The 114th Division, the 21st Division, and the 3rd Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army, which launched an attack in Pingding County, were shelled by the 1st Battalion of the New 2nd Brigade and the 1st Artillery Battalion.

Shortly after the transfer of the troops of the 1st Artillery Battalion, at 9:45 p.m., the 3rd and 4th Mixed Combat Brigades led by Hideaki Okamoto began to enter the county seat of Binh Dinh County.

As the two Japanese melee brigades entered the county seat, Hideaki Okamoto immediately began to order the two melee brigades to deploy fortifications, and they made a posture of holding the county seat.

At this time, the brigade headquarters of the new 2nd Brigade had begun to move to Donghui Town, Pingding County, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, the troops of the 1st Artillery Battalion also began to set up a new artillery position in Donghui Town.

Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

Umezu Mijiro was upset at this time, the expression on his face was not very good, even if the North China Front troops strengthened the 110th Brigade of the 108th Division, one machine gun brigade, two rapid-fire gun squadrons, and let the 108th Brigade quickly go to Zanhuang County to support the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to fight, but Umezu Mijiro was still in a bad mood.

The 1st Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade were hit, and Umezu Mijiro had no hope for these two troops, he felt that the 114th Division would become the main force to encircle and annihilate the new 2nd Brigade, but eight hours had passed since he had set the time to capture the town of Zhixi, and the 114th Division still had not captured the town of Zhixi.

What made Umezu even more annoyed was that the various units were shelled by the troops of the New Second Brigade, and each combat unit suffered varying degrees of losses.

In order to continue the operations of the units that entered Binh Dinh County, the headquarters of the First Army needed to transfer military supplies, weapons and ammunition to these units.

Umezu Mijiro was in a very bad mood, especially when he thought about these questions, even though his usual expression was mild, he still had an angry mood about to explode.

"Your Excellency Commander, the activities of the Eighth Route Army troops are very active, and our occupied areas are currently suffering different blows, if this continues, it will not exceed two days at most, and the Eighth Route Army troops will get many benefits in our occupied areas, and our losses in the occupied areas will be very serious, especially since the security forces and local security forces are currently responsible for the defense, they are not the opponents of the Eighth Route Army, and their weapons and ammunition are very likely to fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army troops."

Major General Shojiro Iida, Chief of Staff of the First Army, came to Umezu Mijiro, he looked at Umezu Mijiro and said in a solemn tone.

He didn't continue to say the rest of the story, but Umezu Mijiro knew very well that a large number of weapons and equipment of the puppet army had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, which would bring a greater threat to the Japanese army, and Umezu Mijiro had begun to realize that the situation was getting worse and worse.

"The Jin Sui army troops, which have not been active, are now also active very frequently, their artillery units continue to bombard us, and now our troops' defense is very empty, and the Jin Sui army troops have signs of tens of thousands of troops gathering, they may take advantage of our main forces to gather in Pingding County, they will launch a counteroffensive against our troops."

Naosaburo Okabe, chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the North China Front Command, also came to Umezu Mijiro, who was holding a telegram and said in a solemn tone.

Umezu Mijiro took the telegram and looked at it, his brows furrowed tightly, this is the information sent by the Japanese army arranged to send the internal personnel of the Jinsui Army, and in the content of this telegram, it is mentioned that the troops of the Jinsui Army are gathering.

"We have to settle the fight before the day after tomorrow." Umezu Mijiro said in a solemn tone.

At this time, a staff officer came to Umezu Mijiro with a face full of joy.

"Your Excellency Commander, Major General Momoyo Kunomura of the 1st Mixed Brigade has sent a telegram that the 3rd and 4th Mixed Combat Brigades of the 1st Independent Mixed Combat Wing of the 1st Mixed Brigade have broken through the position of Hideaki Okamoto in the east of the Mixed Forces, and they have successfully captured the county seat of Binh Dinh County." The staff officer came to Umezu Mijiro and reported.

Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro had a happy expression on his face, and he immediately took the message and looked at it.

This telegram was drafted by Chiaki Hattori, chief of staff of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Warfare, and Chiaki Hattori's words can be described as very clever.

The 3rd and 4th Mixed Brigades made a detour from the flanks of Higashihui Town, but Hattori Chiaki wrote a breakthrough, which made Umezu Mijiro feel that the 1st Brigade of the Mixed War had achieved great results, and the 3rd and 4th Mixed Brigades captured the empty castle, which Hattori Chiaki did not explain.

If the telegram of the 1st Brigade of the melee had been written as a detour from the flank of Higashihui Town and the capture of an empty city, Umezu Mijiro would certainly not be able to laugh out loud.

"Nishi, Kunomura Momoyo is worthy of being a commander favored by Okabe-kun, and it is really unexpected that their troops can achieve such a record after withstanding a blow. Okabe-kun, now that we have captured the county seat of Pingding County, we have the advantage in the next battle, whether it is against the New Second Brigade or against public opinion. ”

Umezu Mijiro swore with a smile on his face.

You must know that the Japanese army gathered so many troops to fight this time, if they didn't even capture the county town in the end, then the Japanese army would lose face.

And the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Combat has now captured the county seat of Binh Dinh County, even if the Japanese troops are now out of battle, with this record, the Japanese army will be able to save face.

Naosaburo Okabe looked at the map, Kunomura Momoyo is an officer who was pulled up by Okabe Naosaburo, and he still trusts Kunomura Momoyo Okabe Naosaburo very much.

Knowing that the 1st Brigade of the melee captured the county seat of Pingding County, Naosaburo Okabe was also a little optimistic in his heart, but he was not as blindly optimistic as Umezu Mijiro.

He knew that the most elite troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment of the New Second Brigade were still operating in Zanhuang County, and if the troops of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment were not resolved, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to completely annihilate the New Second Brigade.

If you want to solve the problem of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, you must master the next actions of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, but the 6th Cavalry Regiment is a mobile force, and it is difficult for the Japanese troops to master their actions, and for a while Okabe Naosaburo became embarrassed.

"Your Excellency Commander, the intelligence agency sent a telegram, the Stinger sent a telegram, the new second brigade headquarters ordered the sixth cavalry regiment to besiege the remnants of the fourth cavalry brigade of Zanhuang County, Sun Weiguo wants to eat all the fourth cavalry brigade!" At this time, Shojiro Iida sent a telegram he had just received to Umezu Mijiro, and he said in an excited tone.

"Stinger's message, that must be true, Sun Weiguo wants to continue to encircle and annihilate a brigade of the Imperial Army, but they want to eat the remnants of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, this is not a simple matter." Hearing Shojiro Iida's words, Naosaburo Okabe said in a cold tone.

But he didn't know that this was just a tactical deception by Sun Weiguo.
