Three days later, the reconnaissance troops from Yuncheng, Ping'an County, and Xiaohuangshan all heard news, and at the same time, they found that the Japanese army was coming towards them, and the defenders of some cities were already in battle with the Japanese.

"It's finally here!" Li Yunlong stood in the city, looking into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Zhao, Lao Ding, go back to the command center and tell the soldiers to be prepared for the enemy!"

Zhao Gang and Ding Wei nodded, winked at Zhang Dabiao, then turned around and walked down the city tower.

In the command center, the atmosphere was depressing, and all the cadres above the battalion gathered here, and everyone's faces were extremely nervous and serious.

The Japanese were less than 200 kilometers away from them, which also means that there was no investigation in the situation in Yuncheng and Xiaohuangshan at this time.

Even though they learned the news in advance, they were still extremely nervous when this day arrived, and even Li Yunlong was no exception.

The war is full of too many unknown factors and uncertainties. Even if Ping'an County is currently strong, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.

As the commander, Li Yunlong knew that this was the art of war. Often, a small decision could destroy a single army that had already had the advantage.

In the bucket, as long as the decision is made well, the disadvantaged army can also turn defeat into victory.

Li Yunlong stood in front of the sand table, pondered for a moment and said, "There are good times and people, and we have all taken all these three points!"

"I won't say anything extra. All we have to do is to stick to the city and buy time for the war in Henan. If conditions permit, we will eliminate the invading enemy in one fell swoop!"

"Everyone, life and death depend on this battle. We share honor and disgrace, advance and retreat together, and never abandon, and never give up!"

"Don't abandon, don't give up!" Everyone stood up and saluted: "The city is there, the city is destroyed and the people are killed!"

"Get out of the city and prepare to face the enemy!" Li Yunlong roared with murderous intent.

"Yes!" Everyone answered the order and shouted with a serious expression.

This time, Li Yunlong's purpose was very simple. He used tenacious troops to drag the Japanese offensive, consumed the Japanese with mines and artillery fire. Finally, when the enemy was tired, the army came out together to annihilate the invading enemy.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion and Shen Quan's second battalion left the city at the same time, and there were also some problems with Ding Wei's new second battalion.

Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan's troops were responsible for burying landmines fifty miles away from Ping'an County. The range has reached a width of 500 meters, and of course it is not infinitely laid. It is mainly used for burying landmines with mother and child thunder and thunder.

It is not always a paving process. It may be every ten meters or every fifteen meters. In short, it is to make the Japanese unable to figure it out and make every step of the Japanese feel like walking on thin ice.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to delay the Japanese offensive pace and gain more time.

After spending a day and a night, the mine-filled roads and the trenches of the New Second Regiment were completed one after another.

At the same time, the reconnaissance cavalry also heard news, confirming the number and firepower configuration of the Japanese this time.

Two war artillery wings, one tank wing, and the rest are all infantry wings.

The next day, the two Japanese corps officially entered the area of ​​Ping'an County and began to march towards Ping'an County.

However, their actions had long been clearly seen by the scouts arranged by Li Yunlong in advance, and they were reported to Li Yunlong as soon as possible.

"Captain, the Japanese can enter our minefield at noon today. We can launch a sudden attack on them while the Japanese are clearing their mines!"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "Don't worry, let the Japanese rush forward for a while and sharpen their temperament. When they are anxious, we can better find flaws and avoid unnecessary casualties!"

At the same time, the two brigades of the Japanese had arrived in front of the mine area set up by Li Yunlong.

The two brigade commanders this time were the commander of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese, and the other was the commander of the 136th brigade of the Japanese, Sundō Ai.

These two Japanese soldiers are brigade commanders who have experienced many battles and killed countless people, and have unique insights into war.

"His Excellency Xuandao, in front is Ping'an County where Li Yunlong is stationed. I seem to be able to see the trenches they dug!"

Xuandao laughed: "Muwahara, this time our two brigades joined forces. What if Li Yunlong set up the trenches in advance?"

"We have a tank wing and two field artillery wings to capture a small Ping'an County, which is effortless!"

"Order the 27th Infantry Regiment to open the way forward and build trenches one thousand meters before reaching Li Yunlong's troops!"

"Hayi!"

The 27th Infantry Regiment Captain responded and immediately walked at the forefront of the team, but one of the teams triggered the mine shortly after entering the mine circle.

Suddenly, an explosion sounded, and all three or four Japanese around were blown away.

"Baga!" The 27th Regiment Captain cursed: "The despicable Chinese people actually set up an ambush here! Don't move everyone, and immediately notify the brigade commander and ask him to send engineers to clear the mines!"

"Hayi!" A soldier responded, then turned around and left.

"Baga!" Xuandaoqiu said angrily: "Damn Li Yunlong, he actually blocked the empire's march in this way."

"Order the Engineer Brigade to clear the mines immediately. Before evening, he must arrive in front of the position where Li Yunlong and the others are!"

"Hayi!"

After a while, the Japanese engineers were dispatched collectively. Although Li Yunlong also sniped the Japanese engineers, the Japanese reacted immediately. Under the cover of firepower, the Japanese engineers finally discharged all the minefields at around 4 pm.

Of course, the price paid is to lose a small team of troops.

At around five o'clock in the evening, the battle began, and the Japanese infantry took the lead in launching an attack. Then two field artillery corps joined and launched a fierce bombing on Li Yunlong's position.

Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan's troops hid in the bullet crater, one by one, making them itchy.

"His grandma, the Japanese are very proud!" A soldier angrily spit out the mud in his mouth: "Wait until our artillery fire starts, and you all will be bombarded back to your hometown."

"Battery Commander, are we just being bombed here so cowardly? Why don't we fight back?" Another soldier asked: "It's too cowardly to fight like this!"

Zhang Dabiao looked cold: "I also want to rush out and fight the Japanese, but the commander's order is here. Before the commander's order is issued, war is strictly prohibited!"

Not long after Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, the cannons on the city wall adjusted the angle under the command of Wang Chengzhu!

"Report to the regiment commander, the cannon angle is correct, please give me instructions!"

Li Yunlong yelled: "Fight! Fire hard and beat me up this group of bastards!"
Chapter completed!
