Sun Weiguo and Zhong Jian and others are old friends reunited, and the two sides have endless topics.

Zhong Jian and Sun Weiguo told about the development of the independent regiment after Sun Weiguo and others broke out, and told the achievements of the independent regiment.

Needless to say, Sun Weiguo's affairs are now known to almost everyone about the achievements of Sun Weiguo's troops, and Sun Weiguo's name has spread all over the country.

During the night, Sun Weiguo and Zhong Jian and others chatted until two o'clock in the morning, if it weren't for Zhong Jian and others considering that Sun Weiguo needed to rest, I'm afraid they would have continued to talk.

Yangquan County, the headquarters of the 108th Infantry Brigade of the 25th Division of the Japanese Army.

It was four o'clock in the morning, and Naozo Nakano, the commander of the Major General Brigade who had just woken up, came to the map, and he looked at the chief of staff of Nakasa beside him, and his brows furrowed slightly.

A puppet army unit is missing, such a small thing Naono Naozo is naturally reluctant to appreciate, but judging from the report of the Japanese army in Mengxian County, Nakano Naozo has to pay attention to this matter, he looked at the map, and his face showed a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, according to the report of the defenders of Mengxian County, there seem to be a lot of unknown armed personnel from there, and now we have a puppet army unit missing here, I think these two things must be related, if I am not mistaken, it is very likely that the new Second Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has come to us."

Chief of Staff Zhongzuo pointed to the location of Meng County on the map, and then pointed to Yangquan County, where the brigade headquarters is located, and he said in a serious tone.

The First Army had already issued a notice to all Japanese troops, and Kazuki Kiyoji asked the Japanese troops in various places to closely observe the situation in the garrison and look for the whereabouts of Sun Weiguo's newly formed Second Brigade.

At present, most of Shanxi is occupied by the Japanese army, even though Sun Weiguo's troops chose to march in the dark and rest during the day, and the troops immediately dispersed and hid after arriving in Mengxian, but it was obviously impossible for thousands of troops to hide from the Japanese army.

After the disappearance of a puppet army in Yangquan County, this attracted the attention of the 25th Brigade Headquarters, and the chief of staff of Zhongzuo immediately made a judgment, he believed that Sun Weiguo's troops must be in the area of Meng County and Yangquan County.

"Immediately report the situation to the division headquarters, it seems that Sun Weiguo's troops are indeed here." Nakano Naozo immediately gave the order and said.

Chief of Staff Nakasa nodded, and after he saluted Naozo Nakano, he quickly arranged for personnel to send a telegram to the headquarters of the 108th Division.

The sky gradually became cloudy, the spring breeze blew gently, and everything began to glow with new life.

Although Sun Weiguo slept very late, he got up very early, and after getting up, Sun Weiguo began to check around Pingding County.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army asked Sun Weiguo to come to Pingding County, obviously with good intentions.

At present, Sun Weiguo's new second brigade is deployed on the periphery, and now the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has asked the new second brigade to reconnoiter the situation in Pingding County, and it is obvious that the headquarters leaders hope to open a gap from Pingding County.

"Our troops have nearly 5,000 men, equipped with tanks and artillery and other heavy weapons, and our whereabouts are very hidden, but it is very difficult to hide from the eyes of the Japanese army. The Japanese army must know that our army will participate in the southeast operation in Jinjin, but I don't know if they will make special arrangements against us. ”

Sun Weiguo came to the outside of Pingding County, he looked inside the county with a telescope, and said in a solemn tone.

"Brigade commander, the Japanese army is fighting very hard in Xuzhou, the troops of the Fifth Theater are in an advantageous position, the Japanese army must take into account the front-line combat troops, and the area occupied by the Japanese army in North China is very large, these occupied areas need troops to be stationed, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to draw out excess troops to fight, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region can assist in the operation and contain the Japanese troops."

After Huang Guohua, who was following Sun Weiguo, heard Sun Weiguo's words, he pondered slightly for a while and replied softly.

The Japanese army's understanding of the Chinese troops is very good, and their intelligence organs have all the detailed information of the generals at and above the division level of the Chinese troops, and the Japanese intelligence organs can learn about any movement of the Chinese troops or the formation of new units at the first time.

However, China knows very little about the Japanese army, and many times after fighting with the Japanese army for several days, they do not know who the number and commander of the Japanese army are.

The formation of the 1st Brigade of the Momoyo Melee in Kunomura is very secret, and this matter is not clear to the rest of the personnel except for the high-level of the Japanese army in North China.

The First Brigade of the Mixed Combat was temporarily transferred from the North China Front Army Headquarters to the First Army and participated in the battle sequence of the siege of the anti-Japanese troops in the southeast of Shanxi.

Sun Weiguo would not have known that in order to completely eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in the southeast of Jin Province this time, Hashimoto Group, who was supposed to be promoted to the position of the first director of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, was temporarily left behind to assist Kazuki Kiyoji in commanding the siege of the anti-Japanese forces in the southeast of Jin.

Sun Weiguo reconnoitred outside the county seat of Pingding County, and he mapped simple topographic maps and Japanese fortifications on the drawings.

After doing these things, Sun Weiguo returned to Nanzhuang Village again, and after talking freely with Zhong Jian and others again, Sun Weiguo continued to investigate the situation in Pingding County.

On this day, Sun Weiguo was busy investigating the situation in Pingding County, and in the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shijiazhuang, Momoyo Kunomura, who had not rested all night, had his eyes a little red at this time, and he kept staring at the map, with a solemn expression on his face.

When the Hashimoto group came to Kunomura Momoyo with the report of the 108th Division, Kunomura Momoyo couldn't help but yawn.

"Kuno-kun, our guess is correct, Sun Weiguo's troops are indeed going to participate in the southeast of Jin, and as we guessed, the new second brigade troops are indeed deployed on the periphery, according to the report of the 108th Division, Sun Weiguo's new second brigade is likely to have been deployed in Yangquan County and Meng County."

Hashimoto pointed to the location of Yangquan County and Meng County on the map, and he said in a serious tone.

After hearing Hashimoto's words, a sneer appeared on Kunomura Momoyo's face, his prediction was not wrong, he had predicted that Sun Weiguo's troops were likely to assemble in the area of Meng County.

"Hashimoto-kun, now we can execute it according to the plan, I will return to the army immediately to prepare, this time I will definitely eat the first part of the new second brigade and deal a severe blow to the morale of Sun Weiguo's troops."

After confirming that Sun Weiguo's troops were assembled in the area of Meng County, Kunomura Momoyo looked at the Hashimoto group in front of him, and he asked softly.

"I have already contacted His Excellency the Commander, you can return to the troops immediately, as long as we find out that Sun Weiguo's troops are moving, the headquarters will contact you immediately through the radio."

Hashimoto looked at Kunomura Momoyo, and he whispered.
