Terauchi Shouichi heard the report of the deputy chief of staff Shozo Kawabe, he showed a depressed expression on his face, when he learned about the situation of the various units fighting in Binh Dinh County, Terauchi Shouichi was almost desperate, the 21st Division was heavily damaged, the 1st Brigade of the melee lost an armored detachment, the 4th Cavalry Brigade was heavily damaged, and the 114th Division also suffered casualties.

Considering the current situation in the Japanese-occupied areas of North China, even if Terauchi Shouichi still wanted to completely encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's new Second Brigade, he still had to terminate this operation.

"Send a telegram to Umezu Mijiro and let him carry out the evacuation order, and use the first brigade to fight and the third brigade to garrison the county seat of Pingding County."

Shouichi Terauchi reluctantly gave an order, but he had a lot of anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it at this time.

Kawabe Shozo nodded, and he saluted Terauchi Shouichi, and then he began to order the communications staff to call back the First Army immediately.

There were still many staff officers in the headquarters, and when they heard the news, the eyes of these devil officers widened, and their faces couldn't help but show stunned expressions.

In the eyes of the staff officers of the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of a Japanese brigade is equivalent to that of a Chinese division, but this law is not suitable at all for Sun Weiguo's new 2nd Brigade.

"Our infantry brigade once defeated a branch of the China Division on the North China battlefield, so one of our infantry brigades can defeat a China Infantry Division. However, judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of one brigade of Sun Weiguo in China is equivalent to ten brigade-level troops in China, and one brigade of them can compete with one of our divisions. ”

"The biggest mistake in this operation is that we underestimated Sun Weiguo's use of armored troops, and the combat effectiveness of Sun Weiguo's sixth cavalry regiment can almost compete with the troops of one of our brigades, so we must increase the formation of armored units, and at the same time equip all departments with a sufficient number of anti-tank weapons."

"I really didn't expect that Sun Weiguo, who was weak at the beginning, would develop to the point where it is today, and we must completely annihilate Sun Weiguo's new second brigade within the right time, otherwise with the current situation, Sun Weiguo will sooner or later become the biggest enemy of our North China Imperial Army."

"Now Sun Weiguo is our henchman, but unfortunately this time we have gathered so many troops and there is no way to annihilate him, if we can completely annihilate him, I think at least two ad hoc divisions must be dispatched, and the performance of the armored detachment of the first brigade in this operation is really disappointing."

The staff officers of the North China Front were full of discussions, and they were extremely shocked by the achievements of the New Second Brigade, but they were also quickly summing up the lessons of this operation.

The staff officers of the Japanese army can be called the brains of the Japanese army, they are good at calculations, they are good at summarizing, and they will make many suitable plans.

This time, the Japanese army had the upper hand, but the 6th Cavalry Regiment formed by Sun Weiguo was a big lesson for the Japanese troops.

Where would the Japanese troops know the combat effectiveness of the tanks after concentrated use, they were unable to cope with the attack of the 6th Cavalry Regiment.

In the German army's war against France, the number of French tanks was more than that of Germany, and it was also superior to the German army in terms of performance, but the German army's concentrated tanks to carry out blitzkrieg caught France by surprise, causing France, known as the first military power in Europe, to resist only six months under the German attack and then choose to surrender.

The Japanese troops suffered heavy losses this time, but their staff officers immediately summed up the lesson, which is commendable.

Telegrams from the North China Front Headquarters began to be issued, and after the First Army received the telegrams, they immediately began to issue evacuation orders to the 114th and 21st Divisions.

At about six o'clock in the morning, the troops of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army withdrew to Yangquan County, the main force of the 114th Division was evacuated to Xiyang County, and the main forces of the First Brigade and the Third Independent Mixed Brigade were stationed in the county seat of Pingding County.

The Japanese troops also began to openly declare that they had ended the battle against the New Second Brigade in Pingding County, and that the Japanese troops had announced that they had captured the county seat of Pingding County and dealt a devastating blow to the New Second Brigade.

The main force of the devil soldiers withdrew from Pingding County, the two brigades of the Japanese army were stationed in the county seat, and the operation in Pingding County ended.

Although the county seat was occupied by the Japanese army, most of the small towns and villages in Pingding County were in the hands of the New Second Brigade.

In the center of the county seat of Pingding County, the headquarters of the First Brigade of the First Brigade, after receiving the order of the First Army Headquarters last night, Momoyo Kunomura immediately began to take his troops from Donghui Town to make a detour, and he led the infantry detachment and artillery detachment to immediately station in the county seat, and the troops of the Third Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade also rushed directly to the county town from the breakthrough of the guard battalion troops.

Because the two brigades controlled only a small area of the county seat, after Kunomura Momoyo arrived in the county seat, he immediately began to gather with the commander of the independent mixed third brigade, Major General Sasaki Toichi, and Kunomura Momoyo judged that the new 2nd Brigade troops were likely to counterattack immediately.

"Sasaki-kun, there is a good chance that there will be people in the county, and if there are people, I hope you can treat them well. Now we are stationed in a small county town, and the density of troops is very large, if the new second brigade heavy artillery shoots at us, the consequences are unimaginable, so we must treat the people well and let the people stay in the county town, so that the new second brigade heavy artillery will not play any role, Sasaki-kun, I hope you can restrain the troops of the independent mixed third brigade. ”

After seeing Sasaki to Ichi, Representative Kunomura Momo was now very respectful, and he looked at Sasaki Toichi in a kind tone and said.

Sasaki frowned slightly when he heard Kunomura Momoyo's words, and after hearing Kunomura Momoyo's explanation, he didn't raise any objections.

"Kuno-kun, there are no people in the county at all, even if we want to treat them well, we can't find people. Now that the sky is already dark, I am afraid that the troops of the new second brigade will immediately launch a counteroffensive against the county seat, and I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to immediately deploy defensive positions. Sasaki said as he stared at the map hanging on the wall.

A faint smile appeared on the face of Kunomura Momoyo, he pointed to the ground and said: "The people are underground, they will come out sooner or later, and the new second brigade has been hit hard in this operation, they need time to rest, and they will not launch a strong attack on the county seat for the time being." ”
