The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 448 Ping An County asks for help

Author: Star Traveler

At this time, at the headquarters of the 69th Division in Ping'an County, the intelligence officer rushed into Muto Sanji's office in a hurry.

"Division Commander, something bad is going to happen, something serious is going to happen." The intelligence officer came into the room and shouted to Muto Sanji in panic.

"Bagaya Road, what's all the fuss about? Is the sky falling?" Muto Sanji said with some dissatisfaction.

The intelligence officer heard Muto Sanshi's words, paused and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, it's like this. There are a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers at the city gate, and they are likely to surround Ping'an County. Now that the city gate has been closed, they asked us what we should do

manage?"

After hearing what the intelligence officer said, Wu Teng escort was completely panicked. He quickly stood up and asked: "Nani, a large number of armed personnel? Or the Eighth Route Army, what is the situation? Also, are there two regiments and two brigades that attacked Dagu Town?

No news came back?"

At this time, Muto Sanshi was really panicking. There was not much defense force in Ping'an County now. Because of the attack on Dagu Town, he sent out more than half of the men in the city.

Although the 69th Division has more than 10,000 troops, you must know that these more than 10,000 troops have to defend three county towns, and there are also strongholds outside the county towns. Therefore, there are not many troops stationed in Ping'an County, only two

There are less than 2,000 people in this brigade.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Mr. Nakajima of Dagu Town has not sent back any news for three hours, and I have just sent them a telegram, but they have not responded yet." The intelligence officer said with a somewhat panicked expression.

.

The occurrence of this situation indicates that there must be something wrong with the troops attacking Dagu Town, otherwise it would be impossible to fail to contact them, and it would also be impossible for the Eighth Route Army to besiege Ping'an County.

After hearing what the intelligence officer said, Muto Sanji also knew the seriousness of the matter. Although he didn't want to believe it, the facts were right in front of him. Even if he didn't believe it, he couldn't change the reality.

"Come on, follow me up to the city wall to have a look." After Muto Sanji said, he picked up the command sword and turned around, walked out of his office and walked towards the city wall.

The intelligence officer saw this and had no choice but to follow him.

When the two came to the city wall, the soldiers of the New Regiment had almost surrounded Ping'an County. Muto Sanji saw the soldiers of the New Regiment digging trenches and looking at their posture, they seemed to be preparing to attack.

"It's your Excellency, the regiment leader. Look, the county town has been completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army over there." The intelligence officer pointed at the Eighth Route Army around him and said to Muto Sanji.

"Ask the two brigades remaining in the county seat to immediately go to the city wall to defend. Immediately notify Anhua County Cheng and Heyuan County to send telegrams and ask them to send troops for reinforcements. In addition, report our situation to the headquarters. If possible, request support

." Muto Sanji said to the intelligence officer beside him while looking at the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

"Hai." The intelligence officer responded after hearing Muto Sanji's words, then turned around and ran towards the telegraph room.

"Old Zhao, do you think the man on the wall is a Japanese official?" Li Yunlong was observing every move on the wall with a telescope at this time, but after seeing Muto three times, he felt that this man had an unusual temperament, so he hurriedly looked at him

Zhao Gang asked from the side.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang also picked up his telescope and looked in the direction Li Yunlong was pointing. When he saw the officer mark next to Muto Sanji, he said: "Old Li, it seems true. His military rank is not low. He is a general. This man is 80%

That’s three times as much as Muto.”

"Damn it, this old devil finally showed up. Go and call Wang Chengzhu over, hurry up." Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the weapons and equipment of an artillery squadron captured on the way.

This is really pie in the sky, because Muto triple mobilized an artillery squadron to support Nakajima Front, and happened to be met by the cavalry company that came to besiege Ping'an County.

The Japs in this artillery squadron didn't even have time to deploy the artillery. Sun Desheng captured them with a roundabout charge. The Japs didn't even have a chance to blow up the artillery, and not a single shell was used. All the artillery shells were captured by the New Regiment.

The main reason why the battle ended like this was that the encounter between the two armies was too sudden, and the artillery was unprepared. Even if there were more troops, they would only lose their lives.

