After reading the latest battle report from the front, Ma Zheng's doubts became bigger and bigger, it is said that with such a concession from the Suicha Military Region, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to help but move forward even if it is vigilant.

After all, winning every battle will inevitably stimulate the desire for victory in the hearts of the soldiers, but now the Japanese troops in the direction of Weixian and Yangyuan obviously did not follow the battle plan set for them by Ma Zheng, and they did not seem to be interested in the nearby Yangyuan County and Tianzhen, a strategic place not far from Yangyuan.

However, the Japanese troops on the front line of Xuanhua were quite interested in Zhangjiakou, and they were also attacking Xuanhua, Chongli and other county seats, and they were performing hard according to the script set by Ma Zheng.

Ma Zheng was a person who was very sensitive to war, and he did not think that the Japanese army was waiting for the news of the breakthrough of the troops in the direction of Zhangjiakou like Luo Political Commissar and others, and he firmly believed that the Japanese army seemed to have some big conspiracy in doing so.

However, after all, the intelligence department of the Suicha Military Region has a somewhat weak background, and it is not too clear about some of the activities of the Japanese military's top brass, and it is impossible to detect it, even if Ma Zheng himself has no way to deal with this situation.

Although it is not clear why the Japanese army suddenly slowed down the speed of the attack, Ma Zheng still decided to fight the Japanese army's intentions. According to Ma Zheng's idea, aren't you little devils playing weird, then I'll cut off one of your arms and see how you play.

As for which unit to fight, in fact, other people in the front command have a consensus in their hearts, after all, persimmons still have to be pinched softly, judging from the strength of these Japanese troops alone, the strength of the 33rd Division is the weakest, the strength of the 10th Division is the strongest, and the 35th Division is in the middle.

This is mainly due to the fact that the 10th Division has the 6th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Tank to assist, and the losses in the previous attack are not large, so this time Ma Zheng put the target of the attack on the 33rd Division.

The 33rd Division still has a very high status in the hearts of the Chinese, and its reputation is not much smaller than that of the Fifth Division, but the Fifth Division is famous for its strong combat effectiveness, while the 33rd Division is famous for its poor combat effectiveness and was painfully annihilated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

In fact, when it comes to the Chinese Expeditionary Force's annihilation of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, everyone may not be clear, but if it is said that the Chinese Expeditionary Force rescued more than 7,000 British troops and more than 500 journalists and missionaries from the Japanese invaders, everyone is no stranger to the Battle of Ren'anqiang, and the protagonist of the Battle of Ren'anqiang is the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in addition to General Sun Liren's 113th Regiment.

Shortly after the Chinese Expeditionary Force left Burma, the Japanese 33rd Division also entered Burma and engaged in the battle against the British Japanese troops stationed in Burma.

The 33rd Division was the first to storm Rangoon and occupy the British governor's residence, thus cutting off the entrance of American supplies to China and strengthening Japan's presence against China. After that, the 33rd Division attacked all the way north to the Ringanqiang oil field in Burma.

Subsequently, the 33rd Division, under the leadership of the Burmese guide, adopted covert interspersed tactics to quickly pass through the three defensive lines laid by the British and Indian troops, occupied the Binhe Bridge in the northwest of the Ringanqiang oil field, blocked the retreat of the British and Burmese troops, and surrounded more than 7,000 people of the 3rd Infantry Division and the 7th Armored Brigade of the British Army in Ringanqiang.

In desperation, Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Burma, sent an urgent telegram to the Chinese expeditionary force that had just arrived in Burma, asking for assistance.

The new 38th Division is the main force of the 66th Army of the Strategic Reserve of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the vanguard of entering Burma. Division Commander Sun Liren and Deputy Division Commander Qi Xueqi graduated from Tsinghua University and West Point Military Academy in the United States respectively. It was the 113th Regiment of the New 38th Division that took charge of the rescue mission, and Sun Liren, who came from the rear, personally led the attack.

In the early morning of April 19, 1942, the 113th Regiment of the Expeditionary Force, under the command of Sun Liren and Commander Liu Fangwu, quietly approached the position of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army and suddenly launched a fierce attack. In the end, the 33rd Division did not resist the 113th Regiment's successive charges.

