Anti-Japanese War: My strategist joins the game and awakens the small map!

Chapter 171 Ping'an County Covered by Artillery Fire

Ping'an County, Pinxian Pavilion.

Several pavilions and terraces are connected to each other with flying eaves and painted corners. The four-story building overlooks most of Ping'an County with excellent scenery. It has always been a place where tourists from Ping'an County go to climb up and drink. When the wind comes, it seems unusually peaceful.

But today, in Pinxian Building, in the elegant pavilion on the third floor, a group of Japanese soldiers in military uniforms were having a banquet here.

"I didn't expect Ping Lu Yongfu to come up empty-handed this time. If I had known it was such a simple mission, I would have gone for it. These people only dared to attack where we were vulnerable."

At the wine table, a mocking voice came from the martial artist on the shore.

His words also drew laughter from the Japanese officers drinking with him at the table.

All those who can be here are close confidants of Kishibe Yuta.

Many Japanese officers nodded in agreement at the words of Wu Xiu on the shore. They had fought a war on the land beneath their feet for a long time. In the past wars, they had not only the advantage of equipment but also various advantages such as military literacy when fighting against the enemy.

In their view, the encirclement of Taigu County must have been planned for a long time, and many people were mobilized to capture it, which could be seen from the blocking battles in various places.

"How could these Chinese fight? Apart from engaging in guerrilla warfare, there's no way they could possibly fight us head-on. They're still talking about fighting to the death in Taigu County. I guess they saw our mechanized troops passing by and fled."

"But it's okay. The louder they yelled, the bigger the blow to their confidence."

"After this battle, the situation in northwest Shanxi became clear. Taking over northwest Shanxi was only a matter of time. Those who issued a declaration of war to us have now become the object of ridicule by the world."

After the martial artist on the shore finished speaking, a group of Japanese soldiers at the table immediately echoed him, and the laughter never stopped from the beginning.

This time, the war of public opinion was a complete and crushing victory, and the effect was obvious as soon as the report came out.

Not only did the commander-in-chief of the North China region personally present a commendation, but the three northeastern provinces also sent congratulatory messages. This battle not only made them famous, but also allowed them to recapture Taigu County without any effort.

While everyone was talking, Anbian Xiongtian, who was sitting in front of everyone, stood up.

"No matter what they declare, Taikoo County is back in our hands."

"I remember there's an old saying here, 'Conquer the enemy without fighting.' We can use this to spread the majesty of the empire throughout northwest Shanxi. The more powerful that team boasted before, the more humiliating their defeat will be this time."

Kishibe Yuta sat in the center, looking at everyone and speaking in a serious tone.

Although he was a little surprised that the battle was in vain, and even frowned for a long time, he heard from various strongholds that they had not discovered this team.

When this team is not discovered, the process becomes less important, as long as the result is in his favor.

What Kishibe Yuta needs now is to create momentum, not only for his enemies, but more importantly to let the people above see that he came from the three northeastern provinces with the foundation and reputation of the Kwantung Army, and came here to achieve great things.

When the clear telegram requesting war came from Taikoo County, Kishibe Yuta was extremely angry.

But on second thought, he could use this incident to further expand the matter.

Because Taigu County must be captured, although there may be ambushes along the way, they are nothing worth mentioning in front of their mechanized troops.

He could also make use of Taigu County to make another move, and everything was developing in the direction he expected.

Just as Kishibe Yuta was saying something, a Japanese soldier walked into the private room with his back bowed respectfully.

"Major General, the latest intelligence is that the Eighth Route Army's various bases underwent a large-scale mobilization this morning. According to the intelligence we received, they are heading towards Ping'an County. The mobilization was extremely rapid..."

Kishibe Yuta was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something.

"Major General, what happened?" Wu Xiu on the shore asked worriedly.

Kishibe Yuta ignored it, his bloodshot eyes became gloomy because he thought of a possibility.

"Quick!! Map!"

Kishibe Yuta said loudly.

There was no map on the table, but a Japanese soldier standing at the door immediately came in from outside, bent over, and took out a map from his bag.

Yuta Kishibe pushed all the plates on the table away at once, clanging sounds were heard from time to time, and the map was spread out.

His eyes instantly fell on Taigu County.

After the battle of Luokuipo, at Erdaohezi, the small temple of Shiwuli...one battle after another kept appearing in Xiongtian's mind on the shore.

Without exception, these ambushes were fought around the transportation lines of Ping'an County.

They even sent out fake transport teams to eliminate the harassment on these roads, but the effect was minimal.

Until the fall of Taikoo County...

This threat exists in the rear, Taigu County radiates a large area of ​​strongholds and transportation lines.

Mechanized troops were sent there, and a brigade was dispatched directly to wipe out this team in Taigu County and stabilize the situation in the rear.

But the entire team that was able to capture Taigu County disappeared for no reason behind them. Before, he only thought that he had seen his direct mechanized troops, which had 18 tanks, fleeing at the sight of them.

But now it seemed as if he had suddenly understood the other party's plan, as if he had cleared away layers of fog.

"That team might have reached the vicinity of Ping'an County?"

"Impossible... Impossible. How could they possibly have such a commander? Their goal has been this place from the very beginning, and it hasn't changed... We've been maintaining intensive surveillance, but how do they communicate? How did they manage to keep all the information from leaking across such a large area? How on earth did they manage to coordinate a force of tens of thousands of people without any communication..."

