Due to Shintaro Umei's continuous reports, Maenozuki Motegi had to turn his mind back to the beautiful porcelain of Ogamikyo and study the map carefully. After all, he was a top student at the Imperial University, and he devoted himself to studying Sun Tzu's Art of War for many years. As soon as I researched it, I came up with an idea. He turned to Umei and said, "Umei-kun, he can't run away from the 117 Brigade...... Umei also became interested, and hurriedly complimented: "General Motegi, you are a famous general in the Kwantung Army, and you have always been full of wisdom, and the 117 Brigade is familiar with the terrain, otherwise, Brigade Commander Ding plus a few red elements, which is your opponent." If you are familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and if you use a little strategy, you will defeat them greatly, and it will be a matter of time before all units of our Fourth Brigade and Regiment fully occupy Rebei......"

Although Motegi felt that Umei was a bit too flattering, he was secretly happy at the thought that the occupation of Rehoku would allow him to excavate the relics of Kogamikyo. When the time comes, it will be good for Zhi Nei to open his eyes, and also make Dr. Fu hungry. Then he said to Umei: "Chief of Staff Umei, you see that the 117th Brigade always lets go of Dachuan, and the north and south ravines are preset for ambushes, as long as the imperial army goes to attack, they will seize the opportunity of the imperial army to find them to fight. When the imperial army attacks the north, they will be honest in the south......" Umei listened to his reasonable analysis, his head was like a kowtow worm, and his mouth was still complimenting.

Motegi interrupted him again and said, "This time, let's attack like this, the main force of the imperial army will drive along Chiwei Avenue to Nantaizi, occupy this central axis, and see how their ambush troops move in the north and south." No matter how they move, I will deploy the Lushun Heavy Artillery Brigade in the area of Tiegoumen and Xiayingzi, so as to cope with all changes......"

At noon on March 8, Brigade Commander Ding was in the war room of the Nantaizi Headquarters, thinking hard, when will the old devil Motegi enter the army, and what tricks will he play? He and the deputy brigade commander Ji Zhanwen and Chief of Staff Zhang calculated that if Motegi did not enter the army by the 10th, the wounded of the 117th Brigade would basically be transported to the west of Cangcangba Liang, and then the main force of the brigade would let go and retreat westward. As long as you reach the boundary of the enclosure, you will echo with the 240th regiment left by the military headquarters to respond. This is the first strategy, so why use the strategy of quick withdrawal? The reason is that the 117 Brigade is too tired except for the wounded; At the same time, in addition to the captured Japanese guns, the original various types of Mauser guns were too bad, and it was a pity to throw them away.

There is also a second strategy, if Motegi marches to Nantaizi soon, he must not leave those wounded behind. According to the strategy of Director Han and Section Chief Li, anyway, he was defeated, and on this half of the arrow river, he opened the ring with him and fought fiercely; Really fight and kill, avoid my shortcomings, promote my strengths, and let him go back to the East with his brain.

They're looking at the second strategy for emergency preparedness. Brigade Commander Ding had a hunch that yesterday was a main force of Motegi, and when he reached the back of Liang, he was about to go to the Gaojiagou ambush position, and suddenly withdrew his troops. It shows that Motegi has a very smart nose, and has clashed with the defenders many times, and has figured out something according to the defenders' north-south echo. If the devil kills again, it is impossible to go back to the same place yesterday to repeat the mistakes of the past. He also predicted that Motegi would change his previous style of fighting in search of the main force of the defenders......

Chief of Staff Zhang was busy drawing a specific combat map, and Deputy Brigade Commander Ji said: "Brigade Commander Ding, according to your prediction, Motegi is likely to change the previous way of seeking opportunities to fight. Then, they are indeed likely to kill directly along the avenue and place the heavy artillery units within the eastern firing range......" Brigade Commander Ding said with a light smile: "It makes sense, I also have this hunch......"

Chief of Staff Zhang had already finished sketching out the battle situation map in Nantaizi, and raised his pen to circle it according to the meaning of the two commanders. The 235th Regiment moved eastward from Gaojiagou to Lianghou and Xiaoshangen to set up an ambush, and if there was a fight in the Nantaizi area, it could drive directly south from Xiaoshangen to the Yingzi area, and the camera moved. If Motegi still sent the main force to attack Gaojiagou, the 235th Regiment must take advantage of the familiar terrain to quickly detour back to the west of Lianghou and the mouth of Gaojiagou, so as to ambush the devils in the closed mountain and forest area. The 233rd and 234th regiments in the ravine to the south should be prepared to support the wolf ditch to the east and move to the west to jump out of the devil's attack area......

Regarding this latter article, Chief of Staff Zhang added: "The two regiments of Nangou and Xigou may attack Nantaizi and quickly attack the small group of devils who attack on the spot...... and the two commanders agreed to his addition. They admired this young chief of staff very much, the last graduate of the Baoding Army Military Academy, who could write and draw, and his mind was full of modern military knowledge, which was really worthy of a great task. Look at him like an aspen facing the wind, a height of one meter eight, a long face, big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and towering sword eyebrows; On both sides, the shoulders are slipping through the water, shrugging a sassy heroic posture. Although he is also tired, his gestures give people a youthful atmosphere.

He picked up his pen again and reorganized the above plan into a systematic draft of combat orders. After all this was completed, he was responsible for taking the draft to the headquarters next door for Director Han and Section Chief Li, who were busy in the room, to see it...... The new battle plan was also refreshing for both of them. In view of the frequent fighting, Director Han suggested that the headquarters be moved to the old residence of the Meng family on Kara Street, west of Liujia Village. Section Chief Li was deliberately dressed up by the progressive Feng Jingwu from Houtougou, escorted to Yonghu Yingzi, and asked him to come back from the mountains and forests.

