Chapter 490: Three Battle Groups

"Counselor Wang, how is the situation in Donghui Town?"

After staring at the map for a while, Sun Weiguo looked at Wang Kunyao, and he asked softly.

"Brigade commander, for the time being, I haven't received a telegram from the deputy chief of staff of Donghui Town." Wang Kunyao replied immediately.

As soon as his words fell, Luo Hongyi, the company commander of the communications company, walked quickly to Sun Weiguo, and Luo Hongyi handed the telegram he had just received to Sun Weiguo.

"It was a telegram sent by the deputy chief of staff, the armored battalion and the cavalry battalion were intercepted by the Japanese troops, Yin Jinshan and Ge Haifeng did not go to Donghui Town for the time being, the Japanese troops have begun to launch a fierce attack on Dazhai Nuying Mountain and Woniu Mountain, and the 10th and 11th companies have already suffered casualties."

After Sun Weiguo glanced at the message, he looked towards Donghui Town and said in a calm tone.

"Brigade commander, we will immediately support the Donghui Town operation." Wang Kunyao said hurriedly.

Sun Weiguo nodded silently, his eyes looked towards Donghui Town, Pingding County, and there was a little light in his eyes.

"Concentrate the troops to besiege the Japanese troops heading to Donghui Town, and if they can't annihilate them all, at least one of them will be annihilated, and they will destroy their plan to make peace with the Japanese troops who set off from Niangziguan Town." Sun Weiguo clenched his fist with his right hand, and he slammed it the location of Donghui Town on the map.

"Brigade commander, the troops of the Eighth Route Army forwarded the telegram of the Commander's Department of the Second Theater of Operations, the Japanese troops starting from Niangziguan Town are numbered as the First Brigade of Mixed Operations, and the headquarters has artillery, cavalry, engineers, armored troops and other mixed arms, and the commander of the Major General Brigade is the opponent of our brigade in the northwest of Shanxi, Kunomura Momoyo. The Japanese army in Xiyang County was the 109th Brigade of the 25th Division, and the brigade commander was Major General Naozo Nakano. ”

Sun Weiguo had just made up his mind to launch a siege on the 132nd Wing of the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army heading to Donghui Town, when Wang Kunyao came over with a telegram he had just received and reported.

After hearing this report, Sun Weiguo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"I'm afraid he's the only one who can quickly see through our intentions, and this is a tough opponent." Sun Weiguo muttered to himself.

In the northwest of Jin Province, Sun Weiguo relied on many reinforcements to be able to defeat Kunomura Taoyo, and the first regiment of Sun Weiguo's reserve in that battle paid the price of casualties, and Sun Weiguo's plan to encircle and annihilate the Japanese puppet army was also in vain, only to annihilate the Japanese army.

And in that battle, Sun Weiguo persuaded the puppet army troops to flee, which created an opportunity for the Chinese troops.

This time it was all Japanese troops, and even if Sun Weiguo was talking badly, it was impossible to persuade these Japanese troops to flee, and this time it was obviously a test of the command ability of the commanders of both sides.

Sun Weiguo, Shen Wei and the four detachment leaders had some discussion, and finally they decided to adopt Sun Weiguo's combat plan to encircle and annihilate the 132nd Wing.

At 7 p.m. on 6 April, Sun Weiguo, in the name of deputy commander of the Jindong Combat Corps, began to re-issue operational orders.

1. The first battle group was reorganized with the independent detachment, artillery group, special service battalion, the first battalion of the pre-first regiment, and the independent regiment (owing cavalry battalion), the commander of the first battle group was the commander of the Qin detachment, and the deputy commander was Zhong Jian of the independent regiment, and its combat area was Wujiashan, Dongzhai Fushan, Baijing Town, the county seat of Pingding County, Shimenkou Town, and Suogong Town, and its combat mission was to contain the first brigade of the Japanese melee.

