Shigeharu Suematsu did not expect the complete annihilation of the independent garrison, and he obviously did not have any warning of such an outcome.

Hearing that Chief of Staff Saburo Yoshida was sure that the independent garrison had been wiped out, Shigeharu Suematsu looked at the map, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the troops of the Eighth Route Army have completely annihilated the independent garrison, and judging from the current situation, it is very likely that their main force is in this area. Now we should immediately shrink our forces to prevent the troops of the Eighth Route Army from launching a surprise attack on us. ”

After confirming that the independent garrison had been completely wiped out, the commander of the 127th Brigade Major General Akiyama Kozaburo looked at Shigeharu Suematsu, and he said a little nervously.

The independent garrison has more than 5,000 people, and is equipped with artillery and armored troops, and the troops of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army will completely annihilate the independent garrison in a short period of time, which makes Akiyama Kozaburo feel that the main force of the Honorary Second Division should be nearby, and he wants to cancel the attack immediately, and first gather the main forces of the 114th Division together, so as not to be defeated by the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

"Your Excellency the division commander, according to the explanations of the defeated soldiers, the dispatch of the Chinese troops is an armored force, and they also encountered infantry when passing through Baijiazhuang Town, judging from the current situation, the second division of honor has deployed a certain number of troops nearby, even if it is not their main force, but this force can still pose a threat to us."

After the chief of staff of the 114th Division, Saburo Yoshida, saw Shigeharu Suematsu looking at him inquiringly, and Saburo Yoshida immediately made a report.

The rout of the independent garrison knew about the situation on the front line, and they also knew that there were many infantry stationed in Baijiazhuang Town.

But they didn't know that Baijiazhuang Town was stationed in the fifth detachment of the 120th Division, although this force had more than 2,000 people, but in terms of weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness, it could not be compared with the troops of the second division of honor, but the defeated soldiers did not know this.

According to the report of the defeated soldiers, Yoshida Saburo judged that part of the troops of the Honor 2nd Division were stationed here, and he was also worried that if the 127th Brigade continued to attack the position of the Honor 1st Regiment in Gaohongkou Township, maybe the armored troops and infantry of the annihilated Japanese independent garrison would appear here and attack the 127th Brigade.

"The troops temporarily withdrew to Mayu Village, began to garrison Mayu Village as the center, and immediately reported the situation here to the North China Front Army Headquarters."

After Shigeharu Suematsu was silent for a long time, he looked at the chief of staff, Saburo Yoshida, and he immediately began to give orders.

The independent garrison was completely annihilated, and the 114th Division was obviously alone in the southern part of Wutai County, and they did not have an independent garrison to cooperate with the battle, and Shigeharu Suematsu felt that his division was somewhat threatened.

The 114th Division is an ad hoc division, with nearly 20,000 people in the whole division, but against the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division, Shigeji Suematsu is not too sure.

With the presence of the Tahara Kokai Independent Garrison, Shigeharu Suematsu felt that his division could still take care of it, but the independent garrison was completely annihilated, and Shigeharu Suematsu felt that his division had no support.

Especially after the troops of the Honor 2nd Division completely annihilated the independent garrison, Shigeharu Suematsu felt great pressure.

The troops of the 114th Division immediately began to shrink, and they began to defend themselves with Mayu Village as the center.

After Shigeharu Suematsu made this decision, the two brigade commanders of Major General Kozaburo Akiyama and Obaofu immediately left the division headquarters.

After Kozaburo Akiyama and Obaov left the division headquarters, the two took out cigarettes and lit them, and they took a puff at the same time.

They looked at each other, and the two men had different expressions on their faces.

"Akiyama-kun, it seems that the troops of the Honorary Second Division are going to fall into the encirclement of several of our divisions, do you think we are sure that we will be able to annihilate them all this time!"

Obaofu looked at Kozaburo Akiyama, he looked at the division headquarters again, and then asked softly.

The total annihilation of the Tahara Kokai Independent Garrison brought a great shock to Obaof, and he vaguely realized that this time the battle against the troops of the Honor Second Division was probably not as simple as he imagined.

"The troops of the Honorary Second Division are good at defensive operations, last time they were stunned that one of their regimental troops was able to resist one of our divisions and regimental troops, and now there is the main force of the Honorary Second Division, even if we have an absolute advantage now, but if we want to annihilate them, we will definitely have to pay a heavy price."

Kozaburo Akiyama had a heavy expression on his face, and he threw the cigarette butt directly on the ground, and he said in a firm tone.

He knew that with the Japanese army's current strength assembled in Wutai County, there would definitely be a chance of victory to annihilate the Honorary Second Division, but Akiyama Kozaburo knew that even if the Japanese troops completely annihilated the Honorary Second Division, the number of casualties of the Japanese troops would definitely be very large, and Akiyama Kozaburo was very clear about this.

Obaov looked at Kozaburo Akiyama again, he had some thoughts in his heart, he felt that if this was the case, then he felt that there was no need for the troops of the 114th Division to rush to the defense depth of Wutai County, and he felt that if they went to the defense depth of Wutai County too early, the troops of the 114th Division would definitely become the focus of the attack of the Honorary Second Division.

On the contrary, if the 114th Division deliberately slows down, then it will be able to win without too many casualties when the troops of the 1st Division and the Honorable Second Division are fighting first, and the troops of the 114th Division are advancing.

The two brigade commanders, Major General Kozaburo Akiyama and Obaof, couldn't help but glance at each other, they understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and they began to return to their units.

Through the fact that the independent garrison was completely annihilated by the troops of the Honorary Second Division, they realized that it was not a simple matter to completely annihilate the troops of the Honorary Second Division.

They didn't want their troops to enter the in-depth defense area of Wutai County in advance, they wanted other divisions to compete with the Honorary Second Division first, and they were going to fight against the troops of the Honorary Second Division, so that they would definitely be able to achieve the final victory.

Beiping, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, the night was deep, Beiping had become silent, and there was no sound around.

Here in the headquarters, the lights were bright, and the supreme commander of the Japanese Front in North China, Shouichi Terauchi, had already fallen asleep, he was old after all.

At present, the work of the headquarters is in charge of two people: Yamashita Fumi, chief of staff of the North China Front, and Ishihara Waner, deputy chief of staff of the Kwantung Army.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the 114th Division has sent an urgent telegram, the independent garrison is besieged by the troops of the Honorary Second Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the independent garrison is currently suffering heavy casualties, and they are able to fight less than five hundred." At this time, Muto Zhang, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Command, immediately came to Yamashita Fengwen with a telegram and said with a solemn expression.
