Early the next morning, the new bun became famous!

The newspapers and radio stations all promote the news that the New First Regiment took down Xiangfen County after a bloody battle and wiped out two thousand Japanese and puppet troops.

Because it is a fact, the radio station controlled by the Japanese are not easy to refute, which means that the Japanese admit that Xiangfen County was returned by the Eighth Route Army.

Many people were celebrating this victory, but the North China Front Command was covered with clouds and the atmosphere was very solemn.

The news and clear telegram from Chongqing directly alarmed the front army's immediate superior.

Faced with this news that weakened the morale of the imperial army and increased the enthusiasm of the Chinese people to fight against Japan, the boss was thunderous and demanded that the North China military must regain Xiangfen County as soon as possible and eliminate the new regiment that brought great shame to the Japanese army.

Tada Jun, who was frustrated by the large-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army, was in a bad mood when facing the rebuke of his immediate superior.

"Commander, because of the large-scale attack by the Eighth Route Army, our transportation lines in North China are almost paralyzed. The garrisons in various places are almost unable to take care of themselves and have no extra troops to reinforce Linfen, unless the mobile troops of several field divisions of the Front Army are mobilized!"

"However, these field divisions are preparing for the next retaliatory shells on the Eighth Route Army base. Once any unit is mobilized in advance, our plan may go bankrupt!"

"Also, when troops are dispatched from other places to reinforce Linfen, the troops can only rely on two legs to kill them. This will not only waste time, but also pay a very high price on the reinforcement. After all, this journey is the so-called base of the Eighth Route Army, and the Imperial Army has almost no way to deal with their guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare!"

"Is there nothing I can do?" Tada Jun asked with a frown and dissatisfied look on his face!

The Chief of Staff knew that Tada Jun was angry and immediately replied: "There are two solutions!"

"One is to carry out a retaliatory sweep of the Eighth Route Army in advance, and all troops were dispatched, so that the Eighth Route Army in various places could not take care of themselves. Then, a team of elite troops were drawn to Xiangfen County with lightning speed and kill this new regiment!"

"No!" Tada Jun refused without hesitation.

"A small impatience will cause chaos in the big plan! Our retaliatory sweep is not ready yet. If we rashly propose to dispatch, we will definitely not achieve the scheduled sweep results. We cannot affect a small Xiangfen County town that affects the entire North China battle situation!"

"If this is the case, I would rather be scolded by the commander than attack Xiangfen!"

The Chief of Staff interrogated: "Then there is a second way left!"

"Tele to the Imperial Army on the Northwest Shanxi frontline, let them send Major General Kawaguchi to Linfen in advance!"

"A field infantry corps in Major General Kawaguchi's hands, coupled with the new recruits being trained in Linfen City, can definitely allow him to assemble a sufficient number of troops to attack Xiangfen and eliminate the new regiment!"

On the front line of northwestern Shanxi, Major General Kawaguchi looked not good at all. He stood in front of the map with a calm face for almost half an hour.

He heard the electricity from Chongqing early in the morning.

As an officer with a keen sense of smell, he realized the first time he heard the electricity, that his superiors would definitely be furious about this telegram.

As the newly appointed brigade commander of Linfen, all the pressure in the end must be concentrated on him.

So, since he received the power, he found the Linfen map and hung it on the wall to think about ways to break the enemy.

"General, the Front Army Command's telegram asked us to go out immediately, lead troops to Linfen, retake Xiangfen County, and destroy the new regiment!" Adjutant Major Ikeda suddenly came over to report.

"Even if we go to Linfen now, we have not had more than half a month to prepare, we cannot act rashly and attack directly to retake Xiangfen!" Major General Chuankou answered angrily.

"Xiangfen is dozens of kilometers away from Linfen, and they are all in the Eighth Route Army controlled area. The car has no way to go, so it can only rely on two legs to kill it!"

"If the troops are not prepared enough, not only will they not be able to retake Xiangfen from the new first regiment, but the attacking troops will also lose their troops and lose their generals!"

"Our opponent is so cunning. This battle is not as easy as you think!"

Major Ikeda was puzzled and frowned and asked, "General, we have air support and heavy artillery. Do we still have to worry about the new regiment!"

"I think that as long as we dispatch an infantry brigade, we can regain Xiangfen under the cover of the aviation force!"

"It's not that easy. The commander of the Xinyi regiment is not stupid!" Major General Kawaguchi shook his head and denied.

"Let's talk about your heavy artillery first. If the Eighth Route Army destroyed the road, how can our heavy artillery enter their base? You may say that you can walk while building the road. But there is one thing that will be too slow for marching like this. The road that can be completed in one day may not be completed in three days. This means that the offensive troops must spend the night in the Eighth Route Army base!"

"Do you know what this means? After dark, our planes must return. At that time, the Eighth Route Army, which is active around, will definitely not miss this opportunity to attack our attacking troops at night."

"Not mentioning the attacking troops of one brigade, even if we have two infantry brigades, we cannot withstand such consumption!"

After saying that, Major General Kawaguchi took his eyes off the map.

Then he stared at the adjutant and asked, "What did the commander of the command headquarters say about the orders of the Front Command!"

"Our attack mission tomorrow has been replaced by the division commander to other troops, and we can lead the troops to Linfen at any time!"

"In addition, the division commander also prepared a base ammunition, a field artillery squadron and a cavalry brigade for us, and let us take it to Linfen together!"

"Also, as long as you agree, there will be a military train to cooperate with us to rush to Linfen tomorrow. Otherwise, it will take at least five days for us to reach Linfen City through a hiking marching!"

Major General Kawaguchi immediately replied: "I will go to the command center later. I must personally thank the division commander for his kindness!"

"Also, let the troops know that we will take a day off tomorrow, go out the day after tomorrow, and hike to Linfen!"

"As for the army, it's too dangerous. If the Eighth Route Army buried explosives on the railway, it only needed a pack of explosives to kill the troops of one of our infantry brigades."

"It's a bit slower to hike to Linfen, but safe. Now Xiangfen has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, so I don't care about being occupied by them for a few more days!"

"Finally, we will call back to the Front Army Headquarters and we will set off for Linfen the day after tomorrow to strive to regain Xiangfen within a month."

"As for eliminating the new ball, it will definitely take a long time!"

The front command of the new first regiment in Xiangfen County, as the sky gradually turned brighter, the political commissar decisively ordered the troops to stop transporting materials and seizing them, and all troops were transferred to the outside of the city to hide.

As for the county town, only two companies were left for warning.

Early in the morning, Wang Ping was about to rest, and the communications platoon leader rushed in, and the clear codes that had just come out of Chongqing were powered on!
