In less than twenty minutes, the Chief of Staff came back.

The Chief of Staff, who returned to the war room, looked even worse than before.

"Secretary Commander, something really happened~"

"The Sixth Brigade called back, and there was no news for one of the reinforcement squadrons that reinforced them. They should have climbed up now even if they climbed five kilometers away. But so far, they have no news yet. There is only one possibility that they were killed by the Eighth Route Army who touched our rear!"

"In addition, the third, fourth and eighth third infantry brigades also sent telegrams: the Imperial Army that reinforced them was attacked by the Eighth Route Army on the road, and they could only clearly hear the sound of guns and cannons in battle. After the battle, they did not see the reinforcements coming. If nothing unexpected happened, these reinforcements were also killed by the Eighth Route Army!"

"It's over~" Lieutenant General Ito felt despair again, almost exactly the same as he felt a year ago.

At this time, the chief of staff next to him frowned and asked, "Teacher Commander, I don't understand the quilt. Since they heard the sound of gunfires being attacked by the reinforcements, and they were very close to them, why didn't these brigades send troops to reinforce them!"

"It's right not to reinforce!" Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied.

"If you stick to the garrison, they can hold on until dawn with the minimum casualties. But it will be different to send troops to attack. Maybe not only will they not be able to rescue the reinforcements, but the sent troops will also be destroyed under the siege of the Eighth Route Army, and even affect the defense of the garrison!"

"Contact all reinforcements that can be contacted immediately, stop the reinforcements front line, and immediately retreat to the villages and towns closest to them, and stay in the support until dawn!"

"Order all the captains of the front line to stand firm and wait for assistance until dawn. Unless there is an emergency and deny it, no force will take the initiative to attack!"

After the Chief of Staff returned to the war room, Lieutenant General Ito's face could no longer see the decadence and despair he had just now.

Staring at the Chief of Staff, he analyzed: "There are ten battalions of the Eighth Route Army on the front line attacking us! In order to put some pressure on our front line sweeping troops, the troops of these ten battalions will definitely not be able to move. This means that there are other people in the Eighth Route Army who killed our reinforcements!"

"The troops of the remaining five battalions of the New First Regiment are here!" The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and made a judgment.

"Eighty-mostly this is the case!" Lieutenant General Ito affirmed.

Then he analyzed: "In this way, the rear of the base of the Eighth Route Army's new first regiment will be empty. Except for guerrillas and a small number of local troops, there are almost no main troops!"

"Chief of Staff, how many troops do we have on this line!"

"There are five garrison brigades and one mobile brigade, with a total force of more than 5,000. In addition, there are five regiments of the Imperial Army. However, these five regiments are not as full as the organization, and each regiment has only seven or eight hundred people!" The Chief of Staff replied.

"According to the orders of the Front Army, in order to better command the troops to kill the new regiment, the Imperial Army and Imperial Army troops here are also under your command of the division commander!"

"Five thousand imperial troops!" Lieutenant General Ito slowly smiled in despair.

Then the order was ordered: "Since there is no main force in the hinterland of the New Regiment base, we will seize the opportunity and directly attack the hinterland of their base, and make a big fuss in the hinterland of their base, destroying their command system. At least we will also destroy their base~"

"Order the front line, leaving a garrison squadron and all Imperial Army troops in each county. The Imperial Army's combat effectiveness on the field battlefield is almost zero. However, letting them defend, especially under the supervision of the Imperial Army, still have a certain combat effectiveness!"

"Apart from the left-behind troops, other troops will immediately dispatch and launch an attack on the new regiment base!"

The Chief of Staff was excited and interrogated: "Second Commander, there is another benefit to doing this!"

"When the hinterland of the base is attacked, the troops arranged by the Eighth Route Army on the front line will definitely return to aid. At that time, the pressure on our front line troops will be much less, and maybe we can find opportunities to kill several of their main battalions!"

"This is certain!" Lieutenant General Ito affirmed.

"Go and issue an order immediately. At the same time, send all intelligence personnel to watch the every move of all Eighth Route Army troops on the front line. If there is any situation, report it immediately!"

"The front line sweeping troops will continue tomorrow during the day~"

"The two brigades combined to sweep the troops along the way, and after dawn, they will merge according to their remaining forces. In the next sweep, each unit does not need to be cautious or cautious, and cannot give the enemy any opportunity to take advantage of!"

The new first regiment forward enemy command.

When Zhong Chenggong walked in, he reported excitedly: "Captain, another Japanese reinforcement squadron has been wiped out by us!"

"In addition, there are already five reinforced squadrons, and there are more Japanese devils in one infantry brigade!"

Wang Ping was in a very good mood: "War well... After the battle tonight, the strength of the entire front-line Japanese will be weaker than that of us. If they do not plan to withdraw their troops, as long as we are willing, they can watch them anytime and anywhere!"

"How are those operation teams that touched the Japanese's belly? Is there any news about them? After so long, the main force has achieved great results. Let's see them next!"

"It should be good!" Zhong Chenggong said affirmatively.

"Xiong Changhe reported: In the battle where they took down the Fifth Battalion of the Japanese Army, there was almost no reserve of ammunition except for the weapons and ammunition equipped by the Japanese. This means that the Japanese have not received any supplies for so long!"

"This is obviously impossible. There is only one possibility. The supply and ammunition sent to them by Linfen City was intercepted by our operation team halfway!"

"It's good if there are results!" Wang Ping affirmed.

"As long as they fight the Japanese, they will gain something. With the Japanese, they will have enough weapons and ammunition to expand their troops, and then continue to fight with the Japanese!"

"Chief of Staff, disperse all the investigation company for me. Apart from the investigation and platoons of each battalion, our regiment headquarters must always grasp the movements of the remaining Japanese and puppet troops. If possible, it is best to find out their remaining troops and equipment!"

After dawn, Wang Ping, who walked outside the command center, was not sleepy at all and was in a very good mood.

He didn't expect that his inadvertent preparation would bring him such a great gain.

As expected, this battle tonight was a key turning point in the entire counter-sweeping campaign. After tonight, the new regiment could turn the defense into offense and attack the Japanese out of the base.

At the command of the Japanese division in Linfen City, Lieutenant General Ito was in a very bad mood. He had been staring at the map with a calm face for almost ten minutes, but he still didn't say a word.

The chief of staff stood by the side for several minutes, hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and reporting: "The division commander, the report telegrams from several other infantry brigades have also arrived!"

"The battle on the front line has stopped. Before dawn, all the Eighth Route Army retreated! Moreover, the air force that provided air support has arrived at the battlefield and is searching for the retreating Eighth Route Army, hoping to find them and kill them!"

Lieutenant General Ito finally responded and shook his head and ordered: "Don't waste your energy on the air force. Since the Eighth Route Army has retreated, they will definitely not be able to find them. With this skill, it is better to directly kill to the hinterland of their base and bomb suspicious targets!"

"Yes, just do it this way. According to the intelligence sent by the intelligence department, bomb all important targets in the New Regiment base. Tell the Chinese that even if they retreat to the hinterland of the New Regiment base, the Imperial Army can still take their lives!"