The artillery squadron of the 69th Division is a strengthened squadron. It is not small in size, with a total of 356 people. It is equipped with more than 200 rifles, eight light machine guns, four mortars, and four 92

Type infantry artillery, this kid Li Yunlong was all advantaged. When he learned about this kid, he almost went crazy with joy.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Huzi on the side quickly ran to the back to call Wang Chengzhu.

After a while, Huzi brought Wang Chengzhu to Li Yunlong.

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Huzi asked happily, with a smile on his face that he couldn't even hide.

After all, he had just received the equipment of an artillery squadron from the Japanese, how could he not be happy? As the only artillery unit of the new regiment, these equipment would eventually fall into his hands.

"Zhuzhu, have you seen the man on the city wall?" Li Yunlong pointed at the Wu Teng triple on the city wall and said to Wang Chengzhu, and after speaking, he handed over the telescope.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Wang Chengzhu took the telescope in his hand and looked at the direction Li Yunlong just pointed on the city wall.

"Captain, you don't want me to bombard him with cannons, do you?" Wang Chengzhu put the telescope aside and asked Li Yunlong after reading it.

"This man is the 69th Division of the Japanese Army. The division commander is Muto Sanshi. What do you think? Are you interested in giving him a shot?" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu and said with a serious expression.

Although a sniper rifle can shoot at this distance, and their new regiment happened to capture several long-range sniper rifles when they annihilated the Yamamoto special agent team, Li Yunlong knew how it was possible for a figure like Muto Sanji to fight on the city wall.

Not taking any precautions at all.

Using a sniper rifle is not safe, and it is possible to alert the enemy, but using a cannon is different. No matter how well protected he is, as long as he hits, he is guaranteed to be blown to pieces.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, although this was a bit difficult, Wang Chengzhu still wanted to give it a try. After all, the more difficult the task, the more challenging it was. Moreover, this was a high-ranking Japanese officer, general level. As long as he completed the task, he would not be able to do it in the future.

It's a boast. How could he miss such a good thing?

Even if he misses the hit, there is no loss, right? So Wang Chengzhu said goodbye: "No problem, commander, just take a look." After saying that, Wang Chengzhu returned the telescope to Li Yunlong and turned around and ran towards his artillery position.

Soon Wang Chengzhu ran back to his artillery position, and then operated a 105mm mountain cannon. He personally mobilized and fired Zhu Yuan, then operated it, and finally looked at Muto Sanji's position.

, and pulled the mountain cannon's firing rope hard.

The cannonball left the hall in an instant, and then flew towards the shooting elements set by Wang Chengzhu.

"Your Excellency, the regiment commander, be careful of shelling." The guards around Muto Sanji immediately expected something bad when they heard the whistling sound of the shells, so they immediately threw Muto Sanji to the ground and pinned him down.

As soon as he knocked down Muto with his front foot, the cannonball followed and exploded. Thanks to him, Muto was knocked down three times, otherwise Muto would have been in danger.

"Ono-kun, Ono-kun." After Muto Sanji came to his senses, he hurriedly checked on the guard who had just knocked him down. It turned out that he was no longer moving, and then he saw several pieces of shrapnel stuck in his back.

"Baga." Muto Sanji couldn't help but cursed when he saw this scene.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, get out of here quickly. It's too dangerous here." When several other Japanese soldiers saw Muto Sanji stood up, they hurriedly grabbed him and ran towards the city wall.

At this moment, they didn't care whether Muto Sanji agreed or not, so they quickly got off the city wall and ran towards the headquarters.

Of course, what happened could not escape Li Yunlong's eyes. He watched helplessly as Muto was carried off the city wall three times, but at this moment, he had no other choice.

"This old devil is really lucky. We haven't killed him even after this. If the devil hadn't overthrown him just now, he would have been shattered to pieces by now." Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang unwillingly.

"Forget it, Old Li, our plan is to besiege the county seat, not to knock it down." Zhao Gang persuaded Li Yunlong when he saw that he was unwilling.

"Captain, commander, how are you? Have you killed the Japanese official?" At this time, Wang Chengzhu also ran over and asked Li Yunlong. After all, he was very confident in his shot and thought it hit, so he

He ran over to Li Yunlong to claim credit.

Hearing Wang Chengzhu's words, you, Li Yunlong, did not reply. Zhao Gang on the side saw that the scene was a little tense and Li Yunlong lost his temper, so he said: "Zhu's cannons are still very accurate. The main reason is that the Japanese were lucky and were dodged by him."

