Tahara Kukai's independent garrison and Sasaki Toichi's independent mixed 3rd Brigade have captured Binh Dinh County, and more than 10,000 troops of these two forces have begun to carry out punishment operations in Binh Dinh County, but the people of Binh Dinh County have already moved to the tunnels, and it is difficult for the little devils to find the people.

Yamashita Fengfumi, chief of staff of the North China Front Command, explained to Ishihara Waner, but the expression on Ishihara Waner's face was still a little displeased.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that the troops of the second brigade of the Ningwu County Independent Mixed Brigade are more than lucky, and now the 109th Division must quickly go to Dai County through the Tongpu Railway, and the 109th Division must be together with the 26th Division, otherwise the 26th Division will also be in danger. The 1st Division, the Independent Garrison, and the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade must be quickly stationed in Yuanping County, Xin County, and Meng County, otherwise, the troops of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army will definitely look for fighters again to strike at the troops of the 26th Division. ”

Ishihara Wan'er pointed to the location of Wutai County on the map, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn and said.

When the personnel of the Terauchi Shouichi and other commanders heard that Ishihara would guess that the troops of the Independent Mixed Second Brigade would be more auspicious, their faces began to show worried expressions.

This time, the Japanese army assembled the 1st Division, 21st Division, 26th Division, 109th Division, 110th Division, Independent Mixed Second Brigade, Independent Mixed Third Brigade, Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, Independent Garrison, Seventh Wing of Independent Field Heavy Artillery, and Eighth Wing of Independent Field Heavy Artillery to participate in the battle, and the strength of the Japanese army reached more than 100,000.

The main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region they faced was only more than 20,000 people, and counting Sun Weiguo's honorary second division, the Eighth Route Army had more than 40,000 troops, and the Japanese army had an absolute advantage in both equipment and numbers.

However, now that the various divisions have not completely completed the assembly at the predetermined location, the troops of the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade are very likely to be severely damaged, and such a blow is unacceptable to Terauchi Shouichi.

"Ishihara-kun, how is this possible, there are more than 4,000 people in the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and there are still 26th Divisions in Ningwu County, even if the main force of the Honorary Second Division goes to Ningwu County, it is impossible for them to annihilate the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade in one day." Deputy Chief of Staff Akiosa Muto said with a look of disbelief.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 26th Division has sent an urgent telegram, they have received a farewell telegram from the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, and at the current position, the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade has completely lost contact. The headquarters of the 26th Division is trying to get in touch with the infantry brigades under the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, but there has been no response for the time being. According to the judgment of the regimental headquarters of the 26th Division, it is very likely that the regimental headquarters of the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has been eliminated by the Chinese troops. ”

As soon as Muto Akira's questioning voice fell, a staff officer in charge of communications hurriedly came to Terauchi Shouichi and reported, his face full of solemn expressions.

"Bagaya Road, immediately contact all the radio stations of the Independent Mixed Second Brigade." Shouichi Terauchi shouted.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Staff Officer Shaozo immediately replied with a salute.

Ishihara Wan'er heard the report of the staff officer of Shaozuo, and he was even more determined in his judgment, and he even thought that the independent mixed second brigade was very likely to have been completely wiped out.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our intelligence agency has just heard a telegram from the Commander's Headquarters of the Second Theater of Operations, and we have deciphered this telegram, the Honorary Fourth Regiment, the Honorary Fifth Regiment, and the Unknown Regiment of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army secretly entered Ningwu County, and they carried out encirclement and annihilation operations against the Second Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army. At present, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are cleaning up the remnants of the independent mixed second brigade. ”

Shouichi Terauchi and the others frowned, their eyes looked at the radio, they were waiting for the independent mixed second brigade to call back.

But at this moment, an Osaku officer from the intelligence department ran in from outside in a panic, and after standing in front of Terauchi Shouichi and Yamashita Fumi, the Osaku officer immediately reported.

The Japanese intelligence department had spies in the Second War Zone, and they could listen to and decipher all the messages exchanged in the Second War Zone.

After the troops of the Honorary Second Division obtained the good news in Ningwu County, Sun Weiguo reported the good news to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time, this telegram was also sent to the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the headquarters of the 120th Division, and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army forwarded this telegram to the Second Theater, which was intercepted and deciphered by the Japanese army.

Terauchi Shouichi still had a glimmer of hope before, he hoped that the troops of the independent mixed second brigade had only suffered a certain blow, but the main force still existed.

However, when he heard Officer Dazuo's report, he knew that the independent mixed second brigade would inevitably be completely annihilated.

"How is this possible, the Honorary Second Division dispatched three regimental troops, how could they completely annihilate the independent mixed second brigade in one day."

"Damn, what are the aviation doing, didn't they support the 2nd Brigade of the Separate Mixed Brigade? What is the 26th Division doing again, are they watching their friendly forces being wiped out! ”

"The total annihilation of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade will have a great impact on our morale, and at the same time, the morale of the Chinese troops will definitely be boosted, what can we do now."

When the staff officers of the headquarters heard about this, they began to talk about it.

The staff officers had stunned expressions on their faces, they would never have dreamed that such a thing would happen.

In their opinion, an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is fully capable of competing with a division of the Chinese troops.

However, they were now shocked that the four infantry brigades that had been independently mixed into the 2nd Brigade had been severely damaged in less than a day, and the brigade headquarters had been eliminated.

"The troops of China should be dispatched with armored troops and cavalry units, Your Excellency Commander, now we need to immediately change our strategy, the first division, the 21st division, and the 114th division must quickly enter Xinxian and Yuanping counties, and divide the troops of the honorary second division of the Eighth Route Army in China into two, so that they cannot cooperate with each other, which is conducive to our later operations."

Ishihara looked at Shouichi Terauchi, and he immediately made a suggestion.

Shouichi Terauchi stared at the map for a while, and he nodded directly and agreed.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of September 19, Terauchi Shou first gave the Japanese army an order to attack.

At half past ten o'clock that night, the Japanese troops in Baoding began to attack and advance towards Laiyuan County and Fuping County respectively, while the troops of the Japanese First Division, the 21st Division, and the 114th Division of the Japanese Army marched rapidly towards Ningwu County, while the troops of the 26th and 109th Divisions of the Japanese Army met together in Dai County, and the troops of the Independent Mixed Third Brigade immediately left Pingding County and went to assemble in the area of Meng County.
