Chapter 449 Stopping the Japs

"Ten thousand people? Li Yunlong is not a regiment commander. How can he have so many troops?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked when he heard Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words. You must know that with the current structure of the China Army, ten thousand people are the size of a division. And Li Yunlong's new regiment is obviously a regiment, only two or three at most.

Just a thousand people.

After hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, although he knew it was difficult for him to accept it, Kusuyama Hideyoshi still explained: "Your Majesty Commander, you don't know the speed of the expansion of the Eighth Route Army. Although the new regiment is organized as a regiment, as long as their superiors

If the leader does not blame, it is not up to him to decide how much troops he wants to expand.

"Let's talk about Ping An County first. We all know Mr. Muto. He is a very proud guy. He will not ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary. Since he has asked us for tactical guidance, it means that the situation has reached an irreversible state.

The situation is such that he himself doesn’t have much hope as to whether he can hold on to the county seat.”

"Nanshan Army, I know what you want to say, but we are far away from him in Taiyuan. Even if we want to support him, we are far away and cannot quench our thirst. At this time, we still have to rely on ourselves. Besides, the 69th Division is not in Anhua County.

, there are troops stationed in Heyuan County, isn't it enough to mobilize the troops from these two counties to relieve the crisis?"

It's not that Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't want to support Muto three times, but he is really powerless, mainly because the distance is too far, and the vicinity of Taiyuan is not without pressure. There are not only the Eighth Route Army but also the Shanxi-Sui Army in Yanxi Mountain. If he is sent

If there are more troops, then these troops will definitely have to take action. But if the troops are small, they will have to pass through more than ten defense zones. Even if they can get through safely, it may be too late by the time the troops arrive.

"Your Excellency, Commander, although the Sixty-ninth Division has troops stationed in the other two counties, there are the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army near these two counties. They will definitely not stand idly by. Even if these two

The strength of the group is not as good as that of the new group, but we can still do it if we want to delay us for some time." Kusuyama Hideyoshi heard what Yoshio Shinozuka said and said directly.

"Then call Mr. Muto back and tell him that he can only rely on himself in this battle. If Ping'an County is really captured by the Eighth Route Army, then let him be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." Yoshio Shinozuka said helplessly.

Anyway, it would be too late to send troops directly from Taiyuan. So I could only tell him clearly that he could only rely on himself.

"Hai." Although he had no choice but to listen to Yoshio Shinozuka's words, Kusuyama Hideyoshi went to send a telegram to Muto Sanji.

As for whether he can defend Ping'an County, it can only depend on Muto's triple luck.

…………

Soon the Japs in Heyuan County and Anhua County received Muto Sanshi's order. After receiving the telegram, they immediately gathered their troops, leaving only enough troops to defend the county, and then quickly moved towards Ping'an County.

At this time, in the ambush position of the Independent Regiment, Kong Jie was lying on the slope and smoking his old pipe. Since the beginning of the operation, the Independent Regiment has been ambushing here for two days. If the Japanese did not come,

He might be about to retreat. After all, the independent regiment didn't have much food to begin with, and it was hard to hold on. If they wasted a few days, they themselves would starve to death without the arrival of the little devils.

However, Kong Jie did not doubt Li Yunlong's judgment. After all, he knew that Li Yunlong's battlefield acumen was definitely much higher than that of him and Ding Wei.

Since Li Yunlong said that the Japs in the county will come back, then the little Japs will definitely come out.

The same goes for Ding Wei. He also led the soldiers of the New Second Regiment to lie down in the ambush position for two days. He was almost exhausted. In order to capture something for himself, he could only lurk somewhere.

"Captain, commander, there's a situation, there's a situation." A soldier quickly ran to Kong Jie and shouted to Kong Jie who was smoking.

"What's wrong, Xiao Liu, please speak slowly and don't be in a hurry." After hearing what the soldier said, Kong Jie smoked his pipe and asked.

"Captain, the Japs in the direction of the county town have moved and are now heading towards us." The soldier took a breath and said to Kong Jie.

"It's really here." Kong Jie was very excited after hearing the report from his subordinates. After all, he had been waiting here for a long time.

