Lieutenant General Ito's thoughts at this moment were the same as Wang Ping's first feeling, and the Eighth Route Army was going to fight a decisive battle with him here.

However, when he thought of his strength, and the strength of the Xinyi regiment and his combat style, Lieutenant General Ito quickly denied this crazy and unrealistic idea. At this moment, the Chief of Staff rushed in and brought him very accurate information.

"The division commander, all the stations arranged in four directions, were attacked by the Eighth Route Army. Although their attack firepower was very fierce, it was impossible to pose a threat to our four stations for the time being because of insufficient troops. However, because the Eighth Route Army attacking us were equipped with many mortars, the troops of the four stations suffered considerable losses in the battle!"

"I understand~" Lieutenant General Ito frowned, and a sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"The purpose of the Eighth Route Army is very simple. Attack our main force, hold them back, and help their troops in the city leave the city!"

"The street fighting in the city has been fought for nearly two hours, and it can be seen that the Eighth Route Army's troops stayed in the city are all elite. However, no matter how elite ones are dissatisfied, they will face the end of the destruction of the entire army in front of the Imperial Army with absolute advantage. Unless they break through now, they will definitely be destroyed by us. The only thing we need to worry about is the time issue!"

"But, those troops in the city want to leave the city! It's not that easy. Let's not say that our 134th Regiment, which has already entered the city, will not agree, nor will the other troops blocking the gates of the four cities!"

"Since you can't get out of the city, the Eighth Route Army outside the city can only take the initiative to attack and respond to them, and then there will be the battle in front of you!"

The Chief of Staff also reacted and immediately replied: "Chief of the Division, since this is the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, I will immediately give orders to the four garrison troops to resolutely repel the Eighth Route Army's attack and defend the city gate. We must not let the Eighth Route Army in the city rush out!"

"No~" The Chief of Staff was very confused, and Lieutenant General Ito actually refused.

Just as he was subconsciously preparing to ask why, Lieutenant General Ito directly explained: "With thousands of imperial troops to block a city gate, and the hundreds of Eighth Route Army troops in the city are so wasteful!"

"Since the Eighth Route Army wants to attract our troops through this feint attack and then pick up their troops in the city from outside the city, then we will use our plans and give them this opportunity!"

"Aren't all four garrisons attacked by the main force of nearly 1,000 Eighth Route Army? According to the intelligence, the new 1st regiment had only more than 5,000 people left. When they went out to these troops in the city, there was still one battalion that had not moved. This battalion lurked around Linfen. As long as our troops moved, they would attack our defense loopholes, open a gap in our defense line outside the city, and contact the troops they left in the city!"

The Chief of Staff frowned even deeper, and asked with confusion, "Second Commander, since he has judged the Eighth Route Army's conspiracy, why do you still have to use the trick? Wouldn't you give the Eighth Route Army a chance?"

Lieutenant General Ito sneered and replied: "If you don't give them a chance, how can we kill them!"

"Kill them~" the Chief of Staff quickly reacted.

Then he stared at Lieutenant General Ito and asked, "You want to take this opportunity to kill the main force of the new corps... I understand, division commander, please give the order!"

Lieutenant General Ito's face quickly became serious, and then ordered: "The four garrisons left one infantry brigade to continue blocking the city gates. The other troops directly launched a counterattack against the current Eighth Route Army and killed them!"

"The Fourth Cavalry Regiment, the First Tank Squadron of the Tanks, and the First Tank Squadron of the Tanks, stand by on site and do not participate in the counterattack..."

The commander of the division commander Lieutenant General Ito was to kill the Eighth Route Army that attacked them.

The first idea of ​​several Japanese commanders was their most commonly used combat method, attacking head-on, circumventing on both sides, and eating the Eighth Route Army that attacked themselves in one bite.

And the only downside of doing this is that it takes time.

The detoured troops wanted to go around behind the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops without knowing their knowledge. They had to walk at least two or three kilometers, and even if they marched in a hurry, it would take 10 or 20 minutes.

It was these twenty minutes that gave Wang Ping a buffer time for layout.

If the Japanese have not had such a big appetite, just launch a counterattack.

With their strong combat power and assault ability, even if they cannot completely wipe out the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, they can still be severely damaged.

After all, new recruits account for a large proportion of the several offensive troops, and many new recruits are not even equipped with rifles, which is completely awesome for the battlefield, especially the three new main battalions.

At the front command of the new first regiment, the reconnaissance platoon leader Tang Guangxin rushed in panting like anger.

"The regiment commander... the Japanese moved. They sent a large number of detour troops to surround our attacking troops and then wipe out them all!"

Wang Ping's face changed and he responded quickly.

"No, the Japanese saw our conspiracy and wanted to use the trick to eat our attacking troops~"

"I still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Japanese division commander and Japanese devils~"

The troops here account for more than half of the total strength of the New Regiment. If something unexpected happens, the attack on the New Regiment will definitely be devastating.

So, when Wang Ping said something unexpected, Huang Yuanqiang and Zhong Chenggong became anxious on the spot.

"Captain, how do we fight next?" Zhong Chenggong asked subconsciously.

Although Huang Yuanqiang didn't say anything, his eyes were staring at Wang Ping, very nervous.

"The original combat plan changed!" Wang Ping quickly forced himself to calm down and make a decisive decision.

"Don't the Japanese want to wipe out our offensive troops? Then I will give them this opportunity! The Chief of Staff and the Radio Contacted the four battalion commanders to inform them of the information, so that they could seize the opportunity freely. Before the Japanese detour troops completed the encirclement, they should retreat quickly, and then take the Japanese pursuers to retreat to the defense line away from Linfen!"

"Order the assault battalion to be prepared for combat... As long as the main force of the Japanese are transferred by us, we will immediately launch an attack on the remaining Japanese troops at the city gate."

"Tell Jinkai, use all the firepower of the assault battalion, and tear a hole in the Japanese defense line in the shortest time, and contact the direct team and guard companies in the city!"

The Chief of Staff asked in relief: "Do you want to contact Captain Li and make them ready to break through!"

"No need..." Wang Ping shook his head and replied.

"Now that the gunfire in Linfen City is so dense, Li Wen must be fighting, so it is impossible to contact him. Moreover, with Li Wen's command ability, he should be able to seize the opportunity!"
