In terms of strength, it is even inferior to Li Du, and the puppet army of 9 divisions looks bluffing, but in fact, the puppet army adds up to more than 25,000 people, and a considerable part of them are still shrinking in the rear, if in a stalemate with the Japanese army, these puppet troops rush up again, it is indeed quite troublesome, therefore, Li Du decided to force a surprise attack on the puppet army with lightning speed when the main force of the Japanese army arrived. Purely with the combat power of the puppet army, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the Northwest Army.

In fact, Li Du was right, and the puppet army of the two divisions was crushed as soon as it was touched. It was not much faster than the original Northeast Army and the Japanese army. Of course, it's not that the equipment of the puppet army is too poor, compared with the 29th Army, the 41st Army, and the equipment of the puppet army is even slightly better, but the other party lacks the heart to fight to the death, after all, a traitorous army, at this time, the Republic of China has not yet shown signs of the death of the country, and these puppet troops are also very hesitant in their hearts.

And after breaking through the puppet army of two divisions, the Japanese army's Pingsui detachment was directly exposed to the guns of the Northwest Army.

"Quick, fortify on the spot!" At this time, the Japanese military camp was in chaos. The Ono Akiyama detachment, which was on the marching route, received the news of the rout of Mongartu on the front line and the arrival of a large number of enemy troops. Ono Akiyama's scalp is numb, although they didn't look down on the combat power of the Chinese army before, but this time the opponent is too fierce, the puppet army's combat power is mediocre, grinding foreign workers, but the other party's speed is too fast. thought of the Battle of Pingjin, as well as the two elite Japanese wings that were continuously surrounded and annihilated in the Battle of Shibao. His detachment was really only one brigade at this time. And against the enemy army, the strength is a little too thin.

"What, the Northwest Army of China has almost reached the Umuqin Banner?" Harem Junaka, who heard the news, was extremely surprised.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Northwest Army of China is equipped with a large number of troop transport trucks. Its number was not even under the empire. Tens of thousands of troops will be sent to the established battlefield in a short period of time. The Northwest Army has this ability. The annihilation of the Nagai Tokugawa Wing has fully illustrated this problem. Staff officer Hatoyama Otsuru corrected.

"So, isn't the situation of the Pingsui detachment quite dangerous? Immediately notify Nagasaki and ask him to be vigilant against the movements of the people of China, not to be careless and underestimate the enemy, and wait for the main force of the army to arrive, and then gradually defeat the frontal Northwest Army of China! The mistake made by Tani must not be repeated in the 26th Division. ”

The harem said with a cold face, he believed in the strength and quality of the Japanese army. As long as he does not make a big mistake in command and let the enemy take advantage of the loophole, it is impossible for him to suffer much loss, and all he needs to delay is a little time.

However, this time the idea in the harem was wrong, Li Du not only wanted to exploit the loopholes of the Japanese army this time, but opened up a posture, put on a dignified formation, and waved his sword directly at the Japanese striker. This time, the 5th Group Army did not want to go sideways, but directly mobilized elite troops like a heavy hammer to hammer at the relatively prominent Pingsui detachment in the Japanese front. The Northwest Army was unable to suppress the main forces of the Japanese army on the main battlefield. Space can only be exchanged for time, and the effective strength of the Japanese army can be consumed by means of continuous resistance. However, the northwest has also accumulated savings over the years, and on individual battlefields, it still has the ability to take advantage of the insufficient mobilization of Japanese troops in the early stage to make counterattacks.

As a large number of the Northeast Army was transported to the vicinity of the Umuqin Banner, the area also became cloudy with war clouds. In addition to a large number of infantry, the main cavalry force of the 5th Army at this time was less than thirty kilometers away from the Umuqin Banner. And after the main force of the cavalry, it was the killer pliers that Li Du prepared for the Pingsui detachment.

However, the war will not let both sides make all the preparations to break out again, Ge Yanchun's 325 Brigade morale is high at this time, Ge Yanchun will never be like before, he can be ordered to retreat when he hears the Japanese army coming from a distance, the retreat of 918, the fiasco of the Great Wall War of Resistance, is an unforgettable shame for the Northeast Army, and this shame can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy. And Li Du's order to him was to hold off the Japanese army no matter what, and not let the Japanese army withdraw calmly.

What Ge Yanchun didn't know was that even if Jiang Li didn't explicitly instruct him, among the several giants in the General Staff of the Northwest Army, there was a willingness to secretly weaken the Northeast Army, and if Ge Yanchun didn't fight well in this battle, then it would be Ge Yanchun who would be removed directly. Directly replaced by a general of the Northwest lineage, maybe in order to balance the war situation in Hebei, even if Zhang Wensheng made a mistake, let the people of the Northeast Army take it themselves, but this kind of thing can't go on for a long time. There is no room for the slightest mistake on the Hebei side, but at this time in Suiyuan, Li Du's advantage gives him time to clean up these internal suspicions for the time being.

"Quick, take out the Japanese machine gunners!" As the distance between the two armies continued to grow, sporadic exchanges of fire began between soldiers on both sides.

At this time, Liu Gongying led a platoon of scouts to encounter the Japanese squad.

"Damn, a platoon dares to have a hard encounter with a squad of Japanese soldiers, even if you are not afraid of death, you can't send it to death." When one of Liu Gongying's platoons encountered a Japanese squad head-on, in a spruce forest on a few small hills not far away, two soldiers with green branches and leaves cursed in a low voice. During this period, under the instructions of the Northwest Army and the education of a large number of military history documentaries, the morale of the Northeast Army has begun to be brought back, but the combat quality cannot be brought back in a short period of time.

Even the most elite lineage of the Northwest Army, a platoon facing the Japanese army, can not bargain for anything, the Northwest Army's imitation Czech light machine guns have been configured to the infantry squad, one per squad, but as the most important firepower output of a platoon configuration of two 60MM mortars not only in number compared with the Japanese grenadier squad is one less than the Japanese grenadier squad. Moreover, in terms of shooting accuracy, it is much worse than the grenadiers of the Japanese army.

AFTER ALL, THE OPERATIONAL ACCURACY OF THE 60MM MORTAR CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH THE HIT RATE OF THE JAPANESE VETERANS, WHICH IS AS HIGH AS MORE THAN NINETY PERCENT. Even the elite infantry platoon of the Northwest Army is difficult to bargain for on the standard squad of the Japanese army, and the ordinary infantry platoon will suffer some losses nine times out of ten. However, in the collision of large forces, once the mortar has formed a scale, its destructive power and rate of fire can turn some of the situation around. It's just that being scolded by Cai Zhongjun as a stupid person in front of him is inevitable that Peng Gongying will suffer.

Although the machine gun firepower of the Northeast Army is not weak, there is even a small steel cannon at the platoon level, which is already an extremely luxurious configuration for other local armies, but it is inferior to the Japanese army in terms of quantity and quality. Fortunately, Yuan Gongying also knew his disadvantages and distributed his forces relatively separately. Avoid too many casualties under the bombardment of Japanese grenadiers.

"Zhao An, you went to ask the company commander for help, just said that we ran into a Japanese squad, if you don't come, just wait to collect the corpse with Lao Tzu. Machine guns, hit a shuttle and quickly change places, don't be knocked out by the old devil's small cannon. At this time, Peng Gongying's face was solemn, but the decision was not confused.
