Chu Zhenhu said to Ma Mingchuan: "Brother Ma, I know that you are all for the good of your brother, but it is really dangerous for you to send someone to Ao Baoliang. That Chu Qi is just my nephew, not that important. If because of him, our people are captured by devils, it will be bad, we will take matters personally, how will we lead our brothers to fight in the future? ”

Although Ma Mingchuan was criticized by his brother, he was convinced, and he sighed in his heart that the personality charm and work ability of Director Han and Section Chief Li, and the rapid progress of the eldest brother who was born as a bandit, pulled himself far. At this time, Chief of Staff Wang and Director Zhen came to the two commanders to report on the fact that the new recruits in Coffin Ditch had joined the Independent Regiment. Brigade Commander Ding also called and transferred troops to the west. Chu Zhenhu ordered Ma Mingchuan to lead a company and make a feint towards Dagou, and the devils would come west sooner or later to prepare for delaying them and echoing Baiji's team.

Li Maotian went back to Dagou alone last night, and he met Hao Zizhong, the head of the meeting. Hao Zizhong scolded him for being a bloody dog, saying that he was disloyal and unrighteous when he heard people bewitch and abduct the congregation. He listened to them all for one thing, and that was to persuade him to lead all the congregations to join the Jehe Independent Mission. Of course Hao Zizhong is unwilling, he feels that he has Taoism, and he has been practicing for several years, the Japanese devils really dare to kill, and they have to let them taste the power of the Red Gun Club.

Another reason is that he is happy to be the emperor of the soil, with a radius of ten miles, with Dagou as the center, the big families have to stick to him to deal with bandits, and the poor have to look at his face when they have something. It is said that the wandering thief trembled when he heard his name, which further aggravated his plan to kill the devil. Xiaoqing, the big landlord Yu Mazi's play, always has eyebrows with herself, and it is a matter of time before she gets her hands.

People live in heaven and earth, they are all insects, everyone is afraid of death, Hao Zizhong is no exception, although he scolded Li Maotian, but he couldn't stop glancing at the Wang Ba box he inserted in his waist. He was really afraid that Li Maotian would pull it out and give him a guy, and it would be miserable.

Li Maotian left, Hao Zizhong raised his red face, shook his fat figure, and stepped up his training for the Red Gun Club, hoping to kill all the little Japan here.

Chu Zhenhu and Ma Mingchuan received the order of Brigade Commander Ding and divided the troops into two parts, most of which were stationed in Coffin Ditch and one in Chen Tushan, to contain the Japanese army.

The Baiji squad was stationed in Heilongtan and paid close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.

In the field hospital, which has already passed west of Cangcangba Liang, except for the wounded who could not be transported away (plus more than 900 newly wounded in Nantaizi) are still stationed in Lijiadian for treatment, the other two-thirds of the wounded have already driven through Cangcangba Liang. Cangcang Dam Beam, as the name suggests, is a beam with verdant trees, one of the three dams outside the mouth (the other two dams are Maojing Dam and Saihan Dam), the remaining vein of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and the exact is the remaining vein of the Northern Liang.

Brigade Commander Ding set up his headquarters at Wangying Fort north of Cangcangba Liang and Lijiadian, and the other main cameras were stationed in the villages east of Cangcangba Liang. A meeting of the commanders of the whole brigade was immediately convened, and it was decided to give Motegibu the battlefield east of Cangcangba Liang, west of the Dagou River, south of Tangjialiang, and north of Shuiquanliang. The commanders rushed to Wangying Fort and saw that it was a good place to command the battle. This place is higher than the Cangcangba Liang crossing, the east of the transport troops can control Lijiadian and the east of Tangjiashan and Houyin three ditches, the south can go straight to the Cangcangba Liang crossing, the trees become forests, can hide the soldiers, can be waiting, it is really a good place to strategize.

At noon on March 12, Motegi moved the brigade headquarters from Monkey Head Gou to Nantaizi and lived in the Jia family compound. He withdrew the troops led by Shimao Maru and Ono Shimozo, and ordered all Japanese troops from Tetsugoumon to Nantaizi to stand by in place. Okamura Ninji conveyed to him that the 15th Wing stationed in Udan had already gone to Hachiya Wagyu Yingzi and other places, and after marching towards Geumsan, he turned to say: "General Motegi, your command has been a bit of a failure recently, and the warriors of the empire have broken too much. ”

Motegi stood respectfully, shouting "Hai" from his mouth. Okamura then asked, "They are full of wisdom, but you have repeatedly fought with them, can't you see through it?" With your strong Fourth Brigade, you can't wipe out a fully formed branch of their China Brigade? Chief of Staff Koiso Kuniaki and I have repeatedly split up to supply you and do our best to support you. The Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade was originally transferred to Tongliao and renamed the Tongliao Heavy Artillery Brigade, but I transferred it to you without stopping......"

