The Japanese troops on the southern route suffered heavy losses, with casualties exceeding that of a brigade.

Seeing the content of the message, Yamashita Fengfu first gasped, and his face gradually became gloomy.

There were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the garrison, and there were only more than 1,000 independent regiments surrounded by the Japanese troops of the four routes.

Such a force obviously has an absolute advantage over the Japanese troops, and they can easily annihilate the independent regiment of Binh Dinh County.

But now the Japanese army on the eastern route has suffered heavy losses, and the rest of the Japanese troops have also suffered losses to varying degrees.

Such a result made Yamashita Fengwen very dissatisfied, and he glanced at the map, and a pair of eyes burst into anger.

"Your Excellency Corps Commander, the South Road troops have now been evacuated to the East Road troops in Nanzhuang Village, and there are no troops stationed south of Chengguan Town, Sun Weiguo's independent regiment is very likely to quickly break through to the south, and they are very likely to flow to Hebei Province."

The chief of staff of the garrison corps Nakasa quickly came to the front of Yamashita Fengwen, and after looking at the content of the telegram, the chief of staff of Nakasa couldn't help but show a panicked expression on his face, he glanced at the map, and said in a solemn tone.

Yamashita Fengwen naturally knew that after the withdrawal of the Japanese troops on the South Road, there were no Japanese troops left in the area south of Chengguan Town, and Sun Weiguo's independent regiment could quickly evacuate along here, in which case the Japanese army's plan would be shattered.

According to the plan of the North China Front, they wanted to force Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment to withdraw to the south, so that the troops of the 20th Division would be able to cooperate with the garrison corps to completely wipe out Sun Weiguo's Independent Regiment.

However, now the Japanese troops on the southern route were routed by the Independent Regiment, and there were no Japanese troops in the area south of Chengguan Town.

It is very likely that the troops of the Independent Regiment will quickly withdraw in the direction of Hebei Province, in which case the 20th Division will not play any role.

"As long as Sun Weiguo's independent regiment breaks through to the south, they will still not be able to escape from the palm of our hands. His Excellency the Commander of the Junction of Pingding County and Hebei Province has deployed two mixed brigades, and as long as Sun Weiguo breaks through to Hebei Province, these two mixed brigades can completely encircle and contain them. ”

Yamashita looked at the map with a cold gaze, a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

In the area of Jingcheng County, Shijiazhuang, where Hebei Province and Pingding County meet, Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese North China Front, invested in the newly established Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade and the Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade, which totaled more than 10,000 people.

The task of these two mixed brigades was to prevent the independent regiments from flowing into Hebei Province, and the two mixed brigades had already begun to enter the positions.

If the Independent Regiment breaks through in the direction of Hebei Province, the Independent Regiment will directly hit the muzzles of these two mixed brigades.

Once the Independent Regiment is held back by these two mixed brigades, and the garrison corps quickly pursues it from behind, the Independent Regiment will definitely be completely annihilated, and no one in the Independent Regiment will survive under the front and rear attack of more than 20,000 Japanese troops.

In order to be able to completely encircle and annihilate the independent regiment, the North China Front mobilized Japanese troops from Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, and they mobilized an infantry division, a garrison corps, and two mixed brigades.

"It is really unimaginable that the Independent Regiment actually has an armored unit, and immediately sent a telegram to the North China Front Headquarters, requesting the headquarters to transfer anti-tank weapons to the Fourth and Fifth Brigades of the Independent Mixed Army to deal with Sun Weiguo's armored forces.

In addition, the Fifth Brigade, which was independently mixed into the Fifth Brigade, was immediately dispatched to some tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, cavalry, and other units of Shuichi Takano, and asked them to immediately go to Nanzhuang Village, Chengguan Town, to accept the command of Okazaki Kiyozaburo, Wing Commander of the Second Infantry Wing. ”

Yamashita Fengfumi looked at Chief of Staff Nakasa, and he said in a stern tone.

The Japanese troops on the southern route had already been routed, so Yamashita Bongbun once again gave way to this road, thus giving the independent regiment a way to break through.

To pursue the evacuated troops of the Independent Regiment, it is always necessary to force the attack on the positions of the Independent Regiment, and Yamashita wanted to let the Independent Regiment withdraw from the position, so that the Japanese troops can pursue the troops of the Independent Regiment.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Chief of Staff Nakasa immediately nodded in agreement.

The Fifth Brigade of the garrison corps in Binh Dinh County immediately set off in the direction of Nanzhuang Village with several tanks of some of the troops left behind in Binh Dinh County, as well as armored vehicles, artillery, and cavalry.

At the same time, the headquarters of the North China Front received a telegram from Yamashita Fengfumi, and they immediately dispatched a tank brigade and two antitank gun squadrons to Jingcheng County to assist the two mixed brigades in combat.

At half past two in the afternoon, four bombers of the Provisional Aviation Regiment of the North China Front appeared over the town of Chengguan.

Four Japanese bombers carpet bombed the villages of Chengguan Town again, and they dropped aerial bombs on the ground.

The two ground attack planes dispatched by the Chinese Air Force had all been shot down by Japanese fighters, and all the personnel on board the two attack planes had been killed.

Without the threat of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese bombers behaved very arrogantly, and after they dropped aerial bombs, the Japanese bombers began to use machine guns to strafe Chinese officers and soldiers on the ground.

At this time, the first company stationed in Tianjing Village, the third platoon and the ninth platoon stationed in Nanzhuang Village, and other troops had already paid a heavy price.

Especially here in Tianjing Village, even if Sun Weiguo personally led the troops to reinforce the past, after the bombing of the Japanese bombers, the casualties of the troops were very heavy, and the position was already precarious.

"Deputy commander, you retreat quickly, the position here is handed over to me, I assure you, the people are in the position."

Yin Jin, the commander of the first company, braved the Japanese bomber machine gun fire, he came to Sun Weiguo with a submachine gun, Yin Jin said with a nervous face.

Sun Weiguo was controlling a crooked light machine gun, and Sun Weiguo was already stained with a lot of dust.

The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, but Sun Weiguo didn't care at all, he stared at the devil soldiers in front of him, waiting for them to attack, Sun Weiguo came to Tianjing Village with dozens of people, but because of the large number of recruits in these dozens of people, coupled with the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the troops suffered heavy losses.

After the Japanese bombers bombed the village again, the soldiers had no place to hide at all.

They were lying on the ground completely, waiting for the attack of the devil soldiers.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander, the casualties have been counted, we already have four infantry squadrons, one artillery squadron, three machine gun squadrons have suffered heavy losses, and there are less than a thousand people who can continue to fight, and we have a lot of ammunition consumption."

Attacking the first infantry wing of the devil garrison corps in tianjing village, at this time, a captain of the shaozuo brigade came to the captain of the dazuo wing, hasegawa ki, and he reported with a solemn expression.
