The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 459 Taking down Ping'an County

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao immediately turned around and ran to convey Li Yunlong's order.

After Matsushita returned to the city, he also told Muto Sanbo the conditions Li Yunlong offered. Although he didn't know if Li Yunlong's words counted, but at this moment they had no other way out, they could only go all the way to the dark, hoping Li Yunlong can keep his promise.

Although the two battalions have a lot of weapons and equipment, it is not impossible to take them out. As the forward position of this anti-mopping up, the Kwantung Army division commander added some weapons and ammunition to them when he came last time, although not as much as Li Yunlong requested. , that is not impossible.

The only way is to confiscate the firearms of the puppet soldiers in the city. Anyway, these puppet soldiers are not one with them, and they are all things that fall with the wind. Even if they are kept, they will probably die when Li Yunlong enters the city Surrender now.

Now in Ping'an County, there are three brigades of the Japanese army and a regiment of puppet troops.As for the weapons and equipment of the two battalions Li Yunlong requested, although they are not the battalion-level organizational system in the new regiment, a battalion is also calculated as 800 people.

After confiscating the weapons of the puppet army, they ransacked all the spare weapons and equipment in the warehouse, and only then did they meet the quantity required by Li Yunlong.

After everything was ready, Muto Sanbei arranged for Matsushita to take five people and three transport vehicles out of the city gate and head towards the temporary headquarters where Li Yunlong was.

This time Li Yunlong led troops to attack Ping'an County, afraid of being attacked by the artillery of the little devils, so he arranged the headquarters far away from the county, basically beyond the range of all the existing Japanese artillery.

No wonder Li Yunlong was cautious, after all, this was a battlefield, and he had only one life, and Li Yunlong didn't want to waste his life here, he also wanted to save his life to kill more little devils.

Matsushita backed out of the city gate, and drove three trucks with a few of his men straight to the headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment five kilometers to the northwest.

There were no accidents along the way. The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had already received the news. They got out of the way and stood on both sides of the road, watching the three trucks full of goods slowly driving towards the headquarters.

The current trucks have a limited load capacity, and when they are full of goods, they are only faster than horse-drawn carts.

It took more than ten minutes to drive for five kilometers before the three trucks slowly stopped in front of Li Yunlong.

After parking the car, Panasonic helped to open the door, jumped off the truck, walked up to Li Yunlong, bowed and said:

"Li Sang, I brought everything you asked for. When will you leave with your troops?"

Matsushita support was always cautious when speaking, staring at Li Yunlong, for fear that he would drive across the river and tear down the bridge, and tear up the contract with him after collecting the things.

It's not like they didn't have doubts before, but they had no other choice but to bet that Li Yunlong kept his word and would keep his promise and withdraw his troops after receiving the things.

But this kind of thing that takes one's own fate as a bet, if it is not a last resort, no one is willing to do it.

Hearing Panasonic's words of support, Li Yunlong laughed, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, won't make fun of my character, let your people come down, I'll send someone to finish counting later, Take your troops and leave."

After speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand behind him.

Seeing Li Yunlong's gesture, the soldiers who had prepared for a long time immediately charged up and began to move the supplies on the car down.

On the other side, someone was ready to take charge of the inventory. After five or six minutes of work, a soldier got up and came to Li Yunlong to report: "Commander, the inventory of weapons and equipment is complete. There are a total of 6 rifles, eight light machine guns, There are four heavy machine guns, four grenade launchers, and two mortars. In addition, there are bullets, shells, grenades, etc... "

"Leader Li, I have arranged your order to deliver the things, you see..." Matsushita Support said while pointing in the direction of the county, which means that you should do things after you have taken the things.

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I will send an order to retreat. Don't worry, you don't know who I am, Li Yunlong. It is said that I use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since I took your things, I must do things for you. Yes." Li Yunlong put his hands on his waist while talking, and when Panasonic was relaxing, he suddenly pulled out his pistol.

To the head of Matsushita Support is "Bang, Bang," two shots.

