After suffering a big loss at the hands of the new regiment, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ito, did not directly send troops to retaliate like other commanders, but died down and trapped Linfen City, with almost no movement for nearly half a year.

Of course, this is all on the surface, and secretly, Lieutenant General Ito has not been idle for a day.

After the safe withdrawal to Linfen, Lieutenant General Ito discovered a very important problem. A very important reason why the entire encirclement and suppression operation failed was that intelligence gathering was not as good as that of the new regiment.

The new regiment was able to control its own troops, equipment, and even the route of the march at all times. But he didn't know how many troops the opponent's new regiment had, what kind of equipment it had, and where the troops were hiding......

In order to solve this problem, Lieutenant General Ito spent half a year arranging the inner ghosts in the new regiment, and only then began to operate against the new regiment outside the city a few months ago.

With the help of the inner ghost, Lieutenant General Ito is finally no stranger to the new group.

On the battlefield several times in a row, he recreated a new regiment, but every time he suffered a heavy loss, his subordinates would have had the opportunity to completely annihilate those Eighth Route Army. However, at the critical moment, they were all released by Lieutenant General Ito.

Those inner ghosts were among the ambushed Eighth Route Army troops. After all annihilation, those inner ghosts are gone.

However, if you let them go, those inner ghosts will climb higher and higher, and then provide them with more important information.

It has to be said that Lieutenant General Ito was a very strategic commander, and his goal was achieved.

The inner ghost provided him with accurate information three times in a row, and directly recreated the three battalions of the new regiment, and the inner ghost was also promoted from a platoon commander to a company commander within half a year by virtue of the rest of his life, providing him with some more confidential information about the new regiment.

"Division commander, the inner line has just sent us a piece of information from outside the city!" The chief of staff of the division walked into Lieutenant General Ito's office and reported with an excited face.

For those ghosts hidden inside the new group, Lieutenant General Ito has specially ordered that unless there is important information, they must not contact the city to minimize the possibility of themselves being exposed.

Now the other party is risking exposure to send information to himself, there is only one possibility, something has happened to the new group!

"Wang Ping!" After reading the information, Lieutenant General Ito's body directly exuded a thick murderous aura.

In his mind, he will never forget Wang Ping for the rest of his life.

It was Wang Ping who allowed himself to experience his first fiasco, from the commander of a field division to the current commander of a local garrison division.

Although there was no specific order from the front army, Lieutenant General Ito had already smelled something unusual about letting him stay in Linfen to deal with the new regiment.

You must know that in the sweep a year ago, the heavy artillery and artillery wings directly under the divisions and regiments that the front army had strengthened for themselves were either lost or blown up. On more than one occasion, he reported to the front, asking to replenish these artillery, or at least to make up for the lost artillery of the artillery wing.

However, a year later, the front army only sent itself one field artillery brigade and one mountain artillery brigade, a total of twenty-four mountain artillery guns.

As for heavy artillery and tanks, the front army did not mention it.

There are no heavy artillery and tanks, even the artillery wing is not fully organized, and there is no need for orders from the front army, and in terms of firepower, the division has been reduced from a field division to a local garrison division!

All of this was caused by Wang Ping himself.

After returning to Linfen, Lieutenant General Ito did not explicitly say that he wanted to kill Wang Ping to take revenge. But he had already secretly sworn in his heart that he must kill Wang Ping and wash away the series of shame that Wang Ping brought to him.

Now that Wang Ping has finally returned from Yan'an, Lieutenant General Ito's first reaction is that his chance to take revenge has come.

The chief of staff next to him immediately said: "It is Wang Ping, the commander of the new regiment that hit us a year ago, he has returned, and he has arrived outside Linfen City, planning to command three battalions of troops to retaliate against us!" ”

"Then it depends on whether he has the ability to do it!" Lieutenant General Ito replied through gritted teeth.

"Contact our inner line, as long as you figure out Wang Ping's battle plan, send it to us immediately!"

"For this information, we will give him 5,000 yuan to buy ~"

The chief of staff replied: "The price has directly increased fivefold compared with the original, and I believe that our hidden inner line in these three battalions will definitely rush to send the information out!" ”

"Five thousand oceans, even if they leave the Eighth Route Army, no matter where they go, they can live comfortably for a lifetime!"

"I just want them to work hard~ If we don't work hard, we won't be able to grasp the movements of the Eighth Route Army in time!" Lieutenant General Ito replied with a frown.

"I spent a month studying this Wang Ping, and one of the important reasons why he beat us again and again is that he never plays cards according to common sense. And the combat speed is very fast, seize the opportunity to give the imperial army a deadly attack, and do not give the imperial army any respite! ”

"For an opponent like this, if we want to beat him, we have to be faster than him!"

"Therefore, we must also get information quickly, you notify the intelligence department, keep an eye on these insiders for me, as long as there is information to be sent, be sure to send it to me as soon as possible. If possible, I will seize this opportunity to kill Wang Ping! ”

"The intelligence said that this Wang Ping came back with a mission."

"The army grew to 30,000 in a year, and now more than 10,000 people have caused so much trouble to the imperial army. If there are really 30,000 people, I dare not imagine whether there is still a place for us in the southwest of Shanxi! ”

"This Wang Ping is too powerful, and it's hard for people to figure it out, as long as he is given time, he can definitely do this!"

"So, we can't give him this chance!"

"Seizing this opportunity and killing him is the easiest way for us to solve all our problems once and for all."

The chief of staff also became fanatical, and immediately replied: "I'll go and give orders!" ”

A day later, Lieutenant General Ito received information.

"Division commander, the new regiment plans to attack the stronghold of Touguan Town, because Touguan Town is the farthest stronghold from Linfen, and it is a traffic artery, just like a nail nailed to the base of the Eighth Route Army, which can be used as an advance base for our counteroffensive at any time. So we arranged there a dissatisfied brigade of the Imperial Army, a regiment of the Imperial Army! ”

"Nearly two thousand imperial troops and imperial cooperation troops, is the Eighth Route Army capable of taking them down?" Lieutenant General Ito asked rhetorically with a frown

"Yes, as long as the Eighth Route Army dispatches artillery, it will definitely be able to easily take Touguan Town!" The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

Then he added: "In addition, there is another factor why the Eighth Route Army chose to attack here!" ”

"Linfen City is nearly fifteen kilometers away from Touguan Town, and the infantry can arrive in three hours on a rapid march. However, here's a catch! ”

The chief of staff pointed to the map and introduced: "Here, there are nearly five kilometers of highway in the hilly area, as long as the Eighth Route Army has a thousand people here, it can stop us for two or three hours at will!" ”

Lieutenant General Ito frowned and sighed: "Wang Ping is worthy of being Wang Ping, and his vision is vicious!" ”
