After an hour of mobilization, more than 30 new recruits, as if they had been given a shot of blood, clamored for joining the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.
The change in just one hour made Wang Daoshan stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Captain, how did you come up with these methods? It's so amazing. With just a few words, you boosted the morale of these captive soldiers!"
Wang Ping did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "Don't worry about where I learned it. I just want to know if you remember the method just now. In the next battle, we will definitely have many prisoners. Our new group will
The key to whether the regiment can develop and grow in battle is whether Wang Daoshan can successfully transform those prisoners into qualified Eighth Route Army soldiers, and then replenish the troops in time and train the troops in battle!"
"Captain, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!" Wang Daoshan replied confidently.
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, the information Major General Matsumoto wanted finally arrived.
After quickly reading the telegram, Major General Matsumoto's expression was very complicated, including heaviness, excitement, and worry.
"General, do you know Wang Ping, the newly appointed commander of the new regiment?" the chief of staff asked immediately after seeing Matsumoto's expression clearly.
"He is the old rival I told you about. He is very proficient in special operations. The special forces he trained are no worse than those I trained. He is a true special forces commander!"
"It is challenging to fight against such an opponent. I failed to kill him when I was the captain of the special force. Now that we are in the field unit together, and we are a face-to-face opponent, I must kill him!"
"Is he really that powerful?" The chief of staff admired Major General Matsumoto's methods and commanding ability very much. Seeing that Matsumoto was full of admiration for Wang Ping, and even lost to him once, the chief of staff was directly shocked, and then his face
I asked in disbelief!
Matsumoto sneered and asked: "If he is not powerful, can he lead a new regiment of more than 200 remaining soldiers to turn defeat into victory under our heavy encirclement and suppression, and achieve this situation?"
"I'm sure that Wang Ping is among the new group outside the mountain!"
"This time, no matter what the price, we must kill him!"
Having said this, Matsumoto's face instantly became serious.
With his eyes fixed on the sand table, he asked the chief of staff: "Are the mobile units of the two reinforced squadrons ready?"
"Hi!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
"Each additional squadron strengthens a cavalry squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and a mortar squad. In addition, in order to enhance their mobility, I assigned each squadron a baggage squad horse to help transport heavy weapons and
ammunition!"
"Yoshi! This arrangement is very good!" A rare smile appeared on Matsumoto's rarely serious face.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decisively ordered: "Most of our strongholds outside the city are not equipped with radio stations, so we can only contact the headquarters by phone. If the phone line is cut off, even if they are attacked, they will have no way to notify the headquarters.
Therefore, from now on, every hour, the headquarters will take the initiative to contact the strongholds outside the city. If the contact is interrupted, this stronghold is likely to be attacked by a new group!"
"The mobile troops are ready to attack. As soon as my order is issued, they must rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time, otherwise military law will be imposed!"
The chief of staff was stunned and immediately asked: "General, are you going to personally command the battle tonight?"
"An old rival is here, of course I have to give him a meeting gift." Major General Matsumoto affirmed without hesitation.
"If we let him continue his unscrupulous attack in Linfen City, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"
It was just getting dark, and after dinner, Matsumoto was sitting in his own seat in the war room. When he was resting with his eyes closed, the word "report" that he had been waiting for for a long time finally sounded in the war room.
"General, we have lost contact with the Quanfeng Town stronghold. The telephone operator called three times in a row but there is no response!"
Matsumoto's eyes, which had been closed just now, suddenly opened. He stood up from his seat and strode to the sand table.
The clever combat staff immediately marked the specific location of Quanfeng Town on the sand table.
By the way, he reported: "General, we have stationed a reinforced team and a company of the Imperial Alliance Army at the stronghold of Quanfeng Town. The heavy weapons include a heavy machine gun and a mortar!"
Matsumoto analyzed with a calm face: "It's too far away from Linfen City, nearly twenty kilometers. By the time our mobile troops kill them, the new group that attacked them must have run away. Is there any other garrison nearby that can reinforce Quanfeng!"
"Yes, there is a squadron of the Imperial Army and two companies of the Imperial Association Army stationed here. It is less than ten kilometers away from Quanfeng Town. You can kill them by marching in an hour and a half!" The chief of staff immediately pointed to another position on the sand table.
introduced.
"It's them!" A sneer flashed across Major General Matsumoto's lips.
Then he began to issue orders: "Send a telegram to the garrison in Shimiao Town. Leave one company of the Imperial Association Army to defend the entire stronghold, and all other troops will be dispatched to march urgently to reinforce Quanfeng Town!"
"If the new regiment is besieging the city for reinforcements, or attacking from the east to the west, the stronghold of Shimiao Town, which is defended by only one company of the Imperial Association Army, will definitely not be able to hold the stronghold. General, think twice!" The chief of staff raised his concerns with a frown!
"I just want to let Wang Ping of the new regiment know that our Shimiao Town is empty of troops, and then dispatch the main force to attack Shimiao Town!" Major General Matsumoto replied with a sneer.
Seeing the puzzled look on the chief of staff's face, Matsumoto did not explain, but directly ordered: "Immediately execute the order. If nothing else, the Shimiao Town stronghold is the first big gift I have prepared for my old rival."
The arrogance of the Japanese army destined them to not have a long memory on the battlefield.
Just last night, they suffered the loss of luring the enemy in. Tonight, the Japanese at the Quanfeng Town stronghold made another mistake on the same issue.
Of course, this is not because the Japs in Quanfeng Town are stupid, but because Wang Ping is too cunning.
Before dawn, Wang Ping took action.
After learning that the nearby maintenance meeting was preparing to send food, wine and meat to the stronghold in the afternoon to reward the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the Quanfeng Town stronghold, Wang Ping directly decided to lure the enemy in under their noses with a trick.
The only way to enter the stronghold is through a hilly area of 700 to 800 meters outside the stronghold.
Although the hills are very short, the highest mountain slope is only thirty or forty meters above sea level.
But because there are thick shrubs growing on it, there is no problem hiding more than a hundred people.
The Maintenance Association, carrying two carriages loaded with food, wine and meat, had just walked out of the hills and entered the sight of the Japanese stronghold. A burst of gunfire broke the tranquility of Quanfeng Town.
The eight traitors who were protecting the cart were all beaten to death before they could hold on for even a minute. Then more than a dozen Eighth Route Army troops came out of the bushes next to the road and swept the battlefield in a hurry, hoping to quickly capture the goods.
leave.
After all, this ambush was fought under the noses of the Japanese.
