Unable to resist Asahataro's advice and the temptation of a large amount of money, Ichiro Suzuki finally agreed to Asahata's request. Under the joint command of the three lieutenants, www.biquge.infoMt. Asa Taro, Ichiro Suzuki, and Yamada Nakayi, the infantry squadrons of the three devils joined forces, leaving an infantry squad to guard the town of Huajialing while taking care of the wounded, and the remaining more than 500 soldiers immediately chased in the direction of the escape of the Chinese and Japanese teams.

As soon as the troops led by Ma Jitaro and others left Huajialing Town, the headquarters of the Fifth Division and the First Regiment set up 10 kilometers away from Huajialing Town received the news. Qi Weimin did not dare to slack off, and while sending a report to the division commander Xu Hu, he ordered a regiment and a battalion to immediately block the road leading from Huajialing Town to Wei County, and then immediately reoccupied Huajialing Town.

After receiving the order, the regiment and the battalion immediately quietly moved to the outskirts of Huajialing Town, and launched a surprise attack when the Japanese left-behind squad was not at all defenseless, and the left-behind infantry squad was wiped out by the six or seven hundred soldiers of the first battalion almost without effective resistance.

In fact, when the 1st Battalion occupied Huajialing, the 2nd Battalion should have already exchanged fire with Ma Ji Taro and others. Although the gunfire in the direction of Huajialing also attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and also thought that Huajialing might be attacked, the Japanese army wanted to return to the Huajialing formation at that time.

However, at that time, the 2nd Battalion did not allow the Japanese to withdraw at all, so while Asa Gytaro focused on attack and defense, he ordered the troops to immediately organize a defense on the spot, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram to the 213th Infantry Wing for operational guidance.

The county seat of Wei County, the headquarters of the 33rd Division.

Lieutenant General Gampa Shigetaro was in a good mood, although the battle a few days ago caused the 33rd Division to lose a lot of troops, but after all, the most casualties were still those Imperial Allied troops that were used as cannon fodder, and the absolute loss of the Imperial Japanese Army was less than 3,000 people. The loss of 3,000 people in exchange for control of Ul County was a good deal in the eyes of Gampa Jutaro.

Of course, whether it is worth it or not depends on who snatches it from, and if 3,000 Imperial soldiers are used to snatch a Chinese county town from the miscellaneous army of the Nationalist government, then Gampa Shigetaro will definitely not think that he will have a reason to be happy.

But taking Wei County from Ma Zheng's department is different, what is the concept of Ma Zheng's department, since the twelfth year of Showa, how many elite of the imperial army have been folded in the hands of Ma Zheng, I am afraid that those bigwigs in the base camp may not be clear, no matter how many troops the Japanese Imperial Army dispatches, as long as it is facing that general, the outcome must be tragic.

The 33rd Division defeated more than 20,000 elites under Ma Zheng's command head-on with 3,000 recruits who had just joined the army for less than half a year, and this record alone was enough to make Gampa Shigetaro raise his head in front of those old guys in the base camp.

Therefore, not long after the capture of the county seat of Weixian, the North China Front Command issued a commendation notice to the entire 33rd Division, and at the same time, Commander Okamura Ninji also promised to add a field artillery brigade to the 33rd Division.

According to Gampa Shigetaro's meaning, since the Chinese army has shown a tendency to retreat, and the news from all sides during this period has conveyed a relatively clear message to the Imperial Japanese Army, that is, Ma Zheng's troops suffered considerable losses in the previous period of war.

Moreover, judging from the generally low military production capacity of the Eighth Route Army and the level of training of the troops, it is impossible for Ma Zheng's unit to completely recover its vitality in just a few months.

At present, with the cooperation of the Imperial Army, more than 300,000 troops of the Imperial Army of Japan have gathered in Saibei, although the people of China have shown good combat effectiveness, but in terms of the current situation, the defeat of Ma Zheng's troops has become an irreversible foregone conclusion, and although the time is not ripe for the Imperial Army to completely solve Ma Zheng's troops, there should be no problem in recovering northwest Hebei, northern Hebei, eastern Hebei, Rehe and other places.

