Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 940 Crazy Decision (First Update!)

"Regimental Commander, the devils have returned to aid. Two infantry brigades, one cavalry brigade, and one field artillery squadron, with a total strength of nearly 3000 people, are all drawn from the Central Route Army!" Tang Guangxin, the investigation company commander, reported as soon as he rushed into the front enemy headquarters Dao with a look of excitement!
"The head of the Guizi division is indeed a lieutenant general who has fought for more than ten years. He is cautious, decisive, and has a big picture..." Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Words of praise.

"And very cunning!" The political commissar next to him added.

"Nearly [-] troops were drawn at one time. He just didn't draw people from the left and right sweeping troops, but all from the powerful central army. In this way, although the number of guards around him was much smaller, the team that encircled and suppressed us Zhang Dawang is still unbreakable, there are no loopholes for us to exploit!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong said: "And our actions tonight, the pressure on all sides has not eased at all!"

"Not afraid!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

"The action tonight, I never thought that the devil would mobilize troops..."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ping walked to the side of the map and asked: "Chief of Staff, the devils will be able to march outside Xiangfen City at noon today. Our troops are all in place!"

Zhong Chenggong did not answer right away, but confirmed again: "Commander, are you really planning to defend the city?"

"Originally I planned to fight street fighting with the little devil, but street fighting was used when guarding Linfen, and it also caused the devil a big loss. I am sure that if street fighting is used again this time, the devil will not be fooled. So I decided to directly Defend the city!" Wang Ping did not hide his thoughts.

"So many devils have entered our base area, and they will take the initiative to end this siege campaign only after they have been exhausted!"

"Also, the devils came all the way, and the damage to our base area was too great. Many villages were burned to ashes by them. Therefore, this anti-encirclement campaign must end as soon as possible to force the devils to leave our base area. No accidents, The decisive battle tonight and the battle to defend the city this afternoon are the turning points in this anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. After the battle is done, the little devils will obediently retreat at dawn tomorrow!"

Thinking of the leader's decision to fight the devil head-on in Xiangfen City, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was also worried, but he finally chose to support it.

The head of the regiment insisted on winning the street battle in Linfen, and finally won.

Now that Wang Ping insisted so resolutely, although Huang Yuanqiang was hesitant and worried, he finally chose to support the leader.

Previously, Wang Ping hadn't revealed to everyone how to defend the city, but now that the devils were about to kill them, there was definitely no need to continue to hide it.And I need Wang Ping to come up with more reasons and ideas to increase confidence in this battle, he hesitated and reminded.

"But the devils have heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and planes to support them. If you fight them head-on in broad daylight, don't let the tiger's teeth be pulled out, and you will be eaten by the tiger instead!"

"The devils have not encountered our main force after fighting for so long. They must hope that we will defend the city and fight them decisively!"

Wang Ping quickly explained: "Political Commissar, the threats you mentioned all exist, and they are all the devil's fatal advantage against us."

"But don't forget, whether we are fighting the devils during the day or at night, or we are good at night and mobile warfare, we have to face their advantages."

"Sports warfare, night battles, if we want to consume the devils and make them feel pain, we must take the initiative to attack. Compared with active attack, defending the city may bring us less casualties, but the losses to the devils will be greater !"

"Our casualties are small, and the losses of the devils are great. This is a key reason why I decided to defend the city here!"

Huang Yuanqiang nodded in agreement, but after a few seconds he found another problem.

"Captain, I'm definitely the same as you in the same situation, and I'm more inclined to defend the city! As long as there are strong enough fortifications and sufficient ammunition reserves, the defense battle can definitely cause very heavy casualties to the opponent, and even directly It is possible to force the opponent to retreat!"

"However, our next battle to defend the city will be fought during the day, and the devils will definitely dispatch planes to attack us from the air!"

"If it is to defend the city at night, I have the confidence to fight head-on with the devils!"

A smile flashed across Wang Ping's face, and he replied, "I also want to fight at night, but the crux of the problem is that the devils are afraid of our night fights, and it is impossible for them to move out at night, let alone attack us on their own initiative!"

Then he changed the subject, and then added: "As for the problem of the planes used to fight the little devils during the day... Political commissar, don't worry, I already have a solution!"

Seeing that the head of the group spoke so confidently, Huang Yuanqiang could only let go of his inner worries and gritted his teeth to answer.

"In that case, Captain, I will go crazy with you this afternoon~"

Watching the conversation between the two, Zhong Chenggong showed a stunned expression, and then exclaimed.

"Leader, political commissar...you are all crazy..."

During the morning march, the troops did not encounter any surprise attacks, and Lieutenant General Ito did not even hear a single gunshot.

Almost all the senior officers of the Devils in the Central Route Army believed that the imperial army was outside Xiangfen City with tanks and heavy artillery.

"Division Commander, although the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is very strong, it never fights tough battles with the imperial army face to face, and in order to avoid the attack of our planes, it basically does not fight with us during the day. We will be able to reach the outside of Xiangfen City in one hour. The time is exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, and the Eighth Route Army would definitely not choose to fight us at this time."

"Judging by the humble staff, Xiangfen County must be an empty city right now, just waiting for us to occupy it."

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied, "Not necessarily!"

"Have you forgotten the experience of Linfen City? We also thought that Linfen City was an empty city. But in the end, the Eighth Route Army lurked a large number of elite troops in the city. It killed a brigade of our troops in one battle, which was much bigger than us launching a single battle on the frontal battlefield." Large-scale encirclement and suppression will cause even greater losses!"

"Xiangfen City is very small, and there is not a large enough area for street fighting. Therefore, the possibility of the Eighth Route Army using Xiangfen City to fight us in street fighting is very small. However, I always feel that it is impossible for the Xinyi Regiment to hand over Xiangfen City so easily. In our hands. We will definitely have a fierce battle in Xiangfen City!"

"Papa papa... da da da..."

The troops walked forward for another half an hour, and when they could already see the city wall of Xiangfen City with the binoculars, a series of gunshots suddenly came from the forward troops.

"Sir, the forward troops report that they encountered the Eighth Route Army blocking troops outside Xiangfen City..."

"They are organizing troops to attack in order to test the opponent's strength and equipment!"

"The new regiment is crazy... They really plan to fight us head-on in broad daylight to defend the city?" The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed with an incredulous expression on his face.

Lieutenant General Ito calmed down a lot, and directly ordered: "The troops speed up and rush to the battlefield as soon as possible... Regardless of whether there is an Eighth Route Army in Xiangfen, we must take Xiangfen before dark and spend the night in the city!"
