"General, do you want to take revenge on the Eighth Route Army?" the chief of staff asked subconsciously.
Seeing that Fujino was silent, he immediately reminded: "You have to think twice. Last time we assembled so many troops and so many artillery, we ended in failure, let alone now!"
Fujino shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake a second time!"
"All you need to do is execute the order. When the time comes, you will naturally know what I want to do by gathering so many troops?"
"Hi! When the mixed brigade enters Linfen City, I will make arrangements for you!" The chief of staff, who still had a puzzled expression on his face, hesitated for two seconds before answering.
The new regiment has moved to the former enemy headquarters in the woods, and Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong is counting the final results.
Before the results came out, a platoon leader from the communications company rushed over.
"The leader, regimental commander, and cavalry battalion received an urgent call. The Japanese response troops and the mixed brigade that broke out have converged. Directly under the cover of the aircraft, we are marching towards Linfen!"
"The Japs have planes, we can only watch them slip away from under our noses, there is nothing we can do!" Wang Ping had expected this result and answered after a long sigh.
Following the order: "Order the cavalry battalions and the Invalids to wait for the Japanese to withdraw from our base area, and each battalion will immediately return to their own stations to rest and replenish their losses!"
As soon as the communications platoon leader left, Zhong Chenggong came over with a smile on his face!
"Commander, commander, the results of the battle have been summarized..."
"I won't go into detail about how many Japanese we killed. You all know that. I'll focus on what we gained from this great battle."
"After statistics, we have seized a total of 28 mountain guns, 8 infantry guns, 14 mortars, 28 heavy machine guns, 89 light machine guns, and a total of about 6,800 rifles. Of course, these seizures include all
Surrender the equipment carried by the puppet troops!"
"Not to mention ammunition. In addition to supplementing the consumption of combat troops on the battlefield, the remaining ammunition also includes 2.8 million rounds of rifle machine gun bullets, 400,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, grenades, and grenade-specific grenades totaling 20,000 rounds.
mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery shells, a total of three thousand rounds!"
"In addition, there are 1.3 million jins of grain and 300,000 jins of other supplies, including medicines, cans, bedding, etc.!"
Commander Chen was also smiling from ear to ear at this time and immediately reminded him.
"Wang Ping, I suggest that you report this result to the headquarters immediately so that the head of the headquarters will also be happy!"
"The current situation in North China is very unfavorable to our Eighth Route Army. With this victory, it will not only reassure the bosses at the headquarters, but also boost morale. You must know that your new regiment is the breakthrough designated by the boss for this anti-mopping campaign
Point, from the moment you give the order, the boss will be watching you, waiting for the good news that you will win the battle!"
"Commander, please rest assured, I will send a telegram to the headquarters shortly to report the victory!" Wang Ping replied immediately.
Commander Chen continued with emotion: "I originally thought that the headquarters would allow you to make a breakthrough within a month, so you would be under some pressure. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary!"
"Last night, we killed five to six thousand Japs and three thousand puppet troops. Although Linfen City still had two thousand Japs in the end, it shouldn't be too stressful for you, Wang Ping, so I decided to immediately
Go back to the military area!"
"The situation in several other military divisions is very bad, and there must be a coordinated command!"
Wang Ping suddenly suggested: "Commander, if you hadn't come with your direct brigade, we definitely wouldn't have been able to kill so many little Japs last night!"
"The situation in the military region is indeed very bad, and the conditions are also very poor. I have a proposal!"
"Say!" Commander Chen immediately asked.
Wang Ping is famous for his quick thinking and paying great attention when fighting Japanese enemies.
Many times, problems that others had no solution for were easily solved in his hands.
Seeing Commander Chen's eager expression, Wang Ping knew that he had misunderstood and quickly explained.
"Commander, I have no opinions or ideas about the military region's counter-mopping up. After all, I don't understand the situation there. The only thing I can do is to provide some support to the military region in terms of logistics and ammunition supplies!"
"My idea is that the more than 2,000 puppet troops captured last night will be taken away by the direct brigade. They will be transformed while marching on the road. The 2,778 puppet troops will be able to transform at least 2,000 prisoners to join our Eighth Route Army. This way
As a result, the directly affiliated brigade can not only replace the lost troops, but also have hundreds of more troops to ensure that the combat effectiveness is not weakened!"
"There is also the equipment and ammunition seized this time. Forget it from the Invalids. All the equipment and ammunition seized here will be returned to the military area. Our new regiment does not want a single bullet!"
"You don't want the twenty-four mountain cannons from the two Japs' mountain artillery brigades. Are they all going to be given to the military region?" Commander Chen asked with his big eyes wide open and a look of disbelief on his face.
"No, we don't want mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles. Our new regiment doesn't want them all. We'll give them all to the military region!" Wang Ping answered with certainty.
Then he added: "With twenty-four mountain artillery pieces and a mountain artillery company directly under the brigade, the military region can completely form a mountain artillery regiment."
"Coupled with other artillery pieces, the military region can assemble at least sixty artillery pieces of various calibers, and use one night to fight the Japanese in a battle of annihilation!"
Commander Chen's eyes lit up and he replied: "Yes, this is indeed a good idea!"
"I didn't dare to have such an idea before. It was because after more than half a year of consumption, our troops and ammunition were not enough to support the troops in a large-scale annihilation war!"
"It's different now. With the support of these seizures, we can definitely do this!"
"With the seizures in this battle, plus the mortars and mountain artillery equipped by the directly-affiliated brigade, there will definitely be no problem in gathering 70 artillery pieces. Plus a directly-affiliated brigade, the troops that can be mobilized from each division can definitely kill a Japanese infantry
Team up!"
"As long as one Japanese infantry regiment is killed, the Taiyue Military Region's counter-sweeping game will be activated."
"At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will be in our hands, and the military region will have more mobile troops to kill more little devils!"
"Comrade Wang Ping, your words have awakened the dreamer!"
At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, they received a telegram from Commander Chen yesterday afternoon that the New Regiment, together with the brigade directly under the Taiyue Military Region, wanted to attack the Japanese mixed brigade.
Therefore, neither the boss nor the deputy chief of staff had any rest for a whole night.
However, after waiting for a whole night, they did not receive any news.
At this time, a bad premonition appeared directly in their minds.
Especially after dawn, this premonition becomes stronger.
In their minds, if the battle cannot be ended smoothly at night, it will definitely be more difficult for the Eighth Route Army, which has almost no air defense weapons, to end the battle smoothly when Japanese planes arrive on the battlefield after dawn.
Just when the boss was hesitating whether to send a telegram to Commander Chen to inquire, their familiar footsteps finally rang at the door of the war room, and then they saw the communications staff rushing in with a smile on his face.
"Chief, good news, good news from Taiyue Military Region..."
The chief of staff first took the telegram and read it, and then his face was shrouded in shock and surprise.
"Boss, this Wang Ping really didn't disappoint you. If he didn't take action, he would do it with such great skill. He killed more than 9,000 puppet troops in one night. This is simply a miracle!"
