Abe Norihide can be said to be the first Japanese general to fight with Ma Zheng's department, and he is also the only Japanese general who has not been punished for poor combat at present, you must know that the Japanese generals who fought with Ma Zheng's department at the same time were either captured and killed or recalled to the base camp because of poor combat, and the better ones were assigned to the reserve to wait for the opportunity to come back, if they were worse, it would be troublesome, and they were directly sent to the military court for trial.

Therefore, every time he fought with Ma Zheng's department, Abe Guixiu was extremely worried, and there was a feeling of dancing on the first arrival, in Abe's own words, Ma Zheng's department had left a lot of shadow in his heart.

Fortunately, for more than a year, the Front Army did not let his troops fight Ma Zheng again, but transferred the 26th Division to Baoding, where there were no formed resisters, and even if there were opponents, they were limited to the guerrillas of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, after more than a year of training, Norihide Abe re-established his prestige and confidence in the 26th Division. Just as the soldiers of the Suicha Military Region believed in worshipping Ma Zheng, the soldiers of the 26th Division also trusted Abe Norihide.

And when he received the order from the front army headquarters this time, Abe Norihide was ready to cut the bones and dig the flesh, he knew the enemy on the other side very well, it was definitely a difficult opponent, even if he defeated them, he would have to pay a very heavy price, so before the operation, Abe Norihide ordered everyone, including himself, to write a farewell letter to his relatives in the country, to show the meaning of breaking the boat.

But what I didn't expect was that the battle was only two days old, and the defenders of China fled. This made Abe Norihide feel a burst of regret, and at the same time greatly relieved.

At the same time, Abe Norihide also realized that Major General Mioka Naofuku's previous inferences were correct, and the Shina people did intend to avoid the edge of the Imperial Japanese Army. Now we must bite the Zhina, and we must not let them easily withdraw to Zhangjiakou, otherwise the next battle will be difficult to fight.

Major General Norihide Abe immediately ordered Kato's troops to quickly attack and pursue the fleeing Shina army, and he asked Kato Daisaku to best contain the main force of Yang Chengwu's troops in the area south of Shalingzi.

At the same time, Abe Norihide also sent a report to Tada Jun, reporting to the North China Front Headquarters in the name of the Northern Attack Group: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I led the soldiers of my subordinate to defeat the position of the defenders of China in front of Xuanhua at 5:10 this afternoon, killed and wounded more than 3,000 people of the elite Second Division of the Eighth Route Army, recovered all the positions on the periphery of the important town of Xuanhua, and forced the unit to flee north. In order to wash away the shame of the imperial army, it was decided to completely annihilate the enemy army, and I hope that His Excellency the commander will urge the reinforcements of the imperial army from all walks of life to speed up the march and cooperate with our ......"

After receiving the good news from Abe Norihide, Lieutenant General Tada was overjoyed and immediately ordered Abe Norihide to bite the main force of Yang Chengwu's department at all costs, and told Abe Norihide that reinforcements would arrive in two days.

Kato Osa Honmei Kato Shiro is a direct relative of the Kato family, a wealthy family in Tokyo, Japan, although he is not a descendant, but he is very respected by the patriarch in the family. Shiro Kato, who is now Chinese New Year's Eve nine, has been in the position of captain of the Osa Wing for more than five years, and if nothing else, he should be promoted to major general this year.

Although the 39-year-old army major general is not young, he is still hot in Japan, so the clan attaches great importance to Kato Shiro, and many resources are tilted towards Kato Shiro.

No, not long ago, Shiro Kato received a telegram from the patriarch, after negotiations between the family and the bigwigs in the base camp, after paying a certain price, the base camp planned to let him and his wing replenish the half-crippled 16th Division that was beaten some time ago, and his rank will also be promoted, and he will be the commander of the 19th Brigade of the 16th Division.

