Chapter 112 The confidence given by Liu Xiu

Just when Liu Xiu was thinking about whether he should give up on wiping out the Oyamamoto Special Forces, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

But what Liu Xiu didn't expect was that Li Yunlong said on the spot when he heard that Yamamoto Kazuki had fled to Ping'an County:

"Damn, you messed up my bridal chamber, you actually want to leave like this, how can such a good thing happen? Send me an order to gather all the independent regiment teams tomorrow morning to attack Ping'an County. I want to catch the turtle in the jar!"

Liu Xiu was very surprised when he heard Li Yunlong's words and looked at Li Yunlong to know that this was not the original plot!

Yang Xiuqin has not been captured by Yamamoto Kazuki now! Why is Li Yunlong still thinking about attacking Ping'an County?

In fact, what Liu Xiu didn't know was that the reason why Li Yunlong decided to attack Ping'an County so quickly was mainly due to Liu Xiu's confidence. You must know that the equipment of a regiment that Liu Xiu seized last time was no joke, especially the ten Two Type 92 infantry guns! And not only that, you must know that Liu Xiu also has three Type 97 tanks!

And now Liu Xiu's second battalion alone has 5,000 soldiers whose equipment is not weaker than that of the Japs.

If it weren't for the fact that night was not suitable for large-scale operations, maybe Li Yunlong would have directly planned to attack Ping'an County overnight.

On Yamamoto Kazuki's side, after crossing mountains and ridges, he finally entered Ping'an County before Bao Chao of the cavalry battalion. After entering Ping'an County, Yamamoto Kazuki immediately checked the specific situation of Ping'an County.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Yamamoto Kazuki was immediately shocked when he saw it. It turned out that all the fortresses they built around Ping'an County were destroyed.

The current defense model of Ping'an County is to rely on the city walls of Ping'an County. The number of troops in the county is not as large as one brigade but only three squadrons with more than 800 people.

The reason why Ping'an County is like this is naturally thanks to Liu Xiu. In order to train his special forces, Liu Xiu often led his special forces to sneak attack on the Japs' bunkers.

So after more than a year of fighting, the little Japanese bunker within Ping'an County was destroyed by Liu Xiu.

It was precisely because there was no blockhouse anymore that Liu Xiu turned his attention to the railway transportation lines further away.

After traveling all night, the independent group finally gathered together at five o'clock in the morning after being scattered for more than a year.

However, Li Yunlong was shocked when he got the strength list of the Independent Regiment, because the strength of the Independent Regiment now reached 15,000.

Among them, the first battalion, that is, the battalion managed by Zhang Dabiao, had the largest number of people, reaching 7,000 people, followed by Liu Xiu's second battalion with 5,000 people, and finally the third battalion with 3,000 people.

Of course, the main reason why there are so many people in the third battalion is because when Chu Yunfei's first battalion rebelled, all the equipment of the two thousand people was given to the third battalion. Otherwise, it is difficult to say whether the third battalion can reach a thousand people now!

However, Liu Xiu still found it difficult to believe that Zhang Dabiao's battalion could have more than 7,000 people, so he asked Zhang Dabiao in a low voice:

"I said, didn't you tell me last time that your battalion only had 5,000 people? How come it's only been less than a month now! How come it has become more than 7,000 people? You don't know what to do? Let’s take the district team and the like into account!”

However, when Zhang Dabiao heard Liu Xiu's words, he chuckled and said:

"How can I compare with Lieutenant Colonel Liu! You, Lieutenant Liu, only fight the little devils, the second devils are too lazy to look at, but my first battalion is different, that's because they are blind, let alone the second devils. , I will fight even bandits! Last month, I just turned against a reinforced regiment of Japanese soldiers. I couldn’t help but be lucky. The deputy commander was from my former Broadsword team! "

Liu Xiu was speechless when he heard Zhang Dabiao's words. He didn't expect that people could do this. Of course, although Zhang Dabiao's first battalion had more people than Liu Xiu's second battalion, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion could not compare with Liu Xiu's second battalion in terms of firepower. .

After all, twelve Type 92 infantry guns and three Type 97 tanks are no joke. When Li Yunlong looked at the troop report in his hand, he didn't get red-eyed like in the plot and planned to directly devote all his troops to attack the city. Instead, it seemed that Zhang Dabiao and Liu Xiu were already the third battalion commander and said:

"Does anyone want to say something about who will be the main attacker this time?"

Liu Xiu didn't say anything to Li Yunlong's words, but Zhang Dabiao couldn't wait to say:

"Captain, let's let the first battalion take the main attack this time! My first battalion has the largest number of people, so I'm the most suitable to take the lead!"

However, Li Yunlong did not intend to let Zhang Dabiao take the main attack. Instead, after Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xiu and said:

"Liu Lieutenant, your second battalion has the strongest firepower. It has twelve Type 92 infantry cannons and three tanks. I will leave the main attack task to you. Are there any problems?"

"No problem, but our second battalion needs to concentrate its firepower, so we may not be able to take care of the other three walls!"

Li Yunlong said this about Liu Xiu:

"Don't worry, your second battalion will be the main attack this time. Zhang Dabiao's first battalion has the largest number and is responsible for the encirclement. The remaining three battalions will block all the main roads in Ping'an County for me! Prevent enemy support! Okay. That’s it! Launch the attack on time at six in the morning!”

Zhang Dabiao had no objections to Li Yunlong's arrangement. After all, when he heard that Liu Xiu's second battalion actually had twelve Type 92 infantry guns and three tanks, he knew that this main attack was already out of the question. .

Although his first battalion is not bad, and the eight Type 92 infantry cannons are considered wealthy, they still cannot compare with Liu Xiu's second battalion.

However, Liu Xiu, who felt that his firepower was insufficient, still asked for eight Type 92 infantry cannons from Zhang Dabiao's first battalion.

Of course, this was not free of charge. Liu Xiu paid for it in exchange for the rent of ten rounds of shells for each Type 92 infantry gun.

Liu Xiu looked at the twenty Type 92 infantry cannons neatly arranged, and felt a little safer. After all, this was Liu Xiu's first time commanding an attack of five thousand people!

Looking at the Second Battalion with five thousand soldiers standing together, Liu Xiu also knew that a wrong decision on his part at this moment could very well result in hundreds or even thousands of casualties.

But haven’t you seen pork or pig running? Anyway, now that the firepower is sufficient and the artillery shells are abundant, Liu Xiu will naturally not be stingy.

At six o'clock, twenty Type 92 infantry cannons were pushed 500 meters past the city wall of Ping'an County and began a fierce bombardment.

The thick wooden gate of Ping'an County was destroyed by just three shells.

However, Liu Xiu did not relax, but the artillery fire spread towards the city wall.

Although the Type 92 infantry gun has a small caliber of only 70 mm, Ping'an County is not one of those main cities!

The ten-meter-high city wall is only two or three meters wide, and it is made of bricks rather than reinforced concrete.

Therefore, when Liu Xiu finished firing two hundred rounds of artillery shells, a large part of the city wall of Ping'an County had collapsed.