It’s over.”

"Don't be discouraged. I didn't kill him this time. Just wait until next time and kill him next time." Zhao Gang explained to Wang Chengzhu again.

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Wang Chengzhu also knew that the cannon should have missed the target this time, so he did not dare to ask Li Yunlong for credit, and ran back to the rear in dejection.

At this time, soldiers from the first battalion ran over and reported to Li Yunlong: "Captain, now that we have completed the siege of Ping'an County, our battalion commander asked me to come over and ask for instructions on whether to launch a wave of attacks against the Japanese next."

After hearing the words of the soldiers from the first battalion, Li Yunlong thought for a while. Although they did not come here with the intention of capturing the county town, they also wanted to make a show of it so that the Japanese thought they were going to attack the county town and then ask for support.

"Go back and tell Zhang Dabiao, and also tell the Second Battalion, Third Battalion, and Fourth Battalion to launch a wave of feint attacks on the county town to build momentum for me and make it look like we are bound to knock down the county town to disrupt the Japanese intentions."

"Yes, commander." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, the soldier responded, then turned around to deliver the order.

After a while, the four battalions of the New Regiment, plus various local militia teams, began to launch a large-scale feint attack on Ping'an County. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of gunfire, and the soldiers rushed towards Ping'an County with shouts.

.

It's just that the speed is very slow. Although it looks like it's about to attack the city in terms of momentum, if you look closely, you can still find some problems.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's bad, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack the city." The guard ran into the headquarters in a panic and shouted to Muto Sanji.

"Nani, so fast, tell the city defense brigade to hold on. In addition, immediately send an emergency telegram to Anhua County and Heyuan County, asking them to move quickly to support Ping'an County." Muto Sanshi heard the guard

After saying these words, he immediately shouted loudly. At this time, he had lost an inch. Especially the shot just now had frightened him. If he hadn't been fatal, he would have died on the city wall.

He had already seen the situation of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side of the city wall just now. Although he didn't know how many people came, but based on the lineup, it was probably less than 10,000. He didn't know when such a force appeared in his defense zone.

This doesn't look like a regiment, it's clearly a division.

If he had known this, he would not have sent people to attack Dagu Town. He did not expect that a momentary mistake would result in such huge losses. Not only did he fill in the strength of two regiments and two brigades, but he also lost an artillery squadron.

Now that the city's defense force has dropped to its lowest point in history, if Ping'an County is captured by the enemy, he will become the laughing cake of the Japanese army. Not only will his life be in danger, but his family's power in the local area will also be in danger.

to pressure from the military.

After thinking about it, Muto Sanji still felt that it was a bit unsafe, so he said: "In addition, send a telegram to the headquarters to tell them about our situation here and ask for tactical guidance."

"Ha Yi." The guard agreed and ran out to deliver the order. After all, if the Eighth Route Army invaded the city, none of them would be able to escape.

…………

At the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Kusuyama Hideyoshi also received a telegram from Muto Sanzo, and immediately rushed into Shinozuka Yoshio's office.

"Your Excellency, Commander, what's wrong, the commander of the 69th Division, Muto Sanzo, sent a telegram saying that the Eighth Route Army has surrounded Ping'an County. It is initially judged that it is Li Yunlong's new regiment." Kusuyama Hideyoshi held the telegram to Shinozuka.

The adopted man said.

"Nani, Ping'an County is surrounded by Li Yunlong's new regiment?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked incredulously. You must know that the Sixty-ninth Division is one division. Although it defends three counties, it is equally divided into three counties.

The military strength of a county town is not a small number, especially since he has also lined up two regiments of troops to support him. Moreover, Li Yunlong only has one regiment, how can he surround a county town? This is the biggest joke he has heard today.

"According to the intelligence feedback, the two regiments we sent to support have probably been wiped out by Li Yunlong, and the new regiment is not a regiment. According to the description of the division commander Muto Sanshi, the siege of Ping An

There are 10,000 troops in the county, and they also have artillery." As the chief of staff of the military region, Kusuyama Hideyoshi is still very capable. But based on the news from Muto's triple response, he concluded that the two regiments that were going to attack Dagu Town had already

Was wiped out by the new group.
