From the Juzhu Mountain area, abandon the train, march along the railway line on foot, and march northward, more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division have already rushed to the south of San'in more than ten miles at this time.

More than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the Devil Regiment marched in a hurry, holding torches all over the place, stepping on the raindrops of the early morning to march northward.

Fujii Kamiya, the commander of the 77th Brigade's Devil Brigade, stood on the top of a small hill on the side of the railway, and commanded the Japanese troops to march forward in a hurry. The devil officer standing on the side was his brigade chief of staff, Yuichiro Yamazaki.

"Brigade commander, the military department called, ordering us to continue north, and we must recapture Datong before dawn!" At this time, Yuichiro Yamazaki had an extra telegram in his hand, and after reading it, he handed it to Fujii Kamiya and said it in his mouth.

Fujii Kamiya took the telegram and read it in less than half a minute, and the more he looked at the old devil, the more gloomy his face became.

"Map!!" After a few seconds of silence, Fujii Kamiya still waved his hand and said to a devil staff officer on the side.

After the devil staff unfolded the map and the other two devil staff officers illuminated the map with flashlights, Fujii Kamiya pointed and said, "At present, we are not far from Sanin!" After going north from San'in, you will arrive at Daiyue, and if you continue north, you can kill Huairen. According to the Imperial Army intelligence officers who remained in Huairen, there was no sign of the regular army of the Independent Brigade in Huairen. It shows that Li Yunlong's independent brigade is indeed a vital force of the imperial army that mainly attacked the main towns along the Tongpu Railway. As a result, we continued to move north at this time, and along the way we encountered only a small number of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, who were sabotaging the railways along the way, attacking our troops sporadically. It seems that it should not be difficult to continue north through Huairen. ”。

"Brigade commander, the independent brigade has captured Datong at this time, according to the military department's secret contact with the imperial army agents and intelligence personnel who are still hidden in Datong City, the main force of the independent brigade will enter the city to rest after capturing Datong. There is no sign of timely withdrawal from Datong! This is an opportunity for our department! But if the independent brigade withdraws from Datong to maneuver before the main force of our 77th Brigade arrives in Datong, it will be troublesome. Yuichiro Yamazaki said in a deep voice.

The independent brigade's operational policy has always been mobile warfare. After a successful blow and the annihilation of the living forces of the Japanese army, they will not control the captured danger for a long time and fortify the town, but withdraw in time. Yuichiro Yamazaki felt that this should be the independent brigade, afraid of being blocked in the city by the independent brigade and surrounded and annihilated by the elite troops of the Japanese army.

Hearing this, Fujii Kamiya nodded, the elite troops of the Japanese army were actually not inferior to the independent brigade. However, the independent brigade has always been dragging the Japanese reinforcements to death through maneuvering, which has made the elite strength of the Japanese army unable to give full play.

Now the Independent Brigade is still in Datong City, wantonly despising its own troops from the south. On the one hand, Fujii Kamiya felt humiliated, but on the other hand, he felt that this was an opportunity to show that the independent brigade seemed to be arrogant after a series of victories.

But thinking about it, Fujii Kamiya said: "I estimate that it should be the Independent Brigade that thinks that our 77th Brigade is still more than three hours away from them, and it will not arrive in Datong until dawn." Only then did I decide to rest in Datong. In addition, the imperial armies in Tianzhen, Gaoyang, Zuoyun and other places could not pose a threat to Datong. The victory pass in the north was also attacked and occupied by the independent brigade, and the imperial army south of Fengzhen could not attack Datong from the victory pass. In this way, the independent brigade will be arrogant, feeling that they will not feel much danger before dawn. ”。

Yuichiro Yamazaki nodded, looked at the Japanese soldiers running north on the railway, and said in a condensed voice: "So, brigade commander, let's continue north?" ”。

"Not bad!"

Fujii Kamiya ordered: "Order all troops, speed up, if we can kill Datong an hour in advance, an hour before dawn, we can definitely block the main force of the independent brigade in Datong City." Once successful, we will block the independent brigade in Datong City, or entangle them. After dawn, the Empire's warplanes will dominate the skies, and independent brigades without air defense, even if they are cavalry, will suffer heavy casualties from air strikes. ”。

"Hai, brigade commander, humiliate and obey!" Yuichiro Yamazaki paused heavily, and then hurriedly sent the devil staff officer who sent troops to carry out Fujii Kamiya's order.

With Fujii Kamiya's order, more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army continued to hold torches, accelerated their pace, and marched north. First Literature

In the darkness of the night, a fiery serpent struck north.

The guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, who attacked and sabotaged the railway along the way, also reported the situation of the 77th Brigade of the Devils to the independent brigade headquarters in the direction of Datong at any time through the few radio stations they had.

..............

Just an hour after the main force of the 77th Brigade of the Devil continued to move north, the men and horses of the 3rd Regiment of the 3rd Regiment of the Independent Brigade, which had previously sent troops to the west according to Li Yunlong's order, had withdrawn from Zuoyun. Zuo Yun's Japanese troops were annihilated by three regiments and one battalion, and after Zuoyun City was temporarily handed over to their own guerrillas who were fighting guerrillas near the city, the three regiments of this independent brigade withdrew to Datong City.

At this time, according to Li Yunlong's personal deployment and under the personal command of Duan Peng, commander of the special operations battalion, the remnants of Japanese agents and more than 10 intelligence personnel in the city were eliminated through the independent brigade's own unique radio interception equipment. The Independent Brigade seized several radio stations used by the Devil agents, and when the main force of the army was secretly moving south, it first cut off the communication channels for the Japanese intelligence officers in the city to warn the Devil 77 Brigade.

"Brigade commander, what about these captured devil intelligence agents?" In a courtyard in Datong City, Duan Peng, who was in charge of cutting off the remnants of Japanese intelligence in the city, pointed to the devil intelligence agents who were squatting on the ground in the courtyard and were aimed at by dozens of submachine guns around them, and reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong looked at it with a sneer and said, "For enemy intelligence agents, the international process is to carry out such as shooting. Let's kill it! ”。

"Understood, Brigadier Commander!" Duan Peng nodded, then waved his hand, signaling the surrounding soldiers to use submachine guns to kill all the captured devil intelligence agents.

And Li Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and didn't feel anything, and then returned to the temporary headquarters in the city.

More than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army have passed through San'in, and they are not far from Daiyue. In other words, after resting in Datong for more than an hour, the main force of the Independent Brigade should have secretly moved south.

"Order all troops to withdraw from Datong and advance south to the predetermined battlefield ambush sites on both sides between Maojiasoo Town and the north bank of the Kouquan River!" After Li Yunlong saw that everyone had arrived, he ordered with laughter.

"Yes, Brigadier !!" Everyone responded loudly, and after more than an hour of recuperation, the soldiers had recovered their strength and replenished their ammunition, and they were ready to fight at any time.

With Li Yunlong's order, the main force of the Independent Brigade, which had rested in Datong City for more than an hour, all went south and advanced towards the ambush site.

And after another hour or so, Fujii Kamiya led the 77th Brigade of the Japanese Army to the south end of the Quanhe Railway Bridge!

"Brigade commander, part of the railway bridge was blown up. If it is repaired, I am afraid it will take half an hour to an hour! Fujii Kamiya, who was waiting by the river, got a report from Yuichiro Yamazaki.

Fujii Kamiya looked at it and frowned, "Order the sappers to build a bridge, and we will cross the river!" ”。
