Chapter 685: The 33rd Division (Ask for subscription, ask for collection!) )
In Beiping City, in the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front, Tada Jun, who had been in the headquarters all night, dozed off with his eyes, but he still kept receiving reports from Iida Zhengu in Jinan City about the battle situation of Li Yunlong's headquarters.
"Pedal Pedal Pedal T The sound of footsteps coming from the snow came from outside the headquarters, waking up Tada Jun, who was dozing off.
I saw that the chief of staff of the headquarters, Haruki Fujimoto, came in in a hurry, and walked in quickly, and directly reported to Tada Jun in a low voice: "Your Excellency General, the commander of the 12th Army, Iida Sadagu urgently telegraphed: Li Yunlong's headquarters took advantage of the cavalry mobility advantage, and suddenly withdrew from Yanzhou, which had already been conquered, and galloped north, from Wenshang, Dongping, to Dong'e. After conquering Dong'e, he crossed the north bank from the frozen Yellow River and attacked Liaocheng. Liaocheng was lost, Li Yunlong's troops abandoned it, and galloped all the way west to attack Tangyi and Guanxian. At this time, the latest Iida Zhengu urgent telegram, Li Yunlong's department had already killed out of Shandong and killed the Daimyo's Mansion in the southern region of Ji Province. It is estimated that according to the time, it may have passed through the Dragon King Temple and killed the Daimyo County. ”。
"A group of waste, Iida Zhenggu, the commander of the 12th Army, has more than 50,000 elite troops of the empire, and he can't encircle more than 2,000 cavalry of the Eighth Route Army when he divides his troops to guard key cities in Shandong, it's really a waste." At this time, Tada Jun listened to Haruki Fujimoto's report and looked at the military map of Ji Province and Shandong in front of him, and it was easy to find the location on the content of Haruki Fujimoto's report.
Just at a glance, Tada Jun was very dissatisfied with the guy Iida Sadagu.
With more than 50,000 elite Japanese troops in one army, they couldn't stop the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong, which was simply infuriating Tada Jun. However, Tada Jun didn't want to think about it, when Li Yunlong entered the pass from the area of Juyong Pass, he almost had to fight under the city of Beiping. At that time, Tada Jun was also disgraced by Li Yunlong, fifty steps to joke and a hundred steps, half a catty and eight taels.
Fujimoto Haruki naturally didn't dare to be speechless on his face, but he also knew in his heart that Beiping City was almost killed by Li Yunlong at that time, and he was almost slapped in the face by others. At this time, the joke angrily scolded Iida Sadagu, more or less even Haruki Fujimoto felt a little wronged.
"Your Excellency the General is angry, Li Yunlong's troops have entered the Daimyo's Mansion in the southern region of Ji Province. Did you order Iida Sadagu to send heavy troops to pursue? ”
Tada Jun didn't give an order immediately, but just looked at the map and summarized the current strength of the Japanese 12th Army.
"Let Iida Zhengu mobilize the headquarters of the independent 5th Brigade under his command in Gaotang, and transfer some men and horses to reoccupy Guanxian and Tangyi, and block the path for Li Yunlong's troops to return to Shandong. Iida Sadagu's 12th Army now suffered heavy losses, leaving only more than 40,000 imperial troops, as well as more than 100,000 imperial allegorical troops who surrendered and guerrilla armed forces of the Eighth Route Army that rose and fell all over Shandong. The more than 2,000 cavalry who sent heavy troops to pursue Li Yunlong could only be dragged to death by the other party. ”
Haruki Fujimoto said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency General, what about the main cavalry force of the Chinese Army commanded by Li Yunlong?" ”。
"Order the 33rd Division stationed in Handan City to coordinate and command the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army in the south of Ji Province, and encircle and suppress Li Yunlong's troops who entered the south of Ji Province. Tell the commander of the 33rd Division that you must destroy the main cavalry force of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong! Tada Jun said in a condensed voice.
