"Nani? Disappeared? ”

Seishiro Itagaki said with a frown when he heard Ueno's latest report.

The Japanese army, which had the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, actually found no signs of Li Yunlong's main force, and was simply speechless.

It's just that Ueno Zheng smiled helplessly and said: "Division commander, although the reconnaissance plane has been reconnoitring more than a dozen times along the radius of Fengzhen for dozens of miles, the wind and snow on the ground are constantly increasing, and the white is vast. In addition, Li Yunlong's troops had already used white cloaks, which were almost integrated with the snow on the ground, so there was no way for the reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance at a low altitude. It is not surprising that its ground main force cannot be found. ”。

"Yoxi, I see!" Itagaki Seishiro was helpless, and in such snowy weather, it was already rare for a reconnaissance plane to be dispatched. As for the situation of the enemy forces on the ground, it is not surprising that the soldiers of Li Yunlong's troops are wearing white cloaks has deepened the detection of the movement of the main force of the enemy forces on the ground.

Therefore, when Itagaki Seishiro heard this, he was actually helpless.

"Division commander, division commander, there is an emergency report!" Without waiting for Seishiro Itagaki to catch his breath, a Japanese staff officer soon rushed to the front of the old devil and said urgently.

"What's the matter, is the Frizzy my Imperial soldier?" Seishiro Itagaki was dissatisfied with the panic of his staff officers and said angrily.

The Japanese staff officers who came to report the situation immediately saluted Itagaki Seishiro, and then hurriedly said: "The cities around Liangcheng, Jining, and Longsheng have been attacked by the troops of the Eighth Route Army!" And artillery fire! It seems to be the main force of the Eighth Route Army! ”。

"Nani? The Eighth Route Army appeared? How could it be possible that all three places were attacked by the main forces of the Chinese army? You can't be wrong, right? Seishiro Itagaki stood up and said incredulously.

The Japanese staff officer who reported said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the commander of the reporting division, you can't be wrong, it's all an urgent telegram sent by the defenders of the three places!" The troops of the Eighth Route Army, who learned that our unit was pursuing Li Yunlong, all called us one after another, or sent urgent telegrams, asking for reinforcements! ”。

"Baga, a group of waste, let them stick to the city and find out if it is Li Yunlong's main force attacking the city! Baga, the troops under the command of Li Yunlong are only more than a thousand people, how can they all attack together in the three places, there must be a feint attack on both sides! Let them hold on and fight back! Look at the situation! Itagaki Seishiro despised the Japanese troops in these three places, but he still waved his hand and ordered.

The Japanese staff officer who reported nodded heavily and said: "Hayi, Your Excellency the division commander, obey the order!" Then he rushed away and called back.

And the chief of staff of the division on the side, Ueno, said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency the division commander, it seems that this guy Li Yunlong is out of the pass, and he is going to divide the troops to disrupt our sight!".

"Then Ueno-kun, look at Li Yunlong, which side is the main attack?" Seishiro Itagaki asked Ueno solemnly.

Once it is confirmed that the main force of Li Yunlong's department is in the wrong direction, when the time comes, Itagaki Seishiro commands the main force to pursue, it is to chase in the wrong direction. And when the time comes, it will be beyond the reach of Li Yunlong's department to entangle him.

Ueno Masashi and Itagaki Seishiro were just in front of the unfolded military map, thought for a while and said: "Division commander, judging from the current map, the imperial army defenders in the direction of Liangcheng have the most troops, with two squadrons. Moreover, the walls of Liangcheng were strong, and the garrison was completed. Li Yunlong is unlikely to storm Liangcheng. Although the defenders of Jining north of Fengzhen are weak, there are not many strategic targets in the north, and it is useless to fight! Attacking Longsheng in the northeast direction, there is an attempt to coerce Zhangbei and deter Beiping! However, in these places, Li Yunlong is unlikely to attack Jining! ”。

"Yo Xi, Ueno-kun, your analysis is actually good! In this way, according to our analysis at the time of victory, we will divide our forces and pursue them. With more than 1,000 people to pursue to Jining, more than 1,000 people attacked in the direction of Liangcheng, and more than 1,000 people pursued to the Longsheng area! The remaining 4,000 people are temporarily stationed here in Fengzhen to rest and observe! Seishiro Itagaki was quick to respond.

And Ueno thought about it, and then said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is very appropriate, and I agree to it!" ”。

"Yo Xi, then do it!" Seishiro Itagaki waved his hand and said with an unnatural face.

Ueno responded later, and rushed to gather all the troops to deploy troops to pursue, and the remaining more than 4,000 Japanese troops were stationed in Fengzhen, which was quite a bit of a standby move.

******************

Just when Itagaki Seishiro unexpectedly did not fully divide his troops to pursue, and left more than 4,000 Japanese troops still in Fengzhen, Li Yunlong had already led more than 900 soldiers to march from the south of Liangcheng and turned to the direction of killing the tiger.

Kill the tiger's mouth, also known as the west mouth, is located in Shanxi Shuozhou Youyu County in the territory of the junction of the two provinces of Jin and Mongolia, kill the tiger mouth on both sides of the high mountains confrontation, the terrain is very steep, its east is Tangzi Mountain, west of Dabao Mountain, between the two mountains open Cangtou River valley, since ancient times is an important passage between the north and south, the highway from Datong to Hohhot, through this place. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and was called Shenhekou in ancient times. Because of its special geographical location, it is famous for killing tigers and has a history of more than 2,000 years.

Therefore, killing the tiger's mouth is regarded as a dangerous place where no one can open the pass, and although the garrison can not be many, it can still block the attack of the enemy army ten times that of the defenders. It can be seen that the danger of this pass is the importance of the strategic location.

When he led the army to a place less than 200 meters north of the mouth of the slaughtering tiger, Li Yunlong asked all the soldiers to hide and wait for the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad who had set off in advance to come back and report the situation.

The main force rushed to the vicinity of the Killing Tiger Mouth and hid for less than five minutes, and the soldiers who went to reconnoiter stepped on the waist of the snow cat and made a detour from the low woods on one side.

"Captain!" The panting warrior took a breath and said: "According to the reconnaissance of the Killing Tiger Pass and the Killing Tiger Pass Wall City, there is only one wing of the Imperial Association Army stationed in the Killing Tiger Pass Wall City. Moreover, these puppet soldiers are all fucking hiding in tents under the freezing cold! On the outer city wall, there are only a dozen puppet soldiers guarding it, and they are extremely lax! ”。

"What? Are there no devils? Li Yunlong was pleasantly surprised, such an important stronghold as killing the tiger's mouth, there were no Japanese soldiers guarding it? Is my Li Yunlong's luck so good??

The scouting soldier continued: "Yes, regimental commander, we have made the reconnaissance clear. No ghost soldiers were found, only puppet troops! These puppet soldiers are very lax in their vigilance. One by one, they are hanging. ”。

"Okay, good job!" Li Yunlong smiled at the reconnaissance soldiers, and then continued to turn to Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team on the side, and ordered: "Duan Peng, take your special combat team, give me not a single shot, solve the puppet army that killed the tiger's mouth, and leave a few puppet army prisoners, and interrogate if there are Japanese troops stationed in the direction of Youyu!" ”。
