Under the supervision of the Japanese commander, the puppet troops on the city wall bravely resisted.

Da da da......

clap clap clap...

Bullets continued to fly towards the attacking militia forces and cavalry company soldiers.

Many soldiers were shot and fell to the ground and died.

However, this did not stop the soldiers from attacking.

soon.

After suffering certain casualties, the cavalry company took the lead in charging and reached the west gate.

Then, the cavalry soldiers began to bomb the city gate using explosive packs.

Rumble...

Boom boom boom...

After a fierce bombing, a hole was blown open in the west gate.

The two sides engaged in fierce gunfire at the entrance of the West City Gate.

However, given the current situation, it would not be a big problem to capture the west gate of Ping'an County.

As for the North Gate and the South Gate, they were still very quiet.

The independent battalion troops responsible for attacking the north gate and the south gate did not launch an attack.

Because Su Zheng did not give the order to attack.

bang bang bang...

clap clap clap...

Boom boom boom...

At this time, the East Gate and West Gate of the entire Ping'an County were in full swing, and the sound of gunfire was everywhere.

As time goes by, the East Gate and the West Gate will definitely be captured by the Independent Battalion, and the Battle of Ping'an County will definitely be a great victory.

This is definitely a great victory that will shock the whole country!

After all, the scale of the battle is very large.

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

In the city of Ping'an County.

Garrison headquarters.

Takeshita Shun, Saki Muyu, Fan Jinming, Zhu Ziming and others all looked very solemn.

Because judging from the continuous battle reports, the East Gate and the West Gate seemed to have been unable to bear it.

Once the East Gate and West Gate were breached, Ping'an County would be impossible to defend.

This is inevitable.

Zuo Muxi looked at Takeshita Shun and said, "Colonel, our Zuo Mu Battalion just reported that the independent battalion has breached our east gate. At this rate, we can't defend the east gate!"

Fan Jinming also said, "Your Excellency, the West City Gate can no longer bear it. I don't think this is a solution!"

Takeshita Shun naturally understood that the situation in Ping'an County was critical. ...

Originally, Takeshita Shun thought that with the strong defensive fortifications of Ping'an County and more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops, it should not be a big problem to hold out for three to five days.

But I didn't expect the independent battalion to come with such a fierce force.

This is very helpless.

Ping'an County was captured in less than three hours.

Isn't this too fast?

Takeshita Shun's face was solemn. After a long while, he finally uttered a few words, saying, "Let's hold on a little longer. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Reinforcements?

There is not even a single person there yet.

All the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops were blocked by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army and other anti-Japanese forces, and no reinforcements would arrive in Ping'an County at all.

Now that Takeshita Shun said there were reinforcements, it was just self-consolation.

He also didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive.

Sasaki Muyu, Fan Jinming, Zhu Ziming and others actually all knew what Takeshita Shun meant.

If there were reinforcements... they would have arrived long ago.

At this moment, a Japanese soldier hurried in and said, "Report to the Colonel, the east gate of Ping'an County is probably no longer safe. Now more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers are rushing into Ping'an County!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions in shock.

Before Takeshita Shun could say anything, a Japanese soldier rushed in and said, "Report to the Colonel, the West Gate has been blown open by the Eighth Route Army. We are in imminent danger. Continue to send reinforcements!"

reinforce?

Where can we find military reinforcements?

In order to defend Ping'an County, Takeshita Shun has mobilized all the troops he can to participate in the battle.

Fan Jinming glanced at Zuo Muxi, hesitated for a moment, looked at Takeshita Shun and said, "Sir Colonel, I'm not saying discouraging words... Under the current circumstances, Ping'an County cannot be defended, and staying in Ping'an County is not a solution!"

Takeshita Shun glanced at Fan Jinming and said, "If you have anything to say about 3.0, just say it directly."

Fan Jinming hesitated for a moment and said, "I think... let's retreat... Colonel, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of a lack of firewood."

"We don't need to fight the Eighth Route Army head-on. We should preserve our strength. Only by preserving our strength can we make a comeback!"

"Besides, Taiyuan didn't ask us to defend Ping'an County to the death!"

Zuo Muxi took over Fan Jinming's words and continued, "Takeshita-kun, I think what Captain Fan said makes sense!"

