"Ten thousand? He, Li Yunlong, is not a regiment commander, how can he have so many troops?"

Hearing Nanshan Hideyoshi's words, Yoshio Shinozuka was very shocked, you must know that with the current structure of the Chinese army, 10,000 people, this is the size of a division. And Li Yunlong's new regiment is obviously a regiment, and there are only two or three thousand people at most.

Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, although he knew that it was difficult for him to accept, Kusuyama Hideyoshi still explained: "Your Excellency Commander, you still don't know the speed of the Eighth Route Army's expansion of troops, although the new regiment is a regimental formation, as long as their superior leaders do not blame, it is not up to him to decide how many troops he wants to expand.

"Let's talk about Ping'an County first, we know this person, Muto-kun is a very proud guy, he won't ask for help unless he has to. Now that he has asked us for tactical guidance, it shows that the situation has reached a point of no return, and he himself has little hope of holding the county seat."

"Nanshan Army, I know what you want to say, but we are far away from him Taiyuan, even if we want to support him, it is far from quenching his thirst, at this time, we still have to rely on himself, besides, doesn't the 69th Division have troops stationed in Anhua County and Heyuan County, isn't it enough to mobilize the troops of these two counties to relieve him to resolve the crisis?"

It's not that Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't want to support Muto three times, but he is really weak, mainly because the distance is too far, and the vicinity of Taiyuan is not without pressure, there are not only the Eighth Route Army but also the Jin Sui Army in Yan Xishan around, if there are many troops sent, then these troops will definitely have to make a move, and the troops sent are small, and they have to pass through more than ten defense areas, even if they can pass safely, it may be too late when the troops arrive.

"Your Excellency Commander, although the 69th Division has garrisons in the other two county towns, there are still independent regiments of the Eighth Route Army and the new 2nd Regiment near these two county towns, they will definitely not sit idly by, even if the strength of these two regiments is not as good as the new regiment, but if you want to delay us for some time, you can still do it." Kusuyama Hideyoshi heard Shinozuka Yoshio's words and said directly.

"Then call back Muto-kun and tell him that this battle can only be on his own, and if the county town of Heian is really broken by the Eighth Route Army, then let him be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Yoshio Shinozuka said helplessly. Anyway, it will definitely be too late to send troops directly from Taiyuan. So I can only tell him clearly that he can only rely on himself.

"Hayi." Although helpless, Kusuyama Hideyoshi could only listen to Yoshio Shinozuka's words and send a threefold telegram to Muto.

As for whether or not he can defend the county seat of Ping'an, it can only depend on Muto's threefold creation.

…………

Soon the devils of Heyuan County and Anhua County received the order of Muto three times, and after receiving the telegram, they immediately gathered their troops, leaving only enough troops to defend the county seat, and then quickly marched in the direction of the county seat of Ping'an.

At this time, on the ambush position of the independent regiment, Kong Jie was lying on the dirt slope and was smoking his old cigarette pouch, since the beginning of the operation, the independent regiment has been ambushed here for two days, if the devil does not come, he may have to retreat, after all, the independent regiment did not get much food, it was really a little unbearable, if they wasted a few days, without the arrival of the little devil, they themselves could be starved to death.

However, Kong Jie did not doubt Li Yunlong's judgment, after all, he still knew Li Yunlong's battlefield acumen, which was definitely much higher than him and Ding Wei.

Since Li Yunlong said that the devils in the county town came back, the little devils would definitely come out.

Ding Wei is the same everywhere, he also led the soldiers of the New Second Regiment to lie on the ambush position for two days, and everyone was about to collapse, so that he could only lurk there in order to capture a little.

"Commander, commander, there is a situation, there is a situation." A soldier quickly ran up to Kong Jie and shouted at Kong Jie, who was smoking.

"What's the matter, Xiao Liu, slow down and don't worry." When Kong Jie heard the warrior's words, he knocked his cigarette gun and asked.

"Commander, the devils in the direction of the county town have moved, and now they are heading towards us." The warrior gasped and said to Kong Jie.

"It's really here." Kong Jie was also excited when he heard the report from his subordinates, after all, he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Here it is, and the imp

Zi seems to be in a hurry, and he doesn't investigate the situation on either side of the road, Commander, this is an opportunity for us." The warrior named Xiao Liu continued to speak to Kong Jie.

