In order to cope with the upcoming big battle, the advance brigade stopped the offensive after attacking to the border of the Hung Yen League. In the face of www.biquge.info Eighth Route Army, which stopped the pace of attack, the Japanese puppet army stationed in the Xing'an League did not dare to counterattack at will.

For these puppet troops, who are mostly only responsible for local security, in the face of the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they all know who to attack. To this end, they had only one thing to do, and that was to prevent the Eighth Route Army from entering the Hung Yen League area.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army did not seem to want to provoke them too much, and stopped when it reached the border of the Xing'an League. It's just that the puppet cavalry who were ordered to reconnoiter the situation of the Eighth Route Army often had no return as long as they entered the area recovered by the Eighth Route Army.

In response to this situation, many puppet Manchurian cavalry gradually did not dare to easily enter the defense area of the Eighth Route Army. After the 11th Division of the Kwantung Army arrived at the Hung Yen League, it also faced difficulties in reconnaissance.

At present, they can only rely more on the air force's aerial reconnaissance during the day for their deployment of the Eighth Route Army. However, for the Eighth Route Army, which is good at ground camouflage, it is naturally difficult to find out if there are no omissions.

Shoichi Naito, the commander of the division who had just taken office, was naturally very happy that the Kwantung Army Command had entrusted such a task to their division. At least in his opinion, it was a great opportunity to prove himself.

But Shoyi Naito, who was full of joy and led the troops, did not expect that the situation would be so unfavorable for them. Looking at the cavalry wing captain with a look of shame and helplessness, Naito Shoichi's heart was also full of anger.

'Yaga! You mean, we haven't engaged the main force of the Eighth Route yet, and we've already lost two squadrons of the Empire's elite cavalry. Do you know what this means for our divisions? It's a shame, understand? ’

Perhaps they felt that the puppet Manchurian cavalry was greedy for life and afraid of death, and after suffering several losses, they did not dare to enter the area of the Eighth Route to carry out reconnaissance. Naito Shoichi, who arrived at the Hung Yen League, quickly sent his elite cavalry to carry out pre-battle reconnaissance.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that most of the cavalry sent to the Eighth Route Army defense area to carry out intelligence reconnaissance never returned. And at this moment, the commander of the cavalry wing brought him the news that all the jade of the cavalry squadron was broken.

Although cavalry is no longer the best type of troops on the battlefield, it can fight in the grassland area, and cavalry can often play the role of mobile troops and emergency forces. These cavalrymen are undoubtedly elite soldiers in the Japanese army.

In the face of Naito Shoichi's reprimand, the cavalry wing commander Ita Zhen also said helplessly: "Division commander, our troops have been under their supervision. As soon as our troops enter, it will be difficult to escape their detection.

Most importantly, according to our reconnaissance during this period, the Eighth Route deployed at least one cavalry division of the main force in the forward position area of our attack. Relying solely on a small group of scout sentinels to send out reconnaissance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results. ”

In fact, on such a reconnaissance mission, Yi Tian Zhen also felt very unhappy. He knew very well that the Eighth Road's attack on the Xilin Gol League was carefully planned and prepared, and the combat troops dispatched were naturally the main elite.

According to the reports of some scouts who returned to the defense area, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army, which was operating in the grassland area in front of them at the moment, was in no way inferior to the elite cavalry of the Japanese army in terms of combat quality, the war horses they rode on, and the weapons they used.

Even though the role of cavalry has been greatly reduced now, the Japanese army also attaches great importance to cavalry. In the main divisions, the cavalry is often the elite of the division. But at the moment, their elite seems to be a little unable to defeat the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the commander of the cavalry wing has always emphasized that the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army does not compete with them in a comparable number of cavalry units many times. As long as the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army carried out the encirclement, the cavalry dispatched was often several times that of the Japanese army.

In this case, no matter how elite the Japanese cavalry is, there will be a situation where it is difficult to block four hands with two fists. And the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army carried out such an attack and killing, the purpose of which was to make it impossible for the little devils to know the current situation of the Eighth Route Army.

When the Japanese army was anxious to know the situation of the Eighth Route Army, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which had entered the Xilin Gol League one after another, began to persuade the herdsmen to move to the grassland. The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, to clear the wall.

After the Eighth Route Army confiscated the property of these ranchers, most of the livestock owned by the ranchers were distributed to these poor herdsmen, allowing them to have their first personal property.

Although many herdsmen were reluctant to leave the grassland where they were, the political workers of the Eighth Route Army also said in a timely manner: "Fellow countrymen, the little devils and those two dogs are afraid that they will raise troops on a large scale, and there will be a big battle here."

If you stay here, you will lose your life if you really run into a little devil. The most important thing is that all the livestock that is now distributed to you may be snatched by the little devils. That's why we're moving you to the rear.

You all live on the grassland all year round, and we will arrange for you to graze in other pastures. There is our liberated area, and there are troops all around to stand guard for you, and if you have any difficulties, you can also find the local troops and the government.

If you stay here, our troops will take care of you if the war starts. If you really want to come back in the future, when we have beaten away the little devils, you can come back to graze the cattle then! ”

Looking at the livestock distributed to them free of charge by the Eighth Route Army, as well as the pastures that arranged grazing for them, these herdsmen did not want to miss such a good opportunity. After all, this is too rare for them to be slaves to ranchers.

