Wang Ping's words made the three group leaders become excited again.
Especially the commander of the second regiment, because he assisted in the command, the second regiment achieved the greatest results during the two nights of night raids, and gained the most benefits.
Today, although the Second Regiment has lost two companies, it has only a lot more weapons and equipment, especially mortars and heavy machine guns.
The guy in hand is healed and has enough ammunition. As the leader, he definitely wants to continue to cause trouble for the Japanese.
"Commander, give me the order! Tonight, our second regiment will kill at least 150 Japanese and puppet troops and avenge the comrades who died on the battlefield!"
"Yes, revenge!"
The answer of the second regiment leader directly aroused a lot of approval, and then stared at Wang Ping waiting for orders.
Wang Ping understood the divine command and analyzed: "The night before yesterday, we killed more than a thousand puppet troops, and yesterday we killed four to five hundred people. Excluding the cavalry and artillery, the remaining infantry in the hands of the Japanese still had 1,500 people standing high in the sky.
If we kill another 500 of them tonight, and if we continue to fight like this for two days, the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us will be consumed by us!"
"Now I order..."
Before he could continue, a telegraph operator rushed over, holding a telegram in his hand, and interrupted directly.
"Chief, there is an urgent message forwarded from the commander!"
"The third brigade left behind in Liulin just killed a Japanese baggage team and seized a large amount of ammunition supplies~"
"The Japs on the front line have no ammunition!" Wang Ping made a quick judgment.
There was no solution to the problem just now. At this moment, a very bold plan popped up in my mind!
Then he ordered: "Tonight's operation is cancelled, there is a new mission!"
Then he ordered the telegraph operator waiting nearby: "Reply the telegram to the commander now and order the third brigade commander to launch an attack on Liulin County after dark!"
"In addition, detach a regiment of troops and attack in the direction of Luliang to delay the reinforcements that the Japanese army in Luliang may send to Liulin!"
"The remaining two regiments should attack Liulin with all their strength. The harder the attack, the better. Take out all the artillery in your hands and strive to capture Liulin in the first half of the night. Then evacuate Liulin for me. After daybreak, withdraw from Liulin and find
A place to hide and standby!"
The order he just gave was beyond his authority, but in order to seize the opportunity, Wang Ping could not control so much.
Seeing that the operator was stunned on the spot, with his mouth open for a long time without responding, he continued to order.
"Why are you still dazed? Just follow my order and call the commander back. I believe the commander will understand my overreach of command just now!"
Seeing the operator leaving, the anxious Second Regiment Commander asked: "Deputy Chief of Staff, where are we? The operation has been cancelled. What are we doing tonight?"
"The troops have rested all day during the day, and everyone is full of food and drink, and is full of energy. They are just waiting for you to give the battle order..."
"Cavalry, tonight we will kill the Japanese cavalry regiment!" As soon as Wang Ping opened his mouth, several brigade commanders were so shocked that they opened their mouths and did not react for a long time.
The commander of the first brigade was the first to react. He stared at Wang Ping and asked: "But, deputy chief of staff, didn't you just say that there was no way to deal with the Japanese cavalry regiment?"
"If they don't divide their forces, we can't do anything to them!"
"Wait a minute, I seem to understand... The third brigade will attack Liulin County after dark. Liulin has hoarded the Japanese's ammunition supplies for two months, and we must not throw them away."
"The reinforcements in Luliang are unreliable, so they can only send their own troops back to Liulin."
"The infantry is slow and they may not be able to get back in two days. In the end, we have to send the cavalry back. The cavalry is fast. As long as no accidents happen, we can reach Liulin County in three hours!"
Wang Ping replied with admiration: "Commander Zhang, your analysis is good. This is my general plan!"
"Tonight, we will move in two steps, and our troops will be divided into two."
"Regiment 1, stay here, act according to the original plan after dark, and continue to attack the Japanese and puppet army positions at night!"
"The other troops will follow me and set off after dark, rush here and eat up the cavalry regiment that the little devil returns to support!"
