Chapter seven hundred and ninety first trap that has to jump
Wang Ping nodded with a smile and approved the analysis of political commissar Huang Yuanqiang.
Zhong Chenggong also showed an expression of sudden realization on his face, but soon, a touch of worry appeared on his face again, and then he stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"Captain, what if the Japs repair the railway and follow the military column to Linfen City? At that time, if we want to rob the military column, we still need to kill these two thousand elite Japs first!"
"Then don't let these two thousand Japanese soldiers come with the army!" Wang Ping replied without hesitation!
"At that time, the Japanese will either choose to let the military column advance alone and quickly pass through the area controlled by our new regiment, or let the military column stay with them in the wilderness for the night, and we will take our time to deal with them at night."
"If you were a Japanese commander, what would you choose?"
"Gamble!" Zhong Chenggong replied without thinking!
"Leave the military column in the wilderness, even if there are two thousand Japanese guards, our new regiment will definitely come to visit. After all, night fighting and mountain fighting are what our Eighth Route Army is good at. And after the Japanese reinforcements lose air support,
Except for armored vehicles and cavalry, we have no disadvantages in other weapons and even have certain advantages."
"In this case, we are at least 60% sure of winning the military column, but the losses and casualties incurred by the troops will be greater."
"If the military train is allowed to quickly pass through our control area, it is possible to return to Linfen. After all, on this section of the railway, there are nearly two thousand puppet troops, patrols, and the Japanese railway garrison..."
"If you think so, the leader of the Japanese Brigade, Matsumoto, will definitely think so too!" Wang Ping replied confidently.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Matsumoto, who had been waiting in the war room, finally received a telegram from the mixed brigade.
"General, the railway damaged by the Eighth Route Army has been repaired and the military trains are ready to set off!" the chief of staff reported excitedly as soon as he rushed into the war room.
Matsumoto quickly glanced at the watch on his arm, and then ordered: "There are still two and a half hours of darkness, and the escort plane has one hour to return. If the speed is faster, it can cover them quickly passing through the new group's control area!"
"
"Order the military column to set off immediately. The reinforcements will be escorted along the way in cars, and the aviation troops will provide continuous escort overhead. We must ensure that the military column safely passes through the area controlled by the New Regiment!"
"Also, give an order to the troops staying in the area controlled by the New Regiment to strengthen their vigilance. The military columns are coming. If something happens, military law will be dealt with!"
Less than twenty minutes after the telegram was sent, the chief of staff rushed back with a solemn look on his face.
"General, something went wrong again!"
"The only way for reinforcements to return to Linfen has been destroyed. Cars and armored vehicles are not allowed to pass. They can only get off their vehicles and march on two legs. But in this case, they will not be able to keep up with the speed of the military columns!"
"Nani!" Major General Matsumoto was stunned for a moment and judged.
"It must be the Eighth Route Army. They want our reinforcements to be separated from the military columns to create opportunities for them to sneak attack on the military columns. Bagya Road, they are so cunning!"
The chief of staff immediately suggested: "General, do you want me to contact the military ranks immediately and ask them to wait for reinforcements to move forward together! It is too dangerous for them to act alone!"
"It's too late!" Matsumoto shook his head and refused, with a very ugly look on his face.
"It will be dark in two hours. If we let them wait for the infantry to advance together, they will not be able to reach Linfen Railway Station all night!"
"Order, the reinforcements march forward! The troops continue to advance, don't stop, and rush to Linfen Railway Station as fast as you can!"
"Order the garrisons, patrols, and the Imperial Alliance Army along the railway to strengthen their vigilance. If any Eighth Route Army troops are found approaching the railway, they must resolutely block it. In the next two hours, no one can approach the railway line. Otherwise, all companies of the Imperial Alliance Army will be
All the above-mentioned officers will be shot, and all officers above the squad leader level in the imperial army will be subject to military law!"
"Finally, contact the aviation force. No matter what, you have to stay above the military column for half an hour, and cover the military column as it passes through the new regiment's control area before returning!"
At the temporary station of the new regiment, all three battalion commanders gathered in front of Wang Ping, waiting for orders.
Without long hesitation, Wang Ping began to issue orders: "The Japanese army column is rushing towards us. As for the Japanese infantry escorting the army column, because the guard company and engineer platoon destroyed the road in advance, they were all left behind. So
,The only Japanese and puppet troops we have to face next are the enemies along the railway and the escorts on the military trains."
"The battle begins on time with the explosion on the railway as a signal!"
"The explosion sounded. The second battalion directly attacked directly and eliminated all the Japanese and puppet troops near the military column. Then they took down the military column and covered the political commissar to organize the fellow villagers to carry food!"
"Third Battalion, launch an attack to the west of the Second Battalion. After clearing out the Japanese and puppet troops in front of them, they will continue to attack to the west along the railway line. After taking five kilometers of railway line in a row, they will organize defenses on the spot. It is possible to block the direction of Linfen.
All the Japanese and puppet reinforcements sent!"
"The fourth battalion is attacking to the east of the second battalion. The mission is the same as that of the third battalion. What you need to stop is the nearly two thousand main force that the Japanese army transferred at noon. They include armored troops and cavalry, and their offensive capabilities are very strong. Therefore, I do not ask you to
The attack should stop after five kilometers, but attack all the way to the terrain that is conducive to blocking the attack. Stop, rush to repair the fortifications, and prepare for the fierce Japanese attack!"
"Political Commissar, you must hurry up and the troops must retreat before dawn!"
When it was less than an hour before dark, Wang Ping finally heard the huge roar of the military columns.
Not long after, the ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly.
"The Japanese army is here, the whole regiment is ready for battle!" Wang Ping's face quickly became serious.
"Buzz buzz..."
At this moment, a huge roar came from far and near.
"It's a Japanese plane, commander. The Japanese plane hasn't left yet. If we attack now, the attacking troops will definitely be bombed by planes and suffer heavy losses!"
Wang Ping's reaction speed was very fast, and he made a decision with a frown.
"The engineer blasting continues, the main force suspends the attack!"
"It's getting dark, and the Japanese planes can't hold on for long. Let's wait until the Japanese planes leave before attacking!"
"Will it be too late?" Zhong Chenggong reminded him with a worried look on his face.
"There's enough time!" Wang Ping replied firmly.
"Linfen City will definitely not be able to send many reinforcements. The main force of the Japs to the east is still more than 20 kilometers away, and the urgent march will take nearly four hours. What we need to eliminate is the Japanese and puppet troops in front of us. Attack ten or twenty minutes earlier and
Attacking one or twenty minutes later doesn’t make much difference!”
"Boom, boom..." Amidst the huge roar, the Japanese military column puffed out white smoke and slowly entered Wang Ping's field of vision. The speed was very fast. It was obvious that they wanted to rush through the railway section of the Xinyi Regiment's control area as quickly as possible.
Not only was Wang Ping not in a hurry, but he also showed a sneer.
"The speed is so fast, the little devil will die in battle!"
