With the weapons and ammunition sent by Wang Ping, Commander Chen had an offensive fist in his hands.
After locking himself in the room for two full days, he started giving orders as soon as he came out.
"Send a telegram to the New Regiment and ask them to dispatch at least 5,000 people to assume a posture of attacking and reinforcing Taiyue!"
"The brigades and artillery regiments directly under the military region, the regiments directly under the first division, the regiments directly under the second division, and the regiments directly under the third division will assemble and set off immediately, marching day and night to the vicinity of Zhoukou Town, hiding and waiting!"
"Tell the commanders of the three military divisions that the three directly affiliated regiments only need to carry weapons and a small amount of ammunition. The ammunition that needs to be consumed in battle will be provided by the military region!"
The chief of staff next to him was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Commander, do you want to attack the Japanese brigade headquarters in Zhoukou Town?"
Seeing that Commander Chen did not speak to express his approval, the Chief of Staff immediately reminded: "Commander, please think twice!"
"Although there are only two infantry brigades of the Japanese army and one regiment of the puppet army in Zhoukou Town, it is the headquarters of the Japanese brigade and regiment after all, and all the surrounding more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops are commanded there!"
"Once there is an attack there, I am sure that the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops will rush to rescue them desperately."
"The brigade directly under the military region and the three regiments directly under the military region only have 10,000 troops. In front of the Japanese and puppet troops, we don't even have the advantage in strength. How can we fight! Maybe the Japanese brigade headquarters in Zhoukou Town is not captured, and we ourselves
Instead, we were surrounded by them!”
Commander Chen shook his head and replied: "No, Chief of Staff, we have a military advantage!"
"Those troops you just mentioned, plus the troops in the three divisions near the battlefield, plus the 5,000 people I asked Wang Ping to dispatch, we have at least 20,000 people!"
After the chief of staff stared at the map for a full minute, his solemn and worried face did not look much better, and he continued to analyze.
"I understand what you mean. The new regiment's dispatch of 5,000 people can hold back the more than 3,000 puppet troops in the southwest of Zhoukou Town and prevent them from moving!"
"The troops in the third division can hold back the Japanese and puppet troops in the east."
"But even if we get rid of them, there are nearly 4,000 Japanese puppet troops in the other two directions who can reinforce Zhoukou Town, and the distance is not very far. They can reach Zhoukou Town in less than five hours of urgent marching!"
"Including the garrison in Zhoukou Town, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops we need to face is 7,000. Even though we have 10,000, we don't have much strength advantage, and it is still a tough battle!"
A mysterious smile suddenly flashed across Commander Chen's face, and he replied: "No, Chief of Staff, this time our attack on the enemy is fake, but our call for reinforcements is real!"
"After fighting the reinforcements, rest for a whole day, and then attack again the next night. I will eat all the puppet troops of more than 7,000 days in three bites!"
"In addition, in addition to the advantage in troops, Chief of Staff, don't forget that we also have the advantage in firepower!"
"Half of the hundreds of light and heavy machine guns that Wang Ping sent over a few days ago were given to us. I plan to use them all to strengthen the reinforcements!"
"We have an encounter with the Japs at night and use twice the troop advantage and more than three times the firepower advantage to attack the opponent. I don't believe we can't win!"
Three nights later, the two encounters started almost simultaneously.
They always block the attack first, blocking the Japanese on the battlefield prepared by Commander Chen, and then the entire army surrounds them and kills them.
On the battlefield, both the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese and puppet troops under attack were frightened by the powerful firepower exposed by the Eighth Route Army.
As soon as the encirclement and annihilation war began, the Japanese and puppet troops were stunned.
Completely suppressed by firepower, they were unable to move, let alone block the Eighth Route Army that was rushing towards them like a wave.
"Report to the commander, the brigade directly under the report, the Japanese and puppet reinforcements coming from the north have been completely wiped out. A total of one regiment of puppet troops and a reinforced group of Japanese troops are cleaning the battlefield!" At four o'clock in the morning, the chief of staff said
He rushed into the headquarters with excitement and reported.
"From the beginning of the war to the present, the battle ended in exactly four hours. The direct brigade did a good job!" Commander Chen replied with a satisfied look on his face.
After waiting for another half an hour, the chief of staff rushed in again, with the same excited look on his face.
"Commander, the commander of the regiment directly under the first division reported that they also killed more than 2,000 puppet troops!"
"Very good!" Commander Chen's tense nerves completely relaxed, and then he began to issue new orders with a face full of enthusiasm!
"The lairs of the two Japanese and puppet troops must be empty now, and there are not many troops to defend them. Each of the two ambush troops sent out a main group to capture their lairs for me, and then lurked in place, waiting for new orders!"
"Other troops, take the captured weapons and advance towards Zhoukou Town in a concealed manner. Tomorrow night, I will capture Zhoukou Town!"
Just when the Japanese and puppet troops in Zhoukou Town slowly realized what it means to be indifferent every day, and to be indifferent to the earth and the earth. At the new regiment headquarters outside Linfen City, Wang Ping also began to issue orders!
"Captain, the commander's appetite is not that big...not to mention pulling out the tiger's teeth, but using his sword to kill more than 7,000 puppet troops!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang said with emotion as he took the battle report copied from the military region.
Wang Ping affirmed: "The commander does have a big appetite. However, the commander eats meat, and we also dispatched five thousand people. It would be a shame to come back without some soup for such a good opportunity."
"Contact the military region and we request to kill the 3,000 Japanese puppet troops southwest of Zhoukou Town!"
"The six battalions we killed were all newly established units and have not experienced any major battles. This kind of unit where the Japanese and puppet troops are mixed together is the best for training. The opportunity is in front of us and we must seize it.
!”
Huang Yuanqiang affirmed: "Now the military region is attacking Zhoukou Town, and Zhoukou Town will definitely be captured tonight. We will take the opportunity to capture the 3,000-day puppet army and completely open up the connection with the third division. It should not affect the military region."
Layout!"
"I will send a telegram to the military region now, asking for a fight!"
"Wait a minute, political commissar!" Wang Ping suddenly thought of something, stopped and wanted to leave Huang Yuanqiang.
"How is the situation with the nine newly formed battalions?"
"The cadres, personnel, and equipment are all in place and are undergoing running-in training!" Although Huang Yuanqiang didn't understand why the regiment leader asked himself this question at this time, he still answered readily.
Then he added: "Speaking of which, we also want to thank the little Japs. The puppet prisoners this time were all trained by them, and they are very powerful in combat. The reason why they did not sacrifice their lives for the little Japs is because their thoughts are not on the little Japs.
.”
"As long as we can do their ideological work well, let them sincerely join our Eighth Route Army and give full play to their strengths. I am sure that it will not take long for the combat effectiveness of these troops to reach the level of several old troops!"
"That's good!" Wang Ping replied with a long sigh of relief.
Following the order: "Tell the battalion commanders that the troops must continue to strengthen their training. Maybe it won't take long before they go to the battlefield!"
"Go to the battlefield! Is our new regiment going to fight again? How long has it been since we stopped, and there are no enemies around us, how is it possible!" Huang Yuanqiang asked with a look of disbelief.
Wang Ping responded with a very mysterious expression: "I wasn't sure before, but after the commander launched this attack, I was 70% sure of my previous guess!"
"Political Commissar, just wait. It won't take long for the war situation to change!"
