Ping'an County Front.

Ding Wei was full of ambition.

The Second Battle of Phangrad is about to begin. He's in high spirits!

It's a pity that the time for the general attack has not yet arrived.

The headquarters has not yet issued a general offensive order.

Regretful......

Behind him, a total of fifty field guns were fired.

Although all are 75 mm. But it was enough to attack the county seat of Ping'an.

You can blow up the walls of Ping'an County at will.

What's more, further behind, there were five 105-mm howitzers.

All of them were brought in reinforcements from the new regiment.

The 108th and 109th divisions of the Japanese invaders did not go north for a long time, and Li Yunlong had nothing to do. I didn't dare to leave. So he ordered the artillery to pull five 105mm howitzers to Ping'an County to have a good time. It can be regarded as a new regiment that indirectly participated in the battle.

"Report!"

"The new third regiment has entered the predetermined position!"

"Report!"

"Teach the fourth regiment to enter the predetermined position!"

"Report!"

"Teach the Fifth Regiment to enter the predetermined position!"

Report ......

Information is constantly being aggregated.

Progress in all forces is quite smooth.

After several days of fierce fighting, the Eighth Route Army has succeeded in defeating the remaining Japanese invaders. Compress to the area around Ping'an County.

It is less than ten kilometers from north to south. It is less than eight kilometers from east to west.

This is the area occupied by more than 10,000 devils. Although the area looks huge. But the connection with the outside world has been completely severed.

You can launch a general attack at any time.

The Japanese commander Yuo Hiraku once wanted to break through. But it was not allowed.

If they break through, then the 29th Division will be in danger.

In Ping'an County, the Eighth Route Army also concentrated 20,000 or 30,000 people! If all thrown into the operation against the 29 division. How can the 29th Division still be supported?

I had no choice but to wait for help.

To be precise, to the last man.

Yoshio Shinozuka's order to Yuo Hiraku is to fight to the last man. Serve His Majesty the Emperor.

In other words, Yoshio Shinozuka has no reinforcements.

The reinforcements were all under the command of Tada. Save or not. How to save. It's all Tada's business.

"The devil hasn't moved yet?"

"Nope."

"It's so rare! Devils play sit-down wars with us? ”

"Who knows?"

"If you continue to consume it like this, the devil will only have to eat grass."

"yes!"

The chief of staff also couldn't figure it out.

Why did the 108th and 109th divisions of the Japanese invaders delay in moving.

But it's okay if you don't understand. There is nothing wrong with listening to orders from headquarters.

"Is there still shelling today?"

"As usual!"

"Yes!"

The chief of staff went out to give orders.

A moment later, all field guns and howitzers opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Dense fires erupted around Ping'an County.

There are no ordinary people in Ping'an County. Before the arrival of the Japanese invaders, all of them had been evacuated.

Therefore, every shell falls, and if it hits someone, it is a Japanese coward.

Oh, and part of the puppet army. There are about a few thousand people.

It's just that these puppet armies have no sense of existence. The Japanese looked down on them. The Eighth Route Army also when they did not exist.

The only value of the puppet army in Ping'an County is to be cannon fodder.

The shells fell, and only the ones that were bombed.

The Japanese also had a heavy artillery wing. But no longer dared to fire easily.

Why?

There are not enough shells.

The logistics of the Japanese were cut off.

Li Yunlong led the new regiment to occupy Fanzhuang Station and completely blocked the transportation lines of the Japanese invaders.

Insufficient shells......

Food insecurity......

The Japanese are now completely trapped and fighting.

If they don't want to die. Only breakouts. The problem is, their superiors don't allow it.

"Yaga ......"

"Damn dirt eight road ......"

"How can there be so many shells......"

Yuo Hiraku was depressed in his heart.

This is the general attack of the Dirt Eight Road?

Of course not!

Just the usual shelling!

Shelling every day from time to time! Specialized in harassing the Japanese.

It is to let the Japanese army not have the slightest time to rest. It was to torture the Japanese army. Let the Japanese army collapse.

This is a conspiracy.

The Japanese army had no way to deal with it.

Counterattack, there are not enough shells.

If you don't fight back, you can only be bombed in vain. It is not possible to transfer yet.

Already surrounded, how else can it be transferred?

It's such a large area, and it's shrinking every day.

Tubalu captures a stronghold today and a pillbox tomorrow, and it seems that there is no hurry at all.

The Japanese army lost a hundred or several dozen people every day.

In many cases, even hundreds of people are lost.

As time went on, the situation of the Japanese army was getting worse and worse. Supplies of all kinds began to be severely scarce.

There are plenty of bullets. But there weren't enough shells.

Food is also not sufficient......

Each person is only equipped with two taels of food per day......

Between the retreats, Tuba Road cleared all the walls around Ping'an County, and not even a single grain was left.

"Must break through!"

"We can't all die here!"

"Pinglujun ......"

Ono Shinsho shouted anxiously.

He is on the same level as Lu Yongfu. Everyone is a brigade commander. There is no scruple in speaking.

What's more, the situation is unusually dangerous now. If you delay for a minute, you will die.

Death, he didn't want to.

That's the business of the worthless soldiers below.

He became a brigade commander and a major general, how could he be willing to die?

"Can't break through."

"Without artillery cover, it is easier to be surrounded and annihilated in the field."

