The morning of June was already scorching, and the fighting in Xiyang County still did not stop, the troops of the 1st Regiment and the 17th Brigade of the Japanese Army were in a fierce battle, and they did not have time to eat, while the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment were advancing towards Xiyang County at full speed, and they also did not have time to eat.

The inside of the tank was like a steamer, and the armorers' clothes were already soaked, but they didn't care, and continued to move.

The 19th Brigade, reinforced by six guns, also began to march, and the two forces were about to collide.

At the same time, the county seat of Shouyang County, the wing headquarters of the 82nd Wing of the Japanese Army.

Matsumoto Notake, the captain of the 82nd Wing, was anxiously waiting for the reports of the various departments at this time, and the mood on his face was not very good.

At half past four in the morning, he received the order to assemble his troops, and by the time an hour and a half had passed, the 82nd Wing had only assembled one infantry brigade at present, and the other two infantry brigades had still not completed the assembly, which made the expression on Matsumoto Notake's face become more and more angry.

"What the hell is going on with the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, why can't they complete the assembly quickly, Your Excellency the Division Commander has asked us to quickly complete the operation of assembling and reinforcing the troops of the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade."

Looking at the time, it was already six o'clock, Matsumoto Notake looked at the chief of staff of Shaozo beside him, and he asked in an unkind tone.

"Wing Commander, the second and third brigades were blocked by the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they were temporarily unable to assemble, and the second brigade reported that they would drive out the local troops of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible and quickly assemble them." Chief of Staff Nakasa reported softly.

The troops of the 21st Division are rapidly assembling, but the troops of the First Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, which is operating in the Jinzhong region, have already begun to become active.

The three small regiments of the First Army Division, with more than 3,000 troops, all began to move, and their task was to contain the troops of the 82nd Wing of the Japanese Army in Shouyang County.

The commander of the Qin detachment was very supportive of Sun Weiguo's operation, and in order to be able to cooperate with the operation of Sun Weiguo's troops, all the more than 4,000 troops of the First Army Division were mobilized.

In addition to having three small regiments with a force of more than 3,000 troops, the military sub-division also directly subordinate a special service battalion and a reconnaissance battalion, with a total strength of more than 4,300 troops.

The two Japanese brigades were attacked and harassed by the First Army Division, which was more familiar with the terrain and adopted guerrilla warfare.

Japanese troops were often ambushed as they walked, with light and heavy machine gun fire and mortar shells, and when the Japanese troops wanted to pursue, the divisional troops of the First Army had already begun to withdraw.

They sent small units to conduct scattered searches, and these small units would be surrounded and annihilated by the main forces of the First Army Division.

In an hour and a half, the 2nd and 3rd Japanese brigades traveled only two kilometers on the road, and they paid the price of more than 200 casualties.

What made the two Japanese Shaozuo captains even more helpless was that the marksmanship of the divisional troops of the First Army did not seem to be very good, and among the more than 200 casualties, only more than 20 were killed, and the remaining 100 or so were wounded.

A wounded Japanese soldier needs to be taken care of by four devil soldiers, two devil soldiers carry stretchers, one devil soldier holds the weapons and ammunition of the stretcher and the wounded devil soldiers, and one devil soldier is responsible for guarding to prevent anyone from sneaking up on them.

In this way, the captain of the Japanese army gradually discovered that it was better for the devil soldiers to be injured than to be killed directly.

"Call back to the Second Brigade and the Third Brigade, if the assembly cannot be completed before seven o'clock, I will report directly to His Excellency the Division Commander." Matsumoto Notake said in a cold tone.

"Hey, Co-Captain." The chief of staff of Shaozo hurriedly replied.

The message soon began to be transmitted to the 2nd and 3rd Brigades, and after receiving the message, the two Captains ordered the troops to speed up.

The second brigade of the 82nd Wing of the Japanese army set out from Lingzhi Town, Shouyang County, and they had seventy wounded, almost a ghost soldier of an infantry squadron taking care of these wounded.

After Captain Shaosa received Matsumoto Notake's order, he ordered his troops to speed up, and he didn't want to be punished by the division commander Washizu Matsudaira.

"Detachment leader, the little devil is speeding up, should we beat him for a while."

The battalion commander of the Special Service Battalion of the First Army Division saw the little devil speeding up, and he immediately came to the Qin Detachment Commander to report.

Captain Qin held the binoculars and glanced at the little devils on the road, he shook his head lightly and said: "The troops of the first regiment have begun to assemble in front, we will wait for the arrival of the reconnaissance battalion troops, and then use the troops of the first regiment, the special service battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion to beat the little devils hard, we have to beat them hard." ”

The commander of the Qin detachment planned to conduct a more dynamic guerrilla war, and he gathered 2,000 troops.

The devil soldiers of the second brigade did not know the plans of the Qin detachment leader, and they continued to march towards the front.

After a while, the reconnaissance battalion troops began to meet with the special service battalion troops, and the Qin detachment leader began to give orders.

The troops of the 1st Regiment, which had already set up ambush positions in front, began to fight, and then the special service battalion and reconnaissance battalion were also thrown into the battle.

The 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army was attacked from front to rear, and by the time they had immediately set up their heavy weapons, the troops of the 1st Army Division had already begun to withdraw.

Looking at the wounded screaming in pain, the face of the captain Shaozuo became gloomy, he ordered the troops to set up artillery positions and machine gun positions on the spot, and he began to send two infantry squadrons to conduct search operations, he wanted to kill the local troops of the Eighth Route Army first, and then go to the county seat to assemble.

The 82nd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in Shouyang County has not completed the assembly, and the 83rd Wing of the Japanese Army in Yuci County has begun to assemble.

The 83rd Wing was not contained by any troops, and they were far away from Pingding County, but Sun Weiguo still let the independent regiment garrison in Pingding County to prevent the Japanese army from attacking.

The 83rd Wing of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army successfully completed the assembly, but the 82nd Wing of the Japanese Army was attacked by the troops of the First Army Division, and the 62nd Wing of the Japanese Army in Yangquan County was attacked by the Second Army Division of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region and the Fourth Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

At this time, the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army in Jingcheng County began to fight with the troops of the 3rd Army Division of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, and Momoyo Kunomura was very alert, and the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle had not yet assembled, so he knew that there would definitely be local troops of the Eighth Route Army to contain them from fighting.

In the county seat of Jingcheng County, the first brigade of the melee No, Momoyo Kunomura had already put on his military uniform, and he left the county seat directly on a cross-bucket motorcycle.
