Chapter five hundred and seventy-fifth the enemy does not move, I do not move
After handing over the supplies and prisoners to Zhong Chenggong, Wang Ping hurriedly left the breach with more than 140 troops. Carrying only weapons, ammunition and two days of dry food, he took a small road to bypass the Japanese and puppet reinforcements and disappeared again.
In the night.
"Captain, where should we go now?" Xiong Changhe admired Wang Ping from the bottom of his heart. It can be said that if Wang Ping asked him to go west now, he would definitely go west without even frowning.
Following Wang Ping, not only were there battles to be fought, but they were also won with few casualties.
As a soldier, no one is willing to fight with such a commander.
Therefore, while admiring Wang Ping, Xiong Changhe's first thought was that the regiment leader would lead everyone to continue fighting, keep up their efforts, and kill some more Japanese soldiers while it was still dark.
This time, Wang Ping was destined to disappoint Xiong Changhe.
"We're not going to fight anywhere now. We're going to find a place to live and rest for a day first!" Wang Ping answered, shaking his head.
Seeing Xiong Changhe's reluctant expression, Wang Ping interrupted directly: "Comrades have been fighting for two consecutive nights, and they have been fighting over long distances. If you are not tired, the soldiers below are tired too.
Only if you have a good rest will you be able to fight the Japanese with vigor!"
"Also, in the eyes of the Japs, we have retreated back to the mountains. Taking a day's rest and not taking action will just make the Japs more certain that we are back!"
"When their garrisons outside the mountain are completely relaxed, we can seize the opportunity and fight them in a few more annihilation battles!"
The Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, the special operations brigade captain, the chief of staff, the three infantry brigade captains and an artillery brigade captain who stayed in Linfen City all stood in front of Major General Matsumoto without saying a word, and it continued like this.
Almost five minutes.
After finally reading the report sent by the Chief of Staff, Major General Matsumoto remained silent. When he spoke, he startled several of his captains.
"I decided to dispatch troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress the remnants of the new regiment hiding deep in the mountains!"
"The chief of staff should have told everyone what happened at night. A huge challenge has arisen for our brigade."
"Not only were the remnants of the new regiment not completely wiped out by our heavy raids and encirclement, but they continued to grow and develop. Now, they have obtained a large amount of supplies and prisoners and hid them in the mountains. If they are allowed to continue to develop like this,
It won't take long for the new regiment to regain its strength and become our brigade's formidable enemy in Linfen."
"So I decided to kill them before the new group develops again!"
The Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness, equipment, logistical supplies, and heavy firepower...were all inferior to the Japanese army.
In the eyes of these captains, they looked down on the Eighth Route Army from the bottom of their hearts. They would not be afraid of the Eighth Route Army in a real frontal battlefield. But only the mountains made these proud captains feel numb.
It's not like they didn't enter the mountains when they encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army.
However, they all failed in the end and suffered a loss of troops and generals.
Because, in the densely forested mountains, the imperial army's equipment advantages and firepower advantages... are all unable to be used. In many cases, a heavy machine gun or a mortar is not as effective as a grenade.
After suffering several heavy losses, they tried their best to avoid mountain battles with the Eighth Route Army.
It is impossible that Major General Matsumoto did not know the explanation of the Japanese army in the mountains, but he still wanted to fight in the mountains.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone had complex expressions of solemnity and confusion on their faces.
Major General Matsumoto saw everyone's concerns at a glance, frowned and analyzed: "In mountain warfare, ordinary troops will definitely suffer a lot of casualties. Therefore, I will ask special forces who are good at mountain warfare to cooperate with you in this encirclement and suppression campaign.
."
"You have all seen the combat effectiveness of the special forces. They are very suitable for mountain search, tracking, ambush, and counter-ambush. With their cooperation, we will definitely be able to kill the remnants of the new regiment and reduce everyone's casualties to a minimum."
"I decided that the third and fourth infantry brigades, together with a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, would use the squadron as a unit to launch a net-like encirclement and suppression of the mountain where the new regiment was hiding, and completely kill them!"
"The special operations brigade also participates in the battle, ensuring that each infantry squadron has a special operations squad to cooperate in the battle!"
"I will give everyone one day to prepare. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the troops will set off on time!"
"All troops carry ten days of combat supplies. No special food supplies are carried. The battle will be over within ten days!"
After resting for a day and night, Wang Ping had not taken action yet.
"Captain, comrades have all rested. Now everyone is full of energy and morale. They are screaming and want to go out to fight the Japanese!" Xiong Changhe started itching again and wanted to go out to fight. He touched Wang Ping and asked for a fight.
.
"Keep waiting!" Wang Ping replied very calmly, without any fluctuation in the expression on his face.
"But we don't have much dry food in our hands, and we can last at least one day!" Xiong Changhe continued to ask with a look of reluctance.
"I'm going to find a way to get the food out, but I can't do it now!" Wang Ping showed no intention of letting go.
"Why?" Xiong Changhe couldn't help but ask.
Wang Ping replied without thinking: "Because the Japanese have not moved yet, the enemy cannot move, and I cannot move!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, we are carrying a large amount of supplies and prisoners back into the mountains. They cannot remain indifferent!"
"Only when they move and we move again can we disrupt their deployment and make them disorganized."
"At that time, we will be able to change from passive to active, seize the initiative on the battlefield, and lead the enemy by the nose to fight!"
"If we act in front of the Japs, the Japs will know that they have been fooled, and then they will temporarily change their deployment and send out heavy troops to chase and intercept us. Don't forget, we have fought with the Japs for so long and have killed many Japs. However, the Japs' arrangement
The three infantry brigades in Linfen City did not move from beginning to end."
"I won't say too much. As long as the Japs send another infantry brigade out of the city to encircle and suppress us, the pressure will increase dramatically, and the Japs will leave us with fewer and fewer fighter opportunities!"
"But, Commander, what if the Japanese don't move?" Xiong Changhe asked with an expression that seemed to understand.
"That's another question, but I'm sure that the Japs will definitely take action, unless the Japs commander wants to watch us grow and develop under their noses, and once again become a powerful enemy that they cannot kill or exterminate!"
"In a word, if the Japanese don't move, we would rather be a coward than take the initiative. If your hands are really itchy, take a few people out to investigate the enemy's situation and bring back some grain and pork. Comrades can't eat dry food all the time!"
