Chapter five hundred and forty second Japanese army fooled
"Brigadier, don't worry, the casualties of the new regiment will definitely not be too great." Wang Ping, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said.
"Two battalions plus more than 800 directly affiliated troops ambushed more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops, and there was also a heavy mortar company participating in the battle. The casualties of the new regiment are not big even if you think!"
"Brigadier, good news for the new regiment!" Perhaps to prove Wang Ping's judgment, as soon as he finished speaking, the excited voice of the communications staff sounded at the door.
"They successfully annihilated the Japanese and puppet reinforcements, captured more than 200 puppet troops, seized a lot of weapons and equipment, and suffered less than one company of their own casualties!"
"Wang Ping, you are worthy of being the former leader of the main force. You were right. You made the battle plan this time. How to fight next? You give the order and I will assist you!"
This final victory made the smile on Brigadier Chen's face grow wider, and he praised Wang Ping without hesitation.
This is the territory of the 386th Brigade, and no matter how courageous I am, I would not dare to cross it.
He quickly refused and said: "Brigadier, you are joking. I am just here to help. I just give you a hand. How can I command the troops!"
"If there is anything to worry about, just take command if you are asked to do so. You made the battle plan, and you will definitely make this battle better if you take command!" Brigadier Chen saw Wang Ping's concerns at a glance.
Then he cursed without hesitation!
"I'll stay right next to you. If anything goes wrong, I'll be responsible."
"Thank you, Brigadier, for your trust!" Having said this, Wang Ping certainly would not continue to shirk the blame, and strode to the map and began to issue orders.
"Call back to the New Regiment, leave all the seriously wounded to guard the prisoners, and the others will join the Independent Regiment, advance toward the county, and then lurk. Also, take all heavy weapons with you when you set off, including the captured heavy weapons.
!”
"Send a telegram to the New Second Regiment to start attacking Tianxin Town and seize the Japanese and puppet army's granary in Tianxin Town. The Third Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade will fully cooperate with the operation!"
"Send a telegram to the infantry regiment, prepare pocket formations, and ambush the county seat to reinforce the Japanese and puppet troops in Tianxin Town!"
"If there are not many reinforcements, kill them. If there are many reinforcements, block them. After the New Second Regiment takes Tianxin Town, they will go over to reinforce them and kill or severely damage the Japanese and puppet reinforcements!"
"The 772nd Regiment continues to lurk and standby, waiting for attack orders!"
The chief of staff did not leave immediately, but reminded him with a kind face: "Captain Wang, the new second regiment and the infantry regiment are just reorganized from the local army. Although they have eight or nine hundred people, their equipment is very poor. Each regiment
There is only one heavy machine gun platoon and one mortar platoon, and each company only has one light machine gun!"
"Would it be too risky to let them attack the Japanese directly or ambush the Japanese? I'm worried about an accident."
"No problem, I just want to let the Japanese know that the ones attacking Tianxin Town are local troops under our 386th Brigade!" Wang Ping shook his head and affirmed.
Seeing that the chief of staff had not yet understood, Brigadier Chen ordered decisively: "Go and give the order directly, and you will know the reason then!"
A special operations brigade participated in the battle. As soon as the attack began, the New Second Regiment put great pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Tianxin Town.
To be on the safe side, the Japanese captain stationed in Tianxin Town arranged for troops to defend and at the same time sent a telegram asking for help to the head of the county brigade.
The atmosphere at the Japanese brigade headquarters was particularly tense.
Everyone knows that tonight is the decisive night between the brigade and the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
When the brigade commander stared at the map to make sure there were no loopholes in his arrangement, the chief of staff hurried in with a telegram.
One look at his face and the brigade leader realized something was wrong again.
Sure enough, before he opened his mouth, the chief of staff rushed to report: "General, Tianxin Town is under attack by the Eighth Route Army, requesting reinforcements!"
"Tianxin Town! Our other food station!" The brigade leader frowned and shouted subconsciously, then turned his attention to the map.
The chief of staff was very helpful in marking Tianxin Town on the map.
After watching for a few seconds, the brigade leader frowned even deeper.
"What's going on? Why is it Tianxin Town and not Fengling Town? What does the Eighth Route Army want to do? Are they really planning to leave Fengling Town's millions of jins of grain and grab 200,000 jins of grain from Tianxin Town? What on earth are they planning to do?
How did you think of it?"
The chief of staff suddenly interrupted: "No, General, I think the Eighth Route Army's target is still Fengling Town."
"The attack on Tianxin Town is just to deceive others and continue their attacks in the east and west!"
Seeing the brigade commander turning to stare at him, the chief of staff immediately explained: "The Tianxin Town garrison reported that although the Eighth Route Army attacking them had a large number of troops, their equipment was very poor, with few light and heavy machine guns and mortars. But because there were
The special forces of the Eighth Route Army assisted in the attack, so the defensive pressure on the garrison was very high."
"I have concluded that the Eighth Route Army attacking Tianxin Town was not the main force of the 386th Brigade, but their local troops!"
"As for their main force, they are probably lurking around Fengling Town. Once all the mobile troops in our hands are dispatched, these lurking main forces will attack Fengling Town!"
"What you said makes sense!" the brigade leader affirmed after being silent for a few seconds.
Then he made a decision: "Chief of Staff, deploy another reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army, and set off immediately to reinforce Tianxin Town~"
"Other troops are on standby at the east gate to reinforce Fengling Town at any time!"
"Also, the Zhouzhuang garrison has not sent any news for a long time. The reinforcements should have arrived. Contact them immediately and end the battle as soon as possible. Now that we have determined the true purpose of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, we must at least inflict heavy damage on them tonight.
."
It took only ten minutes for the puppet army, which lasted for more than 500 days, to rush out of the county seat and march in a hurry towards Tianxin Town.
"General, the reinforcements have set off!" the chief of staff reported back to the war room.
"If five hundred people go to Tianxin Town, there will be no problem with the security there. Now all we need to do is wait for the main force of the 386th Brigade to emerge, and then send troops to kill them!"
"Send a telegram to Matsumoto. We judge that the main force of the Eighth Route Army is on his side. We ask him to hold Fengling Town and annihilate them all with the cooperation of follow-up reinforcements. At the very least, we must severely damage them and make them lose their combat effectiveness!"
"General, something happened!" Before the chief of staff, who was becoming more and more confident about this decisive battle, had time to give the order, the communications staff's scream came over.
"We have lost contact with the Zhouzhuang garrison, and our radio and telephone contacts have been interrupted!"
"Zhouzhuang is occupied by the Eighth Route Army!" The brigade leader was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously.
The chief of staff was also frightened. He stared at the communications staff officer and asked, "Is it possible that the radio station was blown up by the enemy? The Eighth Route Army is equipped with mortars and accidentally hit the radio station. It is not impossible!"
The communications staff officer immediately replied: "It's possible that I've sent communications soldiers to contact you, and the news will come back within an hour at most."
