Chapter 55: The Lonely Pingyi (I)
Prepare for the worst and do your best, this is Li Siwei's consistent style!
At night, it was already late, and Pingyi City was still a busy scene, and Li Siwei was directing the young and strong laborers in the city to strengthen the tunnels and barricades overnight.
He was going to race against time to build Pingyi City into a strong fortress...... As he has always said, digging pits and sweating more, and shedding less blood in wartime.
However, this time, he clearly overestimated the offensive power of the little devils.
"Bang ......"
Sporadic gunshots rang out abruptly in the north of the city, which was in the direction of Shunwang Temple.
Li Siwei was startled, hurriedly went to the north gate, and threw down a sentence, "Zhang Yu, you are watching ...... in the city."
The gunshots came very suddenly and disappeared quickly, and Li Siwei understood that it was probably the reconnaissance unit of the special service platoon and the little devil who had encountered.
Sure enough, when he hurried to the north gate position, Huang Hua was reporting the situation to Division Commander Guan, "...... The little devils set up camp in the Shunwang Temple, and it seems that they are going to spend the night there......"
Li Siwei strode over, "Have you figured out the number of people?" ”
Huang Hua was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted Li Siwei, "Report to the head of the group, the number of people is about 1,000...... The brothers still wanted to find out, but unfortunately they were discovered by the little devils. ”
"More than a thousand?" Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and said to the division commander: "Division, it seems that the little devil can't look down on Pingyi City." ”
Master Guan nodded, "From the strategic point of view, Tengxian and Linyi are important places, and the little devil should focus on these two places...... First capture Tengxian and Linyi, and then sweep the surrounding towns. ”
"Well," the crowd agreed, "we don't have enough troops, and so do the little devils!" ”
Master Guan looked around at everyone, "How can I stop this little devil?" ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all knew the combat power of the little devils, as long as there was one negligence, the 66th Division would cease to exist...... After all, there are only a thousand brothers left.
Master Guan looked at Li Siwei, "Li Cannon, don't you have a lot of ghost ideas, let's talk about it." ”
Li Siwei pondered for a while, looked up at Master Guan, and said slowly: "I think it's best to brake quietly...... After all, there are still more than 20,000 people in Pingyi City. ”
Master Guan frowned and sighed, "Yes, there are still more than 20,000 ordinary people in the city...... We can't afford to lose this battle. ”
Everyone was silent, if there were no people in this city, even if they were defeated by the little devils, they could still run, and fight while running, just like in the wild shop market...... However, there are more than 20,000 people in this Pingyi city, and they can't run!
"Then let's hold on!" Li Siwei looked at Division Commander Guan, "I believe that if there are really only more than a thousand little devils, the brothers of the 66th Division can completely bear it!" ”
Wu Tianyou was shocked, and looked at Li Siwei in surprise, "Head Li, is this true?" "He is the head of the security regiment and a member of the Wu family, if you want to say who cares about Pingyi City the most, of course he must be!
Li Siwei looked at him with a serious expression, "It is a matter of life and death for tens of thousands of people, Li does not dare to lie, but with the current combat strength of the sixth division and the sixth division, relying on the fortifications of Pingyi, it is not impossible to block these more than 1,000 little devils!" ”
"That's right," Staff Officer He hurriedly said: "The combat power of the three regiments, He Mou, has seen it with his own eyes, and he can completely confront the little devil head-on without falling into the peak...... Captain Li, your regiment is full of 38 big covers, right? ”
"Well," Li Siwei nodded, "There are also a few machine guns and some grenades, all of which were captured in Yedianji......"
Everyone looked at Li Siwei in surprise, you know, there are still eight or nine hundred brothers in the current three regiments...... That's a huge seizure.
Division Commander Guan looked at Li Siwei with a grim expression, "Li Cannon, why didn't you say it earlier?" Lao Tzu is so good to give you credit. ”
Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head, "Division commander, you are a soldier in your humble position, and it is your duty to kill the enemy and serve the country, so you don't dare to ask for credit." Besides, we should have defended the land and protected the people, but since the battle in Shanghai...... Shame on your duty. ”
"Well," Master Guan nodded slowly, "The North Gate position will be handed over to you, fight this battle first, and talk about other things later." ”
After these battles, Master Guan somewhat understood Li Siwei's thoughts. There are small wins, but what about the big picture? Evacuate from Guangmingji to the north of the Huai River, and from Yashan Village to Pingyi...... It's not an exaggeration to say that the city has lost its land, and what kind of face do you have to ask for merit and reward?
"Yes!" Li Siwei saluted with a "snap".
"Senior Commander Guan," Wu Tianyou hurriedly looked at Senior Commander Guan, "The brothers of the security regiment can also assist Commander Li......"
