When Xu Hu heard this, he suddenly felt a toothache.
The little devil also met Ding Wei because of his ancestors' good deeds.
"We are all here, how can we come in vain? We have worked so hard to walk around here and sing this play with the Japanese. No matter what, we have to give me some hard work." Ding Wei said to himself.
With Ding Wei's temperament.
Since both sides have the opportunity to win, how can we let go of a good opportunity to make a fortune?
He only promised the brigade commander that he would definitely capture Ping'an County, but he did not say that he would not attack An Town.
Ding Wei had this idea from the beginning.
Anyway, the Japanese who should be surrounded have been surrounded, and the size of the basket is not too small, so it doesn't matter if there are a few more.
Even if the Japanese want to support, they have to think about which way to go first.
The surrounding roads have been damaged, and the Japanese will be unable to move unless they choose to walk.
If they choose to walk, even if they walk to Ping'an County, it will take a lot of time.
Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. It is estimated that by the time they reach Ping'an County, they will be exhausted and fall down. Let alone fighting, if they still have the strength to breathe, they will be considered powerful.
Not to mention, if the local Eighth Route Army troops nearby saw the Japanese troops, they would definitely take advantage of them and take a few bites.
It's not that easy for the kid to get to Ping'an County smoothly.
suddenly.
Ding Wei thought of Chu Yunfei.
This guy's new defense zone seems to be around here, and several roads have been damaged.
Do the math carefully.
It seems that the road near Chu Yunfei is pretty good.
If the Japanese want to come to support, they might choose to go from Chu Yunfei.
As for whether Chu Yunfei would let the Japanese come over?
Then only ghosts know.
The resistance of the Japanese in Ping'an County was getting weaker and weaker, and Ding Wei understood that it was time to harvest the vegetables.
Without any hesitation, he immediately led his troops towards Ping'an Town.
"Captain, wait for me!" Xu Hu saw this.
Qiu Chan's order to him before leaving immediately sounded, and he immediately followed Ding Wei.
The artillery, under the command of Wang Chengzhu, launched the final round of bombardment towards the tower.
Rows of cannonballs drew an arc in the air and hit the tower hard.
A series of fires bloomed one after another, and as screams came from the tower, the Japanese soldiers were thrown away.
The tower was immediately covered in flames.
Below the city wall.
Under the leadership of Ding Wei, the 1st and 2nd companies of the Independent Battalion rushed directly into the county town from the main gate.
The 3rd and 4th companies attacked from both sides, preparing to surround Ping'an County.
The gate was broken, and the independent battalion's attack could be said to be unstoppable. They rushed into the county seat in just a few minutes...
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.
Okamura Neji's face had turned the color of pig liver.
Yoshio Shinozuka also had a gloomy face.
Got fooled!
The majestic Imperial Army was actually being fooled around by a bunch of ruffians.
The Eighth Route Army has already invaded Ping'an County.
This was the last message sent by the Japanese garrison officer in Pingan County.
"Bagaya Road, where are the support troops? Why haven't they arrived in Ping'an County yet?" Neji Okamura suddenly raised his head and stared coldly at Yoshio Shinozuka.
Seeing the cannibalistic look in Okamura Neji's eyes, Shinozuka Yoshio trembled and hurriedly explained: "Reporting to your Excellency, Commander, the Imperial Army in the direction of Yangquan has left the city to provide support.
But because the road was destroyed, the imperial army could only choose to walk. Not long ago, they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army halfway, and they were currently fighting."
"Where is Luye?" Okamura Neiji asked: "Where is the imperial army on Luye's side?"
"Well..." Okamura Neji looked a little embarrassed: "They have not been blocked, but they are currently looking for a suitable road section to march."
"What is a suitable road section?" Okamura Neji asked.
"All roads were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and railways and highways have not been restored for the time being." Okamura Neiji said hurriedly.
"The troops on the road side can only march while searching for a suitable road section while walking."
See Okamura Neji looking like he wants to eat people.
Yoshio Shinozuka hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't worry, all ministries have already started to think of ways to repair it!"
"How long will it take, how long will it take for the reinforcements to reach Ping'an County?" Okamura Neji asked.
"It will take at least three hours." Yoshio Shinozuka replied.
"Baga, three hours, three hours and the day lilies are cold!" Neji Okamura said angrily: "Isn't there a shorter route?"
Yoshio Shinozuka thought carefully for a while and said, "I will tell you, General, that there is indeed one thing."
"Then why don't we march from that road quickly!" Okamura Neiji shouted: "Have these losers fought too many security battles, and they don't know how to fight on the big battlefield?
Tell those idiots in Yangquan to withdraw from the battle immediately. Their mission is to support the operation, not to waste time with the local Eighth Route Army.
Order them to join the imperial army on Luye as quickly as possible!"
"Your Excellency, Commander, there may be some trouble with the road." Yoshio Shinozuka said with a headache.
