Luo Lin is right, Zhao Zhi really can't withdraw now, he has been fighting with the Japanese puppet army from Luliang for two days with his troops, and this is the time to pursue while he is victorious, how could he give up this opportunity because of the arrival of the US military observation team. The use of poison gas bombs to solve thousands of Japanese soldiers disguised as the Imperial Allied Army at one time did not scare Goro Hashimota, but aroused the fighting spirit of this old boy, after Tang Lei led people to attack the reinforcements sent by Goro Hashimoto at night, the embarrassed Goro Hashimoto simply stopped shrinking his head and tail, gathered all his troops and collided head-on.

Although Zhao Zhi had already organized defensive circles and traps on the front line of Pingyao, it turned out that Goro Hashimoto's ignorance made Zhao Zhi feel a little at a loss. The long-range firepower such as mortars and mountain artillery brought by the puppet army of Luliang made Zhao Zhi's defensive circle destroyed in the artillery fire before he could make an inch, for which Zhao Zhi also paid more than 100 casualties, and finally Zhao Zhi had to find another way to fight a movement war with the Japanese army in Luliang.

After two consecutive days of sleepless fighting, Zhao Zhi and 500 Jewish elite soldiers have been running by the nose of Goro under the bridge, while the other Jewish soldiers are like peeling potatoes, slowly eating the troops on the periphery of the Japanese puppet army camp layer by layer, and when Gorou Hashimoto came back to his senses, less than 3,000 of his 7,000 men when he set off were left, and nearly half of them were wiped out in the field outside Pingyao City, and he himself was almost killed on the spot by the snipers of Thunder.

"Your Excellency Dasa, let's withdraw one after another, there is no news from the Watanabe Brigade so far, I'm afraid it's more than lucky, and we don't have many shells, and if we continue to entangle with them, there will be no way for us to retreat" Asakusa, who was shot in the arm, hung on one arm, and his expression was a little gloomy to persuade the commander Goro Hashimoto to retreat, and he had been fighting with the thunderous people for two days, and it seemed that he had been chasing them, but in fact, he had been going around in circles within a radius of a few miles, and Pingyao City, which was more than ten miles away, was still hopeless.

Commander Goro Hashimoto has no confidence in the current battle situation, but this time the task is to rush to the aid of Ding'an, and now he has lost more than half of it, but he hasn't even seen the city wall of Pingyao City, and Goro Hashimoto feels aggrieved. "Asakusa-kun, I can't retreat yet, I have received information from Jinzhong, they have sent the Chongben Wing who was just transferred from North China last month to Wuxiang, I plan to ask them for help, and together with the Chongben United, we must defeat them, otherwise in the future, our imperial army will be terrified when they hear the name of Thunder"

Seeing that Goro Hashimoto was so persistent, Asakusa, as the chief of staff, couldn't say anything, but just went a little stupidly to appease the wounded soldiers and officers, so that they could regain their confidence and do their part for Goro Hashimo's decision. "Sir, something is wrong, the movements of the Japanese army who have been chasing us all the time seem to have slowed down" Tang Lei, who had emerged in the mercenary unit and showed his command talent, ran over out of breath, bringing Zhao Zhi still bad news.

"What the hell are you doing" Zhao Zhi picked up the binoculars and looked at the Lu Liangri puppet army slowing down in the distance, Zhao Zhi, who was chasing them an hour ago, how did the desperate guys slow down their speed? Could it be a tactical adjustment by the Japanese army? Zhao Zhi's head was full of question marks, but unfortunately he only had Tang Lei by his side, Hanks and other Jewish soldiers were responding on both flanks of the Japanese army, and it was difficult for Zhao Zhi to make a correct judgment on the current battle situation.

"Tang Lei, what do you think?"

"I feel that the Japanese army is aware of our bull-taking tactics, they just slowed down instead of retreating directly, which shows that they have no fear and should have the operational intention to influence the situation of the war, but we don't know what they are going to do yet" Tang Lei's judgment was quite objective, and Zhao Zhi nodded sympathetically.

Zhao Zhi opened the map on the spot and searched carefully, "Tang Lei, you immediately contact the scouts we released in the direction of Jinzhong, and ask them if the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army in Jinzhong have the intention of diverting to Pingyao" The current strength comparison between Zhao Zhi and the Luliangri puppet army has changed substantially, Zhao Zhi now has more than 5,000 Jewish soldiers in his hands, and the 7,000 people of the Luliangri puppet army have been reduced to less than 3,000, which is almost a one-to-two ratio of troops, if it weren't for Zhao Zhi's purpose of training, I'm afraid that the remaining Lu Liangri puppet army would have been wiped out here a long time ago.

At this time, the Luliang Japanese puppet army suddenly had the intention of changing tactics, and the only thing Zhao Zhi could think of was that they came with reinforcements, and the only ones around Pingyao who could be called reinforcements were the Japanese troops from Jinzhong, and Zhao Zhi now needed to confirm his guess. Fortunately, at the beginning of the battle, in a cautious and cautious manner, Tang Lei sent scouts to the direction of Jinzhong, and now it depends on the results of the scouts' investigation.

