Chapter 601 Underestimate the opponent
"Bageya Road, Tujiao Route is not a soldier at all. They are just a bunch of bandits who robbed everything!" Seeing that most of the Japanese corpses in the stronghold and streets were naked, the Japanese brigade leader was imaginable. He pulled out his commander's knife and chopped a wooden stake next to him into two, and cursed loudly regardless of his identity.
The squadron leader next to him was also full of anger and had no place to go. He frowned and suggested, "Sir, should you chase them immediately!"
"Just from the ruts, they have just left for a while and have brought a lot of supplies, so the march will definitely not be fast!"
During this period, the Japanese army in Linfen were already scared by the Xinyi regiment. The Xinyi regiment's elusive fighting style and various strange tactics they could not imagine made the Japanese full of fear.
Especially at night, unless absolutely necessary, no Japanese commander is willing to fight with Wang Ping unless he has absolute certainty or military strength advantages.
But now I obviously don't have this advantage.
There was only one infantry squadron behind him and one battalion of the Imperial Army. There were more defenders in Fengyun Town's stronghold than him, and there were also strong strongholds for defense. This was not an opponent of the New Regiment, let alone himself.
Therefore, although the Japanese captain was full of anger, the last bit of rationality in his mind still told him not to be impulsive.
After frowning, he refused decisively: "You can't chase! The enemy is too cunning, well equipped and strong in combat. No one knows what traps will be waiting for us on the pursuit!"
"Also, we are not strong enough. The New First Regiment can kill us one strengthening squadron and two garrison squadrons and five companies of the Imperial Army within a few hours, so we have the ability to kill us in a short period of time!"
"We all underestimated the strength of our opponents. If we can kill so many of our troops in such a short period of time, with the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely impossible for us to have only more than one hundred people. Even the most elite infantry squadron of the brigade cannot achieve such great results in this situation, let alone the poorly equipped Eighth Route Army!"
With more than 500 puppet army prisoners and nearly twenty large vehicles, the team evacuated from Fengyun Town by the New Regiment lasted for more than 500 meters.
Under such circumstances, the limited troops of the new regiment had to go into battle, patrolling back and forth in the middle of the team with rifles and guarding them.
Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe were not idle either. After patrolling the team, they immediately caught up with Wang Ping.
"Captain, Tang Guangxin just sent someone back to report, and the Japanese reinforcements did not send anyone to pursue him. You are sure!" As soon as he saw Wang Ping, Xiong Changhe reported excitedly.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked with a longing look on his face: "Captain, how did you do it."
"From the beginning of the battle tonight, the Japanese were under your calculations!"
"How can you be sure that the Japanese will definitely send troops to reinforce the puppet army? How can you be sure that the Japanese will send a second wave of reinforcements after the first wave of reinforcements are ambushed by us!"
"There are also reinforcements from the Japanese who came from the county town. How can you be sure that they will not chase us!"
Xiao Yunshan also stared at Wang Ping with his longing eyes, wanting to know the answer!
Wang Ping did not hide it and directly replied: "It's very simple. I calculated that the Japanese did not understand the real situation of our new regiment! They underestimated that we would pay once, until they truly knew us and valued us!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, our new regiment is a unit composed of more than 100 remnants. No matter how strong the combat power is, it is not much stronger!"
"Isn't it?" Xiao Yunshan and Xiong Changhe both stared at Wang Ping with puzzled eyes and asked.
"Of course not, at least not now!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"When we first sent troops, our new regiment had more than one hundred remaining soldiers. But now, I can be sure, not. Whether it was the battle last night or the battle tonight, it was not!"
"The most intuitive explanation is firepower, the firepower that our new group has!"
"In the eyes of the Japanese, our new regiment has more than 100 people equipped with two or three light machine guns at the top, and the combat effectiveness is equivalent to that of their infantry squad. But in fact, our new regiment not only has light machine guns, but also heavy machine guns and mortars. In terms of the number of machine guns, it is more than one infantry squadron. On the battlefield, the powerful firepower can completely make up for our lack of troops, allowing our new regiment to wield a main battalion and even more troops to fight the combat effectiveness!"
"And the devils don't know all this!"
"The Japanese don't know our true strength, and they are arrogant, arrogant, look down on our new group, and they all want to kill our new group. This is doomed by the Japanese to fail again and again when facing us."
"It is precisely because I know these, understand the Japanese, and understand the opponents that I can calculate what the Japanese will do next in battles again and again, and then make arrangements in advance to catch the enemy off guard!"
Xiong Changhe slowly showed a sudden enlightenment on his face: "It's true!"
"Take the battle tonight as an example, the reason why the Japanese sent two reinforcements in succession was that they believed that our new regiment was insufficient and had no strength to ambush them. Then they held the idea of attacking us from the targets and eliminating us, and then sent troops!"
"Yes, this is the main reason!" Wang Ping affirmed.
Linfen City Japanese Military Brigade Command, although it was already four o'clock in the morning, Major General Matsumoto was not sleepy at all.
Fengyun Town stronghold, a large stronghold that no one expected, was attacked by the new regiment. When the news reached the command center, many people did not believe it.
Major Fujino believed it after two consecutive telegrams for help. Then the first reaction was that the Xinyi regiment was crazy. Major Fujino, the commander of Fengyun Town stronghold, was too terrible. More than 800 defenders faced the attack of more than 100 remaining soldiers of the Xinyi regiment. If they could not even defend the stronghold, then Major Fujino might as well apologize to His Majesty the Emperor directly.
It was not until Major Fujino reported the battle to the command center that these people realized the seriousness of the problem and woke Major General Matsumoto upset.
As a veteran who has been through the battlefield, Matsumoto can see at a glance the mistake Masamoto Fujino made.
Arrogant, underestimating the enemy...
When his reminder telegram was sent to Grandma Fujino, the second wave of reinforcements sent by Grandma Fujino had been ambushed.
After receiving the call from Fujino, Major General Matsumoto's heart skipped a beat and immediately realized that the Fengyun Town stronghold was in danger.
Although Linfen City has few troops, an infantry squadron and a battalion of the Imperial Army were dispatched to marches and reinforce Fengyun Town.
After the reinforcements were sent out, Major General Matsumoto was waiting for news at the command center.
Although he realized that Fujino had little chance of defending Fengyun Town, he still held hope.
Because after the Fengyun Town stronghold was lost, the huge changes and pressure brought to the entire Linfen were too great, and it even changed the situation in Linfen.
