Sun Weiguo gave an order to the Honorary Fifth Regiment to ask them to contain the First Division, and the leaders of the Honorary Fifth Regiment also gathered together to discuss the battle plan.

Although they knew that it would be very difficult to attract the First Division out of Wutai County, Ge Haifeng and other leaders of the Honorary Fifth Regiment all wanted to fulfill Sun Weiguo's explanation.

"I understand the character of the regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, and division commander, if it weren't for the last resort, he would definitely not give such an order. We still have to find a way to accomplish this task, and if we can attract the First Division out of Wutai County, although there will be difficulties, it may not be impossible to accomplish it. ”

Chen Yang, chief of staff of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, looked at Ge Haifeng and Chen Guitang, and he said in a solemn tone.

Ge Haifeng's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at the map with a contemplative expression on his face.

"The supply line of the first division of the Japanese army must pass through Ningwu County, as long as we hit their supply line, the Japanese troops will definitely send troops to maintain the supply line. What we can do now is to try to attract the troops of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army to Ningwu County, the more people the little devils come, the more beneficial it will be to the brother troops in Wutai County, if they come in small numbers, we will eat them! ”

Ge Haifeng took out the map, he pointed to the location of Ningwu County, and said with a serious expression.

Now for the troops of the Honorary Fifth Regiment, there is only this they can do, and it is obviously unrealistic to want them to attract all the First Division to leave Wutai County.

The cavalry units of the 5th Regiment of Honor began to act, and they began to act in Ningwu County, reconnoitering the position of the supply units of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army and the roads related to the supply line.

At this time, in Dai County, the armored units and cavalry of various units of the Japanese army began to assemble in Dai County one after another.

The cavalry wing of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, two medium tank squadrons, a cavalry brigade of the 114th Division, a light tank squadron, a cavalry brigade of the 110th Division, a light tank squadron, a cavalry brigade of the 109th Division, a light tank squadron, a search team of the 21st Division, an armored convoy, a search team of the 26th Division, and an armored convoy began to assemble in Dai County one after another.

The Japanese began to assemble in Daixian with one cavalry wing, three cavalry brigades, two search teams, two medium tank squadrons, three light tank squadrons, and two armored convoys, and these units were under the unified command of Matsumoto Kurazang, the commander of the cavalry wing of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army.

The combat mission of the mobile unit was to attack the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to attack and harass the supply line troops, and this time the Japanese army fully prepared for it.

Ishihara Waner is the mastermind of the 918 Incident, he has a strong strategic vision, this time the Japanese troops in North China were directly handed over to Ishihara Waner to command by Terauchi Shouichi, and Ishihara Waner made detailed arrangements according to the situation of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army.

If it weren't for the fact that the strength of the independent mixed second brigade was too scattered, and the troops of the Japanese 26th Division did not dare to reinforce it, I am afraid that it would be difficult for the Honorary Fourth Regiment to annihilate the independent mixed second brigade, and if the independent garrison had not been rash at the beginning, the troops of the Honorary Fourth Regiment would not have easily annihilated it.

In terms of troop deployment, Ishihara Waner fully took into account the combat capability of the Honor Second Division, although the Japanese troops advanced by separate routes, the distance between them was not far, and the minimum number of Japanese troops on each route exceeded 20,000, but because of various reasons of the Japanese army in North China, this result was caused.

Ishihara was an excellent strategist, and he came to command this operation, which was obviously a great threat to the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The night passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was September 21st, the sun was rising, the sun was shining, and a new day had begun.

In Wutai County, on the heights of Huoshupo, the 109th Division of the Japanese Army set up an artillery position and division headquarters here.

As soon as the sky began to lighten, the commander of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Anan Yuji, began to hold a combat meeting, and the commander of the 26th Division, Lieutenant General Hou Guanchun, also immediately rushed here.

Anan Weiji graduated from the 18th class of non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Army, and Houguan Chun graduated from the 17th phase of non-commissioned officers of the Japanese Army.

However, the 109th Division is an ad hoc division, while the 26th Division is a police reserve three-wing division, and the 109th Division is superior to the 26th Division in terms of command.

This is because the North China Front only claimed that the commander of the First Division, Lieutenant General and Division Commander Okabe Naosaburo, commanded the attack on the Japanese troops in Wutai County in a unified manner, but the issue of the mutual command of the Japanese troops assembled from various routes was not clearly explained.

The Japanese 114th Division and the independent garrison were advancing together, so it was obvious that the commander of the 114th Division was naturally in unified command.

In the Ninth Division and the 26th Division, because of the different divisional establishment and the qualifications of the division commander, no one can command anyone, so almost all combat tasks are discussed between Anan Weiji and Houguan Chun, and then a decision is made.

It was Anan Yuji who proposed the flank detour tactic in Daixian, so when commanding the operation, Anan Weiji would occupy the dominant position most of the time.

"According to the report of the reconnaissance unit, there should be a regiment of the second division of the Honor of China opposite us, the specific number is unknown at present, but judging from the current situation, this should not be the main force of the Honor Second Division, according to the judgment of the North China Front Command, the main force of the Honor Second Division of the Honor of China should be gathered in the west and south of Wutai County, so the combat effectiveness of the troops we are facing should not be very strong."

"At present, there are mobile troops in Dai County responsible for the security of our rear, so we don't have to worry about the security of the rear for the time being, now our two divisions can be assembled together to deal with the face-to-face Chinese troops, at present, the main force of the Chinese troops is assembled in the area of Doucun Town, we are ready to use the 109th Division 118 Brigade as the main frontal attack, the 109th Division 31 Brigade as the flank attack, the 26th Division as the reserve, and at the same time protect the security of both sides of the 109th Division, the 109th Division Mountain Artillery Wing, The artillery wing of the 26th Division was also responsible for assisting in the attack, and the 1st Brigade of the 8th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, which was assigned to the 109th Division, also participated in the operation. ”

When Houguan Chun came to the headquarters of the 109th Division, the chief of staff of the 109th Division, Kuramoge Shuzo, immediately began to introduce the situation and the battle plan.

After the troops of the 109th and 26th Divisions of the Japanese Army entered Wutai County from Dai County, Anan Weiji immediately began to concentrate the troops of the two divisions and regiments to directly attack the troops of the Honor Second Regiment stationed in Doucun Town, and they planned to capture Doucun Town in one fell swoop.

You must know that the number of the two units of the 109th Division and the 26th Division together is nearly 40,000 people, and these more than 40,000 troops attacked Doucun Town, where only one regiment is stationed, and the situation can be imagined.

In terms of artillery alone, the Japanese army had two artillery wings and an artillery brigade, and the number of these guns was more than ninety!