Okamura Neji frowned and said, "What's the problem?"
"That road is within the jurisdiction of Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment." Yoshio Shinozuka said.
"National Army?" Okamura Neji asked.
"Hai!" Yoshio Shinozuka responded: "This is the defense zone of the National Army. We just fought with them a few months ago. The National Army may not cooperate with us."
"Bagaya Road, this matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle." Okamura Neji breathed heavily.
After thinking for a while, he said coldly: "Negotiate with them and hope that they are willing to cooperate with the imperial army and take the initiative to make way for the imperial army. As long as they are willing to cooperate, the imperial army will definitely thank you."
After a pause, Okamura Neji said again: "Tell them that it was just a misunderstanding before. The imperial army's target this time is Tubal Road, and I will never make things difficult for you.
We don't have much to deal with the national army and Tubal Road. They are friendly forces in name only, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them.
They will definitely cooperate with us in fighting and will not embarrass us. Now that we are in a truce period with them, the National Army will not miss this opportunity that can consume the strength of the Eighth Route Army."
As long as we take the initiative to put forward conditions, those national troops will definitely cooperate. How can they choose to offend the imperial army if their vitality is severely damaged?
Brigade Headquarters.
"Yes, boss, just wait and see, we will do a good job!" The brigade commander hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
"Brigadier, what's a good thing?" the deputy brigade commander asked, seeing the brigade commander smiling so happily.
"The boss called us to praise us." The brigade commander walked quickly to the map.
The battle went very smoothly, and the various departments cooperated very smoothly. Ding Wei's tactic of beating the dog behind closed doors achieved very remarkable results.
Moreover, one of his surprise troops destroyed the Japs' road along the way, making it impossible for the Japs' reinforcements to arrive smoothly in a short period of time.
Flowers bloomed everywhere on the battlefield, and good news came every minute.
In other words, northwest Shanxi has not been so chaotic for a long time. There was no chaos at all in the previous movements of the national army, and in the end it was a complete rout.
But now, northwest Shanxi seems chaotic, but it is chaotic yet stable. Each unit has its own tasks, and the division of labor is very clear.
Those who block are those who block, those who drive away the Japanese are driven away, those who block the enemy are blocked, those who take the back path are those who take the back path...
The Japanese were also beaten until their scalp was numb and they were overwhelmed.
What is even more worthy of celebration is that Ding Wei successfully led his troops to penetrate Ping'an County and successfully captured it with lightning speed.
Completely annihilated the enemy forces in the city and destroyed the Japanese stronghold.
The good news that Shang'an Town was successfully captured also reached the brigade commander's ears.
This time, double happiness comes.
The brigade commander, who was initially worried and worried that Ding Wei would get away with it, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding Wei, this kid, has not embarrassed himself after all.
The brigade commander also prepared a plan in his mind, that is, how to make amends when something unexpected happens in the battle.
Even how to intercede for Ding Wei, the brigade commander had already made plans in his mind, but it seemed that he didn't need it now.
What we need to do now is to stay present, wait for Ding Wei to come back, and ask for credit for Ding Wei!
Although the benefits brought by the current battle have not been shown yet, the brigade commander can be sure that there will definitely be no less.
"Brigadier, Ding Wei has made great achievements again now. The deputy brigade commander said: "How are you going to reward him this time?"
"Reward?" The brigade commander snorted coldly and said, "I'm worried about him. This guy hasn't said he'll compensate me yet, so he wants a ridiculous reward.
This time he was lucky, but now it seems that this guy is really brave. If he puts the Japanese close to our base area, if there is a slight mistake, we will be finished."
"But now we have won." The deputy brigade commander smiled: "And the battle loss ratio is nearly 1:3. This is a record we have never had before."
Hearing this, the brigade commander's face became even happier.
Although Ding Wei has achieved shocking results, this time he fought as a whole, and its significance is self-evident.
Of course, this is also thanks to Ding Wei.
With the equipment and materials he provided, the battle could go so smoothly. Otherwise, they would be nothing but clever women who could only stare at the enemy.
"Brigadier, aren't you worried about something happening to Ding Wei?" asked the deputy brigade commander.
"Something happened?" asked the brigade commander, "Why are I worried about him? If anything happens, it's because he has no ability. There's no need for him to give me a heads up."
After saying that, the brigade commander continued to look at the map, observing whether there were any gaps in the defense line.
"By the way, Ding Wei also said that he hopes we can send more trucks to support them." The deputy brigade commander suddenly said.
"Support?" The brigade commander didn't react for a moment: "What's wrong? Did something happen to Ding Wei and the others?"
The brigade commander did not panic. As his close friend, Ding Wei was not willing to see anything happen to him.
"No, Ding Wei said, there are too many supplies in Ping'an County and Shang'an Town, and I'm worried that I won't be able to pull them all, so I hope we can add some transport vehicles to support us," the deputy brigade commander said with a smile.
