Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Miyano Shun paused and said, "General Shinozuka, I think the most urgent thing is to consider how to defend Ping'an County. This is the most important thing."

"The entire Second Division has been killed in action. If we have not yet defended Ping'an County, the impact will be even greater, and it will also be a very humiliating battle for our Imperial Army!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded, looked at Matsushima Mamori, and asked, "Matsushima-kun, what else did Takeshita-kun say in the telegram?"

Matsushima Mamori: "Takeshita-kun requested support in the telegram."

"On the one hand, we hope that we can arrange for the Army Aviation Unit to provide artillery bombing support to Ping'an County to ensure the safety of Ping'an County."

"On the other hand, Takeshita-kun also hopes that we can arrange for support troops to arrive in Ping'an County as soon as possible, otherwise, Ping'an County may not be able to be defended!"

"In the telegram, Takeshita also mentioned that more than a thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers have appeared outside Ping'an County. It is clear that they are at the gates of the city. The situation is extremely critical!"

Need help!

Seeking help again!

It is obvious that Ping'an County is in danger.

Now that the 2nd Division has been destroyed, Yoshio Shinozuka and Toshi Miyano's goal is naturally to defend Ping'an County.

Miyano Shun said, "General Shinozuka, I think our top priority is to defend Ping'an County at all costs, otherwise we will be completely defeated in this battle!"

Shinozuka Yoshio naturally understood this truth, and nodded, saying, "Well, then we will mobilize the army aviation forces we can to carry out air strikes to support Ping'an County."

"The current situation in Ping'an County is not optimistic... The only support we can provide at the moment is air firepower!"

"As for the ground forces, send another telegram to each unit, asking them to rush to reinforce Ping'an County at all costs!"

"In short, we must defend Ping'an County!"

Miyano Shun lowered his head and said, "Ha Yi."

Afterwards, the Japanese Army Aviation Force made some preparations and then set out from Yangmingbao Airport to support Ping'an County.

............

Ping'an County.

The independent battalion and local forces have completed the encirclement of Ping'an County.

Now the entire Ping'an County has been surrounded by the independent camp.

At this time, on the city wall of Ping'an County.

Takeshita Shun, Saki Muyu, Fan Jinming and others were observing the situation of the independent battalion outside the city.

Now they have a general understanding of it.

Zuo Muxi: "Your Excellency, we now have a clear understanding of the situation of the Eighth Route Army outside the city."

"They have placed their main forces at the East City Gate. These Eighth Route Army soldiers are well-equipped and should be the main force of the independent battalion! They should have about 2,000 soldiers."

"As for the West City Gate, it is composed of some Tubalu soldiers with different clothing. There are also quite a few soldiers, more than a thousand."

"As for the North Gate and South Gate, they are both small city gates, so the troops they deployed are not many, only a few hundred or dozens!"

"It can be seen that they are targeting the East Gate as their main attack direction."

Takeshita Shun put down the binoculars and said slowly: "Based on the current situation, the independent battalion should only have more than 2,000 soldiers left."

"I was wondering where all these Eighth Route Army soldiers came from. It turns out that they have mobilized all the local Eighth Route Army troops. It seems that the independent battalion is also at the end of its strength!"

When Takeshita Shun learned that the independent battalion had surrounded the entire Ping'an County, he was very surprised and wondered where so many Eighth Route Army soldiers came from.

Unexpectedly, the independent battalion mobilized the district squads, county battalions, militia, etc. of the local forces.

After a pause, Takeshita Shun said, "However, because these Eighth Route Army soldiers have heavy weapons and large-caliber artillery for siege, the situation in our Ping'an County is not optimistic. I hope these solid city defense fortifications can withstand their attack!"

Fan Jinming took a deep breath and said, "I think with our garrison troops, we can hold out for two to three days at most."

"If our reinforcements don't arrive in the next two or three days, then I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to Ping'an County."

Takeshita Shun: "Don't worry, Taiyuan has already sent us a telegram. They are quickly gathering the Army Aviation Corps and preparing to support our Ping'an County. By then, the outside of the city will be engulfed in flames and bombed by our Army Aviation Corps!"

"As long as there is enough air fire support and attack, I believe it will not be a big problem to defend Ping'an County. ..."

Zuo Muxi and Fan Jinming both nodded.

To be honest, Takeshita Shun, Saki Muyu and Fan Jinming had no idea whether they could defend Ping'an County.

At this time, a horse appeared outside the city.

There were two human heads on the horse's back.

Fan Jinming was the first to notice the abnormality, and immediately said to Takeshita Shun: "Colonel, look...what is that?"

Takeshita Shun quickly picked up the telescope and took a closer look, and it was the heads of Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Okazaki Saburo!

Human heads!

A bloody head!

When he saw the heads of Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Okazaki Saburo, Takeshita Shun's face turned pale.

Didn’t he see two heads turned pale with fear?

The main reason was that he didn't expect that Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Saburo Okazaki were actually killed by the independent battalion.

Hiss hiss hiss...

I thought he was either dead or alive before, and maybe he had broken through and escaped.

Now that we see these two heads, it is confirmed that he was killed.

A great general!

A lieutenant general!

Now it is all in the hands of the independent camp.

When the news spread that the 2nd Division was completely wiped out and that Yoshimoto Sadaichi and Okazaki Saburo were killed, it was unknown what huge impact it would have.

Zuo Muxi's face changed in shock, and he said in astonishment: "This...this...isn't this the heads of General Yoshimoto and General Okazaki?"

Fan Jinming also recognized it, his expression changed and he said: "I didn't expect it..."

At the same time, a loudspeaker broadcast was heard.

