Chapter 481: The two brigades are united

The units of the second battle group began to advance towards the south according to the breakthrough route formulated by Sun Weiguo, and the troops of more than 1,000 people quickly dispersed and advanced towards Shiting Village and Houshan Village.

By the time the 1st and 2nd Japanese troops arrived at Juren Village, the troops of the 2nd Battle Group had already left here, and the Chinese officers and soldiers had left nothing but the corpses of the devil soldiers all over the ground.

When they found that the Chinese troops were moving towards the south, the two Shaozo captains did not dare to delay in the slightest, and they immediately contacted the commander of the 117th Wing, Gao Shu Kaichi, through the radio to inquire about the next battle plan.

Gao Shu Kaiichi did not expect his two infantry brigades to fall into the air, when he learned that the first brigade had paid two infantry squadrons, a machine gun squad, and an artillery squad casualties, Gao Shu Kaichi realized that the current strength of the first brigade is the weakest.

If the 1st Brigade continues to search for the troops, sooner or later the 1st Brigade will be ambushed by the Chinese forces.

After receiving the report of the two Shaozuo brigade commanders, Gao Shu Jiayi immediately contacted the brigade headquarters in the county seat, and Gao Shu Jiayi planned to change the deployment and conduct a dragnet search for the Chinese troops crossing the Songxi River, but the troops must have to greet the Japanese 25th Brigade Headquarters when they carried out such an operation.

The county seat of Xiyang County, the headquarters of the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

After Nakano received the request from the 117 Wing, the expression on his face was not very good, and it could even be said that he was very annoyed.

The 117th Wing paid nearly 400 casualties, such a loss made Naozo Nakano very uncomfortable, you must know that the heavy artillery unit in Shijiashan is in the 117th Wing's defense area, and the twelve heavy artillery pieces can bring a devastating blow to the Chinese troops at any time, but the 117th Wing still paid heavy casualties, and Nakano Naozo will naturally not be happy.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I carefully checked the report of Gao Shu Jiayizuo, the Chinese troops are scattered and carry out operations, they will occasionally concentrate to fight, but they will be very hidden when they concentrate on fighting, and once the operation is completed, the troops will disperse again, and it is difficult for heavy artillery units to shell them."

The chief of staff of the 25th Brigade came to Nakano Naozo and reported softly.

The various combat groups were scattered to fight, which made the Shijiashan Japanese heavy artillery useless, but when the troops were concentrated in the battle, the Shijiashan heavy artillery unit was still the biggest threat to the new Second Brigade, and this time when the village of Juren was conquered, there were more than 100 casualties among the troops, most of which were caused by the Japanese heavy artillery.

FUKUDA JIUEI'S 12 105MM CANNONS MADE SUN WEIGUO VERY JEALOUS, BUT THE NEW SECOND BRIGADE NOW HAS NO WAY TO DEAL WITH THESE HEAVY ARTILLERY, AND CAN ONLY EVADE THEM TO FIGHT.

"Immediately call back to Gao Shujia, and the brigade headquarters agrees with his battle plan, and at the same time immediately get in touch with the regimental headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the melee, ask the commander of the Momoshiro Brigade in Kunomura about the progress of their troops, and immediately order the 132nd Wing of Ebi Naei Ichisa's 132nd Wing to prepare for battle."

After staring at the map for a while, Nakano Naozo began to give orders, he would not passively defend against the attacks of the new second brigade.

Three-point messages began to be sent out from the 25th Brigade Headquarters, and the Japanese 117th Wing Headquarters, 132nd Wing Headquarters, and the 1st Brigade Headquarters of the Mixed Combat received the telegrams one after another.

After receiving the telegram, Gao Shu, the wing commander of the 117th Wing, immediately transferred the first brigade, which had suffered a lot of losses, to Zhanshang Town to serve as the guard unit of the wing headquarters, while the second and third brigades were dispatched by Gao Shujiayi.

After receiving the telegram, the commander of the 132nd Wing, Eiichi Ebi, knew that Nakano Naozo must have a combat mission for him, and he immediately asked the various brigades to assemble and wait for orders.

In Wujiashan, Pingding County, after a fierce battle between the Chinese and Japanese sides in Zhaojiayu Village, the Chinese and Japanese troops began to fall into a fierce artillery battle.

However, the Japanese had eight field guns that had an advantage in range, and after half an hour of artillery battle, the artillery units of the artillery group began to stop firing shells under the orders of the artillery commander.

IN THIS ARTILLERY BATTLE, THE ARTILLERY UNIT LOST FOUR 75MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, WHILE THE JAPANESE ARMY LOST TWO MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE JAPANESE HAD THE ADVANTAGE.

However, the artillery group of the first battle group occupied the heights of Wujiashan, and the Japanese troops wanted to take any action, they would be attacked by the artillery group.

With Wujiashan's artillery unit, Kunomura Momoyo had to be careful, and after he gathered the troops of the first brigade of the melee, Kunomura Momoyo did not fight for a long time.

After receiving a telegram from Nakano Naozo of the 25th Brigade, Kunomura Momoyo sent his plan to Nakano Naozo through the radio without any reservations.

Even if Kunomura Momoyo and Nakano Naozo are both major general brigade commanders, but Kunomura Momoyo belongs to the juniors, and the two brigades work together, Kunomura Momoyo naturally wants to listen to Nakano's opinion, even if he has any ideas, he also wants to greet Naozo Nakano.

In view of the deployment of the first battle group, Kunomura Momoyo did not intend to directly attack Wujiashan and Dongzhai Fushan, these two mountains were garrisoned by Chinese troops, especially Wujiashan and Chinese artillery groups, Kunomura Momoyo knew that if his troops launched a strong attack, they would definitely pay a heavy price for casualties.

So after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to take the main force of the first brigade of the melee to the east of Baijing Town, he used a small force to contain the Chinese troops of Wujiashan and Dongzhai Fushan, and attacked Baijing Town with the main force, after the troops captured Baijing Town, he would quickly detour back to Pingding County and directly attack the county seat of Pingding County, so as to mobilize the troops of the first battle group.

After Nakano Naozo got the battle plan of Kunomura Momoyo, he did not hesitate at all and agreed directly, and at the same time, Naozo Naozo also said his thoughts, that is, to send the 132nd Wing of Ebi Naei Ichisa to quickly enter Pingding County to fight, and cooperate with the troops of the first brigade of the mixed battle.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of 6 April, the troops of the 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army and the troops of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Mixed War negotiated a joint operation plan.

The 25th Brigade of the Japanese Army led the 117th Wing to contain the Chinese troops (the second battle group) that entered Xiyang County, and its 132nd Wing quickly entered Donghui Town, Pingding County.

After conquering Baijing Town, the 132nd Wing was temporarily assigned to the command of the First Brigade of the Melee, and the headquarters quickly went to the county seat of Pingding County to mobilize the Chinese troops (the first battle group) in the area of Wujiashan, if the Chinese troops in Wujiashan were unmoved, the Japanese troops would storm Pingding County, and after conquering Pingding County, they would turn around and encircle and annihilate the Chinese troops in the area of Wujiashan, and if the Chinese troops quickly returned to Pingding County, the Japanese troops would ambush on the road!
