"Understood, Commander."

Zhang Dabiao nodded and saluted, and then ordered someone to deal with it immediately.

Li Yunlong then said: "The enemy army in Luyi has been completely annihilated, and the next thing is to see if we will attack the Huaiyang area!" ”。

When Zhang Dabiao and others heard this, they nodded one after another!

Bozhou can't go back to attack, after all, the enemy army in Bozhou City has been reinforced by the devils in the direction of Bengbu.

At this time, it is of little significance to go back and attack Bozhou.

And at this moment, a signal corpsman came quickly, "Report to the division commander, the headquarters is urgent!" ”

After speaking, the communications soldier handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong.

After Li Yunlong finished reading it, he circulated it to Zhang Dabiao and others. In the night, everyone walked directly to a relatively intact room behind the devil's headquarters, and Li Yunlong waved his hand for Wei Dayong to unfold the map.

After illuminating the map with a light, Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said: "According to the emergency telegram from the headquarters, the two Japanese cavalry brigades reinforcing the 35th Division of the Devil have directly bypassed Kaifeng and headed south, along Chenliu and Qixian all the way south. Now it has passed through Qixian and is accelerating southward, and the target should be Huaiyang. ”。

Ma Wenhai, commander of the Third Brigade, said loudly: "The urgent telegram from the headquarters also indicates that the Bozhou defenders have dispatched 3,000 devils, and at least 5,000 Imperial Cooperative troops are advancing westward and advancing towards Luyi!" The reinforcements of the devils who rushed to Luyi from the direction of Bozhou are estimated to be under the city of Luyi in more than 50 minutes. At this time, the devils in Huaiyang City have been obtained, and it is possible for us to continue to advance westward, and the possibility of attacking Huaiyang will be drawn from the strongholds of the devils from all over Huaiyang to return to Huaiyang and defend the city. At present, the information learned by the headquarters is that there may be more than 3,000 devils gathered in Huaiyang City, and there are also seven or eight thousand imperial troops. Well, now we are in a situation where the devil is surrounded on three sides. The situation is starting to be not optimistic, division commander. ”。

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, we are all cavalry, and we have strong mobility! Therefore, Luyi can't stay anymore, and he must strike first! ”

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "The big guys are all talking about it, where is the best place for us to fight next?" ”。

Shen Qun was the first to suggest: "Division Commander, according to the current situation, we have devils from the east, west and north directions coming, but the encirclement of devils has not formed in the south, and our situation has not yet reached the stage of deterioration at this time. It is better to go south and attack in a roundabout way towards Shenqiu and Xiangcheng. When the time comes, we can continue to advance westward, attack and advance in the areas of Shangcai, Suiping, Pingxi, and Zhumadian, and threaten Pinghan Road! ”。

"This is an attack direction, but this roundabout attack route is too long, which is conducive to the defense of the devils in front." Li Yunlong couldn't deny it, but in the end he still disagreed.

This attack is too long, and this time to the south, the most important thing for your side is to operate in the area of eastern and southern Henan. Through the favorable conditions of his own cavalry, gallop through the plains, find the weak links of the devils and eat the living force of the devils.

And then the last moment is the last moment to break the Longhai line.

If you go south to attack in the direction of Shenqiu and Xiangcheng, the distance is a bit too long.

Moreover, after crossing the Pinghan Road to the west, there is a region of western Henan with many mountains, which is not a last resort for Li Yunlong, and he will not attack and advance to the western part of Henan.

Sure enough, Li Yunlong immediately denied and said: "The journey to the south is too long, and you can still gallop to the west." However, it is not as good as the area in eastern and southern Henan, which is conducive to the mobility of our cavalry. ”。

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the First Brigade, pointed to the map and said: "Division commander, I think it is better to go north along the Vortex River and go north, and we will fight Taikang before the devil cavalry arrives at Taikang!" ”。

"After capturing Taikang, attack and fight Fugou along the west of the highway, Xuchang area! Amazing results! ”

Li Yunlong and the others all looked at the map, among which Li Yunlong thought about it, but agreed with Zhang Dabiao's suggestion to attack Taikang in the north.

The devil has two cavalry brigades, and he must run away with them!

Moreover, the two cavalry brigades of the 35th Division reinforced by the devil were not familiar with the terrain around Henan Province. You must know that these two cavalry brigades are from the 12th Army of the devil, and they were hastily transferred to the 35th Division to use them, just to hang them at a distance and chase them behind the main force of their own cavalry.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome to give the devil cavalry brigade time to familiarize themselves with the situation.

Shen Qun and Ma Wenhai both thought in silence, and then both of them expressed their approval of Zhang Dabiao's suggestion to Li Yunlong.

From Luyi to the south to Shenqiu, Xiangcheng attacked in a roundabout way, and it was indeed a bit far. Once the devil is not fooled, it will be troublesome.

It is better to concentrate the main force of cavalry to attack Taikang and then move west to attack Fugou and Xuchang, which can also threaten Pinghan Road faster.

Once the Pinghan Road was threatened, Yuanguchi, the commander of the 35th Devil Division, was determined to urge the two reinforced Devil Cavalry Brigades to quickly advance and suppress his own side.

Once the attack is hastily attacked, then the two cavalry brigades of the devil will inevitably have a loophole, and for Li Yunlong and others, the fighter plane can appear at any time.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong smashed his fist on the map and said in a condensed voice: "Okay, then hit Taikang." Without further ado, the units seized the time to rest for 10 minutes. Ten minutes later, all the staff withdrew from Luyi and went north to reach the south bank of the Vortex River, and then went north along the river to attack Taikang. According to the attack on the enemy transmitted by the headquarters, when we arrived at Taikang to attack, it should be impossible for the Devil Cavalry Brigade to go south from Qixian County to kill Taikang before us. We have time! ”。

"Understood, Commander!" Everyone said in response, and then scattered to prepare.

Li Yunlong continued to look at the map, once he was able to take Taikang and Fugou, he could continue to attack the west to fight the Xuchang area. Once it hits Xuchang, the devil will inevitably shake, which is already a threat to the Pinghan line.

This is an unacceptable thing for the 35th Division of the Devils, and it will inevitably urge the two Japanese cavalry brigades that reinforced them to quickly pursue and attack the main force of their own cavalry.

Once this is the case, the devils who are in a hurry will inevitably leak flaws.

With Li Yunlong's acumen, it will still be possible to find a few fighters when the time comes.

Luyi in the night has quieted down, and the sound of gunfire has ceased.

Li Yunlong ordered Zhang Dabiao and others to command the troops to seize the time to rest for ten minutes, after all, there was no full force to attack Luyi. just sent one of Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun as the main attack, and the enemy army in Luyi was eliminated in less than half an hour after attacking Luyi.

Therefore, most of the fighters did not actually fight for long. Ten minutes of rest and then departure, which is enough.

Soon, ten minutes is not much time.

Ten minutes later, Li Yunlong commanded the troops to quickly evacuate Luyi, and all the weapons and ammunition that could not be taken away were destroyed on the spot, and everything that could be taken away had been replenished.

"Withdraw!"

With Li Yunlong's order, the mighty army of more than 15,000 horses galloped out of Luyi and marched rapidly to the north, and then marched north along the vortex river to the Taikang area!

At this time, more than 6,000 devil cavalry of the two Japanese cavalry brigades commanded by Torotaro Ishida had just set off from Qixian County and walked less than eight miles! There is still a long way to go before Taikang.