"Listen to me, Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County. You have one hour to open the city gates and surrender, or you will be killed. Have you seen the heads of the Second Division Commander Yoshimoto Sadaichi and the Division Chief of Staff Okazaki Saburo? This is what will happen!"

"The Second Division was completely wiped out by our independent battalion on the spot. Do you think you can defend Ping'an County with your limited combat power?"

"Surrender is your only way out 3.0, otherwise you will have to reincarnate."

"The Japanese puppet army of Heian Prefecture is private and has been heard for a long time, and the castle gate has been opened for 1 time and surrendered.す. 2nd Division Commander Yoshimoto Sadaichiと师団 ginju L Okayazaki Saburo の头を见ましたか?これがEND路です!”

"The Second Division's private and independent brigade was completely wiped out.いるのか.”

"The only way to surrender is to surrender. The only way to surrender is to give birth to the child."

............

Repeated calls in Chinese and Japanese.

He kept shouting at the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

Su Zheng didn't believe that these calls could make the Japanese and puppet troops in Ping'an County open the gates and surrender. The main purpose was to conduct psychological warfare on them.

Plant the seeds of fear in their hearts.

In the attack position outside the city.

Zhou Weiguo, Lei Zifeng, Zhao Donghai and others were using telescopes to observe the situation on the city wall of Ping'an County.

Lei Zifeng grinned and said, "Captain, do you think the Japanese in the city will surrender? Hahaha!"

Chapter 444: Shocked Zhao Gang: Lao Li, you are now a division commander? A corps commander! (Second update, please subscribe)

It is almost impossible to make the Japanese and puppet troops in the city surrender by relying on two heads and shouting.

Zhou Weiguo said, "If Ping'an County is full of second-rate second-rate devils, maybe it's possible."

"But there is Takeshita Shun in the city. I know Takeshita Shun... With his character, he will definitely not surrender easily and will fight to the death."

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I am conducting psychological warfare on them again to intimidate them!"

"Plant a seed of fear in them. When we launch an attack, when they feel the strength of our independent battalion, these seeds of fear will take root and sprout, directly affecting their combat effectiveness, fighting spirit, and morale!"

"Pass on my order. All troops should prepare for battle and launch an attack on Ping'an County according to the plan!"

"Yes!" The messenger quickly conveyed the combat order.

At this time, the shouting continued.

When Takeshita Shun, Saki Muyu, Fan Jinming and others on the city wall saw the two heads, they all felt a little frightened.

Takeshita Shun also understood Su Zheng's real purpose of giving himself up, so he quickly said, "Machine gunner, shoot this horse for me!"

Da da da......

chug chu...

The heavy machine guns on the city wall opened fire, and tongues of flames spurted out.

The burning bullet hit the horse, splashing a brilliant splash of blood, and then it fell directly to the ground.

The heads of Sadaichi Yoshimoto and Saburo Okazaki on horseback also rolled to the ground.

Takeshita Shun's expression changed, and he said, "This is the independent battalion's psychological warfare tactic, which affects the morale and spirit of our 13th Army!"

"Mr. Zuo Mu, Captain Fan, go down and stabilize the morale of the troops and make sure they won't be affected by the tricks of the independent battalion!"

"Yes!"

Zuo Muxi and Fan Jinming both nodded in response.

The defending troops in Ping'an County were all on high alert, waiting for the independent battalion to launch an attack.

............

The independent battalion attacked the position.

When Su Zheng saw that Takeshita Shun had ordered the horses to be knocked down, he knew that it meant there was no need to continue shouting, so he stopped.

Next comes the battle of hard power.

Whether we can capture Ping'an County... depends on this battle.

Next, every soldier in each company and platoon was ready for the attack.

As soon as the order is given, the soldiers will launch a charge.

............

Dongling Village.

The residential building of the new regiment headquarters.

After so many days of treatment, Zhao Gang finally woke up.

The reason why Zhao Gang was able to escape danger and walk around the gates of hell this time was all thanks to the penicillin provided by Su Zheng, otherwise Zhao Gang would have died from the wound infection.

After learning that Zhao Gang had woken up, Li Yunlong immediately went to the bedside in the private house and checked on the awake Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong was very excited when he saw Zhao Gang woke up. He walked over and said, "Old Zhao, you woke up? You really scared me to death!"

Zhao Gang just woke up and felt a little weak. Looking at the excited Li Yunlong, he asked, "Old Li, I...how many days have I slept?"

Li Yunlong: "Old Zhao, about seven days in total... Now that you're awake, I'm glad you're okay."

Zhao Gang asked quickly, "Old Li, where are the people and masses in Zhaojiayu? Have they been safely evacuated? How are they doing? How is the situation at our regiment?"

At this point, Li Yunlong's face darkened and he said, "Old Zhao... all the people of Zhaojiayu have been killed."

"The civilians of the entire Zhaojiayu Village were massacred by the Japanese. Our regiment was also severely injured. In the end, only a dozen people escaped. You were also in a coma for seven days. Otherwise...if Su Zheng hadn't arrived in time and provided you with some medicine...it was an anti-inflammatory drug anyway, your condition would not be optimistic."

Li Yunlong was very clear in his heart.

It was Su Zheng's penicillin that saved Zhao Gang.

If it weren’t for Su Zheng’s penicillin, the consequences would have been disastrous, and Zhao Gang would probably have died.

Upon hearing that more than 300 lives had been lost in Zhaojiayu, Zhao Gang's face was filled with grief. He angrily said, "They are truly inhumane beasts... cough... cough... cough!"

Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang coughing and said quickly, "Old Zhao, don't say anything. You just woke up... Have a good rest. Leave the rest to me."
