Li Yunlong, who entered the inner city of Datong, saw the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield along the way, and nodded secretly.

The bodies of the devils who had been killed were scattered everywhere, and some of the neighborhoods that had been blown upside down by artillery fire were on fire. Many fighters are struggling to extinguish the fire so that it does not spread.

Although there is light rain at this time, once the fire spreads, it will cause a large fire.

"Brigade Commander, this time we have won a big victory. Killed more than 1,000 people of a brigade of Japanese troops defending the city. In addition, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers who participated in the temporary defense of the city were annihilated. A large amount of grain and grass were seized, especially a batch of devil military supplies that were transported to Datong from the direction of Zhangjiakou and were ready to be transported south through the Tongpu Railway. It's a lot, I'm afraid we won't be able to take it with us! The staff officer of the Independent Brigade in charge of the statistics of the results of the battle chased after Li Yunlong and reported to Li Yunlong excitedly.

Li Yunlong nodded, something expected.

Datong is an important town in northern Shanxi, the starting point of the Tongpu Railway, and most of the Japanese military supplies transported from the direction of Zhangjiakou will continue to be transported south after stopping in Datong to supply more than 100,000 troops of devils fighting on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain at this time.

Therefore, there must be a lot of seizures in Datong City.

"That's it! Immediately to the Baishan Mountain, the Hongtao Mountain area near Datong, and the nearby mountainous areas where there are guerrillas of our Eighth Route Army, and the local armed forces urgently contacted them, asking them to quickly send troops into Datong to coordinate the transportation of the spoils of war. It's a pity that so many military supplies are blown up if they can't be taken away. We still have more than three hours to move supplies, which should be enough! ”

After thinking about it, Li Yunlong suddenly realized that at present, his side has quickly conquered Datong, and there are still at least three hours before dawn.

Before that, the Japanese reinforcements that came from the south, the devils of the 77th Brigade under the 33rd Division, were transported north by special trains. Before dawn, it is simply impossible to get to Datong. In other words, this is extremely beneficial for transporting the weapons and ammunition, grain and grass and other materials captured by the devils in Datong City.

Once the armed forces of one's own guerrillas and localities in the nearby mountainous areas are mobilized, it is easy to mobilize one or two hundred thousand people. And time, it should be enough.

Sure enough, the statistical staff officer responded: "Understood, brigade commander." He immediately went to deploy.

And Li Yunlong, under the escort of Wei Dayong and others, entered the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army in the inner city.

As soon as he entered, Zhang Dabiao and other commanders and fighters had already gathered inside.

"Brigadier Commander! This devil is not hidden enough! ”

"Yes, Brigadier Commander, we don't have any strength!"

"Brigade commander, where are we going to fight next?"

...........

As soon as they saw Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and other commanders and fighters who walked in, they all laughed. Free Chinese

Li Yunlong waved his hand, pressed it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brothers are quiet!" It's still early in the morning and night, and we're playing well. At least in less than an hour, they completely annihilated the devil defenders of Datong and regained Datong. The big guys are playing well. Right now, we still have a lot of time, so there's no need to rush for the time being! ”。

Everyone also smiled, at this time, the independent brigade had conquered Datong in advance. The headquarters of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, which had been transferred north from the Zhongtiao Mountain front, had captured Datong before they rushed to Datong, which had already given the independent brigade a very strong favorable condition.

In other words, the Independent Brigade can now rest for two hours before withdrawing from Datong.

As for now, Li Yunlong is thinking about how to deal with the headquarters of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, which was transferred north from the Naosaburo Okabe front line in Naosabi.

The devil combat effectiveness of the 33rd Brigade of the 77th Division is really not weak, and it is not hot, and the main force of the division to which this brigade belongs will be transferred by Naosaburo Okabe to participate in the Battle of Nakajo Mountain.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "Although we have a lot of time now, the troops can rest in Datong City for two hours. However, we still control Datong temporarily, but we cannot control Datong after dawn. As soon as the morning dawns, the group of little devils will be able to unscrupulously carry out aerial bombardment of our independent brigade. When we came out this time, the troops did not carry high-altitude mobile guns. So, before dawn, we have to evacuate Datong. Now the key question is, where to maneuver next? ”。

"Brigade commander, why don't we withdraw from Datong, how about we retreat west to Zuoyun and attack Yunyang Fort, and attack and advance to the east bank of the Yellow River such as Biguan and Baode?" Shen Qun, the second head of the regiment, suggested.

Li Yunlong didn't speak for the first time, but just asked Wei Dayong to take out the map and unfold it, look at it, shake his head and say: "Attacking this line is not very great for the deterrence and pressure of Okabe Naosaburo, or it has no effect at all. If we want to fight, we must hurt Naosaburo Okabe, and by the way, support the friendly forces in the first theater of the National Army in the battle. Taking this line, the support for the National Army troops in the First Theater of the National Army on the Zhongtiao Mountain front line is not very strong. ”。

"What do you mean, Brigadier?"

Li Yunlong smiled, pointed to the map and said: "Now there are more than three hours before dawn, and the victory is over, and the lonely mountain has been captured by me." There were not many Japanese troops in the Zuoyun area, and it was impossible for them to attack Datong. We .......".

Li Yunlong had just spoken of us, when he was interrupted by a report, "Report to the brigade commander, we have seized the last telegram sent by the First Army of the Taiyuan Japanese Army to the devils of Datong from the headquarters of the Futian Brigade. ”

"Bring it !!" After Li Yunlong said a word, the soldier who reported the situation handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong quickly read it, and immediately handed it to Zhang Dabiao and others for circulation.

"Made, this old devil Taro Miyano actually ordered Fengzhen, Zuoyun, Gaoyang, Tianzhen and other Japanese troops close to Datong to attack and advance towards Datong with all their might. It's going to entangle us! Li Yunlong sneered, and Taro Miyano's intentions could be seen without much thought.

At this time, all the commanders and fighters who had read the telegram had solemn expressions, and although the devils in these towns did not have many troops according to the intelligence, there were three or four thousand people in total. Once the independent brigade is encircled, or even semi-encircled, it will also form an effective suppression of the independent brigade.

Even, it was able to hold back the main force of the Independent Brigade in Datong City.

At this time, more than 10,000 elite Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, which had already moved north from the south, arrived at Datong, which would pose a real threat to the main force of the independent brigade.

"Brigadier Commander, don't be careless. There are not many devils in these areas, but once they form an encirclement posture in Datong, it is very likely to drag us under the city of Datong! When the time comes, the headquarters of the 77th Brigade of the Devil's New Force Army, which is coming from the south and the north, will pose a major threat to me. Don't be careful! Zhang Dabiao, commander of the first regiment and chief of staff, said in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong nodded, and then sneered: "In this way, we must first deal with the Japanese army closest to our Zuoyun direction!! Then, go south in advance to meet the devil 77 brigade! ”。
