"Yes, Wing Commander."

Kazuo Yatsuhashi also looked solemn, and immediately walked to the communications room of the wing headquarters after a heavy pause, and personally ordered the communications staff officer Watanabe Jiichiro to send a telegram to contact the commander of the Japanese air force fighter plane who had been reinforced.

At this time, the Devil Flying Commander commanded five Type 96 land attack planes that were still flying high above Ping'an County, and there was still nearly 40 minutes of flight time left.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and I'm afraid that time is no longer enough for the remnants of the encircled Sakata United.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Da-da-da-da, da-da-da!!"

Dense rain of bullets and the sound of shell explosions poured in from the outside of the enclosure.

Shinjiro Sakata ran directly to the roof of the fifth floor of the building where the command room of the wing headquarters was located, raised his binoculars and observed.

The weather was nice, and the sound of shouts and explosions filled the air.

"Bang!!"

Sakata Shinjiro smashed his fist on the edge of the roof wall, gritted his teeth and said, "The offensive of the independent regiment is so fierce. ”。

"Wing Commander, the commander of the flight formation called back, they still have forty minutes to get to the sky above the county seat, let us hold on."

At this time, the voice of a man from Hachihashi who ran up to the roof came from behind him, standing upright.

"Got it!"

Shinjiro Sakata looked helpless when he heard this, it was far from the nearest airfield, and there were still forty minutes to arrive for air support, so it was better not to count on it.

"I'm afraid I can't count on the reinforcement of fighters in the aviation forces, how is the situation of the outer defense now?"

Shinjiro Sakata smiled helplessly, and then asked Kazuo Hachihashi.

Kazuo Hachihashi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The situation is not optimistic. ”。

"Although according to the urgent order of the wing commander, the imperial army of Ximen and the other three gates quickly withdrew to the city, but they still lost some men and horses on the way, but most of them safely withdrew and moved closer to the wing headquarters."

After a pause, Kazuo Hachihashi continued, "Now, the outer defense has been stabilized, but the various units of the Independent Regiment have surrounded the wing headquarters, and the water is impassable, even if we want to break through at this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to." ”

When Shinjiro Sakata heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight to the death." ”。

"Li Yunlong is this person, but he annihilated the Yamazaki Brigade, and in the battle of Cangyunling, he broke through the ruthless people of the encirclement of the wing head-on. Falling into the hands of Li Yunlong, the soldiers of the imperial army were definitely not good. ”

Hachihashi Kazuo said heavily, "The humble post has ordered the warriors of the imperial army of all departments not to surrender, and to fight to the death and wait for help." Those who dare to surrender will be shot on the battlefield and will not be tolerated! ”

"Yo Xi! Yo West! ”

Shinjiro Sakata nodded with bitterness and satisfaction, and then continued to raise the binoculars, looking at the people of the independent regiment approaching in various places on the periphery of the compound of the wing headquarters, his face was gloomy and bitter.

At this time, Li Yunlong had also entered the city with a squad of soldiers from outside the north gate of Ping'an County.

Of course, a reserve of 1,000 people was also left outside the city and handed over to Zhao Gang to command, so as not to have an accident.

Soon, at about 8:57 in the morning, Li Yunlong rushed to the outside of the Japanese army headquarters in the city.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

"Commander!!"

As soon as they met, Li Yunlong met Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao.

"Hmm!!"

Li Yunlong smiled, nodded and said, "The brothers are playing well, what is the situation now?" ”。

"The devil Sakata team headquarters has been completely surrounded, and the water surrounding the devil team headquarters is impassable."

It was Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, who spoke, and said: "Even if Sakata Shinjiro wants to surrender now, it is impossible. ”。

"The losses of our troops are not much, and more than 6,000 fighters are already making final preparations for the attack."

Li Yunlong bowed his head, then walked to the roof of a private house, raised his binoculars and observed.

I saw that the place where the Bantian United Team Headquarters was located was originally the county government compound in the city, and the courtyard wall was three meters high.

Outside the gate of the Bantian Wing Headquarters, many sack barricades were used to build a machine-gun ring fortification, and at least eight Type 92 heavy machine guns were concentrated outside the gate, staring at the approaching soldiers of the Independent Regiment.

"The little devil has deployed the focus of defense at the gate, how is the situation at the back door?"

Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao.

"The back door direction is the second battalion in charge!"

Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, immediately spoke up: "Regiment commander, there should be three hundred devils at the back door, and the defense is also very tight. ”。

"But there aren't many heavy machine guns, but there are five or six light machine guns!!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "It seems that the devil's defense is no longer strong. ”。

"Then concentrate your forces and solve the remnants of the devil for me within half an hour! In addition, if you can catch Shinjiro Sakata alive, then catch it alive! ”

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, interjected and asked: "Regiment commander, what if you don't believe that you have been killed?" ”。

"Then let's kill it, there are bullets on the battlefield, and if you are killed, you deserve Shinjiro Sakata."

Li Yunlong smiled: "It's almost nine o'clock now, and there are less than two minutes left." ”。

"At 9:05, concentrate all the artillery and mortars that you have brought, grenadiers, and bombard!!"

"After bombarding for five minutes and blowing up all parts of the wall of the compound of the Devil's Wing Headquarters, all the units launched an attack at the same time and attacked the Devil's Wing Headquarters together."

When Zhang Dabiao and others heard this, they all stood up and said: "Yes, head of the regiment!" ”。

"Ready!!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and picked people up!

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and the others immediately dispersed and returned to the various units to prepare.

At this time, Sakata Shinjiro also saw the people of the independent regiment of the joint team headquarters and began to move.

Among them, it can be clearly seen that the Zhang Dabiao division of the first battalion pressed down from the north is concentrated with the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars brought by the artillery company of the independent regiment, and is setting up artillery to adjust the shelling coordinates.

"Eight Tooth Road! It is a pity that the last few Type 92 infantry guns of the wing were blown up by the enemy's artillery fire. ”

Sakata Shinjiro was helpless even when he saw Wang Chenghai, the commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, directing the artillery soldiers to build artillery positions.

After the fierce battle began until the last battalion reached the vicinity of the wing headquarters, Shinjiro Sakata ordered the only two Type 92 infantry guns to fire on the battalion killed in the north.

But after firing a few shots, Wang Chenghai commanded the artillery soldiers to blow them up with five Type 92 infantry guns.

Time quickly passed in the curses of Shinjiro Sakata.

At 9:05 in the morning, accompanied by Wang Chenghai, commander of the artillery company of the Independent Regiment, gave an order.

All the artillery, mortars and grenadiers brought with them were heavily shelled at the perimeter where the Sakata wing headquarters was located and the buildings of the wing headquarters inside it.

The general offensive has begun!
