Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong also found a problem and frowned and analyzed: "Captain, the Japanese are so strange this time!"

"In the past, they would never retreat in shame, and they didn't even give us the chance to fight. You know, retreating without seeing us is definitely a huge challenge to the Japanese military morale and morale!"

"This must be the masterpiece of the brigade commander who has not yet taken office!" Wang Ping frowned and judged.

"Major General Kawaguchi! Kawaguchi, who has just been promoted to major general in the main force corps, is preparing to take over the position of Matsumoto!" Zhong Chenggong's face suddenly became solemn.

Then he analyzed in a heavy tone: "If it was his work, then Linfen City, the upcoming brigade commander, will definitely be more difficult to deal with than Matsumoto!"

Wang Ping frowned and analyzed: "Although Matsumoto is very powerful, he is very impulsive and values ​​honor very seriously. This is his fatal flaw. And this brigade commander who is about to take office obviously does not have this shortcoming."

"I judge the situation. Although I don't know if he saw that we wanted to consume a lot of their purpose in counterattacks. However, at the beginning of the battle, he was able to give up all villages and towns outside the county town, shrink his troops to defend the county town, and save the troops. This alone is stronger in his practical experience than Matsumoto. Especially this kind of experience and overall view of commanding large-scale troops to fight is definitely better than Matsumoto!"

"Chief of Staff, you're right just now. We met a very powerful opponent this time!"

Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang followed closely and added: "The devils do this, which brings us a problem!"

"According to the reports of the four battalions, after two days of battle, they only eliminated one garrison squadron of the Japanese, and less than one garrison of the puppet army."

"This means that the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in several counties have nearly 2,000 people, and at least 1,500 people. So many Japanese and puppet troops are stationed in the hinterland of our base, and they may leave the city and bite us at any time, just like staring at a nail in the hinterland of our base!"

"Also, although the Japanese and puppet troops retreated to the county town, their intelligence network outside the city certainly did not retreat. This means that every move we make in these places cannot escape their eyes. As long as we have the chance, they will come out to attack us. And for the sake of the safety of the base, we had to draw heavy troops to guard the county town. As long as the Japanese attackers left the city, they would attack them, forcing them not to dare to leave the city."

The analysis of the political commissar made the atmosphere in the command center more depressing.

The regiment commander Wang Ping and the chief of staff Zhong Chenggong both frowned and stared at the sand table without saying a word.

Suddenly, the voice of the communication platoon leader broke the atmosphere.

"The leader of the regiment, political commissar, chief of staff, and the military region urgently!"

Chief of Staff Zhong successfully received the telegram and started browsing. His face, which was originally not good-looking, became even more ugly at this time.

But because the telegram came from the military region, and the orders and decisions also came from the headquarters, although Zhong Chenggong was very angry, he could not be angry. He could only hand the telegram to the regiment commander with dissatisfaction and a depressed expression.

"Captain, please see it yourself!"

"The military achievements we have finally achieved were reduced by half at once, and the remaining military achievements will be dispersed to other troops!"

Soon, Wang Ping and Huang Yuanqiang learned about the content of the telegram.

Although I felt uncomfortable and aggrieved, I comforted myself: "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, isn't that much?"

"As long as the military region knows our military achievements, the headquarters knows, and Yan'an knows it. As for Chongqing, it doesn't matter whether we know it or not. Anyway, we are not the same as them!"

"Also, you can't not know the principle of shooting a first bird. I not only have no objection to the military achievements, but also agree very much!"

Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang also reacted and added: "I agree with the regiment commander's meaning. As long as the military region and headquarters know our military achievements!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, he continued: "I have no objection to the headquarters' decision. It's just that, the above mentioned, let us attack the county town, the regiment commander, I think the time is not yet ripe. It is too risky to act rashly, and the possible casualties of the siege can be too great, we can't afford it!"

Wang Ping did not answer, stared at the combat sand table in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, staring at Zhong Chenggong, who looked much more beautiful, asked: "Chief of Staff, you just said that the first battalion had almost no food seized in the entire Xiangfen territory? However, as far as I know, the land area in Xiangfen is more than Linfen, and the grain output is also very large. The Japanese will definitely not let Xiangfen's grain go. What's going on?"

Zhong Chenggong quickly replied: "The land in Xiangfen is indeed very large, with nearly 200,000 mu. The grain output this year is at least 20 million kilograms. According to the Japanese tax standards, they can get at least 10 million kilograms of grain. With the Japanese's greedy personality, they will definitely not throw away so much grain!"

"It's just that we're late!"

"After the grain was collected by the Japanese, it was sent to Xiangfen County. It is estimated that there are at least nine million kilograms of grain!"

Wang Ping nodded, stared at Huang Yuanqiang and continued to ask: "Political Commissar, plus the grain snatched from the Japanese, how much inventory we have in our hands now!"

The political commissar, who had long known the family of the New Orleans, replied without thinking: "The two armies robbed back a total of 7 million kilograms of grain. The public grain from Linfen and the seized land collected a total of more than 1.6 million kilograms. However, more than 1.2 million kilograms of grain were used to compensate for the robbery. In addition, the grain we are about to use to reclaim wasteland, there should not be much left in this more than 600,000 kilograms of grain."

"Also, if we reduce the consumption of thousands of people in our new group, we can only stock up to six million kilograms of grain!"

"The second battalion can send back 1.5 million kilograms of grain, the third battalion can send back 3 million kilograms, and the fourth battalion can send back 3.5 million kilograms, which adds up to 14 million kilograms!"

Wang Ping suddenly smiled on his serious and solemn face, and then stared at the political commissar and asked.

"In other words, if we grab more than 9 million kilograms of grain that the Japanese have sent to Xiangfen County, the grain in our hands will directly exceed 20 million kilograms, reaching an astonishing 23 million kilograms!"

"It shouldn't be that much!" Political Commissar Huang Yuanqiang shook his head and replied.

"It is impossible to have all the grain seized by several counties in stock. We must take out part of it to compensate the people! We must also take out part of it to reclaim wasteland. But the last 20 million kilograms of grain must be there!"

Wang Ping replied very satisfied: "Twenty million kilograms are enough! With the land we reclaimed in the base area, even if we encounter dry land, we can survive!"

The political commissar suddenly reacted: "Captain, you want to attack Xiangfen County!"

Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "The headquarters and military regions both need such a record, and Xiangfen County has the food we urgently need. In addition, all the Japanese and puppet troops around Xiangfen are too busy to take care of themselves and cannot send troops to reinforce them. Why don't we seize such a good opportunity?"