The more Kishibe Yuta thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his gaze gradually fell on his own location.

Ping'an County!

Perhaps the enemy's target has not changed from the beginning, and it has always been Ping'an County, not Taigu County behind them.

"Those plain text telegrams were not sent entirely to us, they were also sent to the Eighth Route Army..." When Kishibe Yuta thought about it, he felt that many things became clear to him.

This last plaintext telegram was the signal to attack Ping'an County.

When he thought of this, his scalp instantly felt numb, because he knew very well that the more thoughts in his mind at this moment, the more he realized how serious the crisis in Ping'an County was.

Because what he is thinking now may happen at any time.

The head that was a little dizzy from the alcohol just now immediately sobered up a lot and shouted loudly to the Japanese officer beside him:

"Gather the troops, assemble the troops immediately..."

Before Kishibe Yuta could finish his words, a rapid and dense whistling sound was heard in the sky.

call out!call out!call out!

Just a moment later, explosions sounded in front of Ping'an County.

The dense explosions made the Japanese officers here think they had heard it wrong.

Even some of their teams don't have this kind of firepower.

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect His Excellency the Major General and evacuate!"

"gather...."

Voices rang out from the attic, but the explosions seemed to drown out their shouts.

After a round of bombing, bursts of whistling quickly arose again. The sound was not very orderly. The shells seemed to fall for free, and strong flames were everywhere.

Ever since the artillery fire started, there was no sign of stopping. It was obvious that they were covered by artillery fire, and there were at least twenty or thirty guns.

But suddenly, the Japanese heard a louder explosion coming from the main gate of Ping'an County.

In an instant, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and the sounds of fighting gradually approached from afar. Not only at the main gate, but also in other places in Ping'an County, the fighting had already started at this time.

"Cavalry Company, charge!"

Sun Desheng approached the city gate with extremely fast maneuverability.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was only their cavalry company. Sun Desheng now increasingly understood what the regiment commander meant by blitzkrieg.

Maximizing speed not only reduces casualties but also defeats the enemy.

Just as the city gate was blown open with a loud bang, Sun Desheng had just mounted his horse when the people of the first battalion were already sticking to the city wall.

"Changsheng, raise the flag! Attack the city!"

As Wang Jiantang finished speaking, a black and white flag fluttered under the gate of Ping'an County.

The shouting even drowned out the sound of gunfire, causing some ice chips on the city wall to fall off.

"Destroy all the defeated troops in the city! Don't let Captain Sun's hard work in blowing open the city gate go to waste. Xiao Hai, take the sharpshooters and occupy the high ground."

Li Weiguo's face flushed, and what he held in his hand was not a spear, but a crooked-handled rifle.

Because there were soldiers all in front of him, Li Weiguo could only raise the muzzle of his gun. After gathering his full momentum, he led the people of the second battalion directly into Ping'an County.

"Kill! Immediately move towards the warehouse and take control of it! Soldiers who have fallen behind, return and train twice as hard."

Ding Jiaguo's voice was full of determination, and he immediately led the third battalion towards the mission he had to complete.

The entire regiment launched a collective charge for the first time. After the city gate was breached, Sun Desheng looked at the three battalions rushing into the city gate and reacted immediately.

"What are you still looking at! Don't you have any feet without your horses? Follow me! Tell the soldiers of the three battalions that our cavalry company can run faster than them even if we dismount." Sun Desheng shouted angrily at the cavalry company.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Desheng dismounted first and charged forward between the first and second battalions.

As the war broke out, the artillery shells never stopped. Before the Japanese could get up, shells fell on their resting places.

A huge shock wave spread out in all directions with the point where the shell landed as the center. Explosions sounded, wailing sounds were heard, and flames began to spread.

Ping'an County, which had just been calm, was filled with gunfire the next moment.

At this moment, the shops had closed early and the streets were deserted, but the three people had a clear division of labor. The people from the first battalion had already rushed into the streets and began to set up an encirclement according to the instructions of Lin Tianchen.

That’s right, surround the Japanese in Ping’an County.

Except for a few sharpshooters who stayed at the high point occupied by the Third Battalion, the Second Battalion began to capture bunkers, towers and destroyed Japanese positions along the city wall. After taking these places, they began to set up firepower points again.

The third battalion was mainly responsible for attacking the warehouse in the first place and completing the control of the warehouse.

The entire Ping'an County has been engulfed in a battle.

On a street, Chen Qiang hid in the corner and threw a grenade with all his strength. After the sound, he appeared in a half-crouching position and quickly pulled the trigger.

Two gunshots were heard, and two Japanese soldiers hiding on the street fell down instantly.

As Chen Qiang watched the two Japanese soldiers wailing with their legs injured in the explosion, he slowly raised his gun and shot each of them in the collarbone before finally shooting again.

"Brother, you have great marksmanship. Didn't the battalion commander say that we should attack with comrades? Why are you alone?" Monk Wei walked out of the alley with two guns. He had seen everything that happened just now.

"We are also from the same battalion, so don't be left alone. There are always two of us, and now we have three." Although Liu Sangun looked like a gangster, he always had a smile on his face when he spoke.

And while speaking, he was always alert to his surroundings.

Chen Qiang looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in the alley. He had not noticed them at all before, especially the man with several scars on his head, who made no sound of footsteps when he appeared.

But the military uniforms of these two men and the words they just said made Chen Qiang agree without any hesitation.

"it is good."
