The crisp system prompt sounded, Li Yunlong looked happy, and he already had an idea.

After the Lijia Town suppressed the rebellion, the mission was completed and an S-level gift bag was obtained.

At the same time, the system released a new mission to completely annihilate the enemies of Ping'an County and regain Ping'an County.

And this is an SS-level gift package.

In fact, Li Yunlong originally wanted to capture Ping'an County because its location was relatively remote.

The area around Ping'an County is the base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army. If Ping'an County is captured, this large base area will be completely connected.

It is equivalent to completely removing a big nail in the Taiyue area.

This is very beneficial to the development of the base area.

Ping'an County is backed by mountains and has terrain to rely on. It can be said that it is an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place.

If Li Yunlong takes Ping'an County, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, he can definitely hold on for a long time.

So Li Yunlong deliberately left Zhao Gang behind and asked him to help Chu Yunfei suppress the rebellion, but he came out with the main force.

The target was Ping'an County, because Ichiro Hirata carried out an encirclement and suppression campaign against the 358th Regiment and mobilized the defenders of Ping'an County.

A total of seven to eight hundred Japanese soldiers and traitors from Ping'an County were dispatched. Although they were not strong, they accounted for most of the enemy forces in Ping'an County.

Li Yunlong originally wanted to take advantage of the lack of defense in Ping'an County to launch a sneak attack on Ping'an County and capture Ping'an County in one fell swoop.

But what Li Yunlong didn't expect was that Ichiro Hirata, an old devil, suddenly retreated.

This not only completely failed Chu Yunfei's plan to eat Ichiro Hirata, but also affected Li Yunlong's plan.

Because the Japanese and traitors who left Ping'an County have now retreated and are on their way back.

After Li Yunlong cleared his mind, he said with a serious face: "We must not let this enemy return to Ping'an County."

"Kill them first, and then attack the county seat."

"Zhang Dabiao!"

"arrive!"

Li Yunlong ordered with a serious face: "Give me the order and the troops will immediately change their direction of march. Intercept the Japanese traitors and annihilate them outside the city."

"Then the troops will attack Ping'an County with all their strength. They must capture Ping'an County for me in the shortest possible time."

"yes!"

Zhang Dabiao responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Following Li Yunlong's order, the troops immediately changed their marching route and began to advance rapidly.

Thousands of elite troops quickly shuttled between the mountains.

The troops were marching very fast. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, Li Yunlong and others chose to take remote mountain roads.

However, the soldiers have become accustomed to this, and the high mountains and mountains feel as if they are walking on flat ground under these iron feet.

The troops were advancing rapidly, and during this time Peng ran up to Li Yunlong.

"Reporting to the leader, we just received the latest news."

"The enemy troops that attacked Ping'an County are now almost back to Ping'an County!"

"So fast!"

Li Yunlong couldn't help frowning and asked: "With our current speed, can we still intercept them?"

Duan Peng thought for a while and said, "Even if we can make it in time, we will probably reach the county seat soon."

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "Even if they arrive at the city gate, they must be annihilated outside the city. They must not be allowed to enter the city."

"If we can let the defenders in the city watch, we can kill their main force, which will also be a deterrent to them."

"Speed ​​up! Keep going!"

Under Li Yunlong's order, the troops continued to advance toward Ping'an County.

Finally, only three miles away from Ping'an County, the new regiment successfully intercepted the enemy.

The two sides immediately started a fierce battle.

The reconnaissance company, as the vanguard, arrived first and directly exchanged fire with the Japs.

This time it was not an ambush, but an encounter. Although the enemy army responded hastily, the fight was very fierce.

Soon the little devil discovered a problem, that is, the Eighth Route Army blocking the attack did not have too many troops.

The leader, Lieutenant Hatano, felt a little strange.

This group of Eighth Route Army soldiers must be too audacious. With such a small force, they dare to block them so blatantly.

He wouldn't be surprised at all if they attacked from secretly, or hid in the mountains for a cold shot or something.

But now they are brazenly confronting them with real swords and guns, which makes Lieutenant Hatano really hard to understand.

Who gave them the courage?

Although this Eighth Route Army is not weak in strength.

But after all, there are only so many people.

And he has nearly 200 little Japs and more than 500 puppet troops.

The troop strength was several times that of the Eighth Route Army.

Although Hatano couldn't understand it, it did not affect his command of the battle at all.

Realizing that there were not many troops on the opposite side of the Eighth Route Army, Lieutenant Hatano pulled out his command knife and loudly ordered: "Attack with all your strength, surround this group of Eighth Route Army who do not know whether to live or die, and destroy them all!"

"Kill me~!"

Following Lieutenant Hatano's order, the Japanese immediately launched a counterattack.

Although the puppet troops were not very effective in fighting, they were still fighting against the enemy. They also saw that the Japs had the upper hand, so they rushed over together with the Japs.

The battle suddenly became more intense.

There were only a few dozen soldiers from the reconnaissance company who rushed to block the attack, and they did not have heavy firepower.

After all, the little devil still has a heavy machine gun and a 60mm mortar.

Therefore, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company will inevitably suffer some losses, but the soldiers are following the order and doing their best to delay time.

Under the stubborn resistance of the soldiers, the Japs were unable to repel the Eighth Route Army for a while.

While the fierce battle was in full swing, the main force of the second battalion arrived immediately.

The second battalion commander shouted loudly: "Brothers~! Come with me! Kill these little devils."

Following the second battalion commander's order, the brave soldiers rushed out one after another.

The Second Battalion launched a counterattack against the enemy from the side, and the offensive was rapid and fierce.

The direction of their attack happened to be the ranks of the puppet troops.

Those puppet troops didn't have much fighting power. When they saw the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacking, they were quickly beaten back. If there hadn't been some little devils nearby to help stabilize their position, they would have been defeated long ago.

At this time, Lieutenant Hatano finally understood that he had encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

But Lieutenant Hatano was not afraid of this kind of head-on confrontation. What he was worried about was being ambushed.

But now the two sides are only fighting head-on, so even if they can't defeat them, they can retreat calmly.

But the performance of these puppet troops really made Lieutenant Hatano furious.

This old devil hacked to death a puppet soldier who was trying to escape, and shouted loudly: "Baga Yalu, please listen to me, anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will suffer the consequences."

These puppet soldiers also knew the ferocity of the little devil. This trick was indeed effective. Those puppet soldiers who wanted to retreat were so frightened that they immediately stopped.

Under the command of Lieutenant Hatano, the enemy troops began to shrink their defense lines, preparing to withstand the eight-pronged attack.

Li Yunlong stood on the top of a mountain, holding a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield.

"Order Zhang Dabiao to send a battalion of them to the west city gate and hide and wait."

"If the little devils in the city go out to support them, let them go out of the city, then intercept their retreat and eliminate them outside the city."

"yes!"

The orderly soldier responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Li Yunlong then ordered: "Order the third battalion to immediately outflank the enemy from the right wing, detour to the rear of the Japanese, launch an attack, and cooperate with the second battalion to eliminate the enemy troops outside the city as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Another messenger took the order and left.

Then Li Yunlong held up the telescope and looked at Ping'an County.

It's not far from the county seat, and you can roughly see the situation on the city gate building.

I could vaguely see figures flashing on the city wall, and I must have noticed that the enemy forces inside the city had discovered the battle outside the city.

After all, those who are only three or four miles apart and cannot hear the sound of gunshots and explosions are basically deaf.
