At the temporary base of the new regiment, Zhong Chenggong returned to the headquarters, looked at Wang Ping, and then at the telegram in his hand. He was stunned for almost half a minute before he came to his senses.
The content of the telegram really shocked him.
Less than a hundred people went out, and within a month it grew to nearly a thousand people, and most of them were veterans. The word "miracle" cannot be overstated.
And the initiator of all this was Wang Ping standing in front of him.
Even though everyone was dissatisfied, he insisted on sending them out and gave them several days of lessons. He taught them how to survive outside the mountains, how to build a team, and develop and grow under the noses of the Japanese.
"Captain, this is so shocking. The Rong Army actually holds six companies of troops, which is more than what we have now." Zhong Chenggong did not forget that the regiment commander was still waiting for this telegram and handed it over directly.
Tell Wang Ping.
For a moment, Wang Ping was also frightened by the contents of the telegram.
I quickly developed a feeling of admiration for Rong Jun, whom I had only met a few times.
But he soon calmed down, stared at the map for a minute and then decided: "Since Rong Jun is so confident, then I will give him a hard nut to chew on!"
"Chief of Staff, call back to Rongjun: "Start the operation tomorrow and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town in two days!"
"Captain, think twice!" Zhong Chenggong was stunned for a moment and then objected.
"Even if the Invalids have nearly a thousand men, their combat effectiveness is pretty good, but they don't have heavy weapons."
"The Japanese army in Fengyun Town has one garrison squadron and three garrison squads, nearly 400 people. In addition, there are nearly two battalions of puppet troops. More importantly, they have strongholds and gun towers to defend. Let the Rongjun rashly
If we launch an attack, we can only risk lives, the casualties will be too high!"
"Then Chief of Staff, you underestimate the Rongjun too much!" Wang Ping continued to order unmoved.
"To be able to develop the troops like this surrounded by heavy Japanese and puppet troops, his command ability is not as simple as we imagined!"
"A strong attack is the most unwise choice. I believe that the Rongjun will not do this!"
"Add a sentence to the telegram to the Invalids, make good use of their status as a maintenance association, and eliminate the enemy with minimal casualties. If this is not possible, send a telegram directly to the regiment headquarters, but don't be impulsive!"
The four newly formed battalions all had missions, and Xiong Changhe, who had been sullen and silent just now, couldn't help it anymore.
Chased Wang Ping and asked: "Captain! What about us?"
"Relieve the pressure on the Second Battalion!" Wang Ping replied.
Xiong Changhe knew that the group leader must have an idea, so he continued to ask: "How to reduce it!"
"Let's play a big game with the Japanese! Doesn't Matsumoto want to kill our Second Battalion on the way to Linfen North? Then let's go straight to his lair and cut off the retreat of all his frontline troops!"
"Attack Linfen City?" Zhong Chenggong was the first to react.
"Yes, it's Linfen City. The only way to attack Linfen is to make the Japanese feel the pain and then move the frontline troops back." Wang Ping affirmed.
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong and the two battalion commanders next to him were all frightened by Wang Ping's boldness and looked worried.
However, none of the three people directly expressed opposition.
They know Wang Ping's temper and character well, and if he really decides, even ten horses won't be able to pull him back.
Instead of persuading, it is better to think about whether this decision is feasible.
It's obvious that they don't think this decision is feasible, as can be seen from the increasingly worried expressions on their faces.
Wang Ping immediately stood up and explained: "Don't worry, the attack on Linfen I said was not really a attack!"
"Even if the main force of the Japs comes out, there are still more than a thousand Japs in Linfen City. Our two battalions and the troops directly under the regiment have only a thousand people in total, and there are no siege artillery. Even if the whole regiment is exhausted, there will only be
I can scratch the itch of the devils in the city!"
Zhong Chenggong asked in confusion: "Then how to fight! If they can't make the Japanese feel heartbroken, they will definitely not send troops back to help. They will destroy our second battalion first and then turn around to deal with us!"
"You will know exactly how to fight when the time comes!" Wang Ping did not give a specific answer.
On the road less than ten miles away from the new regiment's station, gun towers built along the road, one every five kilometers, stood on the side of the road.
In the nearest blockhouse, there were only three puppet soldiers huddled in the corner on the top of the blockhouse on duty, while the others were all hiding inside the blockhouse and sleeping soundly.
Before dark, they received a notification from their superiors. It only took one day for the main force to severely damage the new group that came out of the mountain. At this rate, it wouldn't take long for the new group to completely disappear in Linfen.
This news made them very excited and completely relaxed.
From the moment they stationed themselves in the turret at their feet, they had been in a state of nervous tension, fearing that their turret would be attacked and lose their lives here.
Now as soon as I relax, all kinds of tired feelings come over me.
So, as soon as it got dark, they began to sleep and rest.
The three puppet soldiers on duty also became less vigilant in this atmosphere.
The entire artillery tower was completely undefended for the Eighth Route Army.
"Demoman, go ahead, get as close as possible to the turret. The Japanese and puppet troops are all asleep, so it's best to blow them up directly!" Xiong Changhe, who was lying less than a hundred meters away from the turret, ordered in a low voice.
"Aim all light and heavy machine guns at the shooting holes. Once the demolitionists are exposed, shoot immediately and cover them as they retreat. When the regimental commander arrives, directly use infantry artillery to bombard them!"
The Japanese and puppet troops in the artillery tower were so relaxed that even small movements outside did not attract their attention.
Xiong Changhe stared at the Demoman closely, his heart already in his throat due to nervousness.
Especially the sound caused by the accident when the demolition crew approached the turret. He frowned every time it came, fearing that the Japanese in the turret would be alerted.
In the last twenty meters, what Xiong Changhe was most worried about happened.
"There's someone outside!" The puppet soldiers suddenly shouted from the top of the turret.
Then three puppet soldiers popped up from the top of the gun tower.
"Shoot!" Xiong Changhe ordered decisively.
"Demoman, get back now, retreat!"
"Click, click, click..." The three heavy machine guns beside him fired rapidly, and the bullets flew towards the turret as in the afternoon.
The three sleepy-eyed puppet soldiers had just shown shocked expressions when bullets ripped into their upper bodies.
"Get back, get back immediately!" Xiong Changhe shouted with a frown when he saw that several demolitioners did not retreat, but rushed forward desperately with explosive packs on their shoulders.
They didn't stop and continued to rush forward.
Xiong Changhe suddenly understood their thoughts.
There are still twenty meters away from the gun tower. No one will be willing to retreat like this.
In addition, it would take time for the Japanese in the blockhouse to react, so they decided to take a gamble.
When his subordinates decided to make a bet, he definitely supported it and loudly ordered: "Fire all machine guns and suppress all shooting holes!"
