Why did a huge Japanese army suddenly appear to the west of Pingyi City? It all has to start with the fire of the light set.

In Guangmingji, Li Siwei burned down most of the 13th Division with a fire, which made Lieutenant General Ogizhou want to cry without tears. Fortunately, for some reason, both sides chose to keep it secret...... As a result, Lieutenant General Ogisu had a chance to be ashamed.

The 13th Division was rebuilt in Nanjing, trained for more than a month, and once again marched north vigorously, cooperating with the 9th Division, attacking the city all the way, and approaching the line of the Huai River.

Unfortunately, on both sides of the Huai River, they met with stubborn resistance from the Chinese defenders...... Until the bloody battle of the Huai River, the Japanese army suffered from the enemy on its back, and was no longer able to advance northward, and the whole line retreated to the south bank of the Huai River, forming a confrontation with the defenders.

In desperation, the Japanese base camp formulated a plan to "defend from the south and attack from the north," and the Fifth and Tenth Divisions moved south by two routes, east and west, and directly took Linyi and Tengxian, important places in southern Lunan.

On the side of the national army, the Fifth Theater Command urgently ordered that the 22nd Army be stationed in Tengxian, the Third Army would be stationed in Linyi, and later the 59th Army would be transferred to Feixian.

The 22nd Army was the poorly equipped Sichuan Army, while the 59th Army was the Northwest Army, which had just made a name for itself in the bloody battle of the Huai River...... The Japanese had to urgently transfer the Saito detachment to the east to reinforce Linyi.

The Saito detachment suffered a big loss in Yedianji and returned to Qufu to rest and recuperate...... From Qufu all the way eastward, attacking the city along the way, so not arrogant!

However, Major General Saito was still not happy, because the intelligence showed that the Shina army was in Pyeong-eup Castle, and not long ago, an infantry brigade of Sakamoto's detachment was completely annihilated in Pyeong-eup Castle...... If you don't get rid of this great enemy, how can you be ashamed!

Saito's detachment marched on the avenue and drove straight to Pyongyi Castle, with sappers opening the way, infantry and artillery in the center, armored fighting vehicles following, transport brigades in the center, and infantry brigades behind...... Four or five thousand people are swinging away, mighty, so mighty!

At the headquarters of the detachment, Major General Saito closed his eyes in the chariot and recuperated, and a group of officers sat in danger.

Suddenly, the chariot slowly stopped, and Captain Matsumoto's voice rang out outside the car door, "Report to the general, the Yoshida Wing in the front has arrived in the north of Pingyi Castle and exchanged fire with the defenders." ”

Major General Saito suddenly opened his eyes, pushed the car door and walked down, and sure enough, the cannon roared in the direction of Pingyi, and the smoke of gunpowder was billowing, "Okay, very good...... Pingyi City, tremble in the flames of war! ”

Nakamura Osa followed, and when he heard this, he hesitated, "General, our army was ordered to reinforce Linyi...... There's no need to ...... Waste time in this projectile land! ”

"No," Rear Admiral Saito turned his head and stared at Nakamura Osa tightly, with a cruel smile, "Pingyi is a land of projectiles, but the defenders of Pingyi Castle are a good fighting force, and the Saito detachment will never allow such a dangerous enemy to hide behind them!" ”

"Hey," Nakamura nodded and looked silently at Pingyi City...... That force is a very dangerous enemy!

At the north gate of Pingyi City, cannonballs rained down, and the city wall was shattered and collapsed in an instant......

Yoshida Daisa held the binoculars and carefully scanned Pingyi Castle, his face full of smiles, and suddenly, his smile froze and changed to a puzzled expression...... Pingyi City was full of artillery fire, but there was no figure in sight, let alone a counterattack by the Zhina...... Could it be that Pingyi City is an empty city? No, didn't the intelligence say it, the cunning Shina unit of the Nodianji was stationed in Pingyi City, and it completely annihilated the Mizuno Brigade of the Sakamoto detachment!

"Stop the shelling," Yoshida Osakichi waved his hand, "Prepare to charge!" ”

The three infantry squadrons had already finished lining up, and rushed out in a hurry as soon as they were given the order.

On the opposite side, the defenders' positions remained deadly silent......

The three stormtroopers roared and rushed towards Pingyi City, two miles, one mile, three hundred meters, two hundred meters...... Yoshida Osa stared at Pingyi Castle deadly, not daring to be careless at all.

Sure enough, an officer suddenly jumped out of the binoculars, he waved his hands, shouted, and suddenly defenders appeared on the position, raising their guns and shooting...... The warriors who had already rushed to the front were caught off guard.

