Chapter 898: Excellent Combat

The Fifth Detachment and the three county brigades besieged by the First Division of the Japanese Army were all friendly troops of the 120th Division and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Fang Chaoqun and Qin Xianliang could not watch them being completely annihilated.

After some battles, the troops of the Unknown Regiment and the Honorary First Regiment have suffered casualties of varying degrees, especially the Unknown Regiment, which has suffered about 1,000 casualties in the whole regiment at present, and only has more than 1,000 combat strength.

At two o'clock in the morning, the troops of the Unknown Regiment and the Honorary First Regiment attacked the troops of the Japanese First Division from the west and east respectively, but soon after the attack of these two regiments, the troops of the Japanese 114th Division began to attack rapidly.

The 114th Brigade of the 127th Division attacked the Unknown Regiment, and the 128th Brigade attacked the troops of the 1st Honorable Regiment.

The Japanese troops withstood a casualty blow, but the Japanese First Division was a permanent division with a total strength of nearly 30,000, while the 114th Division was an ad hoc division with a total strength of nearly 20,000.

Moreover, these two divisions have three artillery wings, of which the Seventh Wing of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery is fully equipped with 48 large-caliber heavy guns.

In this way, when the troops are engaged in battle with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, they will naturally be able to occupy an absolute advantage.

The Honorary First Regiment is the main force of the Honorary Second Division, but they are still under pressure to face the attack of a Japanese brigade, not to mention that the troops have suffered casualties after repeated battles, and the physical strength of the officers and soldiers has declined.

On the contrary, after the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division of the Japanese Army met in Baijiazhuang Town, they had a short rest and recuperation, and the two divisions and devil soldiers joined the division, and their morale was naturally high.

And with Ishihara Waner personally coming to command the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division, these devil soldiers are naturally full of confidence.

They felt that with a genius strategist like Ishihara Waner personally commanding the battle, they would definitely be able to win.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Unknown Regiment reached more than 500, but a company of the 9th Battalion of the Unknown Regiment forced a road from the junction of the 65th Wing and the 102nd Wing of the 127th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The company of the 9th Battalion quickly rushed towards the Weiyuan Heights, they tore a gap again from the Japanese 15th Brigade by mistake, and the three county brigades besieged by the Japanese 15th Brigade had already paid hundreds of casualties at this time, and after they were received, they quickly broke through from the breakthrough, but the Japanese troops reacted quickly, and the two brigades of the 15th Brigade immediately began to pursue.

A company of the 9th Battalion broke through to cover the withdrawal of friendly troops, and they volunteered to stay behind to take charge of the break.

When more than 900 men from the three county brigades began to evacuate to the periphery, the company withstood the attack of the two infantry battalions of the 15th Brigade of the Japanese army, and the fierce battle lasted until 2:45, and all the more than 100 people of this company were killed.

At 3 o'clock in the morning of 24 September, the unknown regiment fought fiercely with the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army for more than an hour.

But even with such huge casualties, none of the officers and soldiers of the Unknown Regiment evacuated without authorization, they were always attacking, and none of the soldiers were shot in the back, and it was the fearless sacrifice spirit of the Unknown Regiment that the troops of the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army were firmly contained.

The situation on the side of the Honor First Regiment is very difficult, the Honor First Regiment is the main force of the Honor and the Second Division, although they have casualties, but their elite still exists, after the Honor First Regiment troops fought with the 128 Brigade of the Japanese 114th Division, the 128 Brigade realized that this force was different, and they immediately began to ask for help from the division headquarters.

The commander of the 114th Division, Shigeharu Suematsu, immediately dispatched most of the artillery wing and most of the engineer wing to the 128th Brigade, and Shigeharu Suematsu also transferred four 105mm cannons from the 7th Wing of the Independent Field Heavy Artillery to assist in the operation.

The troops of the Honor First Regiment are facing more than 8,000 devil soldiers, no matter how the troops of the Honor First Regiment attack, the Japanese army will always hold their positions, and at the same time, they will continue to send troops to carry out flank attacks to attack the troops of the Honor First Regiment.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the 1st Regiment of Honor suffered more than 500 casualties, and they did not make any progress.

Qin Xian said swear words in the regiment headquarters, and he personally came to the front line to lead the troops to attack.

However, the Japanese had dozens of artillery pieces to assist in the battle, and the attack of the 1st Regiment of Honor did not make any progress.

And here in Baijiazhuang Town, the headquarters of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army and the headquarters of the 114th Division are set up here.

At this time, the commander of the 1st Division, Naosaburo Okabe, and the commander of the 114th Division, Shigeharu Suematsu, were both here at the headquarters of the 1st Division, while Ishihara Waner was yawning, and he was lying on the table with a sleepy expression on his face.

Even though the Japanese army in North China lost more than 20,000 devil soldiers, Ishihara felt that this was not his responsibility at all.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance troops, at present, the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the west and south of Wutai County have begun to assemble near the Weiyanjian Heights, and the number of troops in China is about 6,000 people, of which there are more than 1,500 people who are besieged by the First Division, and they are stationed on the Weiyanjian Heights, and there are more than 3,000 people in the 127th Brigade of the 114th Division, but they are currently being suppressed by us, and the troops of the 15th Brigade have already launched a detour against them, and I believe that they will soon be able to completely surround them."

The chief of staff of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army immediately came to Okabe Naosaburo, and after saluting Okabe Naosaburo, he quickly reported the situation.

"The 127th Brigade is facing the troops of the Honorary Second Division, but the 128th Brigade is facing the main force of the Honorary Second Division, the commander of the Okabe Division, and now the troops of the First Brigade should quickly encircle and annihilate the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the Weiyanjian Heights, and then cooperate with the 128th Brigade to eliminate the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and after solving these Eighth Route Army troops, the troops of the First Division and the 114th Division will be able to directly approach the county seat of Wutai County, and they will not encounter any troops of the Zhina on the road.

The commander of the Okabe Division, the First Division and the 114th Division have more than 50,000 troops, if you can't even solve these six or seven thousand troops of the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid you will lose face to the Imperial Army, you must know that when fighting in the Northeast, the Kwantung Army only had more than 10,000 people, and the well-armed Northeast Army was defeated. If one division and one regimental unit deals with the second division and one regimental unit, so if it can't win, I think the Imperial Army really has to reflect and reflect. ”

At this moment, Ishihara Waner, who seemed to be asleep on the table, stood up, and he said with a solemn expression.
