The leader of the devil reconnaissance team hurriedly whispered to a scout beside him, "Hurry up!!! ”

"Yes!"

Then, radio waves traveled through the sky.

A few minutes later, Ping'an County.

Inside the city, the headquarters of the Sakata Wing of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal Pedal Kick Kick T Pedal Pedal Ped ”

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the communication room of the wing headquarters, and Shinjiro Sakata, who was looking at the map and waiting for news in the command room of the wing headquarters, looked sideways and saw that it was the chief of staff of the wing, Kazuo Hachihashi, who walked out of the communication room quickly.

I saw that Yahashi Kazuo had a solemn expression, walked quickly to Sakata Shinjiro, and said in a condensed voice: "Captain, the reconnaissance team is in an emergency, and a large number of men and horses of the independent regiment are rushing south through Yushugou towards Ping'an County. ”。

"Moreover, it is going south at the speed of a rapid march, and according to the urgent telegram report of the reconnaissance team, Li Yunlong's independent regiment will be under the city of Ping'an in about twenty minutes at most."

As he spoke, he handed the emergency telegram from the reconnaissance team in his hand to Shinjiro Sakata.

When Sakata Shinjiro heard this, his complexion changed dramatically in an instant, and Li Yunlong really dared to go south to attack Ping'an County.

I quickly took the telegram and read it, and it was already read in less than half a minute.

"Li Yunlong is so daring!!"

Sakata Shinjiro's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is to take advantage of the fact that our wing has lost the elite of two infantry brigades, and take advantage of the weakness to attack Ping'an County." ”。

"Li Yunlong, what a bold act!!"

A young man from Hachihashi said in a condensed voice: "Captain, at most around eight o'clock, Li Yunlong's independent regiment will be in the city. ”。

"According to the urgent telegram report of the reconnaissance team, the enemy troops passing through the elm ditch are at least a thousand people."

Sakata Shinjiro sneered: "A thousand people, does Li Yunlong think that this person can defeat Ping'an County?" ”。

"Co-captain, Li Yunlong will definitely have a backhand."

Kazuo Hachihashi said: "Captain, now Li Yunlong has made a move. ”。

"In the city of Ping'an County, there are only more than 1,700 people now, and this is the Wudi City, the Huting stronghold, where all the imperial troops have withdrawn to defend in the city."

After a pause, Kazuo Hachihashi said urgently, "Do you want to ask the brigade headquarters for reinforcements?" ”

"Otherwise, with the current strength in Ping'an County, I'm afraid that once Li Yunlong's troops come to the city, I'm afraid there won't be only a thousand troops to fight Ping'an County."

When Sakata Shinjiro heard this, he immediately said: "Hachihashi-kun, do you mean that Li Yunlong will use most of his independent regiment to besiege Ping'an County?" ”。

"That's right! I'm afraid this is Li Yunlong's backhand! Li Yunlong should know the current strength of our wing, as well as how complete the city defense fortifications in Ping'an County are. There are only 1,000 people, and they can't break through Ping'an County at all. ”

Kazuo Hachihashi nodded and said.

"It's just that I will report to the brigade headquarters now, once the brigade commander knows the casualties of my wing, I, Shinjiro Sakata, will I be able to control the wing in the future?"

Shinjiro Sakata said bitterly.

A man from Hachihashi was speechless when he heard this, but he was speechless in his heart, Wing Commander, you have already lost the strength of two infantry brigades, and you still think that the brigade commander will let you command the troops after learning of the losses? Think beautifully!

Impossible!

Report !!

Just as Shinjiro Sakata was hesitating whether to send an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade to request reinforcements, a report interrupted Shinjiro Sakata's next speech.

I saw Watanabe Jiichiro, the communications staff officer of the wing, hurriedly walked out of the communication room, holding a telegram in his hand, and said to Sakata Shinjiro in a hurry: "Report to the captain of the wing, Emperor Wu City has been lost." ”。

"In addition, the defenders of the Huting stronghold also called, and a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army attacked the Huting stronghold, probably at least one battalion of troops!"

When Shinjiro Sakata and Kazuo Yatsubashi heard it at the same time, their faces immediately changed drastically.

I saw that Kazuo Hatsuhashi hurriedly snatched the telegram from Kiichiro Watanabe, quickly read it, and handed it to Shinjiro Sakata.

"Captain, the strongholds of Emperor Wu City and Huting have been lost, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army have appeared in both directions, and the last urgent telegram from the defenders of Emperor Wu City has broken through the strength of the Eighth Route Army in Emperor Wu City, at least three thousand."

Sakata Shinjiro listened to Kazuo Hachihashi's words while reading the telegram, and his face changed greatly: "Could it be that they are all Li Yunlong's troops?" ”。

"Previously, the wing headquarters intercepted information about the strength of Li Yunlong's headquarters of the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment, and the total strength of Li Yunlong's independent regiment is probably more than 5,000 people."

Hachihashi Kazuo trembled in his heart, and then said: "With so many troops, I took down Emperor Wu City and the Tiger Pavilion stronghold with empty troops at once, it must be Li Yunlong's men." ”。

"It's too fast! Co-Captain!! ”

"Reinforcements must be requested, looking at this, the target must be coming to Ping'an County."

Sakata Shinjiro was finally not calm, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong's backhand to mobilize so many troops to go south and besiege Ping'an County.

Now relying on the imperial army that can be transferred into the city to defend alone, I am afraid that it will be a little impossible to hold the county seat of Ping'an.

"Watanabe-san, immediately send an urgent telegram to the brigade headquarters and send a telegram asking for reinforcements!!"

Shinjiro Sakata ordered Keichiro Watanabe with a serious expression on his face as communications staff officer: "Hurry up and drop, hurry up and drop it!" ”。

"Hay, Captain!!"

Watanabe Keiichiro paused heavily, and immediately turned around and returned to the communication room, asking the devil signal soldiers under his command to send an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade asking for reinforcements.

And Sakata Shinjiro ordered the chief of staff, Kazuo Hachihashi, "Order all troops to go to the castle and prepare for battle." ”。

"In addition, from now on, the whole city will be under martial law to prevent the hidden personnel sent by Li Yunlong from joining forces in the city to seize the city!!"

Kazuo Hachihashi stood up and saluted, and said with a heavy pause: "Hai, co-captain." ”。

Afterwards, Kazuo Hachihashi immediately stepped aside, picked up the field phone and began to deploy to defend the city.

Sakata Shinjiro looked at the isolated Ping'an County, and his expression became very serious.

"Bage Yalu, Li Yunlong, your appetite is really so big?"

Shinjiro Sakata muttered to himself.

At this time, the independent regiment commanded by Li Yunlong, who passed through Yushugou, went all the way along the dirt road and went straight south.

At 8:03 a.m., the sun had already appeared in the sky over Ping'an County.

More than 1,000 soldiers of the Independent Regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, took the lead in an infantry outside the north gate of Ping'an County!

Immediately, Li Yunlong gave an order and ordered the troops to start a battle formation, build an attack starting position outside the north gate, and look at the devils who were strictly guarding the north gate of Ping'an County!

"Regiment commander, the devil's radio signal was intercepted during the march, and according to decipherment, it was the Bantian Wing Headquarters in Ping'an County that sent an urgent telegram to the Fourth Brigade Headquarters asking for reinforcements."
