The troops of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army fought a decisive battle in Wutai County, and for the troops of the Jin Sui Army, they did not want to wade into this troubled water.

You must know that in 1937, half of the Fifth Division defeated more than 100,000 Jin Sui Army troops, and this incident left a deep psychological shadow on the Jin Sui Army troops.

Although the Jin Sui army also competed with the Japanese army during this period, they almost did not win, and every time they fought with the Japanese army, the Jin Sui army ended in defeat.

The 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the Honorary Second Division, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region fought a decisive battle with the Japanese troops in Wutai County.

Yan Xishan was very unoptimistic about this operation, but after Sun Weiguo's Second Division annihilated the troops of the Second Brigade and the Independent Mixed Brigade one after another, the independent garrison, and the mobile troops, Yan Xishan realized that the troops of the Eighth Route Army were very likely to win a battle in Shanxi.

He first dispatched Tang Chunhua, deputy director of the General Staff Office of the Second Theater Commander's Department, and at the same time he sent troops from the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment.

Yan Xishan is planning to intervene, if the Eighth Route Army troops really win the battle, Yan Xishan can boast and brag, of course, if the Eighth Route Army troops are defeated, then he just sent an infantry regiment and a cavalry regiment, even if these two regiments are all sacrificed, Yan Xishan will not care.

Tang Chunhua had already taken the lead in rushing to the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division in Wutai County, while the troops of the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment had already begun to enter Dongzhi Town.

According to Yan Xishan's idea, the troops of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment were going to the location of the division headquarters of the Honorary Second Division, and these two regiments Yan Xishan were sent to Wutai County, but he still didn't want these two regiments to be lost for no reason, so he asked these two regiments to go to Sun Weiguo's side and serve as Sun Weiguo's guard troops.

Yan Xishan is a native of Shanxi, and he is his greatest ability, and he has made his own wishful thinking.

"Tuanzuo, there are two telegrams from the Honorary Second Division, one is sent in the personal name of Division Commander Sun Weiguo, and the other is sent by the Honorary Second Division."

In Dongzhi Town, in the regimental headquarters of the First Independent Infantry Regiment, a staff officer came to the colonel Fang Yan, the commander of the regiment, with a telegram.

Fang Yan, who was wearing a colonel's uniform, was standing in front of the map at this time, and he was discussing the next route of the troops with Yu Jinming, the colonel of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.

Hearing that it was a telegram sent by Sun Weiguo, Fang Yan and Yu Jinming couldn't help but glance at each other, and there were puzzled expressions on their faces.

They didn't expect Sun Weiguo to send a telegram to themselves, and the two of them hurriedly took the telegram and checked it.

The content of the telegram sent by Zhao Lerong from the headquarters of the Honorary Second Division was that he hoped that the troops of the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment would be able to quickly attack Baijiazhuang Town, and that the Fifth Detachment of the 120th Division would be relieved of the siege for the Honorary First Regiment, the Unknown Regiment, and the Fifth Detachment of the 120th Division.

Sun Weiguo hoped that Fang Yan and Yu Jinming could read the feelings of the same Shanxi people and help Sun Weiguo solve this crisis, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo also hoped that they would give more consideration to the compatriots in Shanxi in Wutai County, attack the Japanese army in Baijiazhuang Town, and relieve the siege of the Honorary First Regiment and other units.

Fang Yan and Yu Jinming are both from Shanxi, both of them are about 30 years old, Fang Yan graduated from the fourth infantry class of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Yu Jinming graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Military Academy, Shanxi Taiyuan Military Academy, and later went to the French Military Academy to study cavalry.

After they read the message sent by Sun Weiguo, the expressions on the faces of the two people changed differently, they looked at each other, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.

Yan Xishan gave them the order to immediately go to the county seat of Wutai County and serve as the guard unit of the Honorary Second Division.

But now Sun Weiguo wants them to attack Baijiazhuang Town, which makes Fang Yan and Yu Jinming a little embarrassed.

And they know very well that the two divisions of the Japanese army are besieging the Honor First Regiment and other troops, and they are now going to attack Baijiazhuang Town, which is not going to send them to death.

"Tuanzao, according to the report of the commander's department, it is the two elite divisions of the Japanese army that are active in Baijiazhuang Town, although the commander's department does not have their specific numbers for the time being, but it is certain that there are the first division of the Japanese army, and our two regiments are only more than 4,000 people.

The chief of staff of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment looked at Fang Yan, and he said with a solemn expression, he felt that if Fang Yan carried out Sun Weiguo's order, the troops would definitely be wiped out.

"Yes, not to mention that the Japanese army has two divisions and regiments, even Commander Yan's orders cannot be disobeyed, if we disobey Commander Yan's orders, Commander Yan will definitely be dealt with by military law. Tuanza, I suggest that we ignore these telegrams and immediately move towards the county seat of Wutai County. The chief of staff of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment also said hurriedly.

In their opinion, the attack on Baijiazhuang Town not only violated Yan Xishan's order, but also that there were two Japanese divisions near Baijiazhuang Town, the First Independent Infantry Regiment and the Third Cavalry Regiment, if they attacked Baijiazhuang Town, then these two regiments would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese army.

"Head Fang, what do you mean? The First Regiment of Honor and other troops are now being pinned down by the little devils, and if we don't make a move at this time, they will definitely be annihilated by the little devils. The Honorary Second Division is the spiritual pillar of the Anti-Japanese War, and if there are heavy casualties in their troops, it will be a great blow to the morale of the army and the people, and the morale of the Japanese army will also be improved because of this. ”

Yu Jinming's brows furrowed tightly, he glanced at the map, and then he looked at Fang Yan again, and he asked in a solemn tone.

"Tuanzuo, if we attack Baijiazhuang Town, the little devils will definitely surround us quickly, where are our two divisions and regiments opponents, you can't be rash at this time, if you go to Baijiazhuang Town, our regiment will definitely be wiped out by the little devils."

After Yu Jinming's words came out, the chief of staff of the Third Cavalry Regiment quickly realized what Yu Jinming wanted to do, and he said with a nervous face.

"Summoning the battalion commanders of each battalion to immediately go to the regimental headquarters for a meeting." At this time, Fang Yan, the commander of the 1st Independent Infantry Regiment, immediately gave an order.
