"Division commander, do you want to turn offense into defense?" The chief of staff subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Lieutenant General Ito shook his head and replied: "No, it's still an attack, but it's just a different way to attack the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Do you remember the encirclement and suppression order sent to us by the front army some time ago? I intend to change the mode of attack, to attack the new regiments around us, using the method that His Excellency the Commander did in the telegram, and to kill them! ”

The chief of staff frowned and asked, "But, Your Excellency the division commander, didn't you say that the speed of encircling and suppressing the Eighth Route Army in this way was too slow when you first received this telegram?" It's not possible to achieve substantial results in half a year, or even a year! ”

"That was before the new regiment leader Wang Ping came back!" Lieutenant General Ito did not hide his fear of Wang Ping in his heart!

"Wang Ping is too cunning to understand his combat methods and thinking. If you want to attack them, the first thing you need to do is to preserve your strength and not expose the slightest hole in the defense line in front of them. Otherwise, they will pounce on us and give us a deadly attack! ”

"Also, although the encirclement and suppression method of His Excellency the Commander is slow to take effect, it can allow the limited strength of the Imperial Army to be concentrated together, and not give the Eighth Route Army the slightest loophole to drill, and can only be passively beaten, and the living space will be compressed by us little by little!"

"Go and give an order immediately, and my side will contact the front army and prepare at least two months' combat supplies for us. I want to reduce the new base area to less than half of the original base area in two months! ”

Wang Ping, who returned to the new regiment's station, did not know that Lieutenant General Ito had changed his previous sweeping methods because of his return, and that an even greater crisis was rushing towards the new regiment.

"Regiment leader, the three inner ghosts all admit the fact that they were bought by the little devils, but the devils are too cunning, they transmit information in a one-line connection, and it is not clear how many cadres and soldiers who have been bought by the devils are hidden in our new regiment!" As soon as he returned to the station, Wei Yong lowered his head and came over, feeling very depressed.

"In other words, our plan to find out all the ghosts at once has failed!" Wang Ping's face also became solemn.

If you don't get rid of the ghosts, you will be like a transparent person in the eyes of the devil, and you won't have any secrets at all.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to defeat the devil on the battlefield!

After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Lao Wei, you are a professional counter-espionage talent, there must be other ways?" Tell me if there's a way to find out these ghosts as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Wei Yong replied.

"It is impossible for the information transmitted by the inner ghosts to be directly sent to the devils, and the intelligence network hidden by the devils in our base area needs to be sent up layer by layer. As long as we can take out these intelligence networks, we will definitely be able to find out a lot of internal ghosts! ”

"It's hard to figure them all out, though. However, as long as these intelligence networks are destroyed, even if these inner ghosts still exist, there is no way to send the information out! ”

"The only problem is that it takes a long time!"

"I have time!" Wang Ping replied immediately.

"It is not surprising that the new regiment will not have too many combat missions in a short period of time, and the whole regiment will focus on training as a whole. You have to hurry up and dig up more inner ghosts! ”

"But there is one thing to pay attention to, all the internal ghosts that are dug up must be stolen, and we must let the other party admit it in person and get solid evidence, so that we can execute them in accordance with military discipline, and we must not kill people indiscriminately......"

"Please rest assured, the head of the regiment, to ensure that the task is completed~" Wei Yong replied confidently.

A few days later, every move of the Japanese troops at the front reached the headquarters of the new regiment.

Everyone did not understand what the Japanese army was doing.

Obviously, he had all kinds of advantages, but he retreated without being attacked by any attack, and he also put on a posture of strict defense, which made everyone feel puzzled.

"Little devil, this is scared!" Wang Ping replied sharply.

"They are worried that these strongholds will be occupied by us overnight, just like the strongholds in Touguan Town......"

Hearing this, many people in the command had smiles on their faces.

Being able to fight a war to the point where the devils are afraid is definitely something to be happy about for the cadres and fighters of the new regiment.

However, Wang Ping didn't have much of a smile on his face.

With the reminder given by Commander Chen of the Military Region a few days ago, coupled with his own memory of this period of history, Wang Ping knew that the most tragic and arduous period was coming for the base areas.

After watching with a pair of surprised eyes, he decisively ordered: "Order, all the garrisons on the front line should strengthen their vigilance, once the devils launch an attack on the base area, immediately clear the wall, evacuate the people, and absolutely not let the people in the base area fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong was puzzled and asked, "Regiment commander, isn't the devil withdrawing the army?" Could it be that this is their conspiracy to paralyze us with the withdrawal of troops, and then suddenly attack us and take us by surprise! ”

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "Isn't it impossible?" What worries me the most is the telegram that Commander Chen sent us a few days ago! ”

"If the little devils in Linfen City change their sweeping methods and encircle and suppress our base area by encroaching step by step, coupled with the miserable three-light policy, we will definitely suffer heavy losses like several other military divisions!"

Zhong Chenggong immediately reacted: "I'll go and give an order~"

Before the front foot had left the headquarters, a communications staff officer rushed in.

"Commander, something happened......

"The newly formed 4th Battalion reported that their defense area was suddenly attacked by an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, and the people of a village were surrounded by devils without moving in time......

"The devil is too ruthless, he directly shoots those civilians with machine guns and forces our troops to show up."

"The second company of the new 4th Battalion, which is closest to the battlefield, was wiped out in the battle to rescue the civilians, but most of the civilians in the village were rescued by them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another communications staff officer rushed in and reported: "Regiment commander, the defense area of the third independent battalion was attacked by an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, and an infantry company was counter-surrounded by the Japanese army on the way to cover the transfer of civilians, and suffered heavy losses~"

"The three battalions were attacked by the Japanese ......"

"The fourth battalion defense area was attacked by the Japanese ......"

In less than half an hour, Wang Ping received at least 10 reports of troops being attacked.

Under the command of Zhong Chenggong, several operational staff officers quickly marked the battle situation on the combat sand table in front of Wang Ping.

"Commander, your judgment is right, the devil is indeed occupying our base area little by little by encroaching step by step. Then use the cruel three-light policy to force our troops to fight a decisive battle with them! ”

"You look at the map, the devils have dispatched a total of ten infantry brigades to attack the troops, each infantry brigade is five kilometers apart from each other, and it only advances less than twenty kilometers every day before stopping, building fortifications and garrisons to prevent us from counterattacking!"
