Chapter 191: The Battle of Ping'an County (1)
Hao Shao looked at the contents of the document, his brows gradually furrowed, it seemed that their previous speculation had come true, but the national government did not know if it was to deliberately embarrass the instructor, or if it had other purposes. There is also the clamor www.biquge.info of the Japanese, but the clamor is still action.
Hao Shao frowned and handed the document back to Yu Yang: "What about Zhao Gangren?" "Although Hao Shao is only a company commander, he is not lower than Zhao Gangzhi in terms of rank.
Yu Yang took the document and said: "Since yesterday morning, there has been an abnormal transfer of devils around Ping'an County! He went to various front-line positions to observe the situation! ”
"Can you confirm the purpose of their transfer?" Hao Shao hurriedly asked, he only hoped that the bloodbath on the telegram was just a threat. At present, there is only one regiment in Ping'an County, but there are at least three wings around Ping'an County, and the Japanese have the railway as a support, so they can support at least three wings from the surrounding area in a short time.
Hao Lian's question was not answered by Yu Yang, because this already involved military secrets, and although the person in front of him was in Wang Lei's house, he had not seen it before.
Seeing that Yu Yang didn't speak, Hao Lian also knew what was going on, he took out his ID from his body and showed Yu Yang: "Comrade Yu Yang! I am Hao Shao, a major general of the Eighth Route Army, and this is my ID! ”
After confirming Hao Shao's documents, Yu Yang spoke: "Comrade Hao Shao! Although the whereabouts of the devils are unknown now, the locations where they all gather are around Ping'an County! It is very likely that their purpose is Ping'an County. ”
Hao Shao: "How many troops have gathered now!" ”
"It's already more than 3 wings!"
"How can there be so many! Didn't they leave any troops on defense? Hao Shao frowned, now the devil's strength in North China is not much, and the strength of 3 wings here is still because there are 343 brigades of the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army nearby, but now they have actually assembled 3 wings, are they really not defending?
"Comrade Hao Shao may not know that in the previous Battle of Nameless Valley, the Sakata Brigade stationed in Ping'an County was disabled, and the Japanese army later mobilized the 1st Army, the 5th Division, the 9th Brigade, and the 11th Wing of the Japanese Army on the front line to come and garrison. However, before the 11th Wing arrived, Ping'an County was captured by the Independent Regiment, so recently they have been stationed in Fengxiang County, and there has been constant friction with the Independent Regiment. Yu Yang explained.
"What is the situation of the 343 Brigade now?"
"Brigade Commander Chen is transferring troops, but this time the devils are assembled too suddenly, and it will take at least two days for the vanguard to arrive in Ping'an County!"
"Then is there any reaction from the nearby Jin Sui army now?" Hao Shao frowned and asked, the current situation can be said to be very critical, and the only hope is the nearby Jin Sui army.
Yu Yang shook his head and sighed, now there is no obvious army movement in the Jin Sui army.
Hao Shao wanted to say something, but Wang Lei waved his hand to stop: "Forget it!" Hao Shao, let's go in person! ”

Fengxiang County, inside the Japanese army headquarters, Nagano Yuichi looked excitedly at the map on the wall and the telegram on the table, it was a copy from the Taiyuan Army Army Headquarters, and there was only one order, that is, to take Ping'an County as soon as possible.
The county seat of Heian has always been a problem for Yuichi Nagano, since his participation in the holy war, this is the only defeat in his military career, and the only defeat, this is his shame, he once vowed to wash away this shame with the blood of the independent regiment. However, after his troops arrived at Fengxiang County, the order given to him by the Taiyuan Army Headquarters was to help defend Fengxiang County, and ordered him not to attack Ping'an County without permission.
Yesterday morning, the Taiyuan Army Headquarters issued an order, ordering the garrisons of Fengxiang County, Hanyang Town, and Daye Town in the vicinity of Ping'an County to transfer troops and form a mixed brigade with the 11 Wing, with Yuichi Nagano as the commander-in-chief and Tetsujiro Yamada as the deputy commander-in-chief, and it is bound to take Ping'an County within three days.
A day has passed since the order was received, and now all the troops have been assembled and ready to go to the front at any time.
Yesterday, Yuichi Nagano and Tetsujiro Yamada had already drawn up a plan, they would launch a general attack on the county seat of Ping'an tonight, and the garrisons of Hanyang Town and Daye Town would launch a feint attack from the east and west of the county town of Ping'an respectively, holding back the first and second battalions of the independent regiment stationed in these two directions, and he would concentrate the superior forces of the 11th Wing and the 41st Wing of Tetsujiro Yamada to carry out a fierce attack on the third battalion of the independent regiment stationed in the north of the county town of Ping'an. As long as the third battalion of the Independent Regiment is eliminated, then they can tear a huge gap in the defense line of Ping'an County on the Eighth Road. According to the intelligence of the special high school, the Eighth Route Independent Regiment now mainly concentrates its troops in the east, west, and north of Ping'an County, and there are less than 500 troops stationed in Ping'an County. As long as they tore a hole in their defensive line, they could attack the county seat of Ping'an directly or attack the first and second battalions located to the east and west of them from behind.
And after receiving the order from the Taiyuan Command, Yuichi Nagano left and sent his proud commando team to infiltrate around Ping'an County, their task is to find and destroy the enemy's hidden anti-aircraft artillery positions, so that the fighters that are ready to take off at any time at Yuncheng Airport can enter the battlefield, as long as the aircraft can play a role, Yuichi Nagano is 90% sure to take Ping'an County.

……
In the north of Ping'an County, Shilidian, here is the first line of defense built by the Independent Regiment in the north of Ping'an County, and the 3rd Battalion of the Independent Regiment is stationed here. Now, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on this line of defense have entered a state of full alert to guard against the Japanese troops who have assembled in Fengxiang County.
At noon, Zhao Gang has been inspecting the defense line here since he arrived here: "Third battalion commander! What happened to the Japanese army in Fengxiang County now? ”
The commander of the third battalion, Huang Shoutao, is a middle-aged man of average to thin stature, and he is now inspecting the defense line built by the soldiers: "Regiment commander! Just now, the news came from the notice of the spy platoon, and the little devils in Fengxiang County are now almost all concentrated in Fengxiang County, and there has been no movement! But now that the sky is about to get dark, the little devil has not moved, is it possible that the little devil will not move until tomorrow? ”
Zhao Gang looked at the entire position with a telescope: "I suspect that the Japanese are preparing to fight at night!" ”
"Night fights? Head! We're good at night fighting. The little devils usually rely on them to have planes to be so fierce during the day, and now the little devils are fighting with us at night, so they don't cut off their arms and fight us! Their commander isn't so stupid, is he? "Regarding Zhao Gang's statement that the devil may launch a night battle, the third battalion commander Huang Shoutao is a little unbelievable!