After receiving the order, the entire 33rd Division and the new 3rd Division and the 4th Division of the puppet North China Public Security Army that followed closely behind him could only stop in Wei County, and even Yangyuan, which was close at hand, did not dare to approach too closely.

This order made all the senior officers of the Japanese army, including Lieutenant General Gampa Shigetaro, very dissatisfied, but the military is a disciplined collective, and it is the duty of the soldier to obey the order, so although Gampa Shigetaro is not satisfied, he can only order the troops to strengthen their vigilance and not deliberately provoke the Eighth Route Army.

In the temporary headquarters, Gampa Shigetaro was doing a sand table deduction with several operational staff officers, and the battle plan they deduced was a vast area centered on Ul County and Yangyuan Tianzhen County.

Although the quality of the Japanese army's operational staff was far inferior to that of its ally Germany at the same time, the quality of the staff officers who graduated from the Japanese Army University in Asia was quite good.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that many famous generals of the Anti-Japanese War in China graduated from the Japanese Army University or the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, including the most famous military strategists in modern China, Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and others, and now several famous old warlords in China have also received systematic Japanese military education, including the current commander of the Second World War Zone Yan Xishan and others.

Therefore, although Japan's military is average in the world, it is very powerful in the whole of Asia, including China, so under the order of Gampa Shigetaro, the staff of the 33rd Division quickly formulated two more detailed battle plans.

According to the first battle plan designated by the General Staff of the 33rd Division, the 33rd Division attacked Yangyuan in the same way as the way of taking Wei County, and the main force of the Imperial Army, with the cooperation of the Imperial Allied Army, gradually encroached on the living space of Ma Zheng's headquarters and gradually advanced the battlefield to Yangyuan.

The second plan was more complicated, the 33rd Division would first march east to Guangling, then detour back to the west of Yangyuan, and then flank the defenders of Yangyuan with the 40th Division. At that time, under the attack of the two master regiments of the imperial army, the Eighth Route will need at least 40,000 troops if it wants to hold Yangyuan.

Compared with the first set of operational plans, the second set of operational plans is somewhat troublesome and takes a longer time, and at the same time, it is also necessary to enter the defense zone of the First Army, and coordination is also very troublesome.

However, the advantage can reduce the casualties of the troops, because there is a long mountain area along the way from Yangyuan to Wei County, although the mountains of the Taihang Mountains are generally not too high, but as long as you reach the mountainous area, it is the world of Tubalu.

As far as the major rebel forces in North China at this time are concerned, in addition to the powerful Yan Xishan group and Ma Zheng's department, which occupy part of the plains, such as the Sun Lianzhong group in southern Lunan, the Yu Xuezhong group in northern Jiangsu, the Nie Rongzhen group in the Taihang Mountains, and the Wei Lihuang group in the Zhongtiao Mountains, which are not based on the mountains, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial army have no way to take these small mountains.

The most troublesome thing is that the one stationed in Yangyuan is Ma Zheng's confidant Xu Hu of the Suicha Military Region, which is the descendant of Ma Zheng's lineage, according to the information obtained by the special high-tech department, Xu Hu's department is all the standard equipment of the empire, and the firepower is very fierce, and this unit also has its own special and independent artillery unit, which is about a regiment.

At the same time, the unit also has a number of powerful arms such as engineers, cavalry, and reconnaissance troops to assist in operations, and its comprehensive combat capability is very strong. If Xu Hu's troops built strong fortifications in the area of Huajialing and defended the danger, then even if the 33rd Division had the assistance of the aviation regiment, it would not be able to take Yangyuan in a short time, and even if Yangyuan was finally taken, it would have paid heavy casualties.

So when these two battle plans were placed in front of Gampa Shigetaro, Gampa Shigetaro himself was a little hesitant and didn't know which one to choose. But fortunately, this is just a tactical deduction, and it doesn't require Gampa Shigetaro to really make a decision. (To be continued.) )
