Political commissar Huang Yuanqiang also looked very unhappy, looking worried.
There is no doubt that he is not optimistic about Wang Ping's next battle.
The troops had just completed their running-in training, and had barely seen actual combat when they were brought over to compete head-on with the main Japanese army.
In Huang Yuanqiang's view, this is not training, it is sending someone to death!
Because Wang Ping repeatedly insisted on fighting this battle, and remembering that the commander once said that Wang Ping had arbitrary power in fighting the battle in the four divisions, in order to ensure the unity of the regiment, Huang Yuanqiang finally agreed.
However, the worried expression remained on his face and never dissipated.
Seeing the chief of staff looking at him as soon as he finished speaking, Huang Yuanqiang understood and seized the last opportunity to persuade: "Commander, I agree with the chief of staff~ Can you think about it again? There are nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers in front of us.
Elite. If anything goes wrong in any link, not only will the guard company and direct team remaining in the city be unable to get out, but our three main battalions will also suffer heavy losses in the battle!"
Wang Ping replied stubbornly without thinking: "Don't think about it, follow the original battle plan, this battle must be fought!"
"Fighting this battle successfully will not only give Chongqing an explanation and tell them that we defended Linfen City, but also eliminated many Japanese. More importantly, when facing the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, our pressure will be much less!
"
After saying that, Wang Ping ordered with a serious face: "Chief of Staff, record the order: "The guard company, the direct team, will start to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops entering the city in half an hour. Start with a small-scale counterattack, and try not to use the gun.
Let the Japanese think that they have encountered the stragglers of our Eighth Route Army and the ordinary people who resisted them in the city, and then fight... The entire raid was mainly to eliminate a large number of the Japanese's active forces. Two hours later, they quickly assembled at the east gate of Linfen City in preparation.
Break out from the east gate!"
"One new battalion, one company and one battalion, will be launched on time at nine o'clock in the evening to launch a feint attack on the Japanese garrison at the South Gate. Xiong Changhe, you send a mortar platoon to them, and give me the posture of a main regiment!"
"The third battalion and the seventh company of the third battalion were newly formed. At the same time, the Japanese army station at Zhang Beimen launched a feint attack. Yan Song, you also strengthened them and gave them a mortar platoon to create a main force group posture!"
"Xiong Changhe, bring a battalion of other troops to attack the east gate for me, and also come out as a main force for me!"
"Yan Song, attack the west gate... The assault battalion will not move for the time being. Let me lurk outside the west gate and wait for my order!"
"bump……"
Amidst the huge impact, the closed door of the courtyard was knocked open, and six little devils with rifles broke in like robbers.
Seeing that there was no one in the yard, several people discussed it and rushed to the main room and the side rooms on both sides of the yard in pairs.
Pushing open the door, a woman squatted in the corner shivering with a very frightened expression.
"Flower girl! There is actually a flower girl here..." The devil showed a lewd smile on his face, shouting and pounced on the opponent.
The moment he rushed into the room, the door behind him was closed.
Although the voice was very small, it still attracted the attention of the other Japanese.
When they subconsciously turned around to find out who was closing the door, several Eighth Route Army soldiers had already rushed toward them.
"eight……"
Before the warning cry could be uttered, a pair of strong hands had already tightly covered his mouth.
The Japanese reacted very quickly, subconsciously preparing to pull the bolt of the gun, intending to use the sound of gunfire to alert their comrades who were still calling them "Flower Girl".
However, the Eighth Route Army who had already rushed to Bu's eyes reacted faster and inserted their bayonets, emitting cold light, directly into his chest like sharp swords.
In the blink of an eye, the Japs felt that their physical strength was flowing away quickly like a flood that burst a dam. He even had no strength left to pull the gun bolt!
At the same time, the Jaap, who was still immersed in the flower girl's dream, didn't even see his opponent's figure. The bayonet pierced his back and then penetrated directly through his body. The bayonet sword radiating cold light emerged from the gap between his chest and ribs!
The same thing happened in every corner of Linfen City. As long as a little devil was left alone, the Eighth Route Army would immediately watch them and kill them.
The guard company and more than 200 veterans of the direct team, using the cover of night and houses, continued to harvest the lives of the little devils.
Of course, during this process, there were also vigilant Japs who used guns to fight back. Yes, a few gunshots suddenly came out of Linfen City, a large city in Nuozhou, but it did not attract the attention of other Japs.
Everyone regarded it as a comrade killing Chinese people who dared to resist in the city.
"The division commander must be the stragglers left behind by the Eighth Route Army in Linfen City and some stubborn ordinary people who are disobedient to the imperial army's discipline!" the chief of staff reminded after hearing gunfire in the city.
Lieutenant General Ito knew that his troops must have done something outrageous in the city, causing the people to resist, and then he opened fire.
However, as the division commander, he knew that his men would definitely carry out a large-scale looting in the city, but he had no intention of stopping it.
The troops finally reached Linfen and were about to run out of rations. If the subordinates were not allowed to vent their anger in the city, they would definitely not be as desperate as before in the next battle!
However, as time passed little by little, this judgment was slowly overturned by Lieutenant General Ito.
"No... the gunfire is getting thicker and denser. In addition to the sound of rifles, there are also machine gun fire and submachine gun fire. There is no need to use machine guns to deal with the common people. Moreover, the troops entering the city are not equipped with submachine guns. The submachine guns must be equipped by the Eighth Route Army!" Ito!
The lieutenant general frowned and made a new judgment.
"There must be elite troops of the Eighth Route Army in the city on Bagya Road!"
"Boom boom boom..."
At this moment, a series of explosions suddenly came from the city.
Lieutenant General Ito was even more certain of his judgment: "This must be the case...I understand, the Eighth Route Army wants to use its elite troops hidden in the city to fight us in street battles!"
"Report……"
As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate rushed in.
"Sir, there are a large number of Eighth Route Army troops lurking in the city. They are equipped with a large number of submachine guns and automatic pistols and have powerful firepower. The troops entering the city have suffered heavy losses, but the battle situation is still under our control. They are trying to control the situation and kill these Eighth Route Army troops!"
Lieutenant General Ito was not angry but overjoyed and analyzed: "I will tell you why the Eighth Route Army did not defend Linfen City. It turns out that their conspiracy is in the city!"
"Regardless of whether these people are elites or not, since they have got into the belly of our 30,000 elites, then don't even think about running away!"
"Order the 134th Regiment entering the city to find them, surround them, and kill them. Try to end the battle within two hours!"
"Hi..." The subordinates, still panting heavily, rushed out of the tent immediately!
