Chapter 213: Udan Town
"Kagesa-kun, what about your suggestion?" Matsui Ishone said.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao looked at the military map unfolded in front of the two of them, looked at it for a while, and then said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency, at present, we and Li Yunlong's troops have been separated by at least more than an hour. Even if we rush to Chifeng and then pursue it north, I'm afraid we will be exhausted from the pursuit. ”。
"Does Ying Zuojun mean not to chase Li Yunlong's troops???" Matsui Ishine frowned when he heard this, isn't this a surrender to the new group?
Kagezo Zhenzhao didn't expect Matsui Ishine to think like this, so he hurriedly smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, general, that's not what you mean. The lowly position means that we were pulled away by Li Yunlong for at least more than an hour. At this time, it was no longer necessary to speed up the march and rush to Chifeng, so it was enough to order the soldiers to march at the normal marching speed. In addition, they immediately telegraphed to the air reconnaissance planes and asked them to conduct aerial reconnaissance along Chifeng to the north. Even if Li Yunlong led his troops to march in concealment, there would always be a time when they would be detected by reconnaissance planes. ”。
After a pause, Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao continued: "In this way, after we enter Chifeng, we will rest first and replenish food, grass and ammunition. Once it is determined that Li Yunlong will lead his troops north, he will make plans again. ”。
Hearing this, Matsui Ishine nodded, and this is the only way to do it at present.
"Okay, just follow Kagesa-kun's advice. Come on, order all the troops to march at a normal speed and maintain their physical strength! Contact the aviation and let their reconnaissance planes go north from Chifeng and conduct reconnaissance along the way. If there is a situation, please feel free to report it to me urgently. ”
"Hay, Your Excellency." One of the devil messengers who received the order paused heavily, and immediately went to send a report.
However, Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenaki glanced at each other at this time, both aware of each other's worries. The speed of the loss of Chifeng was too fast, you must know that although the Japanese defenders of Chifeng only had an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Army, plus some temporarily recruited expatriates, the Japanese reserve force composed of more than 3,000 people.
But he was stunned by Li Yunlong in less than half an hour, and Li Yunlong, who recovered Chifeng, actually quickly evacuated Chifeng. As a result, the Japanese air force fighters that had not long arrived over Chifeng could not bomb them, and they could only blame them for the transfer to Jinzhou.
This is a wary and surprising opponent, which deserves to be worried and taken seriously!
The other party, on the other hand, does not engage in frontal positional battles with your main infantry units, but keeps distancing themselves from you like a cow. If once you send the vanguard and fall into Li Yunlong's trap, you will be eaten by him without hesitation.
"Li Yunlong, this is a cunning and murderous opponent!" Matsui Ishone looked at the Japanese army that continued to move forward and muttered to himself.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, who was standing beside Matsui Shigen, smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, we must kill Li Yunlong and his new group at all costs. Otherwise, once this person's army expands to 10,000 or even 20,000 or 30,000 in the future, the empire may need the strength of a group army to completely eat the new mass. ”。
Matsui Shigen nodded when he heard this, but he, Matsui Shigen, personally commanded the 3rd Division to pursue all the way north from Laiyuan, and fought several fierce battles with Li Yunlong.
But the other side was out of nowhere, seized the favorable fighters and terrain, and had already killed half of the military strength of the 3rd Division under his command.
At this time, Matsui Shigen no longer had the slightest contempt for Li Yunlong and Xinyituan, but attached great importance to it.
"Forget it, it's useless to say that now. Shadow Zuo-kun, let's continue to advance towards Chifeng! Matsui Shigen waved his hand and said bitterly.
Kagezo said, "Hai, Your Excellency the General. ”。
The two old devils were a little angry and led the devil's troops to continue to advance towards Chifeng, and almost at the same time, Li Yunlong and others had already led their troops to withdraw from Chifeng, and then advanced north along the road from Chifeng to Wudan Town and Linxi.
"Woo woo woo !!"
Two Japanese reconnaissance planes roared over the various units of the New Regiment hidden in the woods on both sides of the road, and from time to time, the two devil reconnaissance planes resisted and strafed the woods on both sides of the road.
When the strafing was completed, the Japanese reconnaissance planes found that there was no movement on the road and the woods on both sides, so they flapped their wings and continued to fly north.
After the devil's reconnaissance plane flew north, Li Yunlong scolded and led his troops from the woods to the highway and continued to march north on the highway.
"Made, the little devil really guessed where we are going next!" Li Yunlong sneered.
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, was next to Li Yunlong at this time, and when he heard it, he said: "Regiment commander, the devil found out that we were not in Chifeng. It is bound to send reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance, and now the little devils have already guessed the direction of our march, and will they continue to go north? ”。
"Keep going north, of course! Even if the devil guessed it, when we reached the town of Wudan, Linxi, and continued north, we would reach the Sukexilu Mountain. Once you reach Mount Sukesherus, enter it to rest. Even if the devil chases him to Mount Sukexilu, we are not afraid. ”
Li Yunlong laughed, once the army entered the Sukexilu Mountain, relying on the topography and vast area of the Sukexilu Mountain, it was all a good thing to deal with the little devils in the mountains!
"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dabiao also smiled.
While speaking, Li Yunlong and the others continued to lead their troops to continue to advance, and after about two hours, the army twisted along the road to Wudan Town.
Wudan Town is a small town dozens of kilometers north of Chifeng, this town has a population of only about 10,000 people, but there are also two squadrons of Japanese troops stationed in it.
It's just that the army killed on the outskirts of Wudan Town, and soon encountered the Japanese fortifications at the entrance of the village south of the town!
"It's a bit hard to fight!" Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and other commanders and fighters climbed to the top of a mountain with an altitude of less than 100 meters above sea level, and condescendingly observed Wudan Town.
Although the town of Wudan is not large, it is the only way to the county seat of Linxi. If you don't take the town of Udan, you can go around it, but there are two squadrons of Japanese troops behind the army who are in danger of backing at any time. Once the main force of the army is unfavorable to the attack on Linxi County, the flank attack of the Japanese troops in the back two squadrons is also a big hidden danger.
Therefore, even if the town of Udan is a little difficult to fight, it will be fought!
Just when Li Yunlong took Zhang Dabiao and others to observe the Japanese fortifications in Wudan Town, Captain Takada Jun, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Wudan Town, also hid in the trench at the south intersection of Wudan Town with binoculars, observing the new regiment of troops that were coming north.
However, seeing the pressure of a new mighty army of 7,000 not far away from the telescope, Takada Jun's hands and feet trembled terribly!
"Bage Yalu, who am I trying to provoke! I'm so unlucky that so many enemy troops have come to fight me, Bageyalu! Gao Tian Jun secretly scolded in his heart, the two squadrons in his hand, one of them is still dissatisfied, and the total strength is only about 400 people, how can this be fought?
