Linfen City Japanese Army Division Command.

A communications officer immediately reported that he had just put down the phone: "The division commander, the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army, reported that a large number of Eighth Route Army reconnaissance units appeared around their garrison. They were worried about the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy and asked the Third Battalion not to go over and retreat directly, and they retreated by themselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications officer rushed in: "Sir, the Third Battalion urgently called, they were harassed and attacked by small troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"The opponent's troops are very scattered. If you fight, you will run away. The air force cannot attack them!"

"Teacher Commander: The Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Army reported that a large number of Eighth Route Army reconnaissance units appeared around the garrison!" The communications officer who had just left rushed in again.

"The Second Imperial Army Battalion was urgently powered, and they were also harassed and attacked by small units of the Eighth Route Army~"

The Chief of Staff showed a shocked expression on his face, and then replied: "Second Commander, the Eighth Route Army's reaction was too fast!"

Seeing Lieutenant General Fujino's face calmly, the Chief of Staff followed and added: "Also, a large number of scouts were active near the garrison of the Fifth and Fourth Regiments of the Imperial Army, and the three brigades of the Imperial Army were also attacked and harassed. Will there be any conspiracy in this?"

"Will the New First Regiment want to engage in a major battle around the two Imperial Army regiments!"

"There must be a conspiracy!" Lieutenant General Fujino finally spoke!

"The two or three imperial brigades of the Imperial Army will need two to three hours to arrive at the Imperial Army's garrison, meet with them, and retreat together!"

"There are small Eighth Route Army troops harassing and sneak attacks along the way, and the marching time will be increased by at least one hour!"

"If they find a way to hold us for two or three hours at the two regiment stations, it will be dark!"

"The two brigades suffered heavy losses last night when they had perfect fortifications. If they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in this area without fortifications, it only takes one night for the Eighth Route Army to kill them!"

Speaking of this, Fujino couldn't help but sigh.

"The new regiment has such a big appetite! Not only do I want to occupy this occupied area, but I also want to eat all the imperial army and imperial assistant troops in this occupied area!"

The chief of staff next to him immediately suggested: "I suggest that the two brigades should not meet and retreat directly under the cover of the air force!"

"The life of the Imperial Army is more valuable than the life of the Imperial Army. As long as the three brigades of the Imperial Army are safe and sound, they will be successfully retreated. If the Imperial Army loses, they will be lost. As long as we have guns and food in our hands, we can form at any time!"

"Yes, Chief of Staff, you have a good awareness!" Lieutenant General Fujino was very satisfied with the Chief of Staff's answer.

"As long as the Imperial Army is saved, nothing else is a problem... Now for us, the most important thing is the army, and the Imperial Army!"

"Give an order immediately: "Let them stop meeting and march and retreat to their destination directly under the cover of the air force!"

"Also, order the Fourth and Fifth Regiments of the Imperial Army to disperse their attacks in battalions and find the main force of the Eighth Route Army that was active around them. Contact the air force and kill them!"

The Chief of Staff suddenly realized his mind and replied: "I understand, division commander, you want to use these Imperial Army troops to distract the Eighth Route Army's forces and attention!"

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Fujino affirmed.

"They were formed by the Imperial Army for a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food. Even if they do not form combat power and are about to be killed by the Eighth Route Army, they must play a role before they are killed. Otherwise, the efforts the Imperial Army spent on these two regiments will be wasted!"

"I'll give orders now!" The Chief of Staff's eyes lit up and he quickly answered.

As a middle and senior Japanese officer, he looked down on the Imperial Army from the bottom of his heart. As long as it can bring benefits to the Imperial Army, even if they know that these Imperial Army are going to die, they will not feel heartbroken.

Soon, the Chief of Staff came back: "The division commander, the order has been issued. We have reported that the two Imperial Army teams placed in the Imperial Army will definitely supervise the Imperial Army and fight to the end with the Eighth Route Army. However, I hope we will drop some ammunition on them, mainly piercing machine gun bullets and grenades!"

