Chapter 293 Ding’s Birthday Wishes!
Hearing what the staff officer beside him said, Ding Wei instantly became alert.
"What else happens?"
"The soldiers on the front line reported that the Japanese soldiers seemed to have no intention of fighting, and only when they encountered sufficient resistance from our small local troops did they immediately withdraw from the battle.
He immediately made a detour, as if he didn't want to have any contact at all."
The chief of staff briefed Ding Wei on the actual situation of the front-line troops.
Ding Wei frowned when he heard this.
His expression instantly turned serious: "It seems that something big has happened to Li Yunlong, otherwise the Japanese wouldn't be so desperate to advance towards Ping'an County.
Li Yunlong, ah Li Yunlong, what on earth did you do to anger God and the people that made the Japanese so crazy?
Could it be that Tian Huang’s daughter was harmed?
That's not possible."
When the staff officer heard the commander's words, he almost laughed out loud: "Commander, Commander Li can't really be so unreasonable, right?"
"Hey, don't tell me, there is nothing this kid wouldn't dare to do."
"Captain, is there a possibility that Ping'an County was attacked? But there is only one independent regiment there."
The chief of staff was surprised by his own idea.
"Only one independent regiment? You may have some misunderstanding about the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, right? Let me ask you, which of the independent regiment's achievements in the past six months has not made the entire Jin area tremble with fear?
Even the southwest was shocked!"
Having said that, Ding Wei seemed to suddenly realize something and turned around to take a look at the large military map hanging behind him.
"Staff Officer Li, don't tell me, there is nothing in this world that Li Yunlong would not dare to do! He only has one regiment now. If he had a division, he would dare to attack Taiyuan.
Besides, this guy was lucky enough to be detained by the Minister when he passed by the defense zone of his independent regiment.
Now Li Yunlong is equipped with incredibly powerful equipment.
You know what, Li Yunlong is really capable of using a regiment of troops to attack Ping'an County."
Ding Wei immediately issued an order: "Order the front-line troops to let the enemy cavalry go and stop the enemy infantry with all their strength. The second-line troops must intercept the enemy cavalry at Erdaohezi.
Do not allow the enemy to advance a single step!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Ding Wei's order, Staff Officer Li immediately went out to convey that a fierce blocking battle was bound to begin.
......
Ping'an County.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao felt a headache looking at the towering city gate tower.
Damn, this city gate tower is not easy to attack.
Nowadays, the firing of large-caliber howitzers requires artillery guidance. The telegraph operator has not arrived yet, and the few guns in hand are simply unable to break through the heavy city gate.
"What the hell should I do?"
Li Yunlong held a Mauser pistol in his hand and was extremely anxious as he watched the Japanese machine gun on the city wall spit out a series of bullets.
"Captain, how about we try a round with the 107 rocket launcher?"
"Didn't we just let them try it? This thing is very effective against the Japanese's manpower, but it's a bit difficult to attack the city gate tower.
Look at the potholes on the city wall, but the Japanese are still fearless.
At this rate, I have no doubt that we can use the 107 rocket launcher to take down the enemy's tower, but this will consume too much time and shells. "
Li Yunlong surprisingly explained so much.
"Captain, how about I lead the others to charge again?"
Zhang Dabiao became anxious and hot-blooded. He took off his hat and threw it to the ground, ready to charge again.
As a front-line commander, he knew clearly that if the Japanese reinforcements from behind broke through, the independent regiment would be faced with a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.
"How could you do such a thing, kid? Aren't you just a pure fool?"
Li Yunlong flatly rejected Zhang Dabiao's aggressive approach.
"Wait another half an hour. If our artillery support has not arrived, we will organize a strong attack! However, I believe that the friendly forces in other defense zones will definitely not sit idly by.
Let’s see what the Japs are doing first.
Oh, it would be nice if every unit had a radio."
At this time, Li Yunlong fully realized the importance of communication methods. The speed of information transmission will directly determine the outcome of a battle.
"Captain, I heard the Sixth Company Commander chat at dinner earlier, saying that after reconnaissance at the Xiaocaozhuang stronghold, he discovered that the Japanese had an easy-to-carry artillery shell.
Said it was Italian.
If we had been able to capture this cannon and bring it here, I think we could have knocked down the city gate with just one shell."
Zhang Dabiao said with deep regret.
"Alas, what's the point of getting anxious now? This Italian cannon is still safely in the Japs' Xiaocaozhuang stronghold. We have no chance of snatching it away.
Moreover, before and now we all believe in Lao Yu’s military technology. Do you think this Italian cannon can be compared with Lao Yu’s 155 caliber howitzer?
It doesn’t smell good at all.”
Li Yunlong was not interested in the Italian artillery at all. He believed that unless the translator was too far away from the front-line troops, the Italian artillery would not even have a chance to think.
......
The new regiment headquarters.
"Captain, should we ask our superiors for instructions?"
Ding Wei glared and said, "How can we catch up? Opportunities change rapidly and are fleeting. Do you want to fight by asking for instructions? You can't catch up with any of your dishes!"
"Captain, the problem is that if we fight like this, it will easily give a wrong signal to our friendly troops. They won't know what's going on and might even join the battle.
If this trend continues, it is estimated that things will soon get out of control.
Who knows if the headquarters will blame us in the future.
After all, the headquarters needs to consider the entire group."
Ding Wei stood in front of the map spread out on the table, looking at it carefully and deducing the various possibilities of the Japanese attack.
"If I had a radio, I would definitely ask the headquarters for permission, but we don't have one, right?" Ding Wei tried to explain to his comrades.
But no matter how much he talked, he was simply unable to convince the comrades around him.
Finally, Ding Wei said helplessly: "Rather than miss the opportunity, it is better to keep attacking. No matter what this group of enemies wants to do, even if they want to celebrate my birthday, they must not pass through my territory!"
"Yes!"
