Chapter 136: The Enemy Arrives
Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the road leading to Guyang, the troops under the command of Li Yunlong marched towards Guyang.
"Regiment commander, enemy aircraft!" In the marching procession, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion who was walking with Li Yunlong, had sharp ears, and suddenly heard the roar of enemy planes coming from a distance!
Li Yunlong had long been accustomed to the aerial reconnaissance of devil fighters, so he had long trained his troops on how to conceal themselves at any time during the march to prevent them from being discovered by enemy planes.
"Follow the usual training movements, pay attention to concealment!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand calmly and said!
Zhang Dabiao nodded, and then with a wave, several heralds around him had already given orders everywhere, and soon the units of the new regiment of the rapid march quickly left the road and lay down and hide in the woods and depressions on both sides of the road!
The soldiers of the new regiment in the marching ranks were covered with branches and weeds on their clothes, and as long as the soldiers lay down on the spot and hid, the devil reconnaissance planes in the air would not be able to detect the activities of the troops on the ground.
Soon, under the eyes of Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong, Shen Qun and others, the roaring sound from the southeast high in the sky was getting closer and closer.
Three Japanese reconnaissance planes carried out reconnaissance along the highway leading to Guyang, resisting from time to time and strafing them.
It's just that the training of the men and horses of the new regiment is well concealed, and even if they are swept by the aviation machine gun of the little devil reconnaissance plane, not a single soldier shouts out in pain, but endures it to the death.
Two or three minutes later, when the three reconnaissance planes of the devils saw that there was no sign of large troop activity on the road, they shook their wings and continued to fly toward Guyang City in the northwest direction.
After the devil reconnaissance plane flew away, the troops continued to get up from both sides of the road and continue to march!
"Regiment commander, the devil reconnaissance plane flew in the direction of Guyang. It seems that he has received orders from the senior commander of the devil! Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said in a condensed voice.
The little devil's reconnaissance plane flew towards Guyang County, and it seemed that Matsui Shigen had already guessed the next attack direction of the new regiment?
But thinking about it, Zhang Dabiao was also relieved, as long as Matsui Shigen was not a fool, he should be able to guess the next attack direction of the new group!
"Hmm!"
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "It seems that these devil reconnaissance planes were definitely ordered by senior devil officers to conduct reconnaissance along the way!" It's time for Matsui Ishine to arrive at the Nameless Basin! By the way, did our reconnaissance team that lurked on the edge of the unnamed basin and covertly observe it come back? ”。
When evacuating the Nameless Basin, Li Yunlong also left several soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment to carry a radio station to observe.
Once the main force of the Japanese 3rd Division under the command of Matsui Ishine arrived in the Nameless Basin, and once it withdrew from the Nameless Basin to the north to pursue it in the north, it was necessary to send a report to the large army in time when Matsui Ishone led his main force north!
It stands to reason that there should be an emergency call at this time!
Without waiting for Zhang Dabiao to answer, saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, a signal soldier with the army ran from behind Li Yunlong, "Report to the regiment commander, an urgent call has been sent from the hidden reconnaissance team in the direction of the Nameless Basin!" ”
Li Yunlong took the telegram handed over by the communications soldier, looked at it carefully, and laughed in less than half a minute, and said to Zhang Dabiao: "Da Biao, take a look!" Matsui Ishine led the devils of the 3rd Division to the nameless basin, and saw the countless devils in the basin shouting angrily, and the scout soldiers who were lurking and observing saw it! Now, Matsui Ishine has led the main force of the 3rd Division to the north! It seems that Matsui Ishine has already judged our intention to go north to Guyang! At this time, he had withdrawn from the nameless basin and went north to chase after him. However, according to the time when Matsui Ishine led his troops to withdraw from the nameless basin and go north, Matsui Ishine's main force is at least half an hour away from us! ”。
"Captain, half an hour is a bit short! Once we attack Guyang for a long time, it will be very troublesome! ”
Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said a little worriedly, the second battalion commander Shen Qun, the third battalion commander Ma Wenhai and others on the side also nodded, Zhang Dabiao was worried well!
It is impossible to take Guyang in half an hour, and the devils behind are nearly 30,000 chasing soldiers, and they are the devils' A division, and there must be a cavalry wing in its department. If Matsui Ishine had sent a cavalry wing to chase after him, the situation would have deteriorated for the army.
"Monk, map!"
Li Yunlong didn't talk immediately, but just waved his hand and asked Wei Dayong, the guard next to him, to take out a military map from his briefcase and spread it out in front of everyone, and temporarily start a discussion.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "At present, we are less than ten kilometers away from Guyang, and the cavalry battalion that has arrived in Guyang before the main force of the army has gone north to conduct reconnaissance, and it is time to send someone back to report the current situation to us!" Signal troops, send a report to the cavalry battalion, and let them report the enemy situation in Guyang! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" The on-call signal soldier immediately replied, and then hurried away to deliver the report.
Li Yunlong turned his gaze to the map spread out in his hand in front of him again, and said to everyone: "At present, we are less than ten miles away from Guyang, and a rapid march can quickly reach Guyang. However, although Guyang is only a county seat, it has the advantage of being fortified by the city wall. Once there are too many enemy troops in Guyang, it is still okay to hold on for half an hour! If there are not many devils in Guyang, they will be beaten hard! What do you guys think? ”。
"Commander, I have a little different opinion!" Second Battalion Commander Shen Qun hesitated for a few seconds before speaking out.
Li Yunlong said: "Let's talk about it! ”。
"There are Guyang enemy troops in front of us, and nearly 30,000 Japanese troops in Matsui Ishine's main force in the back, and we are now in danger of being attacked by enemy troops in front and rear! In fact, it is not a big deal to go north to Guyang, whether to fight Guyang or not, and our most important target is the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army commanded by Matsui Ishine. According to the meaning of the regiment commander, the main force of the 3rd Division led by Matsui Shigen roamed around Suiyuan, Chahar and other provinces, dragging the 3rd Division to death and exhaustion, and when the fighters were suitable, eating the 3rd Division was our ultimate goal! ”
After a pause, Shen Qun continued: "So, regiment commander, under the current situation, as long as there are more than a thousand enemy troops in Guyang City to defend the city, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to quickly conquer Guyang in about half an hour!" And the 3rd Division under the command of Matsui Ishine is not far behind us! ”。
"Don't fight Guyang?" Li Yunlong smiled and said, he also recognized Shen Qun's analysis.
In fact, Li Yunlong didn't expect that soon after Matsui Shigen arrived at the Nameless Basin, he continued to pursue north without resting, almost catching Li Yunlong off guard!
Without Shen Qun's suggestion, Li Yunlong at this time also tended not to attack Guyang again!
And just when Li Yunlong and others were discussing whether to fight Guyang, the signal soldiers of the army who had left and returned urgently reported to Li Yunlong, "Report to the regiment commander, the cavalry battalion has an urgent telegram: According to investigation, there is the 13th Cavalry Wing of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Guyang County, with more than 1,000 troops, and at least eight or nine hundred people from a regiment of the Emperor's Cooperative Army to assist in defending the city!" The four gates of Guyang have been closed, and the army has arrived, and I am afraid that it will not be able to conquer the city in an hour! ”
