In less than half an hour, the news that the remaining three reinforced squadrons, including the brigade headquarters, were attacked by cavalry and that the entire army was destroyed reached the war room.
Lieutenant General Fujino sat down on the stool.
His face turned red from anger and frustration, and his big, round eyes were filled with anger, as if they could spit fire, and were red.
After a long time, he stood up again, stared at the sand table and analyzed: "An infantry brigade was attacked by cavalry and the entire army was destroyed. The combat effectiveness of this cavalry unit must be very powerful, and there must be a lot of troops!"
"A strengthened squadron at Songshan Pass was completely wiped out while occupying favorable terrain, and there was no chance to send a telegram for help. It is certain that the Eighth Route Army attacking them had at least one battalion, otherwise it would not have been possible!"
"This means that this area hides at least one main battalion and one reinforced cavalry battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yes, division commander, I think so too!" the chief of staff affirmed.
Then he changed the topic and continued: "However, we don't know if these troops left here last night and returned to their base area... After all, Songshan Pass is in their hands again, and they can quickly return to their base area through Songshan Pass!
"
"If they leave, consider them lucky. If they don't leave, we will kill them no matter what this time... pay with blood and avenge the soldiers of Yushang!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied with a stern face, and then he radiated out.
A strong murderous aura.
Then he pointed at the sand table and began to give orders: "The two infantry brigades that retreated yesterday are going back now. One brigade is blocking Songshan Pass, and the other brigade is blocking here..."
"Cavalry brigade, enter this area immediately and conduct a dragnet search!"
"The aviation force will dispatch immediately to conduct aerial reconnaissance of this area!"
"As soon as you discover the Eighth Route Army troops, launch an attack immediately and kill them with aerial bombs!"
At the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment of the Royal Association Army, the political cadres of the newly formed fourth battalion were separately mobilizing more than 800 Imperial Army soldiers who had become prisoners.
The effect was very good. In less than two hours, more than two hundred prisoners of the Imperial Army were already willing to join the Eighth Route Army!
As for the newly formed fourth battalion, except for the patrol and security troops, everyone else hid in the Royal Association Army barracks to sleep and replenish their physical strength.
"Jingle Bell……"
Suddenly, the regimental phone number rang.
Zhou Xutian, who was standing by, quickly picked up the phone. After a few words, he covered the phone and reported to Wang Ping: "Captain, this is the phone number from Linfen City. I want to contact the commander of the fifth regiment of the Imperial Association Army!"
Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to the commander of the fifth regiment of the Imperial Association Army who was being stared at by two guards, and then threatened: "Linfen City is looking for your phone number. What should you say and what shouldn't be said? You should be very careful.
clear!"
"As long as you cooperate, we will release you in two months at most, and you can do whatever you want. If you don't cooperate, the bayonet in my hand can cut your throat in just half a second. Live or not."
Death, the decision is all in your own hands!"
"Please rest assured, sir, I promise to cooperate!" He quietly controlled his own group and killed more than forty Japanese. He had already seen the methods of Wang Ping's gang and was frightened.
Seeing the bayonet in Wang Ping's hand, the commander of the Imperial Army didn't even have the thought of refusing, and quickly nodded in reply.
"Give him the phone!" Wang Ping ordered Zhou Xutian after seeing the fear in the other person's eyes.
After the two-minute call ended, a layer of sweat appeared on the forehead of the Imperial Army Commander.
As soon as he put down the phone, he reported to Wang Ping: "Taijun... No, the little Japs in Linfen City said that there may be Eighth Route Army troops operating near us. Let us step up our guard and report immediately if we find the Eighth Route Army. They have already sent two infantrymen.
The brigade and a cavalry brigade are coming over, if the Eighth Route Army is still hiding here, just dispatch the aviation force to kill them!"
"Very good!" Wang Ping was very satisfied with the other party's answer!
Then he promised: "Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army keeps its word. After this big battle is over, we will definitely let you go!"
"Li battalion commander, immediately send a telegram to the cavalry battalion and the chief of staff. The Japs already know about us. Pay attention to hiding. The cavalry battalion directly enters the 5th or 6th regiment of the Imperial Association Army and hides. It will not come out until dark after the Japs search is over.
!”
"Tell Rong Jun that a brigade of Japs is heading towards Songshan Pass. I will hand over the Japs from this brigade to him. How many Japs he can kill will depend on his ability!"
"There are still two action teams operating in this area. The operation has been temporarily suspended. The troops are dispersed and hidden on the spot. They will continue the operation after the enemy's search is over in the dark!"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the chief of staff walked into the war room with a complicated expression. It was unclear whether he was happy or angry.
"The Eighth Route Army escaped?" Fujino saw the answer from the chief of staff's face at a glance!
"Hi!" the chief of staff confirmed.
"The cavalry brigade and the aviation force cooperated with each other to conduct a wide-net search of this area. Except for a few Eighth Route Army guerrillas, there was no sign of any main force activities!"
"Judging from my humble opinion, they must have taken advantage and broke out directly from Songshan Pass back to their base!"
Lieutenant General Fujino had suppressed his anger and had no place to vent his anger. He could only curse at the Chief of Staff: "Bagya Road, this time it is easier for them!"
"Our troops are still too small. Facing the Eighth Route Army's attack, we can only demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. This has too many disadvantages. We must find a way to change it!"
"Contact the front army, and the additional troops, food and ammunition for us must arrive as soon as possible!"
"And the Imperial Association Army we formed must form a combat effectiveness as soon as possible. You have to handle these two things personally. One month, I only give you one month. These Imperial Association Army must form a combat effectiveness, and then at least four brigades
Replace the imperial army and defend the place!"
"The new regiment is too cunning. If we want to kill them, we must have a sufficient number of mobile troops in our hands!"
The chief of staff doesn't want to take on this mission.
Whether it is training troops or urging the front army to replenish troops, it is a thankless task.
It's okay if nothing goes wrong. If something goes wrong, all the responsibilities will be on you.
However, facing Fujino's eyes that could almost kill people, no matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to agree.
At this moment, Wang Ping was hiding in the headquarters of the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army, where Lieutenant General Fujino had placed high hopes, and was feasting.
In order to avoid exposing his target, he had to eat dry food for the past few days. Now when he arrived at the Imperial Alliance Army's station, he didn't have to worry so much.
Starting at five o'clock in the afternoon, the troops had meals in batches.
Because the army had many little devils stationed there, in order to entertain them, the leader of the fifth regiment specially bought a pig.
These things are all cheaper now Wang Ping.
Steaming pork stewed vermicelli, big white steamed buns, and steaming bone soup, this is the dinner of the New Fourth Battalion tonight.
If Fujino saw this scene, he would be so angry that he might vomit blood on the spot!
Those who live with the Japs, those who eat the Japs, and those who drink the Japs are still planning at the dinner table how they will continue to fight the Japs tonight!
