Chapter 381: Lao Li, I have good news for you. Zhang Dabiao has successfully entered Ping'an Co
Gao Yuanzhi still remembered Lin Zhenhua's instructions to use up all the ammunition he carried as quickly as possible and return to Maoershan Airport immediately. After replenishing ammunition and fuel, he would take off immediately to intercept enemy planes coming from the southeast to ensure the smooth progress of the encirclement and annihilation battle and preserve the fruits of this victory.
Before the attack, Gao Yuanzhi gave the pilots in the squadron a strict order that they must use up all the ammunition they carried within half an hour and start returning on time at 36:. It was under Gao Yuanzhi's strict requirements that the fighters quickly used up all the ammunition they carried. The most important thing was that the fierce firepower from the air made it impossible for the Japanese to raise their heads and assemble at all.
Zhang Dabiao's 1st Armored Battalion seized this favorable opportunity and arranged half of the troops to protect civilian houses and the remaining half to encircle and suppress the remaining Japanese invaders.
"The first and second companies will continue to wipe out the remaining Japanese forces. We must not let the Japanese gather together. We must find a way to drive them out of the city and use the mobility and firepower advantages of our armored forces to eliminate the Japanese outside the city."
"The third and fourth companies should immediately follow the pre-war deployment and go to protect the civilians. If you encounter any young people taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, kill them resolutely!"
"Telegraph operator, immediately connect to the regiment headquarters and tell the regiment commander about our situation. Urge the troops behind to speed up their march and reach Ping'an County as soon as possible to clear out the enemy street by street and house by house. No enemy or puppet troops can be spared, especially the second enemy from the Maintenance Association. They cannot be allowed to escape. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
Zhang Dabiao immediately issued an order to purge the group, and the First Armored Battalion quickly took action according to his arrangement. While the order was being passed on, Shen Quan and the Second Armored Battalion also caught up. They hurried along the way, but still failed to catch up, which made Shen Quan so angry that he jumped up and cursed.
"Lao Zhang, can't you leave some for me? The whole piece of meat was eaten by your First Battalion, and our Second Battalion hasn't even fired a shot yet. How can I explain this to my brothers? Next, your First Battalion should take a break and let our Second Battalion perform well. We can't let your First Battalion take all the good things in the attack on Ping'an County. If that happens, our Second Battalion will really be raised by a stepmother!"
Zhang Dabiao didn't care about Shen Quan's complaints. He smiled slightly on his serious face and pointed to the Black Vine Battalion headquarters in the distance and said, "Old Shen, if I don't give you a chance, my first and second companies haven't been fully deployed yet. Now is the opportunity for you, Old Shen's Second Battalion, to show your abilities. While the Japanese are stunned, rush up with your Second Battalion. This piece of fat meat is not small. If you can capture the Japanese colonel, you, Shen Quan, will have made a great contribution. Don't say that I don't take care of you."
Shen Quan gave Zhang Dabiao a thumbs up, waved the command flag heavily, and led the Second Armored Battalion to continue to move forward. The 50mm tank guns on the six leading tanks had already opened fire. No matter whether the shots were accurate or not, they had to shoot first. Even if they couldn't kill the Japanese, they had to scare them so that they wouldn't escape in advance and they wouldn't be able to catch the big fish.
Zhang Dabiao followed closely behind and began to encircle and suppress the streets near the Japanese headquarters, and sent an armored company to attack the security group's base. Shen Quan also knew that the puppet army security group was a piece of fat meat, so he sent two armored companies to attack.
The streets of Ping'an County were filled with tanks and armored vehicles, and the young people who took the opportunity to cause chaos were killed immediately, so that the people's homes did not suffer any damage. Otherwise, if these young people were allowed to cause chaos, the people's property would definitely not be saved, and their families might even be destroyed.
Xu Zhongyi of Tianxiang Restaurant was awakened from his sleep when he heard the explosions outside. He called the waiters in the restaurant and hid in the cellar. Xu Zhongyi took out the radio station and immediately contacted the independent regiment. Only Li Yunlong could make such a big noise to attack Ping'an County. Xu Zhongyi locked the target immediately.
However, the code book that the Independent Regiment originally used to contact Xu Zhongyi had long been destroyed, and the two sides could not establish effective contact at all. Xu Zhongyi did not dare to send messages in plain text, as that would be tantamount to incriminating himself. He cursed Li Yunlong in his heart, and then told his men to hide together and continue to lie low in accordance with their superiors' orders.
In the fast-moving communication command vehicle, Lin Zhenhua served as a telegraph operator. He sent and received telegrams one by one and quickly delivered them to Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang was translating with the code book. The two cooperated very well. When he saw that Zhang Dabiao had successfully entered Taiyuan City, Zhao Gang said with joy on his face: "Good news, I just received a telegram from Zhang Dabiao. The first armored battalion has already entered the north gate within the scheduled time and is now encircling and suppressing the remaining enemies in the city!"
