This problem is not a good fit for regex. Have you considered parsing the text as HTML instead and then altering the value of allatags'hrefattribute?

Although you should avoid parsing HTML with regex, but since this is a case of anchor tag which won't be nested, hence you can do a quick work using regex. Use this regex to match the data in group1 and group2,
(<as+[^>]*?href=["'][^']*?)_.*?(["'])
and replace it with 12 (or $1$2 as per the language)
Check the demo
You haven't mentioned how should the data be replaced in case there are multiple underscores in the href attribute, so for now I have done it in a way where it replaces everything from first occurrence of underscore but you can easily do it for last occurrence of underscore by making the regex as greedy.
