Sun Weiguo's orders began to be issued, and Yin Jinshan's first assault group soon received the order. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the troops of the first assault group had already entered Fuping County through Wutai County, and after receiving Sun Weiguo's order, Yin Jinshan immediately began to get in touch with the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

At 8 o'clock in the evening of 24 September, Xiong Botao, chief of staff of the First Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, came to a small village near Longquanguan Town, where the First Assault Group was located.

After the loss of Fuping County, the main force of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region was assembled in Fuping County, and after the Japanese army left the independent mixed third brigade and the independent mixed fourth brigade to be responsible for containing the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, Commander Nie immediately ordered the troops of the Second Army Division to return to Daixian and other garrisons to cooperate with the troops of the 120th Division and the Honorary Second Division, while the troops of the First Army and the Fourth Army were to stay in Fuping County to contain and attack the Japanese troops in Fuping County, while the troops of the Second Army were active in the area of Baoding and Shijiazhuang to attack the Japanese army's baggage troops.

After learning that Yin Jinshan's No. 1 Assault Group had entered Fuping County to fight, Commander Nie specially sent Xiong Botao, chief of staff of the First Army Division, to Yin Jinshan to give a detailed introduction to the situation in Fuping County.

After Xiong Botao came to Yin Jinshan's regiment headquarters, he first had a polite conversation with Yin Jinshan and others, and then he took the initiative to come to the map here to introduce the situation of the Japanese army in Fuping County in detail.

Fuping County has the Japanese army independently mixed into the third brigade, independent mixed into the fourth brigade, these two mixed brigades a total of more than 10,000 people, as the Japanese 21st Division and the 110th Division began to enter Wutai County to fight, the two devil brigade commanders were afraid that their troops would be completely annihilated, so they gathered the main force of the brigade in the county seat of Fuping County.

In order to contain the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army in Fuping County, the Japanese troops deliberately took great pains to dispatch an ironclad train, and there were railroad tracks in Fuping County, and the two mixed brigades of the Japanese army were swept along the railroad tracks under the cover of the ironclad train.

"The firepower of the little devil's ironclad train is very fierce, and our First Army Division has dispatched artillery and infantry to fight, but the progress is not very large, and our losses are also very large, so at present, the little devil relies on this ironclad train in Fuping County to grasp the initiative, and we are in a passive situation."

When Xiong Botao mentioned the ironclad train, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said with a solemn expression on his face.

The so-called ironclad train is a train with thickened armor and weapons, and this kind of train must rely on rails to travel, but its combat ability is very strong.

Especially in the face of the lack of weapons and ammunition and air superiority of the Chinese troops, it is often necessary to suffer losses when encountering such a big guy.

After the 21st Division and the 110th Division of the North China Front Army entered Wutai County, they immediately dispatched an ironclad train to Fuping County to cooperate with the Japanese troops.

The Japanese army was independently mixed into the 3rd Brigade, and the troops of the 4th Brigade were independently mixed with this ironclad train to sweep and win easily every time.

"Chief of Staff Xiong, please tell us in detail about the rules of the Japanese army's dispatch and the location of the sweep, and please also send personnel to take us to the scene for reconnaissance."

After Yin Jinshan listened to Chief of Staff Xiong Botao's briefing, he asked again in detail.

At 11 o'clock that night, Chen Zhengwei, deputy commander of the Honorary Fourth Regiment, went to the scene with the staff officers of the regimental headquarters to conduct reconnaissance.

At this time, in the county seat of Fuping County, the Japanese army headquarters.

Because the two brigade headquarters of the Japanese army were both in the county seat, the independent mixed third brigade and the independent mixed fourth brigade simply set up the two brigade headquarters together and set up a joint command center.

It's getting late, but the commander of the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade Major General Brigade Toichi Sasaki and the commander of the 4th Independent Brigade Major General Kaoru Kawamura are not resting.

The two of them were enjoying a meal and opened a bottle of sake brought from Japan, and the two of them were discussing their plans for tomorrow's battle while drinking and enjoying their meals.

At present, the Japanese army is concentrating on the troops of the 120th Division, so Ishihara Guaner has already issued an order to the Japanese army in Fuping County through the North China Front Headquarters, asking them to contain the troops of the Eighth Route Army in Fuping County as much as possible.

"The Eighth Route Army is very cunning, they are hiding in nearby villages, and they don't dare to engage the Imperial Army troops at all, Sasaki-kun, I suggest that tomorrow we send the main force to sweep up, I believe that with the cooperation of the ironclad train, it will definitely be able to bring a devastating blow to the troops of the Eighth Route Army."

Kaoru Kawamura took a sip of sake, and he looked at Sasaki Kaori, and said with a solemn expression on his face.

In the past few days, both brigades have sent troops to follow the ironclad train to sweep, but the results have not been very satisfactory.

Kaoru Kawamura felt that with the current strength of the Japanese troops in Fuping County, he should launch a larger sweeping operation plan against the troops of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hecun-kun, Fuping County is the place where the Eighth Route Army has been stationed for a long time, although we have captured the county seat, but most of the villages are still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, if we act rashly, I am afraid that we will be hit, I suggest that we still sweep according to the previous plan, so it will not be wrong."

Sasaki pondered for a while, and he said cautiously.

The unit of the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade was a newly formed unit, and Kaoru Kawamura was a young general who had just been promoted to major general, so he was naturally very active in the battle.

However, Sasaki Zhiichi fought with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the scene of the independent mixed Fifth Brigade being completely annihilated seemed to have happened yesterday.

Especially thinking that Qin Yashang, the commander of the lieutenant general brigade, had his head cut off, Sasaki felt strange in his heart, and he was always cautious when fighting with the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Even if he is not facing the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division now, Sasaki Zhiichi still does not dare to be careless.

"Sasaki-kun, how can you say such a thing, can't the Imperial Army of Japan even solve a group of rabble? Since you are unwilling to fight in the 3rd Brigade and Regiment in an independent manner, then tomorrow our Brigade and Regiment troops will follow the ironclad train to fight, and we will definitely defeat the troops of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Kaoru Kawamura stood up, he huffed, and then he walked outside.

The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was dawn.

The troops of the 120th Division of Yuanping County have broken through, but the troops of the 1st Division and the 114th Division of the Japanese Army have entered Yuanping County, and the troops of these two divisions have also begun to pursue the troops of the 120th Division, and they want to annihilate all the troops of the 120th Division in the shortest possible time.

And here in Fuping County, as soon as the sky dawned, the Japanese army began to assemble into the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Army, and they began to prepare for battle.
