The Japanese army's sweep speed remained unchanged. It only advanced less than five kilometers in one day, occupying eight villages and towns in total.

The attack last night made all Japanese troops wary.

Tonight, a total of ten brigades of Japanese devils were particularly vigilant and began to arrange and strengthen the defense of the garrison when they arrived at the destination.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, five of the infantry brigades were once again attacked by the New Regiment.

"Teacher Commander, this is the situation after five of the infantry brigades were attacked: the Eighth Route Army's offensive was not very fierce, but more like a tentative attack!" The chief of staff stood next to the sand table and introduced carefully.

"What are they trying to do? Are they besieging the city to attack aid?" Lieutenant General Ito asked with a frown.

"It shouldn't be!" the Chief of Staff shook his head and replied.

"A infantry brigade that was attacked did not have much pressure and did not need support at all, so there was no need for support..."

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and ordered: "Since we don't know the reason, then we will wait until the opponent exposes their true purpose!"

"Give orders to all the troops on the front line, be sure to guard against the dead, try to avoid attacking, and repel the Japanese attack!"

The Chief of Staff nodded and supported: "Our opponent is too cunning. This kind of fight can indeed minimize the casualties of the troops, and will not reveal any defensive loopholes, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of!"

"I'll go and give orders right away!"

If it was the Japanese army from other places, an infantry brigade was attacked by a battalion of the Eighth Route Army. The first reaction was to take the initiative and then launch a counterattack to kill the battalion.

However, all the Japanese in Linfen were afraid of being beaten.

Moreover, the opponent Xinyi Gang is too cunning, and no one knows whether the attack they are seeing is a conspiracy. Whether Xinyi Gang hides more troops outside, just wait for them to come out, and then divide and surround the attacking troops and eliminate them bit by bit.

Two hours later, the quiet command center of Linfen City once again heard very rapid footsteps!

"The division commander, the Eighth Route Army dispatched five battalions of offensive troops. All of our remaining five sweeping troops were attacked, but the offensives of these Eighth Route Army were not very fierce!"

"What do they want to do?" Lieutenant General Ito's frown was frowning even deeper at this time.

Seeing his subordinates lowering his head and not speaking, Lieutenant General Ito frowned and analyzed: "According to information, there are a total of fifteen battalions in the new 10 battalions. Now ten battalions have been dispatched. Where are the remaining five battalions going?"

"Can't find them!" the Chief of Staff shook his head and replied.

"This large area was cleared by the Eighth Route Army. All the intelligence personnel lurking here were transferred to the hinterland of their base. Except for the intelligence and air reconnaissance sent back by the reconnaissance forces, there was no other source of intelligence!"

"However, Bei Zhi has a judgment. Will the Eighth Route Army, which has the remaining five battalions, be behind!"

"They suddenly had hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the rear, and there were a large number of places that needed to defend against other directions to launch an attack on their base areas!"

"This is possible!" Lieutenant General Ito frowned, and he couldn't make a particularly accurate judgment.

Pointing to the map, he analyzed: "If these places do not arrange troops, our troops will take advantage of the opportunity to enter the hinterland of their base. There is no need for too many troops, as long as there is an infantry brigade, it can bring devastating blows to the new regiment!"

"Order all garrisons on the front line to fight back tentatively!"

"If there are only ten battalions of the Eighth Route Army on the front line, we have twelve brigades of the Imperial Army and thousands of Imperial Army troops, and we have the advantage in terms of military strength and firepower. There is no problem with one brigade fighting against one battalion on the battlefield!"

He was the first unit to be attacked at the base of the Fifth Battalion of the Japanese Army.

The gunshots and explosions have been ringing in Miyamoto's ears for more than two hours.

The Eighth Route Army outside the garrison seemed to be tireless and attacked every ten minutes.

Although there are not many troops attacking, there is only one infantry platoon at a time, and there are only two or three heavy weapons, one heavy machine gun, two or three grenade cans, sometimes there are mortars, and sometimes there are not even mortars.

Such an offensive basically won't put pressure on you, but Major Miyamoto was unable to defend himself.

The opponent is too cunning, and the entire battle can have a fixed direction from the beginning.

The last round of attack was just repelled here, but the next round of attack suddenly ran a hundred meters away, causing panic in the entire Imperial Army at the garrison, tense and unable to rest.

"Sir, you can't continue like this. Although the casualties of the troops are minimal, they cannot kill and hurt many Eighth Route Army. More importantly, the troops cannot rest. Continuing such a battle will be a very huge test for the soldiers' physical strength and morale!" The adjutant next to Major Miyamoto couldn't help but remind.

"And we don't carry much ammunition with us. The superiors gave us the order to defend ourselves. Now it's night. As long as there is a little movement outside, we will use machine guns to strafuse them and bomb them with shells. According to the consumption rate of this ammunition, our ammunition will be exhausted at most three nights!"

"If there is really only one battalion of the Eighth Route Army outside, I suggest we take the initiative!"

"Even if you can't kill them or hurt them severely, you must defeat them and end the battle in front of you as soon as possible."

Major Miyamoto also wanted to attack. As a field army officer, he has always been suppressing the Chinese army to attack, and he has never been as frustrated as before.

In order to avoid being deceived, they were blocked by a battalion of the Eighth Route Army and were passively beaten.

However, he had to implement the orders from the division command, and the Eighth Route Army outside the garrison was indeed too cunning, and the attacking troops might not be able to come back if they went out.

Just when Major Miyamoto looked embarrassed, the communication soldier rushed over.

"Sir, the division commander is in urgent need of the telegram!"

Major Miyamoto received the telegram and began to browse. After a few seconds, his frowning brows stretched out.

"Ten battalions, the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has dispatched ten battalions tonight. Apart from a few battalions left behind, the Eighth Route Army on the front line has no other troops."

The adjutant next to him was also excited: "That is to say, there is only one battalion of Eighth Route Army around us, and we can attack!"

"Yes, the division command also means this. Let us decide on the counterattack, conduct appropriate counterattacks, and repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army..." Major Miyamoto affirmed.

Then he ordered with excitement on his face: "Adminton, gather a strengthening squadron's troops immediately and prepare to attack!"
