Chapter 426: Turn around and go south

Hongtao Mountain is located in Datong, on the west side of Gushan, across the north and south, with countless mountains and mountains.

Once Li Yunlong and others led their troops to withdraw from Gushan Mountain, they went west to Hongtao Mountain and hid in the mountains. With the scale of Hongtao Mountain, it is not too easy to hide an army of more than 1,000 people.

And once Itagaki Seishiro led his troops to catch up, it was impossible to entangle Li Yunlong and others in the face of the mountains of Hongtao Mountain.

As soon as he thought of this, the old devil Seishiro Itagaki had a cold look in his eyes. In his eyes, a fire of anger burned.

Chased all the way from Xuanhua, and after only fighting a fierce encounter with the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and others in the Zhaojiayu area, he was always led by Li Yunlong and others, which was a great shame in Itagaki Seishiro's heart.

Now, people have ruthlessly slapped Itagaki Seishiro in the face in the lonely mountain town in the north, which is less than fifteen minutes away from Datong, which makes Itagaki Seishiro even more angry.

"Damn! Ordered the troops to assemble and immediately advance towards the Lonely Mountain. In this way, Ueno-kun, you personally lead a team, an infantry brigade, and make a rapid march from the direction of Datong Xicheng to make a detour to the west side of Gushan Mountain. Be sure to block Li Yunlong and the others in front of them on the way to evacuate Gushan Mountain to the west. Pointing to the map, Seishiro Itagaki cursed, and then ordered Ueno.

Ueno said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, the division commander, the humble post will definitely block the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and others!"

"Yo Xi, I will lead the rest of the imperial army troops and try my best to outflank the north and south directions of Li Yunlong and others!" Itagaki Seishiro said first, at this time, the old devil was also out of the way.

Ueno no longer hesitated, immediately bid farewell to Itagaki Seishiro, and directly took a 21st Infantry Wing under the command of the 44th Infantry Wing under the command of the 1st Brigade to draw out the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade, and hurriedly marched in the direction of Datong Xicheng, in a roundabout attempt to rush to the west side of Gushan Mountain and Hongtao Mountain to block Li Yunlong's headquarters from retreating west to Hongtao Mountain.

Itagaki Seishiro, on the other hand, was pale and led the Japanese soldiers of the rest of the troops under the command of the 21st Brigade to evacuate Datong and rush north after gathering.

**************

In Datong Castle, at this time, the commander of the 10th Division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Shitani, heard that the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division, which was resting outside the city, had rushed north under the command of Seishiro Itagaki.

At this time, Ryosuke Shinoya had received an urgent telegram from Yoshio Shinozuka, requesting that an infantry wing be dispatched to cooperate with Seishiro Itagaki's pursuing troops to encircle the troops commanded by Li Yunlong.

It's just that Li Yunlong and others did not attack Datong, but suddenly drew troops to the north and directly attacked Gushan.

"Seishiro Itagaki is really still in a hurry! Order the aviation to dispatch and cooperate with the headquarters of the 21st Brigade to strangle Li Yunlong and his troops! "Ryosuke Tsuya knows the power of the new group, and Datong is in an extremely important strategic location, so there must be no mistakes.

And now in Datong City, there are only two infantry wings, and some imperial army and police forces, with a total strength of more than 9,000 people, less than 10,000.

Therefore, although he had the intention to go out to pursue Li Yunlong and his troops. But comparatively speaking, Datong City is more important. Therefore, in order to avoid Itagaki Seishiro's anger afterwards that the 10th Division did not send infantry to cooperate, he could only send the Imperial Army Air Force at Datong Airport to support it.

Lest, Seishiro Itagaki gossip.

Adjutant Ryosuke on the side nodded, and then left to order the Japanese air force at Datong Airport to dispatch.

At this time, Seishiro Itagaki had already led the headquarters of the 21st Brigade and galloped north.

At this time, in the city of Lonely Mountain, the battle had ended. In the headquarters of the Japanese army defending the city in the city, Li Yunlong stood next to Miyagawa Zhe, who had already been beaten into a sieve, and was surprised.

"Made, this is the devil Lonely Mountain Squadron Leader Miyagawa Tetsu? Made, it's really shorter! Looking at the lying on the ground, with countless gunshot eyes on his body, Miyagawa Zhe's eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was not blind, Li Yunlong smiled and said.

Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team on the side, pointed to the captured puppet soldiers and said, "Interrogate these puppet soldiers, and they all say that they are the leader of the devil squadron, Miyagawa Tetsu." The squadron of the Japanese army under the jurisdiction of this guy belongs to the unit under the jurisdiction of the 63rd Wing of the 33rd Brigade under the jurisdiction of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and its combat effectiveness is still good. The brothers all fought a little hard, but they all killed their ghost soldiers, and none of them were left! ”。

"Well, the brothers are playing well! Let the brothers all hurry up and clean up the battlefield. Datong is less than fifteen minutes south of Gushan, and the devils will arrive in a hurry. If you get entangled, you're in trouble! After Li Yunlong motioned to the people on the side to escort the captured puppet soldiers down, he ordered Duan Peng on the side.

Duan Peng nodded and said, "Yes, Commander!" ”。

Less than half a minute after Duan Peng left, the soldiers of the communication corps who accompanied the army rushed up from behind Li Yunlong and reported on their feet.

"Regiment commander, the intelligence officer of our army in Datong City sent a secret telegram: The Japanese army Itagaki Seishiro who was resting outside Dongcheng suddenly transferred the strength of a Japanese infantry brigade five minutes ago, secretly detoured to Datong Xicheng and went north, straight into Hongtao Mountain and between the lonely mountains. Subsequently, Seishiro Itagaki led most of the remaining troops under the jurisdiction of his 21st Brigade to gallop north. It's less than ten minutes away from Lonely Mountain City now! ”

When Li Yunlong heard this, he hurriedly asked Wei Dayong, who was beside him, to take out a military map and spread it out on the ground, and his fingers slid on the map.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others had already arrived, and they had already heard the report of the communication corps, and their faces became solemn.

"Commander, the situation is not good! It seems that the devils of Gushan have reported to the Japanese army in Datong. And the headquarters of Seishiro Itagaki who was stationed outside Datong City to recuperate must have already known the news of Gushan being captured by us through the defenders of Datong. Itagaki Seishiro has judged that we may have the intention of going west to Hongtao Mountain, Commander, what should we do? Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion standing on the left side of Li Yunlong, said loudly, his eyes solemn.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said to Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others: "The situation is not favorable to us, and when we set off to the west, the Japanese infantry brigade that detoured north is bound to have rushed to our department to block it!" Once you get entangled in this devil, it's a big trouble! Therefore, our plan to go west to Hongtao Mountain is likely to be completed! ”。。

"Commander, but most of the Japanese army of Seishiro Itagaki who are galloping northward are already less than ten minutes away from us. At this time, if we don't go west to Hongtao Mountain, we will be passive! He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said urgently.

After being silent for a while, looking at the map, Li Yunlong suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Made, the troops are assembled, let's turn around and go south!" ”!