In the afternoon, the 113th Regiment seized the Ringanqiang 501 Heights and the oilfield area, routed the main force of the 33rd Division, and recovered the Ringanqiang Oilfield by 17 o'clock. The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, which has nearly 10,000 troops, left more than 1,200 corpses in this vicious battle, and more than half of the thousands of officers and soldiers of the 113th Regiment of the Expeditionary Force were also killed or wounded, and the battlefield was full of piles of corpses.

In this battle, the expeditionary force rescued more than 7,000 British and Burmese officers and soldiers surrounded by the Japanese army and more than 500 captured American missionaries and journalists under the clutches of the Japanese 33rd Division. When passing by the position of the expeditionary force, the British troops who escaped from danger raised their thumbs one by one and shouted "Long live China".

The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army is also famous all over the world, and it has become the green leaf of the new 38th Division and General Sun Liren.

Although Ma Zheng didn't know much about the 33rd Division at this time, based on the performance of the 33rd Division during this time, he knew that the 33rd Division at this time could not be compared with the 33rd Division that flaunted its might on the battlefield in Burma two years later.

However, compared with the existing strength of more than 12,000 troops of the 33rd Division, the reorganized Fifth Division and the nearly 100,000 troops that had already been hidden in the vicinity were in an absolute advantage in terms of strength and firepower.

Subsequently, Ma Zheng ordered the above-mentioned troops to immediately dispatch to conceal and deploy defenses in the areas of Shilongpan, Huajialing, Luofengwa, and Miaoerliang, while the reorganized Fifth Division received an order that no matter what method was used, it must hook the anger of the 33rd Division and lure the main force of the 33rd Division to pursue them.

At this time, the troops gathered by Ma Zheng's troops on the line from Yangyuan to Weixian accounted for almost one-third of the total strength of the Suicha Military Region, and in addition to the two integrated divisions, there were also four independent brigades, as well as armored divisions, artillery brigades, cavalry brigades, engineer brigades, logistics support brigades, and other units directly under the military region.

After receiving Ma Zheng's order, the troops quickly moved into action, and they couldn't wait for so many days!

Night has fallen, and it has been another sleepless night. Today was another boring day for all the officers and men of the 33rd Division, and despite today's battle, they still achieved a great victory, and they finally broke through Wangguan Town, an important stronghold north of Wei County.

The deified, no, the demonized Shina army was quickly defeated under the fierce bombardment of the heroic 33rd Division, and although those Shina soldiers also put up a stubborn resistance and inflicted a lot of casualties on the Imperial Army, they were not defeated in the same way.

But even so, the soldiers of the 33rd Division were not very excited, because Wangguan Town, a large town with more than 10,000 people, like all other towns and villages, was already an out-and-out empty city, and there was not a single normal person in the whole city except for the old, weak, sick and disabled.

After entering the city, the imperial army not only did not find the gold, silver, treasure, food, and medicine they longed for, but they did not even find a flower girl with white flowers.

However, this is already a matter of course for the officers and men of the 33rd Division, because they have often encountered such things in recent times. Whether it is a big city or a small town, or a village near the highway, as long as it is a place where the imperial army is likely to attack, it is that people go to empty buildings.

Originally, the soldiers of the 33rd Division were still very happy to attack the Suicha Military Region this time, especially the soldiers who were sent to attack the relatively wealthy Wei County, after all, compared to other places, Wei County was still relatively wealthy, which meant that the benefits of each of them in this battle would be considerable.

But now the situation is not optimistic, the entire imperial army is obviously a locust in transit in the eyes of all the Chinese people, and as long as the Chinese people have the ability to move, they will flee at the first time.

Fortunately, the imperial army's actions were still very fast, and the Chinese army had limited time after all, so only a few county people escaped, and the vast majority of rural people just hid in the nearby mountains.

Two days ago, when the 213 Wing outflanked the county seat of Weixian, it captured nearly 1,500 Japanese civilians in the mountains, so that the 213 Wing made a lot of money from the wing commander to the ordinary soldiers. (To be continued.) )
