Chapter 143: Analyzing the Enemy's Situation
When the defenders of the Japanese puppet army in Shangdu were completely annihilated by Li Yunlong, the Japanese 3rd Division under the command of Matsui Shigen, who was rushing east from the direction of Guyang along the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, nearly 30,000 Japanese troops rushed towards Shangdu non-stop.
"Your Excellency General, there are only the 18th Infantry Wing and the 1st Infantry Brigade under the 2nd Independent Brigade in Shangdu County, which is guarded by less than 700 Imperial Army soldiers and a regiment of more than 1,000 Imperial Cooperative Army. Under the siege of Li Yunlong's seven or eight thousand men and horses, the defenders of Shangdu may not be able to hold out for long! ”
During the march, he received an urgent telegram from Kiyojiro Kamoto from the county seat of Shangdu to Matsui Ishone, and Kagesa Zhenzhao said to Matsui Ishone, who was standing on the side of the road and watching the devil soldiers of the Japanese 3rd Division on the march.
"I have strictly ordered all the headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 18th Infantry Wing of Kangbao's independent brigade to send north reinforcements, and Kangbao is only more than half an hour away from the county seat of Shangdu, and the rapid march can also reach Shangdu quickly! The troops of the two cities should cooperate with each other, at least they can block Li Yunlong's attack and entangle Li Yunlong's siege troops! Kagesa-kun doesn't have to worry! ”
Matsui Ishine pretended to wave his hand calmly, but only Matsui Ishine himself knew what was going on in his heart.
The new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong with more than 7,000 main forces rushed like the wind, which already made Matsui Shigen see that the mobile combat capability of the Eighth Route Army was very strong.
In terms of the usual training of the 3rd Division, it was generally the Japanese Army's Division A that chased the Chinese army in battle. Unexpectedly, he commanded the 3rd Division, and he was stunned to chase Li Yunlong's troops all the way north from Laiyuan to the north of the Great Wall and enter Guisui and other places, but he still couldn't touch Li Yunlong's main tail.
It is conceivable that the Eighth Route Army's mobile attack combat capability has already surprised Matsui Shigen.
Now, the county seat of Shangdu has been attacked by Li Yunlong's troops so quickly, and Matsui Shigen is in a hurry now, so he can only temporarily transfer the Japanese army stationed in Kangbao City to the north through the right of the Japanese puppet army given by Naosaburo Okabe to temporarily coordinate the various units of the Mongolian Xinjiang garrison army.
According to the distance between Kangbao and Shangdu, the reinforcements should have almost arrived in the county seat of Shangdu at this time!
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was a little worried, the combat power of Li Yunlong's unit had been demonstrated in the nameless basin of Daqingshan that completely annihilated and ate the 102nd Infantry Wing under the 51st Infantry Brigade under the 26th Division.
In terms of the strength of the Japanese puppet army in the county seat of Shangdu, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao felt that with the current strength of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong to attack Shangdu, Shangdu might be broken by Li Yunlong's troops within half an hour.
After all, it's not impossible!
It's just that Matsui Ishine said so, and Kagesa Zhenzhao can only remain silent.
However, just as the two old devils were chattering, a secret staff officer of a devil hurriedly arrived, rushed to the side of Kage Zuo Zhenzhao and whispered a few words.
Kage Satsuaki was taken aback after hearing this, and after taking the telegram handed over by the confidential staff officer of the devil who came to report the situation, he waved his hand to signal it.
After the devil's secret staff officer went down and retreated to the side, Kagezo Zhen Zhao stepped forward and whispered to Matsui Shigen: "Your Excellency, General, the battle report of Shangdu County!" Shang is lost! This is the farewell telegram of the captain of the Shangdu garrison brigade, Kiyojiro Gamoto! ’。
Matsui Ishine took the telegram handed over by Kagesa Zhenzhao and looked at it carefully, his palms were a little clenched, and his expression was gloomy.
"Waste, the defenders of Shangdu are all waste! Defend the city, at least give me reinforcements to the north in the direction of Kangbao! In about thirty-five minutes, I lost the county seat of Shangdu! Bagaya Road, a group of waste, the soldiers of the empire are guarding the city, can't they stop Li Yunlong's blow? ”
Matsui Ishine was finally furious and scolded unabashedly.
Kagezo Zhenzhao felt very helpless, Kangbao's reinforcements to the north did not arrive at Shangdu County in about half an hour, and in the farewell telegram, Kiyojiro Gamoto also informed him that it was because the Japanese army in the direction of Kangbao was constantly attacked by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army on the way north to reinforce him, and the reinforcements were blocked!
In order to reach the city of Shang, the Japanese army in the direction of Kangbao will need at least an hour or so.
At this time, the county seat of Shangdu had already not been reported, and at that time, Matsui Shigen also led the army to the city of Shangdu.
It's just that how could Li Yunlong wait for Matsui Shigen's main army to catch up to their rear?
Kagesa Zhenzhao waited quietly for Matsui Ishine to finish venting, and the old devil knew that Matsui Ishine would not be angry for too long.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, Matsui Shigen, who was venting his anger, calmed down, and then said to Ying Zuozhen: "The capital of Shang is captured by Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong will definitely not be able to stay in the capital of Shang for a long time." The headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Brigade belonging to the 18th Wing of the 2nd Independent Brigade Regiment, which was heading north from the direction of Kangbao, continued to move north, and could only find its own death. Send a report to the northern aid imperial army in the direction of Kangbao, and let them withdraw to Kangbao to defend it! If Li Yunlong led his troops south to attack Kangbao, they would be in trouble if they couldn't withstand it! ”。
"Understood, Your Excellency General, I will immediately send a telegram ordering Kangbao's reinforcements to retreat!"
Matsui Shigen then waved his hand, and asked a devil staff officer who followed him to take out the military map from his briefcase, unfolded it, pointed to the map and said to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao: "Ying Zuojun, do you think Li Yunlong will go south to attack Kangbao next, or will he continue to advance eastward, and after attacking Ma Qun and other places, continue to advance eastward into the mountains in the northeastern part of Zhiyin Mountain?" ”。
"It's hard to say! Your Excellency, General! ”
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao remained cautious, pointed to the map, and said, "Judging from the map, the Shang capital is located at the northern foot of Yin Mountain. The Shang capital was captured by Li Yunlong, after which Li Yunlong could continue to march eastward to attack the horses, and then continue eastward to rest in the northeastern mountains of Yinshan. Or after going south to attack Kangbao, go south along the road to Zhangbei, Zhangjiakou and other places, threatening the land of Gyeonggi in Guannai! Or maybe you can go north! It's all possible! The seven or eight thousand soldiers of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong have very strong mobility and are good at rapid marching in the mountains! If you want to distance yourself from us, you can still do it! ”。
"Now we are only about twenty minutes away from Shangdu! It was already throwing off its feet and rushing eastward, but all the units of the 3rd Division reported that the soldiers were exhausted from running and had to rest! Otherwise, the soldiers can't stand it! Matsui Ishine looked at the rapid march of the commander of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army who was hurrying away, and he was already a little loose, but he didn't say angrily.
Shadow Zhenzhao nodded, he had been chasing east from Guyang City for nearly forty minutes or so, even the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division were elite, and they were tired from running.
At present, it is not easy to keep the marching team a little consistent!!
"Your Excellency, what now?"
Matsui Shigen thought about it for a while, and said helplessly: "Order all departments to stop advancing, rest for ten minutes, and then continue to advance!" The army is already exhausted, and it can't be done! ”。
