When the group arrived at Koyanagiso, it was just as dawn was approaching. This is the darkest time of the day. Although it is not so that you can't reach out and lose your fingers, you can only see the people in the front row in the marching column, and you can only see a vague figure in the distance.

"It's less than an hour until dawn. Correspondent! Hurry up and send a telegram to ask where the second and third regiments are! The regiment commander, Qin Ming, walked into the temporary command post where the map sand table was being placed, and began to shout without even sitting down on a stool.

"Commander. The second regiment has arrived at the predetermined location. The three regiments have not yet been contacted. They must have been on a rapid march, and the radio remained silent. The regimental chief of staff walked in and said.

"When is this all gone! Why did these three groups drop their chains at a critical time? Signal Soldiers! Give orders to the first battalion, let them hide, and do not act without orders! Qin Ming anxiously walked around the room.

"This time it's safe! Otherwise, the military seat will start a fire, and we won't be able to afford it! ”

"Please rest assured, in terms of troops, weapons and equipment, this time we can definitely eat the brigade on the opposite side. It's a big deal, let's have a strong attack! There are more than 10,000 people in the three main regiments of the whole division, and they can't take the full brigade of more than 4,000 people on the opposite side? The regimental chief of staff said with relief.

"Nonsense! Have you forgotten what the military seat said? It is not easy for every soldier we have cultivated, and when there are conditions to reduce their own casualties, the first thing to ensure is the safety of the soldiers' lives! Okay, I won't say more, I also know that you know these truths in your heart, and we are under a lot of pressure now! If the three regiments are not deployed in place, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to eat this brigade in one bite! If they let some of them run away and go back to Pingyin County. If we defend the city, we will increase unnecessary casualties! ”

A quarter past five in the morning. There was already a glimmer of light in the eastern sky. It's dawn coming. Qin Ming sat in the radio class. Anxiously waiting for the telegram reply of the third regiment. The fighters of the radio squad also kept contacting the Third Regiment. But the three regiments still did not respond.

"Tuanza! Can't wait any longer! Wait a little longer, until after dawn. It will no longer be possible for the first battalion to quietly approach Pingyin County! I'm afraid it will increase our casualties at that time! Now, let's either start moving, or we will continue to retreat and wait for the third regiment. But the march of so many of our troops may have already alarmed the people along the way! Tonight is fine, if you postpone it for a day and wait until tomorrow night to act, then the enemy will definitely know the way, and the action will lose its suddenness! I recommend. Take advantage of the existing conditions and get started today! The chief of staff of the regiment said to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming looked at his pocket watch, then looked at the sky outside the window, and gritted his teeth, "Okay!" Notify the 1st Battalion and start the operation according to the plan! ”

The entire battalion of the first battalion was scattered and pressed towards the county seat of Pingyin. At this time, the county seat of Pingyin was like a sleeping castle in the hazy sky. Silence, vicissitudes. At this moment, the sentinels in charge of guarding the castle tower should still be asleep, and no one has noticed the anomaly under the city walls. When the first battalion arrived at the designated location, it immediately began to camouflage and conceal. When the sky was slightly bright, the city gates slowly opened. The two soldiers in charge of opening the gates were still yawning. Sleepy-eyed and swearing.

Two soldiers of the first battalion suddenly jumped over before the two enemy soldiers were awake, covering the enemy's mouth with their left hand, and already holding their daggers on the enemy's neck with their right hand. Then both of them simultaneously raised their hands and struck the enemy in the neck. The two Japanese soldiers were knocked unconscious. The rest of the soldiers of the first battalion immediately followed, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate saw the shadow of the soldiers of the first battalion, and the battle between the two sides officially began!

The enemy's defenses at each gate were not strong. There is about only one platoon. Only a battalion of fighters of one company went in. The enemy's hands were all armed with Zhongzheng rifles, which were already equipped with some of the elite units of the Kuomintang, and in addition to that. There were also a total of four machine guns on top of the castle tower and at the corner of the city wall. The company was equipped with 81-bar automatic rifles, and each squad also had a squad machine gun. A company was preceded by a platoon of a round of grenade throwing. Wait until after the grenade explodes. With machine guns in front and the rest with automatic rifles in the rear, there was so much automatic fire that the enemy defenses near the West Tower were quickly destroyed. A company was like a sharp knife that destroyed and decayed, and it was like a bamboo, and it occupied the Xicheng Tower in less than five minutes.

However, at this time, the enemy's reinforcements had also rushed over, and a company directly attacked the enemy when he was completely defenseless, and the selected enemy was most likely to be negligent, and then relied on the superiority of equipment and soldiers' combat tactics to quickly retreat. Outside the city, another battalion of the rest of the troops responded, and the fighters of the battalion quickly retreated amid a dense round of grenade explosions.

By the time the enemy in the city had climbed the city walls, the officers and men of the first battalion had retreated to a distance of several hundred meters, which was beyond the effective range of the medium rifles. The commander of the enemy army gritted his teeth angrily, "Brothers! Gather the troops! Clean up the battlefield! ”

"Travel! The enemy came this time with probably only one battalion! Looking at the military uniforms and equipment, it should be the troops of the 54th Army opposite! They are openly waging war against us! And he dared to use the strength of a battalion to capture our Pingyin County. This is blatant contempt for us! Said the brigade adjutant of the enemy army.

