The Japanese troops deployed an independent garrison of Major General Tahara Hiromi, Lieutenant General Washizu Matsudaira's 21st Division, Major General Sasaki Toichi's Independent Mixed 3rd Brigade Regiment near the 2nd Division of Honor in Binh Dinh Prefecture, and Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu's 114th Division.

The independent garrison is adapted from the first brigade of the melee, under the jurisdiction of four melee brigades, a tank squadron, an artillery brigade, a total of more than 5,000 people, the 21st division is a special garrison of the three wings of the division, under the jurisdiction of 62, 82, 83 wings, and with artillery, engineers, baggage three directly under the wing, the total strength of more than 15,000 people, the independent mixed third brigade is a temporary combat brigade, under the jurisdiction of five infantry brigades, and with artillery, engineers, communications team, and the 114th division is a special division, It has jurisdiction over the 127th Brigade and the 128th Brigade, and the division is directly under the artillery, engineer, and baggage three wings, and there is a cavalry brigade, with nearly 20,000 people in the division.

The North China Front deployed more than 40,000 Japanese troops near Binh Dinh County, and after listening to Umezu Mijiro's suggestion, Terauchi Shouichi dispatched two independent field heavy artillery wings to Yangquan County and Xiyang County respectively to cooperate with the air force to launch an artillery bombardment of Binh Dinh County.

THE NUMBERS OF THESE TWO INDEPENDENT HEAVY ARTILLERY WINGS ARE THE SEVENTH WING OF THE INDEPENDENT FIELD HEAVY ARTILLERY AND THE NINTH WING OF THE INDEPENDENT FIELD HEAVY ARTILLERY, AND THE TWO HEAVY ARTILLERY WINGS ARE RESPECTIVELY UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF 36 TYPE 150MM HOWITZERS AND 12 FORMAL 105MM CANNONS, AND THE TWO HEAVY ARTILLERY WINGS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY ARE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH 96 FIELD HEAVY ARTILLERY.

On September 15, 1938, the Japanese troops began to station in the predetermined area, and the Japanese troops immediately began to build fortifications, and a large number of cement and steel bars were transported to the position, and all the Japanese fortifications were reinforced with reinforced concrete.

In Yangquan County and Xiyang County, two field heavy artillery wings of the Japanese army began to build artillery positions with the assistance of infantry, and together with two independent heavy artillery wings, the Japanese army successively gathered more than 50,000 troops in Pingding County, which shows how jealous the Japanese army in North China was of Sun Wei Guorong's Second Division.

The little devil's actions did not hide from Sun Weiguo's eyes, and after Wang Kunyao got the information, he reported it to Sun Weiguo as soon as possible.

After Sun Weiguo got this information, he didn't dare to be careless, and he immediately began to hold an operational meeting in the division headquarters.

The meeting lasted four hours, and in view of the Japanese army's deployment of more than 50,000 troops near the Rong Second Division for defense, Sun Weiguo's strategy was to dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and train troops quickly.

As Sun Weiguo's orders began to be conveyed to all departments, nearly 20,000 troops of the Second Rong Division began to carry out civil engineering operations for a while, and for a time dust spread everywhere in Pingding County, trenches and bunkers appeared on the ground, and pillboxes and hidden forts could be seen everywhere.

In the county seat of Pingding County, Sun Weiguo gathered his personal guard Wang Youhua and the guard squad, and he began to give orders to these guards.

Today is the day when Catherine and Chen Aihua leave Pingding County, considering the surrounding situation in Pingding County, Sun Weiguo specially asked Wang Youhua to escort them away with the guard squad.

After Catherine and Chen Aihua left Pingding County, Sun Weiguo returned to the division headquarters again, and he stood in front of the map and fell into deep thought.

The little devils have blocked the north, south, and west of Pingding County, and the only one who relaxes his guard is only in the east, and the east of Pingding County is handed over to several county towns in Hebei Province.

But Sun Weiguo is not a fool, deaf and blind, what is Hebei Province, this is the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army, the headquarters of the First Army, the number of Japanese troops stationed here is more than Shanxi, once the troops of the Honorary Second Division enter Hebei Province, all the Japanese troops in Hebei Province will definitely be mobilized to attack the troops of the Honorary Second Division, and the Japanese troops deployed in Yangquan County, Xiyang County, and Heshun County will immediately press over, and the situation of the Honorary Second Division will become dangerous at that time.

Shouichi Terauchi, an old devil, has a very insidious strategy, and in the case that he can't defeat the second division of honor, he plans to trap the second division of honor.

In this era, every household cannot even provide food and clothing, and it is absolutely impossible for a county town to feed nearly 20,000 troops.

The Japanese army has been besieged for a long time, even if they are hungry, they can starve to death many officers and soldiers of the Honor Second Division.

The most important point is that there are nearly 100 heavy artillery pieces deployed by the little devils in Pingding County, and this is not counting the number of artillery wings directly under the 21st and 114th divisions of the Japanese army.

"Boom, boom." Sun Weiguo was still pondering in the division headquarters, and the little devils who had just set up the artillery positions were restless, and shells began to come from Xiyang County and Yangquan County.

Huge explosions began to sound, Binh Dinh County was in a cloud of gunsmoke, the Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for a full hour, and there were many huge craters all over Binh Dinh County.

The devil artillery was honest, but the Japanese air force began to appear, and six bombers flew over Pingding County, and the Japanese air force dropped all the aerial bombs on the ground in one go.

The Japanese air force bombed for half an hour, and many houses in various towns and cities in Pingding County were blown into ruins, and many bomb craters appeared on the ground.

In particular, the Japanese artillery and aviation bombed the cultivated land, so that the grain grown in the cultivated land was completely destroyed.

You must know that the grain in the cultivated land is not only the ration of the people, but also the need for the survival of the troops, and if this grain is destroyed, the people and the officers and soldiers will go hungry next year.

"Division commander, the little devil is too arrogant, should we fight back, now the Rong Sixth Regiment has more than 50 artillery pieces, and we have plenty of shells, and in an artillery battle with the little devil, we may not be defeated." Han Wei, who had just been transferred to the operational staff officer of the division headquarters, came to Sun Weiguo, and he looked at Sun Weiguo and said.

"The little devils use heavy artillery, and we will suffer a loss in an artillery battle with them, but we have to fight the prestige of the little devils." Sun Weiguo looked at the map and said.

The sound of the shell explosion sounded, and Sun Weiguo knew that the little devil was using heavy artillery, and fighting against the little devil's heavy artillery, these artillery pieces of the Rong Sixth Regiment would definitely suffer.

"Section Chief Wang, Section Chief Huang, give me a clear picture of the situation of the Japanese army in Yangquan County, and I want the details of the Japanese army in Yangquan County before dark." Sun Weiguo gave orders to Wang Kunyao and Huang Guohua.

"Yes, Commander." Wang Kunyao and Huang Guohua immediately saluted and said.

"Yang Tiezhu, contact the reconnaissance battalion and the regimental headquarters of the Honorary Fourth Regiment, and let Jia Leiping, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, and Ye Zimin, the commander of the second armored battalion, come to the division headquarters." Sun Weiguo gave the order again.

"Yes, Commander." Yang Tiezhu, commander of the communications battalion, immediately agreed, and he immediately picked up the microphone and called the reconnaissance battalion and the regimental headquarters of the Fourth Regiment of Honor.
