As the top commander of Pingan County at the moment, Zhao Lifan, the commander of the third regiment of the 5th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army, looked at the artillery pieces a few hundred meters away from the city tower, and his scalp went numb!
He didn't hide it at all, he placed the artillery where he could see it very clearly.
If he read it correctly, there are 8 Type 41 mountain cannons and 20 Type 92 infantry cannons!
This is the treatment at the main city gate. At the other gates, reports say that there are at least twenty mortars of different calibers lined up at each gate ready to attack.
Zhao Lifan knew what this meant.
Once the cannon fires, if Ping An City can hold on for an hour, he will lose!
"Brothers from Ping'an City, please stop resisting immediately, surrender your guns and do not kill! If you resist, we will all be destroyed!" A huge loudspeaker set up outside the city made a sound that was heard by almost the entire county.
The two Japs from the Imperial Association Army who were defending on the city tower all had earth-colored faces.
This kind of attack lineup was not so scary when the little devils came. God knows how the Eighth Route Army got so many artillery pieces.
Could it be said that those artillery pieces are all fake? Is it made of wood?
"Fake, those cannons are all fake. There can't be so many cannons on Tubal Road!" Two Japanese soldiers shouted at the top of their lungs.
Many Japanese devils were also awakened by this sound and began to harbor fantasies.
As if to confirm their doubts, the artillery of the independent regiment besieging the city and the 386th brigade artillery battalion fired at the tower almost simultaneously.
For a moment, there was a booming sound of artillery in Ping'an County, but these cannons all landed on the edge of the wall of the city tower, frightening all the two Japs from the Imperial Alliance Army who were defending the city!
"Did you see it? This is a warning! Now I'll give you 30 seconds to think about it, put down your weapons, and don't kill!" The loudspeaker made a loud sound. This time, no one dared to underestimate the warning issued by the loudspeaker.
"Liu Sang, why haven't you given the order to shoot?" A kid with a Rendan Hu next to Zhao Lifan held up a tortoise box and said to Zhao Lifan in a somewhat stiff tone.
This is Captain Hirano Shicheng, the staff officer of the Little Japanese Military Police Brigade. Although Hirano can’t hear the sound from the big speaker clearly, after all, it is not easy to learn and master the profound Chinese language. He can communicate simply with his limited Chinese. This kind of loudspeaker The slightly distorted voice is a bit incomprehensible.
But looking at the faces of everyone on the tower and the posture below, everyone knows what it means?
Zhao Lifan glanced at Hirano Zhicheng, his face turned livid, "Damn Japanese, labor and management are not stupid. If you shoot in this situation, isn't it going to kill you?"
Zhao Lifan cursed in his heart, but said: "Mr. Hirano, have you called for help? When will the reinforcements arrive?"
Zhao Lifan still wanted to struggle. Although Tubal Road said that prisoners should be treated preferentially, a powerful and powerful Japanese official like him would return to his original form if he surrendered, and neither side would have a chance.
...
"28!"
"27"
...
Outside the city, the countdown to persuade the Eighth Route Army to surrender continues.
"Boy Gao, can this bluff of yours work?" The brigade commander stared at Gao Jianwu with bright eyes.
Being able to expose so many artillery pieces under Heian City, and secretly hiding more than a dozen in preparation for dealing with the 139th Regiment coming from afar, then some of the artillery displayed under Heian City were the ones that had just captured Yuji Watanabe's task force.
Some really can't fight anymore.
But most of them are really usable, true and false, and even our own people can't figure out how the two devils like the Imperial Alliance Army can figure out the truth.
"Don't worry, brigade commander. The two Japanese are mainly defending the city this time. Even if they don't believe it now, their mental morale will be greatly affected. The few mountain cannons and a dozen infantry cannons at our main city gate are real materials. , it won’t take long for the city gate to be blown open!”
Gao Jianwu said confidently, "Our goal is to capture as many Japanese Japs as possible. If we can get a head start and scare some of them, then even if we really attack the city, the help we will encounter will be much smaller, and there will be more Japanese Japs captured." .”
The brigade commander adjusted his glasses, picked up the telescope and looked at the tower carefully. Sure enough, he found that most of the Japanese soldiers did not even make fighting postures, and knew that what Gao Jianwu said was right.
Today's formation has indeed played a leading role.
What shocked him even more was not this, but the fact that the Independence Regiment and the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade had really made a fortune now, with more than 80 artillery pieces captured in total!
What is this concept? The artillery battalion directly under his brigade only has about 20 mortars of various types! The independent group is several times more powerful than him!
Even with this family's wealth, they still acquired some money from the independent regiment. Thinking that his artillery battalion would at least be upgraded to an artillery regiment after the war, the corners of the brigade commander's mouth turned up slightly.
Gao Jianwu, this kid, really did a good job. The information he received before was still a lot out of date. This kid did have a good way of fighting the annihilation battle, which is why there were so many seizures.
I just don’t know why it is always hidden when reporting, so that the intelligence possessed by the brigade headquarters seriously lags behind.
Fortunately, I came in person this time.
Gao Jianwu did not expect that the brigade commander was thinking about the artillery regiment. In his opinion, this joint operation with the main force of the brigade was necessary to keep all the 139th Regiment under Ping'an City.
As for the possibility of being exploited by the brigade commander for exposing his strength, Gao Jianwu had nothing to think about. Now that the arsenal is gradually taking shape, rifles, mortars and even mountain artillery are now ready to be produced by himself. These equipments in his hands have to be handed over. Strengthen the brigade headquarters.
Then let the brigade headquarters have stronger combat capabilities and strengthen the base area's ability to fight wars in Ping'an!
Otherwise, relying solely on the development of Dagushan and the independent regiments, it is okay to deal with the little devils at the regiment level. Once the little devils are dispatched to the brigade level or even the division level, they will still have no choice but to run away.
However, the base that Gao Jianwu wanted to build was extremely unfavorable for escaping. How much equipment was there in a factory, which could easily range from dozens to hundreds of tons? How could it be transferred?
Therefore, Gao Jianwu must try his best to strengthen the 386th Brigade first, so that at least the little Japanese at the division level will not be able to use it, so as to greatly build Ping'an into a relatively stable base.
The most important thing here is to enhance the artillery power of the brigade headquarters!
Moreover, Gao Jianwu also had an unspeakable little plan, which was to find ways to increase his voice in the brigade headquarters.
Under normal circumstances, he, a local battalion-level guerrilla, basically has no say in the brigade headquarters. There are at least twenty cadres like him in the brigade headquarters, and they can only participate in regiment and battalion meetings. opportunity.
How can we mobilize the strength of the brigade to strengthen the security base?
Therefore, Gao Jianwu not only showed his strength but also demonstrated his ability by playing with the 139th Alliance this time.
Now it seems that after the brigade commander approved and implemented his bluffing tactics, the effect was still good.
Not only was the military morale of the Second Japanese Army disintegrated and morale low, but for our own side, we could already tell from the eyes of the two main regiments, the 771st and 772nd regiments, that their attitudes towards them were completely different.
It can take out more than 60 artillery pieces of various types in one breath. For the main regiments whose mortars have not exceeded 2 figures, the Independent Regiment and Gao Jianwu are already the envy of them.
This made the two main regiment commanders treat Gao Jianwu exactly as Li Yunlong, and not as a battalion-level subordinate under Li Yunlong, because from the organizational point of view, they had long seen that Gao Jianwu was the first artillery detachment and artillery of the Dagushan Guerrilla Brigade. The second detachment blocked two city gates respectively, and they were still equipped with the most artillery and the two strongest ones, which were stronger than the brigade artillery battalion!
