Chapter 96: Siege
At night, on the top of a hill far away from Ping'an County, Zhao Gang had already lurked here with the second battalion of the Independent Regiment. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Today, after Wang Lei left, he immediately began to assemble troops and arrange combat missions. In order to conceal the troops, the troops began to move after nightfall and arrived at the designated position in accordance with the combat instructions, and the second battalion led by Zhao Gang was the main force to attack Ping'an County.
On the top of the hill outside Ping'an County, Zhao Gang looked at Ping'an County in the distance with the telescope in his hand: "First battalion commander, how are you preparing?" ”
"Regiment commander, the nearby telephone lines have been destroyed, the first battalion is ready, as long as the time comes, the first battalion can quickly uproot the nearby enemy strongholds, but our time is only one night, and the enemy in the nearby county will definitely be aware of the loss of contact with Ping'an County! Of course, the premise is that Wang Lei's things have an effect! "Because the combat missions of the first battalion are relatively scattered, the commander of the first battalion came to Ping'an County with Zhao Gang.
"I believe in Wang Lei!" Zhao Gang said very firmly.
Zhao Gangneng agreed to Wang Lei's plan, in addition to the current shortage of troops in Ping'an County, the most important thing is that Wang Lei promised to make the radio in Ping'an County lose contact with the outside world. Now the Japanese army has three kinds of contact, one is telephone communication, and now the first battalion has destroyed the surrounding telephone lines, and their phones can no longer be called; The second is to send cavalry to inform, but now there are checkpoints set up by soldiers of the first battalion of the independent regiment on the roads around Ping'an County, and Zhao Gang can guarantee that there will not be a car, a horse, or a person passing through these checkpoints during this time. The last and most important thing is the radio station, every Japanese army unit has a signal corps and is equipped with a radio station, the radio they can't stop at all, this is also the reason why Zhao Gang does not dare to attack even if he knows that the troops in Ping'an County are insufficient now, once the enemy starts to fight, he can request support from the nearby county town through the radio, and the Japanese can transport it with all their strength in trucks, the enemy can arrive in half an hour, and then they may face the enemy's encirclement, so that the independent regiment may suffer a big loss, and Zhao Gang does not dare to attack Ping'an County in peacetime. But before Wang Lei left, he promised him that he could make the entire Ping'an County radio unable to transmit during the entire battle. Although I don't know how Wang Lei did it, after many cooperations, Zhao Gang chose to believe him, and I booked the attack time, of course, Zhao Gang also has some arrangements just in case.
Now as long as they ensure that Ping'an County cannot be contacted by the outside world during this time, then they can capture Ping'an County.
At 12 o'clock in the evening, the outposts on the outskirts of Ping'an County suddenly heard the sound of fires and explosions, and the soldiers standing guard on the castle tower were startled, and they quickly called the nearby strongholds to inquire, but the phone never worked. At this moment, a cannonball accurately landed on the tower of the county seat of Ping'an County, and many enemies continued to pour out in the night!
"Enemy Attack !!" Seeing the enemies constantly pouring out, the soldiers on the city tower instantly sounded the alarm! The Japanese soldiers at the gates of the city immediately entered the fortifications and prepared to defend!
The battle started in an instant! However, the soldiers at the gate of Ping'an County were quickly suppressed by the enemy's firepower, and the enemy on the opposite side had countless light and heavy machine guns, and there was artillery support behind them, and the heavy machine gun and mortar positions they had just erected were quickly blown up by the enemy! The fortifications at the city gate were quickly destroyed by the enemy, and all the Japanese troops at the city gate had to retreat into the city, closing the city gate and relying on the city wall to defend it! At the beginning of the battle, the Japanese army went on a negative side.
Yuichi Nagano is a little uneasy today, the phone calls at the nearby bases at night tonight began to be unreachable, although there is a radio base to report that everything is safe, but Yuichi Nagano is still a little uneasy, he has been asking the nearby bases all night if there is anything abnormal, but the radio sent after half past 11 no longer receives any response, just when he was about to send cavalry to inquire about the situation, there was a fierce explosion outside.
"Baga Ya Road! What's going on out there? "Yuichi Nagano has an ominous feeling, now that the army of Heian County is empty, if there is really an enemy attacking the city, it will not be able to hold it at all.
Yuichi Nagano was destined to be disappointed, and soon a communications soldier came back and reported: "Report to Your Excellency Dazuo, the south gate of Ping'an County has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army, ask for support!" ”
"Baga Ya Road! How many soldiers are still in the garrison now! Yuichi Nagano asked one of the captains beside him, this was his henchman Katsuhei Yamaguchi.
"Report to Dazuo! Now there are less than 300 people in the Japanese Imperial Army in Ping'an County! "Yamaguchi Katsuhei has been following Yuichi Nagano since he landed in Dagu and joined the Chinese garrison, from an ordinary soldier to a captain. Now he follows Yuichi Nagano to the county seat of Heian and is responsible for receiving the remnants of Ichiro Sakata.
"Yaga! How can there only be so many people! "Yuichi Nagano could never have imagined that there were only more than 300 people in a county station.
"Your Excellency! When I took over the Sakata Brigade, there were only 551 Imperial soldiers, and after sending some soldiers to garrison the vicinity, there are only 311 Imperial soldiers stationed in Heian now! "In a short period of time, Katsuhei Yamaguchi has completely taken over the remnants of the Sakata brigade.
"Yaga! Ichiro Sakata, this shit! There are only 551 Imperial soldiers left in a brigade of 1,100 Imperial soldiers, he really deserves death! In the end, he died at the hands of the Shina people! He is a disgrace to the Empire! Yuichi Nagano was furious right now.
"Your Excellency! Now is not the time to be angry, we must now resist the attack of the Eighth Road, if we lose the county seat of Ping'an, the base camp will not let us go! ”
"Yamaguchi-kun is right, Yamaguchi-kun ordered to go down and let all the Japanese puppet troops in Ping'an County rush to the west gate, and be sure to guard the west gate! In addition, let the signal corps contact the Taiyuan base camp! We are now understaffed and need support from the base camp! ”
"Your Excellency Dazuo, it's okay for those Imperial Cooperative Army to deal with the common people, but I can't help them deal with the Chinese army!" Katsuhei Yamaguchi has always been uneasy about the Imperial Army.
"Humph! Order a few Imperial soldiers to supervise the battle in the back, and shoot them on the spot if they slack off! ”
"Hay!" Katsuhei Yamaguchi went down to execute Yuichi Nagano, only to soon Katsuhei Yamaguchi returned, and he brought back even worse news: "Nagano Daisa! Our phone was destroyed by the enemy, and our phone outside the county town could not be reached at all! Our radio message has been sent, but why hasn't the base camp replied! ”
"Send cavalry out of the city quickly! Let them contact the nearest stronghold! ”
"I've already sent someone out? Just ......"
