When the fighting broke out in Pingcheng, the soldiers arranged by Tian Kezhi had not yet left the city, but the people sent by Gao Cang to deliver newspapers to Tian Kezhi were blocked outside Pingcheng.

Hearing the intensive gunshots coming from the city, the soldier knew that something big had happened in Pingcheng. He looked at Pingcheng's closed gate helplessly, and for a moment he had no idea. If he went back now, he would come back again and again.

What a waste of time.

After hesitating outside the city for a few minutes, the soldier who delivered the message immediately had an idea. The 72nd Division also had two regiments, but they were not stationed in the city. Just like Wangxian, Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment were not stationed in Wangxian.

There must be telegraph machines in the headquarters of the other two regiments in the county seat.

A battle broke out in the city, and the other two regiments of the 72nd Division naturally received the news, but they did not dare to mobilize their troops at will without orders from the division headquarters. Moreover, they did not know who was loyal to whom among the troops fighting in Pingcheng.

, take action rashly, if the rebels are not hit, and start a fight with their own people first, wouldn’t the rebels reap the benefits?

So after analyzing the relationship, the two regiment leaders decided to stand still. No matter who fought with whom, the two sides would always have a winner. When the troops in the city were both injured, it would not be too late for them to help.

However, just as the two regiment leaders were making small calculations, an even worse news came. The Japs' frontline troops suddenly advanced twenty kilometers towards Pingcheng. The two regiments outside Pingcheng came directly with the Japs.

After a face-to-face meeting and a meal, the little devils were able to charge into their position.

The two regiment leaders were completely panicked and fought in Pingcheng. Before they could figure out what was going on, the Japs were aggressive again, so the two regiments had to keep an eye on the Japs first.

Fortunately, the two regiment commanders were quite up to par and did not order a retreat, otherwise the Japs would have captured Pingcheng without a single blow.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a battle broke out with the Japanese army at any time, and the division headquarters could not be contacted. They could only send a telegram to Bingzhou for help, hoping that the commander-in-chief would send them additional reinforcements.

At this time, Master Liu was still on his way to Bingzhou, and he did not have a telegraph machine with him, so he knew nothing about what happened in Pingcheng!

In this era where communication relies entirely on shouting and transportation relies on walking, once a commander leaves his unit and there is an emergency in the unit, the commander's eyesight will completely darken and he will not know anything.

Those two regiment leaders were quite smart and knew how to contact Bingzhou. If they met two unreliable regiment leaders and Pingcheng was lost, Yan Laoxi probably wouldn't even know about it.

After Bingzhou received the news, they sent the telegram to Yan Laoxi's office without stopping. At this time, Chu Jie was still staying with the commander-in-chief.

"Something big happened!"

After seeing the telegram, the commander-in-chief was so dizzy that he almost fainted. Chu Jie was also shocked when he saw the news. Such a big thing happened just after Commander Liu left Pingcheng.

However, Chu Jie was still calm and directly picked up the phone and called Zhao Zhiguo's regiment headquarters, asking Zhao Zhiguo to lead troops to support Pingcheng.

"Everyone, gather urgently, bring weapons and ammunition, and set off towards Pingcheng at full speed."

Zhao Zhiguo had just issued the order, and then received a telegram from a regiment headquarters under the 72nd Division. This telegram was sent by the soldiers sent by Gao Cang to Pingcheng, and it was the same as Chu Jie's order.

One was Chu Jie's order, and the other was the information passed back by his own soldiers, which made Zhao Zhiguo even more convinced that the situation in Pingcheng was very critical.

"Captain, I heard that the Japs are out?" Gao Cang had already ordered the troops to set off.

In the team, Zhao Zhiguo and his two battalion commanders were riding horses, urging the troops to speed up their march.

"The kid didn't take action. He was just putting pressure on the defenders outside Pingcheng to prevent them from supporting the city. If Pingcheng is really completely occupied by the rebels, the Japanese army may take action forcefully."

The Japanese army is also a guy who can't afford to go early if there is no profit. They also decide whether to take action based on whether the situation in Pingcheng is beneficial to them. If it is profitable, they will use military means. If they don't get what they want,

In terms of interests, once the battle evolves into a large-scale fierce battle, it is better to maintain the current status.

Now that Pingcheng has been reduced to a mess, there are not many soldiers who are really willing to work as lackeys for the Japs. Most of the soldiers were just deceived by their regiment commander. From the beginning of the battle, most of the soldiers in the regiment only thought that the real rebel was

The people in the division headquarters, not their regimental commander, were the ones who helped the evildoers.

"Commander, the rebels must have closed all the city gates. How do we enter the city?" Gao Cang asked.

Now that the rebel leader has decided to defect to the Japs, he will definitely do everything possible to cut off Pingcheng's connection with the outside world. In order to speed up the march, Zhao Zhiguo did not bring any heavy machine guns with them. They only had light weapons, so it would not be easy to break into the city.

"There is Tian Kezhi in the city and a group of special force soldiers, let them meet us!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

At this time, Zhao Zhiguo was lucky. He asked Chu Jie for another batch of submachine guns and pistols and sent them to Zuixiang Tower. Although the quantity was small, it was enough to equip this group of soldiers.

"I'll leave the troops to you. Try to reach the outskirts of Pingcheng within twenty hours! After arriving, fire three red flares and I will be responsible for opening the city gate for you."

"Commander, let me go!" Gao Cang said, "You are the commander, you should stay and command the troops."

"Can you climb over the city wall and enter the city to contact Tian Kezhi and the others?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"I..." Gao Cang stuttered.

Zhao Zhiguo smiled: "Lead the troops well. If we are late, Pingcheng will not be protected."

"drive!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhiguo kicked the horse in the belly, causing the horse to gallop all the way towards Pingcheng.

When Gao Cang saw Zhao Zhiguo leaving, he immediately rode on his horse and gave the order to the troops: "The troops should speed up. It doesn't matter if they mess up the formation. We will assemble when we get to the place!"

Following Gao Cang's order, the soldiers began to speed up like wild horses that had escaped the reins. The troops did not care about formation, only about speed. This was a battle against time.

At this time in Pingcheng, it was a torment for everyone. The besieged spy battalion and reconnaissance battalion, plus the headquarters of the 72nd Division, were counting the few ammunition in their hands, not knowing that they were

How long can we hold on? The telephone lines within the division headquarters have been cut off, and the telegraph machine has been destroyed, making it impossible to send any news out.

The rebel commander was even more tormented. He did not expect that the secret service battalion and the reconnaissance battalion were so capable of fighting. They attacked as a regiment for two hours and still did not get closer to the division headquarters. The rebel commander also had to divide his troops to garrison the city gates and
