"Commander, transfer the 15th Independent Brigade to the front line of Shuocheng, what about the defense of Pingcheng?"

Michiichi Miyano reminded.

"Just let the troops who were originally stationed in Pingcheng defend the city, and now Pingcheng is near the northern end of Pingpu Road, and there are garrisons in various cities that can cooperate to defend Pingcheng nearby, and Pingcheng is fine!"

Shinozuka Yoshinan waved his hand and said.

"Order the 15th Independent Brigade to enter Shuocheng, and when the time is right, let the 15th Independent Brigade recapture Qingzhou City."

When Miyano Michichi saw this, he said, "Yes, Commander!!" ”。

Immediately, he asked Taro Saijo, a communications staff officer, to send a report to the headquarters of the 15th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army that was in Pingcheng, and transferred this unit to the front line of Shuocheng.

At this time, in Qingzhou City, Li Yunlong was commanding Zhang Dabiao and others to send some soldiers back to Ping'an County overnight to transport the captured materials in Qingzhou City.

By this time, it was almost half past five in the morning.

Qingzhou City, which was quiet in the dead of night, after a fierce battle at night, was naturally not calm everywhere in the city.

But if the lights are dark, naturally there will be no people in the city to go shopping.

At this time, Li Yunlong stood on the roof of the building where the headquarters of the Japanese army defending the city was located in the former Qingzhou City, looking at Qingzhou City, which had quieted down, and couldn't help but bow his head.

After Qingzhou City was taken, the barrier in the southwest of Ping'an County was established.

Although there is a Shuo City ten kilometers east of Qingzhou City, there are about a thousand devils in the city.

However, this little bit of devil troops, rushing to counterattack Qingzhou City, is just asking for a dead end.

"Dada!!"

Just as Li Yunlong was looking at the silent Qingzhou City from the rooftop, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Li Yunlong looked back and saw that it was Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion.

"Most of the seizures have already been transferred north, right?"

Li Yunlong smiled at the two.

"Commander !!"

It was Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, who answered to the mouth, and said: "Basically, they have all started to transfer north. ”。

"Hmm!!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head, Qingzhou City seemed to be a strong city, but the enemy army in the direction of Shuocheng must have been prepared.

Therefore, Li Yunlong did not take advantage of the situation to attack Shuocheng in the east, because the devils in Shuocheng must have withdrawn to Shuocheng to defend it to the death.

Sure enough, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, then interjected: "The devil reinforcements in the direction of Shuocheng have withdrawn to Shuocheng, and Sun Desheng's kid sent cavalry to follow Shuocheng. ”。

"The withdrawn devil reinforcements have closed the city and defended it, and the city fortifications are comparable to those of Qingzhou City."

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Then it will be difficult for Shuocheng to break the city by quietly entering the city through tunnels, I estimate that Yamamoto Kazuki should have fled into Shuocheng." ”。

Zhang Dabiao and Wang Huaibao both nodded, and Yamamoto Kazuki ran out of the city from the secret passage of the dark room in Qingzhou City, and the best place to stay could only be Shuocheng.

Otherwise, the Japanese troops in other cities were too far away from him, Yamamoto Kazuki.

What's more, it will be dawn in about an hour and a half.

Now even if Li Yunlong commanded the troops to attack Shuocheng, he would have to run for an hour to march in a hurry.

When the battle to attack Shuocheng begins, the devil's planes will also attack and bomb at dawn.

Now the independent regiment does not have too many heavy weapons for air defense.

Otherwise, how could Li Yunlong surprise attack Qingzhou City at night? It is because of the night combat that it can avoid the large-scale aerial bombardment and strafing of the devil fighters.

"Regiment leader, Qingzhou City has been taken, what should I do now?"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, asked.

"Shuocheng is no longer possible to attack and take it now, and it will dawn in an hour and a half to two hours. The devil's fighters are basically sure that as long as we attack Shuocheng, they will be dispatched to bomb. ”

Li Yunlong thought for a while, looked at Qingzhou City in the silence, and then ordered: "Qingzhou City will let the three battalions be stationed, and the first battalion and other troops will withdraw to Ping'an County in half an hour." ”。

"What do you think?"

Wang Huaibao can't deny it, at least he can be stationed in Qingzhou City, once the devils in Shuocheng come to counterattack, they can still get a fight, of course, he agreed with a smile.

However, Zhang Dabiao was unhappy and said: "Regiment commander, why did my battalion withdraw to Ping'an County!" ”。

"Next, the 9th Brigade of the Devil will go north, and it will probably gather in Jialin City, and then your battalion will be the troops blocking the 9th Brigade of the Devil, you kid are still afraid that you won't be able to fight?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao said: "Regiment commander, I think if I am a little devil, I don't want to take the road that goes west on the first line of Jialin City, it is too far, the supply line is too long, and it may be cut off by our cavalry company at any time." ”。

"It's also a possibility."

After Li Yunlong went through the battle of Qingzhou City, he was also a little contemptuous of devils for a while.

Hearing Zhang Dabiao say this, he immediately went down to the command room of the devil brigade headquarters under the roof with Zhang Dabiao and Wang Huaibao.

After asking Monk Wei Dayong to take the map and spread it out, Li Yunlong looked at the map.

"Da Biao, do you think the devil will put the main direction of attack here in Qingzhou City next?"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, nodded and said: "From the north of Qingzhou City to Ping'an County, the conditions are better, and the most important thing is that the traffic conditions are good. ”。

"Suitable for mechanized troops to attack and advance! The traffic conditions from Jialin City to Ping'an County, most of the roads are dirt roads, and the width of the dirt roads is not large. ”

After a pause, Zhang Dabiao analyzed: "I think the devil may put the main direction of attack on the side of Qingzhou City!" ”。

"What's more, the battle of Qingzhou City, it is estimated that Shinozuka Yoshinan already knows."

"This old devil won't know how strong our independent regiment's combat effectiveness is now."

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly became contemplative.

"If I were Shinozuka Yoshinan, what would I do after learning that Qingzhou City was lost?"

Li Yunlong suddenly muttered to himself.

However, Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion on the side, interjected, "Regiment commander, if I were Shinozuka Yoshinan, I would judge that if you want to counterattack Ping'an County and annihilate the independent regiment, I am afraid that it will not work with one brigade alone." “

"It is estimated that there will be more troops!"

When Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao heard it at the same time, their eyes lit up, and then they both suddenly became solemn.

"Commander, what Lao Wang said is very likely!"

Zhang Dabiao said with a serious expression.

Li Yunlong also bowed his head and said: "This is possible!" It's just that I don't know what the devil will do next. ”。

"If we increase our troops, I'm afraid it will give us more time to recuperate! Would Yoshinan Shinozuka do this? ”

Wang Huaibao and Zhang Dabiao glanced at each other, it's hard to say!

Just when everyone paused to think, the regimental headquarters signal corps came over.

"Report to the regiment commander, call from the brigade headquarters!"

The regimental headquarters signal soldier stood up and saluted.

"It can't be that the brigade commander called and scolded Lao Tzu, right? Hahaha!! ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said when he heard this.

"It's not the regiment commander, it's the brigade headquarters who call to commend you!"

The communication soldier of the regiment headquarters smiled and stood on the right path.
