"Political Commissar, Chongqing is putting us on the fire!" Wang Ping suddenly lost all his pajamas and stared at the chief of staff and said.
Huang Yuanqiang also frowned and acknowledged: "Yes, you are famous, but the Japs must hate us to the core. As expected, our new group must now become the opponents named by the Japs to be eliminated. In this case, we think
It will definitely be more difficult to defend Xiangfen County!"
Wang Ping, who is familiar with history, is very aware of the various difficulties and problems that the Japanese army in North China is facing now. He knows that in the face of the Eighth Route Army's large-scale raids, many local troops have too much to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to attack them in Lai Fen.
As for the mobile troops of the North China Front, they are planning a large-scale retaliatory sweep against the Eighth Route Army. It is impossible to disrupt the entire encirclement and suppression plan for the sake of a new regiment.
After much deliberation, the only person who could threaten him was Major General Kawaguchi, who was still on the front line and was about to take office as the commander of the Linfen Japanese Army Brigade.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he affirmed: "Political Commissar, don't worry, our new regiment exists to fight the Japanese. It doesn't matter to me no matter how violent the revenge is. Therefore, there is definitely no problem in holding Xiangfen County for a month!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the communications platoon leader rushed in again.
"Commander, urgent call from the military region!"
"Intelligence from inside the Japanese army shows that in order to eliminate us, the incoming Japanese brigade commander will rush from the front line to Linfen City in the next two days!"
"The little devil was very cautious. He abandoned the railway and marched to Fen on two legs!"
"The intelligence also said that the leader of the Japanese Brigade was accompanied by a field infantry regiment, a field artillery squadron, and a cavalry brigade, with a total strength of nearly 4,000 people."
"These 4,000-day puppet troops are all veterans who have just retreated from the front line and are battle-hardened. They have very strong combat effectiveness. The military region requires us to be ready for battle!"
The political commissar's brows that had just calmed down suddenly wrinkled: "Seriously, Cao Cao is here! Linfen City has four thousand more veterans, plus the new recruits they are training, there are nearly seven thousand more elites at once, casually
We are no match for half of the troops who came here!"
"Captain, I think we should prepare for war now!"
Wang Ping did not speak, but frowned and stared at the map hanging on the wall.
He also didn't expect that the leader of the Japs Brigade would come ahead of time and bring so many troops with him!
Veterans are different from recruits. On the battlefield, the combat effectiveness of a veteran is equal to that of a recruit. More importantly, veterans have murderous intentions. If they are put into the battlefield, the new regiment with a large proportion of recruits will definitely not be an opponent, even in their own battle.
He is no match for the guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare he specializes in.
At this moment, Wang Ping, who was frowning, had already made a decision in his heart. After the matter in front of him was over, he must think of a way to defeat the enemy and cut off the advantage the little devil had. At the very least,
We need to make up for the current disadvantages of the new group.
Of course, these are all things for later. For me, there is a problem that must be solved immediately!
He frowned and ordered to the political commissar: "Let Li Wen lead the team directly under the team, the reconnaissance platoon, and then transfer a platoon from the mortar platoon directly under the regiment headquarters, and the cavalry battalion will transfer a cavalry platoon composed of veterans, and we will set off tonight.
The only way for the main force of the Japs to reach Linfen City!"
"With a normal march, it would take the Japanese five days to reach Linfen from the front line. Now, I ask Li Wen to find a way to hold them back and slow down their march so that they can reach Linfen in half a month!"
"Also, in addition to the troops I just arranged for Li Wen, if Li Wen himself has any requirements, political commissar, you can satisfy him!"
Huang Yuanqiang's eyes lit up and he replied: "What a good idea!"
"It will take them half a month to hold them back on the road. After arriving in Linfen, the Japanese will definitely have to prepare for it. Then we will find a way to hold them back for a while. The month we promised our superiors will be enough! I will give the order right away!"
When the political commissar returned to the former enemy headquarters, the communications platoon leader rushed in with him, looking excited.
"The urgent telegram from the regiment commander, political commissar, and military region is forwarding a telegram from the headquarters, and it was sent to us from Chongqing!"
Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang began to read the telegram after receiving it. Because the telegram was very long, it took him a full two minutes to read the contents of the telegram.
"Captain, this is indeed good news!"
"From now on, our new regiment will no longer be a gangster. Chongqing officially gave us the establishment of the new regiment of the 386 Brigade. Commander, you have also been appointed as colonel commander by Chongqing, and you are a regiment leader recognized by Chongqing!"
“In addition, Chongqing also awarded us 5,000 yuan and a regiment’s equipment, including 1,200 rifles, nine heavy machine guns, nine mortars, nine rapid-fire cannons, and 27 light machine guns, a whole reinforced regiment.
equipment!"
"However, all the equipment of this regiment is at the World War II Zone Headquarters. Chongqing asked us to go directly to the World War II Zone to get it!"
"The headquarters has given us awards from Chongqing, and also reminded us not to force ourselves to award our oceans and equipment. Let us decide for ourselves whether we can come back if we can, or forget it if we don't come back!"
"After all, it is more than 100 kilometers from Linfen to the World War II zone, and there are Japs in the middle, and you have to pass through the Japs defense line!"
Wang Ping, who had always suppressed his emotions deep in his heart and never showed them, lost his composure for the first time.
Because of the shock, I was stunned for a long time with my mouth open before I could react.
"When did Chongqing become so generous to our Eighth Route Army? The establishment of a regiment, the equipment of a regiment, and an ocean of 10,000 yuan. Did I hear that right?"
Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang obviously wanted to think more. He hesitated and analyzed: "Chongqing is not being generous. It is giving an explanation to the people of the whole country!"
"And I guess they don't have any good intentions in giving us these equipment?"
Wang Ping is obviously more aware of Chongqing's various political methods against the Eighth Route Army.
He immediately said: "I probably thought of it: Do you still remember the political commissar who was clearly telegraphed just now?"
"In the eyes of Chongqing, our new regiment will definitely be wiped out in the enemy's revenge. In this case, why not take out the establishment of a regiment and some weapons and ammunition to give an explanation to the people across the country, so that everyone can see the fairness of the government.
Anyway, even if these equipment and ammunition are in our hands, they will not increase our strength."
"What a plan, Commander, Chongqing must have considered it this way!" the political commissar said with certainty.
Then he asked Wang Ping: "Commander, how should we call back to the headquarters?"
"Tell the headquarters that the weapons and ammunition Chongqing gave us are worth 10,000 yuan. I will definitely get them back. I will find a way to figure out what to do. Please rest assured!"
Two days later, Major General Japanese Kawaguchi set off.
A squadron of cavalry took the lead, followed by infantry. The force of four thousand people stretched for more than two kilometers.
What Major General Kawaguchi didn't know was that as soon as he left the military camp, a pair of eyes were fixed on him!
