"A good idea. Since the New First Regiment cannot hide and fight with us, we will force them out. Otherwise, we will burn all the fires in their so-called base areas. The Eighth Route Army has almost no logistics reserves and will definitely not be able to bear such a huge loss!" The Chief of Staff replied with excitement on his face.

At this moment, a communications officer rushed in: "Team Commander, Linfen City is in urgent need of power!"

"Our troops that encircled and suppressed the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in the occupied area were ambushed by them and the entire army was destroyed!"

"Also, those guerrillas no longer hide. After killing our ambush troops, they publicly occupied more than a dozen villages and established bases. They also used seized weapons to recruit soldiers and expand the troops!"

"What?" Nakayar Fujino stood up from his seat.

Staring at the communications staff, he cursed: "Bageyalu, are they all stupid pigs? More than 1,500 people can't even kill hundreds of Eighth Route Army guerrillas, and they also lose troops and generals. What do the commanders do for? This is simply a shame to the empire? I want to send them all to the military court!"

The Chief of Staff was most worried about.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he reminded: "Second Commander, those commanders have died in battle!"

"Weizhi believes that the most important thing now is to kill the Eighth Route Army. We must not let them accomplice the tiger in our rear. The Eighth Route Army develops its troops too fast. It won't take long to make it possible for hundreds of people to become thousands!"

Lieutenant General Fujino did not answer with a calm face, but frowned and asked, "How many troops are left in Linfen City?"

"The Imperial Army has two regiments of 2,500 people, a garrison brigade, a main force, a gendarmerie brigade, and other technical troops, the Imperial Army has nearly 3,000 people!" The Chief of Staff replied as if he had known it.

Fujino ordered decisively: "Take out a brigade of the main force, and a mountain cannon squadron, plus a regiment of the Imperial Army. Immediately send troops to encircle and suppress these Eighth Route Army and kill them!"

Seeing that the division commander finally began to pay attention to them, the chief of staff couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "I will give orders now!"

At the command center of the new first regiment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed in and reported: "Captain, the left-behind troops in the interior are fighting night wars, guerrilla warfare, and mobile warfare. The old troops must use the minimum casualties to cause the Japanese to kill the Japanese, and then hold them back!"

"I plan to keep Yan Song and the troops of the Rong Army, and then leave behind the armored assault battalion and cavalry battalion, which is commanded by the political commissar to deal with the Japanese in the base area!"

"The troops of Jin Kai, Zhou Xutian and Zhang Qingyun followed us and directly entered the Japanese occupied area and took down Linfen City!"

Wang Ping frowned and replied: "In addition to the anti-aircraft battalion, the two companies of the heavy artillery battalion, six heavy artillery guns followed us!"

"The direct team followed me, the investigation company stayed, and followed the political commissar!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, we will start to act tonight. We will take two nights to Linfen City!"

"By the way, is there any news from Hong Ruijun, the guard camp? The 1,500 Japanese and puppet troops went to encircle and suppress them. Two days have passed, and there should be a result!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yong rushed in, his face was very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Before Wang Ping could speak, he reported: "Captain, I bring two news, one good news and the other bad news. Which one do you listen to first?"

"Old Wei, you are playing with me as a mystery! Of course, you should listen to the good news first, right?" Wang Ping replied after a smile flashed across his face.

"Then I'll tell you the good news first!" Wei Yong also smiled!

"It was from Linfen City. Hong Ruijun and the guard battalion successfully killed the Japanese and puppet troops. The news spread to the city, causing a great sensation, which made the Japanese and puppet soldiers in Linfen City panic, as if the guard battalion had already reached Linfen City!"

"This is indeed good news. With this victory, we will lose 1,500 enemies when we attack Linfen City next!" Wang Ping replied.

Then the topic changed and said, "If I guessed correctly, the Japanese would definitely not let Hong Ruijun digest the results of the war in their occupied areas and develop steadily!"

The smile on Wei Yong's face disappeared instantly, his brows frowned, and then replied: "Yes, leader, this is the bad news I'm going to say next!"

"Linfen City has assembled a reinforcement brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Army, ready to retaliate against Hong Ruijun. If nothing unexpected happens, the troops have set off now, and they can fight Hong Ruijun and the others as soon as it gets dark today!"

Wang Ping subconsciously frowned: "Is there anyone in the puppet army's regiment?"

"There are two, but they are all company commanders, and they can control 60% of their subordinates! However, they have developed several platoon leaders in other troops. Together, all of them have at least 300 people in the puppet army regiment, who are wearing dog skins!"

A smile suddenly flashed across Wang Ping's face, and his frown brows stretched out at this time, and then he replied unexpectedly: "No, Lao Wei, this may be a good thing for us!"

"Chief of Staff, please help me analyze how many troops Hong Rui's army has now!"

The Chief of Staff replied without thinking: "At least 1,500 people, maybe two thousand people are there!"

"There is a battalion among the puppet army he just killed, which is ours. This battalion must be a direct battlefield anyway, without any casualties. In addition to other puppet army captives, there must be six or seven hundred people!"

"More importantly, these six or seven hundred people were trained by the Japanese. Even if the combat effectiveness is not as good as our main force, it will not be much worse!"

Wang Ping affirmed: "Hong Ruijun's troops are definitely no less than two thousand people now!"

"It is certain that we have won six or seven hundred prisoners after winning the battle, and it is only a lot. But don't forget that we have guerrillas in every village and town occupied by the Japanese. Now they openly use our new regiment to rush in. Those guerrillas will definitely flock to join them. If you don't say too much, there will definitely be three or four hundred people!"

"Finally, and most importantly, the Japanese and puppet troops killed by them have strengthened a mortar squad and a heavy machine gun squad. The puppet army regiment also has a gun company and a heavy machine gun company!"

"Now that the Japanese and puppet troops have been killed, these heavy weapons must have fallen into the hands of Hong Ruijun!"

"With so much capital in your hand, it is definitely no problem to kill the mopping force sent by the Japanese today, and to severely damage or hold them down!"

"There are only a few people in Linfen City in total, and now there are 2,500 people missing at once. It won't be easier to kill him when we kill him!"

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong became more and more excited the more he listened.

Originally, Wang Ping proposed to attack Linfen and force the Japanese to retreat through attacking Linfen. Zhong Chenggong was still worried about whether the new regiment could take down Linfen City. Now it seems that there is no problem at all.

He immediately replied: "I will send a telegram to Hong Ruijun now, inform him of the information, and order them to hold back the more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops!"