However, Shinzo Nodo was against it.

His reasoning is simple. Breaking through could not carry heavy artillery.

If there is no heavy artillery cover, everyone will become fat in the mouth of the earth eight roads. The last one couldn't get out.

Shinzo Noto was the commander of the field artillery wing, and the heavy cannon he commanded was the biggest support of the Japanese army. If it weren't for this, Tubalu would have wiped them all out a long time ago.

Therefore, his opinion must be carefully considered by all.

"Noto-kun is right."

"Sticking to it is the best outcome."

Yuo Hiraku was helpless.

From Ping'an County to Fanzhuang Station, there are 100 kilometers.

Around Ping'an County, there are tens of thousands of people on Tuba Road. In the vicinity of Van Trang station, there are also several thousand people.

If they abandon heavy weapons and break through lightly. The end result is to become a rabbit in front of the hunter. The hunter will use his gun to hunt all the rabbits.

Sticking to it, of course, is very hard.

However, it is also the only hope. It depends on how long it can last.

Food is the biggest problem......

Suddenly, Yuo Hiraku felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

But he himself did not have enough food. and hungry. It can only be barely supported.

Fortunately, it can be held up for the time being. I don't know how long it will last.

Report ......

Suddenly, a staff officer cautiously arrived.

He seemed to be trying to say something. But he was immediately dragged away by two other staff officers. And cover your mouth.

"Yaga!"

"Stay!"

Ono was furious.

What are these three guys doing?

Impatient to live?

How dare you do such a thing in front of them?

"What's the matter?"

Yuo Hiraku asked kindly.

As a result, the three staff officers all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Yaga!"

"Say!"

Nobuyori Ono reached out and prepared to draw his sword.

He was in a grumpy mood. I don't mind killing a few people to vent my anger.

"Report!"

"There was a cannibalistic ...... in the Yano Brigade"

"Nani?"

Everyone was stunned.

What?

What did the other party say?

The other two staff officers realized that the situation was not right and hurriedly dragged the man away.

Be quiet.

Uncanny.

Nobu Ono no longer has the ability to draw a sword.

Something, if reflected to them. The following situation is already very serious.

Reminiscent of the recent severe food shortage......

"Ahh

Nobumori Ono almost vomited.

It feels like it's dark. Hurriedly reached out and held the table next to him.

"Yaga!"

"They are all imperial warriors, how can they ......"

Chief of Staff Yoshio Tsuneoka muttered.

But the voice gradually became quieter.

What about Imperial Warriors? Who isn't an Imperial Warrior anymore?

When hunger comes, who cares if you are a warrior of the Empire?

"Command now!"

"It is strictly forbidden to repeat such phenomena!"

Yuo Hiraku said slowly.

I felt black in front of my eyes again, and I almost fainted. but hungry.

"Yes!"

Yoshio Tsuneoka bent down in agreement.

muttered in his heart. Is this something that the command can prevent?

Can the order be used as a rice ball?

If there is no rice ball, who knows......

Don't dare to think about it.

Pass on the command as usual.

As for whether it has an effect. He didn't know. It is estimated that Yuo Hiraku doesn't care either.

They're going to think about it now. It's a breakout.

If you don't break through......

I'll eat it all myself.

Silent.

Long.

Suddenly, a staff officer stumbled in.

"Yaga!"

Nobumori Ono was furious again.

Subconsciously, you have to draw the knife.

These damn staff officers! Are they all crazy?

Or do you want to break the jade yourself, and you don't care about the discipline of the army at all?

Yaga!

Fortunately, he was stopped by Yuo Hiraku.

Homicide?

What's the use?

Kill and eat?

If that's the case, maybe it works......

"Report!"

"Breakout, breakout ......"

"The commander ordered us to break out!"

"Breakout!"

The staff officer didn't know that he had gone round and round on the line of death.

He was so excited. So, everybody is shouting out. It doesn't look like I've been hungry for more than ten days at all. The sound shook everyone's ears.

"Breakout?"

Yoshio Tsuneoka hurriedly took the telegram.

Read it in ten lines at a glance. His face was pleased.

The telegram was sent by the North China Front Command. Ordered them to break through at once.

But......

Breakout direction......

Northward!

Rendezvous with the 29th Division!

This......

Only to get out of the wolf's lair and enter the tiger's den? That's not all......

"What's going on?"

"The North China Front ordered us to break through. Go and join the 29th Division. ”

Yoshio Tsuneoka's tone was bitter.

I thought it was good news. Unexpectedly, it was such an order.

Yuo Hiraku: ......

Nobumori Ono: ......

What's the situation?

To join the 29th Division? Who came up with the idea?

The 29 Division itself was surrounded. Does it make sense to order them to go and join the 29th Division?

Let's not talk about whether we can converge. Even if it can converge, it is not surrounded with the 29th Division?

Could it be that the above felt that one 29th division was not enough, and they had to send three more independent mixed brigades to Tubalu?

Baga ......

That brain into the water......

However......

"The order must be executed!"

"Otherwise, everyone will apologize!"

Yoshio Tsuneoka's face turned pale.

This is the last content of the telegram. The wording is very harsh.

Obviously, there is no room for manoeuvre in things.

Must break through.

It was necessary to join the 29th Division.

So......

"Execute the order!"

"Breakout!"

"Go and join the 29th Division!"

"I hope ......"
