While they were stepping up their efforts to adjust their countermeasures, the Japanese army was also changing their strategies intensively.
The Japanese army had long expected the fall of Luowang Station. x At present, there are still two strongholds in the hands of the Japanese army, Luowangzhai and Shizhai.
These two places are obviously too small for a strong brigade.
The Japanese army has not pinned all its hopes on these two places.
On the stockade, after the Battle of King Luo Station, the first brigade of the 15th Regiment was basically completely wiped out, and the total strength of the entire brigade was only over sixty.
We also have a general understanding of the strength of the army.
If we attack a station, most of the regiment can be dispatched.
Then the squadron facing them will be at least one division.
With tanks and artillery, the frontal strength will be at least two divisions.
According to the previous calculation method of combat power, under the same conditions, a brigade can attack a squadron, and a squadron of troops can attack a regiment in the field, except of course, the A-type army.
The captain of the 15th Regiment, Morita Norimasa, judged from the battle at Rawang Railway Station that the main force on the opposite side was not the Central Army, and the organization of the attack was by no means perfect.
Morita Norimasa was originally worried because he had lost nearly a brigade of troops.
Just as he was talking, his heart felt relieved.
At the same time, a risky but not too bold plan gradually appeared in his mind.
It is said to be a move of defense, but in fact the distance is only a few kilometers.
The march of the troops is about unified action.
Amidst the chaos and noise, the move of defense was completed in just a few kilometers.
The 155th Division of the 64th Army, the 58th Division of the 74th Army and the assault column had just arrived.
Advancing hand in hand, the frontline of the troops was pointed directly at Luowangzhai and Shizhai.
The two key points were Luowangzhai in front and Shizhai slightly behind.
The defensive posture of the Japanese 15th Regiment was also supported by these two points.
The 15th Regiment also has two complete infantry brigades, a communications squadron directly under the regiment, an infantry artillery squadron, a regiment artillery squadron, half a rapid-fire artillery squadron and a field artillery squadron reinforced by the division.
Morita Norimasa did not dare to waste this amount of capital easily, and must use it carefully.
Morita Norimasa put down the telescope in his hand, and the captain of the communications squadron next to him presented the reconnaissance report of the advanced soldiers.
When they started to move forward, the leading troops of the front groups had already sent out advanced soldiers to investigate, and then passed the phone to the wing headquarters.
Morita Norimasa After reading it, I was more certain of my thoughts.
The squadron on the opposite side was at best a B-type army with two divisions.
Although its combat power should not be underestimated, there was nothing to be afraid of.
According to past battle examples, a regiment can repel or even defeat an entire squadron in a field battle without any problem.
Although my regiment has lost nearly one-third of its infantry strength, it still has more than 2,000 men and close to 3,000 troops.
Including the field artillery squadron attached to the division and the wing artillery squadron attached to the regiment, he has eight 75mm caliber mountain field guns.
This number is the number of barreled artillery in a squadron, a division or even an army.
"Order to withdraw all troops from Luowang Village and Shizhai, rely on the prepared fortifications to prepare field troops to strengthen the fortifications, and the second brigade will send small groups of troops to conduct exploratory attacks on the entire line of the center.
The remaining units will prepare Defense preparations, wing artillery squadrons and divisional reinforced field artillery squadrons Placed behind the main force, waiting for orders to fire support, the remnants of the retreated First Battalion, those who can participate in the battle, prepare for battle, serve as a reserve team, the communications squadron, contact the division, prepare the air liaison board, and prepare Request air support and prepare the infantry for anti-tank."
The adjutant who recorded the combat order immediately copied the order and distributed it to all subordinate units.
Morita Norimasa's thoughts can also be seen from this order.
His purpose is no longer just to stick to it, or in other words, at the beginning he was He thought so, and now, what he was thinking about was repelling or even defeating, or breaking through after being severely damaged.
Send a small force to ascertain the specific strength and weakness of the squadron, and find out possible weak points.
If possible, he will lead the 15th Regiment to launch a large-scale counterattack against the opposing squadron, push back and defeat these squadrons.
While the Japanese army was making intensive preparations, opposite the 15th Regiment, the commanders of the squadrons who had just arrived gathered together to plan their plans.
Located in the temporary command post were Qiu Qingquan, the commander of the assault column, and the commander of the 64th Army.
Li Hanhun, the commander of the 155th Division is concurrently served by Li Hanhun, Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division of the 74th Army, and several brigade commanders under the division.
There are only a few people, but it is very interesting.
There are Guangdong Army troops and Central Army troops.
The Central Army troops are also divided.

The 74th Army is under Yu Jishi's system, and the assault column is under Huangpu rookie Du Yuming.
The three troops are subordinate to Of the three factions, what is interesting is that Feng Shengfa and Qiu Qingquan are both from Zhejiang, one is from Zhuji and the other is from Wenzhou.
"Everyone, we are fighting side by side to fight the Japanese aggressors, and we should fight to the death.
However, we must always come up with a way, and we must also come up with a way to cooperate."
Li Hanhun, who had the highest position, spoke first, broke the silence.
"Of course we follow the orders of the commander."
Feng Shengfa stood at attention and replied.
The 58th Division of the 74th Army is a direct line unit.
It was the starting division of Yu Jishi.
It suffered heavy losses in the bloody battles in Shanghai and Nanjing and was reorganized.
Feng Shengfa was the original 8th Division.
A member of the 8th Division system will lead the 58th Division in this battle.
The command difficulties are unknown.
However, in combat, he must not lose his reputation as an elite.
Not to mention risking his own life and taking the lead, but at least he must do his best. .
"I think the order given to us by the superiors is to capture Luowang Station, Luowang Village, and Shizhai.
Then we will do it.
We should use the chariots of my assault column as the vanguard to clear the way, capture Luowang Village all the way, and then attack Shizhai, with the cooperation of friendly forces, we will definitely be able to take it down."
Crazy Qiu had a explosive temper and a straightforward personality.
He said whatever he said, and he was right.
The other two people also thought so, but Qiu Qingquan's expression was a bit awkward, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while.
"Ahem, okay, Brother Qiu is straightforward and what he said makes sense.
It's exactly what I thought.
The current situation is that our 155th Division is in the middle, with Brother Qiu's assault column on the left and rear, and Brother Feng on the right.
The 58th Division, I mean, according to this arrangement, the troops on both sides move forward and strive to advance hand in hand. , prepare to attack.
Brother Qiu's troops are mainly tanks and anti-aircraft guns, which are not suitable for taking the initiative to attack.
It happens that our division is on the right side of Brother Qiu, leaving the front side of the Japanese position to our two divisions, but we can launch an attack.
The attack is also safe and convenient, I don’t know what you two think.”
Li Hanhun threw out the battle plan that he had already prepared.
The core content of this plan is to launch an attack on the Japanese army with the division as the main force and the assault column as the cooperation, capture Luowang Village and Shizhai, and compress the Japanese army to the rear as much as possible and defeat it.
There is nothing wrong with this plan.
Qiu and Feng had roughly the same idea.
It was very in line with the current situation.
However, the enemy on the opposite side also wanted to attack the squadron facing them.
Unintentionally:
