Umezu Mijiro's face became extremely gloomy, and he looked coldly at Linzhang County on the map.

The two divisions of the Imperial Allied Army were about to face the catastrophe of annihilation, and Umezu Yoshijiro was very angry in his heart, after the Japanese invaded China, they captured many towns, but these towns needed a large number of Japanese troops to garrison, and most of the Japanese troops were pinned down.

Especially after the outbreak of the Battle of Wuhan, the North China Front had to send troops to reinforce the Wuhan front line to fight, and the Japanese army was powerless to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area.

If he was facing the general Eighth Route Army troops at this time, even if Umezu Mijiro gave up some of the occupied areas, he would gather Japanese troops to reinforce the Imperial Alliance Army in Linzhang County.

These Imperial Allied Troops were carefully cultivated by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army still counted on these Imperial Allied Troops to help the Japanese army manage the garrison and occupy the area.

But now that Sun Weiguo's troops are fighting in Linzhang County, and the two divisions of the Imperial Allied Army are in danger, Umezu Mijiro knows that if he does not send troops to reinforce them, these two divisions will definitely be completely annihilated, but Umezu Mijiro knows that once he sends troops to Linzhang County, then the Japanese troops sent will definitely be in danger.

Sun Weiguo's troops made Umezu Mijiro very jealous, and in Umezu Mijiro's opinion, against Sun Weiguo's troops, if he did not send a few divisions, I am afraid it would be difficult to win.

However, the current Japanese army in North China is simply unable to draw out a few divisions and regiments to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops.

"Your Excellency Commander, once the Imperial Alliance Army in Linzhang County is completely annihilated, then Linzhang County will fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. The Eighth Route Army's troops expanded rapidly, and once they were allowed to occupy Linzhang County, I am afraid that within a few months, Linzhang County would become their base area. Chief of Staff Shojiro Iida looked at Umezu Mijiro and said.

Umezu Mijiro nodded, staring at the map in a daze, not making any decisions for a long time.

Half an hour passed, and the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Umezu Mijiro, began to give orders, and he ordered the Japanese troops in all units to stay where they were and not to take any action.

Umezu Mijiro's order was to abandon reinforcements to the puppet army in Linzhang County, and they were unable to take any action against Sun Weiguo's troops in Linzhang County.

However, Umezu Mijiro gave an order to the 1st Mixed Brigade stationed in Pyongding Prefecture, and Umezu Mijiro transferred the tank wing, artillery wing, search team, and battle defense artillery of the 1st Mixed Brigade stationed in Pyongding County, and the 6th, 7th, and 8th Infantry Brigades of the Independent Mixed Third Brigade formed the Kuno Detachment, and the Major General Brigade of the First Mixed Brigade Nagano Village Momoyo served as the detachment leader.

The Kuno detachment should immediately set out from the county seat of Pingding County, and the Kuno detachment should take the county seat of Pingding County as the center and launch a blow against Donghui Town, where Sun Weiguo's troops were stationed.

At present, the divisional headquarters of the Sixth Army is stationed in Donghui Town, and the Japanese intelligence organs have already informed the Japanese troops of this.

Umezu Yoshijiro hoped to attract Sun Weiguo's troops who had entered Linzhang County to come back by attacking Sun Weiguo's headquarters in Pingding County.

In the county seat of Pingding County, the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, the 2 major generals and brigade commanders of the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade were all here.

The First Brigade of the Mixed War was originally directly under the North China Front, but after the end of the battle against Sun Weiguo's troops, the First Brigade of the Mixed War was temporarily assigned to the First Army's combat sequence.

After receiving a telegram from the commander of the First Army, Umezu Mijiro, Major General Brigade Commander Naganomura Momoyo did not dare to delay in the slightest, and he immediately invited Major General Brigade Commander Sasaki Toichi, who was independently mixed into the Third Brigade, to his brigade headquarters.