2. Take the 1st Reserve Regiment (owed to the 1st Battalion), the Mobile Combat Group (the Armored Battalion, the 1st Advance Regiment Cavalry Battalion, the Independent Regiment Cavalry Battalion. The Yongxing detachment, the first company of the artillery battalion of the 129th Division, and the mortar company of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region reorganized the second battle group, the commander of the second battle group was the commander of the Zeng detachment, and the deputy commander was Fu Tao, whose combat area was Donghui Town, Zhangzhuang Town, and its combat mission was to annihilate the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army.

3. The third battle group was formed with guerrilla detachments, sniper squadrons, special combat teams, guard battalions, reconnaissance companies, and engineer companies of the new second brigade, with the commander of the third battle group being the commander of the Gui detachment and the deputy commander being Zhao Lerong, chief of staff of the new second brigade, whose combat area was Xiyang County, and its combat mission was to contain the 117th Wing of the Japanese army in Xiyang County, and at the same time to attack the heavy artillery unit of the Japanese army in Shijiashan.

4. With Wang Naigui's detachment as the general reserve, the units that were transferred were returned to their combat units one after another, and the new second brigade set up the deputy headquarters of the Jindong Combat Corps in Yangquan County, and political commissar Shen Wei led the brigade personnel to stay in Yangquan County, and Sun Weiguo went to the second battle group to command the operation.

As Sun Weiguo's orders began to be issued, the various ministries quickly began to mobilize.

More than 4,000 troops of the independent detachment quickly went to Wujiashan and other places, and Zhong Jian led the independent regiment and the first battalion of the pre-1st regiment to set up a defensive line in Baijing Town.

The troops of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Pre-1st Regiment that fought in Xiyang County quickly returned to the formation of the 1st Pre-Regiment and participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army in Donghui Town.

The guerrilla detachment, under the leadership of the Gui detachment, quickly dispersed into Xiyang County, and the various units began to detour behind the Japanese troops to carry out guerrilla warfare and expand the combat area.

Wang Naigui's detachment was deployed in Yangquan County, waiting for support orders at any time.

The night was deep, and the dim moonlight shone on the ground, and in the village of Xinpanshi, four kilometers from Baijing Town, the troops of the 1st Mixed Brigade began to be formed here.

At this time, the Major General of the First Brigade of the Melee Brigade Nagano Village Momoyo and the Chief of Staff Hattori Chiaki were standing in front of the map, and the two of them were discussing the next battle.

As the cavalry began to continue to reconnoiter around, the number of Chinese troops obviously began to increase, this news did not hide from the eyes of Kunomura Momoyo, after knowing this news, Kunomura Momoyo showed a solemn expression on his face, he knew that once the Chinese troops increased, then his troops wanted to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, I am afraid it would become difficult.

"At present, all the troops of China are cowering on the mountains of Wujiashan and Dongzhai Mountain, it is very difficult to overcome these two mountains, Your Excellency the brigade commander, the armored detachment has lost three Type 95 tanks again in blocking the armored forces of China, and at present, the armored forces of China have been routed to the south, and the armored forces have stopped pursuing, and Morikawa Nakasa feels that this is a strategy of the armored forces of China to lure the enemy."

Chiaki Hattori pointed to various locations on the map, and he reported softly.

"Order all departments to start assembling with Xinpanshi Village as the center, first assemble the main forces, tomorrow we will first conquer Baijing Town, and after the 25th Brigade and the 132nd Wing of the 132nd Brigade, we are attacking the county seat of Pingding County, the Chinese troops will definitely not sit idly by and watch the county town be conquered by us, they will definitely take action."

After being silent for a while, Momoyo Kunomura had a serious expression on his face, and he said in a solemn tone.

He decided to assemble the main force of the troops first, and then attack the town of Baijing, this time he did not send any troops to contain the Chinese troops on Wujiashan and Dongzhai Fushan, from the point of view of Kunomura Momoyo, he most wanted this Chinese force to be dispatched, in the field, the first brigade of the melee is absolutely capable of eating this Chinese force.
