Chapter 833: The whole division is to be transferred
The 26th Division of the Mongolian Army, the 2nd Independent Mixed Second Brigade, had more than 20,000 men, and this Japanese army entered Shanxi Province from Chahar Province, and they had already begun to enter the northwest of Shanxi Province, and posed a certain threat to the 120th Division.
Division Commander He heard that Sun Weiguo was planning to gather the 120th Division, the Honorary Second Division, and the troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to compete with the little devils, and this battle plan made Division Commander He interested, so he immediately contacted Sun Weiguo to inquire about the details of this battle plan.
Sun Weiguo once fought under Commander He, and in the northwest of Jin, Sun Weiguo left a deep impression on Commander He.
This time, Division Commander He wanted to continue to fight jointly with Sun Weiguo's troops, and Division Commander He knew that as long as Sun Weiguo's troops participated in the war, then the little devil would definitely be unlucky.
At 11 o'clock in the evening of 17 September, Sun Weiguo sent a detailed battle plan to Division Commander He via radio.
At the same time, Qin Xianliang's Honorary First Regiment, Ge Haifeng's Honorary Fifth Regiment, and Liang Weifeng's Special Service Battalion troops have begun to enter Meng County, and they are rapidly marching towards Wutai County, and this force is set off as the vanguard of the Rong Second Division, while the follow-up troops of Zhong Jian's Honorary Second Regiment, Liang Zerui's Honorary Sixth Regiment, and Jia Leiping's Reconnaissance Battalion set off at 11 o'clock in the evening, and the follow-up troops are also advancing along the roads of Jingcheng County, Meng County, and Wutai County.
So far, four of the six honorary regiments of the Honorary Second Division have been sent out by Sun Weiguo, including three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and two of the eight battalions directly under the division headquarters, and these two battalions have achieved most of the mechanization.
At 1 a.m. on 18 September, Sun Weiguo summoned Fang Chaoqun, commander of the Honorary Third Regiment, Yin Jinshan, commander of the Honorary Fourth Regiment, Luo Hongyi, commander of the guard battalion directly under the division headquarters, Yang Tiezhu, commander of the communications battalion, Tian Wu, commander of the engineer battalion, Liu Jingnuma, commander of the baggage battalion, Kang Fei, commander of the combat defense artillery battalion, and Ye Jiangkai, commander of the supplementary battalion, to hold an operational meeting at the division headquarters.
More than a dozen officers rushed to the conference room of the division headquarters one after another, which was now completely in ruins, and the officers could only sit on the broken bricks and wait for Sun Weiguo to arrive.
Before meeting with these officers, Sun Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong first met with Fu Tao, the infantry commander who was also the commander of the Rong Second Division, Wang Tieniu, the deputy commander of the divisional area, Tan Tianyu, the director of the divisional area, Luo Chenxi, the captain of the Pingding County Brigade, and Ji Haotian, the deputy captain of the division.
Because the Japanese troops were heavily garrisoned in Yangquan County, Xiyang County, Heshun County and other county seats, the division of the Honorary Second Division only set up a county brigade in Pingding County, and the county brigade in Pingding County had more than 500 people, but most of the county brigades were new recruits, and only some veterans were transferred from the Rong Second Division.
"Fu Tao, this time you have to stay in Pingding County, all the officers and soldiers of the Second Rong Division will rush to Wutai County, we are going to fight with the little devil this time."
Fu Tao and the others stood in the division headquarters that had become ruins, Sun Weiguo looked at Fu Tao and the others, and he said with a smile.
Although Sun Weiguo said this with a smile, Sun Weiguo knew very well in his heart that this operation was extremely dangerous, and the troops of the Honorary Second Division, which had just completed its expansion, were afraid that they would lose a lot of officers and men.
However, in order not to destroy the country and the species, in order not to let the Japanese enslave China, even if there is a great sacrifice, this is what the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers should bear.
Even Sun Weiguo, from the time he started fighting the little devil with a gun, he was already ready to sacrifice.
Sun Weiguo knew that the battle was of great importance, and he knew that this operation would have an impact on the development of the Eighth Route Army in the future.
Pingding County is the place where Sun Weiguo's troops started to develop, and it is also the base of the Honorary Second Division.
But this time, Sun Weiguo wanted to take all the troops away, and the only ones who could stay were the local troops commanded by Fu Tao.
"You have fewer troops, and when the little devils come, the people are all hiding in the tunnels. You are fighting guerrillas with the little devils, pinning down their troops, and you must not let the little devils hurt the people. According to my speculation, once the Japanese troops find out that our main force has withdrawn, they will definitely pursue our main force, and they will leave a small force to capture Binh Dinh County. So the pressure here is not very high, but you must remember to be careful and never fight hard with the Japanese army. ”
Sun Weiguo's eyes looked at Fu Tao, and he said earnestly, Sun Weiguo's face was full of serious expressions.
"Yes, Commander." Fu Tao immediately saluted Sun Weiguo and said.
"Wang Tieniu, especially you, must restrain your impulses and put the overall situation first in everything." Sun Weiguo gave a special explanation to Wang Tieniu.
"Commander, I know, don't worry, I will definitely not be in trouble." Wang Tieniu said honestly.
Sun Weiguo came to Fu Tao and Wang Tieniu, and he patted them on the shoulder, with an expectant expression on his face.
After saluting Fu Tao and the others, Sun Weiguo took Zhao Lerong and began to come to the dilapidated conference room, Sun Weiguo had obviously made up his mind.
"Division commander, chief of staff." When Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong came to the conference room, the officers stood up and saluted.
Sun Weiguo and Zhao Lerong saluted them back, Sun Weiguo had a serious expression on his face, and he looked at the officers.
The four regiments and two battalions of the Honorary Second Division have begun to go to Wutai County in two batches, and the remaining Honorary Second Regiment and the Honorary Fourth Regiment and six battalions are the last troops of the Honorary Second Division.
"Division commander, Deputy Division Commander Zhong called, they have entered Meng County, but the reconnaissance battalion troops in charge of the broken have begun to discover that a large number of Japanese troops have gathered in Jingcheng County, this Japanese army is very fierce, the cavalry company of the reconnaissance battalion was bitten by them, and more than a dozen cavalry were lost." Before Sun Weiguo could speak, Han Wei, a staff officer of the Operations Section, hurriedly came to report.
"Division commander, according to the comprehensive information of our intelligence department, the Japanese army outside the customs is a division, and we are still verifying the number of this division, but the number of this Japanese army should be more than 20,000, according to the division division of the Japanese army, they should belong to the permanent division." Han Mu, a staff officer of the Intelligence Section, also hurriedly came to Sun Weiguo to report.
After hearing the report of Han Wei and Han Mu, Sun Weiguo immediately looked at the map, and through their report, Sun Weiguo knew that elite troops must have been deployed in the area of Jingcheng County, so that the Japanese troops were blockading the surroundings of Pingding County, and if the troops of the Second Division of Honor wanted to take any action, they would inevitably be restrained by the Japanese troops.
"Tell Wang Kunyao that you must find out the situation of the Japanese army in the area of Jingcheng County." Sun Weiguo looked at Han Mu, an intelligence staff officer, and said in a serious tone.
