Chapter 102: Attacking Pingding County

The Japanese puppet army was planning to capture Nanzhuang Village, and the peripheral troops had already begun to aim at the Japanese headquarters and artillery positions.

The county brigade gathered the main force to make the final resistance in Nanzhuang Village, and this big battle was already on the verge of breaking out.

Pingding County is still very quiet here, Wang Mazi originally wanted to follow Suzuki Kenji to Nanzhuang Village, but halfway, Suzuki Kenji thought about it carefully, and he sent Wang Mazi back to Pingding County.

At this time, Pingding County only had more than half of the casualties of the second brigade stationed, Suzuki Kenji was very uneasy, he transferred Wang Mazi back to let Wang Mazi assist in garrisoning Pingding County.

After all, Wang Mazi is Chinese, and he can do many things that Japanese soldiers can't.

Wang Mazi is a ruffian and hooligan, he knows how to observe words and feelings, at this time Wang Mazi has been talking and laughing with the captain of the second brigade, and the two of them are like long-lost brothers.

"Taijun, the flower girls here in Pingding County have gone to the countryside, and after the Suzuki Taijun battle, I will take you to the countryside, where there are many flower girls, and there are a lot of gold and silver treasures." Wang Mazi said with a flattering face.

"Mixi, Wang Sang, you are really the best friend of the Japanese Imperial Army, and you have a great conscience." Captain Shaozuo said with admiration on his face, and he patted Wang Mazi on the shoulder.

Wang Mazi smiled, his face was full of smug expression, he felt that with the Japanese to rely on, he could do whatever he wanted in Pingding County.

Before, he was just currying favor with Ito Hui, but Ito Hui was just a captain squadron leader, and Ito Hui has now begun to be responsible for guarding the munitions depot, according to Wang Mazi's judgment, Ito Hui may not end well.

Wang Mazi actively curryed favor with Captain Shaozuo, and he hoped to use this opportunity to promote his position.

However, Wang Mazi had not yet said his true goal, and a Japanese second lieutenant hurriedly came to the captain of Shaozuo.

"Captain, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army were found outside the city, there are more than 3,000 people in this Eighth Route Army, they have begun to set up artillery, according to the situation, they seem to want to attack Pingding County, and according to my observation, this Eighth Route Army should be a regular army."

The second lieutenant came to the front of the captain of Shaozuo, he looked at the captain of Shaozuo, and said with a solemn face.

Wang Mazi was able to barely understand some Japanese, he heard the Eighth Route Army and more than 3,000 people, and he realized that the Eighth Route Army was very likely to have come to Pingding County.

"The regular troops of the Eighth Route Army, which must be the troops of the 129th Division, immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time immediately sent a telegram to the Wing Headquarters and the 79th Wing to report our situation here, we have not been able to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army, this time they sent it to the door by themselves, hum."

Captain Shao Zuo didn't show much panic, but he also showed a happy expression on his face.

The 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army was responsible for encircling and suppressing the troops of the 129th Division, but the troops of the 129th Division had already jumped to the periphery, making it impossible for the Japanese to find them at all.

Now the main force of the Eighth Route Army has appeared in Pingding County, which makes Captain Shaozuo very happy, and he feels that this is an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

He felt that with the current strength of his troops, there would be no difficulty in holding Pingding County.

It's just that Captain Shaozuo didn't know that it was the troops of the 386 Brigade who came to Pingding County.

After Brigade Commander Chen received Sun Weiguo's telegram, he immediately sent troops of the 772nd Regiment to Pingding County, posing a threat to Pingding County.

The 772nd Regiment came to Pingding County after dawn after the overnight march, and the 772nd Regiment Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Wang were both tiger generals, and after some discussion, the two decided to attack Pingding County, and the mortars of the 772nd Regiment began to be erected, and light and heavy machine guns were also deployed.

With Commander Ye giving the order to attack, the fighters of the 772nd Regiment began a fierce attack under the cover of artillery and light and heavy machine guns.

Pingding County is already in the midst of war, and the 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army in Shouyang County is the regimental headquarters.

When Yamashita learned that a large number of regular main forces of the Eighth Route Army had appeared on the outskirts of Pingding County, he immediately came to the map.

Looking at the map of Pingding County, Yamashita Fengwen had an excited expression on his face, and he began to deploy.

"Order the defenders of Pingding County to hold back the main force of the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time ask the 80th Wing to quickly solve the enemy in Nanzhuang Village, and after annihilating the enemy in Nanzhuang Village, the 80th Wing will immediately return to Pingding County. Immediately send a telegram to the 79th Wing, so that they can quickly move towards Pingding County, and this time they must completely annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army that appeared in Pingding County. Yamashita gave the order.

The staff officers on the side immediately saluted and began to use the radio to relay orders.

"Chief of Staff, what the hell is going on with the 80th Wing, they have so many troops for so long that they can't even encircle and annihilate the Tuba Road in Nanzhuang Village, Kenji Suzuki simply disappoints me." Seeing the staff officer passing the order, Yamashita looked at the map.

Seeing the location of Nanzhuang Village in Pingding County on the map, Yamashita Fengwen's face became embarrassed.

He was assigned to two infantry squadrons of the 80th Wing, an artillery brigade, and a Mongolian cavalry division, which was a full force of nearly 3,000 Japanese puppet troops.

However, several hours have passed, and there is still no news from the 80th Wing, but Pingding County has been attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which makes Yamashita Fengwen very angry.

The battle of the 80th Wing disappointed him, and if it weren't for Kenji Suzuki's previous exploits, I'm afraid Yamashita would have been furious.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, the Tuba Road in Nanzhuang Village is commanded by Sun Weiguo, this Sun Weiguo obviously has some ability, judging from the current situation, it will definitely take some time for the 80th Wing to completely annihilate them." The chief of staff said hurriedly.

"Immediately send a telegram to the 80th Wing and ask them when they will be able to completely annihilate Tuba Road in Nanzhuang Village." Yamashita said unhappily.

The sun rises high, and a golden glow shines on the ground.

After several hours of fierce fighting, the vicinity of Nanzhuang Village was filled with gunsmoke and the smell of blood.

Whether it is the Japanese puppet army or the soldiers of the county brigade, they are already very tired, especially the soldiers of the county brigade, they are even more tired, but what makes Sun Weiguo relieved is that these recruits finally have no big problems.

The firing of the Japanese artillery brigade had stopped, and more than 600 puppet cavalry began to whip the horses, and as the horses galloped, the cavalrymen began to shout, and their faces showed excited expressions.

In the eyes of these puppet cavalry, it was very easy to enter Nanzhuang Village, and they thought that the soldiers of the county brigade might have fled a long time ago, but they would not know that the second-line position had prepared a rich "meeting gift" for them.