"Cover, artillery cover!" Yoshida Osa hurriedly roared, "Boom, boom, boom, boom the position of the Hidaichi people!" ”

"Shhh......h Bang bang bang...... Rumble ......"

The north gate position was filled with gunsmoke, and the scorched earth was flying......

When Yoshida Osa hurriedly looked again, there were no defenders on the gunsmoke-filled position...... Yoshida Daisa was stunned for a moment, are they all mice?

The soldiers of the three regiments are naturally not rats, but in this battle, they just want to be rats! Li Siwei knew very well that the little devil's artillery fire was powerful, so the tunnel had already been dug in the trench, and when the little devil's cannon sounded, everyone hid in the tunnel.

Such tactics naturally can't stop the little devils, but they can consume the little devils' shells as much as possible, and the little devils don't run away with the ammunition depot, when their shells are exhausted, it's time to counterattack!

"Stop shelling!" Yoshida Osa suddenly shouted, "Infantry reinforcements......" He saw that the stormtroopers had taken the opportunity to attack the trenches of the Shina people, but there was no counterattack from the Shina people in the smoke of gunpowder!

The sound of artillery stopped abruptly, the north gate position was filled with gunsmoke, but the Kato squadron, which was the first to rush to the central position, was a little confused, except for a few corpses on the position, there was not half of the defenders of Zhina...... Is it just? So easily captured the positions of the China?

Squadrons Okada and Abe, who then rushed into the flank positions, were equally puzzled...... Behind them, a large group of people had already rushed up, and they could even faintly hear the shouts of the robes.

"Alert, alert," Captain Kato shouted, "Victory belongs to the Emperor......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of gunfire on the left flank, and the gunfire rang out almost simultaneously in the right flank position, "bang bang bang ......bang" like fried beans, and the sound of the 38 rifle resounded in one ...... He was shocked, but it was already too late!

"Bang ......"

The gunfire in the central position was loud, and Captain Kato felt a numbness in his back, as if he had been struck by lightning, and fell to the ground......

"They are in the soil, and the people of China are in the soil...... Ah......h

Captain Kato mustered his strength, turned his head, and in a daze, he saw the muzzle of the black hole, and the muzzle of the gun was sticking out from the side of the cat hole...... The people of China are hiding in the dirt!

The little devils of the brigade who rushed up in the follow-up were startled by the sudden gunshots, but the road to the charge, there is no advance or retreat!

By the time Ono rushed to the central position with a large group of men, the gunfire had already disappeared, leaving only corpses in one place...... None of Kato's squadrons were spared, and they fell in the trenches, and Second Lieutenant Ogura had a grenade in his hand, which was stuffed into a cat's hole, and was emitting green smoke.

"Ogura-kun......" Ono Shaosa was furious, "Ogura-kun, what happened?" ”

"Dirt...... Tsuchisato ......" Second Lieutenant Ogura was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Ono Shaosa in pain, "Tsuchi......"

With a "boom", the cat's ear hole was blown up.

"Bang ......"

Gunfire rang out again from the left flank position, and a voice shouted, "The people of China are hiding in the dirt......

Ohno Shaoza was stunned, hurriedly retreated, and shouted, "Grenade, grenade...... Blow them up! ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Grenades rained down into the trenches.

"Boom ......"

The trenches were scorched with scorched earth, shrapnel flew sideways, and some cat's ear holes were directly blown up...... After the explosion, there was a dead silence in the trenches.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the trenches, and Ono Shaosa shouted, "Yoshitake-kun." ”

"Hey!" Second Lieutenant Yoshitake agreed, and rushed down the trench with a small team.

The trenches were in shambles, and the corpse of the robe was blown up along with the cat's ear hole, but there was still no trace of the man......

"There's a hole in the ground," a little devil suddenly pointed to a collapsed cat's ear hole and shouted, "Report to the captain, there's a hole in the ground here......"

Second Lieutenant Yoshitake hurriedly rushed over to take a look, only to see that there was a black hole in the ground behind the collapsed cat's ear hole, which had been reinforced with bricks and wood around it, and it did not collapse even in such a violent explosion!

"Dig," Second Lieutenant Yoshitake was startled and hurriedly rushed to the next cat's ear hole, "Dig up!" ”

Several soldiers hurriedly took action to dig up the intact cat's ear hole...... It turned out that behind the cat's hole was a wooden plank as a camouflage, behind which was the reinforced entrance, and next to the cat's ear hole was an inconspicuous shooting hole......

Second Lieutenant Yoshitake was secretly frightened when he saw it, such a fortification ...... How much effort and manpower and material resources must be spent! How tenacious is the will of the people of China!

