The chief of staff of the 21st Division could not answer Washizu Matsudaira's inquiry, and he could only quietly look at Washizu Matsudaira in front of him.

Washizu Matsudaira sighed helplessly, and he looked at the location of Guanshan Town on the map, with a solemn expression on his face.

Before coming to the Chinese battlefield, he thought that the Chinese troops were vulnerable, and he felt that even if the 21st Division was a three-wing formation, he still felt that the 21st Division could defeat many Chinese troops.

It's just that after fighting with the troops of the New Second Brigade, Washizu Matsudaira didn't dare to have such thoughts, and he realized the horror of the New Second Brigade.

"Send a telegram to the commander of the 21st Infantry Regiment, Shenmu Kenichi, and ask him to send reconnaissance troops to check the nearby situation while attacking Guanshan Town, the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment of the New Second Brigade of China have achieved such a record in Zanhuang County, and the Sixth Cavalry Regiment must return to Pingding County, and we must pay attention to preventing the attack of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment of China!"

After Washizu Matsudaira hesitated slightly, he immediately began to give orders.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." The chief of staff immediately replied with a salute, and then he hurried to the radio station and instructed the communications staff officer to start sending electricity to Kenichi Kamiki.

Sun Weiguo's clear-code telegram had a great impact on the Japanese troops in Pingding County, and the Japanese troops were discussing this matter, and they felt that this matter was a bit incredible.

The 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle, the 3rd Brigade of the Mixed Brigade, the 21st Division, and the 114th Division, all of which had already received news of the crushing defeat of the Japanese army in Zanhuang County.

And in Taiyuan City, Shanxi, in the Provisional Headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the First Army, who was in charge of the operation, was discussing the front-line operations with Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the North China Front Command.

The progress made by the various units of the Japanese army was minimal, which neither Umezu Yoshijiro nor Okabe Naosaburo was very satisfied with.

In particular, the 1st Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese East Road Combat Force, which they had high hopes for, did not act for a long time, which made Umezu Mijiro already have some complaints about Kunomura Momoyo and Kojima Yoshizo.

"The 1st Brigade of the Mixed War and the 4th Brigade of the Cavalry haven't even taken action against Donghui Town, what are they doing, Kojima Yoshizo and Kunomura Momoyo are simply disappointing to me, their troops are the most offensive among the departments, but they can't even conquer a Donghui Town now, it's really overwhelming."

"What are the 21st and 114th Divisions doing, a small town has not been taken down for a long time, if the Imperial Army is such a waste as them, then what are we going to do in China!"

Umezu Mijiro looked at the progress of the various ministries marked on the map, and he said with anger on his face and dissatisfaction.

There was no one in the headquarters who could answer Umezu Mijiro's words, and all the personnel were busy with their heads down, and they didn't dare to communicate with Umezu Mijiro at this time.

"Commander, we have just received a clear code message from the New Second Brigade, which is a report message from Kojima Yoshizo of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade."

Major General Shojiro Iida, Chief of Staff of the First Army, walked quickly to Umezu Mijiro, holding two telegrams in his hands, and the expression on his face became extremely solemn.

Umezu Mijiro first took the content of the New Second Brigade message and looked at it, and after seeing the content of the message, Umezu Mijiro's eyes couldn't help but widen.

He suspected that the contents of this telegram were all fictitious by the New Second Brigade, and he couldn't wait to open the telegram of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to check it.

When he saw the message from the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Umezu Mijiro sat down weakly in his chair, and the expression on his face became as pale as paper.

In this operation, the Japanese army mobilized three infantry divisions, two mixed brigades, one mixed brigade, and one cavalry brigade, and the troops directly participating in the operation in Pingding County had the strength of two divisions and three brigades, but these forces still did not make any progress so far.

However, now the troops of Sun Weiguo's new Second Brigade have made unusually great progress, the two cavalry artillery wings of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade are in the point of being surrounded and annihilated, the armored detachment of the First Brigade of the melee has been completely annihilated, the 25 th Cavalry Wing has been completely annihilated, the 26 th Cavalry Wing has suffered heavy losses, and the entire Fourth Cavalry Brigade is currently only more than 1,500 people.

The number of casualties of the Japanese army has exceeded 2,000, and the loss of weapons and equipment is innumerable.

Such a price is unacceptable to Umezu Mijiro, you must know that the First Army did not lose so much weapons and equipment in the entire Hebei and Shanxi operations before.

Naosaburo Okabe took the two messages and looked at them, and when he saw the contents of the messages, his brows furrowed.

Even though he knew that the combat effectiveness of the new 2nd Brigade was very strong, and Naosaburo Okabe knew that there would be some losses in this operation, he never dreamed that the 4th Cavalry Brigade had already suffered heavy losses and the 1st Brigade of the mixed battle had also suffered serious losses without any progress made by the Japanese troops.

As for the new Second Brigade, the casualties are still not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

The 1st Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade were units that they were very optimistic about, and they believed that it was these two brigades that could inflict heavy losses on the New 2nd Brigade.

However, at this time, they knew that the Fourth Cavalry Brigade could not continue to participate in the war, and the troops of the New Second Brigade had recently encircled and annihilated the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade and killed the Lieutenant General Brigade Qin Yashang.

"Your Excellency Commander, we must immediately contact the 110th Division, so that the troops of the 110th Division will immediately go to Zanhuang County, the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment of the New Second Brigade are still in Zanhuang County, and the remnants of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade are still in danger." Shojiro Iida, chief of staff of the First Army, said in an anxious tone.

"The troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment are a mixed force of armored troops and cavalry units, so that the 110th Division will definitely be attacked if it dares to go to Zanhuang County, and I order the rest of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to stick to the county seat of Zanhuang County, and I will immediately contact the North China Front Command and ask them to strengthen the rapid-fire artillery and machine gun units of the 110th Division."

Okabe Naosaburo said in a serious tone, he had read the report of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade in detail, and he had a general understanding of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment.

"Okabe-kun, then I bother you to send a telegram to the North China Front, Chief of Staff, you immediately send a telegram to the 21st Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle, so that they can launch a fierce attack on the troops of the New Second Brigade in Pingding County, and they must make rapid progress, so as to attract the troops of the 6th Cavalry Regiment to return to Pingding County!"

Umezu Mijiro also hurriedly gave the order, and at this time, Umezu Mijiro's face already showed a somewhat gloomy expression.
