Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Let the first squadron support the west, the second squadron support the east, and the third squadron go to the south to defend. We must stop the enemy's attack!"

"Hayi!"

While Iga Ichiro was constantly mobilizing troops to defend everywhere, a group of Japanese soldiers had begun to gather in the Japanese garrison headquarters in Ping'an County.

"Report, the 3rd Infantry Battalion has assembled!"

"set off!"

The defenders of Ping'an County consisted of only one infantry battalion, a regiment of puppet troops, and a squad of Japanese military police from the garrison headquarters. This time, the Japanese directly assembled the third infantry battalion, and after briefly speaking the order, they immediately set out towards the Wangjia Town stronghold.

The Japanese in Ping'an County acted quickly. Five minutes after the telegram was sent, the 3rd Infantry Battalion had already set off.

Outside the county town, a soldier from the cavalry battalion watched the Japanese troops leave the city, and immediately turned his horse around and headed along the path towards the ambush site of the cavalry battalion.

At this time, in a forest about ten miles away from Ping'an County, Sun Desheng led the cavalry battalion and was waiting anxiously.

"How's the trap preparation going?"

"Battalion Commander, you have asked three times. Don't worry, as long as the Japanese dare to come, they will be blown to pieces!" Zhang Daniu is now a cavalry company commander in the cavalry battalion. Looking at Sun Desheng's appearance, he immediately said jokingly.

"Daniu, you don't know this is our cavalry battalion's first combat mission. We must complete it beautifully, otherwise I will be too embarrassed to see our commander!"

Sun Desheng looked towards Ping'an County with concern, and continued, "Our cavalry battalion is in the New 1st Regiment. We eat the best, use the best, and live in the best. The regiment commander has given us all the best supplies in the regiment. If we can't fight a good battle, I feel sorry for the regiment commander!"

Zhang Daniu looked at Sun Desheng and said, "Don't worry, Battalion Commander. The regimental commander told me when he came here that as long as we follow his arrangements, we will definitely be able to fight a beautiful annihilation battle!"

After hearing this, Sun Desheng felt a little more relieved. After calming himself down, he began the final inspection.

At this time, outside the Wangjia Town stronghold, Li Yunlong kept commanding the soldiers to fire at some positions, or use mortars to bomb some Japanese firepower points, but none of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment launched a charge.

"Captain Li, are we just going to waste time on the periphery?"

"Don't worry, the time has not come yet, wait a little longer!"

Li Yunlong said with a smile, then looked at Zhang Dabiao and said: "Zhang Dabiao, are your conscienceless cannons ready? If they are, fire two more rounds at the Japanese and let them hear the sound!"

Zhang Dabiao immediately said, "Captain, two more are ready!"

"Fight it out!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 37 Cavalry Battalion, Attack!

The huge artillery sound that Iga Ichiro heard just now was actually not from any heavy artillery with a force exceeding 100 mm.

In fact, the New 1st Regiment did not have any heavy artillery exceeding 100 mm, and even the entire 386th Brigade did not have any heavy artillery exceeding 100 mm. The sound just now was actually the sound made by the unscrupulous artillery.

The so-called "unscrupulous cannon" is a homemade earthen cannon. The main raw materials are explosive packs and oil barrels. Li Yunlong asked Kong Jie for gasoline barrels in order to make the "unscrupulous cannon".

After filling the bottom of the gasoline barrel with explosives, put in a bomb and fill the area around the bomb with things. Finally, ignite the barrel. The bomb will be directly blown away by the thrust generated by the explosion in the barrel and fall into some uncertain location two hundred meters away to explode.

The large-scale application of the conscienceless cannon should have been after the Japanese were driven away. Li Yunlong manufactured it in advance and used this simple earth cannon to slightly make up for the lack of heavy firepower of the New 1st Regiment. At the same time, it could also deter the defenders in the Wangjia Town stronghold.

"We've been fighting for so long, why aren't the opposing troops attacking yet?"

In the Wangjia Town stronghold, Iga Ichiro was observing the surroundings with a telescope, constantly looking for the enemy's position. The enemy's position could be vaguely seen on three sides, and artillery shells would fall from time to time, but there was no attack from any troops, which made Iga Ichiro feel a little strange.

"You may not know, Madam, that this is a plot by these local Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

An interpreter beside him heard Iga Ichiro's doubts and immediately began to explain.

"Oh, you actually know the art of war. Then explain why they didn't attack?"

Only the sounds of gunfire and artillery could be heard. Although some unlucky puppet soldiers were killed in the explosion, Iga Ichiro had calmed down by now and asked slowly.

"Ha Yi, Madam, let me tell you, this is actually a harassment tactic. The opposing troops know that with Madam on their side, it's impossible for them to take down the Wangjia Town stronghold head-on, so they're resorting to harassment!"

"They harass us now, then again after a while, and even more after we go to sleep. They keep harassing us back and forth like this, making it impossible for us to sleep, eat, or rest properly!"

"and then?"

Iga Ichiro felt that what the translator said made some sense and continued to ask.

"Then wait until we are completely exhausted and suddenly attack us!"

Hearing the translator's words, Iga Ichiro gave a thumbs up and said, "Yoshi, you said it very well. I didn't expect that Zhang the translator also knows about military tactics!"

"You are too kind, Madam. I learned all this from reading books. The battle still depends on you, Madam. Look, as soon as you stand here, these people are scared and dare not attack!"

And at this moment, the sound of a charge was heard in the distance.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

Shouts of fighting and killing were heard from all directions, which frightened Iga Ichiro so much that he quickly picked up the telescope to continue watching. The firepower points in the Wangjia Town stronghold also began to fire and strafed the direction where the sound came from.

