While Dragon Boat Festival quickly launched into action, the little devil also couldn't sleep at night.
Itaheng Seishiro of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army has received news from the Royal Guards, saying that they have found the Chinese unit that made a surprise attack on Dongping County, and that the leader of Tianhong personally led his people to surprise the enemy. There will be unexpected gains.
Itaheng Seishiro was naturally happy, but before this telegram could warm his hands, the Royal Guards sent news again, saying that the mission had failed. Master Tianhong encountered a powerful enemy and returned injured.
When Banheng Seishiro saw this, he wanted to scold his mother, and thought to himself: Are you kidding me? After a while, he said that he had discovered the enemy, and then went out to attack the enemy by surprise. As a result, the day's work was not done, and he was defeated miserably. And isn’t Tianhong known as the Ten Thousand Dharma Celestial Sect? Don’t you know any martial arts? how? Not working?
So at this time, Itaheng Seishiro really felt that the Imperial Alliance Army was unreliable, and he still needed to plan his own offensive strategy.
However, the Royal Guards did something that satisfied him, which was to find the unit of the 56th Army that had made a surprise attack in Dongping County.
In other words, until now, he still doesn't know that it was the Dragon Boat Festival Independent Regiment that attacked Dongping County, and he always mistakenly thought it was the 56th Army.
He found the location of Wudaogou on the map and cursed: Baga, the Chinese are so good at hiding that they actually hid in the mountains.
However, he had to admire the other party for not leaving even after fighting in Dongping County and continuing to stay in Wudaogou.
So what is this Chinese force going to do? Is it just a pain in the ass, or is there some other conspiracy?
"The strategic significance of Wudaogou is too small. Apart from being suitable for Tibetans, it is of no use at all. It is located in the air between the imperial army going south and west. It is simply a dispensable place."
Itaheng Seishiro scratched his head. He circled the five ditches on the map again and again with a red pen, and then began to pace around the office.
Ever since Dongping County was attacked, the Bantian Regiment lost an infantry brigade. Coupled with the losses of Pingyin and the Waste City Imperial Army, he had not had much rest for a day.
But he just couldn't sleep. Even when he lay down, he was thinking about why the 56th Army suddenly attacked Dongping County so suddenly.
Of course, if Dongping County is a dispensable town, forget it. He is preparing to develop Dongping County into a comprehensive supply depot for attacking the 56th and 55th armies.
Moreover, at least two groups of troops will pass through Dongping County and attack the 55th Army and the 56th Army respectively.
So he even doubted whether the intelligence was leaked.
And it is not impossible. When the Japanese army was singing and killing all directions, they also discovered a problem. Their interior was being infiltrated by the enemy. And these enemies are deeply hidden. For example, the loss of his fifth division at Pingxing Pass was due to intelligence leakage.
Therefore, Itaheng Seishiro had to guard against this.
Of course, it was useless to think about it now, because each of those traitors said that they were loyal to the imperial army, and he had no way of telling them apart.
And many times, the results of the investigation point to their Imperial Japanese Army. This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world. Could it be that the Imperial Japanese Army would sell out information to its enemies and then let the enemies destroy them?
Therefore, Itaheng Seishiro was also puzzled by this matter.
He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it. In the end, he focused all his attention on Wudaogou. No matter what the enemy's purpose was, this force could not be allowed to be stationed here openly. He had to mobilize his troops to deal with it. This unit of the 56th Army carried out encirclement and suppression, and also had to contain other Chinese units so that they had no chance to reinforce them.
However, the troops he could mobilize were limited, and there were only the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army under his Fifth Division. And he also has to ensure the safety of his supply lines.
Because there was going to be a war, and all kinds of military supplies were being shipped from North China in a steady stream, he couldn't lose the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
Thinking of this, Banheng Seishiro once again focused his attention on the area near Wudaogou.
The closest place to here is Dongping County, but in Dongping County, not only more than a hundred imperial soldiers were killed in the last attack, but even the local security group was missing.
Of course, Ban Hengzhengshiro would never have imagined that most of the security regiment in Dongping County would be annihilated, while a small number of them would escape, and the rest, except for those officers who would be shot, would be sent back to the 56th Army in Dragon Boat Festival and handed over to Liao Guangyi for disposal .
And some people were taken away by Ma Ping'an. This horse is safe, picks up everything, and wants everything.
Of course, people also have their own methods. No matter who they are, if they come to him and do some ideological work, they will become revolutionary comrades.
But Duanwu didn't have that time, and these people followed Wu Zhiwen and defected to the Japanese. It was good that Duanwu didn't kill them. How could he recruit them into his independent regiment?
These people are different from the puppet troops who were recruited by the Dragon Boat Festival. These puppet soldiers did not take the initiative to defect to the Japs, but the Japs were menacing. Seeing that they could not defeat them, they surrendered in order to save their lives.
Later, when the Japs treated them like slaves, these people were aroused to resentment. Therefore, although these people were indeed a little afraid of death, they were still able to fight against the Japs when they were forced to have no other choice.
So those puppet troops stayed in Dragon Boat Festival, but as for those in the Pistol Brigade, Dragon Boat Festival didn't want any of them.
Of course, the old Japanese soldier Seishiro Itashiro didn't know this. He simply thought that the soldiers from the security group were missing.
Because that is a security group of seven to eight hundred people. Even if they are all pigs, the 56th Army will have to arrest them for a while, right?
Therefore, it was indeed a headache for Ban Hengzhengshiro that Dongping County was beaten. Because not only Dongping County was lost, but the imperial troops in Ningyang, Feicheng, and Pingyin were also lost.
"It seems that we have to use the First Division of the Royal Association Army. This division is still very combat effective. An infantry brigade will be transferred from the First Division, and then the infantry brigade that will reinforce the Bantian Regiment will be used as the commander, and a part of the Royal Army will be transferred from Sishui County. Guard.
Feicheng's soldiers and horses will not move for the time being. Feicheng's 11th Regiment suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. Damn it, Pingyin's imperial army can't move either, they have to be kept to deal with the 55th Army. It seemed that we could only transfer some more people from the Kunisaki detachment. "
Itahashi Seishiro murmured to himself, really scratching his head, but he still issued a combat order to reinforce the 1st Division of the Imperial Association Army with a section of the 42nd Regiment of the Sakata Regiment, and a regiment of the Royal Guards, plus A section of the 41st Regiment, with a total of nearly 10,000 people, went straight to Wudaogou!
