Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 917 A Trap Is an Opportunity (Second Update!)
The 136th Infantry Regiment was stationed, and the commander of the regiment was excited when he gave the order.

In another 10 minutes, it only takes 10 minutes, and the detour troops I sent out can block the rear of the Eighth Route Army in front of me, and then encircle and annihilate them.

Of the four infantry regiments under the division, the 136th regiment did not suffer too many casualties during the march of more than ten days.If I can also kill more than 1000 Eighth Route Army in front of me with very small casualties tonight.The joint captain is sure that he will become the most favored joint captain in the entire division!

Now the division still lacks a brigade commander, maybe the position of brigade commander is vacant for himself.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us seems to be retreating!" A report suddenly interrupted the commander's dream.

The fat that was sent to his mouth actually wanted to slip away, absolutely not allowed... This was the first thought of the captain at this moment.

With a frown, he ordered: "Order the detour troops to speed up... block the troops head-on, and launch a counterattack directly. The offensive must be fierce, and the retreating troops of the Eighth Route Army must be attacked as quickly as possible. Kill them as many as you can." How many?"

The sound of guns and artillery that had just weakened on the battlefield became violent again.

Hundreds of devils, armed with bayonet-mounted rifles and light machine guns in their arms, rushed out of the camp like wolves and tigers, and kept shooting forward with the weapons in their hands...

As the sound of gunfire got farther and farther away from him, another subordinate rushed over: "Sir, the detour troops only intercepted less than one company of the Eighth Route Army, and the others ran away. The counterattack troops demanded to pursue them immediately and kill them!"

"Agree!" The captain made a decisive decision.

Then I thought of what the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ito, frowned and reminded: "But remind them, it is night, and the Eighth Route Army is best at night warfare and guerrilla warfare. Therefore, the pursuit troops must remember not to divide the troops, and not to pursue in depth alone. It’s too far away. We’ve just come here, and we’re not familiar with the terrain, so we’re likely to be bitten back by the cunning Eighth Route Army!”

"In addition, appoint the captain of the first brigade as the temporary commander, and command all the attacking troops at the same time!"

News of the division headquarters of the Japanese Army, a total of four and eighth route armies breaking through and retreating successively reached Lieutenant General Ito's ears.

Faced with the pursuit orders issued by several regimental captains, the division chief's first reaction was that something was wrong!
"Division Commander, the troops have all chased them out. Isn't that an opportunity for the Eighth Route Army to attack our remaining troops and meet their troops in the city?" The chief of staff reminded with a frown.

"I suggest that we immediately send a telegram to several regiment leaders to stop their pursuit. Anyway, we didn't have too many losses, and every unit has more or less wiped out some of the Eighth Route Army. As far as the results are concerned, we haven't suffered a loss! "

"Also, it's dark now, our troops are not familiar with the place, so it's easy to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, or even counterattack..."

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and refused very decisively.

"No, if our troops don't attack and are not fooled, how can we lure out the hidden troops of the Eighth Route Army and wipe them out!"

"As for the night battle you are worried about, we can remind the captains that all attacking troops cannot chase too far, cannot go deep alone, and cannot divide troops, so there will be no problem!"

The Chief of Staff did not let go of his frown, hesitating for a moment and continued to remind: "However, we don't know where the lurking troops of the Eighth Route Army are hiding, and which city gate will receive their troops in the city. And our cavalry regiment Both the army and the chariot troops are in the west of the city, and if they want to quickly reinforce the other gates, it will take 10 minutes if they are fast, or more than half an hour if they are slow. There may be many accidents in such a long time!"

Lieutenant General Ito replied confidently: "I still have this confidence!"

"We set up an infantry brigade to stay behind at each gate. Even if the Eighth Route Army's lurking force still has a regiment, an infantry brigade can easily hold it for half an hour. What's more, based on our judgment on the strength of the Eighth Route Army, this lurking force can at most If there are hundreds of people, the threat to our remaining troops will be even smaller!"

The chief of staff's frown finally relaxed.

After hesitating for a while, he replied: "You are right, division chief, I was too worried... I will send a telegram to several regiment commanders immediately, asking them to strengthen their vigilance, especially the attacking troops..."

The new regiment's former enemy headquarters, the frontline battle situation is continuously collected to this small headquarters through the reconnaissance platoon, and Wang Ping can refer to it and issue new combat orders based on it.

"Regimental Commander, the latest situation, the Japanese troops guarding the four city gates have dispatched a large number of troops to chase our retreating troops..."

There was no smile on Wang Ping's face.

From the current point of view, the battle situation is developing in the direction he infers.However, it is still unknown whether the assault battalion can successfully respond to the direct subordinate team and the guard company. , and many other factors to consider.

Frowning, he stared at Tang Guangxin and asked back.

"Immediately figure out how many people the little devils have left in the four city gates, the sooner the better!"

"Chief of Staff, order the assault battalion to prepare for battle. Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades, and infantry artillery, all set up for me!"

After 10 minutes of hard waiting, Tang Guangxin finally came back.

"Head, I have figured it out. There is a left-behind infantry brigade at each city gate, blocking the gate..."

"In addition, there are one or two thousand cavalry and a chariot brigade of devils in the west of the city that have not moved~"

Huang Yuanqiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted: "Commander, the devil must already know the purpose of our war~"

"There is an infantry brigade left at each of the four city gates, and they are blocking the gates of the city. This is obviously to prevent us from sending troops to meet the troops in the city!"

"There are also those cavalry and chariots in the west of the city. They are highly mobile. No matter which city gate is attacked, they can quickly reinforce them, and then use their powerful assault capabilities to kill our supporting troops~"

"The devil has set up a huge trap waiting for us to drill!"

"I suggest that the action be stopped now, and the assault battalion cannot be allowed to take risks!"

"As for the guard company and the direct subordinate team, Linfen City is so big that they can completely lurk on the spot and find a way out of the city after the wind blows!"

The political commissar's proposal is undoubtedly very pertinent, directly minimizing the losses of the troops.

However, Wang Ping's tense face did not change, and he insisted on answering: "The action cannot be stopped!"

"Political Commissar, you ignored the devil's revenge..."

"If they don't leave the city and continue to lurk in the city, with the character of devils, even if Linfen City is turned upside down, the guard company and the direct subordinate team must be found. During the whole process, there must be a large number of people in the city who were hidden and were killed by the devils." Massacre, even if those people are unwilling to leave the city to seek refuge!"

"Hundreds, or even thousands of unarmed civilians were massacred because of our guard company and direct subordinate team. I, Wang Ping, as the head of the Xinyi regiment, will absolutely not allow this to happen, even if the guard company and direct subordinate team are wiped out." No hesitation!"

Huang Yuanqiang was stunned for a few seconds before he could react, and then replied with a face of pain: "Our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people, and I feel right that ordinary people cannot be allowed to die because of us, and so many people have died...Regimental Commander, you are right!
