At the 136th Infantry Regiment, the corps captain was excited when he gave orders.

In another ten minutes, it only takes ten minutes to block the back of the Eighth Route Army in front of you and then encircle and annihilate them.

The four infantry regiments under the division were under the division, but the 136th Regiment did not suffer much casualties during the more than ten days of marching. If I could also kill more than a thousand Eighth Route Army in front of me with very small casualties tonight, the corps captain will definitely become the most popular corps captain of the entire division!

The division is still missing a brigade leader, so the position of this brigade leader is just for himself.

"Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacking us seems to be retreating!" A report suddenly interrupted the beautiful dream of the regiment captain.

The fat meat sent to his mouth actually wanted to slip away, so he absolutely did not allow it... This was the first thought of the regiment captain at this moment.

He frowned and ordered: "Order the detour troops to speed up... and block the troops head-on and counterattack directly. The offensive must be fierce. At the thunderous momentum, the Eighth Route Army's retreating troops can kill as many as they can?"

The sound of gunfire that had just become weaker on the battlefield became fierce again.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers, holding bayonets, rushed out of the station like wolves and tigers, and their weapons were also constantly shooting forward...

As the sound of gunfires became farther and farther away from him, another subordinate rushed over: "Sir, the detour troops only cut off less than one company of the Eighth Route Army, and the others ran away. The counterattacking forces asked to pursue immediately and kill them!"

"Agree!" The captain of the corps made a decisive decision.

Then he thought of the instructions of the division commander Lieutenant General Ito, frowned and reminded: "But I want to remind them that it is night now, and the Eighth Route Army is best at night and guerrilla warfare. Therefore, the pursuit troops must not divide their troops, and they cannot pursue them alone too far. We have just come here and are not familiar with the terrain. We may be bitten by the cunning Eighth Route Army!"

"In addition, the captain of the First Brigade is appointed as the temporary commander, and at the same time command all attacking troops!"

At the command of the Japanese division, a total of four and eighth Route Army troops broke through and retreated one after another, and also reached Lieutenant General Ito's ears.

Faced with the pursuit orders issued by several regiment captains, the first reaction of the division chief of staff was inappropriate!

"The division commander, the troops have been chased out. Isn't that a chance to give the Eighth Route Army the opportunity to attack our left-behind troops and to receive the internal teams of their city?" the Chief of Staff reminded with a frown.

"I suggest that we send telegrams to several corps captains immediately to stop chasing them. Anyway, we did not lose much, and each unit more or less eliminated some of the Eighth Route Army. In terms of the results of the battle, we did not suffer any loss!"

"Also, it's dark now, our troops are not familiar with the place, and they are easily attacked by the Eighth Route Army or even counterattack..."

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and refused very decisively.

"No, if our troops do not attack and are not deceived, how can we lure the hidden troops of the Eighth Route Army out and then wipe out them all!"

"As for the night battle you are worried about, we can remind several regiment captains that all attacking troops cannot chase them too far, cannot go deep alone, and cannot divide the troops. This way there is no problem!"

The chief of staff frowned and did not let go. He hesitated for a while and continued to remind him: "But we don't know where the Eighth Route Army's lurking troops were hiding and which city gate would be used to meet their troops in the city. Our cavalry corps and chariot troops were both in the west of the city. It would take twenty minutes to quickly reinforce the other city gates, and it would take more than half an hour to slow down. There may be many accidents in such a long time!"

Lieutenant General Ito replied confidently: "I still have this confidence!"

"Each city gate has a private brigade arranged for each of our city gates to stay. Even if the Eighth Route Army has a regiment, an infantry brigade can easily hold on for half an hour. What's more, based on our judgment of the Eighth Route Army's strength, this hidden brigade can be at most a few hundred people, which will pose a smaller threat to our left-behind brigade!"

The chief of staff finally relaxed.

He hesitated for a moment and replied: "You are right, you are right, I am worried too much... I will send telegrams to several corps captains to ask them to strengthen their vigilance, especially the attacking troops..."

The battle situation on the front line of the new first regiment was continuously summarized into this small command center through reconnaissance and arrangement, so that Wang Ping could refer to it and issue new combat orders.

"Regiment Commander, the latest situation, the Japanese troops guarding outside the four city gates all dispatched a large number of troops to pursue our retreating troops..."

Wang Ping did not show any smile on his face.

At present, the situation is developing in the direction of one's own inference. However, it is still unknown whether the assault battalion can successfully handle the direct team and the guard company. There are many other factors to consider.

He frowned and stared at Tang Guangxin and asked back.

"Let's find out immediately how many Japanese devils left at the four city gates, the faster the better!"

"Chief of Staff, order the assault battalion to prepare for combat, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers, and infantry artillery, all of them are set up for me!"

After twenty minutes of difficult waiting, Tang Guangxin finally came back.

"The regiment commander, I have figured it out. There is a left-behind unit of infantry brigade in each city gate, blocking the city gate..."

"In addition, there are still one or two thousand cavalry and a chariot brigade of the Japanese garrison in the west of the city without moving~"

Huang Yuanqiang, who had not spoken, suddenly interrupted: "Captain, the Japanese must have known the purpose of our battle~"

"There are one infantry brigade left at the four city gates, and they are blocked at the city gate. This is obviously to prevent us from sending troops to meet the troops in the city!"

"There are also cavalry and chariots in the west of the city, which are very mobile. No matter which city gate is attacked, they can quickly reinforce, and then use their powerful assault capabilities to kill our support troops~"

"The Japanese have laid a huge trap waiting for us to drill!"

"I suggest that you stop the action now and don't let the assault camp take risks!"

"As for the guard company and the direct team, Linfen City is so big that they can lurk on the spot. When the wind is over, they will find a way to leave the city!"

The political commissar's proposal is undoubtedly very pertinent, directly minimizing the losses of the troops.

However, there was no change on Wang Ping's tense face and he insisted on answering: "The action cannot be stopped!"

"Political Commissar, you ignored the revenge of the Japanese..."

"If they don't leave the city, they will continue to lurk in the city. With the Japanese character, even if they turn Linfen City into a bottom, they will find out the guard company and the direct team. During the whole process, there must be a large number of people in the city who are hidden and massacred by the Japanese, even those people are unwilling to leave the city to take refuge!"

"Hundreds, or even thousands of unarmed ordinary people were massacred because of our guard company and direct team. As the leader of the new regiment, I, Wang Ping, would never allow this to happen. Even if I fight the guard company and direct team, I will do nothing to do!"

Huang Yuanqiang was stunned for several seconds before he reacted, and then replied with a painful look on his face: "Our Eighth Route Army is a team of ordinary people. I feel that we can't let the people die because of us, and so many people die... The regiment commander, you are right!"
