The 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Jin Sui Army and the 1st Independent Regiment stationed in the vicinity of Loufan County and Lan County began to receive orders, and the two units began to send heralds to get in touch with Sun Weiguo, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment is currently serving as the commander of Chu Hongwei, and the commander of the 1st Independent Regiment is Qian Zhongming.

Chu Hongwei was previously the battalion commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, and after the end of the battle in Loufan County, Chu Hongwei was appointed as the colonel commander of the Third Cavalry Regiment, and the Third Cavalry Regiment was also replenished with a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the Third Cavalry Regiment now has more than 1,300 people.

Qian Zhongming of the First Independent Regiment was promoted to deputy brigade commander of the First Independent Brigade and concurrently the colonel of the First Independent Regiment after the end of the battle in Loufan County, and the First Independent Regiment was also leisurely replenished after the war, especially the artillery company had six 75MM mountain guns, and each battalion was also supplemented with 82MM mortars, and the whole regiment now has more than 2,200 people.

There are more than 3,000 people in the two regiments, this time Yan Xishan has invested enough, of course, he doesn't really want to help the Eighth Route Army troops to resist the war, Yan Xishan just wants to use the Eighth Route Army troops, so as to increase his merits to his Jin Sui Army.

Sun Weiguo is also clear about this, but Sun Weiguo welcomes the arrival of the two regiment leaders, Chu Hongwei and Qian Zhongming.

These two officers, Sun Weiguo, had contact with each other when they were fighting in the defense of Loufan County, and he also knew that they were sincere in resisting Japan, and with them coming to Baode County to participate in the war, Sun Weiguo could fight against the Japanese army freely.

At present, Sun Weiguo, as the commander of the Left Route Army, commands a total of four regiments and one independent detachment, the four regiments are the first reserve regiment, the sixth garrison regiment, the third cavalry regiment, the first independent regiment, and one independent detachment is the independent first detachment directly under the headquarters of the 120th Division.

Now that Sun Weiguo has enough troops in his hands, he already has ideas in his heart about many plans that Sun Weiguo did not dare to implement before.

Baode County, in the regimental headquarters of the first regiment.

Sun Weiguo stood in front of the map, looking at the map hanging on the wall, Sun Weiguo fell into deep thought.

Chief of Staff Zhu Jianwei, Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, and Political Commissar Shen Wei stood behind Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo pondered, they did not speak, but quietly looked at the map.

"Political commissar, chief of staff, now we have four regiments and one detachment in our hands, and our total strength is close to 10,000, now don't say that we can contain the Japanese troops in Hequ County and Biguan County, even if we eat them in one go, there is no problem."

Sun Weiguo looked back at Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong, a smile appeared on his face, and his tone was also excited.

"Defend the country, the head of Chu and the head of the Jin Sui Army are old acquaintances, I can see that they are sincerely anti-Japanese, with these two regiments, we can take the initiative to attack, but the Japanese troops are still stationed on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, and they seem to plan to defend on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River."

Shen Wei pointed to Qiaotou Town at the location of the Zhujiachuan River on the map, and she whispered that the Japanese army clearly wanted to continue the decisive battle with the first reserve regiment here in the Zhujiachuan River.

"Regiment commander, now that we have enough troops, can we concentrate our troops to eat the Japanese troops stationed on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River first. Our 1st Regiment could attack from the front, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 1st Regiment attacked from the flank, the 1st Independent Detachment went to Hequ County to cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Biguan County and Baode County, and the troops of the 6th Garrison Regiment pinned down the 69th Wing of the Japanese Army in Fugu County. ”

Zhao Lerong pointed to the location on the map, and he expressed his opinion, Zhao Lerong is Sun Weiguo's optimistic staff officer.

After getting the troops of the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army to join the battle sequence of the Left Route Army, Zhao Lerong immediately drew up a battle plan.

The Japanese puppet army is stationed on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, Zhao Lerong's plan is to annihilate the Japanese puppet army stationed on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River.

"Chief of Staff, let the troops of the 1st Independent Regiment make a feint attack on the front, and we will prepare the 1st Regiment and the 3rd Cavalry Regiment to attack from the flank, so that the effect is better, and we can secretly transfer the 1st Independent Regiment to the county seat, and we will quietly move to the outer line to fight." Shen Wei also made suggestions.

Zhao Lerong nodded, he agreed very much, after all, the flank attack is the most important, let the first regiment of the reserve attack the Japanese puppet army on the flank, so that it can exert strong combat power.

Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong had the same opinion, and the two of them looked at Sun Weiguo, waiting for Sun Weiguo's answer.

"Before, I was anxious to eat the Japanese puppet army troops in Baode County, mainly because I was worried that they would divide their troops to contain us, and then go to reinforce the Japanese army in Wuzhai County, which would put pressure on the other brother troops of the 120th Division, but now we have enough troops at our disposal, and we are sure to contain them. Moreover, we can mobilize the Japanese army, and if we go to fight the Japanese troops, it is inevitable that we will suffer some losses. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Zhao Lerong and Shen Wei, he said with a smile, Obviously, now Sun Weiguo is not very interested in encircling and annihilating the Japanese puppet army in Baode County.

Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Sun Weiguo to change his mind again now, but they were used to it, Sun Weiguo has never been the kind of stubborn officer, he will make strong deployments according to the form on the battlefield, and formulate a battle plan that is most in line with the battlefield.

Zhao Lerong wanted to say something, but as soon as his words reached his lips, a terrible alarm sounded outside.

"Air attack, the Japanese plane is coming, everyone hides and quickly takes the regimental leaders into the underground bunker." The voice of Yue Wu, the commander of the guard company, began to sound.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Wu came to the regiment headquarters with the soldiers of the guard company, and the soldiers quickly took Sun Weiguo to the underground bunker.

The Japanese army dispatched 12 bombers to fly over Baode County, and one aerial bomb after another began to drop them on Baode County, and the explosions sounded one after another.

This is the Japanese 13th Wing Naganomura Momoyo from the 26th Division commander Harem Jun here to obtain aircraft reinforcements, 12 bombers immediately dispatched to Baode County, the Japanese air force began to carpet bomb Baode County, one after another aerial bombs continued to fall on the ground, houses were blown up, gunpowder smoke and flames appeared, Baode County instantly like a hell on earth.

Even if it is the first regiment of the reserve, it is now not equipped with special air defense weapons, in the face of the Japanese air raid, the soldiers of the first regiment of the reserve can only dodge, fortunately, Sun Weiguo is prepared in advance, and the soldiers have dug underground bunkers in the city.

When the terrible sirens began to sound, the soldiers began to lead the civilians into underground bunkers to escape the air raids of Japanese planes.
