Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1269 Defending Linfen (first update!)

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggongma replied: "Regimental Commander, according to our original combat plan, the devils will enter Linfen City tonight. We will use the two secret passages built in Linfen City during this period to mobilize elites to enter the city and fight them in Linfen City." Street fighting, close combat, night fighting, even if one life pays for another, they must be severely injured!"

"Now the strength of the two divisions of the Jinsui Army is closely following the devils, and they want to take Linfen wholeheartedly. I am worried that they will suddenly join the battle when we are fighting fiercely with the devils, and then take the opportunity to rush into Linfen City , stand in Linfen City and won’t leave!”

Wang Ping affirmed: "The Jinsui Army will definitely do this!"

"They are the regular army, and they hold the precious sword of the World War II Zone Command in their hands. We really have no reason to refuse to join the battle and enter Linfen City to cooperate in the battle!"

"It's easy to ask God to send God away. Once they take the opportunity to enter Linfen City, they will definitely occupy it and not leave. Then they will receive more troops into the city, and they will not leave if they occupy it. At that time, Linfen City will naturally fall to Jinsui City. In the hands of the army!"

"The Jinsui Army must not be allowed to occupy Linfen City!" Li Wen replied very positively.

"As long as they occupy Linfen City, they won't leave. At that time, Linfen City, which was occupied by the Jinsui army, will become a nail again!"

"They will take this nail as the center and expand the opportunity step by step."

"At that time, the base area will become the base area half a year ago. No, the situation is definitely worse than the base area half a year ago!"

"The devils occupy Linfen City. As long as we deploy heavy troops around and the devils dare to leave the city, we will fight them. But the Jinsui army can't do it. They can't fight or kill them. No matter how many troops we deploy, we can only watch them helplessly. Go out of the city, rampage in our base area, and expand their influence!"

Zhong Chenggong said with a serious face: "Leader, I agree with Captain Li's analysis!"

"After Linfen City is occupied by the Jinsui Army, it will become a time bomb that may explode at any time!"

Wang Ping hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.

"Then don't let the devils enter Linfen City, we have been occupying Linfen, so that the Jinsui army will have no chance to enter Linfen!"

"They want to help fight the devils. Yes, they can fight outside the city. As for Linfen City, our Eighth Route Army is guarding it, and it can hold it. They don't need to intervene!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong opened his mouth, and asked back with a shocked expression: "Commander, you mean to stick to Linfen City and let the little devils station troops in Linfen City tonight, and we will destroy them outside Linfen City!"

"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed.

Zhong Chenggong's mind was working quickly, and he studied the feasibility of this style of play as the chief of staff.

Soon, the shocked expression on his face was covered by a smile.

"Head, it's feasible, very feasible!"

"If you had proposed this idea yesterday, I would have firmly opposed it. But today is different. The devils have no heavy artillery, just like a hungry wolf without fangs. Even if they have more than 1 people, our new regiment will Don't be afraid. What's more, we are still defending the city, Linfen City has very strong fortifications."

"It's good that the little devils who have hurriedly killed outside Linfen City don't attack the city. If they really decide to attack the city, I guarantee that the strong fortifications of Linfen City will definitely become the graves of little devils!"

Wang Ping immediately ordered: "Order, Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe will enter the city immediately. The two of them failed to fight the devils last night. They must have been itching in their hearts. Let them fight today's defense battle!"

"Chief of Staff, you also go into the city, and return all their mortars, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery to them. You are in charge of the entire battle of defending the city. The two of them cooperate to ensure that Linfen City does not lose a single gate!"

"I will personally command the other troops, and strive to wipe out the Japanese army outside Linfen City tonight."

Neiji Okamura had been standing in front of the huge battle sand table at the North China Front Command of the Japanese Army in Beiping for an hour, and there was no other movement except for reading the information in his hand.

The chief of staff stood by and did not speak. He used his peripheral vision to glance at Neiji Okamura from time to time, looking for an opportunity to speak.

It is certain that Okamura Ningji must be full of anger at this time and have nowhere to vent.

If I didn't speak well at the right time, I might become the spark that detonated the powder keg of Neji Okamura, and then become the target of Neji Okamura to vent his anger.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the losses of the troops have been calculated last night!" After hesitating for a long time, the chief of staff finally seized the opportunity and reported boldly.

"Say!" Neiji Okamura replied without looking up, and continued to stare at the sand table.

"Hi!" the chief of staff replied cautiously.

"According to statistics, the battle last night was a joint military operation between the Eighth Route Army's Taihang base area and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area. The two participating troops were elites who had disappeared from the two base areas for nearly half a month, with a total strength of 2 troops!"

"In addition, there are two brigades, one division, five main regiments, more than 20 companies, battalions, and regiment-sized local troops participating in the battle in the two base areas!"

"They used the tactical method of besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements, annihilating five of our reinforcement troops: two regiment-scale reinforcement troops, three brigade-scale reinforcement troops, and then took the opportunity to occupy the four counties controlled by the imperial army!"

"I want the final result, not the battle process. Your staff deduced the specific battle process this morning, so what's the point of reporting it again now?" Neiji Okamura suddenly interrupted.

Hearing the anger and murderous intent in Neiji Okamura's tone, the chief of staff shook his hand, and the list in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Then he hurriedly said: "Up to now, the imperial army has lost a total of two infantry regiments and three infantry brigades. There is also an infantry regiment and two infantry brigades were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the losses were great. The total loss The Imperial Army has more than 400 people, and the six regiments of the Imperial Association Army have more than [-] people!"

"So many?" Neiji Okamura was shocked by this number even though he was prepared.

The chief of staff affirmed: "The Eighth Route Army has dispatched the main force, local troops, and two secret raid troops. There are a total of more than 5 people and nearly 2 people. The artillery alone has used nearly [-] pieces!"

Neiji Okamura raised his brows and continued to ask: "You just said that the number of casualties is only up to now. What do you mean! Has the Eighth Route Army that attacked them not retreated? What is the air force doing? Why don't you cover the troops? Repel the Eighth Route Army attacking them!"

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "The main force of the Eighth Route Army has all retreated~ No, it's not a retreat, it's moved to the mountains near the battlefield to hide!"

"Today, the total strength of the Imperial Army in this area of ​​the battlefield is less than 5000, and the troops are stationed in seven or eight counties and important villages and towns, and there are no reinforcements around. The Eighth Route Army, which has just won a big victory, will definitely not let go. Opportunity!"

"Report from the front line. Although the main force of the Eighth Route Army has left, there are still a large number of small groups of the Eighth Route Army around them. They are sneaking up on them under the nose of our air force, waiting for the dark!"

"They request that those towns be abandoned immediately, and withdraw from the combat area under the cover of aviation!"

Okamura Ningji who was on the side ordered after thinking about it: "Retreat, let them retreat immediately. The loss is almost 1 people, and the remaining less than [-] imperial troops must not lose any more!"