"We have preserved our strength... With the strength and combat effectiveness of our Imperial Army, we will be able to take back Ping'an County sooner or later!"

"If we continue to fight to the death... not only will we not be able to preserve our strength, but we will also lose the city!"

Takeshita Shun looked at Saki Muxi and Fan Jinming, and he didn't understand in his heart.

Obviously, Zuo Muxi and Fan Jinming had already wanted to withdraw.

Zhu Ziming didn't say anything.

But his meaning and attitude were also very clear; evacuating Ping'an County was the best option.

Takeshita Shun looked at the situation map on the table and listened to the sound of gunfire outside. After a long while, he slowly said, "Retreat... Perhaps conserving our strength is the best way at the moment."

Chapter 454: Takeshita Shun's shock: The Independent Battalion is too strong! We fell into a trap! (Fourth update, please subscribe)

Withdrawn!

Under the current circumstances, Takeshita Shun finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and decided to retreat.

Before the independent battalion attacked Ping'an County, Takeshita Shun thought they could defend it.

But now the independent battalion launched a fierce attack, and Ping'an County was captured in less than three hours.

The speed is really too fast.

Therefore, Takeshita Shun felt that there was no point in continuing to defend.

We can only retreat.

Hearing that Takeshita Shun had retreated in unison, Saki Muxi, Fan Jinming, Zhu Ziming and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Takeshita Shun would not listen to their advice and would insist on defending Ping'an County to the death.

If this happens, I guess everyone will be dead.

Anyone who is not stupid can see that Ping'an County can no longer be defended.

Zuo Muxi quickly flattered him, "Takeshita-kun is wise, as long as we preserve our strength, we can definitely take back Ping'an County!"

Fan Jinming also said: "Yes, Your Excellency, we must conserve our energy and strength so that we can eventually turn defeat into victory."

"After all, victory in this battle doesn't mean anything, and it can't determine victory in this war!"

Zhu Ziming also looked at Takeshita Shun and said, "The independent battalion is coming aggressively now, we should avoid their attack."

Takeshita Shun didn't want to abandon the city and retreat.

But there is nothing we can do.

They really can't defeat Su Zheng's independent battalion.

The situation is pressing!

I can only give in.

Retreat first.

Takeshita Shun nodded slightly and said, "This time we are just retreating strategically to preserve our strength, but our east and west gates have already been captured!"

"The South Gate is not suitable for retreat, and the North Gate is already sealed. How can we retreat?"

In order to make up his mind to fight to the death, Takeshita Shun blocked the north gate with sandbags.

The original intention was to fight to the death and survive.

But now I didn’t expect it to become an obstacle to retreat and breakout.

Zuo Muxi quickly said: "Don't worry, Takeshita-kun... I will immediately arrange for someone to blow up the blocked north gate!"

"There aren't many Eighth Route Army soldiers at the north gate. As long as we break out and catch them off guard, we can completely evacuate the Magic City."

Fan Jinming: "Yes, about four or five kilometers from the north gate are mountains, jungles and mountains, which are our natural barrier for retreat."

Takeshita Shun looked at Saki Muxi and Fan Jinming, and he understood in his heart.

The two of them had already colluded with each other and had planned the retreat route long ago.

If I don't agree to retreat, these two people will probably just run away.

That's it!

There is no other choice.

Takeshita Shun nodded and said, "Okay, everything will follow your plan and we will evacuate Ping'an County."

Zuo Muxi and Fan Jinming responded loudly: "Yes!"

A few minutes later, a Japanese soldier came in and said, "Report, the north gate has been cleared."

It’s fast enough!

Takeshita Shun knew that Saki Muxi and Fan Jinming must have already been preparing to clear the north gate and then evacuate from the north gate.

Zuo Muxi nodded, looked at Takeshita Shun and said, "Takeshita-kun, retreat!"

Everyone present looked at Takeshita Shun.

Takeshita Shun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Retreat... Gather the troops and retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

Everyone present responded loudly.

Soon, Takeshita Shun, Saki Muyu and Fan Jinming gathered more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops and went directly to the north gate.

These more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops included more than a dozen special warfare devils, so their combat effectiveness was not too weak.

at this time.

The sandbags that were used to block the north gate have all been removed, leaving only one gate.

As long as the city gate is opened, we can break out and retreat.

Night had fallen by then.

It's a good time to break out.
