Shijiazhuang, headquarters of the First Army.

Sun Weiguo went to the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to report on the stormy operation plan, and in the headquarters of the Japanese First Army, the staff officers of the First Army, mainly Major General Iida Shojiro, had already begun to draw up a detailed "revenge" operation plan.

The revenge operation plan was to dispatch troops of an infantry division, a mixed brigade, a mixed brigade, and a cavalry brigade, with a total strength of more than 33,000 troops.

"Your Excellency, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade will arrive in Zanhuang County on the 25th at the latest, and we are scheduled to begin an offensive against the troops of the New Second Brigade on the 1st of July, and according to our calculations, we will be able to deal with the troops of the New Second Brigade before the 15th of July."

Shojiro Iida came to Umezu Mijiro's side, and he handed over the complete revenge battle plan to Umezu Mijiro.

"Yuxi, more than 30,000 imperial troops, even if it is enough to deal with ten divisions of the Chinese army, we will definitely win this time to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops. Annihilated Sun Weiguo's troops and opened up the Zhengtai Railway, which was fought here. Umezu Mijiro swore an oath.

"Your Excellency Commander, according to the report of the intelligence agency, they are lurking in the New Second Brigade spy Stinger sent a secret message, the new Second Brigade has recently had an abnormal movement of troops, Stinger guesses that Sun Weiguo is likely to be planning something, but now Stinger is very restricted, he can't master the core secrets."

Shojiro Iida suddenly thought of the report from the intelligence agency, and he immediately said it.

Umezu Mijiro looked towards Pingding Prefecture, and the report of the intelligence agency made him pay attention to it.

"Sun Weiguo's new Second Brigade has only more than 6,000 people, we have stationed a mixed brigade and a mortar brigade in Xiyang County, we have stationed a division and regimental headquarters and an infantry wing, an artillery wing and a baggage wing in Yangquan County, and in Jingcheng County, in addition to the local garrison brigade, we have also stationed the first brigade of the mixed warfare, and these three county towns are the closest to Pingding County."

Pointing to the location on the map, Umezu Mijiro said in a solemn tone.

The Japanese troops have quietly assembled, and of course the Japanese army is also ready to take precautions, as long as the new 2nd Brigade dares to move, then they will take immediate action.

If the troops of the New Second Brigade attack Xiyang County, then the Fifth Brigade will hold its position and contain the troops of the New Second Brigade, while the 21st Division in Yangquan County and the First Brigade in Jingcheng County will enter Pingding County as quickly as possible, directly threatening the flank of the New Second Brigade.

In the same way, if the New Second Brigade attacked Jingcheng County and Yangquan County, then the Japanese troops in the other two counties would also be quickly mobilized.

As we all know, in combat, defense has an advantage, and of course, a defense with a large equipment gap will definitely not have an advantage.

For example, Chinese troops generally have only eight artillery pieces at most per division, and there are not as many light and heavy weapons as a Japanese army in a division.

However, if the Japanese army launched a defense, then they could hold back the troops of the new 2nd Brigade for a period of time and buy time for the rest of the friendly forces, which the Japanese army could completely do.

The troops of the New Second Brigade are well-armed and equipped, and Sun Weiguo has defensive tactics that are decades more advanced than the Japanese army, and their troops are also able to occupy an advantage in defensive warfare.

"This should be a normal exercise of the New Second Brigade, but all departments are ordered to closely monitor the situation of the New Second Brigade." Umezu Mijiro pondered for a while, and he immediately gave the order.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Shojiro Iida immediately saluted Umezu Mijiro and said.

Immediately Iida Shojiro began to leave the office, and he immediately sent electricity to the Japanese troops stationed in Yangquan County, Xiyang County, and Jingcheng County.

The revenge plan of the Japanese troops was formulated to launch an attack on 1 July, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade would rush to Zanhuang County on 25 July, which meant that Sun Weiguo could start fighting before 25 July, then he could have an advantage, and once he started fighting before 1 July, he could still have some advantages, but if it dragged on until 1 July, the new 2nd Brigade troops would face a combined attack by more than 30,000 Japanese troops.

When night fell, the lights were on, and the headquarters of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region in Shexian County was located in the small village.

Sun Weiguo stayed here, and the commanders of the five military divisions had already received orders, and they began to rush here one after another.

At this time, Sun Weiguo was in the room, and after dinner, Sun Weiguo was about to go to Chief of Staff Ni to talk, but Chief of Staff Ni was not there.

Sun Weiguo, who returned to the room, looked at the map in a daze, his face showed a solemn expression, this time the operation was related to the life and death of the new Second Brigade, no matter what, he had to persuade the commanders of various military divisions to let them support his battle plan.

"Brigade commander, intelligence section chief Wang Kunyao sent a telegram in Shijiazhuang, according to the information he got from the inner line, the cavalry group originally subordinate to the Kwantung Army has been officially assigned to the North China Front Army system, and the troops drawn by the Japanese army from Chahar Province this time are drawn from the cavalry group, but it is not clear how many cavalry the Japanese army will draw."

Qin Xianliang walked in from outside, and he came to Sun Weiguo with the telegram he had just received and reported.

Cavalry group, Sun Weiguo is no stranger to this number, he knows that the Japanese cavalry group has two cavalry brigades.

From the news reported by Wang Kunyao, Sun Weiguo began to analyze.

If Umezu Mijiro only transferred a cavalry wing, he could completely draw it from several divisions under the First Army, so that he could quickly deploy the cavalry wing in Sanhuang County, and Umezu Mijiro specially transferred cavalry from the cavalry group to fight in Sanhuang County, then the cavalry drawn by Umezu Mijiro must be no less than one cavalry wing.

"Brigade commander, if the little devils are to transfer one or two cavalry wings, they can be drawn from a permanent division like the 14th Division, and I think they must have a lot of cavalry this time." When Sun Weiguo was thinking, Qin Xianliang also said.

"Cavalry brigade, the little devil must have transferred a cavalry brigade, obvious, you will immediately send a telegram to Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region in my name...... No, no, no, the telegram is very likely to be deciphered by the Japanese army, you personally go to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters to meet Commander Nie, you report the stormy battle plan to Commander Nie, and ask Commander Nie to temporarily hand over the independent regiment to us to command the operation, and I will immediately go to the political commissar and deputy commander. ”

Sun Weiguo said anxiously in Chinese that the Japanese army was transferring the cavalry brigade of the cavalry group, and this news made Sun Weiguo a little worried.
