Hearing Zhu Jianwei's report, Sun Weiguo's expression on his face became solemn, and he looked at the map that had just been hung on the wall.

Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong and Political Commissar Shen Wei also walked in from outside, Zhao Lerong came directly to Sun Weiguo, he said softly: "Regiment commander, the engineer company has begun to clear the mines buried in the city, this time nineteen people were killed and forty-six were wounded. This group of little devils is not simple, they will even bury mines in the city. ”

"This Japanese army is not simple, they have calculated everything in advance, and we are still a little careless. Reconnaissance company has no news, and in addition, let the communication company send cavalry signal corps, immediately get in touch with the second battalion that went out of the city to pursue the Japanese army, and let them come back quickly. The Japanese must have guessed that we would attack Baode County, and it was inevitable that they would have other deployments. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Zhao Lerong, and he said in a serious tone, at this time, Sun Weiguo's face was obviously a little unhappy.

Zhao Lerong listened to Sun Weiguo's words, and he hurriedly reported the matter of the reconnaissance company, while Zhu Jianwei immediately contacted Luo Hongyi and asked Luo Hongyi to contact the second battalion troops.

The reconnaissance company is still conducting a search throughout the county of Baode County, and there is no news from Ge Haifeng for the time being.

When Sun Weiguo heard that there was no news from the reconnaissance company, he stared at the map and fell into deep thought.

Zhu Jianwei came to Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong, and he reported the second battalion's unauthorized pursuit of Japanese troops.

"Regiment commander, the armored company has already defeated the puppet cavalry troops, and the puppet cavalry troops are currently withdrawing in the direction of the Zhujiachuan River, Yin Jinshan, company commander, please ask whether to continue the pursuit?" At this time, a communication soldier walked in from outside, he came to Sun Weiguo, and asked in an anxious tone.

In particular, when the first regiment of the preparatory regiment rashly came to the Japanese-occupied areas to carry out activities, all the departments had to get in touch with the regimental headquarters and report on the actions of their troops; otherwise, if all the units acted according to their own ideas, the troops would definitely have accidents.

"Order the armored company to give up the pursuit of the puppet cavalry, immediately respond to the second battalion troops, and tell Yin Jinshan that after encountering the second battalion troops, convey my order, and the second battalion troops will quickly withdraw to the county seat, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.

The communication soldier immediately saluted Sun Weiguo, and he walked directly outside.

"Weiguo, are you worried that the Japanese army will gather heavy troops to deal with us in Baode County?" Shen Wei also saw some questions, and she asked softly.

"The Japanese army anticipated our battle plan this time, and we are now in a passive position. This time, the Japanese troops were organized whether they were defending the city or retreating, and I think the Japanese army would definitely have an excellent commander in command of this operation, and Baode County was deliberately taken by the Japanese army. The Japanese army is now retreating, obviously deliberately attracting us to catch up, and if we want to take the initiative, we must break the route set by the Japanese army, and we cannot follow the route they have set for us. Political commissar, I have a hunch that this time the Japanese commanders are not simple, they are very likely to concentrate their forces in Baode County to fight a decisive battle with us, and now we can't continue to act, first stick to the county seat, and wait for the reconnaissance company to figure out the situation in action. ”

Sun Weiguo looked at Shen Wei, and he said with a serious expression, at this time Sun Weiguo had already guessed the general idea of the Japanese army.

Especially when he saw the Zhujiachuan River, Sun Weiguo knew that the Japanese army wanted to fight a decisive battle with him here.

At the same time, on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, the wing headquarters of the 13th Wing of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army had been set up in Qiaotou Town on the north bank.

In order to be able to deal a blow to the first reserve regiment of Sun Weiguo, Kunomura Momoyo transferred all the main forces of the 13th Wing to the territory of Baode County, and he deployed his troops on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, in a vain attempt to have a decisive battle with the first reserve regiment here.

The Japanese army has two infantry artillery squadrons here, a complete infantry brigade, two mountain artillery squadrons, two infantry squadrons, an armored vehicle squadron, and two divisions of the puppet army.

Kunomura Momoyo was no ordinary Japanese officer, he had a deep sense of strategy, and after he came here, he began to deploy his troops.

"Wing Commander, the commander of the 7th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army reported that the cavalry unit of the 1st Reserve Regiment was found on their flank, this cavalry unit has about 100 people, and the 7th Cavalry Division wants to carry out an encirclement and annihilation operation against this Chinese cavalry unit." A Japanese second lieutenant came to Kunomura Momoyo, he looked at Kunomura Momoyo, and said in a solemn tone.

Kunomura Momoyo immediately found the location of the 6th Cavalry Division on the map, the 7th Cavalry Division was deployed on the right side of Qiaotou Town, and more than 100 cavalry troops were responsible for protecting the security of the right side of the position.

"This should be the reconnaissance unit of the 1st Regiment in reserve, telling the 7th Cavalry Division to eat this cavalry unit for me at all costs. In addition, a reconnaissance unit was immediately dispatched to see if the Okamoto brigade had been evacuated as planned. Kunomura Momoyo immediately gave the order, and the expression on his face was very serious.

After the Japanese second lieutenant saluted, he quickly left the wing headquarters and began to convey the order of Momoyo Kunomura.

At this time, on the right side of Qiaotou Town, Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company had begun to assemble here, and at first the reconnaissance company was scattered and began to conduct reconnaissance in the whole county of Baode County, but the reconnaissance company never got any valuable discoveries.

When a squad of the reconnaissance company appeared on the north bank of the Zhujiachuan River, this squad found a large number of Japanese puppet troops, and the news was immediately reported to Ge Haifeng, and Ge Haifeng sent personnel to report the news back to Sun Weiguo on the one hand, and at the same time he gathered his troops and wanted to know the situation here in detail.

However, the actions of the reconnaissance company were discovered by the puppet cavalry, and the two sides began to start a skirmish, even if they did not have an advantage in numbers, but Ge Haifeng had no intention of evacuating, and he commanded the troops to fight flexibly, which brought a lot of blows to the puppet cavalry.

"Company commander, why didn't these two devils chase after them, did they go back to find the little devils."

A squad leader of a reconnaissance company came to Ge Haifeng with a rifle, and said with a smile on his face after watching dozens of puppet cavalry withdraw.

"The number of Japanese puppet troops exceeds 3,000 people, it seems that the little devil is planning to have a decisive battle with our troops here, everyone be careful and continue to carry out reconnaissance." Ge Haifeng held up the binoculars and looked at it, and he immediately gave an order.
