The Japanese troops began to move, and the first to move were the second and third battalions of the 117th Wing, and more than 2,000 devil soldiers of these two brigades began to line up in a long snake formation, sweeping and advancing from west to east, two machine gun squadrons and 24 heavy machine guns were scattered and deployed at both ends and in the middle, and two artillery squads were concentrated in the central position.

The two captains of the Shaozo Brigade were in charge of command and coordination, and more than 2,000 Japanese troops advanced mightily, and every village could not escape their search.

There is a small village located eight kilometers southwest of the Japanese army's Shijiashan heavy artillery position, this small village is called Wenjiazhuang Village, and there are hundreds of people in the village.

With the arrival of the Japanese troops, the people in Wenjiazhuang Village were terrified, and every household locked its doors and windows for fear that someone would break into their homes.

When Sun Weiguo came to Wenjiazhuang Village with the headquarters of the second battle group, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and the troops of the guard company of the first regiment quickly set up a temporary headquarters outside the village.

All units of the 2nd Battle Group have been dispatched, and in order to prevent the Japanese heavy artillery from attacking, the units are still operating in battle groups.

A motorized reconnaissance platoon and a cavalry platoon of the reconnaissance company were assigned to the command of the second battle group, and their task was to reconnoiter the situation of Japanese troops.

"The troops cannot be gathered together at will, once the troops are concentrated, they will easily be attacked by the heavy artillery of the Japanese army, all units must be careful in concentrated operations, and if they hit a unit with a scale of more than 200 people in battle, they must consult the command headquarters, and the ministers and commanders are not allowed to act without authorization, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"

Sun Weiguo bent down to look at the map spread out on the table, and he said in a serious tone.

"Yes, Brigadier." Yin Jin and Zhu Jianwei immediately nodded and agreed.

As soon as their words fell, Chen Zhengwei, the company commander of the reconnaissance company, walked in from the outside quickly, and when he came to Sun Weiguo, Chen Zhengwei immediately saluted.

After Ge Haifeng's cavalry reconnaissance company was expanded into a cavalry battalion, Sun Weiguo and Shen Wei and others discussed for a long time, and finally they decided to let Chen Zhengwei serve as the company commander of the reconnaissance company.

In the eyes of others, the reconnaissance company is just an errand job, but the responsibility of the reconnaissance company is heavy, and the role they play is sometimes more than one battalion.

"Brigade commander, the little devils have already marched towards this side, they are less than three kilometers away from us, at present, several of our combat groups have skirmished with the Japanese army, but our troops are at a loss, the Japanese troops are concentrated and marching together, no matter where we hit them, the Japanese troops in the rest of the places will quickly reinforce over."

After coming to Sun Weiguo, Chen Zhengwei quickly saluted, and he hurriedly made a report.

"Mark the movements of the Japanese army on the map." Sun Weiguo said softly.

Chen Zhengwei nodded, he immediately picked up the red pencil and began to mark it on the map, he had followed Sun Weiguo before, and Sun Weiguo also carefully taught him about map operations, it can be said that Chen Zhengwei is not the only officer who can carry out map operations among the company-level cadres of the new Second Brigade troops, but he is the most outstanding officer in map operations among company-level cadres.

Soon, Chen Zhengwei clearly marked the dynamics of the Japanese troops on the map.

At this time, the long snake formation set up by the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army had captured Yinjiazhuang Village in the northernmost place, Liulinbei Village in the central position, and Baijiachuan Village in the southernmost place, and at the same time, there were still traces of Japanese troops on the road between these three villages.

The more than 1,000 troops of the second battle group have been compressed by the Japanese army little by little, and the method of the 117th Wing Commander Gao Shu Jiayi Zuo has played an excellent blow to Sun Weiguo's strategy of forming a combat group, no matter where each combat group attacks, the rest of the Japanese troops will be quickly reinforced.

There were only three or four fighters in each combat group, and if they tried to ambush the Japanese army, they would be quickly eliminated.

The current situation seems to have only one strategy, which is to gather troops and first break through one point of the Japanese army's long snake formation.

However, the Chinese troops' build-up is the picture that the Japanese heavy artillery units are most willing to see, and as long as the second battle group gathers its troops, the 12 105mm cannons of the Japanese army in Shijiashan will definitely start firing quickly and bring a devastating blow to the second battle group.

The two hot air balloons had already begun to rise into the air, and the Japanese artillery officers inside carefully observed every move on the ground, and as long as the Chinese troops appeared in sight, they would quickly contact the artillery units on Shijia Mountain, and then the Japanese heavy artillery units would immediately start shooting.

"Brigade commander, it is not possible to fight like this, two combat groups in our battalion have been completely annihilated by the Japanese army."

Huang Guohua, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, hurriedly came to the temporary headquarters of the second battle group outside Wenjiazhuang Village, and Huang Guohua said in a solemn tone.

"I already understand the situation, Zhengwei, you call the ministers over immediately, and we have to redeploy." Sun Weiguo said softly.

He stared at the map and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to deal with the Japanese army's long snake formation.

Huang Gang, the commander of the second battalion, Huang Guohua, the commander of the brigade headquarters guard battalion, Yang Tiezhu, the commander of the guard company of the first regiment, Zheng Guanzilin, the squadron leader of the sniper team, and the company commander of the third company of the special service battalion began to come to the temporary headquarters of the second battle group.

At the same time as the two infantry brigades of the 117th Wing of the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army launched their operations, the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army in the area east of Xiyang County quickly entered Pingding County under the leadership of Wing Commander Emo Eiyisa, and the 132nd Wing quickly entered the territory of Pingding County.

At the same time, the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat left the 1st Brigade of Hideaki Okamoto to contain the troops of the 1st Battle Group of Wujiashan and Dongzhai Fushan, while Momoyo Kunomura took 21 tanks and 24 armored vehicles of the armored detachment as the vanguard, and quickly led the main force of the brigade to attack Kashiwai Town.

By two o'clock in the afternoon of 6 April, the Japanese army had already committed a mixed brigade and an infantry wing of more than 8,000 troops in Pingding County, and these troops were almost twice the total strength of the new Second Brigade, not to mention the Japanese troops in Xiyang County.

Kunomura Momoyo can be said to be full of confidence, and he feels that although it will be difficult to completely annihilate the troops of the new Second Brigade in this operation, there will not be much problem in rebuilding the troops of the new Second Brigade.
