Xiyang County, the Japanese 104th Brigade Headquarters, the 105th Wing's Nakazo Wing Captain Kudo Sutaka came to the 104th Brigade Headquarters with a heavy face.

Standing in front of the fourth floor of the 104th Brigade Major General Brigade Commander Tomamiji, Kudo Sutaka couldn't help but show a nervous expression on his face.

The troops of the New Second Brigade in Pingding County ambushed the transport troops, causing more than 1,000 casualties to the four transport brigades and more than 300 casualties to the two cavalry brigades guarding the escort.

However, what the Japanese army could not tolerate was that the troops of the New Second Brigade took away all the materials escorted by the transport troops, which were urgently needed by the Japanese army on the front line.

After learning the news, Terauchi Shouichi in the Jinan front command post directly crossed the headquarters of the First Army and sent a reprimand message to the 108th Division and the 109th Division.

After receiving the telegram, the commander of the 108th Division, Lieutenant General Motokuma, and the commander of the 109th Division, Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, they immediately began to organize retaliation against the troops of the New Second Brigade.

The 108th Brigade under the 104th Division is the closest to Pingding County, and the Fourth Floor of the Major General Brigade of the 104th Brigade is an active main combat faction.

Before the 109th Brigade of the 31st Division launched its operation from Yuzhong County and Meng County, the 104th Brigade took the lead in launching the operation.

The two wings attacked from Yangquan County and Xiyang County respectively, and the fourth floor of Tomadi was still holding on to his luck, and he felt that his troops should be able to make some progress.

Even if they can't quickly advance to the county seat of Pingding County, there is no problem for the two infantry wings to capture some small towns.

But by now, the fighting between the two sides had been going on for three hours, and the two infantry wings of the 104 brigade were forced to withdraw, and the losses of the two wings were somewhat serious.

Especially the 105th Wing, their first infantry brigade was raided by the new 2nd Brigade Cavalry 6th Regiment, if it weren't for Kudo Sutaka immediately with two infantry brigades and two artillery squadrons to reinforce the past, the 105th Wing 1st Brigade would have been completely annihilated.

"The 1st Brigade lost five infantry squads, one artillery squad, two machine gun squads, the infantry artillery squadron was completely annihilated, the mountain artillery squadron lost two mountain guns, we suffered more than 700 casualties, the number of casualties of the Chinese troops will not exceed 100 people, and they have a lot of tanks and artillery."

Kudo Sutaka saw that the gloomy face on the fourth floor of Tomamichi never spoke, and he lowered his head and immediately reported.

The 6th Cavalry Regiment has more than 2,000 people, equipped with 38 tanks, 14 armored vehicles, 42 artillery pieces, more than 10 20mm machine guns, and more than 70 light and heavy machine guns.

However, after all, the 6th Cavalry Regiment is a newly formed unit, and the training time of the unit is not long, so there are still many problems in the battle.

If it is an elite 6th Cavalry Regiment, then there is no big problem in engaging a Japanese army with the weapons and equipment of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, as long as there is no obvious wrong command and severely damage a Japanese infantry wing.

"The 52 Wing lost two infantry squadrons, an artillery squad, a machine-gun squadron. Eight Ga Ya Road! The fourth floor of Tomamidi said in a cold tone.

The Japanese army's retaliatory attack on Binh Dinh County this time had already lost more than an infantry brigade, which was fortunate that the Japanese army withdrew in time, otherwise their casualties would have been greater.

The 104th Brigade suffered a heavy loss at the hands of the troops of the New Second Brigade in Pingding County, and the 31st Brigade Regiment set out from Yuzhong County and Meng County immediately stopped advancing.

Yamaoka Shigehou and Motokuma had to send a telegram directly to the headquarters of the First Army to report the situation here, and they felt that it was not a specific condition to attack Pingding County at this time.

According to their speculation, if they wanted to defeat the troops of the new 2nd Brigade in Binh Dinh County, they would need to dispatch at least one heavy artillery wing, two infantry brigades, and one tank wing.

However, now that most of the troops of the North China Front are being transferred to fight on the front line, it is simply impossible for them to draw out so many troops.

What's more, looking at the entire North China Front, they also don't have a single wing of tanks.

After Kiyoji Kazuki received the telegram report, he could only curse in the headquarters, and after Terauchi Shouichi got the report, he sent aviation troops to retaliate for bombing.

In addition, the Japanese army had no way to deal with Sun Weiguo's new Second Brigade, after all, they were unable to draw up excess troops now.

This time, the Japanese army had to break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and the troops of the New Second Brigade had a large amount of supplies, and there was no need to worry about eating and drinking weapons and ammunition, and Sun Weiguo worked even harder to train the troops.

The armored battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment was still the target of Sun Weiguo's key training, conducting theoretical training in the morning, conducting actual combat drills in the afternoon, and learning armored tactics in the evening.

According to Sun Weiguo's requirements, the commanders of each tank must be able to master the tactical command of tanks at the platoon level, as well as tank maintenance skills, and the platoon commanders of tank platoons must also learn to cooperate with infantry and artillery and company-level tank tactics.

Twenty-four hours a day, the soldiers of the armored battalion can sleep for six hours, the commanders can sleep for five hours, and the platoon commanders and company commanders can sleep for a maximum of four hours.

Sun Weiguo was responsible for the training of the armored battalion, while the training of artillery and infantry was also carried out.

The artillerymen would shoot live ammunition, and Liang Zerui required each artillery officer to be able to accurately and quickly measure the firing elements.

The troops of the New Second Brigade continued to devote themselves to training, and with sufficient weapons and ammunition, there were more opportunities for live-ammunition training, and the quality of the soldiers began to improve.

After a week of intensive training, Sun Weiguo began to hold an offensive and defensive drill for the whole brigade, and on 15 May, the troops of the independent regiment began to be formed.

The Pingding County Independent Regiment was also changed from a unit directly under the Fourth Army Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to an independent regiment directly under the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.

The time soon came to the end of May, at this time the Battle of Lanfeng was nearing the end, and the Chinese troops of more than 100,000 people were not able to encircle and annihilate the 20,000 Japanese troops, which was called the laughing stock of the eternal by the chairman of the committee, and with the continuous advancement of the Japanese reinforcements, the Chinese troops could only be forced to give up the encirclement and annihilation of the 14th Division.

On May 30, the post of commander of the First Army was abolished, and Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro, the vice minister of the army, became the commander of the First Army.

Umezu Mijiro took office as a new official, and his eyes were first set on Pingding County.
