Chapter 626: Takumi Matsuyama's Decision
Matsuyama Takumi's carelessness was finally in the Northern Liang, and the old devil regretted it very much, who would have thought that Li Yunlong's troops would actually ambush in the area of the Northern Liang.
With Matsuyama Takumi's order, the Japanese army continued to pursue with a small group of vanguard troops, and the main force was to pull a distance of at least three miles behind to ensure safety.
At this time, Duan Peng and Sun Desheng, who were responsible for luring the enemy, each took a special combat team and a cavalry company together, fighting and retreating, pretending to be the main force to attract the Japanese army under Matsuyama Takumi to pursue. It's just that although the small vanguard of the little devils stuck to them, the main force of the Japanese infantry in the rear was at least three miles away, so that soon both of them sensed that something was wrong.
"Old Duan, it seems that the little devil is very cautious, this small group of Japanese troops sticking to us is estimated to be less than two hundred. What to do? On the way to fight and retreat, Sun Desheng said solemnly to Duan Peng, and the horse pistol in his hand kept firing at the Japanese vanguard troops pursuing in the rear.
Duan Peng was the same at this time, but he quickly replied: "This won't work, you have to stop and fight." Fortunately, labor and management brought two mortars and set up artillery to bombard the small group of Japanese troops in pursuit. Old Duan, it's time for your cavalry company to make a move, make a roundabout side attack, we are here to eat this small force of Japanese troops pursuing us, and when the time comes, the main force of the Japanese army in the Matsuyama Takukai Department behind will not be provoked to pursue it! ”。
"That's a good idea! I agree! ”
Regarding Duan Peng's suggestion, Sun Desheng only thought about it for less than a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
Otherwise, let these two hundred small Japanese troops pursue them all the time, and pursue them to the North Liang until they cross the North Liang, and it will be troublesome. It was necessary to eat this Japanese army with mortar fire, and by the way, provoke Matsuyama Takumi and their main force to pursue.
At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese army, which was commanded by Matsuyama Takumi, had already stuck to the troops commanded by Sun Desheng and Duan Peng, and had been exchanging fire.
In the night, as Duan Peng personally led the soldiers of the special combat team to operate two mortars, he suddenly began to stop on the spot and launch an artillery attack on the vanguard of more than 200 Japanese troops in pursuit.
"Bang bang bang!" Mortar shells from the two mortars whistled out of the muzzles, and with a long tail flame, they flew conspicuously in the night sky to the Japanese troops of the more than 200 vanguard units of Matsuyama Takukai.
"Boom, boom!!!"
The shells landed and exploded, and the flames from the explosion illuminated the entire mountain road. The fragments of the explosion scattered in all directions, directly killing the little devil soldier who was hit.
Soon, the more than 200 Japanese soldiers who were pursuing were suddenly bombed by their arrogance. Although some Japanese soldiers continued to attack forward, at this time, Peng had already commanded the soldiers of the special combat team and some of the new infantry soldiers who lured the enemy to block the mountain road and counterattack on the spot.
"Haha, brothers, kill!" At this time, Sun Desheng, who had secretly detoured to the rear of the little devil's vanguard unit, immediately waved the cavalry of his cavalry company to carry out a counter-encirclement assault on the little devil in the rear.
All of a sudden, more than 200 Japanese vanguard units that were attacked from front to rear were beaten with heavy casualties. It took less than five minutes to quickly annihilate most of the Japanese army, and only a few little devil soldiers took advantage of the night to bypass Sun Desheng's cavalry pursuit, and fled to the main force of the Matsuyama Takukai Department at a distance of three miles from the rear.
Less than a minute after the battle ended, Sun Desheng pointed to Duan Peng and pointed to a few Japanese soldiers who had fled in the rear and said, "Old Duan, why don't you kid let my cavalry chase them?" As long as the war horses are running, they can catch up with those Japanese routs in a short distance! ”。
"This is to let Takumi Matsuyama know our strength, so that Takumi Matsuyama knows that we are our main force when we accidentally exchange fire with them. In this way, let Matsuyama Takumi make up his mind to continue the pursuit! Now, we just need a few Japanese troops to inform us of our strength just now! Duan Peng said to Sun Desheng slyly.
Sun Desheng is not a fool, he understood what Duan Peng meant as soon as he thought about it, and he thought about it.
So, the two led the troops and continued to lure the enemy to retreat.
At this time, the rout of several Japanese vanguard units that were let go quickly rushed to the main force of Matsuyama Takukai at a distance of three miles from the rear.
In fact, the fierce battle in front of Sanli had already made Matsuyama Takumi realize that something was wrong, and he was moving forward fiercely. But soon the gunfire of the battle had stopped, and as far as Matsuyama Takumi was concerned, the sound of artillery in the fierce battle in front of him indicated that it was at least likely to have caught up with the main force of Li Yunlong's army.
Sure enough, the Japanese army in front of the vanguard soon pursued the routed soldiers and fled back, only to see a few routed soldiers successively towards the Songshan Tuohai Rush Road, Li Yunlong's main force clone suddenly attacked fiercely, and some cavalry troops detoured to their rear to carry out front and rear attacks. Moreover, the other side also had mortars to carry out fierce shelling, and in less than five minutes, more than 200 imperial warriors were wiped out, and only a few of them escaped by luck.
At this time, Miyagi Takeru, the chief of staff of Shaozuo beside Matsuyama Takumi, said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Dazuo, this should be Li Yunlong's main force. At least their main force is likely to be hiding in the mountains of Da'an Mountain, do we ask for reinforcements in the direction of Beiping? The mountainous area of Da'an Mountain is very large, and it is not a problem to hide from tens of thousands of people casually. And now the weather is very cold, and it is night, even if we find the main force of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong, it will be difficult for us to surround them with the current more than 2,000 imperial troops. ”。
"It's too late, according to the enemy situation report of Utsu Gongzhi, the captain of the Changping garrison, the strength of the Eighth Route Army under the command of Li Yunlong is about one regiment. At most, that is, about 500 to 2,000 people together. And they attacked Nankou all the way, Juyongguan, Changping, it is impossible to have no casualties. What's more, if we ask for reinforcements from Beiping at this time, won't we catch up? Once the fighter plane is missed, it will be very difficult to catch up with the troops of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong! ”
After a pause, Takumi Matsuyama continued: "So, pass on my order, and the whole army will speed up the pursuit. Be sure to chase Li Yunlong's main force for a firefight and entangle them. So that His Excellency Commander Tada can send troops to reinforce us! Miyagi-kun, you immediately sent a report to Beiping, you have chased the main force of Li Yunlong's department, and asked to send troops to the Da'an Mountain area to reinforce us! ”。
"Hai, Your Excellency Dazuo, obey your orders." When Miyagi Takeru heard this, he paused heavily and said, what Matsuyama Takumi said was also right. At least in the current situation, once the main force of Li Yunlong's department is entangled in pursuit because of the darkness of the night, once they are disengaged from contact with their own main force, it will be troublesome to catch them when the time comes.
