Chapter 34: Ping'an County Asks for Help

At this time, he was in the headquarters of the 69th Division in Ping'an County. The intelligence officer rushed into Muto's office in a hurry.

"Division Commander's Pavilion, it's not good, it's not good." The agent entered the room and shouted panicked at Muto Mito.

"Yagayalu, what's all the fuss, is the sky falling?" Muto said with some dissatisfaction.

When the intelligence officer heard Muto's words, he paused and said, "Your Excellency the division commander, this is the case, there are a large number of eight roads at the city gate, and there is a tendency to surround the county seat of Ping'an, and now that the city gate has been closed, they ask what we should do?"

Hearing the intelligence officer's words, Muto Sanpao was completely panicked, and quickly stood up and asked, "Nani, a large number of armed men?" Or eight-way, what's the situation? Also, is there any news from the two wings and two brigades attacking Dagu Town?"

At this time, Muto Sanbei was really panicked in his heart, and now there was not much garrison force in Ping'an County at all, because of the attack on Dagu Town, he sent more than half of the manpower in the city.

Although the 69th Division has more than 10,000 troops, it must be known that more than 10,000 people have to defend three county seats, and there are also strongholds outside the county seats. Therefore, there are not many troops stationed in Ping'an County, only two brigades of less than 2,000 people.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Nakajima-kun from Dagu Town hasn't sent any news back for three hours, and I've sent them a telegram just now, but they haven't replied yet." The intelligence officer said with a somewhat flustered expression.

This situation shows that there must be something wrong with the troops attacking Dagu Town, otherwise it is impossible to be contacted, and it is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to besiege Ping'an County.

Hearing the words of the intelligence officer, Muto Mitsubi also knew the seriousness of the matter, although he didn't want to believe it, but the facts were in front of him, and even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't change the reality.

"Go, follow me up to the wall." After Muto Mitsubi finished speaking, he picked up the command knife and turned around and walked out of his office, walking in the direction of the city wall.

Seeing this, the intelligence officer had no choice but to follow.

When the two of them came to the city wall, the soldiers of the new regiment had almost surrounded the county seat of Ping'an. Muto Mikashi saw that the fighters of the new regiment were digging trenches, and looked at the posture, as if they were about to attack.

"It's Your Excellency the regiment commander, you see, the county town has been completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army over there." The intelligence officer pointed to the Eighth Route Army around and said to Muto Triple said.

"Let the two brigades left in the county immediately go to the city wall to defend, and now immediately notify Chenghe Heyuan County, Anhua County, to send a telegram, let them send troops for reinforcements, and report our situation to the headquarters. Request support if possible." Muto Mikashi said to the intelligence officer beside him while looking at the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

"Hayi." Hearing Muto's triple words, the intelligence officer responded, then turned and ran towards the telegraph room.

"Lao Zhao, do you see if the person on the city wall is a devil official?" Li Yunlong was holding a telescope at this time to observe every move on the city wall, but after seeing Muto three times, he felt that this person's temperament was not ordinary, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Gang on the side.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang also picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction pointed by Li Yunlong. When he saw the officer logo next to Muto Sanbei, he said, "Lao Li, it seems to be true, the military rank is not low, he is a general, this person's eight achievements are three times that of Muto."

"Damn, this old devil has finally shown his head. Go, call Wang Chengzhu to Lao Tzu, hurry up." Thinking of the weapons and equipment of an artillery squadron captured on the way, Li Yunlong couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

This is really a pie in the sky, because Muto tripled to mobilize an artillery squadron to support Nakajima Feng, and was met by a cavalry company that rushed to besiege the county town of Heian.

The devils of this artillery squadron didn't have time to deploy the artillery, Sun Desheng took them down with a roundabout charge, and the devils didn't even have a chance to blow up the artillery, and the shells didn't use all the shells to capture the new regiment.

The main reason why the battle was fought like this was that the two armies met too suddenly, and in the case that the artillery was not prepared, even if there were many troops, it was only a head-off.

