Li Yunlong made up his mind and did not hesitate any longer.
It was at this point in Pingxiang that something suddenly emerged from the numerous raids, attracting the attention of all parties. The Japanese army even dispatched reinforcements from Qu County and Xiaoan Town to support Pingxiang on the way.
Li Yunlong gave an order, and the main force of the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment suddenly launched a fierce attack on Xiao'an Town.
The military action at this point caused quite a stir.
The first person whose judgment was disturbed was the Japanese command.
Yoshio Shinozuka originally thought that the Eighth Route Army's sudden attack on towns like Pingxiang was a bit crazy. In fact, the credibility was not high. Perhaps the Eighth Route Army wanted to divert the attention of the Imperial Army by attacking towns and indirectly cover the vicinity of the Shota Railway transportation line. attack operation.
Therefore, although Yoshio Shinozuka was also paying attention to the battle situation in Heixiang, his actual focus was still on the Eighth Route Army who was conducting a raid.
But who would have thought that just when the Japanese army thought that the Eighth Route Army was capable of attacking Pingxiang to support the attack, Xiao'an Town was suddenly attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
According to communication messages sent back from the Japanese military headquarters in Xiao'an Town.
The attacking Eighth Route Army's firepower was fierce and it looked like it was going to take down Xiao'an Town. It couldn't be faked.
Judging from the strength, firepower configuration and offensive, it is definitely the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army.
At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio also had some doubts about his previous judgment. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army did not want to indirectly cover the attack by attacking towns, but was preparing to attack towns and even regain lost territory?
Also, which team attacked Pingxiang and Xiaoan Town? Why so rampant?
Qu County, Xiao'an Town, and Pingxiang, these three points form an angle with each other, forming a stable triangular defense system. According to Shinozuka Yoshio's original calculation, with these three points cooperating for garrison, according to the main force of the Eighth Route Army Given the size and firepower of the group, even two main groups may not be able to defeat them.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army had assembled two main regiments in front of them, preparing to attack Pingxiang and Xiaoan Town in one fell swoop?
When Yoshio Shinozuka was confused, news suddenly came from Heixo:
Although the Eighth Route Army's firepower in attacking Pingxiang was fierce, the fighting Eighth Route Army did not seem to have any intention of attacking Pingxiang. They only opened fire outside the city until daybreak.
When the reinforcements from Qu County and Xiao'an Town were about to arrive in Pingxiang, this group of Eighth Route Army troops directly chose to retreat, and disappeared without a trace in the Pingxiang area in the blink of an eye.
The reinforcements from Qu County and Xiao'an Town finally arrived, but they were rushed to nothing.
The defenders of Pingxiang were stunned!
Yoshio Shinozuka was also dumbfounded, and immediately his face turned into the color of pig liver.
Listening to the information reported by the Signal Corps that Xiao'an Town was attacked by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, Yoshio Shinozuka still didn't understand that he had fallen into a trap. The attack on Pingxiang was just a false move. The Eighth Route Army's main attack point was actually located in Xiao'an Town!
The military value of Xiao'an Town is much more important than that of Pingxiang.
If the military value of Qu County is that it is the hub of the Japanese army's supplies and arsenal, then Xiao'an Town is the transfer station for Qu County's supplies and arsenals.
Xiao'an Town will hoard a considerable amount of supplies and arms before transferring them to Qu County.
As a big piece of fat, Kong Jie and Ding Wei once teamed up to launch a sneak attack on Xiao'an Town and made a lot of seizures. Kong Jie even got a Type 92 infantry cannon.
Therefore, for the Japanese army, even if they lose Pingxiang, they cannot lose Xiaoan Town.
The Japanese command immediately ordered that the reinforcements originally sent to Pingxiang from Xiao'an Town and Qu County quickly returned to support Xiao'an Town. In addition, Qu County once again sent reinforcements to support Xiao'an Town.
…
New group.
After a night of fighting, Ding Wei has led a new regiment of soldiers to successfully complete the attack on a certain railway line from Taikoo to Yangquan.
Before they could return to their base on the way, the scouts suddenly came to report: "Report to the regimental commander, Japanese reinforcements were spotted five kilometers away and are moving rapidly towards Pingxiang. In addition, we have detected fighting in Pingxiang. It seems that our comrades are Attack Pingxiang."
"Attack Pingxiang?"