He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly reported the discovery to Ono Shaosa, who came over to take a look and hurriedly reported it to Yoshida Osa.

Yoshida Dazuo looked at the hole that was dug out and secretly entangled, chasing, right? Who knows what's inside! Blew up, right? In case this tunnel leads directly into the city......

"Dazuo!" Ohno Shaosa looked at Yoshida Osa, "How to deal with it?" ”

"Well," Yoshida Osaichi gritted his teeth, "it's all blown up!" "Since it is a fortification dug by the people of China, it must be more beneficial for them to keep it!

"Boom ......"

There was another puff of dust in the trenches, and grenades were thrown into the holes, completely blowing up the tunnels.

In the tunnel, Liao Heiniu heard the explosion behind him, and looked annoyed, "Turtle's!" I've been digging for so long, and it's gone...... What a fucking thief the little devil! ”

Wang Sanmin persuaded: "Forget it, the regiment commander has said that the city is our main position." ”

"Yes," Lu Ying echoed: "It is worth it to be tired of consuming so many shells for little devils!" ”

"That's right," Liao Heiniu perked up, "Let's talk about the advanced city, Lao Tzu has a lot of authenticity, I'm afraid that the little devils don't have so many shells to blow up!" ”

Yoshida's troops occupied the position at the north gate, blew up the tunnels in the trenches, and hurriedly organized men and horses to attack directly into the city!

The north gate had been blown down, and the three squadrons screamed and attacked the city through the gap.

The city was dead silent, eerily quiet.

Yanai's squadron, as the first echelon, smoothly rushed into the city and did not meet the expected attack.

"Disperse," Captain Yanai perked up, "occupy favorable terrain, establish defenses, and respond to the ...... of follow-up troops"

The second echelon Hanazawa Squadron also rushed in with a roar, but still did not encounter a counterattack.

"Yanai-kun," Captain Hanazawa looked at Captain Yanai with a puzzled expression, "What's the situation?" ”

Captain Yanai shook his head.

Captain Hanazawa waved his hand, "Hanazawa squadron, attack ...... forward" as he said, and he took the lead and rushed up the middle street towards the city.

Three, five, ten...... Just after rushing twenty meters, the street suddenly turned a corner, and Captain Hanazawa did not notice this detail.

"Da Da Da ......"

As soon as the little devils turned the corner, they were greeted by a rain of bullets, and at the corner was facing a barricade, behind which a Type 92 machine gun was shouting happily.

"Ahh......hh

Many people were caught off guard by the fierce machine gun bullets and fell to the ground, Captain Hanazawa hurriedly retreated, but felt that his thigh was numb, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, just falling around the corner, but he also picked up a life, and the blue brick wall in the corner just blocked the bullet for him.

A group of little devils left more than a dozen corpses, and they retreated one after another, hiding around the corner.

Captain Hanazawa didn't have time to heal his injuries, so he shouted forcefully, "Outflank and finish off the barricades on the opposite side." ”

is both mentally calculated and unintentional, how can Li Siwei give him this opportunity!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

I saw that bricks fell on the walls on both sides of the street, which were reserved shooting holes.

"Bang ......"

The barrels of the black holes protruded from the holes where the bricks had fallen, and the flames burst out, filling the air with smoke.

Before the little devils could react, they were shot to the ground, and the little devils who came back to their senses were so frightened that they scurried around......

The Ximen squadron of the third echelon had just rushed into the city, but when they saw that the Hua Ze brigade in front of them had been shot and killed in an instant, they were all shocked, this city is a huge trap?

"Puff puff ......"

The bullet knocked Captain Hanazawa into a sieve, and he stared at a pair of big eyes, dead eyes, with anger, despair, and a hint of fear in his eyes!

Captain Yanai was also shocked and angry, "There is an ambush, there is an ambush......

But where is the time?

"Bang ......"

Gunshots rang out sporadically, screams rang out one after another, and people were constantly being shot and killed by cold guns that burst in, and died on what they thought was "favorable terrain......

Outside the city, Yoshida Osa heard the gunfire in the city, his face sank like water, and he looked at Pingyi City silently.

"Osa," Iizuka looked anxious, "give the order for support!" "The three squadrons that entered the city were all his men......

Yoshida Daichi gritted his teeth, "Order a retreat!" The artillery brigade advances, preparing for the shelling ......"

He had already received orders from Major General Saito to set foot on the castle of Pingyi...... Otherwise, he would not be able to command the entire artillery brigade with one wing commander!

Given the order to retreat, the Liujing squadron and the Ximen squadron fled in despair...... They had never fought such a battle, and they couldn't even fight back! The whole city is a huge trap......