Haruki Fujimoto paused heavily and said, "Hay, Your Excellency General, I understand my humble duties!" It was not surprising that the headquarters of the 33rd Division directly under the control of the North China Front Army stationed in Handan was ordered to be responsible for the encirclement and suppression of Li Yunlong's troops in the area south of Hebei Province.
However, after Tada Jun learned that Iida Sadagu had suffered heavy casualties, he had no choice but to order Iida Sadagu to recapture Guanxian and Tangyi area, but did not order Iida Sadagu to command the main cavalry force of the 12th Army to chase Li Yunlong. Instead, he directly issued an order, ordering the 33rd Division to take full responsibility for the encirclement and suppression of the more than 2,000 men and horses of Li Yunlong's troops who had entered the Daimyofu area in southern Hebei Province.
At this time, Li Yunlong and others, who had already passed through the Dragon King Temple in the southeast of Daming County and arrived at the county seat of Daming, had already led their troops less than five minutes away from the county seat. At this time, the sky was already bright, but fortunately, in the morning, there was light snow and a north wind howling down, so that the Japanese fighters controlled by the Japanese 12th Army who took off from Jinan Airport could not bombard Li Yunlong's troops near the Daimyo in the air.
There was no danger, and everyone led the army to kill the county town of Daimyo.
Due to the cavalry reconnaissance report withdrawn from the palace, the 5th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army did not send the main force to chase and kill in the Daimyo Mansion area of Ji Province, so that Li Yunlong knew after a little thought that the 12th Army of the Japanese army of the little devil had more than 50,000 people, and at least seven or eight thousand elite troops were killed by his own side. At this time, the Japanese 12th Army in Shandong had only about 40,000 people, and it was barely able to suppress the Imperial Allied troops who surrendered to the little devils. If more heavy troops were sent to chase after them, the Japanese forces in Shandong would be weakened beyond measure, and the guerrillas and other forces of the Eighth Route Army, which were becoming more and more active in Shandong at that time, would inevitably pose a serious threat to Iida's 12th Army.
Therefore, Li Yunlong knew that it was impossible for Iida Zhengu to lose the Shandong territory again, and then send heavy troops to pursue them.
At this time, everyone camped in the woods outside the city more than 500 meters east of the Daimyo county seat, but still according to the old way, the guard post went out, and the reconnaissance force was dispatched to the Daimyo county seat to arrive and investigate.
Seven or eight minutes later, Duan Peng, the leader of the special combat team who had gone out to investigate, and others withdrew and hurriedly reported to Li Yunlong and others about the situation in the county seat.
"Commander, the county seat of the Daimyo is an ancient city, the city walls are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack. And the commander of the regiment you guessed correctly, the enemy army of Daimyo Castle has closed the city gate and is waiting for reinforcements. It is estimated that at this time, there were enemy troops in the city from Nanle, Qingfeng and other places south of the county seat of Daimyo to withdraw the enemy troops who were holding in the city, and arrested a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army and two little devil soldiers for interrogation respectively, and the total number of Japanese puppet troops in the city was about 1,700 people. It's just that there are only 500 Japanese troops in the city, which is about two squadrons! ”
After a pause, Duan Peng, after taking a sigh of relief, continued to report the situation to Li Yunlong: "In addition, the enemy army in Daimyo County, which is stubbornly holding on to the Daimyo County and is waiting for reinforcements, has already requested reinforcements from the Japanese 33rd Division Headquarters in Handan, and Lieutenant General Yuichiro Hatta, the commander of the 33rd Division of the Little Devil, has ordered the Japanese troops stationed in Guangping and Cheng'an to transport troops to reinforce the enemy army in Daimyo County, and at the same time rush to aid the Japanese puppet army in Daimyo County. The little devils reinforced by the two places are estimated to have a total of about one infantry brigade. Moreover, they are all elite infantry brigades under the command of the 33rd Division, and their weapons and equipment are also very sophisticated, which is extremely unfavorable to us! ”。
After Duan Peng finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly became solemn, this was an unexpected situation. If the county town of Daimyo is not attacked for a long time, and the 33rd Division is heavily reinforced, it will be very dangerous for oneself.
