Chapter 660: The Japanese Army Fights Back
Shouichi Terauchi looked at Naosaburo Okabe blankly, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Sun Weiguo annihilated an infantry wing before, captured the wing flag, and captured the captain of the Dazuo wing, which has brought a great shock to the base camp, and now the 119th wing of the 118th brigade of the 109th division has not been restored, and this incident has become the biggest shame of the Japanese army in North China.
But now, a mixed brigade has been completely annihilated, and Qin Yashang, a lieutenant general with deep qualifications in the Japanese army, has been captured alive.
This news was unacceptable to Shouichi Terauchi, his eyes became dull for a while, and his old cheeks instantly seemed to be ten years old.
Shouichi Terauchi sat weakly in his chair, and he glanced at Naosaburo Okabe, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.
He got up from his chair again and walked back and forth in his office, and after walking around for a while, Shouichi Terauchi came to the map again.
Looking at the map and seeing the location of Xiyang County, Terauchi Shouichi clenched his right hand into a fist.
"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Shouichi Terauchi slammed his right fist hard at the map, and a feeling of pain came from his right hand.
Shouichi Terauchi pulled out the saber on the side, he clenched the saber with both hands, and slashed at the table.
The table was split in half, and Terauchi Shouichi's eyes turned red, he clenched his saber tightly with both hands, and looked at Xiyang County on the map like the eyes of a beast.
The voices inside the office reached outside, and most of the staff officers outside didn't know what was going on.
They all know that Shouichi Terauchi is not in a very good mood these days, but Shouichi Terauchi has always controlled his emotions.
However, when Naosaburo Okabe walked in with a telegram, there was a sound of chopping things in the office, and most of the staff officers knew that this telegram must be a bad message.
The few staff officers who knew the truth did not dare to say a word, they lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.
The door to Shouichi Terauchi's office was opened, and all the staff officers immediately stood up, and their eyes turned towards Shouichi Terauchi, with a cautious expression on their faces.
"Quickly draw up an operational plan for the troops of the New Second Brigade, transfer an infantry division and a mixed brigade from the North China Front Army to fight in Xiyang County in the shortest possible time, and launch an encirclement and annihilation operation against the troops of the New Second Brigade in China with two infantry divisions, one mixed brigade, one mixed brigade, and one cavalry brigade, and the flying team will fully cooperate with the operation.
Shouichi Terauchi looked at the staff officers, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said in a cold tone.
"Your Excellency Commander, we have deployed the Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade in Xiyang County, and the First Brigade of the Mixed Combat is also deployed in the area of Jingcheng County.
A young staff officer didn't know that the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had been completely shattered, he looked at Terauchi Shouichi and reminded softly.
Hearing the words of this young staff officer, Terauchi Shouichi quickly came to the front of this young staff officer.
Terauchi Shouichi looked at this young staff officer with a cold gaze, he raised his right hand and slapped the young staff officer more than a dozen times.
Staff Officer Shaozuo's cheeks were swollen with whipped up, but Staff Officer Shaozuo didn't dare to complain in the slightest.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Staff Officer Shao Zuo said seriously.
Terauchi walked into the office without looking back, and the door of the office was tightly closed.
Okabe Naosaburo began to work out a plan with his staff officers, and they studied which troops to send to fight in Xiyang County.
The news of the total annihilation of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade also began to spread in the North China Front Headquarters.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of 23 June, the operation in Xiyang County had ended, and after 12 hours of hard fighting, the troops of the New Second Brigade annihilated the Fifth Brigade Regiment of the Independent Mixed Brigade.
The new 2nd Brigade ended the operation in Xiyang County, but with the annihilation of the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, Sun Weiguo can be said to have pierced the sky.
The commander of the Japanese North China Front was furious, and he began to transfer troops to focus on encircling and annihilating the troops of the New Second Brigade.
The 21st Division also began to enter Pingding County from Yangquan County, and the troops of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat also began to set off from Baijing Town.
Binh Dinh County is in crisis, and the county seat may be captured by the Japanese army at any time.
A large number of Japanese reinforcements were about to arrive, and the new 2nd Brigade faced an unprecedented major threat.
Pingding County, Zhangzhuang Town, New Second Brigade Headquarters.
A series of reactions of the Japanese army Sun Weiguo is not known for the time being, and Sun Weiguo's eyes are still staring at the acre and third of an acre in Pingding County.
Pingding County has a mass base, and the new Second Brigade has built a large number of fortifications here, Sun Weiguo is unwilling to give up Pingding County easily.
In particular, after all the units of the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army were completely dissolved, the troops of the two regiments of the New Second Brigade were freed up, and the First Regiment and the Sixth Cavalry Regiment could be put into combat at any time.
Sun Weiguo's eyes have already been set on an infantry wing that has entered Pingding County in Yangquan County, this infantry wing has more than 3,000 people, Sun Weiguo intends to defeat it with the troops of the New Second Brigade, the strength of the First Brigade in the melee is very strong, and the New Second Brigade will not be able to eat for the time being.
"Brigade commander, the roads near Pingding County have also been damaged, and our troops are also unable to move, but we can make a detour back to Yangqu County and attack the Japanese troops from Yangqu County, and with the current strength of the new Second Brigade, it will not be too much of a problem to defeat an infantry wing of the Japanese army."
Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said his suggestion.
Sun Weiguo nodded, his gaze shifted to Yangquan County, and there was still a certain risk in returning to Yangquan County.
"The troops of the Second Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region have rushed to the outskirts of Yangquan County, and they can launch an attack on the county seat at any time, as long as they fight there, the Japanese troops will definitely return to the reinforcements and give orders to all departments, as long as the troops of the Second Army Sub-division of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region take action, our troops will immediately detour back to Yangquan County to fight."
Sun Weiguo looked at the map and pondered for a while, he immediately issued a combat order, he wanted to defeat the 21st Division and send the troops of the 21st Division back to Yangquan County, Sun Weiguo could free up his hands to find a way to deal with the first brigade of the melee.
"Yes, Brigadier." Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong immediately agreed.