"Okay, guard, pass on my order, tell everyone, let everyone move, but don't move too much, just move your body a little, the devil will be there soon, wait for my orders to prepare for action." Kong Jie said with some excitement.

"Yes, Captain, I'll let you know now." Hearing Kong Jie's words, the warrior turned around and went to deliver the order.

"Damn, the little devil is finally here, making me wait so long." Kong Jie complained, then got up and moved his body, ready to wait and give the little devil a good look.

And the same thing happened with the positions of the new 2nd regiment.

"Captain, the devil is here." The soldier in charge of the reconnaissance in front ran to Ding Wei and reported.

"His grandmother's, this little devil is finally here, Lao Tzu has not waited in vain these days, the guards have notified everyone, let everyone get ready, hide their bodies so as not to be discovered by the little devils, and wait for the devil to arrive and listen to my orders." Hearing that the devil was coming, Ding Wei decisively gave an order.

And the devil troops who set out from Heyuan County and Anhua County also received an urgent telegram from Muto three times on the way, asking them to speed up their march towards Ping'an County.

Therefore, in order to be in a hurry, the two troops did not reconnoiter the environment on both sides of the road, after all, if they went to investigate while walking, they would definitely waste a lot of time, and if they went late because of this, Ping'an County was taken down by the Eighth Route Army, then they would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

And Ding Wei and Kong Jie both smiled happily when they saw the devil's movements, thinking that this ambush battle must be stable.

On the side of the independent regiment, Kong Jie watched the devil slowly walk into his ambush circle.

"Commander, there's only one brigade of troops from the devil's side." The commander of the first battalion next to him said to Kong Jie.

"How come there are more than 800 people in a brigade, why are you still not satisfied?" Kong Jie glanced at Battalion Commander Zhang and said, "Tell everyone, fight quickly, remember, this time you don't need to save ammunition, how to reduce losses."

Although the independent regiment now has a strength of nearly 3,000 people, most of them are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the little devils at all.

And the devil didn't know that there was an ambush on both sides, so he just cared about moving forward quickly and rushed to support Ping'an County.

And Kong Jie was lying on his stomach on the dirt slope, watching all the little devils enter his encirclement, decisively fired a shot into the sky, and then shouted loudly, "Beat me hard."

As Kong Jie's order was issued, the soldiers of the independent regiment opened fire one after another, especially light and heavy machine guns, and beckoned to the devil without life. Because Kong Jie had already ordered that there was no need to save bullets, everyone rushed down to fight the bayonet with the little devil without firing three shots.

Although the little devil was ambushed, the devil soldiers did not panic too much, and slowly spread out the formation according to the commander's order, and then fought back.

"Your Excellency, Captain, on the opposite side is the Eighth Route Army, which seems to have two regiments of troops." A devil staff officer ran over and said to the captain.

The devil's statement is not wrong, the Eighth Route Army they encountered before, the strength of a regiment is only more than 1,000 people, and the size of the independent regiment makes him think that it is two regiments.

"Nani, the strength of two regiments. How could there be so many?" Hearing the staff officer's words, the devil captain's heart tightened, if there was only one regiment of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, he was still confident that he would be able to take down the other party.

But the two regiments were on the defensive side, and he was not sure of this battle at all, not to mention going to support Ping'an County, even if he retreated, he probably couldn't do it.

Then he said, "Quick, order the troops to rush out quickly, or we will definitely be annihilated."

As the captain's order was given, the devil quickly began to organize his forces and began to rush forward, trying to break out of the encirclement.

Seeing this, the fighters of the Separate Regiment began to hit with light and heavy machine-gun fire, blocking the road ahead.

The devil rushed

Several times did not rush over, not only did not break out of the encirclement, but also lost a lot of troops.

"Battalion commander, you must push the little devil back, and you must not let the little devil break out of the encirclement." Kong Jie also discovered the little devil's intentions, so he said to the battalion commander.

"Commander, don't worry, with me, the little devil will definitely not be able to rush out." The commander of the first battalion played a package ticket to Kong Jie,

"Your Excellency Captain, no, the firepower on the opposite side is too strong, and we can't rush out at all." A devil soldier ran over and shouted at the captain.