"These abominable thieves! However, since they dare to attack the city with a battalion, if they rashly pursue at this time, I am afraid that there will be an ambush! The enemy brigade commander said with some concern.

"Travel! The subordinates think that there should be no ambush for this enemy! Think about it, the predecessor of the 54th Army, the Wild Wolf Independent Regiment. They have always used small groups of troops to infiltrate and infiltrate, to spy on intelligence or to disrupt the enemy's central command organs. Therefore, I think there must be only one battalion in this operation! Brigade, if we don't chase it again, I'm afraid we'll swallow this evil breath in vain! In the future, I wonder how people from other troops will laugh at us! The adjutant of the enemy brigade briefly analyzed it and said anxiously.

"Good! Just send a group of light equipment to pursue! The second regiment with a mortar company was held back. The direct team stays behind! Be sure to give me this camp to eat! "The enemy brigade commander gave this most crucial order to get his brigade and other units to begin to sink into the pit of fire!

The officers and men of the 1st Battalion retreated three miles outside the city, found the car that had been carefully camouflaged and hidden, and then drove slowly at a speed of about 15 yards. The enemy's pursuing force had only a few cars at the regimental headquarters, and the rest of the soldiers were all running and marching. These enemy soldiers chased after them desperately, but they still couldn't see the backs of the soldiers of the first battalion!

"Fuck! What kind of troops is this! How do you run faster than a rabbit? "The commander of the first regiment of the enemy army looked at the officers and soldiers who were desperately chasing but still couldn't catch up with the enemy, and the anger in his heart didn't come out!" Fast! Faster! Damn it! It's all human, and I don't believe how fast those grandsons in front of me can run! In a row! In a row! Give you two trucks, and you will be the soldiers, go to the front, catch the enemy's tail, and drag them to me! ”

The enemy sent a company, and two trucks were full of soldiers. The car roared forward! On this kind of official road with slightly smoother soil and rocks, there is a highway of fifty yards! Soon the large army behind will be thrown far behind!

The commander of the first battalion, who was smoking and farting in the car, listened to the telegrams sent by his own sentries on the radio about the itinerary of the enemy's pursuing troops at various concealment posts along the way, chuckled and snuffed out the cigarette butts in his hand. The commander of the first battalion silently calculated the time and then ordered: "A company wants to hold me down an elite battalion? I don't know if I should say that he, the commander, is a fool, or that my elite battalion is a paper tiger! Banner Soldiers! Tell the troops, speed up! After five kilometers at forty yards, ambush in a vantage point! ”

The flag soldier stood on the pedal of the vehicle, and the red and blue flags were unfurled. The flag-bearers of the entire convoy and each vehicle have responded that they have been received. The convoy immediately accelerated.

Around six o'clock in the morning, it was already dark. The vehicles of the 1st battalion have already arrived at the reserved location. The vehicle that arrived first in front of it was camouflaging itself. The soldiers checked their weapons and ammunition and hid in the roadside trenches on both sides. This section of the road is narrow and has rocky cliffs on both sides. Only the two ends of the cliff have small forks and relatively flat meadows. And the roadside trench at the exit of the stone cliff is a good place to fight an ambush! The follow-up vehicles of the 1st Battalion continued to move forward! Give the enemy pursuing vehicle behind it, which can basically see a vague shadow, as an illusion!

Five minutes later, two cars full of soldiers after the enemy army walked out of the exit of the stone cliff! The commander of the first battalion who was ambushed on the hill raised the eighty-one bar automatic rifle in his hand and took aim! "Bang!" With a bang, it hit the right arm of the driver in the car in front! The truck swerved and crashed headlong into a tree on the side of the road! The enemy car behind immediately braked sharply! The officers and soldiers in the car got out of the car one after another! But these two vehicles are enough to hold a company of soldiers! It's basically a stack of people! Not to mention picking up weapons at the first time, it is unknown whether you can even get off the bus in three minutes! The enemy company commander sitting in the driver's cab got out of the car and took out the pistol on his waist, and was shot off by a soldier of the 1st battalion in the hands of the enemy company commander! Now, the enemy company commander is scared! Immediately lie on the ground and try to rely on the car as cover!

At this moment, the soldiers of the first battalion who had been ambushed in the roadside trench in advance raised their machine guns and automatic rifles in their hands and pointed at the heads of the group of enemy soldiers who were crowding out of the car! In this way, without killing or wounding a single person, the first battalion managed to capture this vanguard company of the enemy! There is also an intact transport truck and a damaged truck! As well as a company of armament!

"Even! Deal with the wounded and escort the prisoners! Second company, transport captured weapons and equipment! Triple Draw! Get these two cars away! The battalion commander smiled and turned around and got into the car!

This battle lasted less than ten minutes! And most of that time is spent dealing with the aftermath! The time for real combat is basically negligible! The commander of the first regiment of the enemy army who was chasing behind didn't even know that this vanguard company, which he regarded as a spearhead, was captured so easily! (To be continued......)