But in fact, the New 1st Regiment still did not take any action, but continued to wait for the telegram.

Over an hour later, on the road from Ping'an County to Wangjia Town, the Japanese soldiers who were sent to reinforce the Wangjia Town stronghold from Ping'an County were rushing towards Wangjia Town in cars. In the cavalry battalion's hiding place, a cavalryman dismounted, panting, and said, "Battalion Commander, the Japanese are coming, with about a battalion of troops!"

Sun Desheng's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Brothers, the Japs are finally coming, get ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers of the cavalry battalion climbed onto their horses, tied their mouths with cloth to prevent them from making any noise, and hid in the woods, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese troops.

"coming!"

The lights of the Japanese trucks could be seen on the road in the distance. Several trucks were leading the way on the rugged road, getting closer and closer to the location where the cavalry battalion was hiding.

When the trucks entered the cavalry battalion's ambush circle, Sun Desheng immediately waved his hand vigorously and said, "Pull!"

Several soldiers holding pull ropes pulled hard, and the explosive packs that had been ambushed on both sides of the road were detonated.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A series of explosions sounded, and the Japanese truck in the front was directly blown up, and the vehicle lost control and crashed into the roadside.

"Enemy attack!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Watch out for mines!"

A group of Japanese soldiers immediately jumped off the car, and the Japanese captain quickly looked for a cover to look for the attackers.

At this moment, Sun Desheng slowly drew out his saber: "Brothers, kill!"

"kill!"

Following Sun Desheng's order, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion started to move out from the woods where they were hiding and rushed towards the Japanese.

As the surrounding trees began to become sparser, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion began to move faster and faster.

This ambush area was specially sought out by the cavalry battalion. It was a hill about several dozen meters high with a forest on top for hiding. After rushing out of the forest, there was a flat land where the cavalry battalion could take advantage of its speed.

The cavalry battalion rushed out of the woods in the dark night and caught the Japanese off guard. These Japanese soldiers from Ping'an County had no idea that there would be a cavalry ambushing them more than ten miles outside the county town.

They were caught off guard and had no time to set up machine gun positions before the cavalry battalion rushed directly into the crowd.

"kill!"

Sun Desheng chopped off the head of a Japanese soldier with one knife, and then chopped to death another Japanese soldier who was panicking and about to pull the bolt of his gun with another knife!

"Don't take any alive, keep killing!"

After charging once, Sun Desheng immediately turned his horse around and continued charging. The cavalry faced the unprepared infantry and it was a one-sided massacre. After charging twice, Sun Desheng suddenly remembered and immediately shouted, "The messenger sent a telegram to the regiment commander. Our troops have engaged the devils in Ping'an County and are annihilating them!"

"Yes!"

The signalman immediately rode his horse and killed a Japanese soldier, then rushed to one side and started generating electricity.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who had been waiting for news outside the Wangjia Town stronghold, finally received news from the cavalry battalion.

"Zhang Dabiao, you continue to hold them at the front. Those who have changed their clothes, follow me. Let's go!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and led the two companies of soldiers who had changed into Japanese military uniforms to move to the flank, bypassing the front of the Wangjia Town stronghold and coming to the north of Wangjia Town. This was also the only place that the New 1st Regiment did not attack.

Although Li Yunlong also disguised himself as a Japanese soldier this time, unlike the last time when he directly tricked the Japanese soldiers into opening the door, this time Li Yunlong wanted to pretend to be the Japanese soldiers' reinforcements.

The last time I tricked the Japanese into opening the gate of their stronghold, the Japanese must have discovered it and will definitely increase their defenses. If I continue to use it, I might be discovered by the Japanese and suffer a great loss.

Now pretend that the main force attacks the Wangjiazhen stronghold, so that the Japanese in the Wangjiazhen stronghold will request reinforcements. Li Yunlong will then send troops to surround the stronghold and eliminate the reinforcements. At the same time, he will disguise himself as the Japanese reinforcements and trick the gate of the Wangjiazhen stronghold into opening.

"Make yourself look a little embarrassed. Remember, we are the reinforcements from the Ping'an County devils. We were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army on the way. We finally broke through the encirclement and rushed here. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"After we go in, don't say anything and just watch me!"

"it is good!"

At this time, Iga Ichiro in the Wangjia Town stronghold had received a telegram from the Ping'an County reinforcements, saying that they had been attacked by the Eighth Route Army and were fighting. He told them not to worry, as they were organizing an attack and would continue to reinforce the Wangjia Town stronghold after eliminating this ambush!

"Besiege the point and attack the reinforcements! The Chinese troops are besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements!"

Iga Ichiro suddenly came to his senses and finally understood why the Chinese who were besieging the Wangjiazhen stronghold only fired cannons and guns but did not attack. The Wangjiazhen stronghold was not their target. Their real target was the reinforcements to support the Wangjiazhen stronghold.

Chapter 38 Sakata Nobutsu said he missed you

"Immediately send a telegram to Ping'an County and all reinforcements. The Chinese are preparing to surround and attack our stronghold. Their goal is to reinforce the troops in our stronghold!"

Iga Ichiro, who thought he had seen through Li Yunlong's plan, immediately asked the signalman to send his judgment to the various troops supporting them.

However, at this time, Li Yunlong had successfully used the cover of night to arrive at the road north of Wangjia Town stronghold, which is the most important main road from Ping'an County to Wangjia Town stronghold.

"go ahead!"

“Hurry up!”

"We'll soon reach the Wangjia Town stronghold!"

"Speed ​​up!"
