One of the must-pass roads in Ping'an County is the Shiwuli Small Temple.

Among a group of fast-running people, Ding Wei, panting, ran quickly to Kong Jie's side.

"Damn, I didn't realize you were so agile. Your New Second Regiment will be stationed here. Let's go to the front."

As he spoke, Ding Wei paused slightly. Kong Jie did not stop at all along the way, and he could clearly see from the soldiers of the New Second Regiment that the New Second Regiment had really put a lot of effort into rapid maneuvering.

No one in the entire regiment fell behind from beginning to end, and many soldiers ran with weapons and loads, which made him look at them with new eyes after three days of absence.

"Okay." Kong Jie stopped and waved to Xie Yulin. The latter understood and immediately ran to his side and unfolded a map.

Kong Jie looked at the map, as if he thought of something, and looked up at Ding Wei who was walking away.

"Lao Ding, remember to retreat if you can't hold on any longer. We, the New Second Regiment, are no pushovers." Kong Jie looked very serious.

During the entire blocking battle, the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment were divided into two phases. Ding Wei explained the analysis clearly before the order was issued.

At first, Kong Jie was a little skeptical, but when the order came from the headquarters, it really was to let their two regiments launch a blocking attack at the Shiwuli Temple.

All of Ding Wei's guesses were verified, which meant that Captain Lin might really lead his troops to attack Ping'an County.

"I know how to fight, but don't be impatient and bring your troops here. I've made it clear to you that the Japanese may have mechanized troops coming to reinforce them this time. If a fight breaks out, when the New 1st Regiment retreats, it will be your turn to blow up the bridge and block the attack."

Ding Wei's words were very calm. After all, when he learned that Lin Tianchen had captured Taigu County and the Japanese began to send reinforcements, he felt something was wrong.

As soon as Lin Tianchen sent out his request for battle, Ding Wei almost laughed out loud, because he knew that Lin Tianchen was most likely going to attack Ping'an County. At that time, he began to observe the fifteen small temples, looking for favorable terrain and places where he could launch an ambush.

As it turned out, his speculation was not wrong. Lin Tianchen was estimated to be on the road to Ping'an County.

"Take care." Kong Jie saluted and said nothing more.

"You too."

Ding Wei also straightened his body and saluted, then led the team forward.

The communication was brief, but this was the norm between them, because before any battle, they could not guarantee whether they could survive.

It can be said that for them, every separation can be regarded as a farewell, not to mention that the intensity of this blocking battle is very high.

......

...

At the same time, on a mountain road five kilometers outside Ping'an County.

On the mountainside, a figure stood on the sunny side of the hillside, holding a telescope in his hand and looking at the city gate tower in the distance.

Until Zhao Gang walked up to him and said, "Old Li, the scouts ahead reported back that they've spotted Captain Lin's men on the other side of the mountain. They're definitely in place."

Zhao Gang's tone was a little shocked. After all, he had been traveling non-stop all the way because they were very familiar with this area. However, Lin Tianchen arrived at the same time as them in the enemy's rear, under the Japanese blockade.

You have to know that this is not just one person, but a whole regiment of more than 2000 people. Zhao Gang was worried before that if only their independent regiment and the 772nd regiment were to fight for Ping'an County, how many soldiers would have to die.

After all, before Lin Tianchen was discovered, the headquarters began to mobilize them, and the entire base team began to mobilize, to surround Ping'an County, and to carry out blocking operations and so on.

But who can guarantee that Lin Tianchen will really use Taigu County to attack Ping'an County?

If something goes wrong, the approximate locations of some troop deployment areas in the entire base will be exposed to the Japanese.

"That damn Captain Lin is really awesome! He directly mobilized all the enemy and our troops in northwest Shanxi."

Li Yunlong put down the telescope, frowned and looked at Ping'an County in the distance. He had not slept well since Lin Tianchen disappeared.

He would either receive an order to conduct a blocking attack or a mission to attack the Japanese transport convoys. Sometimes he was even asked to lead a team to blow up the railway.

He became just like an errand boy, and Lin Tianchen's special errand boy.

Now he has finally waited for a tough battle. He trains his soldiers for a thousand days and uses them for a moment.

If we can capture Ping'an County, the spring offensive will be a complete joke. If we can capture Kishibe Yuta, the headquarters has already said that it will be sent to the headquarters as soon as possible.

"Old Li, Ping'an County originally had a 4th Brigade of Pinglu Yongfu troops. The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment and the mechanized unit from Yuancheng have gone to Taigu County. This mechanized unit is directly under Kishibe Yuta from the three northeastern provinces. Ping'an County also has two infantry battalions directly under Kishibe Yuta, with a preliminary estimate of over 3,000 men."

"We have two regiments, the district militia battalion, and Captain Lin's two thousand men, so we only have about five or six thousand men at most. If we mobilize, the Japanese will definitely react. If the siege takes too long, we will probably have to wait for their support. So we have to fight quickly. Once the battle starts, you have to think of more tricks to minimize casualties."

There was worry in Zhao Gang's words. Taking over Ping'an County was crucial to them and the entire situation in northwest Shanxi.

But precisely because of this, even though Taiko County fell and Commander Lin was so provocative, Kishibe Yuta still only sent other brigades to the area, and his two direct infantry battalions were never transferred and remained by his side.

"We have to eat even if we can't. It's come to this. We have to take over Ping'an County and let them keep saying they'll take over northwest Shanxi in three months. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe Captain Lin. Think about it, Anbian Xiongtian has a total of six regular troops, and Captain Lin has already cut down three of them. If he destroys the two troops in Ping'an County, he will only have the mechanized troops left... If the mechanized troops are destroyed, Anbian Xiongtian will be a bachelor commander."

Li Yunlong said this seriously, but when Zhao Gang heard his last sentence, his expression immediately changed slightly.

Li Yunlong noticed the change in Zhao Gang and was about to start cursing when Wang Kuixi's voice suddenly came, which instantly shocked him.

"Captain, they seem to be about to attack."

Li Yunlong became even more serious.

"Everyone, get ready."

Li Yunlong knew very well what Lin Tianchen's appearance as scheduled meant. The war could start at any time.

After all, this battle must be quick.
