Chapter 700: Decision to Attack Handan (Ask for Subscription!) )
"This maybe, but Qu Zhou's imperial army troops have discovered a cavalry company of the enemy army outside the city, indicating that it is not impossible that the main force of Li Yunlong's army has been killed under Quzhou City! But the enemy cavalry company that appeared outside Quzhou City may be just a decoy force. Yuichiro Hatta frowned, and said to Tomoki Onodera, the chief of staff of the division, with a solemn look.
Onodera Tomoki pondered for a while, and then said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is better to order the Quzhou defenders to defend the city, and take a look first!" What's more, the imperial army garrison in Quzhou, the imperial army only has five or six hundred people, which is almost the same as the strength of Yongnian County. As long as before the city of Quzhou was broken, we could see the clues from the wartime report of the defenders of Quzhou. ”。
"Ono-kun, your suggestion is good, then call back to the defenders of Quzhou, and ask them to test how many enemy cavalry there are outside the city? Report directly to the division headquarters at any time! ”
When Yuichiro Hatta heard this, he nodded and agreed to Tomoki Onodera's suggestion, and directly waved his hand and ordered.
"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders!" Onodera Tomoki paused heavily, then turned around and hurriedly walked back to the communication office on the side of the division headquarters, and asked people to quickly send a telegram to order the Quzhou defenders to test the small force of Li Yun's dragon cavalry that appeared outside the city.
At this time, what Hatta Yuichiro didn't know was that although considering that Sun Desheng's cavalry unit that appeared in Quzhou was a decoy force, Hatta Yuichiro didn't dare to be careless. If it is true that the main force of Li Yunlong's cavalry will go north to attack Quzhou, Jize, and Pingxiang along the Fuyang River, then Li Yunlong's main cavalry force will likely continue to attack Julu, Longping, and Ningjin, and Shijiazhuang will be a little likely to encounter the threat of the opponent's cavalry.
Therefore, Yuichiro Hatta was cautious and ordered the defenders of Quzhou to be sure to test the decoy troops sent by Sun Desheng.
It's just that what Yuichiro Hatta and Tomoki Onodera didn't know was that the main cavalry under the command of Li Yunlong actually hid and slaughtered along a mountain road a few miles south of the south bank of the Fuyang River towards Handan. Moreover, Hatta Yuichiro had previously sent out from Handan City to reinforce an infantry brigade in Yongnian County, and the main cavalry force commanded by Li Yunlong passed by each other.
After all, the distance of several miles is enough to make it impossible for the two sides to meet. Therefore, until Li Yunlong commanded the main cavalry force to suddenly kill under Handan City, Yuichiro Hatta and Tomoki Onodera were both surprised after looking at each other.
At this time, Li Yunlong, who had withdrawn from Yongnian County with the main force of the cavalry of the command post department, had already led the main force to secretly go south, and found a local hunter as a guide near Yongnian County to guide the army southward, and soon the main force attacked and killed in the mountains and forests less than five miles outside the east gate of Handan.
The snow covered the trail of the elite of the two thousand cavalry on horseback. On the secret mountain road, there was no trace of a large number of Japanese troops, so Li Yunlong and the others were cautious to go to the mountains and forests five miles outside the east gate of Handan to temporarily rest and hide for ten minutes.
During these ten minutes, Li Yunlong still sent Duan Peng's special combat team as before, divided into small reconnaissance detachments to infiltrate Handan City.
Because Handan City is located on the Pinghan Railway, Handan City is an important place in the ancient city, since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers in Hebei Province, the city wall is tall and solid, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The divisional headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was located in Handan City, although Yuichiro Hatta sent a wing south to reinforce the county seat of Daimyo, and an infantry brigade reinforced in the direction of the county seat of Yongnian.
As a result, the living strength of the Japanese army in Handan City at this time was less than one wing, less than 3,000 Japanese troops, but Yuichiro Hatta, who was proud of the strength of Handan City, did not expect that Li Yunlong's small decoy force that appeared outside Quzhou City was really a bait force. And Li Yunlong's main force has already killed in the mountains and forests five miles outside the east gate of Handan.
Soon, Duan Peng and the others, who had been out to reconnoiter for nearly ten minutes, withdrew with the special combat team.
"Squeak, squeak!" The sound caused by the hurried footsteps stepping on the snowy ground of the small mountain forest reached Li Yunlong's ears.
Soon, in the mountains and forests where he was temporarily resting, Li Yunlong was in the military tent that had been erected, and he heard the sound of people from outside stepping on the snow.
"Commander, I'm back!" Entering the military tent, Duan Peng patted the snowflakes on his shoulders, smiled and saluted Li Yunlong and reported.
Li Yunlong thought for a while, pointed to the side of the military tent, and said, "Warm up your body first, drink hot water!" ”。
Duan Peng was not hypocritical when he heard this, he took a sip of hot water, warmed his body for a while, and immediately reported to Li Yunlong: "Commander, the gates of Handan City are not closed. But the city was guarded by Japanese troops, and it seemed that Yuichiro Hatta, the commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Handan City, didn't realize that we had killed near Handan! ”。
"In addition, regiment commander, according to the contact between us and our cavalry personnel lurking in the city, there are less than 3,000 Japanese troops left in the city at this time, which is basically less than the strength of a Japanese infantry wing. However, the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in the city has secretly strengthened martial law, and the Japanese troops guarding the headquarters of the 33rd Division in the city have more than 500 people in two squadrons. The Japanese defenders of the rest of the gates were about five or six hundred people! After a pause, Duan Peng continued to report to Li Yunlong on the situation of the Japanese army in Handan City.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "Hard work! Judging from the situation of the enemy army in Handan obtained by Duan Peng, the Japanese army had less than 3,000 troops in the city, and the defenders of each gate were almost about two infantry squadrons. It seems that Yuichiro Hatta, who is a decent city defense, probably didn't expect that we would really go south to kill outside Handan City so soon. ”。
"Captain, this is an opportunity. Take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese army in Handan and take advantage of the situation to enter the city! Our cavalry is extremely mobile, and we must solve the headquarters of the Japanese 33rd Division in Handan City in a short time. ”
When the commander of the first battalion heard this, he immediately suggested: "Otherwise, the Japanese puppet army garrisons along the railway lines such as Xingtai and Shahe City in the north of Handan, and Xucheng, Matou Town, and Anyang in the south will desperately advance from the north to reinforce Handan City." And the speed of the other party's reinforcements is bound to be very fast, and it is impossible for us to stay in Handan City for long! ”。
Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion on the side, also nodded loudly and agreed with Zhang Dabiao's analysis and suggestions.
And the commanders and fighters of the other departments also nodded one after another, unanimously agreeing with the attack time of Handan City, and try to complete it in a short time. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to fight in the streets of Handan City.
Sure enough, Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this: "Okay, judging from the situation obtained by Duan Peng's reconnaissance, we must finish off the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Handan City within twenty minutes!" I ordered, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese army in Handan, to use Sun Desheng to command a thousand cavalry to surround the city to contain the Japanese army at the north and southwest gates, Da Biao and Lao Zhou, the two of you, concentrated your forces, assaulted into the city from the east gate, and directly assaulted the headquarters of the 33rd division of the Japanese army in the city! ”。
"Yes, Commander, understood!" Everyone stood up and saluted.
Li Yunlong immediately ordered: "All the troops get on the horse and kill!" ”。