"Give them!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied.

"With the Imperial Army's supervision of the battle, even if these Imperial Army have no combat effectiveness, they can still kill a lot of Eighth Route Army!"

"But, the ammunition given to them should not be too much. If it is too much, it will be cheaper in the end. Each regiment will drop 50,000 machine gun bullets and 2,000 grenades to them, which is enough for them to fight a war!"

"The division commander is wise, let's make arrangements for the humble position now!" said the chief of staff with admiration.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after the last cruise plane of the Japanese returned, all the Eighth Route Army hidden everywhere emerged. Many people were preparing to show their skills and deal with the Japanese tonight to avenge their comrades who were killed by Japanese planes during the day.

However, the three brigades of Japanese soldiers had already run dozens of kilometers away, and even if they wanted to take revenge, they had no goal.

"The regiment commander, followed the investigation company report of the three infantry brigades of the Japanese, and the Japanese in the three brigades retreated to these three points respectively. The Japanese had already moved the Imperial Army and the common people, built a complete set of fortifications at these three points in advance. The Japanese entered the position as soon as they arrived..."

"Give up the occupied area where we are, concentrate our troops to defend Linfen, and plan a counterattack in the future. This is the purpose of the Japanese retreat in the afternoon!" Wang Ping stared at the map and analyzed seriously.

"The devils kill two birds with one stone!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong analyzed.

"Although this occupied area was lost, their troops were saved!"

"More importantly, they have more troops to defend Linfen to prevent us from infiltration into Linfen..."

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "We have benefits too. If we take down this occupied area, all the bases of our new regiment will be even one. In addition, Linfen City will also become an isolated city. If the Japanese in the city want to obtain food and ammunition supplies, they must ask whether we agree or not!"

"Order, the main force, the fourth battalion, the fourth battalion, and the fourth battalion will be held overnight to take down villages and towns on Lijia Town, Zhouzhuang, and Liangtian, and form a confrontation with the troops withdrawn by the Japanese in the afternoon. If we don't attack them, they won't even think about returning to the occupied area!"

"The lost soldiers of the three battalions will directly recruit soldiers, weapons and food on the spot, and will be drawn from this seizure!"

"Appointed Zhou Xutian as the acting battalion commander of the main 7th battalion of the new 1st regiment, and the Fifth regiment of the Imperial Army was directly adapted into the Seventh battalion. The heavy machine gun company, artillery company, mountain artillery company that the troops lacked, will make up for you in the future!"

"The Fourth Regiment of the Imperial Army was reorganized into the new Seventh Battalion, Huang Cheng temporarily acted as the battalion commander. The two nearby operation teams were organized into the independent Seventh Battalion, and Xie Fucheng temporarily acted as the battalion commander. The Chief of Staff stayed to be responsible for the reorganization of the three battalions. After the reorganization was completed, he divided his troops to station in the surrounding villages and towns for training. As the reserve force of the Fourth Battalion, the newly formed Fourth Battalion, and the independent Fourth Battalion, protect the base area we just captured!"

Linfen City Japanese Army Division Command, at twelve o'clock in the evening, was still very busy and no one was resting!

Looking at Fujino, who had not had a rest for a long time, had a tired face and his eyes turned red, the Chief of Staff hesitated for a long time without speaking.

"Are the two regiments of the Imperial Army killed by the Eighth Route Army?" Fujino asked after seeing the embarrassment on the face of the Chief of Staff.

"Hi!" Fujino, who had been embarrassed for a few seconds, quickly answered.

"We have lost contact with both regiments, and the entire army will definitely be destroyed!"

"They have fought very well if they can hold on for so long. If they are gone, they will be gone. Chief of Staff, you are responsible for reorganizing the Fourth and Fifth Regiments of the Imperial Army!" Lieutenant General Fujino comforted himself.

The Chief of Staff quickly replied: "I will issue an order tomorrow to reorganize these two regiments!"