"Here he comes, and the kid seems to be in a hurry. He didn't investigate the situation on both sides of the road. Captain, this is an opportunity for us." The soldier named Xiao Liu continued to say to Kong Jie.

"Okay, guard, pass on my order and tell everyone to move around, but not too much. Just move your body a little. The Japanese will be here soon. Please listen to my order and prepare to take action." Kong Jie was a little excited.

said.

"Yes, commander, I will inform you now." After hearing Kong Jie's words, the soldier turned around and went to convey the order.

"Damn it, the little devil is finally here, I have been waiting for so long." Kong Jie complained, then stood up and moved his body, preparing to give the little devil a show of his strength later.

The same thing happened at the position of the New Second Regiment.

"Captain, the Japs are coming." The soldier in charge of the investigation ran to Ding Wei to report.

"His grandma, this little devil is finally here. I have not waited in vain these days. The security guard informed everyone to get ready and hide their bodies to avoid being discovered by the little devil. When the devil arrives, listen to my orders.

Act." Hearing that the Japanese were coming, Ding Wei gave the order decisively.

The Japanese troops who set out from Heyuan County and Anhua County also received three times the urgent telegram from Muto on the way, asking them to speed up and march towards Ping'an County.

Therefore, in order to rush for time, the two troops did not conduct reconnaissance of the environment on both sides of the road. After all, reconnaissance while walking would definitely waste a lot of time. If they left too late because of this, and Ping'an County was captured by the Eighth Route Army, then they

There will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

When Ding Wei and Kong Jie saw the Japanese's actions, they both smiled happily, thinking that the ambush was definitely stable.

On the Independent Regiment side, Kong Jie watched the Japanese slowly walk into his ambush circle.

"Commander, the Japs only have one brigade here." The commander of the next battalion said to Kong Jie.

"How come there are more than 800 people in a brigade, why are you not satisfied?" Kong Jie glanced at Battalion Commander Zhang and said: "Tell everyone, fight quickly, remember, there is no need to save ammunition this time, how can you reduce losses?

."

Although the Independent Regiment now has nearly 3,000 troops, most of them are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the little Japs. There are just enough Japs coming, so there is not much pressure to eat, and there is no need to worry about too many casualties.

.

The Japanese didn't know that there was an ambush on both sides, so they just moved forward quickly and rushed to support Ping'an County.

Kong Jie was lying on the slope, watching all the little devils enter his encirclement, he decisively fired a shot into the air, and then shouted loudly: "Hit me hard.

As Kong Jie's order was issued, the soldiers of the independent regiment opened fire one after another, especially the light and heavy machine guns, desperately attacking the Japanese. Because Kong Jie had given the order not to save bullets, everyone rushed down to follow the enemy without firing three shots.

The Japanese fought with bayonets.

Although the little Japanese soldiers were ambushed, the Japanese soldiers did not panic too much. They followed the commander's orders and slowly formed their formation and then fought back.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the Eighth Route Army is opposite. There seem to be two regiments of troops." A Japanese staff officer ran over and said to the captain.

What the Japs said was not wrong. The Eighth Route Army they encountered before had only more than a thousand troops in one regiment. The size of the independent regiment made him think it was two regiments.

"Nani, how come there are so many troops from two regiments?" Hearing the staff officer's words, the Japanese captain felt nervous. If the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had only one regiment, he was still confident that he could take it down.

However, the two regiments were on the defensive side. He had no confidence at all in this battle. Not to mention going to support Ping'an County, he probably wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

So he said: "Quick, order the troops to rush out quickly, otherwise we will definitely be wiped out."

As the captain's order was issued, the Japanese quickly began to organize their troops and began to rush forward, trying to break out of the encirclement.

When the soldiers of the Independent Regiment saw this, they began to fire light and heavy machine guns, blocking the road ahead with fire.

The Japanese charged several times but failed. Not only did they fail to break out of the encirclement, they also lost a lot of troops.

"First battalion commander, we must push the little devil back. We must not let the little devil break out of the encirclement." Kong Jie also discovered the little devil's intention and said to the first battalion commander.

"Captain, don't worry. As long as I'm here, the little Japs won't be able to break out." The battalion commander assured Kong Jie,

"Your Excellency, Captain, we can't. The firepower from the other side is too fierce and we can't get out at all." A Japanese soldier ran over and shouted to the captain.

