Wang Ping didn't seem to hear Jin Kai's reminder. He frowned and made a decision: "Tonight we will send troops to capture Linfen City!"
Platoon Commander Wang, turn on the radio. I want to send a telegram to the commander. I'll dictate it and you can send it directly. We don't have many troops left. If we want to take Linfen City, we must borrow troops from the commander!"
"Li Wen, take the direct team and the reconnaissance platoon and set off now. Get to Linfen City before dark. If possible, let me get in. At the critical moment, fatally attack the Japs from behind!"
"Don't worry, captain, I have a way to lead people into Linfen City!" Li Wen answered confidently.
Although a large number of Japanese soldiers were stationed in Linfen City, as the captain of the team directly under Linfen City, in order to train his subordinates' special operations capabilities, Li Wen sneaked into Linfen City under the noses of small Japanese soldiers more than once, and then came out again.
After several trips, even if the Japanese army heavily defended all the city fortifications, Li Wen was confident that he could lead a small force into Linfen City.
What's more, Linfen City's current strength is insufficient, and the defenders simply cannot guard every section of the wall and every corner of Linfen City. In this way, it will be easier for Li Wen to enter Linfen City.
The former enemy headquarters of the New Regiment outside Xiangfen City was hidden in a forest. Even though there were constant patrols of Japanese planes over Xiangfen City, this headquarters, which gathered two very important leaders of the Eighth Route Army, was not discovered.
The two of them were still unaware of the news that the base area had been retaliatory bombed by the Japs. They sat in front of the map and discussed the two battles that had just ended in the direct brigade.
As the direct commander of the battle, the commander was very excited and danced while reporting.
"Old Chen, you fought well in these two battles! You killed an infantry brigade of Japanese soldiers in one night, and in just two nights, Major General Kawaguchi of Xiangfencheng was left alone!"
Commander Chen answered humbly: "Wang Ping was the one who fought the best. Not only did he capture the train station, but he also used the captured Japanese armored vehicles to kill six Japanese infantry squadrons in a row. In addition to the Japanese killed at the train station,
That’s the strength of nearly two infantry brigades!”
"More importantly, they seized a large amount of supplies at Linfen Railway Station. I heard that there are more than 10 million bullets of various types. Now that we have so much ammunition to supplement, the troops will definitely be able to use it for a long time.
Next time we encounter the Japanese taking revenge, we will have the strength to confront them head-on!"
The deputy chief of staff nodded and affirmed: "Wang Ping's side is playing well, and your side is also good. Lao Chen, please don't be humble. Just now, when I saw the two commanders of the directly affiliated brigade, they all spoke with faces.
Smiling, it must be that we won a great victory and the troops gained a lot of good things. We have to exchange shotguns for cannons, otherwise we wouldn’t be so excited!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a staff officer rushed in and interrupted the conversation between the two people.
"Chief, there is an urgent call from the new commander of the new regiment!"
"Aren't the supplies and ammunition at the train station all in the Games Base? Is there anything else that warrants Wang Ping sending us an urgent call? Could there be something wrong again!" the deputy chief of general staff analyzed with a frown.
"Chief of Staff, is something really wrong?" After receiving the telegram and glancing at its contents, Commander Chen frowned.
Then he didn't care that the deputy chief of staff was sitting in front of him, and directly cursed: "The little devil has gone too far to bully others, and he simply doesn't regard us people as human beings... Wang Ping is right, this revenge must be avenged!"
"There is also Major General Kawaguchi, the leader of the Japs Brigade who is hiding in Xiangfen County. This person must also be killed. As long as he lives in this world, the people in our base area may face the danger of retaliatory bombing by the Japs at any time!
"
The deputy chief of staff frowned, stared at Commander Chen and asked: "Why don't you treat us Chinese as human beings? What about revenge and retaliatory bombing? Please explain it clearly to me, Old Chen!"
Soon, the deputy chief of staff read the contents of the telegram.
Out of anger, he smashed his clenched fist directly on the table in front of him.
"Hundreds of lives were just lost..."
"You are right, this revenge must be avenged, otherwise we will not be able to give an explanation to the people in the base area!"
"Also, Wang Ping used the words tit for tat well in the telegram. No matter how many little devils we kill on the battlefield, we can't stop them from taking revenge on our people. Only those Japanese expatriates can make the little devils worry!"
"Although attacking Linfen City is very risky, as long as it can prevent the little devils from continuing to send out planes to retaliate against our base area, the risk is worth taking!"
"Our Eighth Route Army is the army of the common people. Now that the common people are in danger, we, the Eighth Route Army, must stand up to protect them. Otherwise, it will be meaningless for us, the Eighth Route Army, to fight against the Japanese!"
"There is also Major General Kawaguchi, the leader of the Japanese Brigade in Xiangfen City. This person must be killed!" Commander Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"If I'm not wrong, the order to carry out retaliatory bombing on the people in the base area must have something to do with this Kawaguchi. He is so cruel and ruthless, and he doesn't treat us Chinese as human beings, even the puppet soldiers. To deal with such ruthlessness
There is only one way for people, kill him and eradicate him!"
The deputy chief of staff nodded and affirmed: "Then just follow what Wang Ping said in the telegram... We attack Xiangfen and kill the leader of the Japs Brigade, Major General Kawaguchi. Wang Ping went to Linfen, captured Linfen, and killed the Japs expatriates in Linfen City.
Take all prisoners and use them as bargaining chips in our hands to force the little devils to stop their retaliatory bombing.
Then he stared at Commander Chen and asked: "As for Wang Ping's desire to borrow troops, I can only answer it, Old Chen. The direct brigade is your unit, and you will also be commanding the battle to attack Xiangfen County tonight. We need
You know how many troops there are!"
"Let the third regiment pass!" Commander Chen made the decision immediately.
"Now the Third Regiment has not fought in a big battle. With Wang Ping, not only can we fight in big battles, but we can also learn a lot of good things!"
"As for Xiangfen City, two regiments are enough to take it down!"
"The current brigade under direct control has replaced guns with cannons. There are eight Guangshan cannons, eight infantry cannons, and dozens of mortars. The ammunition is also abundant. Even if it is hit with artillery shells, it can open a hole in the wall of Xiangfen City.
!”
"As long as you have confidence!" the deputy chief of staff affirmed.
"Then he ordered: "Old Chen, you will command the siege battle tonight. We must show the majesty of our Eighth Route Army and kill the little Japanese Major General Brigade Commander!"
"As for the three loaned regiments, let them contact Wang Ping. From now on, they will follow Wang Ping's command."
At the temporary headquarters of the new regiment, as time passed little by little, the casualties of several main battalions and the casualties of ordinary people were summarized bit by bit in Wang Ping's hands.
Looking at the bloody figures representing casualties in the report, Wang Ping became angry again: "Get out of here, you kid is too cruel. We must avenge this, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"
"Batalion Commander Jin, order the troops to take time to rest and replenish their physical strength and ammunition. We will take action as soon as the orders from the commander and chief arrive!"
"Linfen City is responsible for replenishing supplies for the surrounding 10,000 to 20,000 Japanese puppet troops, and there must be a lot of supplies and ammunition stored in it. Since we have decided to attack Linfen, we must seize the time and capture it quickly, leaving enough time for the political commissar.
Go and evacuate Linfen City!"
