"You are right, Linfen must not be lost. As long as we have troops operating in Linyi, we can cut off the Tongpu Railway at any time. This will be of vital use to the entire North China War of Resistance!" The deputy commander-in-chief's expression was unconscious.
became serious.
Then he continued: "Brigadier Chen also realized this, so he planned to let the new regiment fight back to Linfen."
"However, the New First Regiment still lacks a commander, and the opponent the New First Regiment faces after returning to Linfen is Matsumoto, who is very good at special operations. Brigadier Chen and the others directly thought of you and wanted you to become the New First Regiment.
Regiment Commander, but we don’t have any reinforcements for you!”
"In other words, when you arrive at the New Regiment, you only have more than 200 remaining soldiers, and you are still short of food and ammunition. What's more important is that there are thousands of Japanese puppet troops surrounding the New Regiment, keeping an eye on the New Regiment all the time.
, be ready to pounce at any time, take a bite, and completely kill the new group!"
"In this case, you go to the New Regiment not only to ensure that the troops are not eaten up by the Japanese, but also to allow the New Regiment to develop and grow again, control the vast rural areas of Linfen, and have the capital to fight against the Japanese!"
The deputy chief of staff said: "I have discussed with the boss. Now that the training of the special operations brigade has been formalized, Huang Yuanqiang of the 1st Squadron is a good prospect and can definitely take over the position of captain. Therefore, we have no objections. The key is
Look at you!”
"I agree to go to the New Regiment, but I want to bring someone from the special operations team there and make him the leader of the new regiment's special operations unit!" Wang Ping made a decision quickly.
Now that the Japanese special forces have been disbanded, they will definitely not achieve any great achievements if they stay in the special operations brigade. Instead of doing this, it is better to go down to the field troops.
As for another reason, it's because of Matsumoto.
Matsumoto was so cunning. Wang Ping regretted letting him slip away last time for a long time.
Wang Ping was certain that with Matsumoto's ability and understanding of the Eighth Route Army, as long as he was given time, he would definitely grow into a formidable enemy of the Eighth Route Army.
Since this Matsumoto is in Linfen, Wang Ping must chase him and kill him while he is still the brigade commander and before he becomes the division commander.
Because the New Regiment was in danger, Wang Ping did not take a detour to report to the 386 Brigade Headquarters, but directly used the location provided by the 386 Brigade to kill the mountain where the New Regiment was hiding.
With Wang Ping, there was only one commando from the Special Forces Brigade, Li Wen, a young member of the special forces whom Wang Ping was very optimistic about.
As for the others, despite Huang Yuanqiang's repeated requests, Wang Ping still didn't take any of them.
Armed only with a letter of appointment, a spear for each person, and a long spear, Wang Ping set off.
"Captain, have you confirmed that the remnants of the new regiment are in the mountains below us! How come there is no sign of human activity? It is simply more desolate than the mountains where our special operations team trains!" Looking at the completely roadless mountains at our feet,
Li Wen asked with a frown.
"As long as they haven't moved in the past few days, they should be in a valley five kilometers ahead!" Wang Ping replied with a frown on his face, his face looking very ugly.
"Still in front? No one has moved here at all, how did they find this place!" Li Wen was shocked and continued with a frown.
"I must have been beaten too badly by the Japanese and forced too hard. I had no choice but to hide in such deep mountains and old forests!" Wang Ping pointed out the key to the problem.
Then I had a very bad premonition in my heart.
Especially when I saw that the further I walked, the denser the forest next to me, and that I couldn't even see the sun, this bad premonition became stronger.
"The situation of the new regiment must be worse than what was reported by the 386 brigade commander, otherwise the Japanese would not have been chased all the way into such deep mountains and old forests!" Wang Ping thought to himself, and the further he walked, the more certain he was in his judgment.
The two of them walked five kilometers for two hours before they found some signs of human activity.
"Captain, there are people moving here, and there are quite a few of them. As long as the new group has not evacuated, they must be here!" Li Wen finally relaxed his tense nerves and reported with a long sigh of relief.
"There's someone in front!" Wang Ping didn't answer, dragging Li Wen and throwing him to the ground subconsciously.
Normally, Wang Ping would have taken out his pistol and fired a string of bullets at the suspicious target he found, beating his opponent into a sieve.
But because he knew they were from the new group, Wang Ping chose to lie down and wait for the other party to rush out before talking.
"Don't move!" As soon as he finished speaking, three people appeared from the woods next to him!
Yes, there were three people. If the other party hadn't been holding rifles in their hands and wearing tattered military uniforms, Wang Ping would have almost mistaken them for three savages.
"We won't move! Don't worry, comrade, we are not bad people, we are our own people!" Li Wen quickly explained!
"Throw the guns over here first, pistols, rifles, all of them, and grenades!" The other party did not relax his vigilance because of the words "own people", pointed the gun at Wang Ping and Li Wen, and continued to order.
Wang Ping quickly stopped Li Wen who wanted to continue talking.
"Give them the gun to avoid any misunderstanding. They must have been frightened by the enemy sneak attack during this period. It is normal to be cautious. When they meet their deputy battalion commander Zhong, everything will become clear!"
"Do you know our deputy battalion commander!" One of the soldiers asked, staring at Wang Ping.
"Zhong Chenggong, deputy commander of the first battalion of the new first regiment, was transferred from the 772nd regiment a year ago, and served as the deputy commander of the second battalion and fourth company of the 772nd regiment!" Wang Ping immediately told what he knew.
This soldier was obviously very familiar with Zhong Chenggong. After hearing Wang Ping's answer, and all the long and short guns on Wang Ping's body, he immediately ordered the remaining two soldiers to put down their guns, and then explained: "Comrade, there is no way.
, this is a rule set by our deputy battalion commander. And you were right just now, we were indeed attacked by Japanese soldiers some time ago, and the enemy was wearing our Eighth Route Army uniform, so we stepped up our vigilance.
After being taken to the temporary base of the New Regiment, the image that instantly popped into Wang Ping's mind was that of a refugee camp.
It's much, much worse than a refugee camp.
A dozen shacks made of branches and rotten leaves forming a circle form a new group of temporary barracks.
In the open space in the middle of the barracks, the only place with sunlight, dozens of bandages with blood on them were hanging there to dry. It didn't take a guess to know that there were many seriously injured people living here.
Looking at the soldiers moving around the camp, no one's uniform is intact.
What's more important is everyone's spirit. Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. From them, Wang Ping didn't see any morale that a soldier should have.
All of them had a depressed expression. Some even had an expression of confusion and despair on their faces.
When Wang Ping rushed here, he happened to meet them making lunch.
There were two large pots in total. In one large pot, millet porridge was boiled. It was very thin and almost no rice grains could be seen.
Another large pot was slowly cooking a large pot of wild vegetables, and there were also no rice grains in it.
If Wang Ping guessed correctly, the millet porridge must be for the lightly or seriously injured. As for the wild vegetables, it is for everyone. And judging from the sallow complexion and the looks of malnutrition on everyone's face, it is certain that everyone has been eating wild vegetable soup for more than a day!