Motegi Maenotsuki kept nodding "Hai", and when he heard what he said, he interjected: "Commander Okamura, it's not that they don't pay attention to their schemes, it's that they are too cunning. All units of our Fourth Brigade are in the land of the fourth war, and half of the soldiers are not fully adapted to pure mountain warfare. Unlike the Northeast, the artillery could not move in place at every turn, while the small force of the Chinese army could move to a very small range, and it was repeatedly successful, so that the imperial army was exhausted...... In addition, last night's battle, it was really my pilots who were greatly blinded. How could they throw bombs, my headquarters was almost blown up into the sky, thanks to the protection of Amaterasu. They were impartial, the bombing of the 117th Brigade was as heavy as the bombing of the Imperial Army, and the warriors of the empire were killed too much, and even everyone in our brigade headquarters slept in a daze, and the shock made their heads ache......"

Okamura said: "Yesterday there was a reason, the flying team bombed in northern Liaobei for a day, and it was too tiring to support you, and the distance was far away...... Makino Masashi Daisa has asked Koiso Kuniaki for punishment. He said that the main reason for the blind fire in the black light is that it is impossible to distinguish between the enemy and our position. If you don't drop all the bombs, you won't be able to get any fuel left. I had to pick a position with dense gunfire and threw it. In the past few days, the anti-union in Tongliao has been rampant, and your flying team has to go to support the Oshima Brigade in the operation. Koiso Guozhao has already drawn troops from Jinzhou and Suizhong to quickly assemble in Houtougou. Your unit must bite the 117th Brigade and destroy it, so as to clear the north and complete the plan formulated by the Kwantung Army Headquarters to occupy Duolun......"

Motegi put down the phone, a little unable to turn around, and he prayed in the direction of Japan for a long time before he calmed down. The various units distributed on the avenue and on both sides have been built one after another, and some of those who have not eaten have begun to eat. The cooking squad of the headquarters was also not fully staffed, and the staff adjutant all started to eat with their hands on canned food.

Motegi hastily ate some food, and the plan in his heart was ripe, so he grabbed the phone and reported his plan to Okamura Ninji. In fact, as he reported, he was constantly refining and adjusting the actions of various ministries. As he spoke, he was uneasy, afraid that someone would be dissatisfied when he saw the 117th Brigade get up and drive away in the morning.

The 117th Brigade did not rush to kill everything, but also for its own safety, his own life should be taken care of, and he got up to fight, which can only be a lose-lose. But the defenders all had a certain death breath written on their faces, and it was not certain who would kill whom. It is true that there was no extermination of the people of China, only this time, and it had never been like this before when he fought against the Anti-Japanese Union and the Volunteers in Heijiliao. Everyone knows that this is a violation of military regulations. Out of the motive of the soldiers, he raised his hands sacredly, saluted the departing soldiers, and watched the enemy who did not give in to defeat go away.

He admired this army too much, and although he had been chasing them all along, the Fourth Brigade of the Imperial Army had not been victorious. Relying on the abundant supply of the Kwantung Army, the sophistication of guns and ammunition, and the well-trained soldiers, he was superior to the sharp decline in the number of the 117 Brigade and its isolation.

But every time they have a good plan, they have a solution; There are not many warring parties who fight to this extent, one side is convinced, and the other side is not afraid of danger.

Although he led the troops to fight for a long time, he was only famous in those battles, and he was not the only one who was promoted because of his merits at that time. From Dazuo to Major General, fighting wars has its own style, and leading troops has its own principles.

Motegi planned to change the usual practice of seeking opportunities in the north and south and providing heavy support in the middle of the road, and sent the 13th Wing in the front, the 17th Wing in the rear, and the heavy artillery brigade to support the camera. Okamura Ninji didn't fully agree with his strategy, and he said, "General Motegi, what I just said is really from the bottom of my heart, and you shouldn't have any ideas. Let's just say that in Rehe, you have led your troops to fight bloody battles these days, and the change of tactics tomorrow depends on the situation. We have also studied the basin east of Cangcangba Liang in Rebei, and needless to say, the 117th Brigade will draw a map for your Fourth Brigade Regiment. Therefore, the implementation of tactics must be determined according to the place and time......"

Motegi said: "Yoshi, what the commander said is very right, I will definitely obey the orders and adjust the tactics of each department...... Thank you to the commander and Chief of Staff Kuniaki Koiso for their strong support, and also to the Kwantung Army Command for their forgiving ......"

After saying this, Motegi hurriedly called a meeting of the captains and captains of the various wings to study how to attack east of Cangcang Dam Liang. Hanashima Juro walked into the headquarters and said to Motegi: "General Motegi, the defending guerrillas on Ao Baoliang have been investigated, and the 15th Wing of the Sixth Division of the Imperial Army has driven to Yangchang Mountain, and they have withdrawn after hearing this. According to the investigation, this unit is likely to be the eastern Hebei guerrillas, who are centered in Ningcheng and fight against the imperial army. This is a part of the work, which should be centered on Maojingba and Qilaotu Mountain......"

After listening to his report, Motegi felt a little more relieved, and said: "Hanajima-kun, your work is greatly good, and the imperial army is greatly rewarded...... Hanajima Juro said calmly: "General Motegi, you're welcome." I'm a soldier, I'm in the service of the Empire, and of course, I don't want any reward......"

Motegi bowed slightly, the higher his opinion of him. All the commanders of the headquarters nodded to him.

The staff members spread the map on the table, Motegi and the other officers gathered around, and the meeting began......
