Chapter 483
The city wall in Ping'an County was built during the Ming Dynasty. The well-preserved city wall is four or five feet high, with a wide horse path on it. The city bricks are made of glutinous rice juice mixed with mortar. The tactical characteristics of the era.

There is a moat around the city outside the city wall, but due to the age, the moat has dried up and silted up.

There is an infantry squadron of the Japanese army stationed in the county seat, a Japanese gendarmerie team, and a brigade of the puppet army, with a strength of more than 1000 people.

The combat effectiveness of the puppet army is very weak. The predecessor of this brigade was the security force of the former Kuomintang army, and it was also a third-rate unit in the battle order of the Kuomintang army.

After Yamamoto Kazuki led the surviving secret service team members to withdraw into the county, he found that there were only more than 20 team members left, and more than half of them were injured.The establishment of this elite special force has been crippled, and it seems that it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

But General Yamamoto couldn't care less about being depressed at this time, he knew that he couldn't stay here for long, and the shrewd Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong wouldn't let him go easily.

He has sent a telegram for help to the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, asking Commander Youzuka Yoshio to send troops to respond, and during this period, his special service team can also take the opportunity to take a rest.

This time he miscalculated the situation again.

The time for Kazuki Yamamoto and his agents to live in this world has entered the countdown.

This year, with the frequent success of the US military in the Pacific War, the rapid advance of the Soviet army on the European Eastern Front, and the victory of the British army in Alamein in North Africa.

The successive defeats of the Axis powers have already shown signs of defeat. Anyone with a little military insight has already seen that the military alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan is doomed.

On the declining battlefield in China, after several years of military confrontation, more than 100 million Japanese troops were pinned down in the Japanese-occupied area, unable to launch a new offensive.

The strategic idea of ​​exchanging space for time proposed by the Chinese Nationalist Government at the beginning of the war has shown results to a certain extent. After five or six years of war, the Japanese army has not even opened up the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, the main railway artery running through the north and south of China. The southward strategy of the Japanese army to enter Southeast Asia was greatly affected.

The Japanese troops stationed in China have shown a clear decline.

In the overall strategic pattern of the East, the second theater of the Chinese battlefield is just a small pawn, while the northwestern Shanxi region is an even smaller pawn on the military situation map of the second theater.

Li Yunlong's independent regiment has no official establishment on the military establishment table of the National Government's Military Commission, and it doesn't even have a serial number.

Theoretically speaking, it is an armed force outside the battle order of the Kuomintang army.

Even in the No.18 Army's battle order list, the Li Yunlong Regiment, like many independent regiments or new regiments, belonged to local troops without official numbers.

Even the generals at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army did not know much about this small independent regiment, because the total strength of the Eighth Route Army had grown from more than 1943 in 1937 to more than 8 in 40, far exceeding the establishment of a group army.

Therefore, whether it is the Chief of the Second Theater of the Kuomintang Army or the No. 18 Army Command, Li Yunlong's independent regiment is not even a small pawn.

Who would have thought that this Li Yunlong could make such a big commotion.

Li Yunlong allocated one-third of his troops to lead the local armed forces to fight and blockade all the roads within [-] kilometers around the county seat, and buried thousands of earth mines alone.

At the battle meeting, Li Yunlong acted extremely authoritarian. He didn't like the word military democracy very much. He had an idea here and there, but who did he listen to?
Lao Tzu is the head of the regiment, so you have to listen to Lao Tzu.

He simply canceled the discussion and directly assigned the task: "The first battalion selected a dozen or so soldiers with better skills to disguise themselves as puppet troops, first sneak attack on the north gate, and if the sneak attack failed, they changed to a strong attack, blasted the city wall with explosives, and divided all the attacking troops into east and west. The four points in the north and the south are to be attacked at the same time. Whoever enters first will be credited with great merit. Remember, the troops that attack first should not rush in deep, and first penetrate along the city wall in a detour, kill the enemy's defensive forces on the city wall, and open the city gate. Then strike in depth from four directions, compress the enemy in the center, and finally clean up."

The deputy head of the regiment, Xing Zhiguo, put forward a different opinion: "Regimental commander, you must always choose a main attack direction, concentrate the main force in the main attack direction, and send small troops to feign attacks at the other three points, so that it is difficult for the enemy to judge the main attack direction..."

Li Yunlong interrupted Xing Zhiguo's words rudely: "Your tactics are too rigid. This time, the ratio of our troops to the enemy's forces is 5:1. The enemy's peripheral forces are very weak on the city wall. Let's use all our forces to attack from all sides. They are all the main attack directions. The enemy has no choice but to let us lead by the nose and turn each point into a key defense. But the enemy has fewer troops and we have more troops, so we must take advantage. You are responsible for allocating troops. This matter is settled like this. The meeting is over. "

The battle became fierce from the very beginning, and the sneak attack of the small army almost succeeded but fell short.

The battle started at the north gate first, and in an instant, gunshots like popping beans came from the other three directions.The light and heavy machine guns on the city and the city and below the city fired at each other, and several levels of blasting teams braved the rain of bullets, causing heavy casualties from the very beginning.

Li Yunlong, who was in charge of the attack on the north gate, felt itchy, pushed the machine gunner away, and fired at the city wall with a Type [-] heavy machine gun.

The machine guns fired fiercely and fiercely, crushing the defenders of the city wall until they couldn't lift their heads.

The blasters kept getting shot and fell, and the new blasters rushed up desperately. This was a head-to-head battle, and both sides played their lives.

A demolitionist struggled to climb close to the base of the city wall, holding his legs broken by a heavy machine gun. The defenders panicked, and a string of grenades fell. The wounded demolitionist pulled the fuse before the grenade exploded...

There was a huge explosion, and a huge V-shaped gap appeared in the city wall. The attacking troops rushed up like a tide, and fell down one by one... At this time, with Ping'an County as the center, there was a pot of porridge within a few hundred miles. .

At this time, Li Tian received information that a regiment of the Japanese army in Taiyuan had come to reinforce Ping'an County.

Knowing that Li Yunlong had reached Ping'an County, the defenders couldn't take it anymore, so he gave an order.

"Tell the commander of the third battalion to lead them to our pre-ambush location, and be sure to eat the entire wing."

Then he looked at the troops behind him and said loudly.

"Everyone, speed up and win Ping'an County, and I will give you credit."

Li Tian doesn't care about credit or anything, all he wants is to see if he can complete the task, and at the same time, do another wave of robberies to see if he can snatch some good things.

In case the task is not completed, relying on the reward from the robbery, he can continue to complete the task.
