Wang Kunyao, from the Intelligence Section of the Staff Office of the New Second Brigade, had already investigated all the troops deployed by the Japanese army around Pingding County, but Wang Kunyao only knew that some cavalry would be transferred from Chahar Province to Hebei Province to fight, but he did not know that the cavalry transferred by the Japanese army this time was as large as a brigade.

The Second Army, which was originally subordinate to the North China Front, joined the battle sequence of the Central China Dispatch Army, and the Japanese base camp handed over the Mongolian Corps to the command of the North China Front, and at the same time, the Japanese base camp was equipped with a large number of directly subordinate troops to the First Army and the North China Front, and there was also a cavalry group among the many directly subordinate units of the North China Front.

This cavalry group has two cavalry brigades under its jurisdiction, and this cavalry group is currently stationed in Chahar Province and Suiyuan Province.

The commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, asked Umezu Yoshijiro to organize an operation against the New Second Brigade, and Umezu Mijiro began to formulate an operational plan codenamed Revenge.

In Umezu Mijiro's battle plan, the Japanese army assembled the 21st Division, mixed into the Fifth Brigade, the First Mixed Brigade, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, and more than 30,000 troops launched a joint attack on the New Second Brigade.

Terauchi completely agreed with Umezu Mijiro's plan, so the Japanese army began to assemble in secret.

The 1st Mixed Brigade is a unit set up specifically to deal with Sun Weiguo's troops, and the brigade commander Nagano Village Taoyo is one of the few commanders in the Japanese army who can draw with Sun Weiguo, but the 1st Mixed Brigade participated in the operation around Xuzhou before, and the troops have suffered losses and are still recuperating.

The Fifth Brigade was formed in 1937, and the Fifth Brigade also assisted the garrison troops under Fengwen Yamashita to encircle and annihilate Sun Weiguo's troops, and the brigade commander Qin Yashang was a veteran of the Japanese army, and this brigade was a fully organized unit, and the officers and men of the brigade also had combat experience.

The 21st Division is a unit formed in Japan in April, and it is a three-in-command division used to serve as a garrison, with the 62nd, 82nd, and 83rd infantry wings under its jurisdiction, and the 21st Division is a newly organized unit, and the officers and men are all trained, but have no actual combat experience.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade was originally subordinate to the Kwantung Army, and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade undertook the encirclement and annihilation of the anti-coalition forces in the northeast.

Sun Weiguo didn't know that the Japanese army had sent a cavalry brigade from Chahar Province to participate in the battle, but even if the strength of one division and two brigades had already made Sun Weiguo feel a lot of pressure, and he also knew that the little devil specially transferred cavalry from Chahar Province, so this batch of cavalry would definitely not be as simple as a few cavalry squadrons and a cavalry force of hundreds of people.

The encirclement of the Japanese army has gradually formed, and the Japanese troops are recovering the units lost in the previous battle, and when they recover, the Japanese will start to act.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops came from all sides, and when that time came, where would the troops of the New Second Brigade still have a way to evacuate?

The last time the garrison corps attacked the independent regiment, it was because the encirclement of the garrison corps had not been formed, and the number of troops of the independent regiment was small, so it could be broken out of the encirclement.

However, now there are more than 6,000 troops of the New Second Brigade, and the troops have heavy artillery and tanks, and it is very difficult for such troops to break through.

Of course, there is no way, as long as the troops discard their heavy weapons, they will more or less break through.

However, let Sun Weiguo discard the heavy artillery that he had finally captured and the tanks that were cobbled together, he would rather fight the Japanese army to the death than discard these weapons.

The Japanese attack had already begun to be prepared, and Sun Weiguo's way to deal with it was to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was not completely ready to launch an attack on the Japanese army in advance.

Sun Weiguo set the target on the mixed Fifth Brigade in Xiyang County, and the battle plan, codenamed Storm, was to defeat or severely damage the mixed Fifth Brigade and tear a hole in the Japanese encirclement, and once the Japanese army launched the encirclement, the troops of the new Second Brigade could break through through this tear and not be completely trapped by the Japanese army.

"Weiguo, isn't it too risky to do this, the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region has just been established, and I don't think it's too sure to fight such a big war."

There was silence in the headquarters of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region, and after eight minutes, the political commissar of Huang Zhen looked at Chief of Staff Ni and then at Deputy Commander Wang, they did not speak, and the political commissar of Huang Zhen was ruthless to be a bad person, and he spoke.

The stormy battle plan drawn up by the headquarters of the New Second Brigade not only includes the mobilization of troops from the New Second Brigade, but also the mobilization of troops from the five military subdivisions of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.

Two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and the troops of the new second brigade are able to fight, and in the face of the situation that the Japanese army has gathered tens of thousands of troops this time, they still need help.

"Defend the country, if you really can't do it, let Pingding County out." Deputy Commander Wang hesitated for a moment, and he said softly.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work." Sun Weiguo didn't think about it, he directly shook his head and refused.

The troops of the New Second Brigade had previously recovered Yangquan County and Pingding County, and then took the initiative to cede Yangquan County, and the main force of the troops was assembled in Pingding County.

In the previous battles with the 25th Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle, the New 2nd Brigade lost a lot of troops, but they always held on to Binh Dinh County.

Even when the troops were expanding, they still stuck to Pingding County, and Sun Weiguo would not give up Pingding County, which was bought by many officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade with their blood.

What's more, now the people of Pingding County have mingled with the officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade, and the belongings of the New Second Brigade are all in Pingding County, and Sun Weiguo, the county seat, cannot give up anything.

"We bring together the commanders of the various military divisions, and we first unify opinions internally, and then make decisions."

After being silent for a while, Chief of Staff Ni began to speak, and he chose the most convincing method, asking the main leaders of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region to come over and everyone vote together.

Sun Weiguo nodded helplessly, the attitude of Chief of Staff Ni and the others made him a little disappointed, but he could understand it.

After walking out of the military region headquarters, Zhu Jianwei and Qin Xianliang looked at Sun Weiguo, who shook his head gently.

After coming outside, Sun Weiguo lit a cigarette, and he took a hard puff of the cigarette.

"If we don't take the initiative to attack now, when the tens of thousands of troops of the little devils recover their combat effectiveness, our new second brigade will be dumplings. Our troops are combative, but in the face of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, how many devil soldiers can we kill? Yue Wu, the section chief of the Operations Section, knew that the head of the Military Region Command did not approve of the battle plan, and he couldn't help but say angrily.

Sun Weiguo glanced back at the military region headquarters, a complicated expression appeared on his face, he was silent, he didn't know if the commanders of the five army divisions would support his stormy battle plan.
