"This method is good. With the garrison battalion, when encountering war, the main force can be driven out without worrying about the safety of the garrison. I agree that Feng Tao and He Wen will serve as the military and political chiefs of the garrison battalion first, and then exchange them back when there is a suitable candidate." Political Commissar Cheng Xiao said in a very agreeable manner.

Chief of Staff Zeng Quan followed and said, "I have no objection! In addition, I have another idea. Anyway, there are so many machine guns in our hands. I suggest that each infantry company add a crooked hand to get their guard squads equipped with machine guns to further strengthen the firepower intensity of grassroots troops!"

"Yes!" Wang Ping agreed without thinking!

This change did not have much impact on the independent regiment, but every battalion commander was very happy.

The infantry company added a crooked handle, the infantry battalion added a mortar and a heavy machine gun, all of which were real benefits.

So, as soon as the weapon was cut, they happily began to train the troops.

Three days later, the four gates of Laiyuan City were opened as usual.

The four Japanese infantry squads were as if they had agreed, and led the four infantry companies of the Imperial Army to walk out of the city gate with a look of vigilance.

The investigation team lurking outside the city gate was like a pack of wolves smelling blood, and they immediately began to act.

Sneak attacks, ambushing, burying mines... all kinds of methods are used on the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops leaving the city should be killed and injured as much as possible.

The Japanese troops who left the city were not vegetarians, so they fought back head-on.

Although the reconnaissance platoon was the elite recruited by Wang Ping from the Independent Regiment, he treated them as special forces for training and training.

But their establishment time was too short, and there was not even the shadow of the special forces.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, casualties occurred in the reconnaissance yard.

"Captain, the latest enemy situation report for the investigation and platoon!" After owning three radio stations, Wang Ping left one for the investigation and platoon so that he could know the enemy situation in Laiyuan City as soon as possible. Therefore, shortly after the Japanese army left the city, Wang Ping received the news.

"Take out of the city to burn, kill, loot, regiment commander, do the Japanese have the same idea as us and let the troops go out of the city to train troops!" Chief of Staff Zeng Quan expressed his thoughts.

"It's not impossible. In just over an hour, nearly one-third of the casualties were killed in the investigation and siege. It can be seen that they left the city with preparation, and all the elites came out!" Wang Ping replied in a heavy tone.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Immediately telegram Xu Hu and ordered him to stop acting. If the Japanese really left the city with the idea of ​​fighting and training troops, if they continue like this, it would fulfill the Japanese's wishes and the gains would not be worth the loss!"

"Then just watch the Japanese burn, kill, rob and abuse outside the city!" Political Commissar Cheng Xiao immediately raised his objection.

"We have many soldiers whose homes are around the county town. If we let them know that their village was robbed by the Japanese, but our Eighth Route Army is indifferent. I am sure that the prestige that our independent regiment just established in Laiyuan will collapse instantly!"

"Anyway, we must find a way to stop the Japanese from burning, killing, robbing and abuse the surrounding villages!" Cheng Xiao said the last sentence with a decisive and no room for negotiation!

Wang Ping quickly added: "Political Commissar, don't be anxious. I'll let the investigation and platoon be removed. It's not that I don't care about the devils and let them burn, kill, rob and abuse them on our land of China!"

"I was wondering, since the Japanese wanted to use us to train troops, can we do the opposite and use them to train troops!"

After saying that, he did not give the two people time to react and directly ordered: "Order the three battalion commanders to send troops immediately. I don't care what method they use, and I must let every new recruit see blood!"

"But there is one thing that the casualties of all attacking troops cannot exceed 20%. The purpose of this attack is to train troops, not to eliminate many Japanese and puppet troops. Regarding this, the Chief of Staff must explain it to them clearly when you give orders!"

Less than two hours after the three main battalions of nearly 2,000 Eighth Route Army left the garrison, the Japanese Army Command in Laiyuan City received information.

"Chief of Staff, all three main battalions of the Independent Regiment have been dispatched. Are our troops ready?" Major General Ono asked the Chief of Staff as soon as he saw the information.

"It's ready! We have sent more than a hundred intelligence officers and scouts in the past few days and have taken out several radio stations. It's certain that with the county as the center, all the areas within ten kilometers around us are under our surveillance. As long as there is a little turbulence, we will definitely know it as soon as possible."

"In addition, the troops we left the city were all elite troops carefully selected, and they were mixed with the Imperial Army, and even in uniforms, which caused great difficulties for the Eighth Route Army to wipe out them."

"This method is good!" Ono said with admiration.

"In the past, when fighting against the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army first shot the Imperial Warriors and Imperial Army officers, thus forcing the Imperial Army to surrender. If the Eighth Route Army could not tell who was the Imperial Warriors and who were the Imperial Army soldiers, then if you want to defeat them, you can only kill them all. This can also increase the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army and force them to have a different mindset."

"Because, even if they don't resist, the Eighth Route Army will treat them as the Imperial Army to death. Only by defeating the Eighth Route Army can they have a chance to survive!"

"Chief of Staff, you keep talking!"

"In addition to the troops leaving the city, we also prepared a mobile unit of an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Army in the city. In order to enhance the firepower of the mobile troops, I specially strengthened a mortar squadron for them, and the Imperial Army also strengthened a mortar company."

"Once the troops leaving the city are attacked, the mobile troops will divide the troops into multiple units to reinforce the Eighth Route Army, and then gather and annihilate them!"

Major General Ono reminded him very satisfied: "That's it! In addition, I will add another one. The reinforcements must also be mixed. If the military uniform can be mixed, they will be mixed!"

In a village three kilometers east of Laiyuan City, more than 100 Japanese and puppet troops were burning, killing, robbing and torture, and gunfire and screams kept coming from the village.

Li Yunshan, the company commander of the First Company of the Independent Regiment, was ambushing a mountain ridge not far from the entrance of the village. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops left the city and returned to the county town, they would definitely pass by them.

"Company Commander, the Japanese must have harmed the people in the village again. Otherwise, we will kill the village directly and let the people in the village suffer less!" A row of leaders asked for battle with red eyes.

"Shut up!" Li Yunshan cursed mercilessly.

"If you do this, not only will you not be able to save the people in the village, but you will also kill them!"

"The guns and bullets are eyeless. When fighting against the Japanese in the village, how many people will be injured by accident? Do you want it? Also, if the Japanese are anxious to jump over the wall and threaten us with the people as hostages, what do you plan to do? How many people will be massacred by the Japanese at that time!"

"I can't help but want to endure it. Tell me that you're all ambushed. Since we're one step late and didn't stop the Japanese from entering the village, then we'll wait for them to come out before we get rid of them and avenge the villagers!"
