Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 298 Anxiety in and around Ping'an County

Outside Ping An City.

When the whole Jin area was in flames, Li Yunlong, as the initiator of this battle, squatted in a temporary command post not far from Ping'an County, staring at the top of the city wall with a frown.

Previously, because they estimated that the Japanese defense force would be very strong, they left the telegraph operators who could guide the artillery fire behind. However, who would have known that Zhang Dabiao and his battalion would advance at an extremely astonishing speed, which immediately widened the gap.

According to Sun Desheng's speed, the round trip would take at least more than an hour.

Li Yunlong also started to bombard the city with some weapons in his hands, but he failed to break the thick walls of Ping'an County.

Since ordinary light weapons attacks did not have any real effect, there was a very strange silence outside Ping An City for a while.

Li Yunlong could foresee that countless people on the periphery would begin an extremely tenacious attack because of the battle he had fought. He himself did not expect that there would be such a strange silence here.

"Captain, how about I lead my comrades to charge once?"

Zhang Dabiao put on his hat, ready to throw it to the ground at any time, and rushed forward with his big knife.

"Going now is no different from giving it away for free. Let's wait a little longer. Old Yu's heavy artillery has never let us down."

Li Yunlong made up his mind with difficulty, he was also taking a gamble.

Every minute and every second is extremely important on the battlefield. Sometimes one minute can decide the outcome of a battle, not to mention that I have to wait here for an hour.

Moreover, for every hour we delay here, a large number of soldiers who are blocking the enemy from the outside will be sacrificed.

Li Yunlong was secretly anxious: If, if the radio was not so expensive, it would be great if everyone had one, so that he would not have to wait for the translator to come, and any soldier could guide the artillery fire. If the artillery shells did not need coordinate guidance and could find the target by themselves, then he would not have to be so anxious.

Although he was anxious, Li Yunlong could only suppress his emotions and wait quietly for the overwhelming artillery fire.

In Ping An City.

"Colonel Yamamoto, we have lost all our positions outside the city. We only have the inner city left to defend. All our forces must be withdrawn.

The new type of artillery shells fired by the Tubalu without a barrel cannot shake our city walls for the time being."

The Japanese officer in charge of defending the city came to report the latest battle situation.

At the same time, the Japanese soldier in charge of radio communications also brought the latest situation of the reinforcements: "Colonel Yamamoto, the reinforcements from Fu'an were blocked by the Eighth Route Army whose origins were unknown. The train that the Narita Regiment from Taiyuan was riding on derailed in the Luyang direction. Colonel Narita is ready to come on foot to support.

The Shuiquan reinforcements were also blocked by the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of the Shiwuli Xiaomiao. After attacking for several hours, they were still unable to break through and suffered heavy casualties.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Yamamoto Ikki waved his hand and asked the signalman to return to his own job. There was no emotion on Yamamoto's face, and he was as cold as ever.

But his heart was gradually sinking. He had already grasped the movements of various reinforcements and knew that almost all of them had been frantically blocked by the Chinese army. Not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army and even various local armed forces were involved in this blocking.

It will be extremely difficult for Ping'an County to join up with the locust army reinforcements.

Moreover, the reinforcements of the Locust Army had already paid a huge price due to the disadvantageous terrain.

Yamamoto Ikki asked in a deep voice: "Can we now determine which team is attacking Ping'an County?"

The Japanese officer guarding the city responded: "Report to the colonel, judging from the equipment and firepower density used by the enemy, there is no other team in the Eighth Route Army that can do this except the independent regiment."

"Independence Group?"

A light flashed in Yamamoto Ikki's eyes, and then he lowered his head again: "That's right, apart from Li Yunlong's independent regiment, who else can have such a strong fighting force and gather the military force to attack the locust army to control the county in such a short time?"

"However, I just destroyed his Liaoyuan Arsenal and attacked his regiment headquarters and political commissar. I didn't expect his revenge to come so quickly."

"Yes, Colonel, apart from Li Yunlong, I really can't think of anyone else in the Eighth Route Army who would choose such a crazy way to attack the city.

There were no feint attacks, just high-intensity main attacks from all four sides.

Only this crazy commander could do that."

"Then let us meet him!"

Yamamoto Ikki took a deep breath and decided to face this opponent who had escaped from him time and time again, and this Chinese soldier who had repeatedly made him return with defeat.

Considering that the independent regiment had rocket launchers, Yamamoto Kazuki was not so stupid as to climb up the city gate directly. He hid his body with the help of the city wall and began to shout to the outside of the city with a loudspeaker.

"My name is Yamamoto Ikki. Are you Captain Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army?"

The sound amplified by the loudspeaker broke the eerie silence caused by the confrontation between the two sides, and it seemed so harsh in the current situation.

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Captain Li, I have a suggestion. Since you can't capture this county now, why increase innocent casualties? How about we negotiate a deal?

As long as you withdraw, we can offer you all the supplies in Ping'an County."

Yamamoto Ikki knew that he had no bargaining chips to use in negotiations with Li Yunlong, so he tried to delay time from the beginning.

The translator translated Yamamoto Ikki's words and spread them in all directions in the venue.

"We can talk, but as long as your people lay down their weapons and get out of the city, I, Li Yunlong, promise not to kill any of them!" Li Yunlong also shouted at the top of his voice.

Zhang Dabiao looked at the commander's back thoughtfully. What the commander just said was "I, Li Yunlong, guarantee that no one will be killed", but he did not say that the independent regiment guarantees that no one will be killed.

Theoretically speaking, the independent group is under the jurisdiction of the minister. What if it is Minister Yu?

Zhang Dabiao grinned and secretly warned himself: Don't think about it, don't think about it, just accept the order and do it. No, I can't make things difficult for Minister Yu, I have to share Minister Yu's worries.

"Captain Li, since the locust army entered China, how many locust soldiers have you seen voluntarily surrender?"

"Then what the hell are you talking about?"

Li Yunlong threw down a sentence and immediately lost interest in talking.

Li Yunlong turned around and asked Zhang Dabiao, "Dabiao, didn't we bring our rocket launchers here? Can we think of a way to kill him with one? If we can kill that bastard Yamamoto, maybe we can get in without waiting for Lao Yu's heavy artillery."

Zhang Dabiao said with a bitter face: "Captain, I just asked the soldiers of the artillery company, that bastard Yamamoto is hiding under the city wall, and we can't kill him with our bomb.

Considering the thickness of the city wall, it would be a waste of shells."

"Damn it!"

Li Yunlong cursed.

"Da Biao, call the young man who cursed at the Kawasaki Brigade last time at Lijiapo and ask him to curse with Yamamoto. I can't stand my throat anymore.

Send someone else to ask when the interpreter will arrive. It's already been twenty minutes."

"Yes, leader!"
