When Kojima Yoshizo heard Kunomura Momoyo's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kunomura Momoyo to make such a decision.

You must know that it is the Fourth Cavalry Brigade that is in danger now, and there is no need for the First Brigade to help the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, after all, it will be a great merit to attack the New Second Brigade now.

"Kojima-kun, without further ado, I will immediately ask Morikawa Nakasa to lead the troops to return to Zanhuang County with you, you must be fast, if it is late, the Zhina troops will definitely take action, after you arrive in Zanhuang County, you must fight steadily, remember not to rush to rescue the troops of Xuting Town, otherwise it is very likely that you will be hit." The armored detachment and your cavalry units must not fight separately! ”

Kunomura Momoyo looked at Kojima Yoshizo, and he said with a serious expression.

"Kuno-kun, I have written down everything you said, I will quickly solve the Zanhuang County Zhina troops, and then quickly return to help and fight with you."

Kojima Yoshizo said with a grateful face, he knew that the armored detachment of the 1st Brigade of the melee had a large number of tanks.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, a large number of Shina troops have gathered in Donghui Town, and our front-line departure position has been attacked by Mortars from China, and there are signs of counterattacking us in Donghui Town, Ikuta Nakasa asks us whether to counterattack immediately." Chiaki Hattori, chief of staff of the 1st Brigade of the Melee Regiment, came to Kunomura Momoyo and reported.

At present, there have been great changes in the units of the 1st Brigade and Regiment of the 1st Mixed Warfare, which has an infantry detachment, an armored detachment, and an artillery detachment, and at the same time, a search team, an engineer team, a communications team, and a health team directly under the brigade and regiment headquarters.

The infantry detachment has four infantry brigades, the armored detachment has three tank squadrons, two anti-tank gun squadrons, and the artillery detachment has two field artillery squadrons and two mountain artillery squadrons.

The strength of the 1st Brigade has expanded a lot, and Kunomura Momoyo can now be described as a red man in front of the commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi.

"Xiao Daojun, your troops will return to Zanhuang County immediately, you don't have to return to Pingding County anxiously, you can annihilate Sun Weiguo's armored troops in Zanhuang County, even if you contain them in Zanhuang County, it will be the greatest help to us." Kunomura Momoyo said immediately.

Kojima Yoshizo nodded, and he immediately left the headquarters of the 1st Brigade of the Dogfight with his chief of staff.

After Kojima Yoshizo left, Momoyo Kunomura glanced at the map, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Sun Weiguo, Sun Weiguo, it seems that you have realized that I have seen through your plan, but unfortunately, the current first brigade of melee is no longer the original first brigade of melee, and it is simply impossible for you to gather some troops to contain us. Immediately send a telegram to the artillery detachments and let them immediately counterattack, the infantry detachment will draw the first in the melee, the second brigade will attack from the front, the third in the melee will storm from the flanks, and the fourth in the melee will serve as a reserve. ”

Kunomura Momoyo first muttered to himself, and then he began to give combat orders.

The melee brigade of the 1st Mixed Brigade is the same as the Japanese infantry brigade, they also have four infantry squadrons, one machine gun squadron, and one transport squadron, but the artillery squad of the melee brigade has been exceptionally promoted to the artillery squadron, which has two Type 92 infantry guns and two 37MM anti-tank guns.

That is to say, the melee brigade of the 1st Mixed Brigade has four infantry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, an artillery squadron, and a transport squadron, and their two 37MM anti-tank guns can hit both tanks and pillbox fortifications, thus enhancing the troops' attack capability.

Kunomura Momoyo quickly gave the order, and three infantry brigades and more than 3,000 devil soldiers began to operate.

At the same time, the 32 artillery pieces of the Japanese army also began to bombard Donghui Town, and shells continued to hit Donghui Town.

At this time, the third and fourth battalions of the independent regiment, the machine gun battalion, the guard company, the artillery company, the fourth battalion of the first pre-regiment, and the machine gun battalion were assembled in Donghui Town, and there were three infantry battalions, two machine gun battalions, one guard company, and one artillery company.

THE TWELVE 82MM MORTARS OF THE TWO MACHINE GUN BATTALIONS AND THE SIX 41 MOUNTAIN GUNS OF THE ARTILLERY COMPANY SHELLED THE STARTING POSITIONS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY, AND THE FOURTH BATTALION OF THE PRE-1 REGIMENT ZHENG GUAN ZILIN AND THE FOURTH BATTALION OF XIAO YAN OF THE INDEPENDENT REGIMENT WERE READY TO ATTACK, BUT AT THIS TIME, THE JAPANESE ARTILLERY SHELLS BEGAN TO HIT.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the houses in Donghui Town began to shake violently, and Sun Weiguo, who was in the town's headquarters, was immediately escorted to the underground bunker.

The Japanese artillery bombardment lasted for some time, and then the Japanese infantry began to attack.

"Brigade commander, the little devil infantry rushed over, and they launched an attack on us in advance."

Zhong Jian, the head of the independent regiment, immediately came to Sun Weiguo and reported that the expression on Zhong Jian's face was a little solemn.

More than 3,000 people from three melee groups of the Japanese army attacked under the cover of 32 guns, and such a force was not something that a single regiment could withstand.

"Kunomura Momoyo is very powerful, Yang Tiezhu, immediately send a telegram to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and ask them to pay close attention to the reinforcements of the Fourth Brigade of the Cavalry, if I am not mistaken, the armored troops of the First Brigade of the Mixed Battle will definitely follow the Japanese cavalry back to Zanhuang County." Sun Wei said calmly in Chinese.

Yang Tiezhu immediately began to arrange for the communication troops to send electricity to the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and Sun Weiguo left the underground bunker directly, and he came to the surface.

After climbing the ladder to the top of the house, Sun Weiguo looked outside with a telescope.

Two infantry brigades pulled out a 5,000-meter attack range, and at the same time, an infantry brigade made a detour from the left, and thousands of devil soldiers began to advance towards Donghui Town.

"The third battalion of the independent regiment is stationed in the town, the fourth battalion of Xiao Yan, the fourth battalion of Zheng Guan Zilin, the Ye Jiangkai machine gun battalion, and the Liu Yong machine gun battalion are stationed outside the town, relying on fortifications to intercept the attack of Japanese troops, and the guard company and artillery company of the independent regiment are immediately assembled on the left side of the town and wait for the battle order."

Sun Weiguo saw the attack of the Japanese troops, and he immediately gave the order.

After Zhong Jian received Sun Weiguo's order, he immediately began to deploy troops, and after a while, the various units began to enter the position.

The attack of the new 2nd Brigade was forced to change to defense, and at this time, the commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Major General Brigade Kojima Yoshizo, quickly returned to Zanhuang County with the armored detachment of the 1st Mixed Brigade and the three cavalry wings and a motorized infantry brigade of the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

The battle was about to break out, and the troops of the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army in Donghui Town took the lead in launching an attack on Donghui Town.

Outside Zhixi Town, the 114th Division of the Japanese Army and the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade also began to meet together, and they were also discussing the next offensive plan.
