When the personnel of the New Second Brigade heard that there were more than 5,000 people in the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, they could not help but show shocked expressions.

A cavalry wing of the Japanese army was only a few hundred people, but the Fourth Cavalry Brigade had more than 5,000 people, which made the brigade headquarters realize that this Fourth Cavalry Brigade was not simple.

Wang Kunyao's intelligence officers only found out that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade had three cavalry wings, but Wang Kunyao did not know that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was a multi-arm mixed unit.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade was originally a unit subordinate to the Kwantung Army, since the Second Army was assigned to the Central China Dispatch Army, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was assigned to the North China Front Army with the cavalry group, and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was under the jurisdiction of the 25th, 26th, and 72nd Cavalry Wings, and at the same time, the brigade headquarters directly under the machine gun team, rapid-fire artillery squadron, engineer squadron, combat convoy, independent infantry brigade, cavalry artillery Fourth Wing, and other directly subordinate units, the whole brigade and regiment totaled more than 5,000 people.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade is not just a cavalry unit, it is a multi-arm rapid mobile unit, and this unit has strong combat effectiveness.

When Umezu Mijiro formulated the battle plan for the New Second Brigade, he used the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the First Mixed Brigade as the main forces to attack the New Second Brigade.

It was only the New Second Brigade that took action in advance and took the lead in annihilating all the Japanese troops stationed in Xiyang County into the Fifth Brigade, which led to the collapse of Umezu Mijiro's plan, but the Fourth Cavalry Brigade still came to Shijiazhuang, and they will immediately participate in the retaliation against the New Second Brigade.

Wang Kunyao only said that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade had three cavalry wings under its jurisdiction, and the faces of the brigade headquarters personnel all changed.

The 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat is an old opponent of the New 2nd Brigade, and the staff officers of the 1st Mixed Brigade and the Combat Strength Brigade Headquarters all know about it.

A regiment of the New Second Brigade is under pressure in the face of the first brigade of the melee, if the first brigade of the melee combines with the fourth cavalry brigade, then they will definitely be able to eat a regiment of the new second brigade, obviously the Japanese army will definitely not have only the first brigade and the fourth cavalry brigade of the mixed battle.

"Section Chief Wang, you still haven't finished speaking, you can continue." Sun Weiguo glanced back at Wang Kunyao, and he said softly.

"Brigade commander, according to the report of our intelligence officers, after the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was stationed in Shijiazhuang, Shijiazhuang obviously had more artillery and tanks, and the intelligence officers guessed that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade was very likely to have some artillery wings and tank units under its jurisdiction." Wang Kunyao continued to report.

Hearing Wang Kunyao's report, the faces of the brigade personnel changed again.

They looked at Sun Weiguo, and at this time they all wanted to know what Sun Weiguo's plans were.

The Japanese army deployed two cavalry brigades in China, namely the fourth cavalry brigade and the first cavalry brigade, and the fourth cavalry brigade joined the battle sequence of the second army of the Central China Dispatch Army in the later period, but these two cavalry brigades were strengthened with many auxiliary arms, which Sun Weiguo had a general impression.

The Japanese cavalry brigades can take on combat missions alone, they have strong mobility capabilities, and their troops are equipped with tanks, artillery, anti-tank guns and other weapons, these weapons make the cavalry brigades have the ability to fight even when they encounter armored units.

Sun Weiguo was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry brigade, and he knew even more that with the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the First Mixed Brigade participating in the battle, it would be impossible for the New Second Brigade to hold Pingding County.

However, how to evacuate the people of Pingding County, where they want to evacuate, the vicinity of Pingding County is all Japanese-occupied areas, and evacuating the people to the Japanese-occupied areas is simply a sheep into the mouth of a tiger.

And let the people hide in the tunnel, once the Japanese army discovers the tunnel, the consequences are unimaginable.

The tunnel can only provide temporary cover, and the use of the tunnel is carried out according to the region, and in Sun Weiguo's impression, there is a history of people in a village being blocked in the tunnel.

It is very risky to let the people of a county town hide in the tunnels.

"The Japanese army is menacing this time, and they are bound to annihilate our troops. Now we can evacuate, and we can save the strength of the troops, but Pingding County is our base and our foundation, and tens of thousands of people not only support us in the war of resistance, but also provide us with a lot of help. Now that we are gone, the people will definitely become the target of the Japanese army's venting, if I were a civilian, I can dodge the Japanese army's bayonets, let the Japanese army's bayonets pierce into the bodies of other people, but I am a soldier, I dodge the Japanese army's bayonets, the Japanese army's bayonets will pierce into the people's bodies, if the soldiers can't even protect the people, then what is the point of our existence? ”

"The number of Japanese troops will be large, and it will be more than we imagined, and we may all die in battle this time. The headquarters message is an order to evacuate, and we can leave with peace of mind with this message, but our departure means abandoning the people. I, Sun Weiguo, will not let the Japanese bayonets stab into the people's bodies in order to avoid the Japanese bayonets, anyone in the new second brigade can leave, but I Sun Weiguo can't leave, a squad leaves me to command a squad to fight, a platoon stays and I command a platoon to fight, no one stays, I am alone and the little devil is desperate, if the little devil wants to hurt the people, he must step over my corpse. ”

The expression on Sun Weiguo's face became serious, he looked at the personnel of the brigade headquarters, and he said in a serious tone.

The brigade personnel were silent, and at this time they did not know what to say.

Political Commissar Shen Wei walked in from outside, and when she heard Sun Weiguo's words, Shen Weidai's eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Looking at Sun Weiguo, Shen Wei returned to her place, and after sitting on the chair, Shen Wei began to ponder.

"I still have my parents at home, and this is a letter I wrote to my family, and if there are no accidents, this should be my last letter to my family. There are comrades who have left Pingding County, and I hope you can help me deliver this letter to my home. ”

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong took out an envelope, he looked at the brigade personnel, and he whispered.

"Brigade commander, I stay, no matter how many people are left, I will go to the front line to fight." Chief of Staff Qin Xianliang immediately said.

"Brigade commander, I'll stay too, I'll still be able to preside over intelligence work, if there is no intelligence, I can still fight the little devils with guns."

Wang Kunyao, the head of the Intelligence Section, also stood up and said, with a determined expression on his face.

"I am the quartermaster chief, the troops can't stay and fight without me, there is a squad I supply a squad to fight, no one stays, I am an infantry to charge. When I was injured, the people of Pingding County took care of me, and I couldn't leave. Zhao Lin, the section chief of the quartermaster section, also stood up and said.
