Chapter 427: Speculation

Genguchi Yixin was already solemn at this time, the unknown enemy army was the most terrifying, and the most terrifying thing was that this powerful enemy army that suddenly appeared was still a cavalry.

Suddenly attacked Lanfeng City, captured Lanfeng in less than half an hour, and annihilated the defenders.

This made Yuankou Yixin extremely shocked, not to mention that Lan Feng was not defended after being conquered by the other party at this time.

Instead, they concentrated their forces to withdraw from Lanfeng and attacked and advanced along the railway to Neihuang County, which was southeast of the county.

This hand suddenly disrupted Yuankou's single-minded deployment.

Yuankou thought that the other party had so many people, even after taking Lan Feng, he should be able to rest for a while.

At this time, the old devil had roughly determined that Fengqiu, as well as Chenqiao Town, a squadron of the river defense position on the south bank of the south bank of the Chenqiao River Port was captured and annihilated by unknown enemy forces.

It should have been done by the enemy army attacking Lanfeng, but the enemy army in front of him, who didn't know which side, acted boldly, and under the action of the cavalry, Yuankou's single-minded response seemed very passive.

Sure enough, the chief of staff of the division on the side, Aoto Jitaro, said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Lanfeng was abandoned after being captured by the enemy!" The opponent's next target is Neihuangcheng, and the defenders of Neihuangcheng and Lanfeng City are weaker. There was only one squadron and one regiment of Imperial Army, which was guarded by less than 1,300 men! The other party is a cavalry team, at least 10,000 horsemen, storming the Inner Yellow City, and the Inner Yellow City may not be able to withstand it for even ten minutes. ”。

"Neihuang must defend, immediately call the Neihuang defenders and order them to hold the city! Order the garrisons of Kaocheng, Guide and other places to immediately advance to Neihuang to block the enemy's attack! Genguchi ordered in a little panic.

Aoto Jitaro persuaded: "Your Excellency, the commander of the division, can't!" There are many enemy cavalry, and the imperial army in Guide and other places is more than 1,000, and the least is only two or three hundred, and the rest are the imperial army! The combat effectiveness is not strong, and at this time, it is impossible to block the charge of more than 10,000 enemy cavalry by dispatching these troops to move closer to the inner Yellow City! Instead, it will be broken by the other party! What's more, it's already too late! ”。

Genguchi was dissuaded by Jitaro Aoto and immediately came back to his senses.

"Damn, I'm a little distracted!"

Genguchi came back to his senses and said, think about it!

"Send a message to the imperial army in control of Xuzhou and tell them to take off fighter jets and a few bombers at once. It's only an hour away from dawn, Xuzhou is closer to us, and it's enough to stay in the air! Use the reconnaissance plane first, and wait until dawn, this enemy cavalry will have nothing to hide. ”

When Aoto Jitaro heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally came back to his senses.

Otherwise, ordering the devil garrisons and imperial alliance troops in Guide and other places to move closer to the inner Yellow City can only be to deliver food to other cavalry, which is meaningless.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander! I'll do it right away! Aoto Jitaro paused heavily, and then went to deploy it himself!

It's just that Yuankou Yixin is already in a bad mood at this time, and you must know that once the eastern section of the Longhai Line is cut off by unknown enemy cavalry. Even if it is cut off for a day, it will have a huge impact on the attacking devil forces in the Nakajo Mountain area, which needs military supplies.

This is a very huge responsibility for Yixin, who has mastered the source of eastern and northern Henan.

Therefore, the old devil is not calm in his heart at this time.

The unknown enemy attack made Genguchi, who was familiar with the weakness of the other party, feel very uneasy.

As for Neihuangcheng, they can only be ordered to hold on to the county seat and wait for reinforcements.

At this time, Jitaro Aodo, who had just left for less than a minute, had already walked back.

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division, has sent a report to Xuzhou that they have taken off five fighter planes and are flying over the Neihuang area. It will take time, though! ”

Hearing this, Yuankou nodded and said, "Yo Xi, I know!" ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Inner Yellow City can't be defended. Only Guide can stop the other party from going south! Aoto Jitaro pointed to the inner yellow city on the map, and then pointed to the guide city!

Yuankou nodded wholeheartedly, Neihuangcheng is just a small county town. The city is not large, and although it has walls, it will certainly not be able to withstand the blow of the enemy cavalry team with artillery!

Guide has been a big city since ancient times, the city walls are tall and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

What's more, up to now, Guide has been the only way for the Longhai Railway, and it is the only place to connect Xuzhou City.

The big city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the devil deployed an infantry brigade in Guide City. Even if the railway between Guide and Kaifeng is temporarily cut off by the enemy, as long as Guide is not lost, the situation is stable for the time being.

Sure enough, Yuankou said wholeheartedly: "There are not many defenders in Inner Yellow City, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the attack of the enemy cavalry." According to the emergency telegram of the defenders of Qianlanfeng, the attacking enemies were all cavalry, but the siege of the infantry after dismounting was not weaker than that of the imperial front-line infantry. Moreover, the opponent also consigned infantry cannons with the war horse, which could be put into artillery bombardment after being unloaded and assembled! Inner Huangcheng, how long can you stop the other party! ”。

However, Aoto Jitaro said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the distance, even if this enemy army takes Neihuang. It will take at least three hours to reach Guide City! Therefore, the defenders of Guide City have time to deploy the defense of the city! When I gave Xuzhou City just now, I had already sent a report to the troops in Guide City, asking them to prepare for battle immediately and hold Guide. Guide is a big city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the defenders have many troops, even if they kill Guide, it is impossible to take Guide in one day! ”。

"Not bad!"

Yuankou nodded and said, "It's just that Neihuangcheng is lost, and the enemy army may destroy the railway along the way." For us, the transportation of supplies to the Imperial Army on the front line of Nakajo Mountain, which is attacking the enemy, will be delayed for at least one day! ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, this is also a matter of no choice. I see that this enemy cavalry is more than 10,000, coming from the north of the Yellow River, and it may be the troops of the Jin Sui army! ”

Yuankou shook his head and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for the troops of the Jin Sui Army to appear in the northern Henan area. However, it is possible that it is the troops of the Eighth Route Army! You must know that there are a large number of Eighth Route Army in Lu Province. If there are enough more than 10,000 cavalry, the Eighth Route Army in Lu Province can still do it! ”。

"But there is no intelligence that this enemy cavalry is coming from Lu Province!" Jitaro Aoto said in a condensed voice!

Genguchi looked at the map intently, his head dizzy, "No matter, as long as you return to Germany and hold on." It is impossible for the opponent's cavalry team to bypass Guide and continue south! Do you think that after Neihuangcheng is captured by the other party, it will continue to go south? ”

"If I were the commander of that enemy cavalry, it would have been pointless to look at the map and they would have gone south along the railroad to attack Guide after dawn. Because it will be threatened by the air of our imperial army fighters! ”

Aoto Jitaro then guessed and analyzed: "I will command the cavalry and attack the south towards the Quji and Taikang areas in the southwest." After all, this area is also flat, suitable for cavalry. ”。