But when Zhao Gang saw the content of the telegram in Chapter 128, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a sad face: "All comrades of the reconnaissance company died heroically. They used their lives to buy time for the st Armored Battalion and covered Zhang Dabiao's successful entry into Ping'an County. They are real heroes!"
Li Yunlong's veins popped up on his hands. He didn't expect that the battle had only been going on for half an hour and he had already lost a reconnaissance company. This also made his heated mind quickly calm down, and he issued orders in an orderly manner: "Order the fifth battalion to stay and wipe out the remaining Japanese enemies, and the fourth and sixth battalions to speed up their march. They must rush to Ping'an County within half an hour!"
"Call Zhang Dabiao back and delegate the command of the front line to Zhang Dabiao. Order him to clear out the puppet troops and devils in the city as quickly as possible and welcome the follow-up troops into the city!"
Lin Zhenhua reminded seriously: "The victory or defeat of Ping'an County is a foregone conclusion. It is only a matter of time before the remaining devils and puppet troops are wiped out. We must pay attention to the threat from the air. Although I have arranged for the Thunder Fighter Squadron to respond in advance, we must also prepare for the worst. After completing the occupation of Ping'an County, we will immediately deploy anti-aircraft firepower, transport military supplies, and protect the fruits of our victory!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. The Japanese bombing of the base in recent days made them more and more aware that fighter planes can sometimes play a decisive role in war, and their awareness of air defense operations was greatly enhanced.
"College student, your reminder is absolutely correct. After receiving the news that Ping'an County was attacked, the Japanese headquarters will definitely send fighter planes here as soon as possible. They will arrive over Ping'an County in two and a half hours at most. We must eliminate the Japanese and puppet army remnants in the city within one and a half hours and deploy air defense operations with all our strength!"
Inside the headquarters of the Kurofuji Garrison Battalion in Ping'an County, there was a secret passage underneath the pitch-black operations room. Colonel Kurofuji immediately led Mitsui Taro and the other two to hide in it. Using the light of a flashlight, they bent over and left the headquarters of the garrison battalion through the secret passage.
"Colonel Kurofuji, including my special forces team, we only have more than 30 people. We have no way to compete with the enemy's army. What we need to do now is to leave Ping'an County immediately and go to meet up with Mr. Yamamoto in Anjiaji." Hirata Kojiro persuaded anxiously.
Colonel Kurofuji has really become a lost dog now. He has only 22 troops under his command. This is why Kojiro Hirata advised him to leave. The situation is now powerless to turn around. Relying on 11 special agents alone cannot guarantee everyone's safety. Only if Colonel Kurofuji is willing to follow him and leave, can everyone get rid of the current predicament.
Colonel Kurofuji easily saw through Hirata Kojiro's little trick, but he had no choice now. If he continued to stay in Ping'an County, it would be a dead end. If he followed Hirata Kojiro to Anjiaji and looked for a suitable opportunity to launch a counterattack to retake Ping'an County, he might be exempted from the crime, but he would have to hand over all the money he had earned before, and maybe he could continue to stay in his current position.
"Pingtian, I am willing to follow you to Anjiaji. When I came out, I brought a radio with me and reported the situation to the Taiyuan Command. I estimate that the commander will soon send fighter planes to support us, and nearby reinforcements will be mobilized soon. In three days at most, we can recapture Ping'an County, and take this opportunity to completely wipe out Li Yunlong's independent regiment and complete the task assigned by the headquarters ahead of schedule!"
Everyone had no objection to this, and immediately, under the leadership of Ichiro Nakamura, they continued to move forward along the secret passage. It took more than half an hour before they left Ping'an County and marched quickly towards Anjiaji.
"Mr. Nakamura, I apologize for my previous rudeness. If Mr. Nakamura had not ordered people to dig this secret passage in advance, everyone present might have been captured by the enemy. It would have been a lifelong shame for us and would even have implicated our families back home." Mitsui Taro was the first to step forward and express his gratitude.
Nakamura Ichiro waved his hand and didn't care. You know, he was called a coward by this group of people before, but he didn't think it was a humiliation, but a compliment. In terms of saving his life, Nakamura Ichiro simply has full skills and avoided many life-and-death crises.
"Haha, I don't care about your sarcasm. On the contrary, I think it is an honor. I claim to be a businessman. The first priority of a businessman is to ensure his own safety. Otherwise, no matter how much money he makes, it will only be for others. Only by living a long life can he become the final winner!"
Mitsui Taro savored this sentence carefully, and his eyes lit up. Before, he looked down on Nakamura Ichiro and cooperated with him for the purpose of using him. From this moment on, he really changed his view of Nakamura Ichiro and felt that he was a good ally.
"Yoshi! There's an old Chinese saying that a smile when meeting someone can erase all grudges. Besides, there's no hatred between us to begin with. We should work more closely together to make our business bigger and stronger, and let the world see that compared to those old guys, we, the new generation, are not inferior to them in means and ability. On the contrary, we are even stronger!"
