Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.

The commander of the general, Terauchi Shouichi, was standing in front of the map at this time, and his eyes looked towards the location of Fuping County, but the expression on Terauchi Shouichi's face was not very good at this time.

Fuping County has the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, the 110th Division, the third brigade of the independent mixed brigade, and the main force of the fourth brigade of the independent mixed army.

According to the battle plan provided by Ishihara Wan'er, after the troops of these two divisions and two brigades captured Fuping County, they were to immediately go to Wutai County.

However, what made Terauchi Shouichi very angry was that the strength of these two divisions and two brigades was currently pinned down in Fuping County, and so many Japanese troops could not participate in the war for the time being.

"Your Excellency, the main forces of the 110th Division and the 21st Division have begun to march towards Wutai County, and it will not be long before they can rush to Wutai County to participate in the battle. However, the main force of the Jinchaji Military Region in Fuping County still exists, and it is usually difficult for us to find them, but now they are all gathered together, and now is the best time to attack them. Your Excellency, Commander, if we can now use the 21st Division, the 110th Division, the 3rd Brigade and the 4th Brigade to fight them, we will definitely receive unexpected results. ”

Yamashita Hofumi, chief of staff of the Major General of the North China Front, came to Terauchi Shouichi, and Yamashita Hofumi looked at Terauchi Shouichi, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

At present, the troops directly under the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the main forces of the three military sub-districts are all assembled in Fuping County, and although the county seat of Fuping County has fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, the vast rural areas are firmly in the hands of the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the Japanese troops have been strongly contained.

However, the Japanese troops were also clear about their combat mission, and on the one hand, they used the independent mixed third brigade and the independent mixed fourth brigade to contain the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, while the troops of the 110th and 21st divisions quickly entered Wutai County to participate in the battle.

As the troops of the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region began to assemble in Fuping County one after another, many staff officers of the North China Front Headquarters began to realize that this was the best opportunity to encircle and annihilate the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

In the past, the Japanese troops attacked the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were scattered and hidden, so that the Japanese army could never find where their main force was.

But now the situation is different, the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region began to assemble in Fuping County one after another, they felt that the opportunity had come, and the Japanese army deployed 21 divisions and 110 divisions in Fuping County, independently mixed into the third brigade, independent mixed into the fourth brigade with a total of more than 40,000 troops, and now the Japanese army in Fuping County is very tough.

"Solve Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division first, as long as Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division troops are resolved, the rest of the Eighth Route Army troops are not worried. After annihilating the troops of the Honor Second Division, we went back to clean up the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region and the troops of the 120th Division, by the way, these two troops did not pose a threat to our supply lines for the time being, right? ”

Terauchi Shouichi's gaze shifted to Fuping County, he glanced at Fuping County, and then asked.

As a large number of Japanese troops began to enter Wutai County, the Japanese supply lines began to be stretched, and according to Ishihara, the Eighth Route Army troops would attack the Japanese supply lines, for which the Japanese army in North China formed mobile units, which included mechanized infantry, cavalry, and armored units.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Anan Weiji, Lieutenant General of the 109th Division, has sent an urgent message, the mobile troops under the command of Matsumoto Kuramao have been attacked by the cavalry units and armored troops of the Second Division of the Honor of China, and their losses are very serious at present, and the rest are assembled in the county seat of Daixian, and the commanders of Anan Weiji Division have requested tactical guidance."

Muto Zhang, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, walked quickly to Terauchi Shouichi, and he reported in a solemn tone.

After hearing Muto Akira's report, Ishihara Waner, who was sitting in a chair, immediately stood up, and he walked to the map several times, and looked at the location of Daixian on the map with a heavy expression.

"Immediately contact the mobile unit directly, ask them for details, and ask them to report the details of the rest of the unit." Ishihara looked at the chief of staff on the side, Yamashita Fengfumi, and said with a solemn expression.

"Immediately contact the mobile unit Matsumoto Kurazang and ask him to report the situation in detail." Yamashita Fengwen looked at the young staff officer in charge of communications on the side and said.

"Hi, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Staff Officer Shaozo immediately replied.

After a while, Matsumoto Kurazang began to call back to the North China Front Headquarters, and Matsumoto Kurazang gave a detailed introduction to the situation of his troops.

When Ishihara learned that there were only more than 300 cavalry and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles left in the mobile force, the expression on his face changed greatly.

He used the cavalry and armored troops directly under each division to form a mobile unit, which was the Eighth Route Army unit responsible for attacking and harassing supply lines, and Ishihara was also prepared to use this mobile force at the critical time of encircling and annihilating the Honor Second Division.

However, how could he not be shocked that this mobile unit had not yet undertaken any major combat mission, but they had suffered heavy casualties and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

"How did Matsumoto Kurazang command the troops to fight, even if he encountered the cavalry and armored troops of the Honorary Second Division, it was impossible for him to pay so many casualties, Your Excellency Commander, so that the commander should be immediately sent to the military court."

Ishihara's face was pale, he looked at the map coldly, and said with an angry expression on his face.

Terauchi Shouichi was also shocked, the mobile force has hundreds of cavalry units, as well as more than 50 tanks and more than 30 tanks and two mechanized infantry squadrons, so that the troops have the ability to protect themselves even if they encounter cavalry and armored troops, but now the mobile troops have suffered so many casualties of cavalry and tanks, which Terauchi Shouichi did not expect.

"The mobile force only has more than 300 cavalry units and more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles, and they will not have any impact on the battle situation, on the contrary, they are now stationed in the county seat of Daixian, and the Chinese cavalry and armored troops are to send troops to be responsible for containing them, and if we send aviation to assist the mobile troops in combat, we can contain a part of the Chinese cavalry and armored troops."

Ishihara stared at the map, and he said in a calm tone, it was clear that he was planning to abandon the mobile force.

"There are too many numbers of these troops, and if they are completely annihilated, I am afraid that the impact will be great." Yamashita Fengwen said in a solemn tone.

If the mobile unit is completely annihilated, then the Chinese army will have the honor of the cavalry wing of the 2nd Division and the 1st Division, two tank squadrons, the 114th Division Cavalry Brigade, a tank squadron, the 110th Division Cavalry Brigade, a tank squadron, a 21st Division Search Team, an armored convoy, a 26th Division Search Team, and an armored convoy.

If such a record is listed, the Japanese troops will not only lose face, but their morale will also be greatly affected, and at the same time, it will also boost the morale of the Chinese troops.
