Sun Weiguo began to readjust his deployment, he was ready to fight the 21st Division first, and then the 1st Brigade and Regiment in the melee, Sun Weiguo wanted to keep Pingding County.

At this time, in the county seat of Yangquan County, the troops of the Second Army Division of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, commander of the Gui Detachment, had already begun to move, and more than 3,000 troops began to attack the county seat.

There were not many personnel left in the county town of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, but this group of devil soldiers relied on heavy weapons and strong fortifications to resist the attack of the Second Army Division of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.

However, the troops of the commander of the Katsura detachment put a lot of pressure on the Japanese troops in the county, and the Japanese troops defending the city had begun to send a telegram to the commander of the 21st Division, Washizu Matsudaira, for help.

At this time, the 62nd Wing of the 21st Division had entered Pingding County, and the division commander Washizu Matsuhei commanded the 2nd Wing, the 82nd Wing, the Divisional Artillery Wing, the Heavy Infantry Wing, and the Engineer Wing followed, and this time the main forces of the 21st Division were all dispatched.

After Washizu Matsuhei received the news that the troops of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade had been completely annihilated and that Qin Yashang, the commander of the Lieutenant General Brigade, had been captured alive, he was extremely shocked, and now he just wanted to complete the task assigned by the First Army Headquarters and quickly rush to Pingding County to cooperate with the First Brigade to capture Pingding County.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the troops of the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade have been completely annihilated, the troops of the New Second Brigade are now in a state of mobility, and the main forces of our division and regiment have all gone to Pingding County, Yuci County, Shouyang County, and Yangquan County, and the three county towns have become empty, if the troops of the New Second Brigade take the opportunity to capture these three county towns, what should we do?"

Chief of Staff Osaku came to Washizu Matsudaira, and he said in a solemn tone.

After learning that Qin Yashang's troops had been completely annihilated, the chief of staff of the 21st Division always felt that his troops would become the target of the new Second Brigade's next attack.

Especially now that only a small number of troops have been left in the three county towns, the chief of staff of Dazuo is very worried that these three county towns will be captured by the new Second Brigade.

"The Fifth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade has been completely annihilated, and our division still has the responsibility of ineffective reinforcements, if we can't even complete the combat mission of capturing Pingding County this time, we will have no way to explain it to the commander, and all the main forces of the division and regiment will go to Pingding County, and we will be together with the First Brigade of the Mixed Battle, even if the troops of the New Second Brigade capture Yangquan County at that time, we can return to Yangquan County with the First Brigade of the Mixed Battle."

Washizu Matsudaira said in a serious tone, with the fifth brigade of the mixed group being completely annihilated, Washizu Matsudaira had a sense of crisis, he felt that it was safest to be close to the first brigade of the melee now, after all, the first brigade of the melee had strong combat effectiveness.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the defenders of Yangquan County sent a telegram that Yangquan County was attacked by the local troops of Zhina, although they held the county seat, but the garrison troops suffered a lot of casualties, and they hope that the main force of our division can quickly return to Yangquan County."

A staff officer came to Washizu Matsudaira, and with a solemn expression on his face, he hurriedly reported.

After hearing this staff officer's report, Washizu Matsudaira's brows furrowed tightly, and what he feared most had happened.

Now the main force of the 21st Division will soon enter Pingding County, but the county seat of Yangquan County has been attacked, and Washizu Matsudaira does not know whether to return for a while.

"Your Excellency the division commander, let's immediately lead the main force of the division back to Yangqu County, if Yangquan County is captured, the consequences will be unimaginable." said the chief of staff of the division.

Washizu Matsudaira stopped advancing, and the accompanying staff officer immediately threw the map on the ground, and Washizu Matsudaira looked at the map, and he fell into deep thought.

"Chief of Staff, if we send an infantry wing back to help, we will reduce the combat strength of an infantry wing, and we will be at a disadvantage in the face of the attack of the new second brigade, but if our main force comes back, the 62nd wing that entered Pingding County will become a lone army, and once they are besieged by the new second brigade, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Washizu Matsudaira pointed to Yangquan County and Pingding County on the map, and he said in a dilemma.

With the annihilation of the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, Washizu Matsudaira was inevitably afraid in his heart, he was worried that the 21st Division would become the next unit to be encircled and annihilated.

The 21st Division is a newly established unit, and although the unit has transferred most of the officers with combat experience to serve as unit commanders, the unit has not yet passed the run-in period.

With such a force fighting with an elite like the New Second Brigade, Washizu Matsudaira has no chance of winning.

"Your Excellency the division commander, if we don't return to Yangquan County, I'm afraid that Yangquan County is very likely to be captured by the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, if Yangquan County is captured, we will have no place to stand, even if we conquer Pingding County, the headquarters will still hold us responsible." The chief of staff said with a serious expression.

Hearing what the chief of staff said, Washzu Matsudaira nodded thoughtfully.

The commander of the 21st Division, Washizu Matsudaira, was extremely embarrassed, and he did not know whether he should continue to march towards Pingding County or return to Yangquan County.

At the same time in the town of Baijing, the regimental headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the melee.

The engineer corps directly under the brigade headquarters has been dispatched, and if the first brigade wants to march, they need engineers to build the road, which will take time.

Now that the troops of the 5th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade have been completely annihilated, there is no need for the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Brigade to accelerate its advance, they only need to capture Binh Dinh County.

Kunomura Momoyo was sure of his troops, and he believed that the problem of capturing Binh Dinh County was not very big.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we captured a civilian, this should be the local armed force of the Eighth Route Army, although he was wearing civilian clothing, but we saw him carrying a Type 38 rifle, when we captured him, he was burying mines on the road, this is the weapon we captured."

At this time, a second lieutenant with four Japanese soldiers escorted a middle-aged man to the brigade headquarters, and the second lieutenant made a report.

Kunomura Momoyo's gaze shifted to the middle-aged man, who was about forty years old, his clothes were shabby, and there was a lot of dust on his clothes, but the expression on the middle-aged man's face was calm, as if he didn't realize how much danger he was about to encounter.

"Fellow, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, you tell me, where the rest of the people have gone, and you should know the location of the nearby mines, as long as you tell us these things, not only will we not hurt you, but we will also reward you heavily."

A faint smile appeared on the face of Momoyo Kunomura, he looked at the middle-aged man and said softly and comfortingly.

"Little devil, I know where the people have gone, and I also know the location of the mine, but if you want me to speak, you don't dream."

The middle-aged man looked at Momoyo Kunomura, and he said in a disdainful tone.
