"If these devils come from Peiping and Baoding."

"Proof that Okamura Neji is replenishing troops for the Baoding garrison."

"The brigade that the only regiment killed may have been just the vanguard, or it may have been all the troops in Peiping to supplement Baoding."

"Until we understand the true strength of the Baoding garrison, any oversight will bring us disaster."

"We must stand still and wait for the little devil to make his move first, and then we will attack him later."

…………

Headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in Peiping.

Okamura Neji was very angry. He clenched his fists so hard that his veins were exposed. He wanted to smash everything on the table in front of him.

I took several deep breaths before forcing myself to calm down.

He picked up the telegram sent by Major General Kawasaki again, read it again and said: "A fully formed troop brigade was wiped out by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army before it entered Baoding."

"This is definitely a great shame and humiliation for the North China Front Army."

"The Eighth Route Army in the Wing..."

"I, Okamura Neji, swear that I will wipe them all out in the next big sweep."

"The other two brigades will go south immediately."

"If the troops are also attacked by the Eighth Route Army, they can only rely on railways and military trains to wait for help, and they must not take the initiative to attack."

After saying that, he turned his attention to the chief of staff: "How many cavalry do we still have?"

"Two brigades, more than 900 cavalry..." The chief of staff did not dare to cause displeasure to the commander at this time, so he quickly answered.

"Immediately dispatch a brigade to reinforce Baoding..." Okamura Neji made a decision after hearing this.

"The Baoding garrison only has five cavalry squadrons..."

"The Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong is too cunning."

"I'm afraid this little cavalry isn't enough to fill their teeth."

"With a thousand cavalry patrolling along the railway, it will take a lot of effort for the Eighth Route Army in the Wing to eat them."

"Other patrols can take the opportunity to surround us and annihilate the Eighth Route Army along the railway."

…………

At the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Major General Kawasaki smiled as soon as he received a call back from Neji Okamura.

Before, he was worried that Okamura Neiji would be angry with him and take away the position of commander of the Baoding garrison under his butt, but now he doesn't need to be afraid.

Although the telegram didn't say it clearly, the sudden appearance of a cavalry brigade as reinforcements showed that the commander still supported him.

No matter what I say this time, I can no longer live up to the commander's high expectations and let the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong play tricks.

He ran to the city gate in person to see the patrol off.

Lieutenant Colonel Cun Shang stood aside as the commentator.

"General..."

"In order to increase the patrol's maneuvering speed and firepower allocation."

"I reinforced each infantry brigade with a transport squadron."

"With one hundred and fifty mules and horses."

"The heavy weapons and ammunition in the team are all transported by mules and horses."

"After receiving the reinforcement order, the patrol team can turn around and be on its way without any preparation."

"The cavalry force has nine cavalry squadrons, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lin Mu."

"Activities around Guanjiapu..."

"It is located in the center of our military defense area. No matter which stronghold or checkpoint is attacked, they can rush to the battlefield within fifty minutes."

"The terrain along the railway is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry assaults."

"If you can't defeat the Eighth Route Army, you can also hold them back so that they don't dare to break out casually, otherwise they will be mercilessly hunted by the cavalry troops.
