At the temporary station of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Fujino was furious at the headquarters. His face was ashen and he was walking around the room with a very anxious expression.
Before the chief of staff who hurried in could speak, Fujino couldn't help but ask: "How is it? Have you contacted them?"
The chief of staff shook his head with a calm face and replied: "No, not only the garrison with the blockade equipment radio has lost contact, Linfen City can't be contacted either!"
"There must be something wrong with Bagya Road!" Lieutenant General Fujino replied, the bad premonition in his mind getting stronger and stronger.
"Could it be that while the main force of the Imperial Army was penetrating into their base, the Eighth Route Army also dispatched its main force into our occupied area and captured all the garrisons on the blockade and Linfen City?"
"Impossible?" After saying these words, Lieutenant General Fujino even showed an expression of disbelief.
"Even if we draw out the main force, the total number of imperial troops in Linfen City and the blockade is still more than 4,000, and there are also more than 10,000 imperial associate troops. How could they all be killed by the Eighth Route Army overnight, and
Let's kill them quietly. Even if there are more than 10,000 pigs guarding the position, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to catch them all in one night, let alone more than 10,000 soldiers armed to the teeth!"
"There must be something wrong somewhere in the middle!"
"Contact the aviation force immediately and conduct low-altitude reconnaissance of these places. Go now!"
After the order was given, Fujino's tense nerves did not relax.
He paced back and forth in the headquarters with his hands behind his back to vent his inner anxiety and panic.
Fujino was very tired after marching all night last night. But at this moment, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
After walking around the headquarters for two hours, the chief of staff returned to the war room with a sullen face.
"Division Commander, the situation is very bad!"
"The aviation force reported that there was no movement at all the stations along the blockade. Logically speaking, it is the time for the troops to train, but not even a single person could be found in those strongholds!"
"As for Linfen City?"
"What happened to Linfen City?" Fujino became anxious and asked, staring at the chief of staff.
The chief of staff replied bravely: "They confirmed that Linfen City has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army!"
"There are obvious traces of a battle at the top of Linfen City. Not only were no imperial troops found, but many Eighth Route Army troops were found!"
"The Eighth Route Army really captured it? How is that possible?" Fujino was stunned for several seconds before he recovered from the shock, showing an expression of disbelief.
However, after all, Fujino was the battle-hardened lieutenant general division commander. He frowned and ordered: "Although I don't know how the Eighth Route Army did it, we must not let them take Linfen City so easily!"
"Contact the aviation force and immediately carry out retaliatory bombing against the Eighth Route Army occupying Linfen City~"
"Division commander, calm down!" the chief of staff next to him quickly advised.
"If they could bomb, they would have bombed just now. Not only did they see the Eighth Route Army at the top of Linfen City, they also saw a large number of imperial expatriates captured by the Eighth Route Army. There were more than a thousand people in total, many of whom the front army requested to protect.
merchant!"
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning. They tied all these people at the top of the city. As long as the aviation force drops bombs, these foreigners will definitely be the first to be killed!"
"Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is so cunning, they actually targeted the overseas Chinese..." Fujino cursed.
At this moment, he could only vent his inner anger and dissatisfaction through yelling and cursing.
It took him five minutes to slowly calm down, and then he turned his attention to the map in front of him.
The chief of staff next to him couldn't help but ask: "Division commander, what should we do next? Should we return to Linfen immediately to reinforce him?"
Fujino refused without thinking: "What's the use of going back?"
"The food, weapons, and ammunition supplies in Linfen City must have been completely moved by the Eighth Route Army. Without these things, even if we retake Linfen City, we will run out of ammunition and food. Without the Eighth Route Army attacking, the army will collapse on its own!"
"Also, we have less than 8,000 troops left. To be precise, there are only about 7,500 left. There are only 6,500 real combat troops left! The Eighth Route Army will definitely not give Linfen City to us for no reason.
There will definitely be a war, and there will be casualties in the war. How many of these 6,500 people do you think can return to Linfen City alive, and can the remaining troops defend Linfen City under the siege of the Eighth Route Army!"
The chief of staff replied helplessly: "It's difficult to hold on!"
Then the conversation changed and he continued to ask: "But if we don't return to Linfen City, where can we go?"
"Here!" Fujino pointed to a point on the map and answered decisively.
"Taiyue!" the chief of staff asked, staring at this point.
Fujino affirmed: "This is it!"
"After the new regiment takes Linfen, they will definitely gather more troops to deal with us!"
"Now the casualty ratio between us and them is one to one. If we continue to fight like this, even if our entire army is destroyed, we can only cause more than half of their casualties. In addition, Linfen City has also been lost, so there is no need to continue fighting here.
!”
"But going to Taiyue is different. Although the front army deployed a regiment to reinforce Taiyue, facing several great victories won by the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, we did not have much advantage. If we want to do it in a short time
It is very difficult to change the situation and end the battle!"
"But it's different when we kill them. The imperial army in Taiyue area suddenly has an absolute advantage in strength!"
"Then we can concentrate our forces to counterattack the Eighth Route Army there, and fight more annihilation battles to kill them! This may be our only chance to turn defeat into victory, and we must seize it!"
"In this way, the troops continue to rest here. I will immediately send a telegram to the front army headquarters and request the front army to agree to our attack on Taiyue!"
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff rushed into the war room with a telegram in his hand and an excited look on his face.
Seeing the frowning deputy commander, he reported.
"Boss, good news, the new regiment of Taiyue Military Region has won another great victory!"
"Isn't the main force of the Japanese army in Linfen City mopping up their base area? This guy Wang Ping has already made a big splash without even making a sound. He directly led his troops to destroy Linfen City, the home of the Japs!"
"Also, he didn't know what method he used to overthrow the Imperial Alliance Army that the little devils had worked so hard to build, and captured nearly ten thousand people!"
"What!" The boss's brows suddenly widened, and he grabbed the telegram and looked at it.
"Haha... God helps our Eighth Route Army!"
"The Japs just transferred a regiment of reinforcements to Taiyue, and Wang Ping followed up and captured Linfen City~ Okay, well done!"
"I know the situation of those puppet troops, even though they were organized by the little devils. However, our Comrade Wang Ping has long been fine. The little devils provided money, guns, and food to help Wang Ping raise and train the troops!"
"When the Japanese formed the Imperial Association Army, they retained a hand and sent a large number of cadres to join. After such a long period of development, those cadres must have secretly developed many troops. Then suddenly, it was no problem to capture those puppet troops.
No!"
"It's just that I didn't expect that he would take down Linfen City as well!"
