Zhong Chenggong affirmed.

"We have transferred so many troops along the way. The devils must know that even where they have swept, there will be our left behind troops and local guerrillas. Therefore, a special infantry brigade was dispatched to deal with our left behind troops, and at the same time, to ensure their logistics Wire!)"

"Where is the first battalion? Where is Xiong Changhe now?" Wang Ping stared at the map and continued to ask.

"Here..." Zhong Chenggong pointed to a point in the third battalion defense zone on the map and replied.

"Although the devils are only divided into three groups, separated by 20 meters from each other. However, each group of troops is divided into three groups, and each group is only separated by five or six kilometers. They cooperate with each other and support each other. Every village must enter and a town must Stop, just like a comb, comb our bases again."

"The first battalion and the new first battalion have nearly 2000 people, and they are equipped with a lot of heavy weapons. It is impossible to escape the little devil's encirclement and suppression troops. But they don't have the strength to fight recklessly with the devil's encirclement and suppression troops, so they can only be driven all the way to the third battalion. Zone!"

Wang Ping quickly shot two bright lights out of his eyes, and then ordered: "Contact Xiong Changhe immediately, I don't care what method he uses, whether it's a split-up attack, or just fight there, tonight, break through the little devil's encirclement, Jump on the back of the little devils to attack their remaining troops and destroy their logistics line!"

"The devil's entire encirclement and suppression plan is too thorough. They must be distracted and messed up. Only in this way can we have a chance!"

"Also, order all the garrison troops and guerrillas in the military sub-district to organize the common people to fortify the walls and clear the fields. While fighting the devils with guerrilla warfare, completely destroy the road that the little devils must take!"

"The devil's three-way mopping-up troops all brought heavy artillery, so they could only take the road. If we destroy the road, we can force them to divide their troops, or at least slow down their speed of encircling and suppressing us!"

"Order, the third battalion, the fourth battalion, and the second battalion, leaving the new main battalion to cooperate with the local guerrillas and garrison troops and the devil's encirclement and suppression troops to fight guerrillas, all other troops will be transferred to the regiment headquarters. Since the little devils do not divide their troops, I will fight A big battle~”

"Order, Artillery Battalion, Armored Battalion, Cavalry Battalion, Air Defense Battalion, all complete training and prepare for battle!"

In the first camp, the joy of winning a battle by the river a few days ago has been completely overwhelmed by the frustration and helplessness of the past few days.

The devil was too cautious, and Xiong Changhe was full of energy, morale was high, and he attacked with confidence for several days in a row.

However, the final result, without exception, all returned in vain.

Especially last night, the sneak attack on the devils failed, and half of the infantry company was blown up by the counterattack fire fired by the devils, losing his wife and losing his troops...

Watching the devils come all the way and drive him out of the defense zone, everyone in the battalion was filled with anger and had no place to vent.

"The battalion commander... the regimental commander's urgent call is an order for us!" Suddenly, the communication squad leader rushed in and hurriedly reported.

Xiong Changhe snatched the telegram.

After reading the telegram, not only did he not have any excited expression on his face, but he looked helpless.

"Head, this is a big problem for me!" Xiong Changhe said helplessly after handing the telegram to the trainer.

After reading the telegram, Liang Cheng frowned directly.

But he still answered firmly: "No matter how difficult it is, we must implement it. This is an order from the regiment headquarters. It must be related to the overall situation of the regiment headquarters' entire anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. The difficulties of our first battalion must not affect the overall situation!"

Jiang Chao, the commander of the new first battalion, also had a very bad face, and answered with a puzzled face: "The devil's blockade is too strict, and we have so many people and heavy weapons. It's almost impossible to pass through their blockade." It's even harder!"

"This is the information just sent back by the reconnaissance platoon. The situation is similar to what we imagined during the day. The devils use infantry brigades as units, separated by about five kilometers from each other, and stationed on all the high grounds on the front line of Xiongcun. They blocked the roads along the line. For some places with difficult terrain, they also specially dispatched infantry squads, relying on heavy machine guns and mortars to guard where they are, as long as we pass by, no matter where we go, we will not be able to hide from their eyes!"

"Is it possible to call over~" Liang Cheng asked back, frowning.

Jiang Chao shook his head and replied: "It's very difficult. The best breakthrough points are those places where there are only a few devil infantry defending. It is not a problem to take down these little devils...but it is a big problem for the devils to reinforce the troops!"

"Not to mention anything else, the artillery shells fired by the devils from a long distance can cause a lot of damage to us, not to mention that they can kill us in 10 minutes, and then surround our reinforcements!"

"I'm sure, not only are the little devils not worried about us attacking them, but they expect us to attack them. Then they can fight us and kill us!"
