General Terauchi was very satisfied with Lieutenant General Okabe Naosaburo's operational plan, and although the bomber formation and the special task force failed to kill Chen Feng twice in a row, General Terauchi was quite regrettable, but after learning the news of the complete break between the Shina government and the 61st Army, General Terauchi was still extremely excited, and in his opinion, without the support of the government, the 61st Army was a fish out of water, and it was not far from death.

Half an hour ago, Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki and Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya and Major General Yamashita Fumifumi all sent telegrams that the divisions were progressing smoothly, that the Fifth Division had occupied Huairen County and eliminated more than 1,500 troops, and had also killed the magistrate of Huairen County, and advanced the battle line to a place only 40 kilometers away from Datong City.

The 10th Division was also progressing well, and despite the cost of a certain cost, it still managed to defeat about a division of the Shina troops, and now the army was advancing, but in view of the cunning nature of the Shina people, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya had now ordered the troops in front to stop advancing, rest in place, and continue the attack after dawn, in case they were ambushed by the Shina army.

Relatively speaking, the progress of the Yamashita Brigade is not large, and the county seat of Tianzhen, which has been reinforced by the 61st Army, is indeed a hard bone. Today, the Yamashita Brigade organized five attacks, but they were all defeated by the defenders of China, and the losses of the troops were not small, but the results achieved were extremely limited. According to Major General Yamashita's estimate, if you want to take the county seat of Tianzhen without reinforcements, it will take at least three days. And then there will be more than 10,000 casualties.

This is absolutely unacceptable, it is a stupid practice to exchange 10,000 people for a county seat, even if it is not cost-effective to exchange those imperial troops who are used as cannon fodder. Therefore, Terauchi Shouichi ordered the Yamashita Brigade to continue to besiege the county seat of Tianzhen, and he would transfer the 4th Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Heavy Artillery to Tianzhen, and at that time, how could the small county town of Shina be the opponent of the invincible giant artillery of the Imperial Japanese Army.

This heavy artillery brigade was specially applied to the base camp, mainly to deal with Datong City, where the 61st Army was entrenched. The last time an army of 100,000 besieged Chen Feng's department, it was defeated under the city of Datong, so in order to repeat the mistakes of the past, General Terauchi Shouichi deliberately transferred the 4th Brigade of Heavy Artillery, which was serving in the Kwantung Army, to Guannai.

In addition, the Mongolian army is also well prepared, with two infantry divisions and one infantry brigade. Plus two infantry divisions and four cavalry divisions of the Imperial Allied Army. A huge force of more than 65,000 men has been secretly assembled in Xilinhot, except for a part of the cavalry troops used to defend and confuse the 61st Army of China, the rest will be put into the battle at the end of the Pingsui line, and the entire steppe area of China will completely fall into the hands of the empire.

Shouichi Terauchi was well aware of the position of Manchuria and Mongolia in the hearts of the imperial hierarchy. Just take the Mongolian region. The strategic superiority of the empire will be even more prominent. At that time, the Japanese Empire could bypass the Shanxi Plateau and directly send troops to the five northwestern provinces of China. Then strategically encircle China, and it won't be long before China will be completely defeated, and the Holy War of the Imperial Snake Devouring Elephant will usher in the most victorious victory. And all this was won by the great command of His Excellency Shouichi Terauchi. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor will not be stingy with the title of a field marshal, and he will become a field marshal of the Japanese Empire like his father, a double marshal, thinking about Terauchi Shouichi feels his blood boiling.

In addition to the nearly 120,000 troops used for direct operations, the front army placed two more divisions on the Xinkou front, plus the garrison strength of one division in central Shandong and one division in southern Hebei, and the front army used more than 200,000 troops this time. According to the intention of Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe, this battle will completely sweep the 61st Army of China into the garbage heap of history like a thunderbolt, and at the same time completely wipe out all the resistance forces in the North China region.

The Japanese army had already taken the lead in the war, so at the same time, General Terauchi Shouichi was excited, while Chen Feng was full of sadness. Wang Qingya had already been sent to the field hospital and taken care of by Wang Jingya herself, and Chen Feng didn't even have time to look at her. Xinghe's mother and Tana sent 5 telegrams in a row to inquire about the situation, and Chen Feng only hurriedly replied with a simple telegram, and there was no time to elaborate on what happened today, and Chen Feng didn't want his parents to worry.

What worries Chen Feng even more is that the little devil's action this time is extremely strange. As Chen Feng analyzed at the military meeting, don't look at the little devil's momentum this time, and he looks like he is determined to win, but careful analysis can find that in fact, the probability of their victory is not great, and the best result is just a lose-lose situation, and this battle is really not interesting.

But is this actually the case, the Japanese are already short of troops now, will they do this, even if they have brought them great shame, but compared to a country full of ambition and clear goals, Chen Feng does not believe that Terauchi Shouichi will be so brainless to fight with him.

