Chapter 37: Ito United
In the temporary field headquarters behind a hillside outside the north gate of Ping'an County, the communications corps of the army reported to Li Yunlong.
"Oh?"
Li Yunlong was surprised, then took the telegram from the communication soldier and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Special mother, the little devil is asking for reinforcements at this time, it's a little too late!" ”。
As he spoke, he handed the telegram he had read to the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao and the second battalion commander Shen Quan and others on the side to circulate it.
Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others also read it quickly!
"Commander!!"
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said with a smile: "Sakata Shinjiro really shrank all the devil soldiers of the rest of the wing in various strongholds outside the city back to defend the city, but unfortunately, the remaining strength of the Sakata wing in the city is only more than 1,700 people. ”。
"But the little devils have all gone to the head of the city to defend the city, and if they attack in a hurry, I'm afraid they won't be able to break the city quickly."
Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, interjected, "I look at the devils at the head of the North Gate City, and it is estimated that there are about three or four hundred people. ”
"There are a lot of light and heavy machine guns, and there are a lot of machine guns sticking out of the battlements!!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "I also observed, the city is guarded by devils, and the number of the Imperial Association Army is very small. ”。
"It seems that at this time, Sakata Shinjiro did not believe in the loyalty of the Imperial Army, and did not dare to transfer the Imperial Army back to the city to assist in defending the city."
Zhang Dabiao said: "Sakata Shinjiro put most of the Imperial Association army in the ring defense position outside the city to defend the city, and behind him was the devil light and heavy machine gun at the head of the city, and this part of the Imperial Association army probably had less than 1,200 troops in one regiment. ”。
"Regiment commander, I think we must first kill the Imperial Alliance Army in the defensive position of the trenches around the city."
Li Yunlong didn't care, and said: "There are so many ways for these puppet soldiers to save their lives, and they basically won't die!" ”。
"When the battle starts, it will be crushed with one blow!"
After a pause for a few seconds, Li Yunlong continued: "Emperor Wu City, the stronghold of Tiger Pavilion, has been taken by the troops who went south in the future. We attack Ping'an County, Emperor Wu City in the northwest, and Huting stronghold in the northeast, and the devil strongholds behind these two places will not pose a threat to us from behind. ”。
"The rest of the first battalion, the second battalion, and all the men and horses of the third battalion will probably arrive at the city of Ping'an County within fifteen minutes."
"Now, we have to see how to fight Ping'an County!"
Everyone immediately stared at the map that was laid out, and one of the battalion commanders, Zhang Dabiao, took the lead and said: "Regiment commander, once the follow-up troops arrive, the total strength of our siege of Ping'an County this time is 7,000 men and horses, which is more than three times the devil defenders in the city. ”。
"How about a full-scale siege, regardless of the main and secondary attacks?"
When Li Yunlong, Shen Quan and others heard this, their eyes lit up, this is true.
At present, the independent regiment is very arrogant, and the actual strength of each battalion exceeds the number required for the establishment of one battalion.
According to the accident, Li Yunlong was not sure to attack with the strength of a single regiment.
This time, Li Yunlong mobilized the first battalion, most of the main forces of the second battalion, and all the three battalions, totaling more than 7,000 men and horses to besiege Ping'an County.
Even if the troops are divided into all directions to besiege, the siege force on each side is 2,000, which is definitely an overwhelming advantage in terms of troops.
"This can be !!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "In this way, the devils in the city don't even have a chance to concentrate their forces against us in one direction." ”。
", that's it!!"
However, this is the second battalion commander Shen Quan reminded loudly: "Regiment commander, the devils in the city have sent an urgent telegram to the headquarters of the fourth brigade to request reinforcements. ”。
"I'm afraid we're going to have to divide our troops to send reinforcements."
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "Ping'an County is an isolated city, and most of the troops of the surrounding devils' strongholds have been transferred back to the city by Sakata Shinjiro to defend the city. ”。
"Other devil reinforcements, if they want to kill the reinforcements in Ping'an County, most of them have to pass through Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment defense area, as well as Ding Wei's new regiment, Kong Jie's new second regiment and others."
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued to point to the map and said, "The devil reinforcement that poses the most threat to us is only the Ito Wing stationed in Jialin City by the Fourth Brigade. ”。
"However, Jialin City is now the location of the brigade headquarters of the Fourth Brigade of the Devils, and it is impossible for the Ito United to send all of them to reinforce Ping'an County."
"It must leave at least one brigade of troops behind to hold Jialin City."
Zhang Dabiao and the others nodded!
"Then, the devils who set out from Jialin City to reinforce Ping'an County will have at least one brigade of troops to help, and at most two brigades."
Zhang Dabiao said in a condensed voice: "Even if there is only one brigade to help, it will definitely enhance the confidence of the devil defenders in Ping'an County." ”。
"Fortunately, Ping'an County is thirty kilometers away from Jialin City, and even if it is a rapid march, the little devil will have to run for three hours. Ito United, but there are no trucks directly mechanized to carry reinforcements to reinforce Shinjiro Sakata. ”
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said with a smile: "As long as we deal with the rest of the Bantian Wing and capture the county seat of Ping'an before the devil reinforcements on this road arrive, there will be no problem." ”。
Everyone nodded, and that was true.
"That's it!! Wait for the follow-up troops to arrive, fully surround Ping'an County, and attack the city on time at 8:40!! ”
Li Yunlong finally said.
"Yes, Captain!!"
When the people heard this, they stood right.
At this time, at the head of the north gate, an old devil and another old devil sneakily leaned against the wall battlements and looked out of the city through the battlements.
I saw that after the 1,000 independent regimental soldiers commanded by Li Yunlong approached the city, they did not divide their troops to block the three gates of Ping'an County.
On the one hand, there are not enough troops, and on the other hand, if the devils in the city abandon the city and leave, it is actually not bad.
It's a pity that Shinjiro Sakata has no intention of abandoning Heian County, because Heian County is very important.
It's easy to abandon it, but it's hard to recapture it.
After all, if the city is attacked and recaptured in Ping'an County, the siege loss of the little devil will be very large, and the devil is not a god.
"Wing Commander, the strength of the independent regiment outside the city must be a thousand."
The one who spoke was the chief of staff of the Sakata Wing, Kazuo Hachihashi, who put down the binoculars, and said: "The rest of the defenders at the head of the three gates report that there are no large number of enemy troops besieging the city outside the city. ”。
"That's because the rest of Li Yunlong's follow-up troops haven't arrived in Ping'an County yet!"
Shinjiro Sakata shook his head and said, "But it's almost there!" ”。
"Captain, in fact, we were able to withdraw from Ping'an County before Li Yunlong's 1,000 men and horses outside the city arrived under the city."
Kazuo Hachihashi said in a low voice.
"Withdraw from Ping'an County, don't think about it, the brigade commander knows that he will not skin me alive!"
Sakata Shinjiro said bitterly, not to mention that it is easy to withdraw from Ping'an County, but this has a great impact on the control of the Japanese army in the northwest of Jin.
Shinjiro Sakata didn't dare to abandon Ping'an County easily.
"The reinforcements sent by the brigade commander will be all of the Ito Wing?"
Suddenly, Shinjiro Sakata said to Kazuo Hachihashi.
