In the process of continuing the pursuit to the north from the victory pass, the 21st Brigade led by Seishiro Itagaki led the rapid march from the victory pass, and encountered the treacherous thunder arranged by Li Yunlong along the mountain road along the way.

This wave of treacherous thunder, the bombed Itagaki Seishiro had palpitations. Although the loss of Japanese soldiers was not many, it seriously hindered the pursuit of most of the Japanese troops.

When he received the second farewell telegram from Yoshikawa Uksuke and Ryotaro Sekiguchi, Seishiro Itagaki was already at least fifteen minutes behind Li Yunlong's main force.

"Yaga Ya Road, Yoshikawa Yousuke of Toyojin, what a waste. Relying on the strong city, the city was destroyed in less than eight minutes! Itagaki Seishiro pinched the farewell telegram sent by the Japanese army in Toyojin and scolded.

At this moment, the troops commanded by Li Yunlong, who captured Fengzhen, are bound not to stay in Fengzhen for a long time, and it is possible to go east, north, and west.

And once it was impossible to judge the next escape route of its main force, Itagaki Seishiro could only divide his troops to pursue.

Ueno, the chief of staff of the division on the side, said urgently: "Division commander, according to this telegram from Yoshikawa Yousuke, it shows that the imperial army in Fengzhen is probably full of casualties, and it has reached the last moment. Perhaps, Fengzhen has been lost now! He believes that Li Yunlong will not stay in Fengzhen for a long time, and according to the previous judgment, most of this person may still flee in the direction of Liangcheng. ”。

"It is not excluded that Li Yunlong led his troops to the northeast to flee to the Longsheng and Hexing areas! Baga, it is impossible to determine the escape route of this Eighth Route Army, and such a huge pursuit force of ours is bound to be dragged to death by Li Yunlong. Seishiro Itagaki let people spread out the area, and his mood suddenly stabilized, and he frowned at Ueno in a condensing voice.

At this time, in fact, both Itagaki Seishiro and Ueno Masashi knew that Li Yunlong commanded the Eighth Route Army of less than 1,500 people, which was the headquarters of the 21st Brigade that hung Itagaki Seishiro in pursuit.

It is estimated that the plan is to drag them to death, but Seishiro Itagaki doesn't want to continue the pursuit like this.

"What do you mean, commander of the division?"

Ueno, as the chief of staff of Seishiro Itagaki's confidant, seems to know what Seishiro Itagaki means.

"Divide your forces and pursue! We can't be led by the nose by the Chinese army, otherwise in this weather, the more than 7,000 warriors of the Imperial Army of our 21st Brigade are chasing more than 1,000 new regiment troops, aren't they exhausted from chasing? Moreover, the effect is not great. Itagaki Seishiro pointed to the two places north of the victory pass on the map, Toyo Town, and said in a condensed voice.

Ueno said solemnly: "Your Excellency the division commander, if you divide your troops to pursue, once you are on the way to pursue." If our forces are scattered, we will inevitably not be able to create a superiority in strength for Li Yunlong's troops, and I am afraid that we will have trouble in the future. ”。

"It is imperative to divide the forces to pursue, not to mention that we still have aviation to support! Ueno-kun, so that we will pursue Fengzhen and deploy our troops! I'm going to see what happens! Itagaki Seishiro looked at Ueno Masa, who seemed to disagree, and knew that it was not appropriate to divide the troops now, so he waved his hand and said.

Ueno was secretly relieved, then nodded and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。

Then, Itagaki Seishiro ordered the Japanese soldiers of two wings of the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division under his command to speed up the march and go north to Fengzhen.

******************

Just when Seishiro Itagaki secretly made a decision to divide the troops and speed up the north to Fengzhen.

At this time, the battle of Fengzhen had ended, and after the Japanese puppet army headquarters defending the city was completely annihilated, Li Yunlong commanded all units to clean up the battlefield and replenish the ammunition and guns consumed.

The fruitful results made Li Yunlong smile. Although there were not many Japanese puppet troops in Fengzhen, the captured enemy grain, grass and ammunition were still quite considerable.

But at the moment, in fact, the new regiment has passed through Gushan, and there is still the battle of Fengzhen at the mouth of victory, and there is no shortage of ammunition and guns in their hands. In the mountainous area near Fengzhen, there was a local armed guerrilla unit of the Eighth Route Army, although the number was not large, only more than 100 people, but Li Yunlong still ordered Zhang Dabiao and they to give them most of the guns and ammunition captured by the Japanese puppet army in Fengzhen.

After all, there is no shortage of ammunition and guns on their side.

At this time, Li Yunlong was in the squadron headquarters of Yoshikawa Yousuke in Fengzhen Castle, and held an emergency combat meeting.

I saw Li Yunlong ask Wei Dayong and Monk Wei to spread out the military map in the briefcase, and move his fingers on it.

"Brothers, now that we have captured Fengzhen, the next step is to attack Liangcheng to the west! According to the confessions of the captured prisoners of the Fengzhen Imperial Cooperative Army, the Japanese garrison in Liangcheng had two squadrons, and there was no Imperial Cooperative Army, and the total strength was between four hundred and five hundred people! Moreover, at present, according to the confessions of the prisoners of the Imperial Allied Army, Yoshikawa Yousuke, the devil, had already sent a warning to the Japanese defenders in the direction of Liangcheng in the last few minutes before he was killed. It is estimated that at this time, the Japanese army in Liangcheng has already strengthened the vigilance of the city. If we want to capture Liangcheng, it will be a little difficult. Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice.

He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, pointed to the military map and said, "Regiment commander, the situation is already not good. If we continue to attack Guisui City in the northwest direction after capturing Liangcheng according to the previous plan, it is estimated that the resistance of the Japanese army will be very fierce. If the war drags on for a long time, the more than 7,000 devils of Seishiro Itagaki who are chasing our ass behind will be overwhelmingly killed, and when the time comes, we will be really in trouble. ”。

"So, we're going to change the direction of the attack!"

Zhang Dabiao smiled: "Leader, do you mean that Liangcheng is not a big place?" ”。

"Liangcheng still needs to be fought, but it is not the main attack, but the division of troops to attack, to be precise, it is a feint to attack Liangcheng!" Li Yunlong smiled and pointed to the map.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, among which Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Regiment leader, do you mean to feint to attack Liangcheng, and the main force is to turn to other directions to attack?" It's just that, where is our main direction of attack? ”。

"Here!" Li Yunlong pointed to a place and said!

Everyone looked at the map one after another, only to see Li Yunlong's right hand pointing to a pass on the map on the Great Wall south of Liangcheng - Killing the Tiger's Mouth!

"Kill the tiger's mouth?"

Seeing that everyone was talking, Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, we have been starting from the Hengshan base for a long time, maneuvering for thousands of miles, and the troops urgently need to rest and recuperate. So, I have to go back to Shanxi to rest. However, at the moment, more than 7,000 Japanese troops of Itagaki Seishiro have been chasing us, so we must divide some troops to feint Liangcheng or other places to disturb Itagaki Seishiro's sight! ”。。

"What does the regiment commander mean to divide his troops and feint to attack other places? But we don't have a lot of troops! Among them, He Yongjie said out loud.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Liangcheng is a feint direction, among which Jining to the north of Fengzhen and Longsheng to the northeast must also be divided into feints!" ”。
