"Yes, Captain."

The heralds of the independent regiment stood up and saluted, and then rushed down to give the order.

Li Yunlong, together with Zhao Gang and others, continued to inspect the battlefields after the fierce battle.

Now the devil fighter plane will fly over Ping'an County for at least twenty-three minutes, and now, there is no hurry to dodge.

However, at this time, in the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army in Jialin City, the brigade commander Mijiro Suzuki was not in such a wonderful mood.

"Click!!

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Mijiro Suzuki, who was staring at the military map, looked up and saw that it was the chief of staff of the brigade, Kuriyama Seio Osa, who had arrived in a hurry, and his face was also very bad.

With a pause, Mijiro Suzuki suddenly became worried.

"Yaga, it can't be Shinjiro Sakata calling, right?"

Mijiro Suzuki couldn't help but guess, and he felt that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Kuriyama Wasao Osa made Mijiro Suzuki's mood fall to the bottom all of a sudden, "Brigade commander, a message from Shinjiro Sakata to say goodbye." ”

"Nani? Don't rush electricity? ”

Mijiro Suzuki, who was listening, suddenly threw away the pencil in his hand and stared at Saio Kuriyama and asked in shock.

"Yes, brigade commander."

Kuriyama Seio also said bitterly: "Sakata Shinjiro sent a farewell telegram, and Li Yunlong led his troops to surround the command room of his wing headquarters, and the distance was less than twenty meters. ”。

"There are not many remnants left, the flag of the wing, and the confidential documents have all been smashed and burned!"

After a few seconds of relief, Kuriyama continued, "Now, our radio station is no longer able to contact Shinjiro Sakata. ”

"The brigade commander, the command of Shinjiro Sakata, is estimated to have been murderous and unlucky at this time, and has been completely captured by Li Yunlong's troops."

Mijiro Suzuki stumbled after hearing this, but fortunately, Kuriyama Seio stepped forward with sharp eyes and stepped forward to support Mijiro Suzuki, and urgently persuaded: "Brigade commander, hold steady!" ”。

"How is that possible? How can it be? ”

After Mijiro Suzuki was supported by Kuriyama Seio, he sat on the stool with his butt in his ass, his eyes were full of shock, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Eight grid tooth road, how is it possible?" When defending the county seat of Hei'an, Sakata Shinjiro still had a brigade and other departments in his hands, a regiment of the Imperial Army! ”。

"There are nearly 3,000 people, even if it is 3,000 pigs, it will not be a problem to be able to hold Ping'an County for two hours!"

Kuriyama said helplessly: "But Shinjiro Sakata has already sent a farewell emergency telegram, and at the last moment, he has already burned confidential documents and smashed other radio stations." ”。

"Brigade commander, this is the last move of the enemy army to fight outside the headquarters!"

"Sakata United, it's over!"

When Mijiro Suzuki heard this, he still felt shocked in his eyes.

The strength of a wing, you said that the independent regiment of Li Yunlong was eaten by Li Yunlong's independent regiment in less than half a day, who believes it?

But it doesn't work if you don't believe it, at least now his brigade headquarters radio is no longer able to contact Sakata Shinjiro's command.

This shows that the farewell emergency message sent by Shinjiro Sakata has announced the destruction of the Sakata United.

At least, he Mijiro Suzuki also got the news of the annihilation of the Sakata United under his command.

Seeing that Mijiro Suzuki was still in shock, Kuriyama Seio, who reported the situation, reminded stubbornly: "Brigade commander, the entire Annihilation of the Sakata Wing is probably doomed." ”。

"Now that the two brigades of the Ito Wing are on their way westward, do you order them to stop advancing?"

Hearing this, Mijiro Suzuki, who came back to his senses, couldn't continue to shock the annihilation of the entire Sakata Wing, and stood up suddenly, supporting the table with both hands, and staring at the map of northwest Jin with his eyes.

"Ping'an County is in the defense area of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the New Second Regiment and other departments, and the dogs and teeth are staggered. was captured by Li Yunlong, then the imperial army would inevitably lose the favorable situation of attacking the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army and the new 2nd Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Mijiro Suzuki gritted his teeth and said: "Ping'an County must not be lost. ”。

"Otherwise, how will the next battle be fought?"

Kuriyama Seio listened to it and thought about it, which seemed to make sense.

It's just that Sakata Shinjiro has reported before that the independent regiment besieging Ping'an County has at least five or six thousand troops.

Even if there are only 5,000 troops, the strength of the two brigades marching west alone, will they not be blocked by the independent regiment under the city of Ping'an County.

In urban offensive and defensive warfare, the casualties of the attacking side are definitely large.

In particular, the independent regiment that is now fighting the urban offensive and defensive war actually broke the city all at once, and it is conceivable that Li Yunlong's troops also have a hand in the urban offensive and defensive battle.

The Ito Wing advanced westward to reinforce Shinjiro Sakata, and there were only two infantry brigades, with a total strength of just over 2,300 people.

If he is surrounded and annihilated by Li Yunlong, with Li Yunlong's current strength in Ping'an County, it is possible.

So, Kuriyama told Mijiro Suzuki what he was worried about.

Mijiro Suzuki heard this and fell silent.

"Brigade commander, the enemy is outnumbered, if the two brigades of the Ito Wing continue to advance westward, the possibility of recapturing Ping'an County is probably not very great."

Kuriyama Seio stubbornly suggested, "Should you order them to stop advancing and withdraw to Jialin City?" ”。

"Now Li Yunlong has too many troops in his hands, and I'm afraid the two brigades are not opponents."

Mijiro Suzuki didn't answer immediately, but thought in silence for a full minute.

"The location of Ping'an County is important, even if it is the commander in the direction of Taiyuan City, he will not agree to lose Ping'an County."

Mijiro Suzuki pointed to the map of northwest Jin, and said in a condensed voice: "What's more, if we lose the county seat of Ping'an, our brigade will replenish its forces in the future and carry out a counterattack on the independent regiment." ”。

"Then, the army needs to start from Jialin City and march westward, and it will take a full thirty kilometers to reach Ping'an County. That's too bad. ”

Kuriyama Seio answered, "But brigade commander, the situation is unfavorable right now. If the two brigades of Ito United continue to advance westward, they will already be alone. ”

"Li Yunlong now has too many troops in his hands, and he can definitely strike at the two brigades through ambushes, encirclement, etc. It was better to withdraw, or to stop moving on the spot. ”

Of course, Mijiro Suzuki understands that what Kuriyama Seio said is right, but he is unwilling.

The annihilation of the Sakata United is a shame.

Now, if the two westward expansion brigades of Ito Wing were ordered to withdraw and return, then Mijiro Suzuki's face would be disgraced.

Thinking of this, Mijiro Suzuki felt uncomfortable.

"If you don't fight, who knows if Li Yunlong will still be in Ping'an County?"

Mijiro Suzuki gritted his teeth and said to Kuriyama Seio: "Order Taro Ito to command his two brigades to continue **** An county town must be recaptured." ”。

"Then contact the flight commander of the imperial army of the five fighters dispatched, and let them continue to fly to Ping'an County for bombing."
