"Lou Fan County must be defended, the 119 Wing must be contained here, if the Japanese 119 Wing attacks Lan County, the 359 Brigade will be threatened, and the 120 Division will be greatly affected by the outside operations, the meaning of defending the country is very simple, Lou Fan County must be defended."

Shen Wei looked at Yin Jin and Fu Tao and said with a serious face.

"Political commissar, since the regiment commander has made a statement, then our battalion has no complaints, and the people are in the position." Yin Jin swore solemnly.

"Our second battalion is not a bad breed, political commissar, I will personally command the battle on the front line, as long as I am alive, the Japanese army will not want to break through from here." Fu Tao said with a solemn face.

Hearing Yin Jin and Fu Tao's statement, Shen Wei was relieved.

The brief operational meeting ended quickly, and the two battalion commanders of the 1st and 2nd battalions quickly returned to the front line to direct the operation.

The reconnaissance company and the guard company had already begun to return to Xiling Village, and Ge Haifeng and Liu Jingnuma came to Sun Weiguo to report on the results of the battle.

The results of the two companies were very small, they only attacked some small units of Japanese transport troops, and did not pose any threat to the Japanese troops.

Sun Weiguo sat in his chair, his eyes looking at the map with a contemplative expression on his face.

"Regiment commander, the Japanese army is very well defended, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to have a chance to attack them." Ge Haifeng said in a solemn tone.

Liu Jingnuma also nodded, he and the guard company just ambushed an infantry squad of the Japanese army, but did not achieve much success.

"Little devils are not stupid, they will definitely learn a lesson if they suffer a loss, and it is understandable that they are guarded." Sun Weiguo said with a smile.

He was very anxious, but on the surface he was very relaxed, and he did not show any anxiety to his subordinates.

"Yin Jinshan, send a telegram to the political commissar and chief of staff, and the officers and men of the first regiment of the first regiment will quickly assemble and stand by, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, carry out a counterattack against the Japanese army."

Sun Weiguo clenched his fist with his right hand, he slammed it on the table, and said with a serious expression.

Yin Jinshan immediately began to turn on the radio, and he quickly got in touch with the regiment headquarters.

When Ge Haifeng and Liu Jingnuma heard Sun Weiguo give such an order, they had different expressions on their faces.

Liu Jingnuma was a little surprised, but Ge Haifeng was very excited, he couldn't wait to show his ability to scout the company.

In the first regiment of troops, almost all of Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company were cavalry, but Ge Haifeng's reconnaissance company performed very well in combat.

After Shen Wei and Zhao Lerong in the regiment headquarters received Sun Weiguo's order, they were very shocked.

They never dreamed that Sun Weiguo would give the order to counterattack the Japanese army.

The two couldn't help but glance at each other, but they still chose to carry out the order given by Sun Weiguo, and they began to notify each battalion and company of the order.

Lan County, in the headquarters of the 10th Company of the 3rd Battalion, the company commander Jiang Ying looked at the young soldier in front of him wearing the uniform of the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, and he showed a curious expression on his face.

"Boy, you have a lot of experience, you have been captured by the little devil, and you were a soldier in the Jin Sui Army, the Jin Sui Army did not resist the Japanese army, you escaped, and now you want to join our Eighth Route Army troops, okay, I am the master and agree, you will be a clerk in my company first."

A smile appeared on Jiang Ying's face, and he gently patted the shoulder of the young soldier in front of him.

This young soldier named Tian Wu is a talent in Jiang Ying's eyes, because Tian Wu is a college student, Jiang Ying feels that Tian Wu is sent to the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo will definitely appreciate Tian Wu very much, you must know that what is lacking in the regiment is this kind of talent now.

"Company commander, there are devil soldiers coming, the number is about a thousand, and they have begun to besiege the county seat."

At this moment, a soldier hurried to the company headquarters, and he reported with a nervous expression.

After Jiang Ying heard the news, he couldn't help but show a solemn expression, and he immediately led people out of the house.

Before Jiang Ying could reach the city wall, the Japanese artillery began to bombard.

This Japanese army was a unit of the 69th Wing of the 31st Brigade of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army, and the commander of the 26th Infantry Regiment, Shigetoku Kuroda, learned of the siege of Arashi Prefecture, and he immediately began to contact Yamaoka Shigetsu of our 109th Division, and Yamaoka Shigehou sent a telegram to the 69th Wing of the Japanese Army stationed in Fugu County, and then the 69th Wing took action.

Considering that the 69th Wing could only send out the strength of one infantry brigade, the Japanese felt that this infantry brigade would not necessarily play a role if it was directly engaged in the battle in Lan County, after all, the Eighth Route Army besieging Lan County had the main force of a brigade.

After Kuroda Shigetoku's consideration, he put this infantry brigade into the battle in Arashi County, and he planned to let this infantry brigade capture Arashi County, and then cooperate with the 119th Wing to defeat the first reserve regiment, and after making peace with the 119th Wing, and then go to Lan County together to fight.

An infantry battalion of the 69th Wing quickly passed through Xingxian to Lanxian, and the Japanese immediately began fighting.

One by one, the shells hit the city wall, and the Japanese machine gun squadron also began to participate in the battle, and the bullets quickly fired towards the city wall.

Hundreds of Japanese troops attacked the city gates, and a fierce battle ensued.

The Japanese army had a full infantry brigade of more than 1,000 men, while the 10th Company had only 150 men.

There was a huge disparity in the ratio of forces between the two sides, but in the face of the Japanese attack, the officers and men of the 10th Company did not have the slightest fear.

The mood of the officers and soldiers was high, and when the company commander Jiang Ying arrived, the soldiers began to devote themselves to the battle.

The 10th Company is subordinate to the 3rd Battalion, Sun Ziyuan's 3rd Battalion has the old foundation of an independent regiment, and the veterans of the 3rd Battalion are not very many, accounting for one-fifth of the whole battalion, but these veterans have brought the style of the independent regiment into the 3rd Battalion.

"Beat me hard, don't let the devil soldiers rush over." Jiang Ying brandished the shell gun, and he shouted loudly.

The 10th Company fought very bravely, but the Japanese army was numerous, with the help of two infantry guns, the Japanese destroyed the city gate, and the devil soldiers began to frantically pour into the city from the city gate, and the two sides began to carry out street battles in Lan County, but the Japanese army was very numerous, and the number of 10th Company troops killed was increasing.

Hongyatou Village, the headquarters of the 119th Wing of the Japanese Army, looked at the time, it was almost one o'clock, and Ishida Jinzo looked at his subordinates.

The three commanders of the infantry brigade stood in front of Ishida Kanzo, and they had a very confident expression on their faces, and they felt that they would definitely be able to attack the castle this afternoon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 69th Wing has sent an infantry brigade to Lan County, and after they conquer Lan County, they will immediately go to Lou Fan County to assist us in the battle. However, we, the 119th Wing, must conquer Loufan County before the arrival of the 69th Wing. Ishida Jinzo looked at his subordinates and said in a serious tone.

"Hey, Wing Captain, we will definitely conquer Loufan County as soon as possible." The three commanders of the infantry brigade shouted in unison.

However, at this moment, the sound of artillery and heavy light and heavy machine gun fire began to be heard outside.
