Chapter 119: Divide the troops to pursue?
Immediately, Matsui Ishine ordered the main force of the 3rd Division to cross the Great Wall Pass and continue the pursuit.
At this time, Li Yunlong and others had already led the main force of the army to the south bank of the Xiyang River to rest for a while.
Fortunately, there are many woods on the south bank of the Xiyang River, and at least the troops can hide from the aerial reconnaissance of the devil's reconnaissance plane.
The buzzing devil reconnaissance plane whistling and shaking its wings flew back and forth over the Xiyang River, and then went to the woods on both sides of the Xiyang River at a low altitude to reconnoiter the main force of the new regiment for a long time, and then pulled up and flew to the east of the Yanghe River.
After the devil's reconnaissance plane flew away, the new regiment and the first battalion in the hidden woods got up.
"Regiment commander, the devil reconnaissance plane is gone! Looking at this situation, it is estimated that even the Japanese reconnaissance planes stationed in Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua, and Datong have been dispatched. This is already the third wave, with at least five or six reconnaissance aircraft in each wave. ”
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, walked quickly in front of Li Yunlong at this time and said in a condensed voice.
At this time, Li Yunlong had already summoned the battalion commanders and cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng, artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu and others to hold the next combat meeting, and he also nodded when he heard this.
Under such weather conditions, Matsui Ishine will inevitably mobilize nearby devil reconnaissance planes to dispatch aerial reconnaissance. Once you can find your own main force, you can lead the main force of your division to catch up according to the map, which is far more effective than blindly pursuing. After all, the weather was sunny at this time, which was suitable for the devil reconnaissance plane.
Matsui Ishone, there is no reason not to send a reconnaissance plane for aerial reconnaissance!
"Hmmm! I see it! This is to be expected! Now that the weather is improving, it is sunny and cloudless, and the reconnaissance plane of the devil is dispatched to our expectations! ”
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said calmly.
Then, Li Yunlong pointed to the military map spread out on the ground and said in a condensed voice: "At present, we have entered the Xiyang River Valley, turn a bay and go north along the river until it is interrupted and then turn to the west, and then we can attack the Japanese army in the Longsheng area. All the way north along the river, you can attack the devils in the Xinghe area! The big guys are all talking about it, where to fight? ”。
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, several battalion commanders began to discuss one after another, and some of them advocated attacking the enemy army in Longsheng, while others advocated that it was the devil who mainly attacked Xinghe.
However, Li Yunlong heard from everyone's discussion that Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion, both advocated attacking Xinghe. The remaining three battalion commanders, Ma Wenhai, the cavalry battalion commander, Sun Desheng, and the artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu advocated attacking Longsheng, these three people thought that Longsheng was just a small town, and the devils stationed in Longsheng Town were estimated to be only a few hundred, and it was one or two squadrons to die, which was easy to fight!
However, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, disagreed, so Li Yunlong motioned to Zhang Dabiao to explain the reason.
I saw Zhang Dabiao and then said: "Regiment leader, judging from the map, Longsheng is the closest to Fengzhen and Pingdi Spring. And judging from the previous battles we fought in these places, the devils in these two places are very strong. In particular, Fengzhen is very close to the northern part of Jinbei, and the devils stationed in Datong City are easy to go north and rush to Fengzhen to attack Longsheng in a hurry! The main force of Matsui Ishine, which we were chasing behind, was also less than an hour away from us, and once we encountered the main force of Toyojin and Matsui Ishine, the situation was very troublesome. It is better to concentrate forces, and after taking Xinghe, attack northward, dragging the main force of the 3rd Devil Division commanded by Matsui Ishine to continue to run north. ”。
"Continue north from Xinghe, and you will run to Yinshan!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said!
Zhang Dabiao pointed to the map and said, "Yes, regimental commander!" Take Xinghe and replenish the food and grass consumed. We are continuing north, into Yinshan. The Yinshan Mountains are continuous, and you can enter the mountains to drag the main force of Matsui Shigen away from Jin Province and Ji Province. When the time comes, we will be in the Yinshan area, maybe we can have a suitable fighter to find a chance to eat some of the devil troops commanded by Matsui Ishine. ”。
"Well, you're thinking about it right! Guisui City has part of the main force of the 26th Division of the Devils, and its strength is strong, if we attack Longsheng, the devils in Fengzhen will actually be easy to get reinforcements from the enemy army in Guisui. It's better to open the distance first and fight Xinghe first, drag the main force of Matsui Shigen to the north, and drag the main force of Matsui Shigen to death in the mountains and mountains around Yinshan! In this way, it can also make the main force of the devils in Guisui dare not easily go out of Guisui too much! Order all troops, after resting for ten minutes, continue to go north along the river and attack the devils in Xinghe County! ”
Seeing this, everyone knew that Li Yunlong had made a decision, and of course they responded: "Yes, head of the regiment!" ”。
In fact, everyone also knew that the main force of Matsui Shigen's 3rd Division, which was pursuing behind, was less than an hour away from their own army, and they had to dream a lot at night, and Li Yunlong and others did not have time to rest for ten minutes, and after the devil reconnaissance plane flew away, they immediately gathered along the river and woods and rushed north seven or eight minutes later, preparing to attack the enemy army in Xinghe.
At this time, when Li Yunlong and others led their troops to the north to prepare to attack the devils of Xinghe, they chased Matsui Shigen behind Li Yunlong and others, and at this time, they also led the main force of the devils of the 3rd Division to cross the Great Wall and march west along the Xiyang River.
Because Matsui Ishine led his troops north from the bank near the Great Wall Pass at the confluence of the Dongxiyang River, the main force of the 3rd Division led by Matsui Ishine could only advance westward along the Xiyang River.
"Your Excellency, the reconnaissance plane called, and there was no sign of the activities of a large group of new regiments along the Xiyang River! They have already conducted reconnaissance over the Dongyang River, and they have not found any signs of the main force of Li Yunlong's department for the time being! ”
Kagesa Zhenzhao found Matsui Ishine and reported that at this time, Matsui Ishine was commanding the devil divisions of the 3rd Division to advance westward along the Xiyang River.
Matsui Shigen took the telegram handed over by Kagesa Zhenzhao, and frowned: "Yaga Yalu, the reconnaissance planes are all eating dry rice!" Telegraph to them that there are more low-altitude reconnaissance points, otherwise they can see the large enemy forces hidden on the ground in the high sky? ”。
"Understood, Your Excellency, I will immediately send a report to the commander of the aerial reconnaissance!" Kagesa Zhenzhao was a little helpless, and Matsui Shigen was already chasing after a little tempered outburst.
After speaking, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao waved his hand and asked the devil staff officer standing behind him to hurry up and send a report.
And Kagezo Zhenzhao is standing with Matsui Ishine, looking at a spread out map of Suiyuan!
"Ying Zuojun, according to the resting place of the main force of Li Yunlong's troops that we saw at the foot of the Great Wall before, they are bound to find a way north from there and cross the Great Wall. However, because the 3rd Division had nearly 30,000 men and horses, and a large amount of grain and grass, we could only go north from the confluence of the Dongxiyang River and exit the Great Wall. It is estimated that we are already forty or fifty minutes away from Li Yunlong's troops! ”
Seeing this, Ying Zuozhen said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, if you chase like this, it will be too uncomfortable!" It is suggested that it is better to divide the troops to pursue! We now have nearly 30,000 troops in our hands, and we can divide our troops into several ways to encircle Li Yunlong's troops from different directions. Suiyuan is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only a few towns such as Fengzhen, Suiyuan, and Pingdiquan that can supply the grain and grass needed by a large number of troops. ”
