Therefore, after getting the news, Qiao Youhua immediately called and ordered some of the artillery battalion officers and men who had withdrawn to Luquan County to quickly advance westward with artillery and rush to Pingshan County to support.

In this great victory, the artillery battalion followed the 1st and 2nd battalions to capture many shells, and there was no need to worry about running out of shells.

By the time Ma Yunlong personally led an artillery company to Dahe Village with eight Type 92 infantry guns and a batch of shells, Qiao Youhua was already waiting for them here.

After joining forces, they immediately rushed to Pingshan County.

At this time, the main force of the three battalions under the command of Wu Ming, some guard companies, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion had already surrounded the regiments of Pingshan County and were constantly attacking.

It's just that the soldiers of this part of the artillery battalion did not carry artillery, and the devils defended the fortified city and lacked effective weapons to attack the fortified positions, and the attacks of the infantry of the third battalion of Longya were frustrated one after another, and many soldiers were lost.

"Battalion commander, the regiment commander has sent me to tell you to postpone the attack, he has mobilized artillery and is rushing to reinforce at full speed." During the attack, a herald ran to Wu Ming's side and said loudly in the rain of bullets.

Wu Ming nodded immediately, turned his head to his herald and said, "Order all companies, stop the attack, adopt siege tactics, and wait for new orders!" ”

The attack soon stopped, and the dense gunfire, explosions, and shouts of killing also stopped.

On the eastern city wall of the city, where the fierce battle was fiercest just now, the commander of the Japanese army Hirayama garrison, Jun Tanabe, finally breathed a deep sigh of relief, held the right hand of the pistol in the box of Wang Ba, sorted out his military cap, turned around and leaned against the city wall, and began to rest.

At this time, a devil communication soldier trotted up from the ladder with a telegram in his hand, and came to Tanabe's side with his head down: "Sir, I have sent a telegram to Shimen for help, but they responded by letting us hold on to ourselves, and did not say when the reinforcements will arrive!" ”

A devil captain beside Tanabe Jun said: "Sir, isn't the main force of the Imperial Army of the 5th Division and the 10th Division besieging Luquan?" How could it happen that the Chinese army came to besiege us now? Could it be that both of the Imperial Army's great armies were defeated by them? ”

Tanabe Jun scolded: "Nonsense, that's tens of thousands of elites of the imperial army, and General Seishiro Itagaki is a famous general of the empire, how could such a thing happen?" ”

"However, how could that army send troops to besiege Pingshan County? And Shimen's call back is also ambiguous, and there is no mention of reinforcements, which is really weird! The captain couldn't help but mutter.

Tanabe Jun didn't go to reprimand his subordinates again, for the current situation, he also beat a drum in his heart, the captain next to him was right, if it wasn't for an accident, how could Luquan's army still have extra troops to attack the Pingshan county town he was stationed at this juncture?

Could it be that the two master regiments of the Imperial Army really followed in the footsteps of the 12th and 13th mixed brigades before, and were also defeated by the Dragon Tooth Task Force? That's terrible.

With this amount of troops in his hands, how can he still hold Pingshan County? Fortunately, the current Chinese army outside the city did not carry any heavy weapons, not even heavy machine guns, and they were able to hold on.

"You go and send a telegram to the Shimen Headquarters and the Lingshou County Garrison Command, asking them to send reinforcements to support, otherwise our department will abandon Pingshan County!" Hayao Tanabe instructed the signal soldier.

"Hay." The Signal Soldier was ordered to turn and leave.

…………

However, the reply of the Japanese army in the two counties made Tanabe Jun, the devil Shaozo, desperate, and there were no reinforcements at all, and the commander of the garrison of Lingshou County, Kuya Kyoji Shaosa, responded directly that his troops were insufficient and unable to reinforce.

And Shimen's Wuchun Watanabe replied this time to tell the truth, the 5th Division and the 10th Division have been defeated by the Dragon Tooth Task Force, and the two master regiments have almost been wiped out.

The commanders of the two divisions and the surviving senior officers and staff officers had already left Shimen and went north to Pingjin, using various connections to make amends for themselves.

Shimen County may be attacked by the Chinese army at any time, and Wuchun Watanabe is also too busy to take care of himself, so there will be no reinforcements at all.

After receiving this news, Tanabe Jun Shaozo was completely desperate and disheartened, and the artillery reinforcements led by Qiao Youhua and Ma Yunlong outside the city arrived, which strengthened his determination to abandon Pingshan County and escape.

Outside the city, after Qiao Youhua and Ma Yunlong arrived with reinforcements, Ma Yunlong was immediately ordered to command the artillery to build an artillery position and prepare for the shelling, while Qiao Youhua came to Wu Ming's temporary command post.

Before the two could talk, a rush of gunfire and explosions was heard in the north of the city.

Qiao Youhua glanced at Wu Ming when he heard the voice, and said, "Could it be that the little devil took the initiative to give up the county seat and want to break through?" ”

"It's really possible, it is estimated that you and Battalion Commander Ma arrived with artillery units just now and were discovered by condescending devils, or maybe they learned the news of the defeat of the Japanese army in Luquan, right?" Wu Ming said.

After a while, a soldier of the third battalion ran over out of breath and saluted the two: "Regiment commander, battalion commander, the devil suddenly came out of the north of the city, it seems that he is intending, our company commander is leading people to block the attack, but the enemy's strength is several times that of me, and I will not be able to resist it immediately, please send reinforcements to the regiment commander and battalion commander quickly!" ”

Qiao Youhua said with a grim expression: "Sure enough, you want to break through, Wu Ming, you stay and command the troops to take advantage of the situation to recover Pingshan County, and I will personally lead the guard company to intercept the devil reinforcements!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Ming suddenly agreed, and said: "The guard company is not strong enough, let's bring one more company." After speaking, he turned his head and waved his hand to a company commander: "Third company commander, you take someone to go with the regiment commander." ”

When Qiao Youhua rushed to the north gate with two companies of troops, the Japanese army was already about to break through the blockade defense line of the third battalion of Longya at the north gate.

"Brothers, rush over and stop these little devils, and don't let one go! Kill! Qiao Youhua took out his pistol and raised his arms and shouted.

Hundreds of soldiers immediately roared and rushed over, and the officers and soldiers of the third battalion, who were fighting the devils in blood, naturally boosted their morale when they saw that the reinforcements had arrived.

The devil has a setback, with Qiao Youhua personally in charge, hundreds of guards and soldiers equipped with American submachine guns to join, although the devil has an advantage in strength, but it is difficult to break through the resistance of the dragon's tooth task force in a hurry, and successfully break through.

After a fierce battle, Tanabe had no choice but to order the troops to retreat into the city, and stubbornly resisted according to the north gate wall and some of the buildings in the city.

At this time, Wu Ming had already led the main force of the three battalions to attack the city from the east gate and the south gate, easily eliminating the palace queen death squad left by Tanabe Jun, and was rapidly capturing most of the county.
