After hesitating for a long time, the deputy captain did not answer the captain, but asked a question that the troops were about to face.

"Sir, the troops have suffered heavy losses. Should we continue to move forward next?"

"Come on, go ahead and die!" The captain, who was full of anger, replied unhappily.

The deputy captain thought for a while and replied: "The Imperial Army has nearly one regiment of troops. Chief, they can fight!"

"Just them!" A sarcastic expression appeared on the captain's face.

"There is not enough number of imperial troops to supervise the war. Can you be sure that they will not betray the imperial army and surrender to the enemy on the battlefield when facing the Eighth Route Army?"

"This!" The deputy captain hesitated.

Although the Imperial Army suffered no losses in one day and one night, the Imperial Army's losses were obviously greater than the fear they brought about by their own losses.

The deputy captain could see that they were already full of fear of the new group that had not really appeared on the battlefield.

In this case, they will be allowed to go to the battlefield, and the situation the captain said would be like the situation, betray the Imperial Army and surrender to the Eighth Route Army.

The captain did not give the deputy too much time to think, and frowned and ordered: "Get the troops together, take the wounded, change the back team to the front team, and retreat immediately. Go directly to Linfen City, where it is close, the faster the better!"

Guard Company, Reconnaissance Platoon, Engineer Platoon... More than 200 people had completed the assembly, Xiong Changhe rushed over.

"Captain, good news, the Japanese are retreating!"

"Retreat!" Wang Ping asked with disbelief.

Then he rushed to the slope where everyone was hiding.

"The Japanese are indeed retreating. Commander, we won!" Zhong Chenggong, who was following behind, shouted with excitement.

Xiong Changhe followed closely and added: "Captain, since the Japanese have retreated and given up Tianxin Town, we might as well build a base here!"

Wang Ping did not show any smile on his face, but instead frowned.

He frowned and asked, "Build a base? Who told you that the Japanese gave up Tianxin Town!"

"Isn't it? They have retreated, will they still be called back?" Xiong Changhe asked back.

"Of course I will call back, and it will be very soon!" Wang Ping said affirmatively.

Zhong Chenggong and Xiong Changhe both showed confusion expressions on their faces.

After sighing, Wang Ping explained with a calm face: "Our opponent is very smart."

"Although there are more than 1,000 Japanese and puppet troops on the road, there should be less than 300 real Japanese soldiers left. If this person continues to move forward, he will definitely deliver food to us. Especially the puppet troops in a regiment, they may bring us half of the regiment's recruits!"

"He saw it very clearly, so he chose to retreat."

"But don't forget that as long as they are not completely wiped out by us, after returning to Linfen City, add hundreds of Japanese soldiers to come in, and the troops can quickly recover their combat effectiveness and then come back to us!"

"With this experience and lesson, once the Japanese come back, it will be difficult for us to attack them on the road and destroy them. At that time, we will rely on two incomplete infantry battalions to resist the two thousand Japanese and puppet troops. Have you ever thought about such a result?"

"It's really possible!" Zhong Chenggong and Xiong Changhe's faces became solemn.

At this time, Xiong Changhe suddenly suggested: "Captain, what if we wiped out them all?"

"Then the Japanese will re-evaluate our strength. Even if they want to fight back to Tianxin Town to encircle us, they will have to draw new troops over, and the troops will be far more than 2,000." Zhong Chenggong said in an instant.

And his eyes shone and analyzed: "Not to mention that the Japanese in Linfen City have limited troops and cannot draw out their troops to attack us. Even if they can draw out their troops, we will be much easier to fight against new troops that have never fought with us!"

"But!" Zhong Chenggong suddenly sighed and then continued.

"The Japanese have now begun to retreat. From here to Linfen City, as long as they seize the time to march, they will arrive at eight o'clock tonight, and we will have no chance to kill them!"

The hope that Xiong Changhe had just ignited was also shattered, frowned and said nothing.

Wang Ping suddenly spoke, "No, we still have a chance!"

"Since you have seen the huge gap between them and those who have not completely wiped out, I won't talk nonsense. Now, more than 2,000 Japanese and puppet troops have been beaten into a sick cat by us. It's a delusion to finally stop the net and actually want to run away!"

"Of course, even if they really want to live, they must leave us something."

"Since we came out of the mountain, we had no losses of 1,000 or 700 to 800. As for ammunition, we almost used up all reserves. If we don't get any benefits from the Japanese, we will lose a lot!"

Wang Ping of Xiong Changhe asked: "Captain, you have a solution!"

"Take your camp and go out now. No matter what method you use, be sure to rush to the front of the Japanese and destroy the Japanese's only way back to Linfen for me!"

"The Japanese were equipped with mountain cannons and infantry cannons, as well as more than a dozen large trucks loaded with ammunition and corpses, so they could only walk on the highway!"

"If the road is destroyed, they can only marches while building the road, unless they give up all the heavy weapons and large carts, and there are hundreds of corpses!"

Xiong Changhe reacted quickly and shouted with excitement on his face.

"The devils will definitely not give up hundreds of corpses unless their commander doesn't want to live!"

"Captain, your method is definitely feasible. I'll do it now!"

Wang Ping continued to order: "Chief of Staff, as long as I drag the Japanese tonight and avoid the annoying Japanese planes above my head, I will have a way to kill them!"

"So, contact the Third Battalion Commander immediately, bring all the troops and light and heavy weapons that can be fought, and divide the troops to gather here!"

Wang Ping pointed to a point on the map and said confidently.

At this moment, the communications platoon leader suddenly came over with a serious look on his face.

Wang Ping's good mood just now disappeared all of a sudden, and he had a very bad premonition.

He stared at the communication platoon leader and asked, "Is it the Second Battalion or the Fourth Battalion?"

"The Fourth Battalion, the Fourth Battalion Commander urgently sent the Japanese to transfer the first brigade on the blockade line to deal with them. Now they have entered Fengyun Town and are about to exchange fire with them!" The communication platoon leader answered immediately.

"The First Battalion, that is the well-deserved main force of the Japanese. He has rich combat experience and has been guarding outside the mountains to fight with us. He knows us very well. The Fourth Battalion has met an opponent!" Wang Ping sighed and answered helplessly.

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also frowned: "The Japanese are coming in a fierce manner and directly dispatch troops from behind the Fourth Battalion. The Fourth Battalion must have not expected it!"