When Sasaki came to the headquarters of the 1st Mixed Brigade in Momoyo Kunomura, the chief of staff of the 1st Mixed Brigade, Chiaki Hattori, immediately briefed Sasaki on the situation of the 6th Army Division.

At present, the first part of the Sixth Army Division is going to Linzhang County to fight, while the rest of the troops are scattered by Sun Weiguo and stationed in various counties where the Sixth Army Division is active.

The troops directly under the brigade headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade and the 7th Battalion of the Independent Regiment were commanded by brigade commander Fu Tao in Yangquan County, Shen Wei, political commissar of the 6th Army Division, and Zhu Jianwei, deputy chief of staff, commanded the 6th Cavalry Regiment in Pingding County, Qin Xianliang, commander of the 1st Advance Regiment, commanded the troops directly under the regimental headquarters and the 8th Battalion in Xiyang County, Wang Tieniu, commander of the unknown regiment, commanded the troops directly under the regimental headquarters and two supplementary battalions in Heshun County, the first battalion of the artillery regiment was stationed in Pingding County, and the second battalion of the artillery regiment was stationed in Xiyang County.

The Japanese intelligence agencies of the Sixth Army Division were aware of these situations, while the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Warfare, as the garrison of Binh Dinh County, had a better understanding of these situations.

Kunomura Momoyo was no ordinary commander, and while his troops were replenishing training, Kunomura Momoyo was constantly sending search teams to conduct reconnaissance and searches.

This time after receiving the order from Umezu Mijiro, Kunomura Momoyo was somewhat excited in his heart, he was going to prepare to compete with Sun Weiguo's troops.

A tank wing has four Type 97 tanks, 24 Type 89 tanks, and 12 Type 95 tanks, and the tank wing is also directly subordinate to an anti-tank gun squadron with four 47MM anti-tank guns.

IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ARTILLERY WING OF THE FIRST BRIGADE AND REGIMENT OF THE MIXED BATTLE, THE ARTILLERY WING HAS 24 TYPE 94 MOUNTAIN GUNS, 12 90 75MM FIELD GUNS, AND 12 96 150MM FIELD ARTILLERY HOWITZERS, AND THE ARTILLERY WING OF THE FIRST BRIGADE AND REGIMENT OF THE MIXED BATTLE HAS FOUR ARTILLERY BRIGADES, WITH A TOTAL OF 44 GUNS.

As a melee unit set up specifically to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops, after the Japanese army in North China suffered a heavy loss from Sun Weiguo's tank troops, they specially set up a combat defense artillery team for the first mixed brigade of Kunomura Momoyo, and the combat defense artillery team has four artillery squadrons, one rapid-fire artillery squadron, and is equipped with eight 37mm anti-tank guns, eight 47mm anti-tank guns, and eight 20mm rapid-fire guns.

The number of artillery pieces of the first brigade in the melee is very large, especially the anti-tank weapons, which shows an overwhelming advantage, and it is precisely because of these artillery pieces that Kunomura Momoyo is full of confidence, and he thinks that if he fights Sun Weiguo again, then he has a great chance of winning.

After Chiaki Hattori introduced the situation of the divisional troops of Sun Weiguo's Sixth Army, he looked at Kunomura Momoyo and Sasaki.

"Sasaki-kun, this time I will personally command the troops to attack Donghui Town, and the county seat will be handed over to you to garrison, I believe that this operation, we will definitely end in victory, if the operation goes well, maybe we can be able to Pingding County all the Eighth Route Army troops!" Kunomura Momoyo looked at Sasaki, and he said with confidence on his face.

"Kuno-kun, please rest assured, I will definitely lead the troops to stick to the county seat, and I will wait for the news of Kuno-kun's victorious return in the county seat." Sasaki said calmly.

Kunomura Momoyo is a celebrity in front of the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, and Sasaki Toichi will naturally not refuse Kunomura Momoyo's arrangement.
