China has a vast land and a large forest, so naturally there are all kinds of birds.

Especially in the war era, there is no shortage of traitors who betray the country and seek glory.

According to the information provided by these traitors, the Japanese army has learned that there is a large anti-Japanese armed force that is very active in the Lingchuan area.

And according to the joint speculation of multiple intelligences, this anti-Japanese armed force is very likely to be the Tiger Ben Regiment that disappeared from Xinxiang.

Therefore, the 4th Independent Cavalry Wing and the Tengchuan Wing were actually prepared by the Japanese army in North China to deal with the Tiger Regiment.

It was just a sudden change that Changzhi Airport was attacked by the 358th Regiment, and the Japanese army had to temporarily change its strategy and send out the 4th Cavalry Independent Wing and Tengchuan Wing together to support Changzhi.

At the same time, all the devils and puppet soldiers scattered in the large and small strongholds outside the city were recalled to Pingshun, and they became shrinking turtles in the city.

The purpose of the devils is very clear, before their troops are insufficient and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, they must give priority to protecting Binh Thuan, a strategic town in the southeast of Jin.

As for other strongholds outside the city, passes, etc., it is not so important.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Chen led the Tiger Ben Regiment to attack the troops, and was able to drive straight into Pingshun City without being discovered by the devils.

After encircling the entire county town, Yang Chen immediately commanded the troops to prepare for the attack.

The artillery battalion, as well as the artillery batteries of the rest of the battalions, were deployed on the spot, and they all set up artillery positions at the fastest speed.

After getting ready, Yang Chen came to the running position in the south of the city, waved the long knife in his hand forward, and shouted: "Open the cannon!" Boom to Lao Tzu! ”

The south gate was the main attack point, and Yang Chen concentrated most of the artillery forces here.

As a rapid march, although the Tiger Regiment did not carry heavy artillery, it brought over most of the small and medium-caliber artillery, including seventy or eighty guns of various caliber below 75mm.

Excluding heavy artillery, the scale of its firepower has already surpassed the running group of a division of the Japanese army.

Therefore, as soon as the fire was fired, almost a hundred cannons fired in unison, and more than 70 scorching shells burst out of the chamber one after another, rising with fire.

Like a meteor shower, it swept towards the county town of Pingshun, which was shrouded in darkness.

On the south gate building, several devil sentries who were carrying Type 38 rifles on their backs and standing guard under the light were startled by the group of cannonballs that came through the sky with the firelight, and looked ahead in amazement.

One of the devils was surprised, "Nani? What is it? Could it be that the meteor shower is not successful? ”

Another devil sentry replied, "Oh my God! Meteor showers come from the sky! This is artillery fire, but how can there be such large-scale artillery fire? ”

"Yaga! Not good! ”

As soon as several devil sentries reacted, before they could make any moves, dozens of high-explosive grenades smashed down on their heads and faces.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom! ——”

Dozens of high-explosive grenades exploded one after another, and the continuous explosion sound was as terrifying as the sky and the earth cracked, and countless broken shrapnel flew wildly with the shock wave, destroying an object, including the city gate building.

In the skyrocketing fire, the entire gate building was blown up and collapsed, and a raging fire ignited.

As for the dozens of devils and puppet soldiers in front of the city tower, they were blown up on the spot, and they didn't even have a chance to pee.

More shells fell on the nearby walls, as well as on the open spaces and buildings inside and outside the walls.

For a time, the entire buildings inside and outside the South City Gate continued to collapse and be damaged.

As the explosions continued to sound, huge scarlet flames rose into the air one after another.

At first glance, the entire southern part of the city was in flames.

What's even more terrifying is that this is the first wave of shelling by the Tiger Regiment, and before the devils in the city can react, the second wave of shelling by the Tiger Regiment, has arrived as scheduled.

This time, the destructive power was even greater, and the city wall of the South City Gate, which had been blown up by the first wave of bombardment and was crumbling, collapsed directly, and a large area was dumped.

The devils and puppet soldiers in the city had finally recovered from the great shock, and they all rolled over and got up, picked up weapons and rushed out of their respective barracks and garrisons in a panic.

Takeda Jiang was the commander guarding the county town of Binh Thuan, and at that time, the old devil had just lay down and fell asleep when he was awakened from his sleep by the sound of a violent explosion.

Listening to the violent explosion that shook the ground outside and seemed to destroy the world, the old devil was so frightened that he didn't even bother to wear shoes and coats, so he quickly ran to his headquarters to find out the situation.

There was already a devil staff officer on duty at the headquarters, and he was really anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and it was winter, but sweat couldn't stop oozing from his forehead.

Seeing Takeda Jiang coming, the devil staff officer immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Your Excellency Dazuo, something is wrong, the south gate has been violently shelled by unknown forces!" ”

On the way over, Takeda Jiang had already realized from the violent explosions and the skyrocketing fire how terrifying the enemy's artillery fire was.

So he immediately raised his voice and ordered: "The enemy's must have learned that Pingshun County has insufficient troops and wants to take the opportunity to capture this place!"

Immediately report the situation to Taiyuan and ask for reinforcements!

In addition, quickly mobilize all the garrison forces in the city, rush to the south gate, and no matter what, you must hold the city gate, and never let the enemy attack in! ”

The staff adjutant on the side said with a heavy face: "Your Excellency Dazuo, please forgive me for being blunt, judging from the movements in the south of the city, the incoming enemy army must be strong, and it is by no means an ordinary China. Army!

There was information before, and the Tiger Ben Regiment was entrenched in the Lingchuan area to recuperate.

Since this enemy army was able to so skillfully seize the gap between the 4th Independent Cavalry Wing and the Tengchuan Wing to rush out of the city to aid Changzhi Airport, it must be Lingchuan's Tiger Regiment!

Judging from the past examples, even tens of thousands of imperial troops are not the opponent of the Tiger Ben Regiment, with only more than 1,000 imperial troops in the city, plus more than 2,000 unusable Imperial Cooperative Army, if you want to deal with Yang Chen's Tiger Ben Regiment, it is undoubtedly an egg to hit a stone.

Therefore, it is suggested that while the county seat has not yet been surrounded, we might as well take the initiative to give up Pingshun and retreat in the direction of Licheng.

Judging from the previous battle columns, the Tiger Ben Regiment is only good at attacking, as well as mountain defense.

This kind of city defense battle is something they are not good at.

As long as we preserve the living forces, when the reinforcements and other reinforcements arrive, combined with the ground-air firepower advantage of the imperial army, we can not only recapture this place in one fell swoop, but even annihilate the Tiger Regiment! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words of this devil staff officer fell, the angry Takeda Jiang slapped him fiercely, and roared very angrily: "Baga Ya Road! Your stupid big drop!

When did I ever fear the heroic Imperial Japanese Army?

Moreover, Pingshun County is a strategic place in the southeast of Jin, and it is also the imperial army in southeast China. How can the forward fortress of the military confrontation be abandoned like this?

Do you want me to be a sinner in the Empire?

And ......"
