The Chief of Staff directly snatched the telegram and read it in person. After reading it, he was stunned for a moment before saying to Matsui.

"General, it's true. Where did so many troops emerge from the New First Regiment? Could it be that other Eighth Route Army troops have arrived in Linfen?"

"This inference cannot be valid?" Major General Matsui retorted without hesitation.

"The entire North China is implementing the orders of the Commander and using the cage policy to block and divide the Eighth Route Army troops. If other Eighth Route Army troops enter Linfen, no matter where they go, they will not be able to escape our eyes!"

"Then how did they emerge!" the chief of staff shouted in confusion.

"The new first regiment has only a little force, a main force in Linfen North, and a main force in Tianxin Town. Now half a regiment has emerged in Fengyun Town. Where did they come from so many troops!"

Matsui frowned and said nothing.

After staring at the map for half a minute, I suddenly reacted.

He suddenly realized his mind and shouted, "I understand. Do you still remember that a few times ago, many of our prisoners who built artillery towers were robbed by the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army that appeared in Fengyun Town must be these prisoners who were robbed by the Eighth Route Army."

Then he was both angry and surprised and scolded: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army's development of troops was too fast. How long did it take to train a group of weak prisoners into soldiers, which was completely beyond my imagination!"

The Chief of Staff also reacted and asked in a hurry: "What should we do next!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications officer rushed over with an anxious expression.

"General, Fengyun Town stronghold is urgently powered. The Eighth Route Army has begun to attack the stronghold. They have artillery and the morale of the puppet army is also very low. Please support!"

The Chief of Staff immediately asked: "There is only a small team of imperial troops left in Fengyun Town. Even if there is a strong artillery tower for defense, it will not last long. General, you must send troops to reinforce Fengyun Town immediately!"

Major General Matsui frowned and cursed: "Don't I know if I send troops to reinforce? The key is, where are we going to reinforce Fengyun Town now!"

The Chief of Staff immediately thought that all the troops that could be sent out in Linfen City had been sent out, and now there was no more troops to send.

He hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Can you draw half a brigade from the troops returning to Tianxin Town to reinforce Fengyun Town!"

"No!" Matsui refused without hesitation.

"There is an old saying in China that is to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. This is what your method means. At that time, not only will it not be able to play a reinforcement role, but the reinforcements after the division of troops are likely to be seized by the Eighth Route Army to defeat them one by one!"

"Then let's watch the Eighth Route Army control Fengyun Town!" The Chief of Staff shouted unwillingly.

In order to mobilize the brigade commander to reinforce, the chief of staff took great pains and frowned and analyzed.

"In addition, Tianxin Town, which has been taken down by the Eighth Route Army, if Fengyun Town is lost again, two towns in Linfen will be controlled by the Eighth Route Army."

"General, these two towns are both the most populous and land-based towns in Linfen. Once occupied by the Eighth Route Army, the food we need to pay for this autumn harvest will definitely be greatly affected. Please think twice!”

"Also, from the benefits brought to the Imperial Army by the Linfen towns, we would rather give up the mountainous and hilly Linfen North than give up the many fertile lands and the many populations of Linfen South!"

Major General Matsui kept frowning and not speaking.

When the Chief of Staff was still preparing to continue to analyze, he suddenly interrupted: "We still have a unit idle and there is no fighting!"

"Now the new regiment has come out of the mountain, and it is so good that it will definitely not return to the mountain easily. Then the first brigade that we arranged on the blockade line around the mountain has been idle and guarded the stronghold and wasted troops.

"Immediately give orders to the First Brigade: "The troops gather quickly to reinforce Fengyun Town, and kill the Eighth Route Army that is active in Fengyun Town!"

Outside the Japanese and puppet army stronghold in Fengyun Town.

As a large stronghold, in addition to building a more than ten-meter-high artillery tower in the middle of the stronghold, the Japanese also built several shorter telegrams around the artillery tower. Each bunker had a machine gun and several rifles, basically sealing the roads that could attack outside the stronghold.

"Battery Commander, the Japanese machine gunners in the bunker are too tricky to fight, their firepower is fierce and accurate, and the soldiers can't rush over at all!" Second Company Commander Fan Wenlong complained with a frown.

After two consecutive attacks, the troops had already left nearly thirty bodies outside the stronghold, but there was no progress. They were anxious when they put them on everyone.

The Envoy also frowned.

I originally thought that the Fengyun Town stronghold was a piece of fat, but in fact it was a piece of hard bone.

He frowned and said, "The artillery tower and the bunker are all brick and stone structures, and the mortars are useless to hit them. The three mortars that had just been seized from the Japanese and puppet troops outside the artillery tower were not allowed to do anything to them. We must think of other ways?"

"Buzz buzz..." As soon as he finished speaking, the huge roar from the Japanese plane came to the ears of the Vengeful Army.

"It's a Japanese plane, notify the troops, disperse and hide, and wait until the plane leaves before attacking!"

Fortunately, the Japanese stronghold was built in the middle of the town, and houses were everywhere around.

In less than two minutes, everyone disappeared in the town.

If it weren't for the Japanese stronghold because of the large number of black smoke columns and the unburned fires that were still on fire, the Japanese pilots in the sky almost thought there was no battle here and had found the wrong target.

"Baga, where is the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold!" the Japanese pilot frowned and cursed.

He circled in the air very cautiously, getting lower and lower. After wandering around for five minutes but not finding the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese pilot decisively decided to retreat.

Although he did not get any punishment for his bomb drop error in the morning, the captain still scolded him severely. He also heard that the infantry below sued him directly to the headquarters for this matter. If it weren't for the squadron leader's support, he might have lost the qualification to continue flying and combat now.

Therefore, the Japanese pilots are very cautious now. Unless they are 80% sure, they will never drop bombs casually.

The Japanese and puppet troops guarding the stronghold had just breathed a sigh of relief less than ten minutes later, when the dense Eighth Route Army emerged from all directions again.

"We must find a way to end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise the Japanese plane will come and we will retreat once, and we will not be able to take down the stronghold even when it is dark!" The Envoy, who summoned several company commanders together, frowned and ordered.

"Also, no one knows when and where the Japanese reinforcements will arrive. It is too dangerous for the troops to gather together to attack Fengyun Town. We must fight and then divide the troops out."

"In this way, even if the Japanese reinforcements come, it is impossible to take us in one fell swoop!"

"I think about it, is there any way to capture the Japanese stronghold as soon as possible!"

In the next hour, whether it was attacking with earthen tanks, sending blasters to assault, or digging trenches to approach... all the methods that could be used were used, and the troops still did not take down the stronghold and lost nearly a platoon.

At this moment, instructor He Yun suddenly came over and reminded him with a worried look:

"Battery Commander, there is a situation. The stronghold cannot be captured for a long time, and the Japanese planes are constantly coming to harass me, so the morale of my troops has begun to turmoil!"

The Envoy was shocked and sweated all over.

He said with lingering fear: "I almost forgot that we are a newly formed army, with complex personnel. It's nothing to win a battle. Once we lose, the army will definitely be in chaos, and even defeat is possible!"

Then Xun made a decision: "You can't stay here with the Japanese anymore. You must ensure the morale of the troops through continuous victory, otherwise our combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly affected!"
