Once the Jinsui Army loses the main force of these five divisions, it will be much easier for the Japanese army to march westward in the future.

Of course, everyone knows that the Japanese army has a huge appetite. It is a small country that first swallowed the four eastern provinces of China, then wants to divide the Suiyuan region, and also wants to eat North China and annex China. Therefore, these five members of the Jinsui Army

The division was not considered very appetizing in the eyes of the Japanese army.

The Japanese Army Staff had a plan years ago to eliminate the three main divisions of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in one month and open up their path to the west.

But this plan was quickly aborted because of Zhao Zhiguo!

Now there are five divisions of the Jinsui Army and a cavalry regiment around Pingcheng. When the Japanese Army Staff learned the news, they were overjoyed.

Although the Japanese army did not receive intelligence at the beginning that there were five divisions near Pingcheng, it was not too late for them to know now.

Masao Murano ordered the troops to assemble. He decided to personally take a brigade and a cavalry brigade to Pingcheng to eliminate the five divisions of the Jinsui Army and make him famous in the history of the Japanese army.

But Masao Murano issued a very strange order, that is, wait for the troops to set off after dawn. Perhaps he wanted the troops to maintain maximum combat effectiveness to reach the Pingcheng front line, and wanted to avoid an ambush by the Chinese army at night and cause them unnecessary losses.

, but he never thought whether the troops in Pingcheng could hold on.

It was almost equal for both sides. Commander Liu made a mistake, which made the five divisions of the Chinese army very passive. Masao Murano made a mistake, which made them feel helpless to Pingcheng.

"Da da da"

"Boom boom boom"

In the second half of the night, everyone survived the scorching day and the first half of the night, and finally took advantage of the coolness to doze off and enter their dreams. However, the sound of gunfire and explosions quickly brought them back from their dreams to reality.

"The fight started!"

Chu Jie was more energetic than anyone else. The moment he heard the gunshots and explosions, he had no worries in his heart and his eyes were full of excitement. At this moment, he wanted to fight more than ever.

Zhao Zhiguo had already slept, but he kept his clothes on and still held the rifle in his arms.

"It seems that the little devil is not that good as a detachment leader!" Zhao Zhiguo yawned and said lazily, "His mental quality is too poor. Did he become the detachment leader through the back door?"

"Don't talk sarcastically here. It's just these two thousand Japanese troops that caused heavy losses to our troops."

The Japanese troops in the city were able to inflict a thousand casualties on their division in one afternoon. In Zhao Zhiguo's eyes, such Japanese officers were not very good.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't say anything. He knew that nothing he said at this time would be considered bragging.

"Da da da"

After a few minutes, the gunshots began to move eastward, indicating that the Japs had successfully broken through.

"Reporting to the commander, approximately one thousand Japanese troops broke out of Pingcheng and approached the direction of the 69th Division."

"Order our troops to search the city immediately. We must not let a single Japs go, and then establish a position at the city gate. We must not allow the Japs to enter the city after returning."

The little devil finally left Pingcheng, and Chu Jie didn't want the little devil to come back again.

There were remnants of the Japanese army in the city, but most of them were wounded. The Japanese army left a small detachment behind to protect them.

Although the remaining Japanese troops in the city were nothing to fear, they still cost the Chinese soldiers dozens of casualties.

The thousand Japanese troops who rushed out of the city marched eastward in the dark and ran into the ambush of the 69th Division.

"Da da da"

"Bang bang bang bang"

The fierce firefights played a symphony of Japanese death around Pingcheng.

After Chu Jie gave the order, he felt itchy in his heart and pulled the very reluctant Zhao Zhiguo up to the city gate building, listening to the gunshots outside with his ears raised.

"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard a commotion outside the city, and flags fluttering in the air, but it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima..."

In the dark night, Chu Jie couldn't help but sing the Peking Opera Empty City Strategy.

"Recover Pingcheng, you will be the first to take credit!"

After singing, Chu Jie gave Zhao Zhiguo a bear hug, as if to express his gratitude to Zhao Zhiguo.

"It's just a fluke. If it were a Japanese officer with a stronger psychological quality, I'm afraid it would be them who would be defeated."

"I hope we can have this kind of luck a few more times, so that the Japanese army won't dare to invade," Chu Jie said.

"The Japanese army will definitely not give up. It is estimated that their large forces have already come to Pingcheng, and there may be a fierce battle next."

Without the troops in Pingcheng, Pingcheng may be lost again at any time if they do not rearrange their defenses.

"Well! Indeed, we can't get too carried away. The leader of the 352nd Regiment has died. The whole regiment can still move together, that is, there are only 400 people. You can be the leader and your regiment is a reserve team! Take advantage of the opportunity

Before the large Japanese army attacks, I have to discuss with several other division commanders the issue of assisting in the defense of Pingcheng."

Although the five divisions lost a lot of troops, they could not all be deployed in the city.

For the sake of a small Pingcheng, their troop losses were five times that of the Japanese army. If not for Zhao Zhiguo's plan, they might have suffered even greater losses.

The battle outside the city was over. The 69th Division failed to wipe out all the Japanese troops who broke through. There were still more than 200 little Japs who broke out of the ambush and disappeared into the night.

Pingcheng was in chaos all night, and neither the people nor the soldiers slept well.

According to the results of the discussion, the Sixty-eighth Division and the Sixty-ninth Division were stationed in Pingcheng, and the remaining three divisions, two divisions, were deployed on the flanks outside Pingcheng, and one division was deployed in front of Pingcheng to welcome the large Japanese troops at any time.

In the city, five division commanders established a joint command headquarters and sent a telegram to Yan Laoxi, requesting further military support.

After the two hundred Japanese troops who broke out of Pingcheng escaped back, they reported the situation in Pingcheng to Masao Murano.

Knowing that Pingcheng had been retaken by the Chinese army, Masao Murano did not order to stop the march. Tens of thousands of troops had been mobilized. Now the arrow had to be fired, and Masao Murano was confident that he could advance Pingcheng's five divisions from the front.

The main force of the Sui Army was wiped out.

In Pingcheng, we returned to the original division headquarters of Lu Ziming. Commander Zhang once stayed here. Now it is a mess and there are no guards around.

"Gaocang, collect Lu Ziming's troops scattered in the city, count them one by one, and add them to our troops."

When the Japanese army attacked, Lu Ziming left his troops and fled. Most of the soldiers in the city fled, and some hid.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't care whether these people had the will to fight. If Yan Laoxi didn't send more reinforcements to Pingcheng, he would have to find everyone who could hold a gun to defend Pingcheng.