But the captain had no choice but to let the soldiers rush forward. After all, time was running out. If they couldn't rush out, the only thing waiting for them would be annihilation.

At this moment, a cannonball fell next to the captain.

"Captain, be careful, there are artillery shells." But when the soldier heard the whistling of the artillery shells, he rushed over and pinned the Japanese captain under him.

After the explosion, the captain pushed away the Japanese soldier who was pressing on him, but the soldier was already dead, with several pieces of broken shrapnel stuck in his back.

At this moment, the captain did not care about his sorrow and shouted directly: "Organize the troops to rush forward for me immediately, otherwise everyone will be destroyed."

The Japanese soldiers nearby heard the captain's words and immediately moved closer to him, preparing to charge with him later.

Kong Jie, who was lying on the slope, saw this situation and felt that the time was almost up, so he shouted to the bugler: "Blow the charge horn and prepare to charge."

Upon hearing Kong Jie's words, the bugler immediately took out the charge horn and started to blow it.

When the soldiers heard the charge, they immediately attached bayonets to their rifles, then stood up and rushed toward the Japanese with shouts.

Upon seeing this, Kong Jie also took out his Ghost Head Sword, jumped up and followed the soldiers towards the Japanese.

"Quick, come to me, rush up and chop up the little son of a bitch." Kong Jie shouted as he ran. The guards watching on the side were extremely nervous. They followed Kong Jie to observe the situation and protect Kong Jie.

Jie's safety.

Soon, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment collided with the Japs. However, this time, the enemy group had an absolute advantage. After all, after just a few rounds of shooting, there were less than 300 Japs left, and the number of the Independent Regiment was It's about eight times that of the little devil. If he can't win, then Kong Jie can be dismissed from get out of class.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour and ended when the last Japanese was hacked to death by Kong Jie with a machete.

"Quickly, let the soldiers clean the battlefield, and then arrange for evacuation. Send someone to tell Li Yunlong that we have wiped out all the Japs' support troops." Kong Jie used his big knife to support the ground, and then said breathlessly.

After hearing Kong Jie's words, the soldiers began to clean the battlefield and took away everything they could. They were not willing to waste even a bullet casing.

As for Ding Wei, the battle has just begun.

When Ding Wei saw the Japs entering the encirclement, he decisively gave his artillery a bombardment order. The Japs were bombarded and immediately fell to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Captain, we are under shelling and the enemy is on our left front." The Japanese quickly discovered the location of the artillery of the New Second Regiment and said to their captain.

"Rush over and kill it." The Japanese captain was very clear-headed and knew that in such a small place, if the enemy was allowed to fire, his own side would be suppressed and unable to raise its head. In this way, the battle would be impossible to fight.

You can only kill the enemy's artillery now, and then find a way to rush out or withdraw to escape the enemy's encirclement.

After hearing the captain's words, a squadron of Japanese soldiers soon began to rush toward the location of the New Second Regiment's artillery, preparing to destroy the New Second Regiment's artillery position.

When Ding Wei saw this, he immediately shouted: "Hit me, we must not let the little devil rush over."

After hearing Ding Wei's words, the New Second Regiment, consisting of two or more people and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, immediately opened fire, shooting at the Japanese.

A hail of bullets formed a blockade. Any Japanese who tried to rush past were shot to the ground, and some were even cut in two by bullets.

Most of a squadron of Japs were wiped out in an instant.

"Captain, it seems that the enemy is well prepared. The firepower is too strong and we can't rush through at all."

After hearing the soldier's words, the Japanese captain frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Then let's ignore the enemy's artillery for now, organize the manpower to find a way to rush out, and also send a report to the division commander, saying that we have been attacked by unknown armed forces.

We are blocked by force, and now we are trying to find a way to break through."

After hearing the captain's words, the other Japanese soldiers began to perform their duties, organizing troops and sending telegrams.

"By the way, let the soldiers retreat in the direction of the county seat. Wherever there may be a weak point in the encirclement." The captain thought that the reason why the enemy surrounded him here must be that he was not willing to support Ping'an County. Then the rear must be

It was the weak spot in the enemy's encirclement, so he shouted to the soldiers around him.
