Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 100: Pingshun County is not safe

Wang Xikui nodded.

Dozens of brothers from the sniper company stood up with sniper rifles, aimed at the Japanese bombers and pulled the trigger.

Dense bullets flew into the air.

Plane after plane was hit and started to smoke.

The planes flew away into the distance, leaving long trails of black smoke.

The soldiers who were fleeing wildly with weapons just now saw planes crashing one after another near them, and they quickly stopped.

The people nearby rushed up the mountain like crazy.

"The planes of these little devils have been shot down by our soldiers again. Folks, don't let these little devils go."

"Look, those smoking planes are about to fall. Folks, hurry up and catch all these little devils."

These villagers ran towards the distance happily one by one.

Ling Yunzhi stopped and looked into the distance with a telescope.

As expected, those smoking planes did not fly more than a few dozen kilometers and all crashed to the ground.

The people ran towards the Japanese planes as if they were going to a fair.

None of the 200 planes were able to fly back.

"Well fought. We fought a great battle." Ling Yunzhi nodded with satisfaction.

260 Japanese planes were shot down in that day.

The Japanese suffered heavy losses in the direction of the airport, and it is estimated that it will take them several months to fully recover.

…………

Ling Yunzhi returned to the military camp.

More than a dozen trucks drove over from a distance.

Duan Peng and several others quickly stepped forward to greet them.

A driver jumped out of the car and said, "Where's your boss? Maybe he has something important to say."

"Come with me." Duan Peng had been pestering Wei Dayong to learn how to drive a motorcycle. This kid was very smart. In less than an hour, he had mastered the skill of driving a three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Sir, this driver wants to see you."

Duan Peng brought this person directly to Ling Yunzhi.

"Sir, something terrible has happened.

We saw quite a few Japanese soldiers when we came here. Fortunately, we took a detour, otherwise, the shells and bullets on our dozen vehicles would have been snatched away by these Japanese soldiers. "

Ling Yunzhi was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Japanese had already reached the base.

"How many of these little devils are there? Which direction did they come from?"

"Report to the commander, we don't know the exact number of these little devils, but we saw at least more than 2000 little devils."

"We don't know which direction these devils are coming from."

"Sir, these Japs have two tanks and four armored vehicles."

Ling Yunzhi was shocked when he heard this.

This group of Japanese devils actually got close to Pingshun County.

"Duan Peng, take these drivers with us to rest. Let Wei Dayong and the others come over. I have something important to tell them."

"Yes……"

The driver smiled and said, "Sir, we are not tired. According to the itinerary, we should have delivered all the ammunition two days ago.

In order to avoid those little devils, we walked for an extra day."

"We brothers quickly unload all the ammunition."

Ling Yunzhi nodded.

"Duan Peng, take a few brothers with you and follow the direction the driver told us to find out the details of the Japanese invaders."

"Find out the Japanese's system. We'll take action tonight."

"Yes……"

These drivers discovered more than 2000 Japanese soldiers, which means that the Japanese soldiers attacking Pingshun County were definitely not a battalion of troops, but most likely a regiment of troops.

This means that there were at least 3000 Japanese soldiers who came to invade Pingshun County.

Duan Peng and a dozen of his brothers set out from the military camp in Pingshun County on a sidecar three-wheeled motorcycle.

……

The Japanese Sakata Company marched straight towards Pingshun County in a mighty force.

However, they stopped less than 50 miles away from Pingshun County.

"Sir, it seems that all the planes we saw just now were shot down by the Eighth Route Army." Captain Tian Yuan Koji ran in front of Sakata Nobutsu.

"There were two or three hundred planes in the two waves, but I looked at the more than 200 planes and it seemed that they did not land. The bombs were dropped at the designated locations.

The firepower of these local Eighth Route Army soldiers is quite strong."

Nobutsu Sakata was looking into the distance with a telescope. Even though he was dozens of miles away, Nobutsu Sakata could still see the billowing smoke rising from the distant mountains.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Where did the Tubalu get so many anti-aircraft weapons?"

Nobutsu Sakata would never believe that Ling Yunzhi had so many anti-aircraft guns under his command.

"Sir, you saw the aerial battle just now. The Empire suffered heavy losses in its aircraft."

Nobutsu Sakata shook his head. The distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly.

Even the dense gunfire just now, he couldn't hear clearly.

"Tanenzono Koji, why do you always say those words that adults' ambitions will destroy your own prestige?" Sakata Nobutsu said angrily.

"I have promised His Excellency the General that we will capture Pingshun County within five days."

"Don't let unfounded things affect our operations." Sakata Nobutsu said angrily.

Although Nobutsu Sakata is a colonel, he has maintained an undefeated record in battles against the Chinese army.

In the eyes of the conceited Japanese officer Nobutsu Sakata, all Chinese troops were vulnerable.

"Sir, we must not take this lightly."

"After all, Ling Yunzhi, who occupied Pingshun County, wiped out one of our divisions." Harada Koji continued to argue.

"Harada-kun, forgive me for being blunt, but General Sakahara of the Sakahara Division is too arrogant. They have been fighting so smoothly in recent years that they underestimated the enemy."

Nobutsu Sakata always said that Sakahara Shoshiro underestimated his opponent, and he was even more arrogant than Sakahara Shoshiro.

"Plus, Pingxingguan is a strategically located place, and this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers ambushed there. They had the advantage of the right time and the right place.

Pingshun County is a county with no strategic location to defend.

When we attack Pingshun County, we can just take advantage of our strengths.”

Nobutsu Sakata is confident of taking over Pingshun County and is determined to win.

"Pass the order down. The army must reach Pingshun County tomorrow morning. When we attack the city tomorrow, we must kill all the Eighth Route Army soldiers." Sakata Nobutsu's words were orders.

"Hey..."

The Sakata Brigade marched straight towards Pingshun County.

Tanks led the way along the way.

The cavalry followed closely behind.

On the march of the Sakata Regiment, not far away, Duan Peng and his men were lying in the grass, looking over with binoculars.

"There are quite a lot of Japanese devils." Duan Peng pulled out a piece of dogtail grass and bit it in his mouth.

"Company commander, there are about 3,800 Japanese devils in this group." said a soldier from the guard company nearby.

"Have you counted them, kid?"
