"Bageya Road and Tubal Road are not soldiers at all, they are just a bunch of bandits, bandits who rob everything!" Seeing that most of the Japanese corpses in the stronghold and streets were naked, one can imagine the anger of the Japanese captain.
He pulled out his command knife and split a wooden stake next to him into two, then cursed loudly regardless of his identity.
The squadron leader next to him also held back his anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. He frowned and suggested: "Sir, do you want to chase them down immediately?"
"Judging from the rut marks, they have just left not long ago, and they brought a lot of supplies with them. The marching speed must not be fast!"
During this time, the Japanese troops in Linfen had been frightened by the New Regiment. The New Regiment's elusive fighting style and various strange tactics they could not imagine had made the Japanese full of fear.
Especially at night, no Japanese commander is willing to fight Wang Ping unless absolutely necessary, unless there is absolute certainty or a military advantage.
But right now, I obviously don't have this advantage.
There is only one infantry squadron and one battalion of the Imperial Association Army behind him. The Fengyun Town stronghold has more defenders than itself, and there are also solid strongholds for defense. This makes them no match for the new regiment, let alone themselves.
Therefore, although the Japanese captain was holding back his anger, the last bit of reason in his mind still told him not to be impulsive.
He frowned and then decisively refused: "We can't chase! The enemy is too cunning, well-equipped, and powerful in combat. No one knows what traps are waiting for us on the pursuit road!"
"Also, we don't have enough troops. If the new regiment can kill one of our reinforcement squadrons, two garrison squads and five companies of the Imperial Association Army within a few hours, it will be able to kill us in a short time!"
"We all underestimated the strength of our opponents. It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to kill so many of our troops in such a short period of time. With the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely impossible for there to be only more than a hundred people. Even the most elite infantry squadron of the brigade will not be able to kill them under such circumstances.
It is impossible to achieve such great results, let alone the Eighth Route Army with poor equipment!"
With more than 500 puppet prisoners and nearly 20 large vehicles, the new group's evacuation team from Fengyun Town stretched for more than 500 meters.
Under this situation, the limited troops of the new regiment had to go into battle, patrolling back and forth in the middle of the team with rifles, and being vigilant.
Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe were not idle either. After patrolling in the middle of the team, they immediately caught up with Wang Ping.
"Captain, Tang Guangxin just sent someone back to report that the Japanese reinforcements did not send anyone to pursue him. You were right again!" Xiong Changhe reported excitedly as soon as he saw Wang Ping.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked with eagerness: "Captain, how did you do it?"
"Tonight's battle, from the very beginning, the Japanese were under your control!"
"How can you be sure that the Japanese will definitely send troops to reinforce the puppet army? How can you be sure that the Japanese will send a second wave of reinforcements after the first wave of reinforcements were ambushed by us!"
"There are also Japanese reinforcements coming from the county. How can you be sure that they will not hunt us down?"
Xiao Yunshan also stared at Wang Ping with a pair of longing eyes, wanting to know the answer!
Wang Ping did not hide anything and answered directly: "It's very simple. I'm sure that the Japanese don't understand the true situation of our new regiment! Every time they underestimate us, they will pay the price until they truly know us and value us!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, our new regiment is just a unit composed of more than a hundred remnants. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it can't be much better!"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe both stared at Wang Ping with puzzled eyes and asked.
"Of course not, at least not now!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"When we first sent out troops, our new regiment did have more than a hundred remnants. But now, I can be sure that it is not the case. Whether it is the battle last night or the battle tonight, it is not the case!"
"The most intuitive explanation is firepower, the firepower our new regiment has!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, our new regiment of more than 100 people is equipped with two or three light machine guns, and its combat effectiveness is equivalent to one of their infantry squads. But in fact, our new regiment not only has light machine guns, but also heavy machine guns and
In terms of the number of machine guns, they have more mortars than an infantry squadron. On the battlefield, the powerful firepower can completely make up for the lack of our troops, allowing our new regiment to exert the power of a main battalion or even more troops.
Fighting power!"
"And the devils don't know all this!"
"The Japs don't know our true strength, and they are arrogant and arrogant. They look down on our New Group and want to kill us. This means that the Japs are destined to fail again and again when facing us."
"And it is precisely because I know this, understand the Japanese, and understand the opponent that I can accurately predict what the Japanese will do next in battle after battle, and then make arrangements in advance to catch the enemy off guard!"
Xiong Changhe's face slowly showed an expression of realization: "It's true!"
"Take tonight's battle as an example. The reason why the Japanese sent out two reinforcements in succession is that they must have thought that our new regiment did not have enough troops and did not have the strength to ambush them. Then they had the idea of attacking our target and destroying us.
Then we sent troops!"
"Yes, this is the main reason!" Wang Ping affirmed.
At the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City, although it was already four o'clock in the morning, Major General Matsumoto was not sleepy at all.
Fengyun Town Stronghold, a large stronghold that no one expected to be attacked by a new group. When the news reached the headquarters, many people did not believe it.
Major Fujino sent two telegrams asking for help before they believed it. Their first reaction was that the New Regiment was crazy. The commander of Fengyun Town stronghold, Major Fujino, was making too much fuss. More than 800 defenders faced more than 100 New Regiment.
If the remnants of the attack cannot even defend the stronghold, then Major Fujino might as well apologize to His Majesty the Emperor directly.
It was not until Major Fujino reported the battle to the headquarters that these people realized the seriousness of the problem and woke up Major General Matsumoto.
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Matsumoto could see the mistakes made by Major Fujino at a glance.
Arrogant, underestimating the enemy...
By the time his reminder telegram was delivered to Major Fujino, the second wave of reinforcements sent by Major Fujino had already been ambushed.
After receiving Fujino's call back, Major General Matsumoto's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that the Fengyun Town stronghold was in danger.
Although there were not many troops in Linfen City, an infantry squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Association Army were dispatched for an emergency march to reinforce Fengyun Town.
After the reinforcements were dispatched, Major General Matsumoto stayed at the headquarters and waited for news.
Although he had realized that the possibility of Fujino holding Fengyun Town was slim, he still held on to hope.
Because after the Fengyun Town stronghold was lost, the great changes and pressure it brought to the entire Linfen were too great, and even changed the entire situation of Linfen.
