The little devil in the Huting stronghold was frightened by the shelling, and the supreme commander of the stronghold was a young Zuo of the little devil, and he was extremely fortunate at the moment and did not take the initiative to attack.

However, such a terrible shelling also made him realize that the Tiger Pavilion stronghold was really dangerous.

At first, Shaozo did not pay much attention to the main forces of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side, but due to the order of wing commander Jiro Hirata, he did not take the initiative to attack and asked the wing leader for help.

And now, he thoroughly understood why the co-captain would give such an order.

Without hesitation, Shaozo picked up the phone again and asked Ping’an County for help again, this time his tone was full of anxiety.

“Report to the wing leader, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is very strong, and a large number of fortifications in the stronghold have been destroyed, and I also ask the wing leader to support the Tiger Pavilion stronghold as soon as possible.”

“Even if it is all jade crushing, you must hold the stronghold, and I will strictly order the support troops to advance at full speed.”

At this moment, the reinforcements in Ping’an County had quickly marched towards the Huting stronghold.

After receiving the telegram from Jiro Hirata again, he could only continue to speed up the march.

And the waiting Hirata Jiro not long received a telegram from the rescue force, and on the way to support, they were surrounded by the main forces of the Eighth Route Army and were also asking for support.

At this moment, Hirata Jiro thought of the dangerous Tiger Pavilion stronghold, and could only order the strongholds outside the city to send troops to support the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

At the same time, an infantry brigade was again sent out of the city to support.

But the next few hours were nothing short of torment for Jiro Hirata.

All the troops supporting the Huting stronghold encountered the so-called main force of the Eighth Route Army, and at this moment, as if the entire Ping’an County was surrounded, there were enemies everywhere.

This forced Hirata Jiro to ask for support from several nearby county towns, because there was only one brigade left in his hands to guard the county seat, and this brigade could not be used by him in any way, otherwise if the Eighth Route Army attacked the county seat, he would have no troops to defend.

It’s just that the troops of other counties want to come, and it will take at least a few hours to go underground in such ice and snow.

The only thing Hirata Jiro can do now is to hope that the troops outside the city will hold out until new reinforcements arrive.

However, just as the telegram for help was sent to the nearby county seat, the first time it went out of the city to support the Huting stronghold, the first infantry brigade sent a farewell message.

The infantry brigade, which was surrounded on the march, and a pseudo-legion, held out for less than three hours and was completely annihilated.

The second group of 3rd Infantry Battalion, which supported it, also paid more than half of its casualties and failed to save the encircled First Infantry Battalion.

Angry with Hirata, Jiro Hirata could only order the recovery of the 3rd Infantry Battalion, because if the battle continued, I was afraid that the 3rd Infantry Group would also be in danger of being completely annihilated.

The First Infantry Brigade was completely annihilated, as if opening a Pandora’s box.

Over the next hour, all kinds of bad news arrived.

As if it was the Tiger Pavilion stronghold that had lost any effect, a farewell message was also sent.

Immediately afterwards, several strongholds and a large number of artillery towers outside the city were also destroyed and captured by the Eighth Route Army.

The battle, which lasted less than five hours, came to an end.

What made Hirata Jiro tremble was that in these five hours, his garrison wing paid more than half of the casualties, and two of the three pseudo-legions in his hands were defeated.

The only remaining pseudo-legion still remained in the county and did not go out.

It was five hours later that Hirata Jiro reluctantly found himself completely out of control of the city.

At this moment, not only could he not recapture the lost strongholds and artillery towers, but he even had to worry about whether the Eighth Route Army would take the opportunity to attack the city.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from other counties continued to approach the Heian county seat, otherwise Hirata Jiro would really have to worry about the safety of the county seat.

And this is also the reason why Ye Ming does not plan to touch the little devil county at this stage.

The wall of the county town is not the wall of the stronghold, and the little devils who rely on the city wall to carry out defense are not easy to deal with.

Coupled with the support of other county towns, if you want to fight the county seat, it is a loss-making transaction for the new regiment at this stage, because even if it can be defeated, the new regiment will have a lot of losses.

Ye Ming, who laid down the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, did not give up directly, but began to station in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

After all, the Tiger Pavilion stronghold is really not small, plus the appearance of a small fortress, all kinds of barracks are also complete, not to mention that tens of thousands of troops can be stationed.

It was originally a front line of the little devil’s attack on the base area, and although part of the wall was destroyed during the attack, it could still become a very good stationing point after repairing it.

The only bad thing is that it is relatively close to the little devil, and the distance from the rapid march of Ping’an County is only an hour.

At this stage, the new regiment is not able to clash with the little devils, but before the little devils in Ping’an County are unable to take the initiative to attack, this stronghold is still very useful.

Because the little devil who came out of the county town wanted to enter the base area, he must pass through the Tiger Pavilion stronghold.

Controlled the Huting stronghold, that is, controlled the gate of Ping’an County to the base area.

And this winter, if the little devil wants to mobilize troops on a large scale to encircle and suppress a new regiment, it is not so simple.

What’s more, the intelligence department of the Eighth Route Army is not blind.

By the time the little devil had the wind and grass, the new group could already run outside Cloud Nine.

In this battle, the new regiment made a lot of money, and its weapons and ammunition just enabled the militia and guerrillas in the townships and villages to strengthen their combat effectiveness.

In fact, in the past two months, the weapons and equipment belonging to the militia units and county brigades of the new regiment have been comprehensively replenished, and they are no longer armed with earthen guns and cannons.

Sometimes Li Yunlong also lamented that the weapons and equipment of the militia and county brigades are now better than those of the new regiment before, and all kinds of light and heavy machine guns, and even mortars, are better than those of the regular army.

Although the new regiment has Ye Ming, the deputy commander, it is really quite generous, and part of the various unworthy Japanese equipment is handed over, and part of it is given to the guerrillas below.

However, in this battle, for the new regiment, the biggest gain was a large number of pseudo-army prisoners.

The little devils basically all died in battle, and the puppet soldiers basically did not dare to really fight with the new regiment, and fired a few shots into the sky to deal with the matter, the situation was not right, and they all surrendered.

Before and after, all the puppet troops who surrendered counted as many as 3,000 people, and some of them ran away faster and faster, otherwise there would be more puppet troops who surrendered.
