"Ninety percent? Commander, you're bragging, aren't you? What are our odds? The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, said incredulously.

Hearing Li Yunlong's statement that the odds of winning the decisive battle against the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army were so high, the Da Biao brothers were all shocked!

I saw Li Yunlong laughing and saying, "Don't worry, brothers." It's not labor bragging, but I'm still talking less. You'll know when the time comes. By the way, Da Biao, how is the construction of the decisive battle position of the troops going? ”。

"Commander, brothers. After half an hour of construction, at least with the current terrain conditions, we have relied on the existing topography and have built a circular defensive position with our backs against the winding terrain at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. The construction of the left and right flanks and their frontal positions has been preliminarily completed. ”

After a pause and a sip of water, Zhang Dabiao continued: "In addition, when we withdrew from Datong City, we captured part of the barbed wire, hanging mines and other combat materials stored by the Japanese army in Datong City, which can create conditions for us to deploy barbed wire fortifications on the periphery of the trenches. At the moment, the barbed wire has been added up, and mines have been deployed on the perimeter. Regiment commander, the construction of the current position is basically 70 percent complete! ”。

"Good!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand to signal Zhang Dabiao to sit down, and then said: "The brothers have done a good job, and they will work hard to complete the construction of the fortifications." Lao He, most of the fighters of your fourth battalion are adapted from guerrillas, and they are not very suitable for positional warfare. But some of the rebel soldiers of the Jin Sui Army captured from Pinglu and Lijiazhen have already scattered into your four battalions. At present, although the positional combat capability of the four battalions has been strengthened, what do you think of the fact that I put your four battalions on the flanks? ”。

He Yongjie knew very well that what Li Yunlong said was right, that most of the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion were adapted from guerrillas, and they had the strength to fight mountain warfare. However, if you fight a positional battle with the elite troops of the Japanese army, your strength is not as good as Zhang Dabiao's battalion.

So He Yongjie stood up and said, "Yes, regiment commander, I obey the order!" ”。

"Okay, part of the position of the fourth battalion is on the two flanks, and the first battalion of Da Biao is deployed to defend the frontal blocking position. I will take the reserves to press the formation, and see the battle situation at any time to reinforce you! Li Yunlong said with a smile, and also motioned to He Yongjie to sit down by the way.

And Zhang Dabiao answered worriedly: "Regiment commander, once we and the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army face off in broad daylight, it will be extremely fierce. At the moment, we only have more than 2,000 men, and Itagaki Seishiro has at least 6,000 troops in his hands who can be mobilized at any time. According to a secret telegram from the intelligence officers lurking in Datong City, the more than 1,000 Japanese troops under the command of Seishiro Itagaki who were pursuing us from the direction of Killing Tiger Pass temporarily stopped in Pinglu and other places and did not withdraw to Datong. Therefore, we are facing the elite of more than 6,000 Japanese troops that Seishiro Itagaki has withdrawn to Datong City. However, what I'm worried about is that the other two Japanese troops in Datong City are a total of two wings of Japanese troops! ”。 Starting

"Are you worried that the Japanese troops with a total of two wings of reinforcements in Datong in Yanggao, Huairen and other places will join the 21st Infantry Brigade of Seishiro Itagaki and send troops together to attack after discovering that we are here?"

Zhang Dabiao said solemnly: "Yes, then at least then we will face at least 13,000 to more than 5,000 Japanese troops, six or seven times our Japanese troops. When the time comes, we will be under a lot of pressure! ”。 (Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

The rest of the commanders and fighters also nodded, their expressions were very solemn. In this way, the odds of your own side are ninety percent, which seems to be a bit optimistic. What's more, the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army also has a tank squadron in its hands, at least six Japanese-made Type 94 ultralight tanks. Although compared to foreign countries such as Eagle Sauce, this tank is simply a pee-ding tank, and it can only be regarded as an armored vehicle.

However, for the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which did not have tanks, it was undoubtedly heavy weaponry, which was enough to rampage and cover the Japanese infantry to attack their own positions, and its power should not be underestimated.

Coupled with the strength of the Japanese army, everyone's enthusiasm weakened for a moment.

Li Yunlong looked at everyone's expressions and encouraged: "Brothers, although what Da Biao said is right. But at least until we have the strength to break through the battle example of Datong, at least there will be no small number of troops left in Datong City. Therefore, even if Seishiro Itagaki wants to transfer other Japanese troops that do not belong to him to send troops together, it is estimated that Yoshio Shinozuka will not agree. ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued to smile and said, "Therefore, in Datong City, at least one or more Japanese troops need to stay behind. The actual strength of the dispatch is estimated to be only the devil of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Itagaki Division that was hastily transferred to Shanxi! Rest assured! Now, it is necessary to consider whether our positions can withstand the first wave of attack of the Japanese 21 Infantry Brigade! ”。

"That's no problem, Captain. It is backed by the Hengshan Mountain Range, and even if the Japanese army has fighter planes attacking, we can take refuge from air raids in the air-raid shelter and in the Hengshan Mountain behind us. The problem is not big, and the soldiers have broken through Datong and completely annihilated the 40th Wing of the Japanese Army in the city, and their morale is very strong, and the morale of the army is not a problem. The positions we have built, at least the flanks are much stronger, and the defensive forces on the front are also very strong, and the head-on attack on the devils is very powerful, regimental commander! Zhang Dabiao said solemnly, although he was worried that Itagaki Seishiro would strengthen his troops, but after Li Yunlong said this, it seemed to be the same thing, and he was a little relieved.

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "Okay, then let's go to all the brothers!" Continue to build up positions and be ready to meet the Japanese at any time according to the deployment just now. At the moment, there are at least three hours left before dawn! After the fortifications were dug up, the troops continued to rest. ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and others got up one after another to stand upright.

At least five hours later, at about eight o'clock in the morning, after Li Yunlong and others led their troops to evacuate Zhaojiayu, the Japanese cavalry reconnaissance unit followed Li Yunlong's army from a distance to the decisive battlefield, discovered Li Yunlong's movements, and immediately sent back an urgent telegram to Itagaki Seishiro after confirming it.

Major General Ueno Masa, chief of staff of the Japanese Army's Itagaki Division, who received the urgent telegram, rushed to the temporary headquarters of Itagaki Seishiro in Datong Castle to report that Itagaki Seishiro had already rested all night.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, after discovering that Li Yunlong has evacuated from Zhaojiayu Starry Night, he has entered here: the northern foot of the northern mountain range of Hengshan Mountain north of Guangling County, and the narrow area south of the Sangqian River are building fortifications on a large scale, as if they are waiting for our imperial army!"

Itagaki Seishiro said angrily when he heard this: "Li Yunlongan dares to do this? This is contempt for me Itagaki Seishiro! The intention is very obvious, do you want to fight my 21st Brigade in a decisive battle? ”。

Without waiting for Ueno to answer, the Japanese communications staff officer on the side of the headquarters hurriedly took a telegram that had just been translated, and said urgently: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Li Yunlong, commander of the new regiment of China, has sent a telegram in clear code, and we want to fight a decisive battle with our 21st Brigade in the area north of Guangling and south of the Sangqian River!" ”。 Fastest update on PC:/