And the sixty-ninth division

The artillery squadron is a reinforced squadron, the scale is not small, a total of 356 people, equipped with more than 200 rifles, eight light machine guns, four mortars, and four Type 92 infantry guns, all of which are cheaper than Li Yunlong's kid. When he learned about this kid, he almost went crazy with no joy.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the tiger on the side hurriedly ran to the rear and called Wang Chengzhu.

After a while, Huzi brought Wang Chengzhu to Li Yunlong.

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Huzi asked with some joy, and the smile on his face couldn't be hidden.

After all, he just got the equipment of an artillery squadron from the devil, how could he not be happy. As the only artillery unit of the new regiment, all this equipment will eventually fall into his hands.

"Pillar, do you see the man on the wall?" Li Yunlong pointed to the three times of the muto on the city wall and said to Wang Chengzhu, and handed over the binoculars after speaking.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Wang Chengzhu took the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction that Li Yunlong pointed on the city wall.

"Commander, you don't want me to bombard him for you, do you?" After reading it, Wang Chengzhu put the telescope aside and asked Li Yunlong.

"This person is the 69th Division of the Japanese Army, and the division commander Muto is three times larger, how is it, are you interested in killing him?" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu and said with a serious expression.

Although this distance can be shot with a sniper rifle, and their new regiment also happened to capture several long-range sniper rifles when they annihilated the Yamamoto special forces, Li Yunlong knew that a figure like Muto Sanbei could not be prepared at all when fighting on the city wall.

It's not safe to use a sniper rifle, and it is possible to startle the snake, but it's different with a cannon, even if he does a good job of protection, as long as he hits, it is guaranteed to blow him into scum.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, although this difficulty is a bit big, Wang Chengzhu still wants to give it a try, after all, the more difficult the task, the more challenging it is, and this is still a Japanese army official, at the level of a general, as long as the task is completed, then there will be no blowing. How could he miss out on such a good thing.

Even if you can't hit, there's nothing to lose, isn't it? So Wang Chengzhu opened his mouth and separated: "No problem, head of the regiment, you can just take a look." After speaking, Wang Chengzhu returned the telescope to Li Yunlong, turned his head and ran towards his artillery position.

Soon Wang Chengzhu ran back to his artillery position, and then operated a 105-mm mountain gun. personally mobilized Zhu Yuan to shoot, and then operated it, and finally glanced at the position where Muto tripled, and pulled the firing rope of the mountain cannon hard.

The cannonball came out of the hall in an instant, and then flew towards the shooting Zhu Yuan that Wang Chengzhu had set up.

"Your Excellency, Commander, beware of shelling." When the guards around Muto Mibe heard the sound of the cannonballs whistling, they immediately expected it to be bad, so they immediately threw Muto Mido to the ground and crushed him to the ground.

He had just knocked down Muto three times with his front foot, when the back foot shell followed, and then exploded. Thanks to him, Muto triple-pounced, otherwise Muto Triple would be in danger.

"Ono-kun, Ono-kun." After Muto Sandou came back to his senses, he hurriedly went to check on the guard who had just knocked him down, and he was no longer moving, and then he saw a few pieces of shrapnel stuck in his back.

"Yaga." Muto Mibe couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, get out of here quickly, it's too dangerous here." When the other devils saw Muto stand up, they hurriedly grabbed him and ran towards the city wall.

At this moment, they didn't care whether Muto Mitsu agreed or not, so they quickly descended the city wall and ran towards the headquarters.

Of course, this happened without escaping Li Yunlong's eyes, he watched Muto be erected down the city wall three times, but at this moment, he had no other way.

"This old devil's life is really big, he hasn't been killed yet, if it hadn't been for that devil who overthrew him just now, he would have been crushed by now." Li Yunlong said unwillingly to Zhao Gang on the side.

"Forget Lao Li, our plan is to besiege the county seat, not to take the county seat down." Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong was a little unwilling, so he persuaded him.

"Commander, Commander, what

Like, did you kill the devil official?" At this time, Wang Chengzhu also ran over and asked Li Yunlong. After all, he still had a lot of confidence in his shot, thinking that he had hit, so he ran over to Li Yunlong to ask for credit.

