May 9, 1939, 12 noon. 110th Division of the Japanese Army.
"What" The commander of the division, Yoshio Kimura, had a shocked expression on his face, "How is this possible, how can the 512 Brigade give up attacking my Handan City and go north to Xingtai, this news must be fake."
The commander of the division, Yoshio Kimura, was stunned The Japanese officers present were also stunned They never expected such a news.
The arrival of this news completely broke the defense plan of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army.
Directly made the countless Japanese officers present shake their heads violently, and the voices in their mouths were more full of astonishment than the other.
"Really fake" "The 512 Brigade, with the title of the first brigade of the Chinese army, they are a group of persevering people, how could they withdraw to Xingtai on all fronts" "This must be fake, and even if it is true, it is a conspiracy of the enemy" "No, no, no, there's a good chance it's true."
"I also think it's true" "The triangle formed by the three regions of Xingtai, Hengshui, and Shijiazhuang is the center of gravity of our Imperial Japanese Army's sweep in Hebei."
"Shijiazhuang, in particular, is the railway hub formed by the intersection of the Jinghan Railway and the Zhengtai Railway, and is the most important transportation lifeline of the empire in the North China region."
"Once the 512 Brigade arrives in Xingtai and launches an attack on our army, it is very likely to threaten the security of our railway hub."
"Yaga" "If this is the case, then this will undoubtedly be fatal to our army in Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, and Hengshui."
"That's right, once this really happens, General Sugiyama Moto, the commander-in-chief of our North China Front Army, will definitely blame us."
"Because it's not good for us to intercept it."
For a moment, the expressions of the Japanese officers in the entire command headquarters changed from shocked to shocked in an instant. tremble with fear The triangle of Xingtai, Shijiazhuang, and Hengshui is the highest point of all conflicts, and there is no room for any mistakes "Your Excellency Division Commander, the 512 Brigade will turn north to Xingtai because we are not actively attacking, we did not hold them back, and now the situation is quite serious, I suggest that troops be sent to pursue the 512 Brigade immediately."
Katsuo Edano, the commander of the artillery wing, shouted.
This shout, in the noisy conference room, was particularly prominent, instantly overshadowing all the noise.
Suddenly, there was silence in the meeting room.
The division commander, Yoshio Kimura, also fell into deep thought.
Katsuo Edano continued: "Your Excellency the division commander, you can't hesitate any longer, you must immediately launch a pursuit of the 512 Brigade."
"This, this" For a moment, the division commander, Yoshio Kimura, became struggling.
He knew very well that the main force of the 512 Brigade, more than 15,000 people, would have a huge impact on the entire Hebei war situation if it went north to Xingtai. is fatal But Yoshio Kimura always felt that things were not so simple Or rather, it's too weird Once their 110th Division launched a pursuit, the fortress fortifications they had built in Wu'an County, Fengfeng Mining Area, Cixian County and other places would be completely meaningless.
In order to build dozens of fortresses, the 110th Division spent huge manpower and material resources.
In fact, he also couldn't wait to immediately pursue the 512 Brigade and sweep away the shame of more than ten days.
But Yoshio Kimura has his own concerns.
"If this is the conspiracy of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, then our army will fall into a place of no return." suddenly At this moment, the brigade commander Hiromoto Toyoda, who had not spoken, stood up.
"Your Excellency the division commander, I don't think we need to pursue the 512 Brigade at all" As soon as these words fell, the audience was in an uproar.
All the Japanese officers present, including division commander Yoshio Kimura and wing commander Katsuo Edano, all eyes were focused on Hiromoto Toyota.
At this moment, Hiromoto Toyota is full of glory "Huh" Hiromoto Toyoda clenched his fists and said confidently: "Everyone, think about it, since the main force of the 512 Brigade has gone north, then all this means that the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Shexian, Pingshun County and other places is already overstretched, and the garrison is empty As long as we now take advantage of the fact that the 512 Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has not yet reacted, and completely occupy Shexian and Pingshun County, this is tantamount to cutting off the back road of the 512 Brigade.
If the rear road of the 512 Brigade is cut off, they will become rootless water and a castle in the air At that time, no matter how good they can fight, they can only be slaughtered by us, and they are not at all the opponent of the Tiger and Wolf Division of my 110th Division."
After speaking, the audience was stunned In everyone's eyes, a huge surprise emerged Fighter This is a godsend "If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed."
Hiromoto Toyoda said loudly: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, isn't this the long-awaited victory signal If this battle can be successful, then we will not only be able to defeat the 512 Brigade, raise our eyebrows, and sweep away all the previous declines and shames, but also establish the first merit for the Empire's sweep in North China I, Hiromoto Toyoda, and all of you here, as well as all the officers and men of our entire 110th Division, will become heroes of the empire and be admired by all the people of the empire in future generations."
Hiromoto Toyoda shouted: "Therefore, I suggest that my 110th Division should immediately send troops and quickly occupy Shexian" At this moment, the division commander Yoshio Kimura was moved What a great temptation it is to cut off the rear route of the 512 Brigade and defeat the 512 Brigade by taking advantage of the situation At this moment, a telegram from the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front also reached the headquarters of the 110th Division.
"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, Sugiyama Yuanda will call that the main force of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has confirmed that almost all of them have withdrawn from Shexian and the frontline positions, and not only that, but most of the troops in the three county towns of Pingshun County, Lucheng County, and Licheng County under the control of the 512th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army have also gone north to Xingtai.
General Sugiyama Moto-dai ordered our troops to immediately launch an attack and completely cut off the rear route of the 512 Brigade."
As soon as the words fell, all the Japanese officers in the audience were boiling.
All the people present, one counts as one, and they all shouted excitedly.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you can't hesitate any longer" "This is a sign of our victory" "In this battle, my 110th Division will be Yang Wei North Branch" "His Majesty the Emperor is protecting us in all of this."
"Roaring, Roaring, Roaring" At this moment, the entire 110th Division of the Japanese Army had only one voice.
Offense, offense, offense Hiromoto Toyota: "Your Excellency Division Commander, we will definitely be able to achieve victory" Katsuo Edano: "The significance of this battle will be particularly important" "Bang" At that moment, the division commander Kimura Yoshio no longer made the slightest hesitation, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, order all units of my division and regiment, and counterattack on all fronts" "Hi" All the Japanese officers present responded loudly.
Note: Shijiazhuang in this period was not yet called Shijiazhuang, but was called Shimen City.
At the end of 1947, the Chinese People's Liberation Army conquered Shimen City and all the surrounding counties, and established the first city-centered people's power and the first fortified large city liberated by the People's Liberation Army in Shimen City.
A month later, the Shimen Municipal People's Government issued a notice to rename Shimen City Shijiazhuang.
For the sake of convenience, the minister here called it Shijiazhuang.
