Chapter 64: Itagawa Seishiro's Depression
Although the voice of the signal soldier was very small, Li Ping came to his senses for the first time, sat up and put on his shoes and came to the political commissar, who handed the telegram to Li Ping after reading it.
"Brigade commander, the county town has been breached, and the troops are clearing up, so it seems that we are one step ahead of the devils, and this step is fatal enough."
After the political commissar finished speaking, his face was excited, Li Ping put down the telegram in his hand, and the smile on his face became more and more.
If the three points are broken through, the independent brigade will have a great advantage, and the troops in the county town can support the remaining two points at any time, and no matter where these troops flock to, the battlefield advantage of the independent brigade will be brought into full play.
Thinking of this, Li Ping turned his head to the signal corps and said: "Send a telegram to the troops in the county seat, be sure to withdraw from the county seat before dawn, if the devils know that we have broken through the county seat, they will definitely send planes to bomb them." ”
After speaking, he continued to the political commissar: "Political commissar, you send the militia from our base area to the direction of the county seat, transport the wounded soldiers and supplies, and release the main force, except for the materials they should replenish, you will take over the rest." ”
"Yes, Brigadier."
The commissar turned around and left with the signal corps, and Li Ping picked up his gun and came to the position with the guards and soldiers.
"Brigade commander, did we order the troops to rest for a while, the soldiers are too tired." As soon as Li Ping walked to the trench, a regiment commander came over and suggested.
"No, order the soldiers not to stop, and tell the brothers that the county seat of Pingxian County has been taken by us, and we will have support soon."
"Yes, Brigadier." After listening to Li Ping's words, the regiment commander turned around and ran to his defense area, he could also judge Li Ping's intentions, the county seat was taken, and the morale of the devils who stayed here would be three points weaker.
When the soldiers learned that the county seat had been taken, everyone became more energetic, and the attack intensified a lot.
The intensity of the eight-way attack increased, and Itakami Seishiro could only smile bitterly and be shocked, and the farewell telegram from the county seat had been placed on the table by him.
Listening to the gunfire outside, Itakami Seishiro looked at the map, he and the independent brigade of the three battlefields, the county has been taken, the back road has been cut off, the transport troops may not be able to hold out for long, the only breakthrough point is their own here, as long as they hold on until tomorrow, the materials are airdropped, and they are still sure to break out.
With nervousness and anticipation, Itakami Seishiro just wanted to get out of the tent, and the adjutant came over with an anxious face: "Division commander, with the help of tank attacks, the Eighth Route wants to divide our defense area. ”
"Baga, order the troops to retreat while fighting, and we can't let the Eighth Route divide our positions, otherwise it will be useless for us to hold out until dawn." , Itakami Seishiro was very anxious, he was already short of ammunition, and then he was divided by the Eighth Road, and let the Eighth Road eat it one bite at a time, and his strength advantage would soon become weak.
Itakami Seishiro came to the position with the adjutant, and Li Ping on the other side also observed the latest movements of the devil.
"Brigade commander, this old devil is really quick to react, you see that their troops are retreating and concentrated."
Li Ping frowned when he saw it, and sure enough, Itakami Seishiro would not let himself get his wish, looking at the troops who were picked up by the devils, Li Ping had no choice but to order the troops to continue to compress the devil's position.
The two sides persevered in this dark night, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Itagawa Seishiro's mood began to improve, looking up at the sky, he had never looked forward to the dawn so much that day.
Li Ping also looked at the sky, and sighed secretly in his heart, he still didn't take it, and when the devil was airdropped, he had to fight.
"Order the troops, be careful of the bombardment of the devils, let the soldiers get close to the positions of the devils, and intersect with the devils."
Li Ping ordered the troops to continue the offensive and return to the command headquarters himself, he wanted to know the latest situation.
"The brigade commander, the commissar telegraphed, the troops have withdrawn from the county seat, and the commissar is already halfway to meet them."
Li Ping picked up the telegram and thought about it carefully, the troops withdrawn from these counties are the new force, so why should they join that battlefield?
Li Ping was very hesitant, the devil's airdrop was coming soon, and the pressure on his side would increase a lot, and if he was not careful, the devil would fight back.
The chief of staff can't be unguarded, if the devil's cavalry breaks through, it will bring a devastating blow.
The chief of staff on the other side of Li Ping's psychology also guessed, he looked at the devils who were blocked by himself in a range, looked at the defense line that had been planted with mines, turned his head to the signal corps, and said: "Send a telegram to the brigade commander, just say that my current troops are completely capable of taking down the devils here, and suggest that the troops withdrawn from the county town support in the direction of the brigade commander." ”
After receiving the telegram from the chief of staff, Li Ping laughed and sent a telegram directly to the political commissar, asking the troops to come over.
Itakami Seishiro's Fifth Division was in critical condition, and the devils in North China immediately ordered the Air Force planes to come over to airdrop and support, if the Fifth Division was taken by the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, it would really become a joke for the Empire.
Li Ping didn't know what the devil was in his heart, and after he came to the position, he ordered the troops to light bonfires everywhere, and the smoke was filled, and the sky began to be enveloped.
Itakami Seishiro looked at the dusty position, and his face turned dark: "Baga, Balu is too cunning, send a telegram to the Air Force and ask them to put the supplies accurately." ”
Seishiro Itagawa ordered his troops to raise flags and light bright bonfires so that the Air Force could see more accurately.
The devil's air force soon arrived, and in addition to the airdropped planes, a group of bombers came first.
Looking at the smoky sky, looking at the troops fighting underground, the bombing troops looked helpless, they could not accurately drop bombs in such a close position.
"Baga, bomb the surrounding area and weaken the strength of the Eighth Road." , The devil who had no choice had to let the plane bomb the periphery, and the scope of the explosion made Itakami Seishiro full of black lines.
"Baga, these stupid pigs of the Air Force are wasting ammunition, what a waste." , Itakami Seishiro, who complained loudly, made several wing commanders look at each other, and in this case, the Air Force has no way to do it.
After the bombing was over, the airdropped planes began to drop, boxes of supplies slowly fell from the sky, and the troops underground looked up at the sky.
"Order the troops, attack where the supplies fell, and rob the devil's supplies."
Li Ping gave an order, and the soldiers reacted quickly, looking at the attacking Eighth Route Army, Itakami Seishiro also ordered the troops to attack, and both sides were competing for the materials that fell.
Half an hour later, the devil's plane had already left, the gunfire in the position had stopped, and Seishiro Itakami waited with a dark face for the adjutant's statistics.
"Division commander, only half of the supplies fell into our hands, and the rest were taken by the Eighth Road."
Several co-captains almost fell down when they heard this, and Itakami Seishiro also felt that his legs were weak, and now, it is impossible to fight an eight-way counterattack, and there is only one way to break through.
"Order the troops, gather the supplies, and we are ready to break through."
"Hi"
Itakami Seishiro looked lonely, and the prestige of the Fifth Division will be shattered by the Eighth Route today, and I am afraid that it will become a joke of the empire from now on.
Itan Huan Seishiro's loneliness Li Ping didn't know, he looked at the materials that fell into the hands of his troops, and knew if he could block the devil, so he looked at how strong Itan Huan Seishiro's three-plate axe was.