But the captain had nothing to do at this time, so he could only let the soldiers rush forward one by one, after all, time was running out, and if they couldn't rush out, they would only be wiped out.

Just then, a cannonball landed next to the captain.

"Captain, be careful, cannonballs." But the soldier heard the whistling of the cannonballs and rushed over to crush the devil captain under him.

After the explosion, the team leader pushed the ghost soldier who was pressing down on his body away, but the soldier was already dead, and several pieces of shrapnel were stuck in his back.

At this moment, the captain didn't care about his sorrow, and shouted loudly: "Organize troops to rush forward for me immediately, otherwise everyone will be doomed."

When the devil next to him heard the captain's words, he immediately moved closer to him, ready to charge with him later.

Seeing this situation, Kong Jie, who was lying on the dirt slope, felt that the time was almost up, so he shouted to the trumpeter, "Blow the trumpet and prepare to charge."

[In view of the general environment,

Hearing Kong Jie's words, the trumpeter immediately took out the charge horn and began to blow.

When the fighters heard the trumpet, they immediately loaded their rifles with bayonets, and then got up and rushed towards the devil with a shout.

Seeing this, Kong Jie also took out his ghost head knife, jumped up, and rushed towards the devil with the soldiers.

"Quick, rush me, rush up and chop up the *** little devil." Kong Jie shouted as he ran, and the guards on the side were very nervous, following Kong Jie to observe the situation at all times, guarding Kong Jie's safety.

Soon the soldiers of the independent regiment collided with the little devils, but this time they fought and stabbed together, and they had an absolute advantage over the group, after all, after just a few rounds of shooting, the little devils were left with less than three hundred people, and the number of the independent regiment was about eight times that of the little devils. If he can't win, then Kong Jie can leave the class.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour and ended with the last devil being hacked to death by Kong Jie with a broadsword.

"Quick, let the soldiers clean up the battlefield, then arrange for evacuation, and send someone to tell Li Yunlong, just say that we have completely wiped out the little devil's support troops." Kong Jie propped up the ground with a big knife, and then said breathlessly.

Hearing Kong Jie's words, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and take everything they could take away, not even a single bullet casing was wasted.

On Ding Wei's side, the battle has just begun.

When Ding Wei saw the devil enter the encirclement, he decisively gave his artillery an artillery order. The devils were shelled and immediately fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency, we are under artillery fire, and the enemy is in front of us on the left." The devil quickly discovered the artillery position of the new second regiment, so he said to his captain.

"Rush over and kill it." The captain of the devil is very sober-minded, and knows that in such a small place, if the enemy is allowed to open fire, his side will be suppressed and unable to raise his head. In this way, the battle could not be fought, and the enemy's artillery could only be killed now, and then find a way to rush out, or withdraw, out of the enemy's encirclement.

Hearing the words of the captain, soon a squadron of devil soldiers began to rush towards the position where the artillery of the new second regiment was, ready to knock out the artillery position of the new second regiment.

Seeing this, Ding Wei immediately shouted loudly: "Call me, you must not let the little devil rush over."

Hearing Ding Wei's words, there were more than two people in the new second regiment, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns immediately opened fire and shot at the devils.

Pieces of bullets rained down, forming blockade lines, and some of the devils who tried to rush over were all shot to the ground.

Some were even cut in two by bullets.

Most of the devils of a squadron were wiped out in an instant.

"Captain, it seems that the enemy is coming prepared, and the firepower is too strong, and we can't rush through at all."

Hearing the soldier's words, the devil captain frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Then ignore the enemy's artillery for now, organize the manpower to find a way to rush out, and in addition, send a report to His Excellency the division commander, saying that we have been blocked by unknown armed forces, and now we are trying to find a way to break through."

When the other devils heard the words of the captain, they began to perform their duties, organize the troops, organize the troops, and send telegrams of telegrams.

"By the way, let the soldiers retreat in the direction of the county seat, where may be the weak point of the encirclement." The captain thought that the reason why the enemy surrounded him here was that he was unwilling to let himself support Ping'an County, and the rear must be the weak point of the enemy's encirclement, so he shouted to the soldiers around him.
