Check in from the bright sword

Miyano Michichi let out a Hay, and said again: "However, although the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is only one regiment in name, its strength is no less than that of a division of other Jinsui Army."

"And this is a semi-beautiful mechanic!"

"An additional American howitzer battalion is equipped!"

"Nani?" Kazuo Okamoto stopped his footsteps and said in a deep voice, "Doesn't this mean that the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army has two artillery battalions?"

"Yes."

"Baga!" Kazuo Okamoto said angrily, "This is really too much."

"Your Excellency, there are even more extreme things." Miyano Michiichi said with a dark face, "Although the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment is still only one regiment in name, its actual strength is likely to be nearly 2 people!"

"Nani?" Kazuo Okamoto had a ghostly look on his face, "Nearly 2 people? One regiment?"

"Yes, nearly 2 people, only one regiment." Miyano Michiichi said with a dark face, "It's unbelievable."

"Baga!" Kazuo Okamoto said furiously, "All those idiots in the intelligence department should cut their stomachs to thank the emperor. What are they doing for food? The imperial army is so ignorant of such important information?"

"Your Excellency, you really can't blame the intelligence department for their ineffectiveness." Miyano said, "Because the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, no, no, not just the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, in fact, the entire Eighth Route Army in North China is developing separately. No one knows how many of them there are until the troops are assembled."

"The same is true for the independent group. Before the assembly, even Li Yunlong might not know how many people there are in his army."

"Damn it!" Kazuo Okamoto said angrily, "If this is the case, I really can't blame the intelligence department for their ineffectiveness."

"Yes, this has nothing to do with the capabilities of the intelligence department." Michio Miyano nodded and said again, "However, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army did not develop separately, and the Imperial Army did not know their actual strength and equipment level until recently. , but the intelligence agencies cannot escape the crime of oversight.”

Kazuo Okamoto said in a deep voice: "This means that the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army that participated in the siege of Ping'an County together have a total strength of nearly 3 troops, right?"

"Yes." Miyano nodded and said, "About twenty-five thousand."

"In this case, it's okay." Kazuo Okamoto breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Although the total strength of the 69th Division is less than 5000, and nearly half of them are stationed in the outer strongholds, the remaining The main force of the division in Ping'an County is still nearly 1 people, although the attack is not enough, the defense is more than enough."

"Your Excellency, General." Miyano Michiichi said bitterly, "Unfortunately, there are less than 3000 defenders in Ping'an County."

"Nani? There are less than 3000 defenders in Ping'an County?" Kazuo Okamoto lost his voice, "How is it possible? The main force of the 69th Division is in Ping'an County. How could there be less than 3000 people left?"

Miyano Michiichi said: "Because the main force of the 69th Division was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army in a place called Xiaomiao Village between Heyuan County and Ping'an County, the collective jade was shattered!"

"Nani?" Kazuo Okamoto gasped suddenly, "What's going on?"

Miyano Michiichi recounted the situation just reported by the 1st Army Headquarters from beginning to end, and finally said: "So, Your Excellency, Ping'an County is in dire jeopardy."

Chapter 468 Blocking

"Baga!" Kazuo Okamoto said angrily, "Sadae Inoue, that idiot, is he a pig's brain? Can't he even see such an obvious and clumsy trap?"

Miyano Michiichi did not go along with Kazuo Okamoto this time.

Because he doesn't agree with Kazuo Okamoto in his heart.

In fact, the double reed sung by the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army was not clumsy.

Even if Kazuo Okamoto was commanding the 69th Division, he would still be fooled.

It's just that Kazuo Okamoto is Kazuo Okamoto after all, and he soon calmed down again.

After pondering for a while, Kazuo Okamoto said: "Miyano-kun, immediately call the 26th Division, 63rd Division and 110th Division, and rush to help Ping'an County, Shanxi!"

"At the same time, order the Shanxi 1st Army."

"You must try to save yourself as much as possible."

"Especially the 69th Division, we must stick to it for more than two days!"

"Hayi!" Michiichi Miyano nodded heavily, turned and left.

……

Ping'an County is really in danger.

At dawn, the vanguard of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was already approaching the city.

In the thin morning light, one could clearly see the marching ranks of the Jinsui Army on the road outside the city, the dark infantry ranks extending several kilometers away.

This is only the Jinsui Army, and it is foreseeable that the Eighth Route Army will arrive soon.

Putting down the military binoculars, Inoue Sadae was almost remorseful.

Li Yunlong!Chu Yunfei!These two guys are really good at pretending and cunning!

Unfortunately, it is useless to regret now, the matter has come to this point, the only thing to do is to hold on as long as possible and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.

Inoue Zhenwei said in a deep voice: "Yamamoto-kun, have the reinforcements arrived yet?"

"Hayi." Ryo Yamamoto paused and said, "Just now, the headquarters has contacted. The 26th Division has moved south from Datong, the 63rd Division has moved west from Beiping, and the 110th Division has also moved from Shimen."

"In addition, the newly formed 62nd Division has also moved north from Taiyuan."

"The nearest is the 26th Division, which is expected to arrive before noon tomorrow."

Inoue Zhenwei hummed softly, and asked again: "Have all the guards at the outer bases withdrawn?"

"Hayi!" Ryoichi Yamamoto said with a pause, "Except for the farther-distance strongholds such as Xiji and Niuzhuang, the garrisons at the other nearby strongholds and the strongholds on both sides of the Tongpu railway line have withdrawn."

"Currently, the garrison in Ping'an County has exceeded 4000 people."

Inoue Sadae breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. With [-] Japanese troops, the military strength was not so tense.

At least there should be no problem holding on until noon tomorrow, after all, they have Fortified City as a barrier.

And as long as you stick to it until noon tomorrow, and until the main force of the 26th Division arrives, you will be safe.

……

Special agent company commander Liu Darong came to Li Yunlong, stood at attention and saluted: "Commander, are you looking for me?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Battle of Ping'an is about to start, and the Shanxi devils and even the North China devils will definitely fight to the death for reinforcements."

"I'm not worried about the devils coming from Taiyuan and Beiping."

"Because there is the new second regiment in the direction of Taiyuan, and the new regiment in the direction of Beiping."

"As early as a few months ago, I made an appointment with Lao Ding and Lao Kong, so they will definitely stop it with all their might."

"What worries me the most is the devils going south from Datong. Originally, this was the territory of the 358th Regiment. The 358th Regiment would fight against us, but now the 358th Regiment is also attacking Ping'an City with the Lus, and there is no one to stop the devils in Datong. .”

"There are no other Jinsui Army troops nearby. Even if there are, it is impossible to have Chu Yunfei's mind."
