Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, especially Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, who immediately said solemnly: "Commander, this Pinglu City has Shuobei Xiongcheng, known as the natural danger outside the fortress, and it is a strong city. According to the information we have received, there are only more than 100 Japanese defenders in Pinglu City. Now that the main force of Qian Bojun's rebels is secretly stationed in Pinglu City, relying on the fortified city to hold on, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to capture Pinglu. ”。

"Then Lao Zhang, what do you mean, give up attacking Pinglu?" He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion on the side, said in a condensed voice.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said, "No, we are less than eight minutes away from Pinglu City right now. It's impossible to give up at this time, it's a pity. What's more, the troops marched south to Pinglu, and the goal of the battle was to capture Pinglu and enter Hongtao Mountain to temporarily take recuperation! It's just that things have changed, and I thought there were too many enemy troops in Pinglu City! I'm afraid it's going to be a scorching battle! ”。

At this time, Li Yunlong had already asked Wei Dayong and Monk Wei to spread out the military map he carried on the ground, and after signaling everyone to squat down and gather around, he pointed to the map and said: "At present, we have advanced to the distance of less than eight minutes north of Pinglu City, and I believe that the enemy army in the city has already known that our army is moving south. Otherwise, how could the main force of the rebels of Qian Bojun's army go north from Lijia Town to Pinglu to defend the city? ”。

"Regiment commander, do you mean that our action to go south to Pinglu has been detected by the Japanese army?" Zhang Dabiao and others said in unison.

Li Yunlong nodded with a solemn face and said: "Nine times out of ten, it has been detected by the Japanese army, and now the main force of Itagaki Seishiro has begun to retreat from Fengzhen, and the Japanese army pursuing in the direction of Liangcheng has turned back to the south and chased from the side of Killing Tiger's Mouth." It is estimated that Seishiro Itagaki already knows the news that the tiger's mouth is being killed and the right jade castle is attacked by us. ”。

"Commander, then you mean that we still attack Pinglu according to the original plan? However, there are nearly 2,000 rebels in the city, the main force of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and more than 100 Japanese defenders, which is already more than 2,000 Japanese puppet enemy troops. Moreover, the main force of Qian Bojun's rebels is Chu Yunfei's main battalion, and it also has an artillery battalion, which is not weaker than our department! ”

Zhang Dabiao said worriedly, there are only more than 900 people on his side at the moment, although the combat effectiveness is awesome. But the main force of the rebels of the Jin Sui Army who couldn't resist the sudden entry into Pinglu was also large, and the combat effectiveness of the key rebels was also very good!

Li Yunlong said with a sneer: "Although according to top-secret intelligence, Qian Bojun's department claims to be Chu Yunfei's main reinforcement battalion, with an establishment of more than 2,000 people, and an artillery battalion, which is strong!" But judging from the information obtained so far, Qian Bojun launched a rebellion in a hurry, and I believe that most of the soldiers of Chu Yunfei's 1st Battalion of the Jin Sui Army will not willingly defect to the little devils. I decided that the troops should march to the foot of Pinglu City, and take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the enemy army has not yet completed their preparations to defend the city, and storm Pinglu City! ”。

"Okay, Commander, you are the Commander, brothers listen to you!" When everyone heard this, it seemed that this was the same reason, so they nodded in agreement.

Unanimating opinions, Li Yunlong got up and waved his hand to signal everyone to go back and command the troops to speed up the march and gallop towards Pinglu City.

Dividing Line***********

In Pinglu City, the main force of the rebel army of Qian Bojun's army, which secretly entered Pinglu City at least seven minutes before Li Yunlong's department, is now a regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, under the command of Qian Bojun, from Pinglu South City into the city.

Pinglu City is a fortified city in the northwest of Shanxi Province and has been an important town in the north since ancient times. It is located between the inner and outer Great Wall, and its strategic location is very important.

After the Japanese army invaded and occupied most of Shanxi, it divided its troops to guard many important strategic points. Pinglu City was no exception, but the Japanese army continued to move south, fighting fiercely with the main force of the Nationalist Army in the southern region, so the elite units of the Japanese army in Shanxi were constantly drawn south.

In this way, at this time, there were only more than 100 Japanese troops left in Pinglu City.

However, now that there are about 2,000 troops of the main force of the rebels of Qian Bojun's army entering the city to assist in the defense, in the face of the new regiment under the command of Li Yunlong, who is about to arrive at Pinglu City, Captain Sakaguchi Nobo, the squadron leader of the 3rd Squadron under the 33rd Brigade of the 33rd Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army in the city, and the 5th Infantry Brigade of the 63rd Wing, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yunlong stirred up the Japanese army chickens and dogs in various parts of Shanxi, especially in the north of Taiyuan, and as Sakaguchi Wang, he was not unaware of Li Yunlong's ability.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, according to the report of the mobile post outside the city, an elite Eighth Route Army unit has been spotted on the Wuli Mountain Road north of the city on a rapid march south. It is estimated that there are less than three minutes to get to the city of Beicheng! On the gate building of the northern city, the footsteps behind Sakaguchi Wang rushed quickly, and soon Sakaguchi Wang's henchman adjutant, Lieutenant Hirao Yuki, whispered to Sakaguchi Wang with a solemn face.

Sakaguchi Wang's face sank when he heard this, it should be Li Yunlong's troops.

"How many people are on the other side?" Nozomi Sakaguchi asked.

Hirao Yuhui said: "According to the report of the reconnaissance team outside the city, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is at least about 1,000 people. Moreover, observing the rapid march of the enemy's troops, it is still maintaining a combat posture during the march, and it is definitely an elite unit. In addition, the reconnaissance team found that there was an artillery unit in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army! I'm afraid that there are more than five mortars, and the artillery fire strength will probably be very strong. ”。

"Yaga! Ordered Qian Bojun's troops to transfer more than 1,000 people out of Beicheng to garrison the field battle to resist Li Yunlong's attack from outside Beicheng. The rest of the Imperial Army's men and horses will disperse the rest of the Dongcheng and other gates to defend! Immediately report to the commander of the Itagaki Division about our situation here, a fierce battle is already on the verge of breaking out. Sakaguchi said with a wave of his hand.

Hirao Yuhui immediately said: "Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, obey your orders!" ”。

Soon, Qian Bojun, who was secretly stationed in Pinglu City, received an order from Sakaguchi Wang, and transferred half of the main force of the rebels out of Beicheng to defend the position outside the city.

The helpless Qian Bojun could only obey the orders of the princes, transferred half of the rebel troops, and under the supervision and supervision of several Japanese officers, went out of the northern city, relying on the trenches dug outside the city when the Jin Sui army defended Pinglu City in the past, and prepared to meet the troops commanded by Li Yunlong.

Leading the rebel team that went out of the city was Qian Bojun's deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui. This guy is also a hardcore traitor, but he didn't expect that after taking refuge in the little devil, he would have to fight with the elite troops commanded by Li Yunlong, and he was very bitter for a while.

After all, he Zhang Fugui still knows Li Yunlong's toughness.

At this time, Li Yunlong commanded Zhang Dabiao and others, and after leading his troops to march for seven or eight minutes, they finally rushed to the city of Pinglu Beicheng less than a few minutes after the puppet army left the northern city to defend the trenches!

"Made, this Qian Bojun's rebels really don't know whether to live or die, and dare to go out of the city to be cannon fodder for the little devils? What a bunch of fools! Li Yunlong looked at the rebel position of the Jin Sui Army outside the city of Beicheng and sneered.
