"Let alone the 37th Division, even if the 3rd Division comes, they can't even think of breaking into Ping'an County!"

The 37th Division is only a second-class division, while the 3rd Division is an A-class division, and it is also a standing division. It is one of the most powerful divisions in the Little Devils.

Li Yunlong is also very powerful now, so he has such confidence and dares to say such things.

This was not because Li Yunlong was deliberately telling lies. The New Regiment had regained Ping'an County for some time.

During this period, in order to prevent the Japs from counterattacking, the Eighth Route Army also made full preparations.

A lot of fortifications have been built inside and outside the city, and with Li Yunlong now personally guarding the city, the Ping An County town is naturally impregnable.

Blind Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "You must be awesome!"

"Then we will withdraw first?"

Li Yunlong reminded: "Even if you are retreating, you still have to put on a show first!"

"clear!"

Cheng Xiazi agreed with a smile.

Li Yunlong came close to Cheng Xiazi's ear again and whispered a few words.

Blind Cheng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You still have more clever ideas. I know, just take a look!"

That afternoon, the Japs launched another attack on Beiling.

As before, there was another fiercer artillery fire attack. The entire Beiling position was almost completely destroyed, and the mountain was basically turned into a piece of scorched earth.

The reason why Li Yunlong gave up the Beiling position was because he thought that the defensive position had been basically destroyed by artillery fire and it would be too difficult to hold on, so he might as well give up.

Then a large number of little Japs screamed and rushed towards the Beiling position like a group of mad dogs.

The soldiers guarding the position had quickly prepared for battle, with their black muzzles aimed at the approaching Japs.

These little devils, while charging forward, kept firing. Bullets kept falling on the Eighth Route Army position, throwing up pieces of dust.

When the little devil entered the optimal shooting range, following the commander's order, the soldiers aimed at the little devil and pulled the trigger.

"Da da da!"

A burst of gunfire rang out, and bullets were fired at the little devil like raindrops.

"Puff puff!"

Gorgeous snowflakes bloomed in the sky, and amid the shrill screams, a large piece of the little devil who rushed in front fell instantly.

The leading Japanese Major, brandishing his saber, shouted loudly: "Concentrate firepower and shoot!"

"Suppress the enemy's firepower and continue charging!"

"Kill me!"

Under the command of the Jaap major, the little Japs fired back violently while continuing to rush towards the top of the mountain.

The Japanese also mobilized a large number of machine guns and aimed at the top of the mountain to fire.

There were also some grenade launchers, which also took the opportunity to be placed in suitable positions and began to throw grenades towards the top of the mountain.

Under the fierce firepower of the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army's firepower was gradually suppressed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the little devils continued to rush towards the top of the mountain quickly.

"Grenade!"

Seeing the little Japs approaching, the commander shouted an order.

Following his order, the soldiers took out grenades and threw them at the little devil.

A swarm of grenades flew out of the position instantly, sending out black smoke like rain, and fell into the crowd of little Japs one after another.

"Boom! Boom!"

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the little devil was immediately thrown off his back and killed and injured.

Even so, the Japs continued their onslaught.

Then the soldiers fired a hail of grenades again, which made the little Japanese dizzy.

At this moment, what the little devil didn't know was that the soldiers on the position had already begun to retreat in an orderly manner.

The firepower was getting weaker and weaker, and not all of them were suppressed by the little devils.

But because many people have already withdrawn, since they have already planned to abandon their positions, Cheng Xiazi will naturally not waste any more time.

Taking advantage of this Japanese attack, they prepared to perform this last act and withdrew from the position.

The fierce battle lasted for about half an hour, and now the gunfire on the position was getting weaker and weaker.

There are even fewer grenades.

At this moment, Hirata Kenkichi, who was watching the battle from a distance, frowned slightly.

"Have you seen that the enemy's firepower suddenly weakened?"

A Japanese officer next to him said: "Your Excellency, division commander, I think they are running out of ammunition."

Hirata Kenkichi shook his head and said to himself: "I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Another Japanese officer said: "In any case, the enemy's firepower has been suppressed, and our troops will rush forward soon."

Hirata Kenkichi nodded noncommittally and didn't say much.

At this time, some Japs had already rushed to the position on the top of the mountain. The Eighth Route Army soldiers had basically evacuated the position on the top of the mountain and were retreating along the trenches towards the bottom of the mountain.

More and more little devils rushed to the top of the mountain, and a disgusting plaster flag was finally planted on the North Ridge.

At this time, a Japanese lieutenant colonel said excitedly: "We are attacking! We have occupied Beiling."

Hirata Kenkichi turned his head and glared at the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel. Seeing Hirata Kenkichi's unkind expression, the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel was so frightened that he shut his mouth obediently and quickly took a step back.

"snort!"

Kenkichi Hirata couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "What's there to be happy about?"

"The imperial army paid such a heavy price to capture a small Beiling. Isn't it glorious?"

Kenkichi Hirata's words made all the little devils present lower their heads in shame. For them, such a victory was really nothing to show off.

A Japanese officer said cautiously: "Hai! What the division commander taught you is that capturing Beiling is equivalent to opening the door to Ping'an County."

"If we can gather and annihilate the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Ping'an City, we can avenge our shame."

"吆西!"

Hirata Kenkichi nodded slightly and said: "Now we have no other choice but to do our best to capture Ping'an County and eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

At this moment, a large number of Japs rushed to the Beiling position.

Then these little devils climbed over the top of the mountain and continued to chase down the mountain.

At this moment, a series of violent explosions sounded.

"Boom! Boom!"

There were violent explosions in succession, and patches of fire shot up on the hillside.

I saw those little Japs who were chasing me down, and they were immediately knocked over by the explosion, leaving many dead and injured.

The little devils behind were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to continue the pursuit. They just hid on the top of the mountain and fired with guns for a while.

But the retreating soldiers had already taken the opportunity to retreat to a safe place, and the little devil's move was just a waste of bullets.

When Tanaka Jingyi saw this scene, he couldn't help but cursed: "Baga Yalu, these Tubal Roads are really cunning."

The old devil felt that something was not right, and suddenly said: "Do you think the enemy army deliberately abandoned Beiling, or was it really unable to withstand the imperial army's attack?"

The little Japanese officers on the scene suddenly heard this question, and they were all stunned. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they didn't know how to answer this question.

Tanaka Shizuichi continued: "These Tubal Road are too cunning. If they abandon Beiling, will they further abandon Ping An?"

A Japanese officer nearby said quickly: "Your Excellency, division commander, their main force is gathering here, and they should not abandon Ping'an County at this time."

"snort!"

Tanaka Jingyi snorted coldly and said: "These guys are so cunning, who knows if they can play tricks?"

"Who knows their true intentions?"

A Japanese officer next to him asked: "Your Excellency, division commander, what about us now?"

Tanaka Shizuichi sighed helplessly and said, "I just said, we have no other choice now."

"Immediately pass the order and order the engineering troops to clear the mine array as soon as possible, and then prepare to attack the city."

"Hai!"

A Japanese officer next to him responded respectfully and turned around to convey the order.

Tanaka Jingyi turned around and looked at the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel next to him, and asked: "Is there any latest news?"

The Japanese lieutenant colonel replied respectfully: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, according to the news from the Army Aviation, the main enemy force should not have arrived in Ping'an County yet, at least they have not entered the city."

"That is to say, there are not too many enemy troops in the city now."
