Although the new regiment is very strong in ground foot combat, its air power has always been zero-based.

Once the Japanese army dispatched fighter planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance, Li Yunlong also had no other good way to block the Japanese army's aerial reconnaissance of his own side.

In the midst of cursing, it was only after the Japanese reconnaissance planes had flapped their wings and hunted over the southbound contingent that Li Yunlong ordered the troops to come out of the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road and continue to march southward.

"Commander, this can't be done! If the devil's reconnaissance plane keeps doing this, we may be discovered by the devil at any time. Once the devils find us from the air, they will inevitably notify the Japanese defenders in Lingqiu County to close the city in advance! Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion who followed Li Yunlong, said to Li Yunlong worriedly.

Zhang Dabiao knew that it was impossible for the little devil's reconnaissance plane to leave quickly, but it was constantly conducting aerial reconnaissance while heading south. Once a large number of your own forces are discovered, the situation behind is unpredictable.

Li Yunlong ordered the troops to continue to advance, and said solemnly, "There is no way to do this!" The little devil will not always wait for us to take the initiative to attack, it is inevitable that the devil will detect us! Now, we can only make a covert and rapid march, and while Yoshio Shinozuka has not yet known the signs that we may be heading south, we will go south first and attack Lingqiu County again with lightning speed. ”。

"Commander, as for a thousand of us, can we capture Lingqiu?" Zhang Dabiao still said a little worriedly.

Although it is said that Lingqiu County has been breached several times by the new regiment before, at this time, according to the information obtained from the telegram of the Japanese army under Shibayama Kotaro, the Japanese reinforcement unit Shibayama Kotaro who had been ambushed and eaten before, the Japanese army stationed in Lingqiu County at this time was the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 35th Infantry Brigade of the 35th Infantry Brigade.

This is a Japanese infantry brigade that is good at defense and fighting hard battles, and its combat effectiveness is very strong.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and sneered, "We have already attacked Lingqiu many times before, not to mention, you Da Biao also personally commanded a troop to disguise the city and pass through Lingqiu County. Don't worry, as long as we fight resolutely, Lingqiu County will definitely be able to go down in one go! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao said a little embarrassed, so he was a little too worried.

Li Yunlong just laughed and commanded the troops to continue the rapid march south.

Hu Kai has a branch for each flower, just when Li Yunlong was seizing Guangling, more than 300 people were stationed to defend Guangling City, and the main force of more than 1,000 people went south, ambushing and annihilating the Japanese army under Shibayama Kotaro on the way, and continued to go south.

At this time, Lingqiu County was already covered in silver and snow.

The Japanese troops stationed in Lingqiu County were the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 35th Wing of the Devil's First Infantry Brigade at this time, with the captain Fujioka Musashi Shaosa, the chief of staff of the brigade, Captain Nanbu Taro, and the remaining garrison strength of about 12,300 people.

Lingqiu County was repeatedly broken by the new regiment, and most of the Japanese troops defending the city were annihilated.

Therefore, after entering Lingqiu Castle, which had no new regiment to garrison, Fujioka Takesashi attached great importance to the fortifications of the castle walls and even the headquarters in the city, so as not to be caught off guard when Li Yunlong's army came one day.

However, at this time, Fujioka Takezo was in his headquarters, frowning and frowning, and his expression was very solemn. Ever since he discovered that he couldn't contact the Japanese army under Kotaro Shibayama, who had gone north to reinforce the defenders of the Japanese army in Guangling, the old devil felt that something was wrong.

"Pedal Climb!"

Fujioka Takesashi rushed behind him, and saw the chief of staff of his brigade, Nanbu Taro, quickly stepped forward to Fujioka Takesashi, bowed his head and whispered, "Your Excellency Shaosa, you still can't contact Shibayama Kotaro's department!" We've been out of touch with Kotaro Shibayama for at least ten minutes or so! ”。

"Is it possible that they are crossing the eastern mountain range of Hengshan at this time, and the radio signal is temporarily weakened and they are unable to contact the command?" Fujioka Takesashi pointed to a section of the mountain range between Hiroei and Lingqiu Prefecture on the map.

Nanbu Taro shook his head and said, "According to the time, at this time, Shibayama Kotaro's convoy should have passed the northern foot of the mountain range and galloped on the mountain road, and the terrain has been opened, so it is impossible not to contact the brigade headquarters!" ”。

"Yaga! What the hell is Kotaro Shibayama doing? Clenching his fists and slamming them on the map in front of him, Fujioka Takezo said angrily.

Nanbu Tairo smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, we can only hope that Shibayama Kotaro and them will rush to Guangling City as soon as possible!" Perhaps, at this time, Shibayama Kotaro was in a hurry to reinforce the north, and did not respond to our call request! ”。

Fujioka Takesashi could only nod helplessly, and it seemed that he could only do that.

Shibayama Kotaro's reinforced squadron, which uses trucks as a mobile tool, can be regarded as the most combat-capable mobile unit among the several squadrons under the command of Fujioka Musashi. If the loss of reinforcements to the north is too great, it is understandable that Fujioka Takezo is depressed.

However, at this time, Fujioka Takezo was not worried for long, and the staff officer of the Japanese army on duty in a brigade headquarters rushed to report to the old devil with an urgent telegram.

"Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the aviation squadron that took off from Taiyuan and other places sent an urgent telegram that Guangling City had been lost and the defending troops had been annihilated. In addition, according to the air, the troops of the Eighth Route Army besieging Guangling are likely to go south to attack Lingqiu City, and I hope that your troops will strengthen their defense! ”

Hearing this, Fujioka Takesashi said in a condensed voice, "Nani? Guangling is lost! Nanbu Tailang, who had not left at this time, was also taken aback when he heard this.

Soon, the two old devils suddenly thought of us, and rushed to the place where the map was placed and looked down at the map.

Nanbu Taro said in an instant, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you can't contact Shibayama Kotaro and them, it is likely that something has happened!" At this time, Kotaro Shibayama is definitely going to contact us. But we called countless times, and Kotaro Shibayama's radio station did not respond! Perhaps, the Shina army, which captured Guangling, has already moved south and happened to ambush Shibayama Kotaro's troops! ”。

"Nanfang-kun, your analysis is very likely! Regardless of whether this is the case or not, with my orders, the troops of the city began to strengthen their guards, loaded their bullets, and ready to meet the enemy siege! Fujioka Takesashi also immediately gave an order to a Japanese staff officer at the headquarters.

The Japanese staff officer who was pointed out by Fujioka Takesashi immediately paused and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。

Less than ten minutes after the garrison order was issued, the Japanese army defending the city sent someone to report to Fujioka Musashi, and a large number of enemy soldiers arrived at Lingqiu City and surrounded the four gates of Lingqiu County, it seemed that they wanted to attack the city!
