"Boom!" Explosions began to sound, the platoon commander collapsed in a pool of blood, and the heavy machine gun was destroyed.

The First Division is a permanent division of the Japanese army, they have been serving as the garrison of Tokyo for a long time, but Japan has had the presence of the First Division in several foreign wars, and the little devils of the First Division are very strong in combat.

"Bang bang." The Eighth Route Army on the mountain began to launch a fire strike, and a dense number of bullets hit the devil soldiers.

The ghost soldiers who were ambushed did not panic, they calmly responded to the battle, and actively counterattacked, while they protected themselves, they brought a major blow to the Eighth Route Army on the mountain.

This mountain is called General Mountain, which is the only way for Yuanping County to enter Wutai County, and the main force of the Sixth Brigade of the Second Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was assembled at Jiangjun Mountain at this time.

It was the vanguard of the 49th Wing of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army that was ambushed, but it was clear that the vanguard of the 49th Wing did not suffer.

On the contrary, as the follow-up units of the 49th Wing of the Japanese Army began to join the battlefield, the Sixth Brigade of the Second Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, which was deployed in Jiangjun Mountain, began to be at a disadvantage.

When the three artillery squadrons of the 49th Wing of the Japanese Army began to erect artillery, the Sixth Brigade began to be suppressed by Japanese firepower, and an infantry brigade of the 49th Wing also began to encircle.

"Captain, let's retreat first, this gang of little devils is too fierce, we have lost one heavy machine gun and two light machine guns, and the troops have also paid more than fifty casualties, if we continue to fight, we will be dumplings by the little devils."

On General Mountain, the political commissar of the sixth brigade immediately came to the captain, and he said in an anxious tone.

The captain of the sixth brigade held the binoculars and glanced down the mountain, he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched the stone in front of him fiercely, his face full of unwilling expression.

"Retreat!" The group leader immediately began to give the order to retreat.

The main force of the 6th Brigade quickly began to evacuate Jiangjun Mountain, and ten minutes after their withdrawal, the main force of the 49th Wing arrived, and if it was too late, the 6th Brigade would probably be completely annihilated.

A squadron of devil soldiers immediately began to come to the General Mountain, where no troops of the Eighth Route Army were found, and this infantry squadron remained on the mountain, responsible for covering the advance of the main force of the wing.

The devil soldiers marched towards Wutai County with great momentum, and there was not the slightest nervousness on their faces, in their opinion, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were just a group of rabble.

"Hmph, the North China Imperial Army was simply tempted by the woman, they didn't know how to fight at all, and they couldn't even deal with this rabble, it's a shame."

"The troops of the Eighth Route Army are nothing more than that, except for being able to attack us secretly, they can't do anything to us at all, this time they entered Wutai County, I hope they don't run away."

"What is the ace of the Honorary Second Division, in front of our First Division, they are a group of vulnerable rabble, we must completely annihilate the troops of the Honorary Second Division this time."

"That Sun Weiguo is known as a famous general, we must capture Sun Weiguo alive this time, I want to see if Sun Weiguo has a few heads."

The devil soldiers easily defeated the Sixth Brigade of the Eighth Route Army at General Mountain, and their morale became extremely high.

On the way to Wutai Mountain, the devil soldiers talked a lot, they didn't take the troops of the Honorary Second Division in their eyes, they felt that they would definitely defeat the Honorary Second Division.

At 10 o'clock in the morning of 20 September, the 49th Wing, the vanguard of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, arrived at the junction of Wutai County and Yuanping County, and when the 49th Wing was preparing to enter Wutai County, they received a telegram from the headquarters of the 1st Brigade.

In order to strengthen the attack capability of the First Brigade, Naosaburo Okabe deliberately assigned the 1st Wing of Mountain Artillery and the 1st Tank Squadron directly under the division to the 1st Brigade to fight.

When the 49th Wing, the vanguard of the 1st Brigade was about to enter Wutai County, Abe Guixiu ordered the 49th Wing to temporarily stop advancing, and he was ready to wait for the brigade and regiment troops to gather together, and then enter Wutai County to fight.

In the county seat of Yuanping County, the first division of the Japanese army set up a division headquarters here, the third wing of the 15th brigade and the baggage wing directly under the division and regiment headquarters, and the cavalry wing served as a garrison in the county seat, and the rest of the troops were all sent by Okabe Naosaburo to fight in Wutai County.

Because Okabe Naosaburo wants to unify the command of the four divisions and regiments attacking Wutai County and an independent garrison, now Okabe Naosaburo needs to know the specific situation of each department.

The chief of staff of the 1st Division, Osa, held the telegram of the report of each department, and he stood in front of Naosaburo Okabe and made a detailed report.

When he heard that the vanguard of the 1st Brigade had arrived at the junction of Wutai County and Harahira County, Naosaburo Okabe had a smile on his face.

However, the 26th Division and the 109th Division of Dai County were blocked by the troops of the 120th Division, and the 114th Division and the Independent Garrison of Mengxian County were blocked by the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

The Japanese troops in Daixian and Mengxian were temporarily unable to go to Wutai County, and the troops of the 1st Division were obviously alone.

Even though the First Division now has more than 30,000 people, Okabe Naosaburo knows very well how capable Sun Weiguo is.

When Naosaburo Okabe was chief of staff of the North China Front Headquarters, he had seen many Japanese troops annihilated by Sun Weiguo.

Now that he has become the commander of the 1st Division, Naosaburo Okabe does not want the 1st Division to suffer heavy losses from Sun Weiguo's troops under his command.

"What are the 26th and 109th Divisions of Daixian County doing, the nearly 40,000 troops of their two divisions can't break through the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army!"

Okabe Naosaburo looked at Chief of Staff Osa, and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, although the Imperial Army of Daixian and Mengxian County has encountered the resistance of the Zhina troops, the Imperial Army troops have a clear advantage, and I believe that before noon, the Imperial Army troops will definitely defeat the Zhina troops in front of them and enter Wutai County. In addition, the 1st Brigade is here, is it for them to temporarily stop their operations and wait for the friendly troops to break through the resistance of the Chinese troops before entering Wutai County? ”

Chief of Staff Osaku replied cautiously that he was looking at Naosaburo Okabe, and he was waiting for Naosaburo Okabe to answer.

"Order the 1st Brigade to immediately enter Wutai County, move the division headquarters to the front, and at the same time order the 15th Brigade to speed up their actions and protect the flank of the 1st Brigade."

Naosaburo Okabe looked at the map and hesitated for a while, then he began to give orders.
