Chapter 262: The 200,000-strong army attacked and defeated the Japanese army(1/2)
On the city tower of Ping'an County, Ding Wei looked at the Japanese who were retreating like the sea, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Old Zhong, the Japanese retreated from their troops. It seems that most of them were the ones who won the battle."
Deputy Commander Zhong nodded: "Fortunately, Commander Li won, otherwise we really don't know if we can continue to persevere!"
Ding Wei nodded and sighed, "Forget it, the result is good! You will be able to send our injured soldiers to treatment later, but don't delay it when you go!"
After saying that, Ding Wei turned around and walked out of the city.
When he arrived outside the city gate, Ding Wei saw the three of them gathered together at a glance and hurriedly walked forward.
"Old Li, if you move slowly, I can't stand it anymore!"
Li Yunlong laughed: "You old Ding is really good at joking. I don't know how capable you are?"
"Just this little bit of the Japanese, Brother Yun Fei is not under pressure to deal with it, let alone you, Lao Ding?"
Chu Yunfei, who was standing beside him, sighed: "Brother Yunlong, I am actually similar to Captain Ding!"
"If the Japanese had been persevering for an hour, our 358th Regiment would probably not be able to defend it!"
"No matter what, we won this battle! The result is good." Kong Jie smiled and said, "The only problem now is that a Japanese division ran away. Should we chase it?"
"Chasing, this must be pursued!" Ding Wei said excitedly: "It is not our style to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Since we want to fight, we have to kill them completely!"
Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said, "I think the pursuit is over."
"Although this Japanese soldier fled, the number of people actually lost was not large. We suffered a lot of losses in this battle, and the risk of pursuing rashly is too great."
"Brother Yunlong is right!" Chu Yunfei agreed: "Military arts, don't chase the enemy. What we need to do now is to clean the battlefield and rest the troops so as to deal with the invading enemy in the future!"
Li Yunlong laughed: "If you don't say that Brother Yunfei graduated from military academy, you will know as much as us!"
"Then according to Brother Yun Fei's wishes, let the Japanese devils go all out, and when they have the chance, they will be taken away in one fell swoop!"
On the other side, on a plain fifteen kilometers away from Ping'an County, the large troops of the Eighth Route Army marched towards Ping'an County.
"Boss, don't worry, we know this kid Li Yunlong's ability, and the Japanese can't do anything to him."
"Yes!" the boss nodded: "That's right, but this time the Japanese sent two divisions and had heavy firepower."
The division commander was silent for a moment and said, "Boss, our vanguard troops will arrive at Ping'an County in half an hour!"
The boss nodded: "Order the troops to speed up the marching speed and must arrive at Ping'an County within 20 minutes."
At this moment, a scout soldier hurriedly ran to the boss.
"Report to the boss, we found a fleeing Japanese army five kilometers south of us."
The boss was stunned: "Which direction did you come from? How many people did you get?"
The scout recalled for a moment and said, "The direction should be Ping'an County. It depends on the organization, which should be a division of the Japanese, but the number of people is insufficient."
The division commander next to him suddenly laughed: "Boss, it seems that Li Yunlong is not only fine, but he has also beaten the Japanese to flee."
The boss said in a deep voice: "This kid makes us feel a little redundant when he makes such a fuss!"
"But, since you've come, why do you have time to go back?"
"Order the troops to turn the direction, catch up with this Japanese division and kill them!"
"yes!"
At the same time, the Jinsui army that was preparing to support also received the news.
Old Xi Yan rode at the Gaotou gate and looked at Zhao Ruimin, the commander of the First Division with excitement.
"Is the news true? Are you sure the Japanese did not capture Ping'an County."
Zhao Ruiming nodded: "Subordinates are sure that our first division's reconnaissance unit saw with his own eyes that Li Yunlong wiped out the 41st Division of the Japanese."
"The 37th Division of the Japanese could not capture it for a long time, and had all retreated. Now it has fled to the north."
"Okay!" Yan Laoxi was overjoyed, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes: "Faced with the attack of the two Japanese divisions, Li Yunlong was able to not only defend Ping'an County, but also wipe out one Japanese division. It can be seen that he is indeed extraordinary."
"Once such talents join our Jinsui Army, our combat effectiveness will definitely leap forward in the future."
"Congratulations to Chief Yan for winning the good general!" Wang Jinguo quickly slapped the horse.
Fu Zuoyi frowned slightly, "Sir Yan, since the battle in Ping'an County has been completed, it will be meaningless for us to go there again!"
"In my opinion, since our army has come out, why not pursue the fleeing Japanese division."
