Yokogawa-kun, if this is not the case, after we take Wei County, after attacking Guangling, the new regiment will definitely have time to adjust its defenses! ”

Kenichi Muto said in a condensed voice, pointing to the topographical map around Heng Mountain and frowning.

"But Your Excellency, division commander, the current situation is that if we want to completely annihilate Li Yunlong's troops, we may not be able to follow the plan of attacking the base area of the new regiment." Kenichiro Yokogawa raised doubts, in fact, in terms of Kenichiro Yokogawa's considerations, it is best to draw an elite wing level from among the various units under the division and regiment to raid the Hengshan Mountain.

And at present, the mighty two armies are divided into troops, and they seem to be very powerful. But in the vast Hengshan Mountains, the effect may not be very good.

You must know that the new regiment has occupied the depth of the Hengshan Mountains for a long time, and the first line of defense in its base area, the Jinlongxia Gorge and the valley mouth, is impossible to capture in a short period of time even if it requires a heavy attack by the Japanese army.

In addition, it was also very difficult to attack Hutou Mountain, where the regimental headquarters of the new regiment was stationed, from the mountainous area of eastern Hengshan.

"What do you mean, Yokogawa-kun?"

Kenichiro Yokogawa quickly said: "The suggestion of the humble position is that after the division commander captures Wei County and Guangling, it is best to draw out the soldiers of the Imperial Army who are good at mountain warfare from among the various units of the army we are currently bringing with us, and temporarily form a surprise force. Attack on both flanks of the new regiment's base area, and from the map, the flanks are not without a way to go around the flanks of their base area to raid the new regiment. ”。

"Yo Xi, what you said is not wrong! So be it! Order all troops to speed up the march, take Wei County first, and then talk about Guangling! Kenichi Muto couldn't deny it, just waved his hand and said.

Yokogawa Kenichiro knew that Kenichi Muto still seemed to be a little contemptuous of the new regiment in his heart, but he was helpless, "Hai, Your Excellency the division commander, it should be so. ”

In the midst of Muto Kenichi's self-confidence and Yokogawa's worries, the 15,000 Japanese soldiers on the North Road continued to brave the cold wind and snow and rushed along the banks of the Sangqian River.

After about 50 minutes had passed, the Japanese troops on the northern route, who had braved the cold wind and scorching snow, finally advanced from the southward tributary of the Sangqian River to less than five minutes away from the ambush site of Li Yunlong and others.

Although he rushed forward, Kenichi Muto was worthy of being the division commander of the 2nd Division of the Devils, and he had rich combat experience, and the distance before the advance of the large army was bound to release the reconnaissance force to carry out reconnaissance three minutes away from the large army in advance.

"Commander, look, the devil's reconnaissance unit! Here it comes! ”

When the devil's reconnaissance force arrived at the bifurcated estuary of the southbound tributary, they appeared in front of the eyes of Li Yunlong and others in the southern ambush position, and a staff officer standing beside Li Yunlong whispered to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong hummed, indicating that he had seen it.

"Order all troops, watch out for concealment! Our ambush position is at least 300 meters away from the devil scouts, pay attention to concealment, the devils will not be able to detect our presence. Li Yunlong waved his hand and commanded in a low voice.

The staff officer standing beside Li Yunlong responded: "Understood, regiment commander." Then he waved his hand and sent someone out to give the order.

A few minutes later, the ghost scouts who were safe sent people back, and the remaining dozen or so devil scouts crossed the ambush circle and continued to reconnoiter south along the way.

Kenichi Muto quickly got the investigation information sent back by the reconnaissance team, and waved his big hand: "Yo Xi, speed up, attack and advance to Wei County, and kill Jiji." Tell all the soldiers of the Empire that the time has come to fight for His Majesty the Emperor and for the Empire, and to kill. ”。

"Hayi! Your Excellency, Division Commander! Several of the devil senior officers who followed Muto Kenichi responded one after another.

Looking at the 15,000 Japanese troops marching southward, ten Type 94 tanks as the vanguard, escorting a large number of Japanese soldiers behind them southward.

couldn't help but be very arrogant, Muto Kenichi was very arrogant, "Haha, this is the elite division of the empire, Li Yunlong?" Hum! ”

At this time, Major General Kenichiro Yokogawa, the brigade commander of the 15th Brigade of the Devil Army, who was standing on the left side of Kenichi Muto, couldn't help but be worried, and Kenichi Muto was a little coquettish.

Gu Shoufu was coquettish, and in the end, he was ambushed and killed by Li Yunlong, and he was killed cleanly, I don't know what happened to his 2nd Division?

No matter what worries Kenichiro Yokogawa had, what Kenichi Muto and Kenichiro Yokogawa didn't expect was that on the edge of the estuary of the forked tributary not far ahead, there were already more than 6,000 elite soldiers in ambush.

In order to be safe, Li Yunlong secretly ordered the guerrillas in Wei County and Guangling to gather a total of more than 4,000 people as the second half of the team.

Once the 6,000 men and horses encircled and suppressed the Japanese troops on the North Road like Kenichi Muto, then the guerrillas, as the last reserve force that Li Yunlong had to use, would have to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy at all costs.

You must know that although the guerrillas fought well in guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, if they fought with the elite troops of devils like the Devil's Seed Division, I am afraid that it would be very difficult to fight.

After all, these more than 4,000 hastily assembled guerrilla units are not cannon fodder, but reserve soldiers of the new regiment, so how can they be used as cannon fodder like the Nationalist Army and the Jin Sui Army?

Under the command of Kenichi Muto, the journey of two or three minutes passed quickly, and the mighty Japanese army on the North Road, under the command of Kenichi Muto, stepped into the ambush circle laid by Li Yunlong without vigilance.

I saw that the leader was the 3,000 devils of the 29th Infantry Wing under the jurisdiction of the 15th Brigade and the 29th Infantry Regiment, and at this time they had entered the mouth of the bifurcated river of the southern tributary of the Sangqian River.

The surface of the river on the bifurcated estuary has long been frozen, and the devils do not use the army troops to build bridges, so they directly step on the ice to cross the river.

"Yo Xi, it looks like there's nothing going on!" Kenichi Yokogawa, the brigade commander of the 15th Brigade of the Devils who was standing beside Kenichi Muto, saw that more than 3,000 devils of his 29th Infantry Wing had stepped on the ice and were crossing the river and continuing to move south, indicating that it seemed that the Eighth Route Army in Wei County had not yet known the news that it had gone south.

It's just that before Kenichiro Yokogawa and Kenichi Muto could speak, suddenly a screaming whistling sound came from all directions.

As soon as Kenichi Muto and Kenichiro Yokogawa heard this whistling scream, they immediately felt terrified.

I saw the two old devils raise their heads and look around the sky in unison, it doesn't matter if they don't look at it, they are immediately frightened when they see it.

"Not good, Your Excellency the division commander, the shelling !!!" Kenichiro Yokogawa watched the black dots smashed around him getting closer and closer, and the screaming whistling sound was terrifying, and he knew that this was a large-scale shelling at a glance!
