Chapter 738: Temporary Abandonment

Kunomura Momoyo knows Sun Weiguo very well, and Kunomura Momoyo also has his own judgment on the next actions to be taken by the new Second Brigade.

In Kunomura Momoyo's view, the troops of the New Second Brigade have been hit to a certain extent at present, and after they learned that the Japanese troops had withdrawn, the troops of the New Second Brigade would definitely take a break and recuperate first, and then after recovering their strength, they would launch a strong attack on the county seat and thus recover the county seat.

What kind of commander Sun Weiguo is, Kunomura Momoyo knows very well, he knows that Sun Weiguo will definitely not allow the Japanese troops to capture the county seat of Pingding County.

However, Kunomura Momoyo also knew that the new second brigade did not have the ability to storm the county for the time being, so he found the commander of the independent mixed third brigade, the major general Sasaki Yuichi, and he did not want the officers and soldiers of the independent mixed third brigade to kill the people in the city.

After one or two people from Kunomura Momoyo and Sasaki, Kunomura Momoyo and Sasaki gave orders to their troops at the beginning, and they asked their devil soldiers to never cause harm to the people in the county once they found them.

It's not that they are kind, but they know that once there are no civilians in the county, the new 2nd Brigade will definitely use heavy artillery to attack the county.

The five infantry brigades of the 3rd Brigade began to dig fortifications around the county seat, and the four infantry brigades of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Brigade were to fortify the city.

Dozens of artillery pieces were scattered in different positions, and Kunomura Momoyo and Sasaki Daiichi personally drew up an operational plan for the defense of the county seat of Binh Dinh Prefecture.

At present, there are a total of nine infantry brigades in the 1st Mixed Brigade and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade Regiment, and these nine infantry brigades still retain a strength of 7,000 or 8,000 troops.

Moreover, they also had 12 artillery squadrons to support the operation, and these 12 artillery squadrons had mountain artillery and field artillery, and the Japanese army stationed in the county seat of Pingding County was very strong.

The Japanese troops were actively preparing for defense, and they were ready to hold on to the county seat, and the strength of these two brigades was somewhat threatening to the new 2nd Brigade.

Pingding County, Donghui Town, New Second Brigade Headquarters.

Most of the Japanese troops began to withdraw from Pingding County, and the various units that cooperated with the new Second Brigade began to stop fighting one after another, and here in Donghui Town, Sun Weiguo convened a meeting of officers above the battalion level of the New Second Brigade.

Before the combat meeting began, Zhong Jian, the commander of the independent regiment, found Sun Weiguo, Zhong Jian was relatively honest, and after coming to Sun Weiguo, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Old Commander, you are here for the affairs of the Fifth Battalion and the Sixth Battalion, Old Commander, I can promise you other things, but I can't promise you this matter."

Sun Weiguo looked at Zhong Jian and never spoke, he looked at Zhong Jian in front of him and said with a calm expression.

When Zhong Jian heard Sun Weiguo's words, he sighed helplessly, he looked at Sun Weiguo silently, and left here directly.

In the town, in a dilapidated house, officers above the battalion level of all departments have already arrived here, and Sun Weiguo came to the house accompanied by Fu Tao, deputy brigade commander, and Zhao Lerong, chief of staff.

When the officers saw Sun Weiguo, they got up from their chairs one after another, and they immediately saluted Sun Weiguo.

Sun Weiguo returned the salute, and then he sat down in a chair, and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong came to the map with a baton, and he pointed to the situation on the map and gave a detailed introduction. 、

The officers listened to Zhao Lerong's introduction, and their eyes looked towards the location of Pingding County on the map, and different expressions appeared on their faces.

The county seat of Pingding County was occupied by the Japanese army, and the officers were very unhappy, they looked at Sun Weiguo, and they were waiting for Sun Weiguo's order.

In the eyes of these officers, with Sun Weiguo's character, Sun Weiguo would definitely not allow such a thing to happen, and Sun Weiguo would definitely recover the county seat.

"Brigade commander, the little devils have captured the county seat, and now our main army has not been hit, now we might as well take the opportunity to immediately attack the county seat, directly recover the county seat, and drive out all the little devils in the county directly." Wang Tieniu, the deputy head of the pre-first regiment, looked at Sun Weiguo, and he said with a serious expression.

"Brigade commander, the little devil has suffered a lot of losses this time, we are going to fight the county seat now, we will definitely catch the little devil off guard, we have a great chance of recovering the county seat, if the little devils are stationed in the county seat, then their threat to us is too great."

"That's right, brigade commander, this time we have annihilated at least five or six thousand devil soldiers, and now the devil soldiers have been hit hard, we will immediately attack the county seat, the county seat will definitely be conquered by us, brigade commander, if we fight the county seat of Dingding County this time, our battalion is willing to serve as an assist."

"The little devils want to annihilate our new second brigade troops, but they have suffered heavy losses this time, and now that they have captured the county seat, we must not let them stay in the county seat, brigade commander, we still go to the county seat immediately and drive out all the little devils in the county seat."

The officers showed their attitudes one after another, they looked at Sun Weiguo, and they were waiting for Sun Weiguo to give an order.

At present, although the 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment suffered certain casualties, the troops were still able to continue fighting, while the casualties of the 6th Cavalry Regiment were negligible, and the officers felt that there was absolutely no problem in attacking the county town.

"I summoned you here this time just to discuss this matter with you, I know that the county town was captured by devil soldiers, and everyone is very uncomfortable, but I want to tell you that we should not attack the county for the time being, judging from the current situation, we do not have the ability to attack the county seat, so I hope you can restrain your emotions."

Sun Weiguo waited for everyone to express their opinions, he looked at the officers, he showed a firm expression on his face, and said in a serious tone.

Hearing Sun Weiguo's words, everyone showed stunned expressions on their faces, they looked at Sun Weiguo, their eyes widened, and even they felt that they had heard it wrong.

"Brigade commander, are we going to let the little devils occupy the county seat?" Wang Tieniu, the deputy head of the first regiment, said with a shocked expression.

"Let them occupy it for the time being, but in the later stage, we will definitely regain control of the county seat of Pingding County, and if we give up the county seat of Pingding County, the Zhengtai Railway of the little devils will resume normal operation, and we can guard the railway to fight the trains of the little devils, so as to get the weapons, ammunition and military supplies we need."

Sun Weiguo said calmly, he thought about this matter, and finally Sun Weiguo decided not to fight the county seat for the time being, let the little devils occupy it, and seize the county seat in the later stage.

When the officers heard Sun Weiguo's words, they fell into silence, and it was difficult for them to accept this matter for a while.
