"Staff Secretary Zhou, how many troops around us have not participated in the battle!" Wang Ping asked staring at the sketch on the table.

"Battleman Xiong's troops, Battalion Commander Xiao's troops, Battalion Commander Yan's troops, Battalion Commander Zhou's troops, and Battalion Commander Hong's troops! There are eight or nine main battalions left, newly formed battalions, and the independent battalion did not come to Linfen City!" Staff Zhou answered immediately.

Wang Ping's confident smile became stronger and he answered very surely: "Enough!"

"Enough... No matter how combat effectiveness of these troops is, at least their total strength has exceeded 10,000!"

"Order Yan Song and Zhou Xutian's Sanqi Battalion, newly formed battalion, and independent battalion, immediately advance to the Japanese division command and launch an attack on the Japanese division command!"

"There are a Japanese infantry corps and a guard here. The total strength is more than 4,000 people, and they are all elite. The hard attack is definitely not an opponent."

"So, during the battle, the heavy artillery camp will unconditionally cooperate with your actions!"

"Tell Wang Binhe that the Japanese's heavy artillery group has been taken down by us. The Japanese have no weapons in their hands that can threaten him. Therefore, the heavy artillery battalion cannot retreat before dawn. Send artillery observers to follow the two battalions and provide them with artillery fire support at any time!"

"Yan Song unified the command of the entire battle, and did not require the capture of the Japanese division command, but they must be opened up and let the Japanese troops from other directions come to reinforce them!"

"Hong Ruijun led the team to attack the Japanese vanguard troops and strive to kill the brigade of the puppet army!"

"Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe were waiting for the air near the Japanese army's baggage force. The division command was attacked, and the troops would definitely go to rescue. Your mission is to wait for the Japanese army's infantry reinforcement division command after the Japanese army's rear hall infantry reinforcement division command, and immediately launch a raid to take down the Japanese army's baggage force!"

"In order to avoid accidents, I will ask the Chief of Staff to transfer all the remaining tanks of the Armored Assault Battalion to reinforce them!"

"Xiao Yunshan is in charge of the battle there, and Xiong Changhe is responsible for assisting!"

Staff Officer Zhou immediately reminded: "Captain, in this way, we will have no reserve team in our hands!"

"And there is an infantry gang between the Japanese vanguard troops and the heavy artillery position. We have no troops to attack them!"

"More than two thousand Japanese devils, no matter where they reinforce, they will put huge pressure on us!"

Wang Ping replied confidently: "Who said we don't have a reserve team?"

"The troops in the chief of staff are our reserve team!"

"They are playing defense now. As long as they transfer the heavy artillery, one battalion will be enough!"

"As for the two infantry brigades you just mentioned, please inform the Chief of Staff now and let the Chief of Staff draw troops to hold them back!"

At the command of the Japanese division, Lieutenant General Kato did not know that a big storm was sweeping towards him.

At this time, he had only one idea in his mind, to quickly regain the thrown heavy artillery.

In order to achieve this goal, he has urged the Chief of Staff in front of him to check the situation more than once.

"Chief of Staff, have the counterattack troops not yet in place? If we can't go there, the Eighth Route Army will transfer all the heavy artillery they stolen. What's the use of regaining a heavy artillery position without artillery?" Lieutenant General Kato couldn't help but remind him again.

This time his order was already a little impatient and murderous!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

As soon as the Chief of Staff was about to give orders, the loud scream of shells passing through the sky came.

The commander's artillery officer's face suddenly turned pale and shouted: "Heavy artillery, the heavy artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army are flying towards us~ Protect the division commander!"

"Boom boom boom..."

Dozens of guards rushed into the command center and as soon as they escorted the commander of the Kato Division, a violent explosion rang near them, and the earth shook, making their ears buzzing.

"Leave here and retreat!" the artillery staff shouted!

"The division command is just around the range of the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery troops... It will be beyond the effective range of the heavy artillery if it retreats for 500 meters!"

Without waiting for the command of the Kato Division Commander, the guard commander surrounded him and moved backwards.

Using the artillery gap, after ten minutes, more than 100 talents were transferred to the range of heavy artillery.

The calm-faced commander Kato Division had just breathed a sigh of relief when a subordinate rushed over: "Sir, the vanguard troops reported that they were attacked by at least 2,000-8th Route Army!"

"There are only one or two infantry squadrons there, and the rest are all engineers and Imperial Army. No heavy weapons are installed, so the troops suffer a lot!"

"Nani?" Kato's division team looked very unpleasant.

He cursed loudly: "What do the Eighth Route Army want to do? Will we fight tonight?"

The chief of staff next to him reminded: "Teacher Commander, the road ahead must have been destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. Without the engineers and puppet troops, we would not be able to repair the road. At least the engineers' corps cannot cause too much loss!"

Commander Kato immediately ordered: "The closest to them is Matsumoto United!"

"There is also a half-infantry brigade of the Matsumoto Wing, so they can immediately reinforce the vanguard troops and protect the safety of the Engineers Wing!"

Before his subordinates could give orders, another combat staff rushed over.

"Sir, Matsumoto United report that they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army!"

"Dadada..."

Before Commander Kato could react, very dense gunfire sounded in his ears.

A lieutenant rushed over: "Sir, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared around the division command center, and are launching an attack on us!"

"They have heavy artillery cover and we suffer a lot."

The chief of staff next to him immediately made a judgment: "Second Commander, the decisive battle, the Eighth Route Army will definitely plan to fight us tonight!"

"Weizhi suggested that all surrounding troops should be ordered to concentrate on the division command center, and ① The division command center should form a defense line at the center, defend the position to the death, and fight a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army!"

Lieutenant General Kato had a calm face and did not speak. It took him a long time to ask the Chief of Staff.

"What other troops are we still not attacked now!"

"The logistics corps and the Itian corps that protect the logistics corps!" the chief of staff answered immediately.

"I understand!" Commander Kato answered with a sudden enlightenment.

"Don't you think it's very strange that the baggage corps was not attacked? Our ammunition, weapons, and food were all in the baggage corps. The Eighth Route Army placed such a unit and did not attack, but instead attacked our main force and fought with the main force. This is not the combat style of the Eighth Route Army all the time!"

The Chief of Staff immediately replied: "The logistics corps have two infantry brigades to protect it. Even if the Eighth Route Army wants to use the logistics corps, it will not be that easy!" The Chief of Staff explained.

Kato sneered and asked back, "What if we transfer those two infantry brigades?"

The chief of staff was startled, then suddenly realized and shouted: "Sing east to attack the west, division commander, are you saying that the Eighth Route Army is fighting the east to attack the west, and is fighting decisively with us on the surface, but in fact, it is to take down our baggage corps!"

"This possibility is not ruled out!" Commander Kato affirmed.
