After hesitating for a long time, the deputy captain did not answer the captain, but asked a question that the troops would soon face.
"Sir, the troops have suffered heavy losses. Should we continue to move forward?"
"Go ahead and die!" the captain, who was holding back his anger, replied angrily.
The deputy captain thought for a moment and replied: "The Imperial Association Army still has nearly one regiment of troops. Sir, they can also fight!"
"It's just them!" A mocking expression appeared on the captain's face.
"There are not enough imperial troops to supervise the battle. Are you sure that they will not betray the imperial army and surrender to the enemy on the battlefield when facing the Eighth Route Army?"
"This!" the vice-captain hesitated.
For one day and one night, although the Imperial Alliance Army suffered no losses, the losses suffered by the Imperial Army were obviously greater than the fear caused by their own loss of soldiers and generals.
The vice-captain could see that they were full of fear of the new group that had not really appeared on the battlefield yet.
If they go to the battlefield under such circumstances, it is very likely that they will betray the imperial army and surrender to the Eighth Route Army as the captain mentioned.
The captain did not give his deputy much time to think. He frowned and ordered: "Assemble the troops, bring the wounded, change the rear team to the front team, and retreat immediately. Go directly to Linfen City, which is close, the sooner the better!"
The guard company, reconnaissance platoon, engineer platoon... more than two hundred people had just finished gathering when Xiong Changhe rushed over.
"Captain, good news, the Japanese have retreated!"
"Withdraw!" Wang Ping asked with a look of disbelief.
Then he rushed towards the slope where everyone was hiding just now.
"The Japanese are indeed retreating, commander, we have won!" Zhong Chenggong, who was following behind, shouted with excitement.
Xiong Changhe followed closely and added: "Commander, since the Japanese have retreated and abandoned Tianxin Town, we might as well build a base here!"
There was no smile on Wang Ping's face, but his brows were furrowed.
He frowned and asked, "Build a base area? Who told you that the Japanese had abandoned Tianxin Town!"
"Isn't it true? They have already evacuated, how can they come back?" Xiong Changhe asked rhetorically.
"Of course we will call back, and it will be very soon!" Wang Ping affirmed.
Both Zhong Chenggong and Xiong Changhe had puzzled expressions on their faces.
After Wang Ping sighed deeply, he explained with a stern face: "Our opponent is very smart."
"Although there are more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops on the road, there should be less than 300 real Japs left. If these people continue to move forward, they will definitely bring food to us. Especially a regiment of puppet troops,
Maybe you can bring us more than half of the regiment's new recruits!"
"He saw it clearly and chose to retreat."
"But don't forget, as long as we don't annihilate them all. After returning to Linfen City, just add a few hundred Japanese to come in, and the troops will be able to quickly regain their combat effectiveness and then come back to fight against us!"
"With the experience and lessons learned this time, once the Japanese invaders come back, it will be difficult for us to sneak attack them on the road and destroy them. At that time, we will have to rely on two incomplete infantry battalions to resist the two thousand elite puppet troops. This way
Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"It's really possible!" Zhong Chenggong and Xiong Changhe's expressions became solemn.
At this time, Xiong Changhe suddenly suggested: "Commander, what if we annihilate them all?"
"Then the Japanese will re-evaluate our strength. Even if they want to return to Tianxin Town to encircle us, they will have to mobilize new troops, and the number of troops will be far more than 2,000." Zhong Chenggong's eyes lit up.
interface channel.
And with his eyes shining, he analyzed: "Let's not mention that the Japs in Linfen City have limited troops and cannot mobilize their troops to attack us. Even if they can mobilize their troops, we will be fine in the face of new troops who have never fought against us.
Hit a lot!”
"But!" Zhong Chenggong suddenly let out a long sigh before continuing.
"The Japs have begun to retreat now. From here to Linfen City, as long as they hurry up and march, they will arrive at eight o'clock tonight. We have no chance to kill them!"
Xiong Changhe's newly ignited hope was also shattered, and he frowned and said nothing.
Wang Ping suddenly said: "No, we still have a chance!"
"Since you have seen the huge gap between annihilating them completely and not annihilating them completely, I won't talk nonsense. Now, after more than 2,000 days of puppet troops, the tiger has been beaten into a sick cat by us, and it is finally time to close the net.
Sometimes, you actually want to run away, that’s just wishful thinking!”
"Of course, even if they really want to live, they can, but they must leave something for us."
"Since we came out of the mountain, including the Second Battalion, our losses have been not less than one thousand, but seven or eight hundred. As for ammunition, our reserves are almost exhausted. With such a huge loss, if we don't get some benefits from the Japanese, we will suffer a big loss.
!”
Xiong Changhe and Wang Ping asked: "Captain, you have a solution!"
"Take your battalion and set off now. I don't care what method you use, you must get in front of the Japanese and destroy the only way for the Japanese to return to Linfen!"
"The Japs are equipped with mountain artillery and infantry artillery, as well as a dozen large vehicles loaded with ammunition and corpses. They can only use roads!"
"If the road is destroyed, they will have to march while repairing it, unless they give up all their heavy weapons and heavy vehicles, as well as hundreds of corpses!"
Xiong Changhe reacted quickly and shouted with excitement.
"The Japs will definitely not give up hundreds of corpses unless their commander no longer wants to live!"
"Captain, your method is definitely feasible, I'll set off now!"
Wang Ping continued to order: "Chief of Staff, as long as you delay the Japs until night and avoid the annoying Japs planes overhead, I will have a way to kill them!"
"So, contact the third battalion commander immediately, bring all the troops and light and heavy weapons that can fight, divide the troops and assemble here!"
Wang Ping pointed to a point on the map and said very confidently.
At this moment, the communications platoon leader suddenly walked over with a solemn look on his face.
Wang Ping's good mood just now disappeared all of a sudden, and he had a very bad premonition.
He stared at the communications platoon leader and asked: "Is it the second battalion or the fourth battalion?"
"Fourth Battalion, the commander of the fourth battalion sent an urgent message. The Japanese have transferred the first brigade on the blockade to deal with them. They have now entered Fengyun Town and are about to engage in firefights with them!" the communications platoon leader replied immediately.
"The First Battalion is the well-deserved main force of the Japanese. It has rich combat experience and has been standing outside the mountains to fight with us. It knows us very well. The Fourth Battalion has met its opponent!" Wang Ping sighed and answered helplessly.
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also furrowed his brows: "The Japanese are coming so fiercely that they directly mobilized troops from behind the Fourth Battalion. The Fourth Battalion certainly didn't expect it!"
