The city wall of Ping'an County is built in the Chong frame period of the Ming Dynasty, the well-preserved city wall is four or five zhang high, there is a wide horse road on it, the city bricks are built by glutinous rice juice mixed with mortar, it is strong and abnormal, and the intact and neat battlements reflect the tactical characteristics of the cold weapon era.

There was a moat around the city outside the city walls, but due to the age, the moat has dried up and silted up.

There is an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, a Japanese military police, and a brigade of the puppet army stationed in the county town, with more than 1,000 troops.

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is very weak, and the predecessor of this brigade is the security force of the former Kuomintang army, which is also a third-rate unit in the battle sequence of the Kuomintang army.

When Kazuki Yamamoto withdrew the remaining members of the secret service team into the prefecture, he found that there were only about 20 members left, and more than half of them were injured. The formation of this elite special forces force has been crippled, and it seems that it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

However, Yamamoto Dazuo couldn't care about his frustration at this time, he knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, and the shrewd Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong would not let him go easily.

He had sent a telegram to the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan asking Commander Yoshio Suzuka to send troops to meet him, and during this period, his own special forces should take the opportunity to recuperate.

This time he miscalculated the situation.

The countdown to the time Yamamoto Kazuki and his agents have lived in this world.

This year, with the frequent successes of the US army in the Pacific War, the rapid advance of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front in Europe, and the victory of the British army in El Alamein in North Africa.

The successive defeats of the Axis powers showed signs of defeat, and anyone with a slight military vision could see that the military alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan was lost.

After several years of military confrontation on the battlefield of China, more than one million Japanese troops were pinned down in the Japanese-occupied areas and were unable to launch a new offensive.

The strategic concept of exchanging space for time put forward by the Chinese Nationalist Government in the early days of the war has shown its effect to a certain extent, and after five or six years of war, the Japanese army has not even opened up the Beijing-Guangzhou line, the main railway artery running through the north and south of China, and the southward strategy of the Japanese army to advance into Southeast Asia has been greatly affected.

The Japanese troops stationed in China have shown a clear decline.

In terms of the overall strategic pattern in the East, the Second Theater of the Chinese Theater is just a small chess piece, while the northwest region of Shanxi Province is an even smaller chess piece on the military situation map of the Second Theater.

Li Yunlong's independent regiment did not have an official establishment on the troop establishment table of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and it did not even have a number.

Theoretically, it was an armed force that was free from the battle sequence of the Kuomintang army.

Even on the battle sequence of the Eighteenth Group Army, Li Yunlong's regiment, like many independent regiments or newly formed regiments, belonged to local units without official numbers.

Even the generals of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not know much about this small independent regiment, because in 1943 the total strength of the Eighth Route Army had grown from more than 80,000 in 1937 to more than 400,000, far exceeding the establishment of a group army.

Therefore, whether it is the headquarters of the Second Theater of the Kuomintang Army or the headquarters of the 18th Group Army, Li Yunlong's independent regiment is not even a small chess piece.

Who would have thought that this Li Yunlong could make such a big move.

Li Yunlong dedicated one-third of his troops to lead the local armed forces to send reinforcements, blocking all roads within 50 kilometers of the county seat, and laying thousands of earth-made mines alone.

At the operational meeting, Li Yunlong behaved extremely autocratic, he didn't like the word military democracy very much, one idea in the east and one idea in the west, who did he listen to?

Lao Tzu is the head of the regiment, so you have to listen to Lao Tzu.

He simply canceled the discussion and directly assigned the task: "A battalion picks up more than a dozen soldiers with good skills to disguise themselves as puppet soldiers, first sneak attack the north gate, and if the sneak attack fails, change to a strong attack, blow up the city wall with explosives, and divide all the attacking troops into four points, east, west, north and south, and attack at the same time, whoever enters first will be credited with great merit." 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. ”

Xing Zhiguo, deputy commander of the regiment, put forward a different opinion: "Regiment commander, it is always necessary to choose a direction of the main attack, concentrate the main forces in the direction of the main attack, and send small troops to feint at the other three points, so that it is difficult for the enemy to judge the direction of the main attack...... ”

Li Yunlong unceremoniously interrupted Xing Zhiguo's words: "Your tactics are too conformist, this time the ratio of our forces with the enemy is 5:1, the enemy's peripheral forces are very weak on the city wall, we will pour their forces into a strong attack on all sides, each point is the main direction of attack, the enemy has to let us lead the nose and turn each point into a key defense, but the enemy has less troops and more troops, so we will take advantage." You are responsible for allocating the troops, and the matter is settled, and the meeting is dismissed. ”

The battle began to heat up, and the sneak attack of the small forces almost succeeded but fell short.

The battle started at the north gate, and in an instant, gunshots like bursting beans were heard from the other three directions. The light and heavy machine guns above and below the city were fired at each other, and several echelons of demolition teams braved the rain of bullets to follow one after another, and the casualties were heavy from the beginning.

Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the attack at the north gate, saw that his hands were itchy, pushed away the machine gunner, and personally shot at the city wall with the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

The machine guns were so hard that the defenders of the city walls could not lift their heads.

The Demomen continue to fall with bullets, and new Demomen rush forward regardless of their lives, and it is a hard-fought battle in which both sides play for their lives.

As a Demoman struggled to climb to the base of the wall, holding his legs broken by a heavy machine gun, the defenders panicked and a string of grenades fell, and the wounded Demoman pulled the fuse before the grenade exploded......

There was a huge explosion on the ground, and a huge V-shaped gap appeared in the city wall, and the attacking troops rushed up like a tide, falling one by one...... At this time, with Ping'an County as the center, it is made into a pot of porridge within a radius of several hundred miles.

At this time, Li Tian received information that a wing of the Japanese army in Taiyuan had come to reinforce Ping'an County.

Knowing that Li Yunlong had already hit Ping'an County, the defenders couldn't bear it, so he gave an order.

"Tell the commander of the third battalion to lead them to our ambush site, and make sure to eat the whole wing. ”

Then he looked at the troops behind him and said loudly.

"Everyone speed up and take Ping'an County, I will give you credit. ”

Credit or something, Li Tian doesn't care, all he wants is to see if he can complete the task in this way, and at the same time rob another wave to see if he can grab something good.

If the mission is not completed, you can continue to complete the task by relying on the reward from the robbery.
