People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Time passed unconsciously, and at the end of January, the little devil's swap was completed.

The 52nd Division began to station in the northern Hebei region, and the 53rd Division began to station in the southern Hebei region.

At the same time, two divisions of Sun Shaoyun's puppet army also stationed in the northern Henan region.

Okamura Neiji went to inspect the Japanese and puppet troops one after another, and took his staff to learn more about the situation in Nakatiao Mountain and other areas.

They began to formulate a combat plan in an attempt to launch combat operations and completely capture Zhongtiao Mountain and other areas.

The little devils did not hide these actions at all, and even sent troops time and time again to conduct tentative attacks.

As these troops arrived on the battlefield, Chen Ziyun and other troops faced greater pressure.

They may be hit at any time, resulting in heavy casualties.

By February, the North China Front Army Headquarters made deployments again.

The 41st Division, which was originally stationed in Luzhou City, an important town in southeastern Shanxi, headed to the southern Hebei region to replace the 53rd Division troops stationed here.

As for the troops of the 53rd Division, they were naturally transferred to the southeastern Shanxi region.

It was at this time that the Little Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters issued a combat order.

Okamura Neiji asked the 53rd Division troops to conduct a sweep of the area south of Luzhou City with the cooperation of local puppet troops.

In this combat mission, the little devil is preparing to completely annihilate Ding Wei's detachment operating south of Luzhou City.

After continuous development, Ding Wei's guerrilla detachment can be said to be strong and strong.

In addition to the New Second Regiment, which has more than 3,000 people, they also have five guerrilla brigades, each with about 1,000 troops and fully equipped with Japanese weapons.

The entire guerrilla detachment has more than 8,000 troops, and its overall strength is very strong.

They stationed themselves in the highlands south of Luzhou City, relying on this as their base, and continued to develop in the surrounding areas, carrying out successive operations.

The 41st Division, which was previously responsible for the defense of Luzhou City, had no way to deal with the guerrilla detachment.

This is also the reason why the North China Front Army Headquarters specially transferred the 53rd Division.

They wanted to use the strong combat power of the 53rd Division to quickly eliminate Ding Wei's detachment.

In the North China Front's battle plan, Chen Ziyun's troops, Chu Yunfei's troops, Li Yunlong's troops, and Ding Wei's troops in Zhongtiao Mountain and other areas must be completely annihilated.

Ding Wei's guerrilla detachment is relatively isolated outside Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Japs are confident that they can be annihilated directly.

After the 53rd Division stationed in Luzhou City, the division commander Masaro Baba learned about the situation in detail.

Masaro Baba was born in the cavalry and served as the group leader of the cavalry group.

Later, after the cavalry group was reorganized into a tank division, he was transferred to the 53rd Division as the division commander.

The 53rd Division is the new special division of the Japs, and Baba Masahiro is completely going through the motions.

As long as he serves as the division commander of the division for a period of time, he can be directly promoted to corps commander.

And now that the 53rd Division has been transferred to the North China battlefield, it is a relatively good opportunity for Masahiro Baba.

After all, as long as he commands the troops and obtains sufficient military exploits, with his qualifications, he can be promoted to army commander in advance.

On February 5th, Masahiro Baba held a meeting of officers above the commander of the regiment in Luzhou City.

At this meeting, Masairo Baba made the deployment directly.

They will launch a combat operation on February 8, and strive to end the operation in mid-February and completely eliminate Ding Wei's detachment south of Luzhou City.

At the same time, he also made a decision to completely abandon the puppet troops in Jin Province to cooperate with the operations.

Masahiro Baba prepares to personally command the battle to attack Ding Wei's detachment.

The 53rd Division consists of the 119th Regiment, the 128th Regiment, and the 151st Regiment.

In addition to these three infantry regiments, it is directly subordinate to the search regiment, field artillery regiment, engineer regiment, and baggage regiment. The division has a total strength of more than 18,000 people. Counting non-combatants such as the horse farm, communication teams, and field hospitals, the division has a total strength of 20,000.

In order to win the first battle, Machang normally prepared to dispatch two infantry regiments this time, accompanied by search, field artillery, and engineer regiments.

Five regiments and tens of thousands of troops came to attack Ding Wei's guerrilla detachment.

This time the little devils dispatched the 52nd Division and the 53rd Division to the North China region. They did not cover up anything.

However, these two divisions are new permanent divisions formed by the left-behind soldiers of the elite permanent divisions, and the little devils keep them completely confidential.

So even the first theater and the second theater got relevant news.

In their opinion, the division numbers at such a low level are probably the garrison division, or even the security division, and they would not care.

On the evening of the fifth day, Chen Ziyun received a report from Yan Yu.

Yan Yu handed a war situation report from the second war zone to Chen Ziyun for review.

Chen Ziyun took a look and saw that this was about the recent transfer of the little devil.

"The 53rd Division came to the southeastern Shanxi region and took over the defense mission of the 41st Division in southeastern Shanxi."

"This 53rd Division may be an organized garrison division, and its strength may not be as strong as the 41st Division."

"The analysis here from the chief's department shows that the Japs are starting to go downhill. They are constantly drawing elite troops out of the customs."

"I heard that they have suffered defeats in other battlefields and are in a very difficult situation."

Yan Yu looked at Chen Ziyun and said directly.

Chen Ziyun didn't pay attention at first. After reading the message, he put it aside.

But soon, Chen Ziyun came to his senses. He took the message and looked at it carefully.

Then he came to the map and looked at Luzhou City and other areas.

Others don't know the situation of the 52nd Division and the 53rd Division.

But Chen Ziyun, who has lived for two generations, knows their situation very well.

This is a new permanent division organized by the little devils, but it has certain combat capabilities.

There is definitely a gap between them and the veteran elite permanent divisions.

But compared to these guard divisions, they are definitely more powerful.

The little devil deployed these two divisions in the southeastern Shanxi and northern Henan areas.

Chen Ziyun just glanced at the map and was able to roughly deduce the little Japanese's intention.

"It seems that the little devil is going to launch another combat operation in the near future. I have to contact the various departments."

Chen Ziyun murmured to himself and sent Yan Yu away.

After Yan Yu left, Chen Ziyun immediately set off and contacted Ouyang He, the director of the Communications Office of the 201st Division, directly.

The 53rd Division has entered Luzhou City. This is a very dangerous signal.

At around midnight, Chen Ziyun began to meet Ouyang He in the Yangcheng area.

"What's wrong, you're so anxious to ask me out."

"You are in the limelight now. People are talking about you everywhere."

"Many people say that you may become the youngest army commander."

"I heard that the First War Zone is planning to reorganize your place into a temporary army."

After Ouyang He saw Chen Ziyun, he spoke directly. (End of chapter)
