The losses of the Tank Wing and the 7th Independent Infantry Brigade in the direction of Shimen Town were unbearable for Kunomura Momoyo, who stood in front of the map in a daze, looking at the map of Pingding County, and Kunomura Momoyo fell into deep thought, and he was thinking about countermeasures to break the enemy.

With the successive recapture of Gutou Village in Suochun Town and Zaoling Village in Shimen Town by Chinese troops, Momoyo Kuno Village knew that the eastern suburbs of his brigade headquarters and artillery wing had become the target of the Eighth Route Army on the east and west routes.

Kunomura Momoyo looked at the time, it was now 2:35 in the afternoon, and he knew that in less than half an hour, Sun Weiguo's mechanized troops on the East Road would appear in Dongjiao Village.

"More than a thousand cavalry units, forty tanks, dozens of armored vehicles, more than four hundred mechanized infantry, four heavy artillery. This is Sun Weiguo's most elite mechanized troops, they were the ones who completely annihilated the Morikawa Nakazo armored detachment and the 4th Cavalry Brigade in Zanhuang County, and now they want to end our brigade headquarters. ”

Kunomura Momoyo slammed his right fist into the map, sweat had begun to ooze from his forehead, and now the situation was very unfavorable for the Japanese army.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Momoyo Kunomura looked towards the Chief of Staff, Chiaki Hattori.

"We must now shrink our forces to protect the artillery positions, and if the artillery positions are captured by the Chinese troops, the situation will be very unfavorable for us. You immediately contact the 1st Wing of the Mixed Warfare and ask them to give up the attack on Suochun Town, and the 1st Wing of the Mixed Combat immediately retreats to Dongjiao Village, and at the same time contact General Sasaki of the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade of the county seat, and ask him to immediately send troops to meet the troops of Shimen Town to break through to the county seat, first stick to the county seat and Dongjiao Village, and resist the attack of the Chinese troops. ”

Kunomura Momoyo began to give battle orders, and he began to shrink the scattered forces together.

Although the tank wing suffered heavy losses, the elite of the Japanese army mastered by Momoyo Kunomura still existed, and he knew that he still had the capital to fight with Sun Weiguo.

The first melee brigade, the second melee brigade, and the third melee brigade of the first melee brigade were not seriously damaged, they were still able to continue fighting, the independent sixth brigade has been serving as a reserve, this is a complete infantry brigade, although the independent eighth brigade has some losses, but the main force has not been hit, Kunomura Momoyo still has five brigades in his hands, and he also has a complete artillery wing, as well as search teams and other troops.

Kunomura Momoyo shrunk five infantry brigades together, and he planned to hold on to the eastern suburbs and use the artillery wing to fight a decisive battle with Sun Weiguo's troops.

The Chinese troops had no air cover, and the Japanese troops relied on numerous artillery covers to hold the village, and he believed that he could resist the attack of Sun Weiguo's troops.

Kunomura Momoyo's orders began to be conveyed quickly, and after the Japanese troops received the order, they began to quickly assemble towards the eastern suburbs.

The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade in the county town began to send the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade to advance towards Shimen Town, this infantry brigade was intended to receive the independent 7th Brigade guarding Shimen Town and withdraw to the county seat, and Kuno Village Momoyo was preparing for the Japanese troops in Pingding County to hold the line from the county seat of Pingding County to Dongjiao Village, and they quickly switched from attack to defense.

Kunomura Momoyo tried in vain to use the defense to kill and injure a large number of the living forces of the Eighth Route Army, so as to create a favorable fighter for his troops again.

However, Kunomura Momoyo seemed to forget that the opponent he encountered was Sun Weiguo, and Sun Weiguo was able to quickly find the battle record from the overall situation, so as to destroy the living force of the Japanese army.

In Gutou Village, the regimental headquarters of the nameless regiment began to be stationed here, and the regiment commander Wang Tieniu rushed here with the radio station as soon as possible.

Before Sun Weiguo had time to greet Wang Tieniu, Luo Hongyi, an operational staff officer, came to Sun Weiguo quickly, and Luo Hongyi reported to Sun Weiguo in detail on the operation situation in Pingding County at this time.

After learning that the Eastern Route Army had regained control of Zaoling Village, Sun Weiguo had a smile on his face, he knew that Yin Jinshan, Ge Haifeng and other officers could now completely stand alone.

"Brigadier Fu Tao, tell me what you think." Sun Weiguo ordered Fu Tao, and he looked at Fu Tao expectantly and said.

This is Sun Weiguo's test to deal with Tao, and he wants to see what Fu Tao thinks about the next battle.

"Commander, although our battle in Suochun Town has brought some casualties to the Japanese army, but the little devils have not reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, now thousands of little devils are shrinking together, it is difficult for us to eat them, even if we can eat them, I am afraid that our own casualties will be very large, I think it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers, the little devils will gather the main force in the eastern suburbs of the village to defend, we simply besiege the Japanese army in the eastern suburbs with a favorable force, and concentrate the main force to fight the Japanese army in the county seat or Shimen Town."

After Fu Tao pondered for a while, he immediately expressed his opinion.

Sun Weiguo regularly gave lectures to the officers, and the officers' command art was improved to a certain level.

"Commander, brigade commander, this little devil of Kunomura Momoyo must be in the eastern suburbs of the village, I think we still concentrate our forces to fight the eastern suburbs of the village, if we kill the little devil of Kunomura Momoyo, we will reduce a lot of trouble in the future." Wang Tieniu, the head of the nameless regiment, looked at Sun Weiguo and Fu Tao and said.

Sun Weiguo shook his head, he ignored Wang Tieniu's suggestion, and he immediately began to deploy the troops.

At present, the units that can participate in the battle of the Sixth Army subdivision include the 1st Regiment of the New 2nd Brigade, the 6th Cavalry Regiment and the units directly under the brigade headquarters, the unnamed regiment directly under the headquarters of the Sixth Army Division, the artillery regiment and the units directly under the headquarters.

The number of tanks is overwhelming, and the armored troops trained by Sun Weiguo himself are comparable to the quality of the German armored troops at this time, and the armored troops of the Sixth Army Division have a theory that is decades more advanced than the German armored troops in the use of tanks.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of 25 July, shortly after the Japanese Army's First Brigade Major General Nagasura Momoyo changed his deployment, Sun Weiguo, in his capacity as commander of the Sixth Army Division, immediately issued a targeted deployment.

Xiaokou Village is located in the center of Dongjiao Village and Shimen Town, where mobile troops are deployed and can participate in the operations of Dongjiao Village and Shimen Town at any time, and at the same time, mobile troops can use their mobility to quickly attack the county seat of Pingding County.

In view of the Japanese troops in Dongjiao Village, Sun Weiguo made a bold deployment, he dispatched Wang Tieniu's Unknown Regiment to contain the Japanese troops in Dongjiao Village, while Fu Tao, the commander of the New Second Brigade, commanded the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, and the troops of the First Regiment launched an attack on the Japanese troops in Shimenmen Town, encircled and annihilated the Japanese troops in Shimenkou Town, and the artillery regiment directly under the headquarters cooperated with the New Second Brigade.

The third company of the reconnaissance battalion, which was originally assigned to the East Route Army, returned to contain it, and the reconnaissance battalion troops attacked and advanced from Dongnaozhai Mountain to the county seat of Pingding County to contain the Japanese troops in the county, and the Huang Guohua guard battalion still served as a reserve.
