At the command center of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, there are constantly staff coming and going.

"Sir, the aviation force reported that they bombed an Eighth Route Army gathering point~" said a staff officer who had just rushed into the war room.

Lieutenant General Fujino didn't show any smile on his face.

The chief of staff who rushed back next to him frowned and asked, "Team Commander, plus this air strike, the aviation army has bombed eight times. Even if they only bomb one company at a time, all eight times will be almost gone!"

"It's just these eight times that have problems!" Lieutenant General Fujino shook his head and replied.

"The Eighth Route Army exposed only three infantry battalions and one cavalry battalion, but our aviation corps exploded eight times, and these eight bombing points were very scattered. Each bombing point killed more than a dozen of our imperial troops, and two cavalry squads were directly killed~"

"Do you know what this means?"

The chief of staff replied thoughtfully: "The Eighth Route Army has divided its troops!"

"Yes, they have guessed that we will send air troops to bomb them today!" Fujino said affirmatively.

"Since they have prepared for a long time, how effective do you think our bombing will be? In my opinion, it is already thankful that one bombing can kill an infantry platoon of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Our bombing effect is not as good as expected!" The Chief of Staff suddenly reacted.

"It's really possible..."

"They are too cunning. If they were prepared for a long time, our bombing did not have much effect. Otherwise, the Eighth Route Army in North China would have been blown up by our aviation troops long ago!"

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff was anxious, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the war room and asked, "Teacher Commander, it's less than an hour away from noon... We really plan to retreat and give up this occupied area!"

Lieutenant General Fujino replied calmly: "The Eighth Route Army has a saying: If you have land and lose people, people and land will be lost. If you have land and land will be lost, people and land will be preserved~"

"I didn't understand this sentence before, but now I understand that the guerrilla war they fought with us is the best manifestation of this sentence!"

"Since this sentence is useful to the Eighth Route Army, it will definitely be useful to us!"

"As long as we keep the troops, no matter how many occupied areas we lose, we will have a way to retake them from the Eighth Route Army in the future!"

"However, the troops are gone, not only can they not defend the occupied areas, but they have no strength to confront the Eighth Route Army!"

"So, if it's time to retreat, we will retreat, and don't hesitate!"

"Order the troops to retreat immediately, and retreat to this line under the cover of the aviation force. Relying on the defensive positions on this line, prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing to attack Linfen!"

On the hill where Wang Ping was hiding, the bombing of the Japanese plane had been over for half an hour. Dozens of soldiers were inspecting corpses around several huge craters, hoping that there would be any accidents and find a living comrade here.

The power of the aviation bomb was too great. I searched it over and over again, but still couldn't find a living person. There were even a few soldiers who couldn't even find their bodies.

"The regiment commander, the casualties have been counted... 43 people were sacrificed directly, 6 people were seriously injured and combat power were lost, and a whole lot of the injured platoon was lost. Most of the soldiers sacrificed were caused by Japanese aircraft bombing!" The company commander found Wang Ping and reported with his head down.

"I'm all blamed for this. I'm too careless and shouldn't be greedy for small gains. I ordered the troops to clean the battlefield. As long as we retreat a minute earlier, the soldiers who died will survive at least half of them!"

"Captain, please punish me! Even if I shoot me, I don't say a word of nonsense. It's me that I'm sorry for those sacrificed comrades!"

"I don't blame you!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied.

"If you want to blame, blame the Japanese for being too cunning. You have done a good job. Kill a Japanese cavalry team in ten minutes! Let the comrades hurry up and rest. Tonight, we will go to seek revenge on the Japanese..."

"Yes, regiment commander..." The company commander replied with a serious look on his face, and a strong murderous aura radiated out of his body!

As soon as the guard company commander left, the communication soldiers not far away ran over.

"The leader of the regiment, Captain Zhou of the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army, sent a telegram, and the Japanese asked them to retreat immediately!"

"The Japanese who we attacked last night also wanted to retreat. They rushed to the base of the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army, and then retreated with the Fifth Regiment!"

"Did you say where to retreat?" Wang Ping's brow frowned.

"The Japanese didn't say anything. Captain Zhou reported: After the Japanese arrived at their base, they would tell them where they would retreat!" the radio operator shook his head and replied.

Wang Ping, who was frowning, hesitated for a long time before speaking: "The Japanese Commander is very smart!"

"Knowing that today's bombing will not have much effect, the troops will continue to defend here. We will definitely be killed by us tonight, and then they will be ordered to retreat now!"

"If people have lost their land, they will all be left. If people have lost their land, they will all be left. If people have lost their land, they will all be left. The Japanese have also covered this truth!"

"They want to save the troops and then plan to counterattack in the future and retake these occupied areas from us!"

The communication soldier didn't know these great principles. Seeing Wang Ping frowning and not speaking, he couldn't help but remind him: "Captain of the regiment, Captain Zhou of the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army is still waiting for your order!"

"In another two hours, the Japanese will arrive at their base, meet with them, and then retreat together!"

"We must never let them meet with the Japanese!" Wang Ping shook his head and ordered.

"Their combat effectiveness is too poor, and many people are still looking at the Japanese. As long as they meet together, Zhou Xutian and the others will definitely be exposed. With their little strength, they will definitely be killed by the Japanese..."

"What should I do?" the correspondent asked anxiously.

"The Japanese plane is on their heads. If they don't obey the order, they will definitely be suspected by the Japanese and then bombarded by the Japanese plane!"

"Reply to Captain Zhou!" Wang Ping hesitated for a few seconds and ordered.

"Let him call the Japanese in Linfen City, and the Eighth Route Army reconnaissance troops are found near the station. The Eighth Route Army is likely to have any major conspiracy. In order to avoid being deceived, please don't go there, they will retreat by themselves~"

"The first company of the newly formed Fourth Battalion seems to be closest to the Japanese. Contact them immediately. The troops will attack immediately based on squads, use guerrilla warfare, mobile warfare, and harass the Japanese retreating troops along the way."

"The troops near the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Army were stationed in squads to move me, and put on a reconnaissance terrain, and were ready to fight a big battle there!"

"The Japanese are paying more and more attention to their troops. This is beneficial and certainly harmful!"
