Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 922 I'm Not a Firefighter (First Update!)

For the past two days, Linfen City has been extremely quiet, not a single gunshot has been fired.

Neither the Xinyituan nor the devils wanted to provoke the opponent's nerves and disrupt their own battle deployment at this time.

Lieutenant General Ito was in a very good mood. After the troops completely controlled Linfen, the surrounding several kilometers had completely become the territory of the imperial army.

I also received a response to my request for supplementary supplies to the front army. In order to get rid of the serious trouble of Xinyituan, the front army agreed to all of them.All the materials are in the process of being transferred, and it only takes ten days for Linfen City to stock up enough materials and ammunition to attack the new base.

Of course, Lieutenant General Ito, who had good news, was not idle.

The several battles against the Xinyi Regiment almost all ended in a disastrous defeat for the imperial army.

After some analysis, Lieutenant General Ito discovered that these disastrous defeats should not have happened in the first place, and the imperial army had an absolute advantage in winning these battles.However, it still failed in the end. One of the most critical and deadly reasons was that the imperial army did not know the opponent, and did not know the strength of the opponent's participation in the battle, including troops, firepower, and even the terrain of the battlefield!

In order to solve this problem, Lieutenant General Ito has done one thing in the past two days, collecting all the information related to the Xinyi Regiment, even a small battle that cannot be missed.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Ito also asked the intelligence staff of the division to use money to buy a large number of ordinary people into the Eighth Route Army base area to search for intelligence!
When he entered the war room in the morning, the first thing Lieutenant General Ito did was to analyze the various intelligence gathered on his desk overnight, and to understand his opponent from this information, at least to know himself and the enemy on the battlefield.

Before his butt was hot, the chief of staff rushed in.

"Master, something happened..."

Little things would never make the chief of staff so flustered.Therefore, as soon as he saw the expression on the chief of staff's face, Lieutenant General Ito realized that something big happened!
After a while, he stood up from his seat, stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Was any unit attacked by the Eighth Route Army?"

"No... division commander, you misunderstood. It's not our troops that were attacked, but other imperial troops in the Taiyue area..." the chief of staff quickly explained.

"Only one night, our two troops attacking the Eighth Route Army's Taiyue Military Region were devastated and have lost contact with each other. There was also a material supply battle that was also captured by the Eighth Route Army. All materials were lost, and there were only various bullets in it." 50 rounds, and more than 5000 rounds of shells of various calibers and a lot of other supplies!"

"The front army judged that last night's battle must be a counterattack signal from the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army."

"Killing our [-] imperial troops in one night and capturing a large amount of equipment, the strength of the Taiyue Military Region must be even stronger. And our encirclement and suppression troops, because we lost two encirclement and suppression troops, two gaps directly appeared in the big net of the Taiyue Military Region. The Eighth Route Army can not only pick out our encirclement circle through these gaps, but also encircle and annihilate our remaining encirclement and suppression troops through these gaps!"

As an excellent commander, Lieutenant General Ito saw the huge risks exposed in the midterm at a glance.

He frowned and analyzed: "If the encirclement and suppression of the Taiyue Military Region is to continue, the front army must immediately deploy troops to fill up these gaps to ensure the absolute advantage of the imperial army. If there are no troops, then retreat and drag on like this , will only give the Eighth Route Army more opportunities to attack us!"

"The commander of the division is wise... This encirclement was organized with great difficulty by the front army, and it must not be abandoned halfway~ The front army has already begun to deploy troops to make up for these gaps!" The chief of staff complimented at the right time.

Lieutenant General Ito frowned suddenly, followed by a very bad premonition in his mind.

Then he stared at the chief of staff and asked back: "As soon as the troops are transferred, the troops are transferred. What are you panicking, chief of staff?"

The chief of staff replied surprisingly: "Commander, I don't know why. The front army asked us to send at least one infantry regiment to reinforce the encirclement and suppression troops to make up for these gaps?"

"Nani, let's go!" The premonition became a reality, Lieutenant General Ito still had an expression of disbelief.

Then he shook his head and refused: "No, the task of our division is to recapture Linfen and kill the Xinyi regiment. Now the task is only half completed, and we can't divide our troops yet!"

"Directly call back the front army to reject it. We can divide our troops to reinforce other troops after we kill the new regiment. And we don't have supplies and ammunition in our hands to ensure that our reinforcement troops will join the battle now!"

Seeing that the chief of staff didn't move, Lieutenant General Ito scolded directly: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't send a telegram!"

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment, and answered bravely: "There is still something in the telegram..."

"The commander said that in the entire Taiyue area, we have troops that can be dispatched... They also said that if the battle to encircle and suppress other troops in the Taiyue Military Region of the Eighth Route Army loses, these Eighth Route Army will definitely reinforce a new regiment. At that time, we want to kill The new regiment will face more Eighth Route Army troops!"

"The front army asked us to immediately mobilize troops for the sake of the overall situation, and rush to the gap!"

"The ammunition supplies these troops need are all provided by the garrison troops on the marching route. It is absolutely guaranteed that they have sufficient ammunition and supplies to participate in the battle!"

Lieutenant General Ito got angry and cursed loudly: "Bageyalu, the front army is treating our division as a firefighter~ Send us wherever there is danger!"

"All the troops have been dispatched, what kind of troops should we use to encircle and suppress the Xinyi Regiment!"

Although the division has lost a lot of troops since it dispatched troops, because the division has supplementary regiments, so far, the main four infantry regiments are still fully staffed.

Four full-staffed infantry regiments, one field artillery regiment, one heavy mountain artillery regiment, two cavalry regiments, one chariot regiment, one logistics regiment, plus other troops, the total strength is still 8000 There are nearly 2 people in the combat troops alone.

With so many troops encircling and suppressing a regiment-level force, it is absolutely impossible to have no troops.

The reason why the division commander said this was for one reason. He was angry and was very dissatisfied that the front army treated him as a firefighter.

However, he had to carry out the orders of the front army.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he bit the bullet and asked: "Division Commander, the front army requested an order to send troops..."

"Execute! The order has been issued. If you don't execute it, you will disobey the military order. I don't want to be taken down as division commander for this reason..."

"Let the 134th Wing and the Supplementary Wing leave one infantry brigade to pass. They have more than 4000 people, which just meet the deployment requirements of the front army."

"Also, the 134th Regiment recruits the most recruits. If they are transferred, the impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire division can be minimized!"

The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied: "The commander of the division is wise~ I will give you an order right away!"

Because of the influence of the troop transfer, Lieutenant General Ito's good mood suddenly disappeared.For the next few days, I will do things with a calm face.

The headquarters of the new regiment, because Xiangfen County will definitely become a key target for the devils in the future, in order to command the troops nearby, Wang Ping directly moved the headquarters here.

In the telecommunications room next to the war room, several radio stations have been turned on, and the sounds of sending and receiving telegrams have not stopped.

The latest information from the front-line teams and reconnaissance platoons, telegrams from the main battalions, and intelligence reports and orders from the military area...Dozens of telegrams appear in Wang Ping's hands every day.