"Yeah." Yan Laoxi nodded, thinking in his heart: As long as he kills this defeated Japanese division, he will publish another report at that time, the Jinsui Army will become famous and take back the hearts of the people in northwestern Shanxi!
Thinking of this, Yan Laoxi's eyes became even more lustered and he immediately ordered a pursuit.
In a mountain ten kilometers away from Ping'an County, Kenji Hirata looked at the Chief of Staff with a nervous look on his face.
"How is it? Li Yunlong's troops didn't chase after him, right?"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese gasped and said, "It should not be. According to the Chinese people's character, they should be cleaning the battlefield at this time."
Kenji Hirata nodded and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bang!"
At this moment, gunfire sounded not far away, and a Japanese soldier fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the gunshots became more and more dense, and Kenji Hirata's heart that had just been relieved suddenly rose to his throat.
"Baga, didn't you say that Li Yunlong didn't chase him?"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese was frightened and sweated coldly: "Secretary Commander, judging from the direction of the gunfire, it should not be Li Yunlong's troops!"
"Report to the division commander, a large number of 8th Route Army members appeared in the north. Now they are quickly pushing us to ******* Tian Jianji to react in an instant: "Damn it, we must have encountered troops supporting Li Yunlong."
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese was stunned and said with a bitter face: "Secretary Commander, what should we do now?"
Kenji Hirata was extremely annoyed and snorted coldly: "When did the empire's troops receive such an insult?"
"Forget it if we can't beat Li Yunlong, can't we even beat other 8th Route Army members?"
"Order, each regiment will immediately launch its defensive formation and kill this Eighth Route Army at all costs."
"Hayi!" The Chief of Staff of the Japanese accepted the order.
Just as the Japanese were about to unfold the formation, the Eighth Route Army troops were gradually approaching.
Because it was a pursuit battle, the artillery of both sides had time to unfold, and the side had already handed over it.
Kenji Hirata gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, why are there more troops supporting Li Yunlong than Li Yunlong? We have stabbed the hornet's nest?"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese shook his head helplessly: "Secretary Commander, with Li Yunlong's combat effectiveness, it is normal for the Eighth Route Army to send so many troops to support him."
"Baga!" Kenji Hirata cursed angrily: "Of course I know."
"Order the field artillery gang quickly unfolded its formation and carried out a fixed-point bombing on the Eighth Route Army!"
On the Eighth Route Army position, the boss held a telescope and frowned: "This battle was wrong. Why did the Japanese who have been fleeing have such strong combat power?"
As he said that, the boss put down his telescope: "What is this guy Chen Zhong doing for? It took him so long to move forward so far?"
"Go and let blind man Cheng go. If he can't take the Japanese front-line position within half an hour, I think he should be replaced as the regiment commander!"
The Chief of Staff smiled and said, "Boss, I think you are a little impatient. This battle has only been fought for less than an hour."
The boss was stunned and smiled and said, "It seems to be a little bit."
"Li Yunlong is just a little bit of a man. He not only defended the county town, but also killed a division of Japanese devils."
"We have so many people, but we have fought with the Japanese for almost an hour, which is really unreasonable."
The Chief of Staff laughed: "Boss, you overestimate Li Yunlong. You don't know the number of people in his army, there are a lot of them!"
At the same time, the Jinsui Army had already arrived at the battlefield.
When Yan Laoxi saw that the Japanese had already exchanged fire with the Eighth Route Army, his face changed drastically, and he did not want the peach that was about to be obtained to be taken away by the Eighth Route Army.
"Order, each division will immediately launch an attack on the Japanese positions, and must attack the Japanese positions before the Eighth Route Army!"
"Yes!" Several division commanders responded and immediately rushed towards the Japanese positions with their respective troops.
"Your Excellency the Division Commander, no, the people from the Jinsui Army are here too! Now we are being attacked from both sides!"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese said in a hurry.
"Nani?" Kenji Hirata's eyes widened, and he picked up the telescope with shock and looked back.
"Bagayalu, damn Chinese!"
"Order the troops to retreat immediately and must escape before they siege!"
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese said with a sad face: "Secretary Commander, what should we do with our artillery?"
Kenji Hirata snorted coldly: "No, the artillery turns into infantry. When you flee back to Taiyuan, the commander will make up for us!"
"Hayi!" The Chief of Staff of the Japanese responded and left.
On the Eighth Route Army position, Commander Chen hurriedly ran to the boss: "Boss, the Japanese are planning to escape from the side. Do you want to order the troops to pursue?"
The boss snorted coldly: "If they were allowed to run away in this situation, would our Eighth Route Army still have the face?"
"Order all troops to pursue immediately. Even if you chase to Taiyuan today, you will have to destroy this Japanese division!"