His temporary departure, Bai Ji was very reluctant, and wanted to leave this superior and excellent commander there. But Brigade Commander Ding did not allow it, first, Section Chief Li was a senior commander left by the military department, and he couldn't afford it once there was a trouble. Second, there are important matters in the brigade headquarters that need to be participated in by Section Chief Li. At this time, he was contacting Lao Chu and ordering him to transfer Liu Lintao or Zhen Yupeng to the Baiji team and be the deputy captain of the Baiji team......

Lao Chu sent several teams transporting guns, ammunition, and medicines from Wucha Mountain, and traveled around the dense forest to Gaojiagou to transport these things. Ma Mingchuan was just talking to Haritu, and he didn't care on the surface, but in fact, his psychology fluctuated greatly. Ha Ritu had already seen it, so he said to him: "Old Ma, resisting Japan is not just something that can be accomplished by any party or any unit. The Japanese invaders are so arrogant that it takes the joint efforts of the whole nation to beat them out......"

He is an understanding person, and he smiled and said, "Captain Ha, I understand." We have to support the 117 Brigade, they are the main force to fight devils......" Ha Ritu had to let him go, and he could understand it to whatever extent for the time being. Chu Zhenhu gathered most of the chiefs together again and conveyed Section Chief Li's order. He said: "I ordered that Chief of Staff Liu Lintao go to the brigade headquarters with the Bart team, and the brigade headquarters will arrange for him to be the deputy captain of the Baiji team. Liu Lintao got up and was ordered. Captain Chu said again: "This chief of staff is temporarily concurrently served by Deputy Wang Ying. ”

Director Han got in touch with Chen Jinghu in Chengde through the transmitter of the 117th Brigade, and Chen Jinghu conveyed to him the situation in the southern Soviet region, and that the Red Army had recently won a great victory in the fourth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign in one fell swoop, following its three victories against encirclement and suppression...... And told him that Advisor Li had returned to Beiping, and he reported to the Shunzhi Provincial Party Committee about the anti-Japanese experience in Chifeng, and the Provincial Party Committee praised the **** group in your 41st Army. praised you for responding to the call of the Central Committee, and finally facilitating the 41st Army's anti-Japanese trip to Chifeng, and winning several victories...... You have taken the overall situation into account, and to a certain extent, you have transformed a ** party miscellaneous army; It left a good impression on the people of Rehe, and in the land of the 41st Army and Rebei, it developed and strengthened the **** team, and ignited the fire of the prairie for Rebei's resistance against Japan......

Director Han also told him that he and Section Chief Li were left in the 117th Brigade by Commander Sun, and at this time, they were fighting against the Japanese invaders in the area of Monkey Head Gou and Nantaizi Village in the western half of Chifeng City. Chen Jinghu said that large-scale resistance against Japan is inevitable, and it is best to preserve our strength for the time being. Director Han said: "The devil is too rampant, the brigade has been defeated with the 117th Brigade, and if you don't fight, you won't solve the problem; There were too many wounded in the 117th Brigade, and they couldn't evacuate if they wanted to......

Chen Jinghu also conveyed to him a top-secret news that the devil was transferring baggage and troops from Chifeng City, and that on March 9, the brigade would be attacked at a fixed point by breaking through the central axis...... This news came at the right time, which just confirmed the conjecture of Brigade Commander Ding and others.

Just after noon, the scouts reported that a group of routs, about two thousand men, had turned over from Ao Baoliang and was heading towards Liujia. The officers and men who went to maintain order came back to report that they were Tang Erhu's 16th Brigade originally stationed in the Pingquan area, and that as soon as Tang Erhu ran away, they also had no master, but fortunately, the brigade commander Mi Wentong also commanded and fought for a while, but was defeated by the Japanese Eighth Division. The 2,000 people, under the leadership of Liu Guoqing, a regiment commander from the northeast, withdrew along Nailin, Ma'anshan, and Jinshan.

When I arrived at Geumsan, I heard that the Japanese 10th Wing was stationed at the Wangye's Mansion sixty miles west of the Japanese Army, so I had to retreat in this direction all the way north. After passing the big cow village, they heard that there was another 117 brigade fighting the little devils here, so they simply wanted to join the battle. Liu Guoqing was led to the headquarters, and he expressed his reluctance to disperse his forces into regiments, and that he and his men were mainly organized into a regiment, and if a regiment was reduced too much, he could support a little less...... Brigade Commander Ding discussed with Director Han that he could agree to this request. When Director Han, Deputy Brigade Commander Ji and Section Chief Li went to Lamagou to hastily reorganize and give them the number 236 Regiment, Jia Congliang came to the headquarters in a ghostly manner.

When he saw that Director Han, Section Chief Li and Deputy Brigade Commander Ji were all gone, he was glad that he had come to the right place. He was also happy that there were defeated troops to join, and if he could bring them out, the more troops the better. At the same time, the Japanese army was going to chase and kill again, and he also learned about it through the Kuomintang and secret service organizations. He wanted to tell Brigade Commander Ding as soon as possible, so as to increase his weight in persuading him to retreat. Brigadier Kedin said the news was already known. He said directly: "Brigade Commander Ding, if you withdraw from Cangcang Dam Liang today, I guarantee that all the commanders of your army will be promoted by one level, and 500,000 yuan will be allocated to you......

Brigade Commander Ding looked at him and said with a wry smile: "You have great conditions, it doesn't matter, my 117th Brigade and the little devil are defeated, but it is full of national hatred and family hatred, I want to avenge those soldiers who died in battle......"
