Chapter 1335 Chapter 1344, Asking for help and fighting for help

"Where are the long artillery grenades? Break open the city gate for me first!" Outside the south gate, Zhang Dabiao also adopted a combat method of heavy firepower to open the door. It seemed that he had a tacit understanding, and the other two city gates also adopted the same attack method. Hearing

Li Yunlong smiled with satisfaction at the sound of artillery fired one after another, and then, under the protection of the monk, headed towards the blocking position in the north. The rest was left to the four battalion commanders.

To be honest, with the current size of the independent regiment, using four battalions to attack a small Ping'an County feels like using cannon to swat mosquitoes. After all, even if the regiment's direct team and artillery company are transferred, and the 1st company is transferred,

There are still more than 5,000 troops left. This is using 25 times the troops to attack a squadron, and the weapons are still crushing.

"Nani?" The sudden sound of artillery suddenly woke up the Japanese who were still having breakfast at the city defense headquarters. Is there something going on? As the captain of Nakajima Shinichi's squadron who was temporarily in control of the city, he immediately left

The lunch box thumped up to the roof of the third floor, and started watching with a telescope.

"Baga...don't eat it, there are eight fronts attacking!" As the tallest building in the entire city, even if Nakajima is less than 1.5 meters tall, he can easily see that there are eight fronts attacking in the four directions of the city gates.

Moreover, looking outside the city gate, the eight-pronged posture spreads everywhere. It seems that each city gate must have a regiment of troops.

Seeing this scene, Nakajima's heart was filled with despair. If Nakajima was a good poet, he would have looked up to the sky and sighed: How can I be worthy of the Eighth Route Army using a division to attack me?

Well, the reality is that the situation is urgent. The puppet troops guarding the city gate overnight are simply vulnerable. The forward troops of the Eighth Route Army have already entered the city and even occupied the city gate street.

"Now, you guys, immediately station yourself in the headquarters fortifications and be sure to block the Eighth Route Army's attack!" Nakajima was decisive. Seeing the Eighth Route Army's strength, he immediately gave up his plan to fight with the Eighth Route Army in the county seat and directly reduced his troops.

Our city defense headquarters was defended. Speaking of this city defense headquarters, there is a three-story building with a steel-concrete structure. It is very strong and can be used as a gun tower.

Under his order, the Japs immediately moved into groups, building firepower points on the walls and roofs around the headquarters, and deployed six heavy machine gun positions inside and outside the headquarters gate.

In just ten minutes, the independent regiment had surrounded the headquarters. Moreover, because there were too many troops participating in the battle, the four battalion commanders could only send one company each to surround the headquarters.

Live in the five-acre courtyard of this battlefield and distribute the attack plan.

It was during this period that Captain Nakajima finally informed the brigade headquarters of the situation using the only radio station that could contact the outside world.

"Nani?" Yangquan, Lieutenant General Yoshio Hongo, who had just received the order from Gangcun and was strengthening the railway garrison, was a little stunned when he received the telegram asking for help. Yoshio Hongo is a lieutenant general, and this person is with

The independent mixed brigade has always had a major general and a lieutenant general as brigade leaders, which does not violate the tradition. The key is that he came here to form the 62nd Division, and it has only been 7 days since he took over the team.

Yoshio Hongo should now be the division commander of the 62nd Division. The original independent mixed fourth brigade will soon become the 63rd Brigade under the 62nd Division. The former brigade commander Nakajima Tokutaro will serve as the brigade commander.

.So, when the current Fourth Brigade is in chaos, Yoshio Hongo doesn’t know Captain Nakajima at all.

Therefore, Hongo Yoshio called the commander of the Nakajima Brigade to the office and informed the news that the Nakajima Squadron and Ping'an County were surrounded.

"Nani? This is bad!" Unlike Hongo Yoshio's calmness, Nakajima Tokutaro was anxious at that time. That Nakajima in Ping An County came from his family, and he was the family's hope in the future.

Moreover, the leader of the Nakajima Brigade also knew the importance of Ping'an County, so after considering it for three seconds, he said to Hongo: "Your Excellency, division commander, we must ensure the safety of Ping'an County! You see, Ping'an County's

The location is here, and then..." Nakajima did not mention the family relationship, but focused on the strategic location of Ping'an County.

"In other words, if Ping'an County is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, then the four brigades of the 36th Division, as well as the three counties of Xiyang, Heshun, and Liao County, will be divided outside the security area..." Yoshio Hongo

He was not stupid. He immediately understood the current situation and was no longer calm.

"Then, you immediately mobilize all available troops around Ping'an County! You must ensure the safety of Ping'an County! In addition, I will ask the front army for instructions to mobilize the 36th Division!" Yoshio Hongo is also very worried now, because

He is nominally the division commander, but the troops he can mobilize are embarrassingly only one and a half brigades, half of which are artillery corps.

As for his other 64th Brigade under the 62nd Division, it is still in the process of being assembled and needs to be mobilized from the independent 6th Brigade. The 6th Independent Brigade is still in Zhangdian...

With the approval of the division commander, Tokutaro Nakajima immediately sent a telegram to mobilize all the troops around Ping'an County to quickly reinforce Ping'an County. Of course, the most important reinforcements were the 15th Brigade headquarters and the half of the artillery in Yangquan.

However, he can't mobilize all the troops. If someone from the Eighth Route Army comes to mobilize the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't it be all over if Yangquan is taken care of later?

While he was giving orders here, Yoshio Hongo also sent a telegram to Gangcun to report the situation here.

"Sodersne..." Gangcun is a wise man. When he heard the name of Ping An County, he immediately understood what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army was. So Gangcun rolled his eyes and realized his plan: "Immediately give the 36th Division

Send a telegram and order the four brigades in Liao County to immediately rush to Ping'an County for reinforcements! Order the remaining six brigades to immediately move along the Zhuozhang River and approach Dongpanlong Town in Wuxiang, forcing the Eighth Route Army to mobilize troops..."

"Order to form three independent brigades of the 4th Brigade and immediately move eastward from Lin County to take over the current position of the 37th Division; the returning 37th Division will go north to the Lu'an area to strengthen the Lu'an area!"

Well, people change orders day and night. When we got to Gangcun, it became an order at 2 o'clock in the morning, and it was changed at around 7 o'clock in the morning.

On the Japanese side, half an hour passed from receiving Nakajima's request for help, to the end of the discussion, and then to Gangcun's order. But during this time, the situation in Ping'an County seemed to have changed.

That's right, just one squadron couldn't stop the attack of four companies of the Eighth Route Army. A city defense headquarters was captured by the Eighth Route Army in just half an hour.

And the next step is to call for reinforcements.
