Outside the Bai He gathering, Guo Qing, deputy commander of the Second Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, looked ahead with a telescope, his face showed a solemn expression, and his eyes also turned red.

More than 100 pseudo-officers and soldiers laid down their weapons and chose to surrender, which made Guo Qing extremely angry, he shouted and cursed, and ordered the light and heavy machine guns to immediately strafe.

BUT HIS LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FIRE, AND SIX 82MM MORTARS AND SIX 41 MOUNTAIN GUNS BEGAN TO COVER THE AREA.

Shells came here without warning, and the supervision team set up by Guo Qing suffered heavy casualties under the attack of twelve cannons.

The troops of the third battalion solved the enemy in front of them, Zhang Wenbin immediately began to order the seventh company to be responsible for guarding the prisoners, while he led the eighth and ninth companies to attack the puppet army attacking the position of the second battalion from the flank.

Only more than 500 puppet army troops attacked the position of the second battalion, and when the two companies of the third battalion rushed over, these more than 500 puppet army troops became extremely panicked.

Liu Jingnuma, the commander of the second battalion, also immediately seized the opportunity, and the troops of the second battalion also began to launch a counteroffensive from the position.

The two battalions quickly routed the puppet army troops in front of them, and Zhang Wenbin's third battalion troops quickly began to pursue outside Baiheji.

Guo Qing immediately evacuated towards the county with a small number of his descendants, but after running for two kilometers, they were still caught up by the troops of the third battalion, and Guo Qing directly became a prisoner of the third battalion.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon of August 24, 1938, Guo Qing's Second Division of the Imperial Allied Army was completely annihilated, and hundreds of puppet troops under the deputy division commander Guo Qing became prisoners of war.

After solving the 2nd Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Sun Weiguo immediately began to send a telegram to Zhang Wenbin, and he ordered Zhang Wenbin's 3rd Battalion to quickly move closer to Beiyuan Village, where the headquarters was located.

At two o'clock in the afternoon of 24 August, Sun Weiguo sent a telegram ordering Liu Jingnu's second battalion, Zheng Guanzilin's fourth battalion, the guard company, the mortar company, and the mountain artillery company of the Independent Regiment to be unified under the command of Zhong Jian, commander of the Independent Regiment.

The troops of Zhang Wenbin's third battalion and Li Jiaxin's third battalion of artillery stayed in Beiyuan Village to rest, and according to Sun Weiguo's plan, they were going to return to Pingding County.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ge Haifeng's cavalry battalion and Huang Gang's first battalion troops met in Sun Tao, and at the same time, the two troops besieged Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui in Sun Tao Town, and Huang Gang's first battalion troops immediately began to launch a fierce attack on Sun Tao Town, and after an hour of fierce fighting, Guo Dehui chose to surrender, while Cheng Ximeng began to break through with his own cavalry.

The cavalry battalion began to pursue Cheng Ximeng under Ge Haifeng's pursuit, and at 5:10 p.m., Cheng Ximeng was killed by Ge Haifeng in the process of breaking through.

At this point, the four major bandit puppet army leaders in Linzhang County, Cheng Ximeng, Cheng Wenxuan, Guo Dehui, and Guo Qing were killed and two were captured, and the battle against the puppet army in Linzhang County was declared over, but the bandits Li Tai and Cheng Daohe in Linzhang County still existed, and they were still entrenched in their own territory.

In the county seat of Linzhang County, Sun Weiguo's headquarters has been stationed in the county seat.

Sun Weiguo stood in front of the window, his eyes looked outside, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Commander, we have now seized a lot of property, which includes ocean money, a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and we have also seized a lot of land deeds. But now that we have won, the people still don't know about us, and people in many places are not willing to cooperate with us. If there is no support from the people, it will be very difficult to encircle and annihilate bandits everywhere. Yue Wu, the chief of the Operations Section, came to Sun Weiguo, he looked at Sun Weiguo, and said in a solemn tone.

The seizure of a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry made Yue Wu very happy, and he knew that Sun Weiguo needed these properties to buy weapons and ammunition for the troops.

It's just that the people of Linzhang County still don't know much about the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which makes Yue Wu worried about the plan to suppress bandits that will affect Sun Weiguo in the future.

"Send a telegram to Fu Tao, the commander of the New Second Brigade, let Fang Chaoqun, the political commissar of the New Second Brigade, rush over, and let Fang Chaoqun bring some political cadres, fighting against the puppet army bandits is secondary, our main thing is to get the support of the people, only with the support of the people can we completely capture Linzhang County." Sun Wei said in Chinese.

He knew how important it was to get the support of the people, so he specially named Fang Chaoqun, the political commissar of the New Second Brigade, to come.

"The cavalry battalion, the first battalion, the third battalion, and the third artillery battalion immediately returned to Pingding County, with Shen Wei, political commissar of the Sixth Army Division, Sun Ziyuan, deputy chief of staff, Fu Tao, commander of the new second brigade, and Zhu Jianwei, chief of staff of the new second brigade, set up a command headquarters to unify the command of all units to fight, and told Shen political commissar that if necessary, they can be temporarily transferred to the tunnel, and we will end the operation here as soon as possible."

Sun Weiguo watched Yue Wu give the order again, Pingding County needed troops to resist the attack of Kuno Village Momoyo.

To this end, Sun Weiguo transferred two infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion, and an artillery battalion back to Pingding County.

After Yue Wu received Sun Weiguo's order, he saluted Sun Weiguo, and then Yue Wu began to convey Sun Weiguo's order.

Ge Haifeng's cavalry battalion, Huang Gang's first battalion, Zhang Wenbin's third battalion, and Li Jiaxin's third artillery battalion immediately began to march toward Pingding County, while Liu Jingnu's second battalion was attached to the mortar company of the Independent Regiment, and the fourth battalion of Zheng Guan Zilin was assigned to the mountain artillery company of the independent regiment.

After issuing combat orders to various units, Sun Weiguo immediately contacted Catherine and patriotic overseas Chinese Chen Aihua through the radio, and he directly handed over part of his property to them, asking Catherine and Chen Aihua to buy a batch of tanks from abroad to strengthen the capacity of the armored battalion.

The battle in Linzhang County continued, and two artillery companies and two infantry battalions began to encircle and suppress the bandits in Linzhang County.

At this time, the troops of Kunomura Momoyo have begun to approach the town of Shimen, and here in Shimen Town, the troops stationed in the town are only a machine infantry company of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, and it is obvious that the machine infantry company of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment is obviously at a disadvantage, they are facing three infantry brigades of the Japanese army, a tank wing, and an artillery wing, both in terms of weapons and equipment and numbers, the Japanese army occupies an obvious advantage.

However, Kunomura Momoyo did not rush to launch an attack on Ishimun Town, he first ordered the armored vehicles of the 1st Brigade Search Team of the Mixed Forces to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the vicinity of Ishimun Town, and at the same time he ordered the artillery wing to immediately set up an artillery position.

After the artillery positions were formed, the search team also completed reconnaissance, and General Momoyo Kunomura gathered the officers of the unit, and he began to hold an operational meeting.
