Chinese New Year's Eve is a very special holiday for every Chinese son, and the busyness of the year begins to relax at this moment, and the whole family gathers together and enjoys themselves.

The Chinese New Year's Eve during the war years was particularly precious, and it was good for the people to survive, and spending Chinese New Year's Eve with their families was simply the most luxurious thing.

The people of Chengguan Town are very good, they started to stick couplets on the doors of their homes early, and every household has prepared New Year's goods.

The fighters of the Independent Regiment began to relax on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the soldiers gathered together to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

The training of the armored company is still continuing, and even though the Japanese army has not taken any action at present, the smell of gunpowder has begun to fill the air with the approach of the big war.

Except for Shen Wei, who was organizing the soldiers to prepare for the New Year, the rest of the officers were in a state of combat readiness, and once the Japanese army attacked, they would quickly command the troops to put into battle.

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong simulated on the map the offensive route that the Japanese might take, and at the same time he also formulated the main points of the independent regiment's defensive operations.

It can be said that the independent regiment seems to be very lax, but the officers have a string in their heads, and they dare not be careless.

At the same time, in Yangquan County, the regimental headquarters of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the 20th Division, Lieutenant General Kawagishi Fumizaburo, was sitting on a chair in the conference room of the division headquarters at this time, and he looked at the map.

Sitting next to Kawagishi Bunzaburo were Yoshito Takagi, commander of the 39th Brigade, Yoshio Kamitsuki, commander of the 40th Brigade, Lieutenant General of the Chinese Garrison Corps, Yamashita Fumi, commander of the Chinese garrison Corps, and Shuichi Takano, commander of the Pingding County garrison.

There were two lieutenant generals and two major generals gathered in the conference room, and it was obvious that their meeting was very important.

The chief of staff of the 20th Division, Kimura Hisazo, stood in front of the map, and the huge map of Shanxi hung on the wall, with many clear red and blue lines on it.

At present, Sun Weiguo's independent regiment is stationed in Chengguan Town, Pingding County, and its independent regiment has a battalion of infantry, an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and a number of troops directly under the regiment headquarters, with a total strength of more than 1,600 people. Its regiment commander is Zhong Jian, and the deputy regiment commander Sun Weiguo is actually responsible for the command of the whole regiment. In the past several battles, our army was defeated by Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo is a native of Nanzhuang Village, Chengguan Town, Pingding County, he was an orphan since he was a child, and was raised by an Orion, according to the investigation of the intelligence department, this Orion is an officer of the Northeast Army and has fought with the Kwantung Army in the Northeast, so Sun Weiguo's military command ability should be awarded by this person. ”

Kimura Hisazo pointed at Pingding County on the map with his baton, and he whispered about the situation of the Independent Regiment.

The Japanese intelligence services have a lot of skills in China, and they will definitely know what they want to know.

They already have a complete understanding of Sun Weiguo's situation, and even they know more about Sun Weiguo's past than Zhong Jian and others.

"Is there a photo of Sun Weiguo?" Kawagishi Bunzaburo looked at Kizumura Kuzo and said in a cold tone.

Sun Weiguo had brought great losses to his troops, and Kawagishi Bunzaburo had a grudge against this matter in his heart, and he wanted to see what Sun Weiguo looked like.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, there is no photo of Sun Weiguo for the time being." Kimura Hisazo said respectfully with a face.

"Go on." Kawagishi Bunzaburo was a little disappointed, and he looked coldly at Pingding County on the map.

"According to the summary of the staff officers of the North China Front Army and the staff officers of our divisions and regiments, Sun Weiguo is good at fighting a war of attrition, and is especially good at finding favorable fighters in the course of the battle to bring a devastating blow to the opponent. In several battles, Sun Weiguo repeatedly held his position, and after inflicting heavy casualties on our troops, he would immediately launch a counteroffensive.

Based on this, the North China Front Command ordered the 20 Division as the garrison force and the Chinese Garrison Corps as the attack force. Adopt a step-by-step strategy to wipe out Sun Weiguo's independent regiment in the pacification and security battle of Chengguan Town. ”

Kimura Hisazo's baton began to fall on Xiyang County, Shouyang County, Yangquan County and other county seats near Pingding County, he said in a serious tone.

The Japanese army's strategy was very simple, the units of the 20th Division were stationed in the counties near Binh Dinh County, and they were on the defensive to prevent the independent regiment from breaking through and attacking the counties near Binh Dinh County.

Yamashita Fengwen's Chinese garrison corps took an offensive and carried out an encirclement and annihilation operation against the Chengguan Town Independent Regiment with more than 10,000 troops, annihilating it in Chengguan Town.

Once the independent regiment was lucky enough to break out, the Chinese garrison corps was responsible for the pursuit, and the troops of the 20th Division were responsible for encircling it.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this pacification war still needs a lot of cooperation from your department, please."

At this time, Yamashita Fengfumi had already stood up, he looked at Kawagishi Fumizaburo, first bowed, and then said with a respectful face.

Yamashita was previously the brigade commander of the 20th Brigade of the 40th Division, and he still had a friendship with Kawagishi Fumizaburo.

"Yamashita-kun, don't worry, our troops will definitely hold their positions and won't let them break out. Chief of Staff, you come and deploy a combat mission. ”

Kawagishi Fumizaburo also stood up from his chair, he looked at Yamashita Fumi, and said with a serious expression.

Kimura Hisazo began to point to the county seat on the map and quickly gave orders.

The 20th Division of the Japanese Army is a garrison force, and they are responsible for the garrison of each county town.

According to the results of the previous discussions between Kimura Kuzo and Kawagishi Bunzaburo, they made a very strict deployment.

Xiyang County, in the south of Binh Dinh County, is garrisoned by the 79th Wing Headquarters of the 40th Brigade Regiment, which is directly under the 79th Wing Headquarters, as well as two infantry brigades.

Yuci County, in the west of Binh Dinh County, is garrisoned by the headquarters of the 40th Brigade and the 80th Wing, where there are two infantry brigades of the 80th Wing.

Shouyang County, located in the northwest of Pingding County, is where the 40th Brigade Headquarters is located, where an infantry brigade and troops directly under the 40th Brigade Headquarters are stationed.

In Yangquan County, in the north of Pingding County, the headquarters of the 20th Division, the artillery wing, the engineer wing, the baggage wing, the cavalry wing and other directly subordinate units are stationed here, and the 77th Wing of the 39th Brigade of Mengxian County is stationed here, which can support Yangquan County at any time.

In order to prevent Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment from breaking through to Hebei Province, the North China Front Army has transferred the newly established Fifth Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigade to Jingcheng County to be responsible for garrisoning, so as to strictly prevent Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment from breaking through to Hebei Province.

In order to be able to completely intercept and prevent Sun Weiguo's troops from breaking through and escaping, the Japanese army mobilized an infantry brigade, a mixed brigade, and a unit directly under the four divisions and regiments with more than 20,000 troops, although more than 20,000 troops did not directly participate in the attack on Sun Weiguo's troops, but they were stationed in the county near Pingding County, but they completely blocked the retreat of Sun Weiguo's troops, and no matter which direction Sun Weiguo broke through, there would be Japanese troops to intercept them.

"Mixi, Shangyue-kun, Takagi-kun, you go back immediately to prepare, this time you must wipe out Sun Weiguo's troops!"

Looking at the dense defense troops on the map, Kawagishi Fumizaburo had an excited expression on his face, and he felt that this time Sun Weiguo would definitely die.
