"Sir, there's an accident at the front!" Before anyone could see it, the anxious voice of the chief of staff sounded at the door.

Yamada got up from the bed with a rub, opened the door and asked, "Tell me clearly, what's going on at the front!" ”

"Isn't the garrison of the Pingdingzhuang stronghold reinforcing the front line? A nearby stronghold also sent a lot of reinforcements, with a total strength of more than 600 people, and it was easy to kill a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, how could there be a problem! ”

"It's these reinforcements that have an accident, even with the Pingdingzhuang stronghold!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"Impossible!" Yamada asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

The movements of his hands did not stop, and he put on his military uniform and rushed out.

Walking into the headquarters, it is obvious that the atmosphere inside is very oppressive.

Without waiting for him to speak, the chief of staff who followed behind him pointed to the sand table and introduced: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army attacked these two artillery towers at the beginning, using infantry artillery. The two turrets were destroyed by them without even holding out for ten minutes! ”

"By the time reinforcements from the Pingdingzhuang stronghold arrived at the battlefield, the battle was over. However, the Eighth Route Army, which attacked the two turrets, did not retreat, but set up a pocket formation on the battlefield to ambush our reinforcements~"

"It's not clear about the entire battle process now, but the reinforcements dispatched from the Pingdingzhuang stronghold must have been completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army!"

"How do you know, you don't even know the process of the battle, how do you know that they were completely annihilated!" Yamada asked rhetorically with a pair of eyes in his eyes.

"The Pingdingzhuang stronghold was raided by the Eighth Route Army ten minutes ago, and there was only one combat detachment of the Imperial Army and a platoon of the Imperial Alliance Army left behind in the entire stronghold, and the remaining squad leader just reported to the command headquarters and lost contact, it must be that the Pingdingzhuang stronghold was broken by the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army has the courage to attack our hinterland and attack the Pingdingzhuang stronghold, and it must have killed the reinforcements sent by the Pingdingzhuang stronghold. Otherwise, the back road of this Eighth Route Army may be blocked by us at any time, with heavy casualties, or even killed by us! ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, this is not like the combat style of the Eighth Route Army opposite us. They've been defensive-oriented for a few months now, and they haven't had any examples of attacking us. Now not only is it attacking, but it is also making a long run into our hinterland and taking a stronghold of us...... Can anyone tell me why! Yamada Dasa frowned and scolded, and then a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know about my humble position, but my humble position has ordered the intelligence department to strengthen the collection of relevant intelligence of the Eighth Route Army of the Suide Military Region!" ”

"Also, now there is a loophole in the defense area under the jurisdiction of the Pingdingzhuang stronghold, and I suggest that half an infantry brigade be transferred from the rear reserve, plus a battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army, to immediately reinforce the Pingdingzhuang stronghold and plug the gap!"

Yamada Osa shook his head with anger and replied: "No~ not only to plug the gap, but also to retaliate~"

"Isn't our operational plan for the Eighth Route Army's tentative offensive already completed, and it will be implemented tomorrow, Chief of Staff, you will send the battle plan to each squadron leader overnight, and let them deploy troops overnight, and launch an attack on time at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"The Eighth Route Army will eat one of our squadrons~ I will kill at least one of them tomorrow!"

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "Now there are only six or seven hours left before dawn, so in such a hurry, will it be too rushed!" ”

"No~" Yamada Osa replied with his head shaken.

"It's just a tentative offensive, just a little bigger, and the front line has enough ammunition to consume for a day. And there is no need for artillery support from artillery brigades, there is no need to mobilize artillery, for such a long time, it is enough for them to move! ”

"Also, tonight the Eighth Route Army just ate a few hundred of us and made a gap in our defensive line. According to the usual practice, we will definitely plug the gap during the day tomorrow and will not attack them~ I want to do the opposite, not to block the gap, and directly launch a counterattack from the gap to the opposite Eighth Route Army, and catch them by surprise! ”

The chief of staff replied with a face in front of him: "Commander is wise~ We suddenly attacked, and when we were caught off guard, the Eighth Route Army was definitely unprepared and suffered heavy losses!" ”

"I'm just going to let them lose a lot and teach them a lesson!" Yamada Osa replied with a sneer.

After bypassing the checkpoints and strongholds arranged by the devils along the way, at two o'clock in the morning, Wang Ping finally saw the faint city of Liulin County.

"Direct team, send a few good Japanese, bring the telephone to listen to all the telephone lines of the Japanese army to the outside of the city, see if we can get any useful information for us, and enter Liulin County tomorrow!" Wang Ping put down the binoculars and ordered.

As soon as he rested in the woods outside the city for less than an hour, Li Wen, who had personally led the team to investigate, rushed over with a solemn face.

"Commander, the situation has changed~"

"We beat the little devils too hard tonight, and they plan to launch a full-scale counteroffensive on the front line tomorrow to retaliate for our actions tonight!"

Wang Ping's brows furrowed suddenly!

In his battle plan, nothing would happen tomorrow, and tomorrow evening, the Suide Military District would launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese with the attack of two brigades. Of course, this all-out offensive is a feint, putting on a posture, creating momentum, attracting all the attention of the devils to the front line, and facilitating their own actions.

Now a retaliatory offensive has suddenly emerged, and the possible variables in it are too great to be interrupted temporarily if the plan of action is not carried out.

After forcibly suppressing the worry and uneasiness in his heart, he stared at Li Wen and continued to ask, "Have you heard the intensity of this retaliatory attack and the goal that the devil wants to achieve!" ”

"Yes~" Li Wen replied immediately.

"The intensity is not great, just to retaliate for our actions tonight, even their mixed artillery brigade will not be used. The main direction of attack is in the direction of the Pingdingzhuang stronghold, which is the gap we opened tonight! ”

"Listening to the tone of the devil, it seems that he intends to take us by surprise from there, feint from other directions, take us by surprise, and kill at least one of our regiments!"

Wang Ping's face, which was still tense just now, suddenly relaxed: "The little devil has calculated well!" ”

"If we hadn't heard this information, Commander Wang's side would definitely not have been prepared, and if he was caught off guard, even if he didn't lose a regiment, it would have suffered heavy losses!"

"Now that we know this information, the situation is different!"

"When the time comes, not only will we not suffer heavy losses, but we will also be able to kill the devil attack troops!"

"And what about our actions tomorrow night?" Li Wen asked.

"The plan of action remains the same!" Wang Ping replied.

"As long as the devils launch a general offensive and our troops can hold the defensive line, the plan will not change!"

"Also, the devil advanced the attack, and it was a tentative attack. It seems to me that not only is there no threat to tomorrow night's operation, but on the contrary it will be of great help! ”

"How?" Li Wen had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Ammunition is needed to fight a war, and a large number of convoys will definitely enter the county tomorrow, which creates an excellent opportunity for us to enter the county!"

"Also, if Commander Wang and they can kill the devil's attack force during the day tomorrow, then the devil's originally surplus troops on the defense line will become scarce, which will only benefit us to break through the county seat, kill the devil's artillery brigade, and tear a hole in their defense line!"