Hearing Wang Chengzhu's words, you Li Yunlong didn't reply, and Zhao Gang on the side saw that the scene was a little nervous and made Li Yunlong lose his temper, so he said: "The cannon of the pillar is still very accurate, mainly because the devil was lucky and was dodged by him."

"Don't be discouraged, I didn't kill him this time, just kill him next time." Zhao Gang explained to Wang Chengzhu again.

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Wang Chengzhu also knew that this time the cannon should have missed, so he didn't dare to ask Li Yunlong for credit, and ran back to the rear in a daze.

At this time, the soldiers of the first battalion ran over and reported to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, now that we have completed the siege of Ping'an County, our battalion commander asked me to come over and ask for instructions on whether to launch a wave of attacks on the devils next."

Hearing the words of the soldiers of the first battalion, Li Yunlong thought about it, although they didn't come this time to plan to take down the county seat, they also had to make a show, so that the devils thought that they were going to attack the county seat, and then asked for support.

"Go back and tell Zhang Dabiao, and also tell the second, third, and fourth battalions to launch a wave of sheep attacks on the county seat, and build up the momentum for me, so that we are bound to defeat the county seat, so as to disturb the devil's intentions."

"Yes, Captain." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the warrior responded, and then turned around to give the order.

After a while, the four battalions of the new regiment plus the local militia squads began to launch a large-scale sheep attack on Ping'an County.

It's just that the speed is very slow, although it feels like it's going to attack the city in terms of momentum, but if you look closely, you can still develop some problems.

[In view of the general environment,

"Your Excellency Division Commander, no, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack the city." The guards panicked and ran into the headquarters and shouted to Muto Miku.

"Nani, so quickly, tell the city defense brigade that they must resist, and in addition, immediately send an emergency telegram to Anhua County and Heyuan County, so that they can quickly start supporting Ping'an County." When Muto Mikashi heard the guard's words, he immediately shouted loudly, and at this time he had lost his bearings. Especially the cannon just now, it had already scared him, if it weren't for his own life, he would have to die on the city wall.

On the city wall just now, he had already seen the situation of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, although he didn't know how many people came, but just by relying on the lineup, there was no 10,000, and he didn't know when such a force appeared in his defense area.

Knowing this, he didn't send people to attack Dagu Town, but he didn't expect that a momentary mistake would cause such a big loss, not only filling in the strength of two wings and two brigades, but also not having an artillery squadron.

Now the defense strength of the city has dropped to the lowest moment in history, and if the county town of Ping'an is conquered by the enemy, he will become a laughing cake in the Japanese army. Not only will his own life be in danger, but his family power in his homeland will also be suppressed by the military.

After thinking about it, Muto Mibi still felt a little unsafe, so he said, "In addition, send a telegram to the headquarters to tell them about our situation here, and ask for tactical guidance."

"Hayi." The guard said yes and ran out to give the order. After all, if the Eighth Route Army attacked the city, none of them would be able to escape.

…………

And in the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Kusuyama Hideyoshi also received a telegram from Muto Mitsuka, so he immediately rushed into Shinozuka Yoshio's office.

"Your Excellency Commander, no, the commander of the 69th Division, Muto sent a telegram three times, saying that the Eighth Route Army has surrounded Ping'an County, and the preliminary judgment is that it should be Li Yunlong's new regiment." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said to Yoshio Shinozuka with a telegram.

"Nani, Ping'an County is surrounded by Li Yunlong's new group?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked a little incredulously, you must know that the 69th Division is a division, although it is defending three county seats, it is equally divided into each county seat

's strength is not a small number, especially since he also lined up two wings of troops to go over to support. Moreover, Li Yunlong is only a regiment, how can he surround a county town, this is the biggest joke he heard today.

"According to the information feedback, the two wings we sent to support are likely to have been wiped out by Li Yunlong, and the new regiment is not the strength of a regiment, according to the description of the division commander Muto three times, there are 10,000 horses besieging Ping'an County, and they also have artillery." As the chief of staff of the military region, Kusunayama Hideyoshi is still very level, but according to the news that Muto has reacted three times back, he concluded that the two wings that went to attack Dagu Town have been wiped out by the new regiment.
