The adjutant reminded Itakami Seishiro in one sentence that since Li Ping's main force had been trapped here, their so-called base area was extremely empty, and the imperial army should sweep it up.

"Yo Xi, your idea is very good, order the cavalry wing, and target the occupied area of the independent brigade within the territory of Ping County."

"Hi"

The cavalry wing, having received the order, quickly assembled and swarmed away under the command of the wing commander.

A scout ran over and immediately reported: "Brigade commander, the devil cavalry turned and killed our base area." ”

Li Ping's face sank, now it depends on how the political commissar prepares, the base area will still be destroyed this time.

The cavalry wing left, and Itakami Seishiro stared at the mountains and forests with a bloodthirsty smile, he not only wanted to destroy the Eighth Route here, but also weakened the trust of the Eighth Route in the hearts of the Chinese people.

The gunfire in the mountains and forests rang out intermittently, and both sides were helpless against each other for the time being, and on the other side, the three wings of the other five regiments of the encirclement and suppression of the independent brigade also divided their troops to attack, but with the change of place, these regiments were not in danger for the time being, and what they were worried about now was to stay at the headquarters in Pingxian.

The commanders of the independent brigade were worried about Li Ping, and the heads of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also looked at the map and had no choice.

"Boss, the ministries have sent telegrams, they have been entangled by devils, and there is no way to support the independent brigade."

After the chief of staff finished speaking, the boss sighed, looked at the map of Pingxian County, his fingers trembled a little, and said in a low tone: "Now I can only rely on Li Ping himself, did they send a telegram?" ”

The chief of staff shook his head, and the boss let go of his worries a little, no news is not necessarily a bad thing, I hope Li Ping can go through this hurdle.

Li Ping, who was worried about the headquarters, did not know that he had led his troops to fight with the devils in the mountains and forests for three days, and the devils still showed no signs of withdrawing their troops.

The chief of staff ran over with an anxious face: "Brigade commander, the political commissar of the base area has sent a telegram that the devil's cavalry wing is destroying in our base area, and the political commissar asks us if there is a way." ”

Li Ping's face was gloomy, and he asked, "Political commissar, are they okay?" ”

"The commissar is fine, it's just that the devil cavalry wing doesn't seem to be ready to retreat, so they have been sweeping the base area."

Li Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was difficult to look at in an instant, the devil swept like this, if his troops did not appear again, the people would definitely complain a lot, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to do the work in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Ping raised his head and asked the chief of staff, "How is the situation of the other regiments?" ”

"Brigade commander, they sent a telegram, they can drag the devils in their respective directions, but there is no way to support us."

Li Ping sighed in his heart, there are advantages and disadvantages of dividing troops, and if you can disperse to deal with devils, it will be difficult to concentrate and eliminate devils with superior forces.

Li Ping lowered his head and thought silently, now the breakthrough is here, if the devil sees that he can't destroy himself in a short time, Itakami Seishiro will definitely disperse the artillery wing to support other directions, then his plans will all be in vain.

We must not let the devils divide their troops to support again, this is Li Ping's determination in his heart, if the artillery is dispersed again, then the troops in other directions will also suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Li Ping was murderous, since the devil wanted to have a hard time for himself, then he would fight for himself.

"Chief of Staff, you take the new regiment to the hiding place of our artillery battalion and attract the devil's infantry wing over."

"I took the troops of the independent regiment and contacted the artillery wing of the devil after contacting the cavalry battalion."

After Li Ping finished speaking, the chief of staff nodded heavily, he also knew that now was the most dangerous moment, and they had to fight back.

The chief of staff began to make a detour with his troops, and Li Ping also retreated slightly with his troops.

The calmness of the mountains and forests made Itakami Seishiro feel that something was wrong, and immediately asked the signal soldier to come over: "Yaga, what the hell is going on?" How did the gunfire stop. ”

The signal corps was about to go to the front line to inquire, and a devil squadron leader ran over: "Division commander, the front line has found that the Eighth Route has suddenly retreated, and we are pursuing." ”

"Yo Xi, I see, order the troops, entangle them, and can't let them escape."

"Hi"

The chief of staff took the troops back to the hiding place of the artillery battalion and immediately ordered: "The troops immediately establish a defensive line, and we will fight an offensive and defensive battle with the devils here." ”

The pursuing devils quickly exchanged fire with the soldiers, and the devils saw that Balu was not fleeing, and immediately prepared to attack and surround them.

Looking at the devils who had gathered over, the chief of staff immediately ordered: "Let the artillery battalion open fire, but be careful of the devil's artillery." ”

The roaring explosion made the attacking devil pale, and the artillery was actually hidden here in the Eighth Road.

"Baga, report to the division commander immediately, and let the artillery wing support us." , the captain of the infantry wing turned pale, and he still went to the eighth road when he turned around.

The roar and the telegram received in his hand made Itakami Seishiro angry, and he turned his head to the signal soldier: "Baga, immediately let the artillery wing calculate the position and knock out the artillery of the Eighth Road." ”

The chief of staff was fighting here, and Li Ping listened to the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance, expecting the chief of staff to hold on.

"Brigade commander, my special operations team has completed reconnaissance, and the devil's artillery wing has gathered together, and now it is preparing to split troops to support the devils who are attacking the chief of staff."

Li Ping raised his head, full of murderous aura, and said: "Huzi, you take a special combat team and give you another battalion, you want to destroy the artillery reinforcements, understand?" ”

"Yes, Brigadier General"

Huzi took more than 30 special combat teams, plus a battalion assigned to him by Li Ping, and hundreds of people disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Ping continued to advance with the remaining troops, walking out of the mountains and forests, Li Ping picked up a telescope to observe the devil artillery wing in the distance.

"Brigade commander, the devil is really arrogant, you see these artillerymen are so lazy." , Captain Zhou, who was beside Li Ping, put down the binoculars and sneered.

Li Ping shrank down and said softly: "We are surrounded by devils in the mountains, of course they can rest assured, these devils have never looked down on our Eighth Route Army. ”

The two were talking, and a signal corpsman ran over: "Brigade commander, the position has been issued to the cavalry battalion, and it will take them another hour to arrive." ”

Li Ping nodded, for an hour, but I don't know if the chief of staff can resist: "Send a telegram to the chief of staff, be sure to entangle the devil's infantry wing, we need time." ”

The telegram was sent, and the chief of staff looked at the devils who came up from the siege with red eyes, and all that remained was to hold on.

Li Ping was anxious, but Itakami Seishiro was full of smiles, the front-line troops had reported that the troops of the Independent Brigade had no possibility of retreating.

A signal soldier ran over, and the cheerful Itakami Seishiro looked at him, and the signal soldier looked anxious: "Division commander, the artillery squadron that came over for reinforcement was intercepted by the Eighth Route and asked for support." ”

"Baga, how could Balu run behind us, order a squadron to support, and be sure to escort the artillery unit over."

"Send a telegram to the commander of the artillery wing and tell them to be on guard."
