Chapter 839: The cemetery is destroyed

The troops of the Honorary Second Division were quickly stationed in Wutai County, which made Terauchi Shouichi a little panicked, but Ishihara felt that this was a good opportunity.

You must know that the Honorary Second Division is stationed in Pingding County, so the 21st Division, the 114th Division, the Independent Garrison, and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade will be stationed nearby, and the Honorary Second Division will be on guard, and even the First Division of the North China Front Army seconded from the Kwantung Army will go to the area of Jingcheng County to garrison.

However, now that the Honorary Second Division is stationed in Wutai County, these Japanese troops of the Honorary Second Division can be mobilized one after another, which is an opportunity for the Japanese army.

Ishihara took the red and blue pencils and began to work on the map, and he drew the lines one by one, and Ishihara was extremely capable, and he completed the homework on the map in a short time.

This time, in order to destroy the base area of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and completely annihilate the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Japanese army dispatched the independent mixed Fourth Brigade, the 110th Division, the 109th Division, the 26th Division, and the Independent Mixed Second Brigade.

Originally, according to the Ishihara plan, the 110th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade attacked westward from Baoxiang, the 26th Division, the 109th Division, and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade attacked eastward from Xinxian, and the troops of the 3rd Division and 2 brigades attacked the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region from east to west.

Now that the troops of the Honorary Second Division are stationed in Wutai County, Ishihara Waner intends to concentrate his superior forces and first eat the Honorary Second Division stationed in Wutai County.

The 110th Division and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade continued to attack Laiyuan County, Fuping County, while the 109th Division, the 26th Division, and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade were assembled in Dai County and Yuanping County and were on standby from the northwest of Wutai County.

The 21st Division and the 114th Division were stationed in Pingshan County, Hebei Province along Meng County, Shanxi Province, and cooperated with the 110th Division to form the Fourth Brigade to conquer Fuping County and stand by from the east of Wutai County.

According to the 100,000 yuan battle plan, the 1st Division, the 21st Division, the 26th Division, the 109th Division, the 114th Division, the Independent Garrison, and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade will be engaged in the operation against the Honorary Second Division of Wutai County.

The 110th Division and the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade were to contain the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

100,000 yuan is intended to eat the troops of Sun Weiguo's Honorary Second Division first, and then deal with the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

Regarding Ishihara's battle plan, Terauchi Shouichi did not hesitate, he directly agreed.

At 5 p.m. on 18 September, 24 Japanese light bombers flew over Wutai County, and they began to bomb the troops of the marching Honorable Second Division.

However, because the troops of the Honorary Second Division had perfect early warning preparations, the troops had already begun to complete the evacuation as soon as the Japanese bombers appeared, so the Japanese bombing effect was not great.

The Chinese troops did not have air supremacy, and the Honorary Second Division had an armored regiment, and Sun Weiguo was very sensitive to Japanese air raids.

He had already given orders to the Intelligence Section and the Operations Section, and after the Japanese planes began to take off, the Intelligence Section had to grasp the information about them, and the Operations Section was to send small units to expand the reconnaissance area during the troops' march, and whenever they found Japanese planes, they had to quickly report them on the radio.

In response to the Japanese bombardment, Sun Weiguo could only take this method, but even so, the troops would still have losses.

After the Japanese bombardment ended, Sun Weiguo ordered the troops to continue marching towards Wutai County, and at the same time the distance between the various units began to widen.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qin Xianliang's Honorary First Regiment, Zhong Jian's Honorary Second Regiment, Ge Haifeng's Honorary Fifth Regiment, Liang Zerui's Honorary Sixth Regiment and other troops rushed to Wutai County one after another.

After the units of the Honorary Second Division were stationed in Wutai County, they immediately began to take over the defense of Wutai County, and the units were stationed in various towns and immediately began to build fortifications.

At the same time, the Japanese units also began to march according to the headquarters of the North China Front, and they quickly assembled towards the predetermined place.

In Hequ County, Shanxi, the main force of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, which entered Hequ County from Chahar Province, had already passed through Hequ County, but a part of it remained in Hequ County.

The 26th Division of the Mongolian Army and the troops of the Second Independent Mixed Brigade all set off to Shanxi Province, and the commander of the 26th Division, Guan Chun, came to Hequ County, Shanxi Province, and the county towns such as Pianguan County had a different mood, and in the previous operation in the northwest of Shanxi, the 26th Division was sent to Shanxi Province and suffered heavy losses, and the commander of the 26th Division, the commander of the 26th Division, the Major General of the 26th Infantry Regiment, Kuroda Shigetoku, was killed.

Even though Goguan Chun did not feel any sadness about Kuroda Shigetoku's death, he still felt that the 26th Division had been taught a hard lesson by the Chinese troops.

This time he came to Shanxi Province to fight, Hou Guanchun was in command of the 26th Division and the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, and he complained in front of Major General Toneoka Kanji, commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade.

In order to boost morale and avenge the fallen officers and soldiers of the 26th Division, he left the Second Independent Infantry Brigade and the Engineer Corps in Hequ County, and took advantage of the middle of the night to begin a large-scale destruction of the cemetery of the fallen officers and soldiers of the Baoheshui Battle established by Sun Weiguo in Hequ County.

The plaque of the martyr Qianqiu inscribed by Zhao Lerong was smashed into pieces, the tombstones were destroyed, the graves were excavated, and the bones of the martyrs were directly thrown on the road by the devil soldiers.

It took a lot of time to set up the cemetery, but it only took a few hours for the devil soldiers to destroy it.

There is not a single completed tombstone here, nor a single completed corpse here.

Bones from different parts were thrown everywhere, and the devil soldiers even tied many skulls together to boost their morale.

As the sky grew brighter, the devil soldiers marched away, leaving behind the bones of the martyrs all over the ground.

They thought it would boost their morale, and they thought it would demoralize the Chinese troops.

But the devil soldiers did not know that by doing so, they would only arouse the tenacious will of the Chinese troops.

They can cut off the heads of anti-Japanese soldiers, they can destroy the graves of anti-Japanese soldiers, but they can't cut off the willpower of anti-Japanese soldiers.

The devil soldiers left, and a famous citizen quietly appeared here, looking at the bones all over the ground, the people couldn't help but shed tears, they carefully collected the bones together, and buried them again in the ground, but no one could remember the names of these fallen officers and soldiers.

The county seat of Wutai County, the honorary division headquarters of the Second Division, Sun Weiguo, who rushed to Wutai County overnight, immediately set up a division headquarters in the county seat.

He and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong, Deputy Chief of Staff Sun Ziyuan, and Chief of the Operations Section Huang Guohua were deploying various units, and at the same time, Sun Weiguo had to contact the 120th Division and the friendly troops sent by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.

"Division commander, here's an intelligence from Hequ County." At this time, Wang Kunyao, the head of the intelligence section with a sad and angry face, came to Sun Weiguo's side, and he reported in a heavy tone.
