Zhong Chenggong, who had been busy at the side, suddenly came over: "Commander, regimental commander, and commander of the fourth battalion sent a telegram to the army. They used the method of luring the enemy deep into the army last night and killed a large group of Japs. They also seized a large number of artillery pieces.
and other weapons and ammunition!”
"Now they have withdrawn from their positions in accordance with the order and let the Japs into the base area. However, several battalions of troops did not withdraw too far and have been lurking nearby to monitor the Japs' every move!"
"Good fight!" Wang Ping replied with satisfaction.
Then reminded: "Reply a telegram to the Rongjun Army and monitor the little devil, but be sure not to be impulsive!"
"The kid has a plane during the day. Even if a fighter plane appears, you have to think carefully before boarding!"
As soon as the radio operator waiting nearby left, Commander Chen said happily: "Wang Ping, it seems that the results of tonight's battle are far beyond our imagination!"
"Brigadier Li, tell me about the results of your battle here. Let's see how many little Japs we killed tonight!"
"Yes! Commander!" Brigadier Li quickly replied!
"The ones who participated in the battle last night were our direct brigade, as well as the armored assault battalion of the new regiment, three infantry battalions, and three mountain artillery companies. I won't go into details about the battle process, only the results!"
"After statistics, a total of 3,593 intact corpses of little Japanese were found on the battlefield. There were also many corpses of Japanese that were directly blown to pieces by artillery shells. There is no way to count them, but there must be more than a hundred people!"
"The other area is the area where Commander Wang buried the explosives. Because the explosives were too powerful and the explosion was too tragic and bloody, there has not yet been a final confirmation and statistics there. But it is certain that a total of three Japs were stationed in that area.
A complete infantry squadron, plus the surrounding areas affected, six hundred people will definitely be indispensable."
"Total all together, we killed at least 4,300 little devils in total!"
"Including a reinforced baggage brigade, two thousand Japanese recruits, an infantry brigade, and two mountain artillery brigade!"
"In addition to the three regiments of the Imperial Association Army that assisted the Japanese baggage force in transporting food and ammunition supplies, more than 300 people were killed and injured on the battlefield, and the remaining 2,800 people all became our prisoners."
"We have captured all the food and ammunition supplies that the little devils finally delivered here. There are seven to eight thousand mules, horses and horses alone, and they are densely packed in a large area!"
"Before dawn, I have ordered the troops to move all prisoners, captured food and ammunition, as well as mules, horses and horses to the nearby woods to avoid possible air attacks by the Japanese!"
"In addition, all the twenty-four mountain cannons equipped by the two Japanese mountain artillery brigades were captured by us. Even if the shells were not fired, they were all captured by us!"
"The only regret is the light and heavy machine guns and mortars! Because they are easy to carry, when the Japanese broke through, they took almost everything they could with them!"
"However, we still seized 29 light and heavy machine guns and nearly 3,000 rifles from the kidnappers intercepted by the assault camp. If we include the puppet soldiers, the total number of rifles totaled more than 5,500, and the number of light and heavy machine guns was
More than sixty!"
The smile on Commander Chen's face grew wider: "In other words, in one night, we killed half of the Japanese mixed brigade!"
Wang Ping didn't have too much of a smile on his face and answered calmly: "Commander, although we killed more than 4,000 Japanese, they were either heavy troops or new recruits, as well as artillery. There are only less than 1,000 elite veterans!"
"In the entire mixed brigade, almost all the most capable Japanese soldiers have escaped."
"Once they are allowed to enter Linfen, the little devils in Linfen City will definitely become even more powerful!"
Commander Chen comforted him: "Comrade Wang Ping, you are still not satisfied after such a big victory. I think you are careless and have forgotten the most important thing!"
"Even if all the more than 4,000 remaining Japs entered Linfen City, it would greatly increase Linfen City's defense strength. However, they did not bring in a single grain, and instead consumed Linfen City's already meager grain every day!"
"In my opinion, this is not a bad thing!"
"Without food and ammunition, it's useless no matter how powerful the little devil is!"
Wang Ping, who only wanted to kill as many Japs as possible, had really forgotten about this incident. His eyes lit up and he replied: "It's true... Commander, there is no news about the cavalry battalion now. If the cavalry battalion can kill some more Japs,
Then our battle last night was a blessing in disguise!"
"There must be good news coming back!" As soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, Commander Chen next to him said something incomprehensible.
Then I looked up and saw a telegraph operator rushing over with a smile on his face, holding a telegram in his hand.
"Commander, commander, successful report of the cavalry battalion!"
"They killed the Japanese cavalry brigade and nearly a thousand Japanese infantry. Now they are scattered and hidden. Zhang here to retreat!"
"I really said that Cao Cao is here. Comrade Wang Ping, your three wishes have really come true!"
At the Japanese division headquarters in Linfen City, Lieutenant General Fujino had not rested since he was woken up in the middle of the night. He stayed in the war room, waiting for battle reports from the front line.
From one o'clock in the morning to six o'clock in the morning, all that awaits is bad news.
It was not until nine o'clock in the morning that the escort aviation troops arrived on the battlefield, and Fujino finally received good news.
However, facing this good news, he was not happy at all.
"Division commander, the response force has merged with the mixed brigade and is marching towards Linfen City under the cover of the aviation force!"
"This price is too high!" Lieutenant General Fujino said with a painful look on his face after reading the telegram in his hand with his eyes wide open.
The chief of staff didn't know how to comfort him. After hesitating for a few seconds, he answered bravely: "Division commander, no matter what, Major General Shibasaki also brought nearly 3,000 imperial troops!"
"According to the report, these three thousand imperial troops are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. As for the troops lost by the mixed brigade last night, except for a small number of veterans, the rest are all new soldiers, heavy baggage troops, as well as artillery and other technical units. From here
To say the least, we should be lucky!"
"Not bad!" Lieutenant General Fujino, who had a painful look on his face just now, suddenly widened his eyes and stood up from his seat!
"There is another thing we should be thankful for. The New Regiment has hidden so many troops under our noses!"
"Not to mention, they actually have an armored force equipped only by the Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan!"
"If this armored force suddenly appears on the battlefield attacking us, without preparation, our front-line combat troops will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
"As soon as the mixed brigade is in place, we will re-adjust the deployment according to the newly exposed troops of the new Eighth Route Army regiment. The most important thing is to equip the front-line troops with rapid-fire artillery!"
"The best anti-tank artillery to deal with armored vehicles is the rapid-fire artillery we equip. It must be strengthened and equipped to every infantry squadron of the front-line combat troops!"
"Chief of Staff, you make arrangements. Use the Imperial Alliance Army to replace more of the Imperial Army. I want to gather at least one mixed brigade of the Imperial Army!"
