Chapter 536: Break through quickly

As everyone knows, the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army only have three divisions, and the rest of the expanded units are all units organized in various military regions, and these units are not strong in combat effectiveness; in the eyes of the Japanese, these units are nothing more than units formed by local peasants, and they do not take these units into account.

Kazuki Kiyoji knew very well that a single infantry brigade of the Japanese army could defeat more than 5,000 local troops, but Kazuki Kiyoji knew better that more than 1,000 local troops were handed over to Sun Weiguo, and it was possible for these more than 1,000 local troops to completely annihilate one of his own Japanese brigades.

At present, there are tens of thousands of regular troops and local troops of the Eighth Route Army in Pingding County, and these tens of thousands of people have begun to form an encirclement of the first brigade of the Japanese army.

"How many units of the 132nd Wing are currently available to fight?" Seiji Kazuki immediately asked.

"Your Excellency Commander, it is very likely that the second and third brigades of the 132nd Wing have been wiped out, and only the first brigade can fight at present, and the troops they can fight should be more than 1,000 people, and the first brigade of the 132nd Wing is currently in Qianhuang'an Village." Hashimoto immediately made a report.

He was the chief of staff of the First Army, and the attack on the anti-Japanese troops in the southeast of Shanxi Province and the operation against the troops of Sun Weiguo's new Second Brigade were all planned by the Hashimoto Group, and after the troops launched combat operations, the Hashimoto Group was kept abreast of the situation at the front.

After hearing Hashimoto's answer, Kiyoji Kazuki's brows furrowed tightly, and the expression on his face became unoptimistic.

If the 132nd Wing is fully established, and there are Japanese troops such as the 1st Brigade and the 132nd Wing in Pingding County, even though Sun Weiguo commands tens of thousands of troops, Kazuki Kiyoshi still believes that Kunomura Momoyo can handle the battle situation in Pingding County.

But now the first brigade of the melee in Pingding County has suffered a lot of losses, and there is only one infantry brigade in the 132nd Wing, which makes Kazuki Kiyoji a little worried.

If a newly formed multi-arm brigade was surrounded and annihilated by Sun Weiguo, such a responsibility would not be able to be borne even by Lieutenant General Commander Kazuki Kiyoji.

"Call back immediately, the first brigade of the 132nd Wing, the first brigade of the 132nd Wing quickly broke through to Xiyang County, and immediately contacted the commander of the 25th Brigade, Naozo Nakano, and asked him to send the 117th Wing to respond."

After being silent for a while, Kiyoji Kazuki immediately gave the order, and he felt that it was right to break out in time while the encirclement of the Chinese troops had not yet been deployed.

The 132nd Wing has already been beaten to only one infantry brigade, and it is not a good deal to get into a melee brigade for this infantry brigade.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Hashimoto immediately saluted and said.

Hashimoto did not have any objection to Kazuki Seiji's order to break through to Xiyang County, and he also knew that the current situation was indeed very unoptimistic.

The orders of the 1st Army Headquarters began to be transmitted to the 1st Brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army in the former Huang'an Village, and also to the 1st Brigade of the Melee Brigade.

After the 1st Brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese Army in the former Huang'an Village received the order to break through, Captain Shaozuo did not hesitate, he immediately commanded the troops to start breaking through, and the main force of the 2nd Battle Group began to assemble in Donghui Town, and they could easily break through.

Sun Weiguo soon got the news that the first brigade broke out, and after Sun Weiguo knew the news, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brigade commander, why didn't you see the officers of the mobile combat group, where have they gone?"

In a trench outside Donghui Town, there is a temporary headquarters at the end of the trench, which is the headquarters of the second battle group and the location of Sun Weiguo's command organ.

Fu Tao, the commander of the first regiment, was afraid that Sun Weiguo would make a mistake on the front line, and after finishing the battle against the second brigade, Fu Tao transferred Yang Tiezhu's guard company to Sun Weiguo's side and served as Sun Weiguo's guard unit.

When the officers of the 1st Advance Regiment came to the headquarters, they did not see the officers of the mobile combat group, and the deputy regiment commander Yin Jin couldn't help but ask.

"They have other combat missions, everyone is here, now we have a meeting." Sun Weiguo said with a smile.

Naturally, the troops of the mobile combat group were the first brigade of the 132nd Wing of the Japanese army that was transferred by Sun Weiguo, and when this first brigade was cowering in the former Huang'an Village, the mobile combat group naturally could not play any role, but now that they have broken through, the mobile combat group can naturally deal with them.

It's just that Sun Weiguo blocked the news, so even the officers of the first regiment didn't know where the mobile combat group went.

The officers of the various units of the Second Battle Group came to the headquarters, and Sun Weiguo began to hold an operational meeting, and the content of the meeting was naturally to deal with the first brigade of the Japanese army.

The first brigade of the melee completely annihilated two battalions of the independent regiment and one battalion of the pre-first regiment, such hatred Sun Weiguo will not be invisible, Sun Weiguo has the character of revenge, this time Sun Weiguo transferred two battle groups and the reserve Wang Naigui detachment, he is planning to knock and beat the first brigade of the melee.

At present, Sun Weiguo has assembled an independent detachment, an artillery group, a special service battalion, a pre-1st regiment, a mobile combat group, and a Yongxing detachment in Pingding County, which are respectively subordinate to the artillery battalion of the 129th Division, two artillery companies of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and Wang Naigui's detachment, and the number of these troops has exceeded tens of thousands.

Among them, the independent detachment, the Yongxing detachment, and the Wang Naigui detachment are all units separated from the three regular divisions, and the number of veterans in their units is small, the number of recruits is large, and the weapons and equipment are not very good, while the special service battalion, artillery group, and mobile combat group are all units of Sun Weiguo's new second brigade, and these units have strong combat effectiveness and excellent weapons and equipment, and they can take on important tasks.

Sun Weiguo did not discuss the issue of whether to fight or not, and the fight was definitely going to be fought, and Sun Weiguo made a decision, so it would be difficult to change it again.

The question is how to fight, the first brigade of the melee is a multi-arms mixed combat brigade, and the brigade commander Nagano Village Momoyo is a fierce general, and it is naturally not a simple problem to deal with them.

After Xiaochuan Village, the Japanese artillery position, more than a dozen artillery pieces were put on gun jackets, and the alert troops patrolled back and forth on the artillery position.

Not far from the artillery position, there is a very simple house, which is the brigade headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Sun Weiguo was convening the officers to discuss how to fight against the first brigade of the melee, and Kunomura Momoyo was also gathering the officers, and the content of his discussion was how to break out.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, although our brigade has suffered certain losses, the losses of the Zhina troops are even more heavy, and our brigade and regiment have directly broken through the encirclement, and there is no Zhina army in Pingding County that can stop us." The captain of the second brigade stood up, and he swore solemnly.