The order has been issued, and the scouts sent out by Tang Lei have not yet seen the shadow of the Japanese reinforcements in Jinzhong, and all this will take time, since the Luliang Japanese puppet army has the intention of changing tactics, Zhao Zhi does not plan to drag it out any longer, he wants to take the initiative to attack and solve these troublesome guys before the battle situation changes. "Hanks, immediately order your artillery team to attack tentatively, I want to know the specific location of the Japanese artillery positions, and if I find an opportunity, I will defeat them" Zhao Zhi contacted Hanks who was cruising on the flank through the walkie-talkie, and before attacking the line of the Japanese puppet army in Luliang, Zhao Zhi needed to divert the attention of the opponent's artillery.

"Tang Lei, call all the officers to come over for a meeting, we have to come to the guys opposite for real" The 500 people around Zhao Zhi are all veterans who have experienced the three battles of Xiangtangpu, Ding'an, and Wuxiang, after the three battles, according to the judgment of Thunder's military merits, thirty percent of these 500 people will become new officers and non-commissioned officers, take them as bait, Zhao Zhi is also training them, I hope these people can become a qualified commander as soon as possible, the officers in the Thunder Jewish Legion are too scarce.

"After a while, we will be divided into three teams, Tang Lei, you lead a team to the left, Hogan, you lead a team on the right, and I will lead the team in the middle and the heavy machine gun team. As soon as Hanks's artillery started fighting, we would advance in three directions, not leaving a chance for the Japanese army to breathe, and we had to tear up their battle line and stir up with them in one go, only in this way would their artillery not work "The middle lane is the most dangerous, Tang Lei and the American officer named Hogan also wanted to change the attack position with Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi did not agree.

The 500-strong troops scattered and divided into three roads during the march, and Zhao Zhi led 150 riflemen and a 50-man heavy machine gun squad in the middle. Time passed minute by minute, the distance was also getting closer and closer, the Japanese army seemed to be really changing their tactics, for Zhao Zhi's approach, Lu Liang's puppet army actually did not react at all, Zhao Zhi attributed this to his own clever covert methods.

"Boom" "Boom" With the firing of Hanks' mortars, several clouds of smoke and fire rose on the Japanese front, and Zhao Zhi's telescope could vaguely see the fragments of corpses mixed with the smoke. The sound of artillery is an order, Tang Lei and Hogan issued the same order to their subordinates almost at the same time, the rivalry between the mercenary force and the Jewish legion has a long history, and now there are 150 people under each of them, naturally both sides have to show their command ability to Zhao Zhi.

Tang Lei and Hogan, who interspersed from the two wings, were like two sharp blades, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was busy dealing with Hanks' artillery salvo, they slammed into the Japanese line, and before the Luliang Japanese puppet army could think, a dense platoon of guns appeared, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in the front row of the front row of the front line seemed to hit an invisible stone wall, blasting blood holes in their bodies one by one, and then retreated a few steps backwards and fell. "Fire, fire" Tang Lei fell to the ground, using the corpse of a Japanese soldier as a cover to fire fiercely at the Japanese puppet army in front, and then the Jewish soldiers who rushed over immediately roared and began to shoot.

The light machine guns that followed opened fire, and at a distance of more than ten meters, the bodies of the Japanese puppet soldiers were beaten into a bloody hornet's nest by the barrage, and the shredded minced meat and bone chips were raised like spray, but there were still more figures running through this terrifying fog barrier. The reason why Goro Hashimoto's soldiers reacted to such a state was because most of them were guys who had been in the army for less than 2 years, and they couldn't be as calm as officers and veterans.

"Grenade, throw grenade" Zhao Zhi, who broke through in the middle, shouted, and then suddenly pulled the ring of the grenade and threw out his grenade. The shock wave of the explosion created a large amount of smoke and dust, Zhao Zhi didn't expect these thrown grenades to cause many casualties to Lu Liangri's puppet army, he just wanted to use the smoke from the grenades to block the opponent's vision and reduce the casualties of his team to a certain extent.

"Quick, quick, quick, you guys with diapers on your buttocks, set up my heavy machine guns at once, our guys need fire support, right away," the beefy sergeant major roared, directing the heavy machine gun squad that followed him to set up the four Browning heavy machine guns in his designated position. The Luliangri puppet army is too concentrated, once the heavy machine gun fires, the hole torn by Tang Lei and them will be expanded as quickly as a levee, if the other party fails to effectively control the battle situation, the addition of the heavy machine gun team will trigger the collapse of the Luliangri puppet army.

"Boom" Zhao Zhi's side has begun to attack and advance, Hanks, who nested on the two wings of the Luliangri puppet army, is no longer hidden, and the shells that were fired out one by one suddenly became a raging storm, and the salvo of more than 20 mortars is also very spectacular, and the three rounds of rapid salvo mortar shells drowned the middle section of the Luliangri puppet army in smoke and fire, and the continuous explosions made the entire Luliangri puppet army's front loose.
