Zhao Gang still did not stop Li Yunlong, and after sending out the correspondents, the battle to attack Ping'an County began.

When the independent regiment wanted to attack the county seat, the local armed forces in the base areas and guerrilla areas it opened up could not sit idly by, so they went on to do it vigorously.

And the county seat of Yamamoto Kazuki is the commander's confidant, a telegram for help was transmitted, and the northwest of Jin was boiling as if it were boiling a pot, and the defenders of the Japanese army from all over the country ignored the risk of being ambushed, and sent reinforcements here from all directions.

In addition to the main force of the Eighth Route Army, there are also a large number of county brigades, district squads, militias, and other local armed forces in the surrounding guerrilla areas.

The Jin Sui Army stationed near here, and the Central Army are not in the minority. Although there was no order for coordinated operations between the Eighth Route Army and the Kuomintang Army at all.

In addition, the internal communication capability of the Eighth Route Army was very poor, and the liaison between the main forces and local units was also very poor, and the various units in the surrounding guerrilla areas did not know that there was a Li Yunlong here who wanted to attack the county seat.

But as long as the Japanese army comes out of the stronghold in front of him, he can't let him walk happily, this is a good opportunity to ambush and pull out the stronghold, can you not take advantage of it?

As a result, all the departments of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the anti-Japanese forces in various regions, including the bandit mountain kings who gathered in the mountains and forests, were all involved, and the northwest of Jin was really chaotic.

The defenders of Taiyuan sent two wings by train to the northwest of Shanxi for reinforcements, and after walking dozens of kilometers, the train stopped. When the commander got out of the car, he saw that more than ten kilometers of railroad tracks were gone. They also had to get out of the car and walk.

But they didn't go far before they ran headlong into the defense area of Kong Jie of the New Second Regiment. And at this time, the communications cavalry of the independent regiment had not yet arrived!

Kong Jie has already figured out a little taste, Li Yunlong's independent regiment around Ping'an County, with his troublesome nature, must have stabbed Lou Zi again. The little devils are really anxious this time, so they can't let them go.

With his order, the new 2nd Regiment, together with the county brigades, district squads, and militia, almost all of them were thrown into battle, relying on the favorable terrain and were bound to launch an all-out blockade.

The Japanese troops in Fu'an received an order for reinforcements, and as soon as the two wings left the stronghold, they ran into Ding Wei's new regiment.

The little devil was like crazy, and launched seven or eight group charges in one go, and the artillery fire to cover the charge was also very fierce, using all the large-caliber heavy artillery, and beating the second battalion of the new regiment to pieces.

The troops and the little devils are fighting so hard, sooner or later they will be exhausted. But let the little devils pass, and the independent regiment suffered.

Ding Wei pondered for a while, and immediately had an idea. The new regiment defense area is more than 30 miles deep, and there are passes, bridges, and more than a dozen commanding heights that can hold the highway.

The area of the highway line is planted with landmines, so that the little devils have no way out. Send small forces to occupy the high ground and resist the advance of the slow attack. Then blow up all the bridges, this feast in Ping'an County, this gang of little devils he doesn't want to attend.

Sure enough, as soon as the new regiment opened the intersection, the devils didn't have any idea of entanglement, so they gathered their troops and began to hurry.

But before he could go far, the first car was directly blown over, and it was a mine.

The devil sent sappers to probe for mines, and as soon as they swept into the minefield, the mines were pulled again, and half of the devil sappers were killed. The remaining half still wanted to clear mines, but they were all knocked down by the sudden machine-gun fire.

This time there was no minesweeper.

The little devil was also in a hurry, and rushed forward in battle formation, but he pounced again. In the past, the devil commander would definitely not fight this kind of, but he was ordered to reinforce at all costs.

Therefore, it can only be ordered to attack and advance, and the troops will fight as they go. The Eighth Route Army continued to harass all the way, and within 20 kilometers of walking, the devils had already suffered one-third of the casualties, and the devil commanders were so angry that they vomited blood.

The Japanese reinforcements stationed in Luyang were ambushed halfway through, and were first attacked by a battalion of the Central Army, and exchanged fire for an hour, with casualties on both sides.

After the withdrawal of the Central Army, the Japanese troops continued to walk, and they were repeatedly harassed by the guerrillas, and mine warfare and sparrow warfare were fought in turns.

The guerrillas had a variety of weapons, such as earthen cannons, large poles, bird guns, arquebuses, and firecrackers in tin buckets.

The lethality of the earthen cannon at close range is not small, dozens of catties of gunpowder wrapped in a large amount of iron sand, "boom" in a fan spray, within 30 or 40 meters directly plowed, all living targets are either dead or injured.

The wounded of the Japanese were increasing, and the commander ordered a small squad to escort the wounded back to the stronghold. Who wanted to return to the stronghold on the way back to the stronghold was attacked by a group of bandits, and a squad of soldiers was killed.

The bandits did not treat the prisoners favorably or implement a humanitarian policy, they first robbed the military supplies, stripped the wounded of their clothes, and then slaughtered the wounded one by one, and dozens of naked corpses were thrown on the road, as if mocking the incompetence of the Japanese army.

The blocking troops on the periphery are fighting lively, and the surroundings of Ping'an County are not bad. The Independent Regiment dedicated one-third of its troops to lead the local armed forces to send reinforcements, blocked all roads within 50 kilometers of the county seat, and planted several thousand earthen mines alone.

At the operational meeting for the attack on the county seat, the commanders of the first battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion were all rushing to attack the main battalion. Yuan Pengfei and Zhang Dabiao sat firmly in Diaoyutai.

No matter which battalion is the main attacker, Zhang Dabiao will definitely follow and lead the team. And Yuan Pengfei already knew Li Yunlong's personality, and with ten to one troops, of course, he was going to attack in an all-round way!

However, this time he miscalculated, at this time and at that time, there was no heavy artillery fire to blast open the city gate, and Li Yunlong naturally had to attack from all sides to disperse the enemy's firepower.

At this time, there were four Italian guns and 219 shells, which were more than enough to bombard all the way in.

Li Yunlong directly assigned the task and said: "Listen up, this time we will attack from all sides, one battalion will attack on the west city wall, and the others will all feint to disperse the enemy's forces."

The little devils in the county town have an infantry squadron, a military police, and a puppet army brigade. The strength of the little devil is also okay, let's not touch that mold.

But that puppet army brigade used to be a security regiment, and its combat effectiveness was simply inadequate. Find me the direction in which they are stationed, four Italian guns, plus eight mortars, and I will level the head of the city.

Remember, the troops who attack first should not rush into the depths, first infiltrate the city walls in a roundabout way, kill the enemy defenders on the city walls, open the city gates, and then fight in depth from all four directions, compress the enemy in the center, and finally clean it up. ”

That's nothing to do with him?

Yuan Pengfei couldn't be reserved, and hurriedly said: "Regiment commander, I am most familiar with this Italian cannon, I'll take the cannon to fight!" ”
