After the order was issued, Wang Ping continued to ask: "Is there any other news?"
"Yes!" the communications platoon leader replied immediately.
"Commander Yan of the third battalion reported that the Japanese and puppet troops they were responsible for harassing suddenly turned around and marched back to Xiangfen County. They were trying to slow down their march! Commander Yan also said that if the regiment headquarters could give him another battalion,
He will have a way to kill the Japanese on their way back!"
"God is really helping me!" Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.
"In order to hold back the three infantry brigades of the little Japs, our first, second, and fourth main battalions would definitely suffer heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the Japs immediately sent an infantry brigade to our lips to make up for our losses!"
"Platoon Leader Yang, you immediately send a telegram to the commander, forward the original text of Yan Song's report to the commander, and ask the commander to choose the battlefield and kill them...then call Yan Song back and ask him to contact the commander proactively.
From now on, his third battalion will obey the command of the commander!"
"Yes, leader..."
After watching the communications platoon leader rush out of the war room, Wang Ping immediately turned his attention to Jin Kai.
"Captain, are you about to start an attack?" He came in and met Wang Ping's look at him, his eyes shining as he asked.
Wang Ping nodded and ordered: "Order the troops to prepare for battle. The cooking team should seize the time to prepare dinner. The Japanese plane will not be able to come out in two hours. Try to eat in one hour and set off in two hours!"
He came in and immediately replied: "Commander, please rest assured, the troops are ready!"
The atmosphere at the Japanese brigade headquarters in Xiangfen County was very solemn.
From the moment the retreat order was issued, Major General Kawaguchi's face never looked good.
Because the feedback from the battlefield increasingly proves his judgment on the battle situation.
"General, the three brigades called back. The Eighth Route Army moving around them seemed to be crazy. They attacked them with a life-threatening attitude, blocked them, and prevented them from exiting the Eighth Route Army base area. Now the three brigades have to retreat every step.
Pay huge casualties!"
"The Eighth Route Army must be eyeing one of our brigade again and want to kill this brigade in their base area!" Major General Kawaguchi replied with a stern face.
After glancing down at the gold watch on his wrist, he continued: "It will be dark in less than two hours, and the aviation force must return. The Eighth Route Army must want to wait until dark, and then concentrate its main force after the aviation force is forced to return.
Kill one of our infantry brigade!"
After saying that, Major General Kawaguchi exuded a strong murderous aura, stared at the Chief of Staff and ordered.
"Give the three brigades an order to strengthen their offensive. Don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. Use artillery to deal with enemies that cannot be defeated by infantry, or call for aviation support. We must seize the last two hours when aviation can provide reinforcements and rush out.
Eighth Route Army base area, return to the station!"
"Also, order the intelligence department to find out the specific location of the Eighth Route Army reinforcements no matter what the cost!"
"It's impossible for the strength of several regiments to suddenly disappear under our noses!"
"Only by figuring out their specific locations can we determine what the Eighth Route Army's next target is!"
Although there were constant patrols of Japanese planes overhead, the troops of the two regiments of the brigades directly under the military region still took the time to rush towards Xiangfen County.
He nodded thoughtfully and replied: "Commander, please rest assured, after the battle is over, I will make a good summary and learn as much as possible about Commander Wang's ability to command troops!"
After finishing, I subconsciously wanted to ask the commander if the equipment and ammunition just captured by the troops would be replenished immediately.
You know, since the end of the battle, several battalion commanders have been eyeing these equipment and asked themselves more than once when they would be able to fully equip their heavy machine gun platoons and mortar companies.
Before the words were spoken, the communications staff rushed over.
"Chief, a telegram from Commander Wang of the new regiment!"
"Give it to me quickly..." Although he hasn't read the contents of the telegram yet, as an excellent soldier, the commander has a strong feeling that this telegram must have good news for him!