With the migration of these herdsmen, He Zhengdao deliberately artificially created an engagement area, which was also more convenient for the main force of the Eighth Route Army to hide. Sneaking during the day and operating at night to ensure the concealment of the troops to the greatest extent.

As for the cavalry units that were active during the day, He Zhengdao also strictly ordered them to be careful of air defense. Before the main force of the Japanese division entered, they only needed to clear out the reconnaissance cavalry team sent by the Japanese army and the puppet Manchu army.

The cavalry unit of a main division, in the face of these Japanese puppet cavalry who entered the defense area, could not achieve victory. I'm afraid that the commander of the cavalry division will also feel that this cavalry division has no need to exist at all.

When Naito Shoichi had a headache because he couldn't find out the deployment of the Eighth Route Army, Duolun's unexpected loss finally made the Kwantung Army feel that it was time to teach the Eighth Route Army a profound lesson and let the Eighth Route Army know the strength of the Kwantung Army.

Even if the situation on the other side is not too clear, Mei Jimiro still ordered Naito Masaki to lead the 11th Division into the Xilin Gol League area as soon as possible to clear out the main force of the Eighth Route Army that had recovered there.

Listening to the report and complaint of the cavalry captain, Naito Shoichi could only say: "Don't make excuses for your incompetence!" You should be aware that the situation before the war also plays a crucial role in our subsequent combat deployment.

Next, I will order the 12th Infantry Wing to enter the Eighth Route Army's defense area with your wing. The next task of your wing is to find the hidden main force of the Eighth Route Army for the main force.

Although we have not found much information here, according to our aerial reconnaissance, the Eighth Route Army has deployed a large number of main forces on the outskirts of Xilinhot. Find out where they defend and provide intelligence support for the main attack.

In addition, before receiving the order of the division and regiment, neither your wing nor the infantry wing are allowed to break away from the main force too far without authorization. After you attack, I will direct the main force of the division to follow behind you. ”

Sending a cavalry wing and an infantry wing as the advance force of the division and regiment to enter the Xilin Gol League in advance to fight the forward station is also to ensure the safety of the main force of the follow-up division.

In fact, without finding out the specific deployment of the Eighth Route Army, Naito Shoichi still seemed a little worried. At least as the division commander, Naito knew that the opponent he was going to fight was a rising rookie from the Eighth Route Army.

It can be said that as long as the Japanese troops who fought against him, they did not get any benefits in their hands. Even one of their main divisions was completely annihilated by the other side earlier. How dare he be too arrogant?

Accompanying the Japanese divisions stationed in the Xing'an League, the main force was finally sent to advance into the Xilin Gol League area. He Zhengdao also felt that what he had to do next was to take down the Kwantung Army division that had entered the Xilin Gol League.

Even now, the Kwantung Army has also gathered a lot of troops in the Chifeng area. However, he believed that with the existence of the 2nd Infantry Division and the 4th Infantry Division, it would not be easy for the Japanese troops there to enter the Xilin Gol League.

As long as he finds the right opportunity to kill the 11th Division of the Japanese Army that advanced to the Xilin Gol League at one time, He Zhengdao believes that this victory will also shake the Kwantung Army. Let them really realize that the strength of the Eighth Route Army is underestimated by them.

He Zhengdao, who had already been stationed in Xilinhot City, received a telegram from the 1st Cavalry Division and knew that he had entered the Japanese cavalry infantry wing ahead of schedule, and he thought that he was also a pioneer. For this kind of force, He Zhengdao did not want to defeat it in one fell swoop.

On the contrary, he ordered the 1st Cavalry Division, which was operating in the area of the Hung Yen League, to begin to shrink the cavalry units under its command and send small groups of cavalry to attack and harass it. As long as the range of movement of the Japanese cavalry was restricted, it would be difficult for the Japanese to detect the ambush circle he had set.

At the same time, the armored brigade and artillery brigade that had arrived in the Uzhumuqin Banner also received orders from He Zhengdao. The two brigades, as the killer forces of this ambush, also began to enter a real state of readiness.

The 1st Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division were represented by the 1st Cavalry Division as the rangers, while the 1st Infantry Division cooperated. Little by little, the 11th Division was lured into the ambush circle set up earlier. As soon as the main force of the Japanese division entered, a full-scale attack was launched.

As He Zhengdao's telegrams were sent one after another, the combat units that had just arrived in the ambush area also quietly lurked, waiting for the arrival of the main division of the Japanese army. And all this, the Japanese army that entered the Xilin Gol League is not clear.

According to the information they have, the main force of the Eighth Route Army is still more deployed on the front line of Duolun. After Duolun was received, the 2nd Cavalry Division, which took Duolun City, also began to move in the direction of the Xing'an League.

Such an unusual movement of troops undoubtedly made the 10th Division of the Kwantung Army, which entered the Xilin Gol League, also realize that the main force of the Eighth Route Army was coming. Who will win and who will lose in the next battle, it seems that we will only have to wait for the end of the battle! (To be continued.) )