It's just that what Kato didn't expect was that before the order from the base camp arrived at the front army, the order of the front army to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route arrived at the 26th Division one step ahead.

After receiving the order of the division commander Norihide Abe, Kato Daisa did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the troops to assemble urgently, and then chased in the direction of Zhangjiakou.

Kato Daisa was only added to the 26th Division last year, so he did not participate in the war before that, and all the information about Ma Zheng's division was heard after coming to the 26th Division, and he did not really see the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's division.

Although in the past year or so, the name Ma Zheng has almost become the nightmare of the entire Japanese Army, but as a representative of the young Zhuang faction officers, Kato Daisa does not think that "Ma Zheng", the general of the branch, is really that powerful.

In Kato Daisa's view, the reason why Ma Zheng has such a high reputation is of course because Ma Zheng has a certain strength, but more importantly, it is the soldiers of the Japanese Empire who spread false rumors, so they artificially created such a Shina demon, and even Terauchi Shouichi or Sugiyama Mototo and others created an excuse in order to shirk the ineffectiveness of the war.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Kato Daisa is such a mentality at this time. And the reason that the army is defeated like a mountain is also very clear Kato Daisa, in his heart, even if the combat effectiveness of Ma Zheng's department is really so strong, but how many layers of combat effectiveness can a rout army that has lost the will to fight remain?

And this time he brought more than 7,000 people to pursue, in addition to a complete infantry wing of the headquarters, there was also a cavalry wing and a large number of light and heavy soldiers and artillery. Especially the reinforced artillery brigade, which is Kato Daisa's biggest reliance.

Eight years ago, Kato served in the Kwantung Army, and although he was only a small junior at the time, he fought against the Northeast Army. The Northeast Army that fought with him in the past was not all cowardly, and some units were indeed very good, and both their combat experience and fighting will were remarkable. But no matter what the troops, as soon as they heard the sound of artillery or the whirring of planes diving, their will to fight quickly collapsed.

Therefore, Kato Osa did not have any scruples when he pursued, he was not afraid of the front Tsuchihachi Road ambushing him, but he was also looking forward to them stopping and fighting with his troops.

Like all Japan of this era, Major General Kato had a blind trust in the Japanese Army. They always believed that the mighty army, armed with the spirit of bushido and the sophisticated steel weapons of the Great Japanese Empire, was the best in the world, and that they were invincible and invincible.

According to Lieutenant General Abe's intentions, although Kato's department wants to pursue, he must also be careful not to be beaten back by the Shina people. The best tactic is to march in tandem with cavalry and infantry to lure the enemy deep into an ambush by the imperial army.

In the past year or so, Abe Guixiu and the troops of the Suicha Military Region have fought each other a lot, and they have a deep understanding of the elusive and strange combat methods of Ma Zheng's troops.

But Kato Daisa didn't take it to heart at all, he ordered the cavalry wing to quickly break away from his own team and pursue forward, and be sure to cut off the path of the Eighth Route Army's northward escape.

Dadonggou Village is a small village north of Xuanhua, and it is also a village close to the road. The vanguard search unit of Kato's headquarters soon found traces of the troops behind the reorganized Second Division here, and the Japanese cavalry wing chased them all the way to find that at least one regiment of the Tsuchibachi Road had disappeared in this area.

Although the captain of the devil's cavalry wing is not very good-looking, his mind is very delicate. His cavalry was fast, but not as fast as the infantry in terms of individual firepower. The role of their cavalry unit is to put it bluntly, a hunting dog, and it is enough to find the prey, but as for how to catch the prey, it depends on the hunter.

The commander of the Japanese cavalry wing sent a report to Kato Daisa, telling Kato Daisa that their cavalry wing had found the main force of the Shina army, and the number of the opposing party was about 1,800 to 3,000 people, which looked like a reinforced regiment, and that this Shina rout army had taken refuge in the mountains around Dadonggou, and asked Kato Daisa to follow them immediately.