But what is the real goal of the Japanese? Thinking about it, Chen Feng didn't expect it, and opened the system hoping to find a hint, but unfortunately all the plates of the system were pitch black, and they were not red, Chen Feng secretly said in his heart, it seems that this is another hidden task.

Chen Feng's personality is like this, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to. Rather than spending that idle effort, it is better to organize troops as soon as possible and fight out the intentions of the Japanese. Anyway, there is the 222nd Division and the cavalry group as reserves, even if the Japanese have any conspiracy, they can deal with it in time.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of the 23rd, Chen Feng led the guard regiment out of Datong overnight and went straight to Jining. At the same time, Chen Feng used the secret radio of the military headquarters to send a telegram to the three guard brigades of Jining, Taolin, and Xinghe, ordering them to immediately move closer to Xinghe, and he would wait for them on Daqingshan. In addition, Chen Feng ordered the cavalry group and the special operations division to immediately go to Kangbao to stand by.

On the morning of the 24th, except for the continuous artillery fire in the direction of Tianzhen, the rest of the place was very calm, and both the 5th and 10th divisions of the Japanese army were burying their heads and hurrying, and there was no attack by the Chinese army on the road, let alone resistance. Finally, the 5th Division arrived at Datong at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and the 10th Division arrived at Datong County at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Datong County is located in the southeast of Datong City and is a satellite city of Datong. Originally, Ryosuke Isoya thought that the 10th Division was going to have a fierce battle here, but unfortunately, when they arrived in Datong County, the gate of the entire county town was opened, and there was no one on the street, and only less than 200 old, weak, sick and disabled people were found in the whole city, and the youngest one was fifty-five years old, still a lame,

Ryosuke Isoya didn't embarrass these old, weak, sick and disabled, he knew that even if he killed these people, he wouldn't destroy the will to resist the people of China, and it was better to leave these useless old guys to waste the food of the people of China and consume their resources.

However, what made Ryosuke Isoya feel depressed was that there was no one in the entire Datong County, and he didn't even find a well. I finally found one in the backyard of a large family, but I found a wooden tablet standing in front of the well, on which were written four big characters in Chinese characters - the well water is poisonous.

Ryosuke Isoya knew some Chinese, and when the soldiers on duty brought the wooden tablet to Ryosuke Isoya, Ryosuke Isoya was in a hurry and ordered the military medical officer to immediately check the water quality of the well. The results of the test are that the well water is indeed poisonous, although the poison in the well water is only the most common bacterial toxin, and the human body is not enough to kill after absorption, but it can make people diarrhea and even lead to dehydration.

Ryosuke Isoya, who does not believe in evil, sends people to search around, but the well he finds is undoubtedly not poisoned. In desperation, Isoya Ryosuke had no choice but to send people to look for water outside the city, but the water for the troops of more than 20,000 people was a large amount, and a dozen or twenty people alone could not meet the water supply of so many people, so Isoya Ryosuke had to send a large team of troops to be responsible for carrying water.

After resting for three hours, Ryosuke Isoya left a part of his troops to garrison outside the county seat of Datong, and rushed to Datong City with the main force of the 10th Division, and completed the meeting with the 5th Division under Datong City.

At the same time, the Japanese troops in Xilinhot quietly left the city under the cover of night, and then came all the way west. Moreover, the cavalry is in front and the infantry is behind, and the whereabouts are extremely strange.

Today, the martial law in Beiping City is nearly an hour earlier than before, so that many Chinese who left the city are stranded outside the city, and what is even more strange is that the Japanese troops defending the city actually drove armored vehicles out of the city to drive away the Chinese outside the city, and at least more than 50 Chinese died tragically under the wheels of the Japanese armored vehicles that day.

That night, there were a large number of strange Japanese soldiers in the city of Beiping, and after entering the city for a short rest, they continued to take the train to the front.

Under Chen Feng's order, the 222nd Division, the Seventh Independent Division, the Xinghe Garrison Brigade, the Jining Garrison Brigade, and the Taolin Garrison Brigade were all quickly assembled, and at the same time, the cavalry group also quickly moved south and rushed towards the location set by Chen Feng.

On the night of the 24th, the Xinghe Garrison Brigade and the Jining Garrison Brigade were the first to arrive at Daqingshan, and then the 222nd Division and the Seventh Independent Division also sent telegrams saying that the troops had been assembled and could attack at any time. Only the Taolin Garrison Brigade is the farthest away from Daqingshan, and it is expected to arrive in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

Seeing that the troops were basically prepared, Chen Feng gave the troops a detailed description of their operational plans, and the troops in the Datong direction still acted according to the original plans, and the same was true for the Independent Seventh Division and the 222nd Division, which should stay behind and attack when attacking, but the Xinghe Garrison Brigade, Jining Garrison Brigade and Taolin Garrison Brigade were the protagonists of this battle.