And Panasonic Support was happy to hear Li Yunlong's words, and it was completely unexpected that Li Yunlong would come to such a place.

He was not prepared at all, and after being shot, he fell directly on his head, without even changing the smile on his face.

After hearing the gunshot, the five devil soldiers were shot and killed by Eighth Route Army soldiers guarding both sides just as they wanted to make a move.

Seeing that the little devils were all beaten to death, Li Yunlong picked up his pistol and blew on the muzzle.I thought to myself, "This little devil is too easy to deceive. He got these large quantities of weapons without any effort. If he comes here a few times, his new group will definitely grow stronger."

And Zhang Dabiao, who was on the front line, immediately organized a battalion of soldiers after hearing gunshots not far behind him, and began to think about charging inside the city.The soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion saw the movement of the first battalion and rushed to follow.

Because the bombardment has not ended, a section of the city wall has been blown out at this time.

The Japanese army inside the city wall saw the Eighth Route Army rushing towards them from all directions, and their hearts tightened immediately, and then they began to organize troops to defend.

But in the face of the Eighth Route Army, which has a huge disparity in strength, this kind of defense is not effective at all. They have a small strength, although there are more than 3000 people including the puppet army.

But at this time, the puppet army had been disarmed by Muto Triple, and some of the [-] Japanese troops had to maintain order in the city and protect the security of the headquarters.
Therefore, there were not many troops that could be used to defend the city. In just a moment, the Eighth Route Army with three battalions of more than 6000 people broke through the defensive position and rushed into the city.

The three battalions were divided into three directions and rushed towards Mito Muto's headquarters. All the devils who resisted were shot to death along the way.

Anyway, as long as people wearing devil uniforms, no matter whether they have weapons in their hands or not, they can shoot up. Even the puppet soldiers lie on the ground in fear, waiting to surrender to the Eighth Route Army after the battle is over.

In the headquarters at this time, Muto Sanbo also got the news that the Eighth Route Army broke through the city gate and came to kill him.

Wu Teng Sanbei was immediately furious. Although he had expected Li Yunlong's lack of martial arts ethics and backtracking, when the incident happened, he was still a little angry.

There was resentment for Li Yunlong's failure to keep his integrity, and there was also resentment for Li Yunlong's easy trust in Li Yunlong and the initiative to send him weapons and equipment for two battalions.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to send the weapons and equipment of the two battalions to Li Yunlong, although he still couldn't change the fact that the city was breached by the Eighth Route Army, at least he wouldn't have resisted for longer. He led his troops into the city.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing now is to destroy the documents and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, committing seppuku.

Although he didn't want to die, at this time, it was too late to escape, and he might be captured alive by Li Yunlong.

If it really came to that point, not only would he not feel better, but his family members who stayed in Japan would also be persecuted by the military.

In this way, it would be better to commit seppuku by oneself, and the whole family could be saved by dying alone.

But the Eighth Route Army didn't give him a chance at all. Before he finished burning the documents and materials, he heard gunshots. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army would come in soon.

Thinking of this, Muto Sanbei didn't have time to destroy the documents, so he quickly pulled out the command knife on the table, then unbuttoned his shirt, pointed the command knife at his abdomen, closed his eyes, and stabbed hard.

Immediately, Muto's three times body was pierced by the sharp command knife, and the blood flowed down immediately.

The commander of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army, Mibo Muto, who was full of crimes, committed seppuku in his headquarters in Ping'an County.

When Zhang Dabiao arrived with a battalion of soldiers from the assault company in person, Muto was already dead and couldn't die anymore. Fortunately, the documents and materials in the fire were not completely burned.

Although it's a pity that Muto Sanbo was not captured alive, it would be nice to get the devil's documents, so Zhang Dabiao hurriedly asked the soldiers to put out the fire.

Rescue the unburned documents and materials in the brazier, and then search around Muto Mibo's headquarters to see if there is anything else useful.

