The Japs in the Pingyin direction suffered two heavy losses in succession, and currently there is not much difference compared to the Japs in the original Feicheng.
The 21st Regiment of the Japanese Army in Pingyin lost two infantry squadrons during the previous reinforcements in Dongping County, and when they rushed to Feicheng, another infantry squadron was wiped out by Shangguan Zhibiao. Therefore, its total strength is now less than three infantry brigades.
In other words, the 21st Regiment of the Japanese Army had more troops than the 11th Regiment, so it was stationed in Dongping County and prepared to move south along the defense zone of the Second War Zone to cut off the connection between the 55th Army and the Second War Zone. .
It's a pity that the little devil was not ready yet, but Duanwu came over in advance and caught the little devil off guard.
Because the Japs were supposed to launch a full-scale attack at the end of February, the Dragon Boat Festival was almost a month ahead of schedule. Before the Japs could gain a foothold, the military supplies had just arrived in the frontline cities, and the deployed troops were not yet fully in place. , but Duanwu had already brought people to kill him.
Of course, this is exactly what Dragon Boat Festival wants. You cannot wait for your enemy to be ready in a war. When he attacks you, it will be too late if you improvise.
You must strike first when your enemy is not yet secure. And use the power of thunder to not give your enemy time to react.
Therefore, the original Dragon Boat Festival troops should take a rest. Days of fighting have made the soldiers very tired.
But that night, Dragon Boat Festival rushed to Pingyin. In the early morning of the next day, January 26, he had arrived at Pingyin City. Launched an attack on Pingyin in the early morning.
However, the main force this time was not the second battalion that had fought with Duanwu in Feicheng before. The third battalion, including Zhou Tianyi's special first battalion, and the supply battalion that arrived with Zhou Tianyi, were all allowed to rest by Duanwu.
Those responsible for the attack this time were Sun Shiyu's artillery battalion and the first and fourth battalions commanded by Shangguan Zhibiao.
After ambushing the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Pingyin, these two battalions were ordered by Dragon Boat Festival to rest where they were.
In other words, at that time, Dragon Boat Festival had already decided to defeat Pingyin, otherwise why would Shangguan Zhibiao and his people hide in the mountains to rest for the purpose of attacking the city at this time.
The little devil in Pingyin County was naturally caught off guard. They did not expect that the Supervision Corps would suddenly appear under Pingyin City. Even Seishiro Ban Heng thought that the Supervision Corps suddenly disappeared and returned to Dongping County.
After all, the front line was already in full swing at this time, and neither the 56th Army nor the 55th Army could cross the line of fire to support the supervision team.
Therefore, itataheng Seishiro believed that if he went deep into the enemy's hinterland, after achieving enough results and without reinforcements, he would definitely choose to retreat in time.
Otherwise, there are enemies all around. Once you are restrained by the enemies, it will really make the sky and the earth useless.
But who would have thought that the Dragon Boat Festival disappeared all night and appeared at the gate of Pingyin County in the early morning of the next day.
And not only that, when they arrived at Pingyin County, they immediately attacked the city.
And can all Chinese people fly? A city wall of seven or eight meters, you just climbed up if you said you could climb it?
The east city gate of Pingyin County fell almost without encountering any major obstacles.
Of course, little did the little devil know that this time it was Duan Wu himself who took charge. He took the company and platoon-level cadres selected from the first battalion and climbed to the city wall at night, seizing the east city gate. Then the east city gate opened, and the first battalion rushed in directly.
There are underground party leaders in the city to assist.
Therefore, Ma Pingan's contribution in this battle was not small. Without his intelligence and the help of the underground party, even if Duanwu captured the East City Gate, the next battle would not be easy to fight. Because after entering the city, everything goes dark and you don’t know where you are. How are you going to fight this battle?
So this time, Ma Ping'an still helped a lot. The underground party comrades in the city led the way and led a battalion directly to the little Japanese's military camp.
Zhu Shengzhong ordered an artillery company of the first battalion to target the little Japanese camp with indiscriminate bombing.
The little devil's military camp suddenly became chaotic.
However, the little devil's military camp is not only located in this one place, but is divided into two parts: east and west. Zhu Shengzhong only bombed one of them, and there was also a security group of 400 people in Pingyin County.
After receiving the order from the Japanese, the security group quickly reinforced, but they encountered part of the Fourth Battalion halfway and directly defeated the puppet army.
Compared with the Supervisory Corps, the little Japs can only be abused, let alone the second Japs.
So the two Japanese soldiers were beaten instantly and their corpses were scattered all over the field. They suffered heavy losses and fled.
The two Japs were defeated here, and the Japs in the camp that was bombarded also ran out of the back door of the camp in a panic.
They also received an order from the captain to retreat quickly, retreat to the center of the city to join another Japanese army, and then engage in street fighting with the enemy in the central streets.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Shengzhong had already sent two companies to the back of the kid's camp. As soon as the kid climbed over the wall, he was shot dead on the street outside the compound wall.
The Japanese in the camp could not get out, so they could only rely on the buildings in the camp as bunkers to deal with Zhu Shengzhong.
But Zhu Shengzhong was not in a hurry at all. Although he was easy to ignite before, he was more than brave in combat but lacked in resourcefulness. But since I followed the Dragon Boat Festival, I also learned to like to use skills, dig holes for the little devils, make obstacles, anyway, he will do whatever it takes to torture the devils and he will not suffer any loss.
He surrounded the entire battalion to fight against the Japanese, which not only reduced the blind spots for shooting, but also used grenade mortars to continuously bombard the Japanese camps.
The Independent Regiment never lacks artillery shells, because just now, more than a thousand artillery shells of various types were obtained from Feicheng Dragon Boat Festival.
The grenades and mortars also belong to the Japs, so these shells can be used.
So Zhu Shengzhong just exploded, and the tortured little devil kept screaming and calling for reinforcements.
But at this time, not even a single reinforcement from the little devil could get through.
The Fourth Battalion first defeated the Erjiazi security regiment, and then ambushed a Japanese reinforcement team.
This team should be a patrol team in the city. After hearing the gunfire, they gathered together and sent reinforcements to Dongcheng, where the gunfire was loud.
But on the way, they encountered an ambush from the Fourth Battalion. None of the fifty or so Japanese soldiers escaped. They all died at an intersection two hundred meters into the east city.
Then more Japanese reinforcements arrived. Seeing that the imperial army in front was instantly killed, they no longer dared to rush forward. They all retreated to the central streets of Pingyin County to build defenses, and reported to their headquarters that the enemy's firepower was extremely heavy. It's so powerful that they won't be able to withstand it for long. Please make plans in advance, your Excellency, Captain!
