Kenjiro Fujita said: "It is estimated that they are carrying out bombing missions, and if it is to investigate, we have not asked for it. ”。

"Call back to the flight commander of the air raid on Ping'an County, asking them to stay in the sky around Ping'an County and reconnoiter the next movement trajectory of the independent regiment from the air."

Taro Ito frowned and said, "I want to know if the independent regiment will withdraw from Heian County next." ”。

"Yes, Wing Commander."

Kenjiro Fujita nodded, and then immediately turned to the staff officer on the side and instructed: "According to the instructions of the wing commander, call back to the flight commander." ”。

"Yes, Chief of Staff!!"

The staff officer of the wing left in response.

At this time, Taro Ito stood on the side of the road, looking at the two groups of Japanese troops advancing at their usual marching speed, and felt very depressed.

"Captain, if Li Yunlong doesn't want to engage the imperial army head-on in Ping'an County, he should also withdraw from Ping'an County."

Seeing that Taro Ito was depressed, Kenjiro Fujita comforted: "Even if we are soldiers in the city at this time, it is estimated that the independent regiment in the city should be gone." ”。

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Taro Ito shook his head and said, "Li Yunlong is a cunning commander of the Eighth Route Army, not to be underestimated, not to be underestimated. ”。

"It's a pity that Shinjiro Sakata was actually planted in the hands of Li Yunlong, and he didn't even take revenge for his brother Sakata Shinzhe."

Kenjiro Fujita nodded, but said: "Captain, the results of the aerial reconnaissance, it is estimated that Li Yunlong's independent regiment should be carrying a large amount of grain, grass, ammunition and weapons and equipment stored in the city of Ping'an County. ”。

"Now that the battle has been fought, Li Yunlong's men and horses should be tired, right?"

Taro Ito looked at the Japanese soldiers under his command who were constantly marching, and then said, "Maybe! ”。

"That's right! A large number of small units of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army that are advancing to Ping'an County are still continuing to rush to Ping'an County for reinforcements? ”

Kenjiro Fujita said: "Back to the captain of the wing, I'm still in a hurry." ”。

"It's just that the latest news I got is that the small units of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army that rushed to and fro around Ping'an County were blocked and delayed in the defense area of the new first regiment and the new second regiment of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the 358th regiment of the Jin Sui Army Chu Yunfei."

After a pause, Kenjiro Fujita continued, "Unfortunately, it's too late and there's no chance. Sakata Shinjiro's men and horses have been wiped out. Now there is no point in continuing reinforcements, Wing Captain. ”

"But the two brigades of our wing still need to continue to rush to Ping'an County according to the order of the brigade commander, hey!"

After a few seconds of pause, Taro Ito continued: "Command the troops, stay vigilant, and move on. ”。

"Yes, Wing Commander."

Kenjiro Fujita nodded, and immediately said.

Immediately, the Japanese soldiers of the two brigades of the Ito Wing continued to advance west at the usual pace along the road leading to the county seat of Heian County.

At this time, Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

"Commander!"

Major General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, hurriedly arrived and reported to Yoshinan Shinozuka: "The Fourth Brigade Headquarters has called, and the rest of Sakata Shinjiro in Heian County has been wiped out. ”。

"Shinjiro Sakata has already sent a farewell telegram to the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade, and now the Fourth Brigade has confirmed that Shinjiro Sakata cannot be contacted. Sakata United, it's over! ”

When Shinozuka Yoshinan heard this, his face changed slightly, and he immediately snatched the telegram from Miyano Michi's hand and looked at it.

"Li Yunlong's independent regiment actually has five or six thousand men and horses?"

Shinozuka Yoshinan frowned and said, "It's too bizarre that a wing was eaten by someone in less than a day. ”。

"But it's true, Commander."

Michiichi Miyano didn't believe it, but he still said helplessly: "This is a call from the Fourth Brigade Headquarters, it can't be wrong." ”。

"What's more, we used several radio stations in the headquarters to try to contact Shinjiro Sakata directly, but we couldn't get in touch, and it is estimated that the urgent report of the Fourth Brigade was not false."

When Yoshinan Shinozuka heard this, his face was gloomy.

Then, the old devil's eyes were fixed on the huge military map placed on the table in the center of the headquarters command room.

After pondering for a while, Shinozuka Yoshinan said in a condensed voice: "Heian County needs to be recaptured, Mijiro Suzuki continues to order the two brigades of the Ito Wing to move west, and the plan to recapture Pingan County is feasible. ”。

"However, it is estimated that at this time, Li Yunlong's independent regiment may have already been transported and withdrawn from Ping'an County, right?"

Miyano nodded and said, "That's what the commander said. ”。

"The Eighth Route Army is generally facing the heavy attack of the imperial army, and if the captured county town cannot be defended, they will easily take away the weapons and equipment captured in the city, grain, grass and ammunition and withdraw from the city, and will not wait for our soldiers to attack the city."

Shinozuka Yoshinan bowed his head and said, "Call back Mijiro Suzuki, and ask him to command the troops and take back Ping'an County." ”。

"Yes!!"

Miyano nodded slightly, and then waved his hand to signal a devil staff officer on the side to send a report.

"That's right!!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Shinozuka Yoshinan asked Miyano Michiichi, "What about Yamamoto Kazuki?" ”。

"Yamamoto Dazuo secretly went out of the city before Li Yunlong's troops completely surrounded Ping'an County, and at present, he is withdrawing to Qingzhou City in the southwest."

Miyano Michiichi said with a strange face: "This ......."

"Call Kazuki Yamamoto and let him rest in Qingzhou City!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan admired Yamamoto Kazuki, but he didn't expect Yamamoto Kazuki to run away.

But after thinking about it, Yamamoto Kazuki is very keen on special operations, and he probably doesn't want to accompany Sakata Shinjiro to defend Heian County.

It's just that it's enough to run away like this and sit back and watch Shinjiro Sakata fall.

However, there is still merit in special operations, and Shinozuka Yoshinan does not want the rest of the special team trained by Yamamoto Kazuki to be eaten by Li Yunlong.

"Yes, Commander."

Miyano nodded a little, knowing what to do next.

It's just that Shinozuka Yoshinan has already recorded the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army that completely annihilated the Sakata Wing in the small book at this time, and this is the enemy force that must be besieged.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was recorded in a small book by Shinozuka Yoshinan, had already led the first battalion and the second battalion to sneak to Liujia Town.

The town of Liujia spreads along both sides of the valley, but there is hardly much water in the valley.

It can be said that the devils who enter Liujia Town can go all the way west along the riverbed of the river valley.

"Commander, listen!!"

Suddenly, Li Yunlong, who was commanding two battalions to seize the commanding heights on the edge of the river valley on both sides of Liujia Town, was pointed to the sky in the distance to the east by Zhang Dabiao, the commander of a battalion beside him, and said in silence.

"The roar of the devil fighter!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately looked up, and sure enough, it came with the roar of fighter planes.

Soon, two Devil Type 96 land attack planes suddenly flew out of the clouds in the east over Liujia Town and flew westward with a roar.

"Quick, let the brothers hide!"

Li Yunlong immediately shouted.
