Chapter 51: The Enemy Plane Is Coming

Seeing this, Kuriyama knew that Mijiro Suzuki had already decided, and it was impossible to persuade him.

"Yes, Brigade Commander."

Kuriyama Seio nodded, then turned to Captain Kiyokazu and Nan, a communications staff officer on the side, and said, "According to the words of the brigade commander, I sent a telegram ordering the two brigades of the Ito Wing to continue westward. ”。

"In addition, send a report to the commander of the fighter plane who is flying over Ping'an County, and continue to carry out the task of bombing the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army under Ping'an County."

Qing Zhong and the male lieutenant stood up and paused and said, "Yes, Chief of Staff." ”。

Immediately, he turned around and returned to the communication room of the brigade headquarters, and asked the devil communication soldiers under his command to immediately send separate reports and contacts and give orders.

However, at this time, after Kuriyama Seio waited for Kiyonaka Kazuo to return to the communication room, he suddenly thought of something, and whispered to Mijiro Suzuki: "Brigade commander, do you want to report the news of the annihilation of the Sakata Wing to the commander?" ”。

"Not for now! Why don't we wait until we recapture Ping'an County and repel Li Yunlong's independent regiment? ”

When Mijiro Suzuki heard this, his head suddenly hurt a little.

This resulted in the loss of a full wing of troops, which left Mijiro Suzuki's 4th Brigade missing a leg.

All of a sudden, it is not an exaggeration to say that the vitality of the Fourth Brigade was greatly damaged.

At this time, he reported to Shinozuka Yoshinan the news that the Sakata Wing was completely annihilated, and it is estimated that there will be several calls back to reprimand and curse at that time.

What's more, Shinozuka Yoshinan's temper is not so good!

Kuriyama said worriedly: "If you don't report to the commander in time, if Li Yunlong's guy gets an electricity or something, I'm afraid it won't look good at that time." ”。

"Forget it!"

There is such a possibility, Li Yunlong's guy, who is the commander of the enemy army who is not afraid of heaven and earth, really has this possibility.

After all, the other party is estimated to also have a radio station, and as long as a clear code radio is issued, it is estimated that there is also this possibility.

You know, this is also a trick to humiliate the imperial army.

"Send a report to the headquarters!"

Mijiro Suzuki waved his hand helplessly, and now, Shinozuka Yoshinan, who was sure to receive the news at that time, would immediately call back and reprimand him.

I just don't know if the position of brigade commander can be kept.

"Yes, Brigade Commander."

Kuriyama said heavily, but when he turned around, the corners of his mouth were sly.

A few minutes later, at this time, he had already received a report from Mijiro Suzuki to the commander of the Ito Wing's westward reinforcements, that is, the Ito Wing's wing commander Taro Ito, who was staring at the telegram with a frown.

"Shinjiro Sakata is finished!"

After reading the telegram, Taro Ito handed the telegram to Kenjiro Fujita, the chief of staff of the wing on the side, and said with a solemn face.

When Kenjiro Fujita heard this, he took the telegram and read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, he was also shocked in his heart.

"The strength of the imperial army in Ping'an County is probably more than 1,700 people, plus a regiment of more than 1,200 imperial troops, and the strength of the defending city is nearly 3,000."

Kenjiro Fujita said in a condensed voice: "In less than an hour, he was actually eaten by Li Yunlong. ”。

"No wonder, Shinjiro Sakata will urgently ask the brigade headquarters to send reinforcements."

Taro Ito bowed his head, but then said: "Now that the brigade commander has ordered us to continue to advance westward and recapture the county seat of Ping'an, isn't this letting us go deep alone?" ”。

"Li Yunlong, this person is not easy to deal with!"

Fujita Kenjiro nodded, and said with a solemn look in his eyes: "In the battle of Cangyunling, Li Yunlong led a broken new regiment to break out of the encirclement of our wing in one fell swoop, and two shells knocked out the headquarters of the captain of the Sakata Nobuzhe Wing at that time. ”。

"This person is good at judging the situation and making quick moves without delay."

After a pause, Kenjiro Fujita said, "Captain, we are now alone in the two brigades, I'm afraid the future is not good!" ”

"But the wing captain has already ordered us to continue westward, and there is no choice but to continue to attack westward head-on."

Ito Taro shook his head and said, "But let our men not have to rush to the march, and attack and advance westward at the usual marching speed." ”。

"Let the cavalry reconnaissance unit set off first and conduct reconnaissance along the way. To ensure the rest of the journey, it is best to be able to detect the enemy ambush in advance. ”

Hearing this, Kenjiro Fujita said in a condensed voice: "Captain thinks that Li Yunlong's next target will be on us?" ”。

"Don't be careful!!"

Taro Ito nodded, his expression was very serious, and said: "The men and horses of the two brigades, attacking and advancing to the west like this, if Li Yunlong is not blind, he will not be able to see us." ”。

"Be careful, there's nothing wrong with that."

Kenjiro Fujita nodded and said heavily, "Yes, Captain." ”。

Immediately, Kenjiro Fujita immediately arranged for the cavalry reconnaissance force to send people out in front of the large army to conduct reconnaissance and reconnaissance.

The two large Japanese forces were attacking westward at their usual pace, and they were becoming more and more cautious.

After all, Mijiro Suzuki gave them the order to recapture the county seat of Heian without asking for it to be taken back immediately.

Then, it is also possible to go slowly to the west.

And with the passage of time, twenty minutes later, the south gate of Ping'an County was headed.

Li Yunlong, together with Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others, stared at the sky and clouds in the distance to the south at the head of the South Gate City.

"According to the time, it's almost time for the devil's fighter to come."

Li Yunlong took out the pocket watch that Zhao Gang gave him, opened it and looked at the time, it was almost nine o'clock and almost fifty.

"Almost!"

Zhao Gang said: "The battlefields in various places in Ping'an County have been cleaned up, and all kinds of captured weapons, equipment and ammunition have been hidden. ”。

"Uh-huh!!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said to Zhao Gang: "It's a pity that the light and heavy machine guns we captured, even if they are used as anti-aircraft machine guns, it is estimated that they will not be able to threaten the devil's Type 96 land attack aircraft. ”。

"The weather today was great and the visibility was good. The devil's Type 96 land attack planes can completely bomb horizontally, and there is no need to bomb at low fly. ”

Zhao Gang was also helpless when he heard this, and the independent regiment now had captured many light and heavy machine guns of devils.

If the devil flies a few hundred meters low, he can concentrate these light and heavy machine guns for firepower and air fire.

It's a pity that if the pilots of the little devils were not fools, they probably wouldn't have flown low to bomb.

"It would be nice if in the future we could capture anti-aircraft machine guns, or if we could make our own anti-aircraft machine guns, artillery, etc."

Zhao Gang said.

"Hey!!"

Li Yunlong only sighed secretly, this is not easy.

Just as he was talking, in the distant clouds above the south of Ping'an County, the roar of fighter planes suddenly came from far and near.

"Enemy planes are coming!"

Li Yunlong's ears were good, and then he pointed to the clouds above the remote part of the guide, and immediately said.

Zhao Gang and the others hurriedly looked up, only to see a series of Devil Type 96 fighters flying out of the clouds.

"Bombing by enemy planes, go down to the city, hide!!"

Li Yunlong didn't want to die under the devil's aerial bombs, so he immediately shouted, hurriedly went down the city with everyone, and rushed to the air defense bunker that had been found in advance to hide.
