Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army.

Yamaoka Shigemu stood in front of the window, he looked outside, with a sad expression on his face, the new second brigade troops annihilated the 109th Wing completely left a deep psychological shadow on Yamaoka Shigehou, he also got a lot of inside information, he knew that he was very likely to be incorporated into the reserve.

The commander of the 108th Division, Yuan Xiongmi, was also at the headquarters of the 109th Division, and the two divisional headquarters established a joint command headquarters.

Motokuma and Yamaoka Shigehou are fellow villagers, both of them are from Kochi Prefecture, and the two of them are also very fateful, they were both born in 1882, and the two of them were classmates of the 15th phase of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Military Academy, but when they were at the Army University, Motokuma was a 23rd graduate, and Yamaoka Shigehou was a 24th graduate.

"Shangangjun, don't worry too much, this time our actions are very covert, the new second brigade will definitely not know, you can rest assured, this batch of materials will definitely be safely transported to Hebei Province." However, the troops of the new 2nd Brigade occupy Pingding County, and the Zhengtai Railway is completely unusable, and after the battle on the front line in Xuzhou is over, we must find an opportunity to defeat the troops of the new 2nd Brigade in Pingding County. ”

Yuan Xiongmi lit a cigarette and said in a calm tone.

The 108th Wing of the 132nd Division was almost wiped out by Sun Weiguo, but the wing captain and the wing flag were saved, but Yuan Xiongmi was also very resentful of Sun Weiguo in his heart.

"Yuan Xiongjun, Sun Weiguo has a very good strategic vision, I'm really worried that he will see through our plan, if the transport troops are attacked, the consequences will be unimaginable, I am already guilty, if there is a problem this time, I am afraid that the position of the division commander will not be kept."

Yamaoka Shigehou glanced back at Motokuma, and he said in a solemn tone.

At this time, the chief of staff of the 109th Division, Shikuro Ochiai, walked in from outside, he saluted Shigehou Yamaoka and Motokumaya, and reported with a little excitement in his tone: "Your Excellency the division commander, according to the telegram sent from the front, the troops of Pingding County have already moved, and the troops of the China have begun to enter the defensive position. ”

"Are all of their troops in defensive positions?" Shigehou Yamaoka hurriedly asked.

"Yes, according to the reports of the front-line troops, their troops have entered the defensive positions, and even the captured heavy artillery has begun to be deployed." Ochiai Shikuro hurriedly replied.

Hearing Ochiai Shikuro's answer, Yamaoka Shigehou finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that the troops of the New Second Brigade had entered the defensive position, which meant that they had no intention of attacking for the time being, so that the baggage troops could safely transport the supplies to Hebei Province.

"Notify the front-line troops and pay close attention to the dynamics of the new second brigade." Shigehou Yamaoka said immediately.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Shikuro Ochiai immediately replied.

Yuan Xiongmi snuffed out the cigarette and put it in the ashtray, he glanced at the map, the expression on his face became hesitant, he always felt that something was wrong.

"Yuan Xiongjun, this is really good news, the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time, this time we must have a few drinks."

Knowing that the troops of the New Second Brigade had entered the defensive position in Pingding County, Yamaoka Chonghou's mood also became good, and he took the initiative to invite him.

Yuan Xiong Ya nodded and agreed, he followed Yamaoka Shigehou out of the office, and the two of them went outside and began to drink.

At this time, the ambush troops had quickly entered Jingcheng County under the leadership of Sun Weiguo, and in order to prevent being discovered by the Japanese army, after entering Jingcheng County, the troops began to hide.

The tank was covered with green grass, and the artillery began to disperse and hide, and the reconnaissance battalion that followed the operation was scattered around under the leadership of the battalion commander Chen Zhengwei.

The staff officers of the Operations Section of the General Staff Office began to reconnoiter at the front with Liu Ke, chief of staff of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, under the leadership of section chief Yue Wu.

The intelligence department was mysteriously busy, and Sun Weiguo gathered Yin Jinshan and others together to discuss the next plan of action.

Platoon commanders of the armored battalion began to be called together by the company commanders, who began to summarize the mistakes made on the march, and the commanders of the tanks inspected the tanks.

All the personnel are busy, the tank unit is the treasure of the new Second Brigade, and no personnel dare to be careless.

The Japanese army took a series of measures, they wanted to safely transport supplies to Beiping, but they forgot that this was China, and their actions could not be hidden from the Chinese troops.

Sun Weiguo secretly entered Jingcheng County with the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, they came to Hebei Province in advance of the transport troops, and now what Sun Weiguo has to do is to choose a suitable ambush site, and he wants to eat all the Japanese transport troops.

Shijiazhuang, the headquarters of the First Army, Kazuki Kiyoji stood in front of the map, he stared at the map of Henan Province, his face full of lost expression.

Unlike before, Kiyoji Kazuki was obviously getting older at this time, and his eyes were beginning to become cloudy.

After the battle of Taierzhuang, there was an obvious controversy within the Japanese army, the Second Army of the North China Front Army responsible for the main attack was eager to avenge the revenge of Taierzhuang, they wanted to quickly capture Xuzhou, the plan of the Second Army The North China Front Army was supported, but the Central China Dispatch Army and the troops of the First Army of the main attack, they wanted to expand the scope of the roundabout and encircle the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops gathered in Xuzhou, and the two sides had a dispute, and the 14th Division went deep alone, resulting in a besieged situation.

And the commander of the First Army, Kiyoshi Kazuki, who insisted on expanding the scope of the roundabout, was obviously going to become the scapegoat for this incident.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the 114th Division has requested us to immediately transport supplies to the designated place, and their cavalry brigade has another combat mission."

The new Chief of Staff of the First Army, Major General Shojiro Iida, came to the front of Kiyoji Kazuki, and he said softly.

"Oh, I see, you go and send a telegram to the 108th Division and the 109th Division headquarters to get their transport troops to speed up the march." Kazuki Kiyoji said lightly.

At present, the front-line command post of the North China Front has been advanced to Jinan, Shandong, the 20th, 108th, and 109th divisions of the First Army are stationed in Shanxi, the 14th and 16th divisions are dispatched to the Xuzhou front, and the 114th Division of the North China Front is directly under the North China Front Army to serve as the garrison of Hebei Province.

This time, it was also the cavalry brigade of the 114th Division that received the transport troops.

The situation of Kazuki Kiyoji in the North China Front Army is very delicate, and everyone knows that after this battle, Kazuki Kiyoji will definitely be removed from his post.

The disheartened Kazuki Kiyoji doesn't pay much attention to the situation in Hebei and Shanxi, and he is now ******** on the front line in Henan.

The headquarters of the 1st Army began to contact the headquarters of the 108th and 109th divisions, and as soon as Shigehou Yamaoka and Motokuma received the telegram from the First Army, they immediately sent a telegram to the transport troops, who asked them to speed up the march.
