Chapter 420: Nani?
No wonder Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others were surprised, it is really the location of Datong that is very important!
Datong is located in the center of the Datong Basin in the north of Shanxi, the junction of the three provinces and regions of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolia, and the northeast edge of the Loess Plateau.
The strategic location is very important, especially Datong Town, which is one of the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty in ancient times, and is an important border town in the north.
Today's Datong is still the starting point of the Tongpu Railway, the hub city of the railway trunk line, and the headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army is now in this city. According to the latest information, there is at least one Japanese army 10th Division and 8th Brigade stationed in the city, with the 39th and 40th Wings, and the total strength is estimated to be about 8,000 elite Japanese troops.
Attacking Datong, Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others were not surprised.
"Yes, attack Datong! To be precise, it was to force the Japanese army to attack Datong, and the two wings of the Japanese army with Itagaki Seishiro tended to the north of Shanxi, out of the scope of the base area of my new regiment in Hengshan! Li Yunlong said slyly.
Attacking Datong is attacking Datong, and it is nothing more than a feint. The city wall of Datong is as high as possible, and even if it is only guarded by 2,000 Japanese troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture the new regiment with all the people pulled out.
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief∨ Chang really didn't talk about drafts, it was too scary. A city as big as Datong, with the current number of people on its own, it is really impossible to capture Datong.
"Regiment Commander, it's better to abandon the county seat of Ping'an now$ Although we have added some of the captured soldiers of the Imperial Association Army to join, and there are more than 1,200 people in the army, but once the county town is in the county again, it is inevitable to lose a fierce battle with Itagaki Seishiro, plus Itagaki Seishiro, this devil is good at offensive and defensive battles, although the county town of Heian is high and thick, and it can be held for a while. But I look at the current weather, there may be an improvement situation, and when the time comes, the devil's fighter planes will be dispatched, and we will be in trouble! Why don't you evacuate the county seat immediately and gallop west to the vicinity of Datong? Zhang Dabiao still did not give up and said that the advantage of the new regiment lies in mobile combat, once it sticks to the ground and fights an offensive and defensive battle with the elite of Itagaki Seishiro, it is bound to lose a lot of troops, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Li Yunlong didn't reply immediately when he heard this, but just looked up at the sky outside the door.
After pondering for a while, Li Yunlong suddenly nodded and said, "Da Biao, what you kid said is good!" It's a little inconsiderate! In the first battle of Zhaojiayu, in fact, we have already discovered that the Japanese troops of the two wings under the command of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army under the command of Seishiro Itagaki are not weaker in combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment than our department [By holding on to Ping'an County, it will indeed be a war of attrition!] ”。
After a pause, Li Yunlong waved his hand with resolute eyes, and began to give orders: "Order all departments, after assembling outside the North Gate City, evacuate Ping'an County× and blow up all the Japanese grain, grass and ammunition captured in the city that cannot be taken away!" ”。
"Yes, Captain!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, being able to evacuate the county town and not fight the urban offensive and defensive battles with the elite Japanese army of Seishiro Itagaki was actually what the big guy thought. After all, there are only two battalions and some of the troops directly under the command of Li Yunlong, even if you add a good number of captured soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army, the total strength is worth more than 1,200 people, and the disadvantage is huge compared to the Japanese army commanded by Seishiro Itagaki.
Fight a war of attrition, and everyone is unwilling.
Li Yunlong then beckoned the signal soldiers of the army to come for questioning, and asked him to send a report to the nearby Jin Sui Army and the Nationalist Army near Ping'an County for help, and he also sent a report in clear code so that Itagaki Seishiro could intercept the radio signal.
A few minutes later, Li Yunlong led his troops, changed the battle plan, and evacuated Ping'an County.
***********************
At least five minutes away from the county seat of Ping'an, on the way to the county seat of Ping'an, a Japanese army that had just come out of the depths of the white mountain mountain, marched rapidly along the road leading to the county seat of Ping'an.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, intercept the expedited telegram sent by Li Yunlong's headquarters to the east and west sides of Ping'an County, and the Jin Sui Army and the National Army are close to the nearest county garrisons in Ping'an County!" The Japanese army communications soldier took a telegram that had just been translated and reported to the old devil Itagaki Seishiro.
Itagaki Seishiro took the telegram and looked at it, and his face was gloomy in less than a few seconds.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, what's wrong?" Behind him, in the cold wind, he didn't hear the voice of the Japanese signal corps' report, but then he came up from behind and saw Itagaki Seishiro's gradually gloomy face, and Ueno, the chief of staff of the Itagaki Division, asked in a very solemn voice.
Itagaki Seishiro's face was still not good, but facing the chief of staff of the division, Ueno Masa, he still waved his hand and said: "Ping'an County has been lost, this is the intercepted telegram from Li Yunlong personally to the Jin Sui Army and the garrison of the National Army near Ping'an County. Yaga! The fortified city is firmly defended, two squads, and a garrison battalion of the Imperial Association Army, with a total of six or seven hundred troops, can not withstand the twenty-minute attack of Li Yunlong's troops, and the county seat of Ping'an will be lost, what a bunch of waste!"
"Division Commander, now is not the time to talk about this! Li Yunlong actually asked for help from the Jin Sui Army and the National Army, which was a bit surprising! Your Excellency, Division Commander, this person is very cunning, I really can't believe that Li Yunlong will ask for help from the troops of the Jin Sui Army and the National Army! Ueno immediately questioned that as the chief of staff of the Itagaki Division, Ueno was still very clear about the relationship between the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army, the National Army and other forces.
Itagaki Seishiro said solemnly: "No matter what, Li Yunlong asked for reinforcements from the Jin Sui Army and the garrison of the National Army near Ping'an County. It is necessary to stop the reinforcements of the Chinese garrisons on both sides of Ping'an County, pass on my order, and send two squadrons to block the Jin Sui Army and the National Army garrison on both sides of Ping'an County! ”。
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, obey your orders!" Fortunately, only two squadrons were transferred to intercept it, which was not worth mentioning for the strength of the Japanese troops in the two wings.
Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro continued to order most of the main Japanese troops to march to the county seat of Ping'an in a hurry, and waited until four or five minutes later his main force arrived at the city of Ping'an County.
It's just that Li Yunlong and others have already led their troops to withdraw from Ping'an County.
"Bagaya Road, you drop, tell the commander of this division, what about the Zhina Army?" Seishiro Itagaki grabbed the collar of one of the captured Imperial Allied Army officers left behind when Li Yunlong evacuated the county seat, and roared angrily.
The officer of the Imperial Alliance Army, who was grabbed by the collar, said in horror: "Your Excellency, General, the Eighth Route Army has withdrawn west!" Our people seem to have heard them say, "We are going to fight Datong!" ”。
"Nani?" Seishiro Itagaki and Ueno looked at each other head-on, and said in shock!
