In the winding mountains of the Xing'an Mountains, the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, under the command of brigade commander Taketaka Yamato, rushed south along the dense forest sea.

"Click!!

The sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and the Japanese cavalry who escaped from Zhang Dabiao's encircling troops were only three horsemen.

"Report to the brigade commander, the cavalry who chased to the front by a detour was strangled by Li Yunlong's mixed infantry and cavalry. The cavalry routed and fled back to report that the enemy army we were chasing was Li Yunlong's main force, estimated to be more than 5,000 people! Their firepower is very strong, and a large force of cavalry and infantry is mixed to surround them, and if they don't run fast, I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated, and they will not be able to escape back and report to us!"

After inquiring about the rout of the ghost cavalry that had escaped, Ichisataro, chief of staff of the cavalry brigade, reported to Yamato Takeshi's solemn pause.

Taketaka Yamato also saw the miserable appearance of the defeated ghost cavalry who had escaped.

"Yo Xi, it's finally confirmed! It's a pity for one of my cavalry squadrons! Eight grid tooth road! Li Yunlong really has a hand! ”

Yamato Taketaka scolded and scolded, a cavalry squadron said that it was not much, but it was not much to say less, and it was killed by the other party in one fell swoop.

Only escaped back with three cavalry, indicating that the main force of the new regiment heading south was a real main force, not a decoy force.

"Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Your Excellency the General, informing us of the confirmation. In addition, immediately order all cavalry wings to quickly move south, and it is necessary to catch up with Li Yunlong's troops! Haha, not far from the south, there is Weichang County, Zhang San Battalion, Tang San Battalion, as well as Fengning, Chengde, Longhua and other imperial army garrisons and imperial army troops can be blocked. Li Yunlong is really arrogant, is this asking for his own death, thinking that if he moves along the Xing'anling Mountains, he will avoid our pursuit? It's ridiculous! ”

Yamato Taketaka sneered, and then waved his hand and ordered Ichisataro.

When Ichisataro heard this, he paused heavily and said, "Hai, brigade commander!" Humble duty understands! ”。

Subsequently, under the order of Yamato Taketaka, the devil cavalry units of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Cavalry Regiment rushed along the mountain road at the foot of the western foot of the Xing'an Mountains and chased all the way to the south!

What Yamato Taketaka didn't know at this time was that in the Awl Mountain, Li Yunlong had already deployed an ambush pocket array, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

When Yamato Taketaka was heading south, Matsui Ishone, who was resting in the Weijiatun area, soon received an urgent call from Yamato Taketaka.

"Yo Xi, the 4th Cavalry Brigade Yamato Taketaka sent an urgent telegram, which has confirmed that Li Yunlong's main force has moved south. It is estimated that it is very likely to attack in the direction of the paddock, is Li Yunlong going to attack Longhua and Chengde? ”

Matsui Ishine handed the telegram in his hand to Kagesa Zhenzhao, who was drinking coffee on the side, and said with a frown.

Chengde is the city of Rehefu, and it is close to the direction of Beiping. Once Li Yunlong really led his troops south to attack Chengde, this would also be a great shock to the North China Front of the Devils.

You must know that after Li Yunlong entered Juyong Pass from Huaiyuan before, he approached Changping and almost came to the city of Beiping.

If Matsui Shigen chases and chases Li Yunlong's troops to Rehe Chengde Mansion City this time, and once Chengde is lost, it will indeed cause Matsui Shigen's prestige to suffer a great loss.

However, at this time, Matsui Shigen's prestige had been greatly reduced, after all, in the process of commanding the 3rd Division to pursue the main force of Li Yunlong's division, he had lost more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 5th Brigade.

At this time, the work of cleaning up the corpses of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army that was killed in the Weijiatun area was not over.

After reading it, Kage Zuo Zhenzhao was also silent. The previous analysis of worrying about the other party's eastward march to Chifeng undoubtedly did not happen.

"Your Excellency General, it seems that Li Yunlong is really very bold. But according to the telegram sent by Taketaka Yamato, at this time they had already chased to the area not far from the county seat of the paddock. At this time, if the county seat of Weichang can send a garrison to intercept it, it can at least block the southward movement of Li Yunlong's main force! ”

Matsui Ishine shook his head and said, "At present, we can't expect the defenders of the enclosure to be able to block Li Yunlong's powerful force attack. The main force of Li Yunlong's army now has at least six or seven thousand people, and its combat strength has not weakened in the slightest. The terrain of the paddock county is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend. Moreover, according to the information in our hands, the imperial army in the enclosure has only one squadron and more than one battalion of the imperial army, and there are also some imperial forces, and the total strength will not exceed a thousand. With this amount of troops, it is difficult to hold the county seat! What's more, he pulled it out to block Li Yunlong's main force. ”。

"Your Excellency, General, you can order the imperial troops of Chengde and Longhua to go north at once. The combined strength of these two cities is at least two infantry brigades, and it is still possible to block and stop Li Yunlong's troops. What's more, the 4th Cavalry Brigade that pursued south had more than 3,000 cavalry, which was enough to entangle the main force of Li Yunlong's troops in the paddock, Zhang Sanying, Tang Sanying and other places, and hold on until our main force went south to encircle and suppress! Kagezo Zhenzhao suggested that Rehe is now defended by Japanese garrisons in major towns and cities, and it is still possible to assemble to stop the other party, at least it should not be much of a problem to delay Li Yunlong's main force.

Once Li Yunlong's main force can be entangled in Zhang Sanying and other places, the remaining main force of the 3rd Division will quickly move south, and Li Yunlong will be unable to escape.

When Matsui Shigen heard this, he asked the confidential staff officers around him to take out the map and staff them out in detail, then nodded and said, "Yo Xi, just follow Ying Zuojun's suggestion!" ”。

Immediately, Matsui Shigen turned his head and ordered to the confidential staff officer on the side: "Order to telegraph to Chengde, and the imperial defenders of Longhua and Longhua will immediately dispatch north!" In addition, we will telegraph our decision to the 4th Cavalry Brigade, and ask them to cooperate with the actions of the imperial army in Chengde and Longhua to the north, and do not ask them to exterminate Li Yunlong's troops now, as long as they drag Li Yunlong's main force to Tang San Battalion, Zhang San Battalion and other places! Hold on until our army arrives south! ”。

"Hay, Your Excellency." The devil's confidential staff officer received the order, and then left quickly to send someone to send a report.

And Matsui Shigen then said to a devil staff officer: "Order all troops to assemble immediately, go south, and drop quickly." ”。

"Hay, Your Excellency." The devil's staff officer slammed and the leader ordered.

Subsequently, Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenzhao, commanding the main force of the remaining infantry of the 3rd Division, left another two squadrons of 500 troops in Weijiatun to continue to clean up the corpses of the devil soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army who were killed in Weijiatun, and the rest of the infantry units gathered and quickly moved south.

However, since they had rested for at least ten or two minutes in Weijiatun, at this time, the remaining main force of the Japanese 3rd Division on the Matsui Shigen Road had already exceeded an hour's distance from the battalions of the new 1st Regiment commanded by Li Yunlong and others.

At this time, the 4th Brigade of the Cavalry of the 3rd Division was murderously informed of Matsui Shigen's reply, and learned that Matsui Shigen had telegraphed to Chengde that at least two Japanese infantry brigades in Longhua and more than 2,000 Japanese infantry had gone north, so he gave up his cautious attitude and ordered the main cavalry force to speed up and move south.
