Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 804 Attacking Xiangfen (third update!)

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also noticed the problem, frowned and analyzed: "Commander, this devil is too strange!"

"In the past, they would never have retreated so disheveledly, and they would not even give us a chance to fight. You know, retreating without seeing us, this is definitely very great for the devil's military spirit and morale challenge!"

"This must be the masterpiece of the brigade commander who hasn't taken office yet!" Wang Ping judged, frowning.

"Major General Kawaguchi! Kawaguchi, who has just been promoted to major general in the main force regiment, is about to take over Matsumoto's position!" Zhong Chenggong's face suddenly became serious.

Then he analyzed with a serious tone: "If it is really his handwriting, then Linfen City, the incoming brigade commander, must be more difficult to deal with than Matsumoto!"

Wang Ping frowned and analyzed: "Although Matsumoto is very powerful, he is very impulsive and takes honor very seriously. This is his fatal flaw. The brigade commander who is about to take office obviously does not have this flaw."

"Assess the situation, although I don't know if he sees our intention to consume a large number of them in the counterattack. However, at the beginning of the battle, we can abandon all villages and towns outside the county seat, shrink our troops to defend the county seat, and keep the troops. That's all. For one thing, his actual combat experience is better than Matsumoto's. Especially the experience of commanding large-scale troops and the overall view are definitely better than Matsumoto's!"

"Chief of Staff, what you just said is right, we have encountered a very powerful opponent this time!"

Political commissar Huang Yuanqiang followed up and added: "The devils have brought us another problem by doing this!"

"According to the reports of the four battalions, in the two days of fighting, they only wiped out a garrison squadron of the devils, and the strength of the puppet army is less than a battalion."

"This means that the Japanese and puppet troops garrisoned in several counties, as many as nearly 2000, and as few as at least 500. So many Japanese and puppet troops are stationed in the hinterland of our base area, and they may come out of the city at any time to bite us , like a nail staring at the hinterland of our base!"

"Also, although the Japanese and puppet troops have retreated to the county seat, their intelligence network outside the city must not have retreated. This means that our every move in these places cannot escape their eyes. As long as there is a chance, they will They would come out and beat us. And for the safety of our base area, we had to deploy heavy troops to guard around the county seat. As soon as the devils left the city, they would beat them, forcing them not to dare to leave the city.”

The political commissar's analysis made the atmosphere in the headquarters even more depressing.

The head of the regiment, Wang Ping, and the chief of staff, Zhong Chenggong, both frowned and stared at the sand table without saying a word.

Suddenly, the voice of the communications platoon leader broke the atmosphere.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff, urgent call from the military region!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong took over the telegram and began to browse, his ugly face was even uglier now.

But because the telegram was sent by the military region, and the orders and decisions also came from the headquarters, although Zhong Chenggong was very angry, he couldn't get angry. He could only pass the telegram to the head of the regiment with a dissatisfied and sullen expression.

"Captain, see for yourself!"

"Not to mention that the military exploits we have finally obtained will be cut in half at once, and the remaining military exploits will be distributed to other troops!"

Soon, Wang Ping and Huang Yuanqiang knew the content of the telegram.

Although I felt very uncomfortable and wronged, I still comforted myself: "Political commissar, chief of staff, is this okay?"

"Our military achievements, as long as the military region knows, the headquarters knows, and Yan'an knows. As for Chongqing, it doesn't matter whether we know or not, anyway, we are not the same as them!"

"Also, it's impossible for you not to know the principle of shooting the first bird with a gun. Not only do I have no opinion, but I also agree with it!"

Political commissar Huang Yuanqiang also reacted and added: "I agree with the commander, as long as the military region and the headquarters know our military exploits!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued: "I don't have any opinion on the decision of the headquarters. It's just that the above mentioned that we should attack the county seat. I don't think the time is ripe. It's too risky to act rashly, and it may be possible to attack the city." The casualties caused are too great, we cannot afford it!"

Wang Ping didn't answer, and stared at the battle sand table in front of him, lost in thought.

Suddenly, staring at Zhong Chenggong who had a pretty face, he asked: "Chief of Staff, you said just now that the First Battalion has hardly seized any food in the entire territory of Xiangfen? But, as far as I know, the land area of ​​Xiangfen is larger than that of Linfen." If there is a lot of food, the grain output is also very large, and the devils will definitely not let Xiangfen's grain go, what's going on here?"

Zhong Chenggong hurriedly replied: "Xiangfen has a lot of land, nearly 20 mu, and this year's grain output is at least 2000 million catties. According to the devil's tax standard, they can get at least 1000 million catties of grain. The little devils are greedy. If you have such a character, you will definitely not throw away so much food!"

"It's just that we were late!"

"After the food was harvested by the devils, it has all been sent to Xiangfen County. According to preliminary estimates, there are at least 900 million catties of food!"

Wang Ping nodded, staring at Huang Yuanqiang and continued to ask: "Political commissar, plus the food that the three battalions snatched from the devils, how much stock do we have now!"

The political commissar, who knew Xinyituan’s family well for a long time, replied after thinking about it: “The two military ranks robbed a total of 700 million catties of grain. The grain stolen by the devils used up more than 160 million jin at once. In addition to the grain that we will soon use up for reclaiming wasteland, there should not be much left over the 120 million jin of grain.”

"Also, after deducting the consumption of several thousand people in our new regiment, we can only store 600 million catties of grain in the end!"

"The second battalion can send back 150 million catties of grain, the third battalion can send back 300 million catties, and the fourth battalion can send back the most, 350 million catties. All of them add up to 400 million catties!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Wang Ping's serious and dignified face, then he stared at the political commissar and asked back.

"That is to say, if we grab the more than 900 million catties of grain that the devils have sent to Xiangfen County, the grain in our hands will directly exceed 2000 million catties, reaching an astonishing 300 million catties!"

"There shouldn't be so many!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang replied shaking his head.

"It is impossible to store all the grain seized in several counties, and some of it must be used to compensate the common people! Some of it must be used to reclaim wasteland. But there must be 2000 million catties of grain in the end!"

Wang Ping replied very satisfied: "2000 million catties is enough! In addition to the land we have reclaimed in the base area, even if the land is dry and the harvest fails, we can survive it!"

The political commissar suddenly realized: "Leader, you are going to attack Xiangfen County!"

Wang Ping nodded in affirmation: "Both the headquarters and the military region need such a record, and Xiangfen County has food that we urgently need. In addition, the Japanese and puppet troops around Xiangfen are all overwhelmed, and there is no way to send troops to reinforce them. That's great." Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity!"
