The first thousand one hundred and twenty-four chapters lieutenant general
After suffering a heavy loss at the hands of the new regiment, the division commander Lieutenant General Ito did not directly send troops to retaliate like other commanders. Instead, he ceased his activities and trapped Linfen City. There was almost no movement for nearly half a year.
Of course, this was all on the surface. Secretly, Lieutenant General Ito never had a day off.
After safely withdrawing to Linfen, Lieutenant General Ito discovered a very important problem. A very important reason why the entire encirclement and suppression operation failed was that the intelligence collection was not as good as that of the new regiment.
The New Regiment can control its own troops, equipment, and even its marching route at all times. But it cannot figure out how many troops the opponent's New Regiment has, what its equipment is like, and where the troops are hidden...
In order to solve this problem, Lieutenant General Ito spent half a year placing moles in the New Regiment, and then started operations against the New Regiment outside the city a few months ago.
With the help of the inner ghost, Lieutenant General Ito is no longer a stranger to the new group.
They regrouped several times on the battlefield, but every time they suffered heavy losses, their subordinates had a chance to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army. However, Lieutenant General Ito let them down at the critical moment.
Those moles were among the ambushed Eighth Route Army troops. After they were completely wiped out, those moles were gone.
However, if you let them go, those insiders will climb to higher and higher positions and provide you with more important information.
I have to say that Lieutenant General Ito is a very strategic commander, and his goal was achieved.
The mole provided him with accurate information three times in a row, directly reorganizing the three battalions of the new regiment. The mole also relied on his ability to survive each disaster and was promoted from a platoon commander to a company commander in half a year, providing him with some information about the new regiment.
More confidential information.
"Division Commander, the insider just sent us a piece of information from outside the city!" the division chief of staff walked into Lieutenant General Ito's office and reported with excitement.
Lieutenant General Ito had a special order for those insiders hiding within the New Regiment. Unless there was important information, they must not contact the city to minimize the possibility of being exposed.
Now that the other party is risking exposure to send him information, there is only one possibility: something happened to the new group!
"Wang Ping!" After reading the information, Lieutenant General Ito exuded a strong murderous aura.
In his mind, Wang Ping will never be forgotten in his life.
It was Wang Ping who experienced his first disastrous defeat, from a field division commander to the current local garrison division commander.
Although there was no specific order from the front army, Lieutenant General Ito had already smelled something unusual in order to stay in Linfen to deal with the new group.
You must know that during the big sweep a year ago, the heavy artillery and artillery regiments directly under the divisions that the front army strengthened were either lost or blown up. I reported to the front army more than once, requesting that these artillery pieces be replenished, at least as much as
Replace the artillery lost in the artillery regiment.
However, one year later, the front army only sent itself a field artillery brigade and a mountain artillery brigade, with a total of twenty-four mountain field artillery pieces.
As for heavy artillery and tanks, the front army did not even mention it.
There are no heavy artillery and tanks, and even the artillery regiment is not fully staffed. There is no need for orders from the front army, and the division has been reduced from a field division to a local garrison division in terms of firepower!
All of this was caused by Wang Ping himself.
After returning to Linfen, although Lieutenant General Ito did not explicitly say that he wanted to kill Wang Ping for revenge, he had long secretly vowed in his heart that he must kill Wang Ping and wash away the series of humiliations Wang Ping had brought to him.
Now that Wang Ping finally returned from Yan'an, Lieutenant General Ito's first reaction was that his opportunity for revenge had come.
The chief of staff next to him immediately said: "The commander of the new regiment, Wang Ping, who severely wounded us a year ago, is back. He has arrived outside Linfen City and plans to command three battalions to retaliate against us!"
"That depends on whether he has this ability!" Lieutenant General Ito replied with gritted teeth.
"Contact our insiders. As long as you understand Wang Ping's battle plan, send it to us immediately!"
"For this information, we will give him five thousand yuan to buy it~"
The chief of staff replied: "The price has increased five times compared to the original price. I believe that our insiders hidden in these three battalions will definitely rush to send the information!"
"For five thousand dollars, even if they leave the Eighth Route Army, they can live freely for the rest of their lives no matter where they go!"
"I just want them to fight hard. If we don't fight hard, we won't be able to grasp the movements of the Eighth Route Army in time!" Lieutenant General Ito replied with a frown.
"I spent a month studying this Wang Ping. One of the important reasons why he defeated us time and time again is that he never plays his cards according to common sense. Moreover, his fighting speed is very fast. He will seize the opportunity to inflict fatal blows to the imperial army.
Attack and don’t give the imperial army any chance to breathe!”
"For such an opponent, if we want to defeat him, we must be faster than him!"
"Therefore, we must obtain information quickly. You inform the intelligence department to keep an eye on these insiders. As long as there is information, it must be sent to me as soon as possible. If possible, I will arrest
Take this opportunity and kill Wang Ping!"
"The intelligence said that Wang Ping came back with a mission."
"We developed the army to 30,000 people in one year, but now more than 10,000 people have caused so much trouble to the imperial army. If there were really 30,000 people, I can't imagine whether we would still have a foothold in southwestern Shanxi!
"
"This Wang Ping is so powerful, and it's hard for people to figure it out. As long as you give him time, he can definitely do it!"
"So, we can't give him this chance!"
"Seizing this opportunity and killing him is the easiest way for us to solve all problems once and for all."
The chief of staff also became enthusiastic and immediately replied: "I will give the order right away!"
One day later, Lieutenant General Ito received the information.
"Division commander, the new regiment plans to attack the Touguan Town stronghold, because Touguan Town is the farthest stronghold from Linfen, and it is an important traffic thoroughfare. It is like a nail driven into the Eighth Route Army base area and can be driven at any time.
It was used as an advance base for our counterattack. So we deployed a dissatisfied brigade of the Imperial Army and a regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army there!"
"With nearly 2,000 imperial troops and imperial association troops, is the Eighth Route Army capable of taking them down?" Lieutenant General Ito asked with a frown.
"Yes, as long as the Eighth Route Army dispatches artillery, it will definitely be able to easily capture Touguan Town!" the chief of staff replied with certainty.
Then he added: "In addition, there is another factor why the Eighth Route Army chose to attack here!"
"Linfen City is nearly fifteen kilometers away from Touguan Town, and the infantry can reach it in three hours with a quick march. However, there is a problem here!"
The chief of staff pointed at the map and introduced: "Here, there are nearly five kilometers of roads in hilly areas. As long as the Eighth Route Army deploys a thousand people here, they can stop us for two or three hours!"
Lieutenant General Ito frowned and sighed: "Wang Ping is indeed Wang Ping, his eyes are vicious!"
