According to Xia Yang's orders, Qiu Guoping and He Changxing's mission was to move as far as possible in the south and create chaos so that the Japanese army would not dare to easily deploy troops from here.
At the same time, Xia Yang also sent a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief of Guards stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain, hoping that his troops could prepare to attack in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
At that time, it was not that the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain actually attacked, but that the Japanese divisions blocking Zhongtiao Mountain did not dare to act rashly.
In Hunyuan County, Sun Qi led his men and entered the house that he had purchased here before.
He has many properties in the counties in northwestern Shanxi. Lingqiu County fell. Sun Qi withdrew from Lingqiu County overnight and entered Hunyuan County to cooperate with Xia Yang's next move.
Since Lingqiu County was captured, Datong¡¯s 114th Division moved into Hunyuan County. At this time, throughout Hunyuan County, a large number of Japanese troops could be seen patrolling everywhere, and many troops transporting supplies were coming and going on the streets.
After completing the preparations for the battle, they will head to Lingqiu County and recapture Lingqiu County.
Those who entered Hunyuan County with Sun Qi and others, and the soldiers who retreated from Lingqiu County.
These soldiers, led by Jiro Sakurai, opened a gap from the south city gate. In fact, Hu San had someone let them out on purpose.
Jiro Sakurai will continue to lurk in Hunyuan County together with Sun Qi, acting as internal agents.
In Wangzhuangbao Town, northwest of Lingqiu County, the troops of the Fourth Mountain Division, led by Chen Shiliang, arrived here three days ago.
There were not many Japanese troops stationed here at that time. They did not spend much effort in attacking this town connecting Lingqiu County and Laiyuan County, and then set up defensive positions along the Tanghe River.
They built a large defensive position here, on the one hand to block the connection between the Fifth Division and Hunyuan County in the north, and on the other hand to resist the attack of the Japanese 114th Division.
Chen Shiliang's troops now numbered more than 10,000. Coupled with the large number of guerrillas who came from Mount Wutai this time, the total number has exceeded 15,000.
After arriving here, the guerrilla troops immediately entered Hengshan and the surrounding mountains, ready to harass the Japanese troops at any time.
On the front, Chen Shiliang¡¯s fourth division is needed to fight the Japanese army head-on.
Although they have been fighting guerrillas in the Wutai Mountain area all year round, Chen Shiliang's Fourth Division has very strong combat capabilities. In particular, the equipment of their troops is definitely better than that of most regular troops of the national army.
After all, Xia Yang never lacks supplies of weapons for them. Except that their division did not have an artillery regiment due to problems in the combat area, there was no shortage of other weapons.
And the two artillery battalions assigned to the garrison regiment have been assigned to the Fourth Division due to combat needs.
Their mission is very simple. Before the Fifth Division is defeated, they must hold on to this line of defense and prevent the Japanese 114th Division from recapturing Lingqiu County.
On the other side, after the troops who occupied Lingqiu County left some troops to garrison, the rest of the troops began to attack Gushan to the east of Lingqiu County.
As long as they occupy Gushan, they will completely cut off the fifth division's retreat, making them a turtle in the urn.
The 114th Division of Kusaba Tatsumi stopped in the Hengshan area.
They need to head towards Wangzhuangbao along the road along the Tanghe River. Not far after Wangzhuangbao Town, they can directly attack Lingqiu County.
At this time, the troops of the 114th Division were already stationed along the bank of Tang River, and the forward reconnaissance troops had arrived in this area two days ago.
They had a brief exchange of fire with the troops of the Fourth Mountain Division, and after leaving more than a dozen corpses behind, they hurriedly evacuated.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the enemy has set up at least a dozen positions on both sides of the Tang River, all the way to Wangzhuangbao Town. A large number of guerrillas have also been found in the mountains on both sides. Our preliminary estimate is that the enemy is here. The number of people stationed in this area should be around tens of thousands.
In addition, according to the intelligence sent by the Commander-in-Chief, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas who were originally active in the mountainous areas of southern Guangling County have also begun to show signs of moving here. "Chief of Staff of the 114th Division, Kotori Nakafuku, said to Kusaba Tatsuki.
? ?On the battlefield, Tatsumi looked at the combat area, which had been densely marked by the staff with more than a dozen areas where enemy positions might exist. There are also some places where enemy positions have been completely determined.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, asked me to capture Lingqiu County within three days. Now it seems that we need to give him a few more days of grace. We may not be able to defeat it even in five days." Tatsuki Kusaba said.
He has fought against Xia Yang's troops and knows the combat effectiveness of Xia Yang's troops.
At this time, their 114th Division actually only had more than 28,000 people in total, and the enemy troops defending on the opposite side had already occupied favorable terrain. If they wanted to break through this line of defense, they would have to pay a huge effort. The price will do.
"I have reported the situation to the Commander-in-Chief. I believe he can understand our situation and will mobilize troops from other places to assist us in the battle." Xiaoli Zhongfu said.
Kusaba Tatsuki smiled, then put his finger on Taiyuan, pointed at Taiyuan with his finger and said: "Taiyuan, the Commander-in-Chief wants to mobilize troops, the nearest place is Taiyuan. If we can mobilize a division over there, If our troops come to help us fight, this battle will be much easier to fight."
Having said this, he said: "But before that, we cannot hesitate in attacking. We order the captains of each regiment to come to the headquarters for a meeting. We need to formulate a battle plan for tomorrow."
On a mountain peak not far in front of Wangzhuangbao Town, Chen Shiliang could see through his telescope that at the end of the Tang River, the Japanese troops stationed there had planted the sun flag on the nearby mountains.
In order to prevent guerrilla attacks, the Japanese army dispatched many troops and set up defensive positions in the surrounding mountains.
They also set up many positions along the high ground on one side of the Tang River. Some of the strongholds left by the Japanese army here were occupied by them a few days ago, and then they were reinforced and expanded.
"Master, support from the Eighth Route Army has also arrived, and there are quite a few of them. There are three to four thousand people in total." Tan Zijun, chief of staff of the Fourth Division, said to Chen Shiliang.