Looking at the position pointed by Wang Ping's finger on the map, the several group leaders who had just reacted from the shock were confused again!
Brigadier Zhang frowned and reminded: "Deputy Chief of Staff, are you mistaken?"
"There is a small plain with flat terrain. It is a rare piece of fertile land for dozens of kilometers around. There is not even a small highland or a small ridge. How can we attack the Japanese cavalry troops!"
"Although I have never fought against cavalry, I have heard of it. Such terrain is not only disadvantageous to us, but also conducive to the cavalry's mobility and powerful assault capabilities!"
Wang Ping replied confidently: "If you can think of this, Brigadier Zhang, then the Japanese will definitely think of it too."
"So, in the eyes of the Japanese cavalry, even if we want to stop them and attack them, we will not choose here!"
Brigadier Zhang reacted quickly: "Catch the Japanese by surprise!"
"This is just one aspect!" Wang Ping explained.
"When fighting cavalry in this kind of terrain, the Japanese will definitely be very arrogant, and then launch a desperate attack on us, using the cavalry's powerful maneuverability and assault advantages to attack us. And what I need is a desperate attack from the Japanese. They will cross
No matter how hard you die, the faster you die on the battlefield, the smaller our casualties will be!"
"How is that possible~" Brigadier Zhang had an expression of disbelief on his face.
In his view, on the battlefield, the infantry had almost no room to fight back in front of the cavalry, let alone block the cavalry attack head-on. This was simply suicide!
Wang Ping did not explain, but answered very confidently: "Follow my orders... Tonight, we will kill the Japanese cavalry regiment here!"
"We will set off as soon as the Japanese plane leaves the battlefield..."
At the Japanese Army Wing Headquarters, Colonel Yongsheng was originally in a bad mood, but the reply from the division commander gave him hope of defeating the Suide Military Region of the Eighth Route Army again.
After reading the telegram, I was very satisfied and said: "With the two garrison brigades, plus the two regiments of the Imperial Army, when they arrive at Liulin, the mobile force in my hand will not only have one more brigade of the Imperial Army, but also more
The previous regiment of the Imperial Army. In this way, our rear will be more stable!"
"Send a telegram to the Liulin garrison now to report this situation!"
"The troops sent by the division will set off tonight, and if nothing else happens, they will arrive at noon tomorrow. Therefore, after dawn, at least one infantry reinforcement from the squadron will be deployed to cooperate with the baggage troops to transport ammunition supplies to us!"
"Hi... I'm going to send a telegram now!" The adjutant's face looked much better and he answered immediately.
"Sir, something happened in Liulin~" Soon, the adjutant rushed back with a serious look on his face. When he saw Colonel Yongsheng, he hurriedly reported.
"Liulin County called back. Since half an hour ago, Eighth Route Army troops have appeared around the county. Now more and more Eighth Route Army troops have gathered around them, almost a regiment. They look good and want to attack Liulin tonight!
"
"Artillery, they also found mountain field artillery for siege among the Eighth Route Army outside the city!"
"Also, chaos began in Liulin City, and there were several incidents where the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army were shot dead. They judged that there were many Eighth Route Army troops lurking in Liulin City, and they were preparing to attack from inside and outside with the attacking troops outside the city.
Take Liulin!"
"Mountain field artillery for siege...and internal support..." Colonel Yongsheng's brows furrowed again.
Then he analyzed: "Liulin City only has one reinforcement squadron left by the Second Battalion. We have one reinforcement squad and two baggage squadrons left behind, plus a temporary Royal Association Army garrison battalion. The total strength is less than 800 people.
, if the Eighth Route Army attacking them does have siege artillery, they will definitely not hold out until dawn tomorrow!"
"Immediately send a telegram to the troops left behind to find out how many Eighth Route Army troops are outside the city. If there is only one regiment, even if they have siege artillery, the troops left behind can abandon the city wall, concentrate their forces to hold on to the material warehouse and ammunition depot, and still hold on until dawn.
