"Yu will serve the country with his flesh and blood, sacrifice his life to resist the Japanese invaders, and vow to fight with the Japanese invaders to the end.

The soldiers read the oath that Sun Weiguo had sworn when the independent regiment was founded, and all four battalions of the first regiment were prepared to cross the Zhujiachuan River.

At 8:45 a.m., the first part of the Japanese Kuno detachment assembled on the west side of Hewan Village, and two infantry brigades and three puppet cavalry divisions began to launch a fierce attack on the position of the first regiment in reserve.

Kunomura Momoyo began to command the troops to fight with the strategy of frontal onslaught, flank attack, and detour from behind.

Six infantry squadrons launched a fierce attack from the front, and with the support of eighteen heavy machine guns, eight tank guns, and four infantry guns, the Japanese attacked fiercely.

The two infantry squadrons, supported by six heavy machine guns, two mountain guns, and two infantry guns, launched an attack on Baijia Village, where the fourth battalion was stationed.

The three cavalry divisions of the puppet army made a detour to attack behind the flank of the reserve 1st Regiment, and at the same time carried out a sweep of the troops crossing the river.

The most important point is that after Kunomura Momoyo came to the front and observed the situation of the Chinese troops, he immediately gave an order to the Japanese troops in the town of Qiaotou, and he asked the chief of staff of the 13th Wing to immediately lead the Saito Brigade to cross the Zhujiachuan River and launch a fierce attack on the Chinese troops who did not cross the river from the flank.

The river defense positions set up by the Japanese army were completely abandoned by Kunomura Momoyo, and I have to admit that Kunomura Momoyo seized the weakness of the Chinese troops.

Hequ County, the headquarters of the Left Route Army, Sun Weiguo looked at the telegram sent by Vice President Peng, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Vice President Peng issued a specific combat order to Sun Weiguo, Vice President Peng asked Sun Weiguo to abandon Hequ County, with the first independent regiment and the first reserve regiment stationed in Baode County, the first independent detachment went deep behind the enemy to carry out guerrilla attacks, the third cavalry regiment and the armored company were deployed on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River for mobile operations, and the sixth garrison regiment served as the general reserve of the left route army.

With the same opinion as Division Commander He, Vice President Peng also thought that it was a mature idea to have a decisive battle with the Japanese army at present, but Vice President Peng did not know that the battle between the two sides had begun.

The Japanese cavalry wing led the covering field artillery brigade in Iwata Fumizo to quickly march towards Baode County, and at the same time, the third and fourth squadrons of the third brigade of the 13th wing of the Japanese army began to enter the Wuzhai County to fight, and it seemed that they had the intention of threatening the safety of the flank of the 120th Division.

Sun Weiguo learned all about these situations through Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company, and he also knew that the decisive battle between the Left Route Army and the Japanese army had begun, and it was too late to say anything.

On the east side of Hequ County is bordered by the northernmost village in Wuzhai County, and the two squadrons of the Japanese army are advancing towards Wuzhai County, which can be described as a slap in the face to Sun Weiguo.

The Left Route Army has the task of covering the flank security of the 120th Division and containing the Japanese troops, these two squadrons are now running to Wuzhai County, directly threatening the safety of the 359th Brigade of the 120th Division Middle Route Army.

After learning about this situation, Sun Weiguo did not panic, he thought about it carefully.

Sun Weiguo didn't know that this was a problem that Kunomura Momoyo assigned to Sun Weiguo, and Kunomura Momoyo knew that Sun Weiguo's mobile troops were very limited, so he deliberately asked Iwata Fumozo to arrange such a trick.

At present, the reconnaissance company has only more than 70 combat troops, and letting the reconnaissance company go to Wuzhai County alone to catch up with the two Japanese squadrons to fight, obviously does not occupy any advantage, and it is very likely that the reconnaissance company will be eaten; on the contrary, if Sun Weiguo lets the third cavalry regiment attack, then the Japanese cavalry wing will slip to Baode County under Sun Weiguo's nose.

If Sun Weiguo gathers mobile troops to deal with the Japanese cavalry company, those two infantry squadrons will go deep into Wuzhai County and pose a threat to the 120th Division's Middle Route Army, and perhaps these two infantry squadrons will cooperate with the Japanese troops in Wuzhai County to flank the 359th Brigade and create a favorable situation for the Japanese army.

If Sun Weiguo thinks that these two squadrons will not pose any threat to the Central Route Army, it is a big mistake, on the battlefield, a soldier, a bullet, an artillery, a light and heavy machine gun, will change the entire battle situation, crushing the opponent, maybe just an insignificant feather.

"Sir Sun, the Japanese army began to storm our guard position, and the little devil fought very fiercely." At this time, Qian Zhongming, the commander of the First Independent Regiment, walked in from outside and reported.

"Yin Jinshan, Ge Haifeng, Chu Hongwei, you immediately set off and go to Wuzhai County to completely annihilate the two squadrons of the Japanese army that entered Wuzhai County from Hequ County."

Sun Weiguo immediately issued an order, Sun Weiguo wanted to ensure the completion of the task of the Left Route Army, he chose to let go of the Japanese cavalry wing, and annihilated the two squadrons of the Japanese army that went deep into Wuzhai County.

"Commander Qian, the county seat must be defended, I will advance and retreat with you here, you are all happy to defend the county seat, and if you can't defend the county seat, here is our grave."

Sun Weiguo once again gave the battle order to Qian Zhongming, the commander of the First Independent Regiment, and the expression on Sun Weiguo's face changed slightly at this time, but others couldn't see it.

The officers received orders from Sun Weiguo, they gave Sun Weiguo assurances, and after saluting, they left the command headquarters and began to carry out the operation.

Eight tanks and six armored vehicles of the armored company began to move, and under their guidance, thousands of cavalry began to advance towards Wuzhai County.

Nishina Furuya was a machine gun shooter in the 4th Squadron of the 1st Reserve Brigade of the Japanese Army, and he was a Japanese army reserve.

The Japanese Army summoned him from his home to the army with a postcard, thus stepping on the battlefield to China.

At first, Nishina Furuya was very disgusted to come to China, he missed his wife at home, missed the delicious food at home, but when he came to China, Nishina Furuya felt that he had come to the treasure, and when he was stationed in Chahar, Nishina Furuya followed the army to loot many villages, and also enjoyed many beautiful flower girls.

He was fascinated by the life here, and he felt that the Chinese people were like a bunch of ants at their kneading.

"Team Leader Heichuan, this time we conquer Hequ County, will the captain let us rob in the county, I can't wait to enter the county."

Nishina Furuya looked at Kurokawa, the leader of the machine gun team, who was holding a telescope to observe, and asked softly, with an expectant expression on his face.