Zhang Dabiao searched around, but found nothing, and he couldn't understand the documents, so he pulled out Muto's three-fold command saber from his body, and took the soldiers out of the city to report to Li Yunlong.

The other soldiers continued to search in the city to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, and to maintain law and order in the city. Although the devils were wiped out and the puppet troops surrendered, there are still many hooligans in the city. Li Yunlong was afraid that they would take advantage of the fire and cause unnecessary troubles, so some troops had to be left in the city to deter these little people.

After all, this is the first time that the Eighth Route Army has taken over a county. If these people cause some turmoil, it will definitely cause some unnecessary blows to the prestige of the Eighth Route Army.

"Regimental Commander, now the whole county is under the control of our Xinyi regiment, the devils have been wiped out, and the puppet army has also surrendered. The soldiers are clearing up some diehards. It will end soon. What shall we do next? Do it?" Zhang Dabiao came to Li Yunlong and reported to him.

With a smile on his face, after all, since he joined the Eighth Route Army, it was the first time he had made such a big move, so he couldn't help being a little excited.

"Let's advance into the city now, and make plans when Political Commissar Zhao arrives." Li Yunlong replied after hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, and then led the guards towards Ping'an County.

Entering the city, I saw that there were no ordinary people on both sides of the street except for the Eighth Route Army soldiers coming in and out. After all, there was a battle just now.

Before it was stabilized, the common people would definitely hide at home and dare not come out. It would be enough to publicize it after Zhao Gang arrived. Li Yunlong didn't care, but walked all the way towards the devil's headquarters.

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in Taiyuan, didn't know that Ping'an County had been breached by the Eighth Route Army. The telegram he received before only said that Ping'an County was besieged by the Eighth Route Army's Li Yunlong Department and asked for support.

So Shinozuka Yoshio immediately asked the 21st Division and the 22nd Division to send people to support Ping'an County after receiving the telegram from Muto Triple.

Afraid that Muto would not be able to defend Ping'an County, he asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Ping'an County every half an hour to inquire about the situation in Ping'an County, but now it has been an hour since the last telegram.

However, Ping'an County did not reply, so Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly felt bad. Although he did not believe that Ping'an County would be attacked by Li Yunlong's troops in such a short period of time, after all, Ping'an County had three brigades of troops. There is also a battalion of puppet troops, and they are still on the defensive side.

Even if he couldn't resist, he wouldn't be attacked by Li Yunlong in such a short period of time. You must know that he delivered a lot of supplies to Muto Triple.

But what he didn't expect was that Muto Sanbei would have a private relationship with Li Yunlong. In order for the two parties to coexist peacefully, they even allocated part of these materials to Li Yunlong's new group.

When Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County, he even gave him the weapons and equipment of two battalions in one fell swoop, making the new regiment even stronger.Otherwise, even if Li Yunlong could break through Ping'an County, he wouldn't have seized so many. After all, they were not dead, and they would definitely burn the supplies in the warehouse if they couldn't guard them.He even went on a killing spree, leaving Li Yunlong to be an empty city.

But things didn't work out, that's what Wu Teng Sanbei did, which made Li Yunlong break through the county so easily.

Otherwise, even if Li Yunlong was able to take down the county, it would not be so easy. As the defenders of the city, the Japanese army relied on the city walls for defense.

"Go, I'm sending a telegram to the direction of Ping'an County. If there is still no reply, let the troops from the 21st and 22nd Divisions who went to support withdraw." Shinozuka Yoshio said to Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi with a gloomy face.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you mean... that Ping'an County was captured by Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment?" Nanshan Hideyoshi asked in disbelief.

"Although I don't want to believe it, is there any other explanation?" Hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio asked him back.

"This..., well, I'll send a telegram to Muto-kun now." Seeing what Yoshio Shinozuka said, Kusuyama Hideyoshi had nothing to say, so he could only follow Yoshio Shinozuka's request to send a telegram to Mito Muto The newspaper inquired about the situation in Ping'an County. I hope that the battle situation is not as the commander said. If this is the case, then the next battle will be difficult to fight.