"Damn it, can you finish your sentence at once next time and scare me?" the brigade commander laughed and cursed.
"Brigadier, didn't you just say you weren't worried about Ding Wei?" The deputy brigade commander looked at the brigade commander with a half-smile.
The brigade commander said: "Are I worried about him? I am worried about the little devil."
"Worried about the little devil?" the deputy brigade commander was a little surprised.
"Without Ding Wei to cause trouble for them, you think the little Japs will die of boredom?" the brigade commander laughed.
As he spoke, he said to the soldiers next to him: "Immediately send me an order for the transportation team to go to Ping'an County to support Ding Wei and the others."
The cavalry brigade has opened a way, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold are having a headache from the attacking troops outside, which will make it difficult to cope with the transport team.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about the transportation team being unable to arrive.
"Ding Wei, Ding Wei, I want to see what surprises you can give me this time!" the brigade commander looked at Ping'an County and whispered.
…
358th Regiment Headquarters.
"Tuanzuo, the troops attacking Ping'an County seem to be Ding Wei's troops." Fang Ligong said: "They have captured the county seat and are currently transporting supplies in the city."
After a pause, Fang Ligong added: "There is also Shang'an Town."
"Oh my god, they defeated two cities in a row?" Chu Yunfei said in surprise.
"That's right." Fang Ligong's eyes flashed with a hint of haze.
If the Eighth Route Army obtains supplies from the city, I don’t know what it will develop like.
"Ding Wei, Ding Wei." Chu Yunfei said repeatedly: "It is indeed him. I am the only one who has such courage to fight this battle."
"By the way, group members, there is one more thing." Fang Ligong hesitated.
He seemed to be considering whether he should say this or not.
"Say." Chu Yunfei said.
Fang Ligong said: "The Japs are approaching us. It seems they want to pass us to Ping'an County."
"Passed by us?" Chu Yunfei asked in surprise.
"That's right."
Fang Ligong nodded and said: "The Eighth Route Army destroyed many of their roads, and the Japanese have no choice. We are the closest to Ping'an County, so we can only pass through here."
"How many people are there?" Chu Yunfei asked.
Fang Ligong replied: "The Japanese troops in Luye and Yangquan each sent a brigade. The number of troops is no more than no less."
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei fell into deep thought, and even felt a trace of indescribable happiness in his heart.
Damn it.
Regiment 358 owes Ding Wei a lot of favors.
First, there was the incident of a traitor in the 358th Regiment. If Ding Wei had not provided timely support, he would probably have been blamed there.
Let’s talk about the ambush of the Japanese Army Observation Group. A large military officer’s sword was given to him at will. Because of this large military sword, he even received a medal.
This can be regarded as paving a brick for my future.
Let's talk about the most recent time, Ding Wei led his troops to beat the Japanese in the butt, directly helping the 358th Regiment relieve the great pressure.
It can be said that if it were not for Ding Wei, the 358th Regiment would not be able to survive until now.
The more Ding Wei behaves like this, the more guilty Chu Yunfei feels. If he had known this, he should have helped Ding Wei on Cangyun Ridge.
Why do you want to be a spectator?
Chu Yunfei wanted to return Ding Wei's favor many times.
Chu Yunfei had no intention of returning the equipment of that battalion, so he treated it as a return of favor, but he knew that this was far from enough.
Strictly speaking, two lives and one military merit, how can a battalion make up for this?
now.
The opportunity has come.
The Japanese troops obviously want to support Ping'an County, and now is a good opportunity to repay the favor.
Fang Ligong suddenly felt something bad and asked, "Tuanzuo, we can't be impulsive."
"Impulsive?" Chu Yunfei sneered: "Why are you impulsive? Are you still worried that I will send troops to support Ding Wei?"
Fang Ligong remained silent.
"Fang Ligong!" Chu Yunfei said in a shocked voice.
"Yes!" Fang Ligong stood up and nodded.
Chu Yunfei said: "Give me an order to let the Japs go down. If the Japs leave from us, no matter what the reason, they will not be allowed to pass!"
"Ah?" Fang Ligong said urgently: "Tuanzuo, you should think twice, this is offending the little devil.
This time the enemy’s target is not us, so why should we take the initiative to provoke them?”
Fang Ligong had already begun to regret telling Chu Yunfei about this matter. It would be better to let the Japanese go first and tell Chu Yunfei later.
"Who knows if they will use the banner of fighting the Eighth Route Army to attack us?" Chu Yunfei said coldly: "Do you dare to give me this guarantee?"
Fang Ligong suddenly felt weak.
"If you don't have any objections, then go ahead and give me the order. Once the Japanese dare to fight back, I will deal with them severely!" Chu Yunfei said in a shocked voice.
"No matter who is attacking the county town, I, Chu Yunfei, will definitely help."