Ding Wei was a little surprised, wasn't it an attack? Why are you still thinking about establishing a township?
force?
"Which army? Send someone quickly to find out."
"yes."
Soon after, the scouts brought back the information Ding Wei was waiting for.
"The regiment leader is a company from the Fourth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, plus local troops and some militia comrades. He said that he was ordered by Deputy Commander Li to attack Pingxiang."
"Hehe, Li Yunlong!" Ding Weile said: "I knew that anything out of the ordinary must have something to do with that kid Li Yunlong."
"Continue to pay attention to the battle situation in Pingxiang and report to me at any time."
"yes."
After the scouts left, Ding Wei was wondering what the two guys, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, were planning?
It would be fine if these two people were alone, but together they would be incompatible with each other.
Not long after, the signal corps returned to the reporting station and reported: "Report to the regiment leader, after the Japanese reinforcements arrived in Pingxiang, the independent team that attacked Pingxiang retreated directly. The Japanese reinforcements seemed to have received the order and were quickly moving towards Xiao'an Town. .”
Ding Wei rubbed his chin and pondered: "This guy Li Yunlong has put a company of troops in Pingxiang. As for the local troops and militia comrades, they are just here to fill the scene. The Japanese reinforcements will withdraw as soon as they arrive. This is obviously a feint attack!" "
"Xiao'an Town! That's a piece of fat meat. Everyone who has eaten it knows it. It seems that Lao Li has also set his sights on this piece of fat. The Japanese reinforcements are rushing over. Maybe Lao Li has already launched an attack."
Thinking of this, Ding Wei immediately ordered: "Immediately send an order to the first battalion to quickly catch up with the Japanese reinforcements and stop the Japanese reinforcements. The second battalion took the opportunity to make a detour. If they can eat this group of Japanese reinforcements on the spot, that's it." A big piece of fat."
"yes!"
Brigade Headquarters.
The news that the Eighth Route Army troops were attacking Pingxiang first and then Xiaoan Town soon spread.
Since the battle took place under the jurisdiction of the 386th Brigade, the headquarters also called to inquire about the situation. The boss thought it was the brigade commander's arrangement.
As a result, the brigade commander was also confused.
The regiment sent out is conducting an attack on the railway line!
There was no order from the brigade headquarters to arrange an attack on the towns.
At first the brigade commander was a little annoyed, but when he turned around, the boss said that these towns were fighting well, first Pingxiang, and then Xiaoan Town. After such a fight, the entire northwest of Shanxi was in chaos.
For a while, the kid really couldn't figure out the real intention of the Eighth Route Army. Is it a railway line or an attack on towns?
This just gave each regiment a good cover for their attack operations.
In this way, the teams attacking Pingxiang and Xiaoan Town were considered accidental, which indirectly contributed to the success of the attack.
But merit is merit and fault is fault. Even the brigade commander didn't know what was going on with this sudden military action to attack towns and villages, which was remarkable.
Without further ado, the brigade commander immediately ordered an investigation to find out which regiment's territory was closest to Pingxiang and Xiao'an Town.
As a result, it was found that it was a guerrilla area belonging to an independent group.
"Okay, we found the rightful owner."
The political commissar wondered: "So it's the independent regiment that did it, but brigade commander, Kong Jie is leading the main force of his regiment to attack the railway line in the eastern section of Yangquan! Political commissar Zhao Gang called to report the situation not long ago, saying that it was Successfully destroyed more than 300 meters of the railway line in the eastern section of Yangquan, and uprooted three small and medium-sized Japanese strongholds, repelled Japanese reinforcements, and captured huge profits."
"Kong Jie doesn't have the art of cloning, so how can he fight on two fronts, carrying out an attack on the eastern section while attacking Pingxiang and Xiao'an Town?"
The director was so shrewd. He snorted coldly and said, "You have forgotten about Li Yunlong, the deputy leader of the Independent Regiment."
"Yes! There is also a fourth battalion in the Independent Regiment, and Li Yunlong is in charge of it! This kid must have done it." The political commissar suddenly realized.
The brigade commander said: "This kind of thing is too similar to Li Yunlong's style. As long as it happens, don't think about it, just pile it on this kid."
"This stinky boy, although he got it wrong, but he has to change his daring habits. Next time he comes to the brigade headquarters, I will see if I don't beat him to death."
