Genguchi was single-minded, and Jitaro Aoto's analysis was not wrong.

Although there was still more than an hour before dawn, it was already dawn by the time the enemy cavalry took Neihuang City.

Once they moved south along the railway line to attack the Guide area, they were very vulnerable to air raids and bombardment by their own fighters.

Genguchi believed that if he was the commander of the enemy's cavalry, he would definitely not continue to attack the Guide area after taking Neihuangcheng.

It's just that the enemy cavalry that suddenly appeared was at least 10,000 horsemen, coming and going like the wind, and had strong mobility.

If the other side goes south to attack the Guide area, even if it encounters aerial bombardment, it can continue to move south after evading for a while.

And there is only one infantry brigade of devils in Guide City, although there are some of the Imperial Army, but the total strength is only more than 3,000 people!

These armies, relying on the fortified cities of Guide, could hold on for a while.

But Lanfeng City was soon captured, and Lanfeng's devils called back to report that although the enemy troops attacking Lanfeng were all cavalry, they carried at least more than 20 infantry guns with their troops, and the artillery fire was fierce, and they could do it with all their might to besiege Guide.

After thinking about it again and again, he hesitated, and Yuan Kou pondered and meditated: "Although it is possible that the other party will attack to the south of Taikang after capturing the Inner Yellow City. However, the possibility of continuing southward in the area of Guide in the opposite direction cannot be ruled out. We have now warned the city of Guide, strengthened our defenses, and defended the upper city. However, the opponent has more than 10,000 horsemen, and the force is too strong. And before the loss of Lanfeng, the defenders reported that the enemy attacking Lanfeng had a large number of heavy machine guns and submachine guns. The firepower of the melee was so fierce that it could not be assumed that the enemy cavalry army would not continue south and attack Guide. ”。

"What does the division commander mean?" Jitaro Aoto said in a condensed voice.

Yuankou pointed to the map of Yu Province on the table of the division headquarters, and said in a condensed voice: "Judging from the map, it is estimated that the combat intention of this army at this time may be to cut off the Longhai line. This poses a great threat to our military supply to the imperial army attacking troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area through the Longhai Line, and once the Longhai Line is cut off, our hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area will face the threat of cutting off military supplies. Qingtengjun, you know, the northern section of Tongpu Road has been cut off by Li Yunlong's troops and the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and a lot of damage has been done. In a short period of time, the train that transports supplies south from Dong Po Road may not work. If something happens here again, the supply line of the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops will be cut off again, which is a great threat to the imperial army that is storming Zhongtiao Mountain. ”。

"What does the division commander mean that the combat goal of this enemy army is to cut off the Longhai line?"

Hearing this, Jitaro Aoto had a solemn look in his eyes, this is not an impossible thing.

After all, the enemy's army went south from Fengqiu, that is, from the north.

Although it is not known whether the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were operating in Ji Province or Lu Province, went south to carry out the plan to cut off the Longhai line.

However, judging from the current situation, it is really the other side's operational intention to cut off the Longhai line.

When the enemy cut off the Longhai line, the attacking forces attacking the Zhongtiao Mountain area lost another supply line.

Although it won't have much impact in a short period of time, Jitaro Aoto understands that things can't be counted like this.

Thinking of this, Aoto Jitaro said: "Then you can only order the defenders of Guide to defend Guide!" In addition, send a report to Xuzhou and ask for reinforcements! Xuzhou has a brigade of the imperial army, and it should be no problem to transfer one or two brigades west to reinforce Decheng, Your Excellency the division commander. ”。

Yuankou nodded wholeheartedly, this is a solution, although Xuzhou's troops are not his troops.

However, they are all troops subordinate to the North China Front Army of the Devils, and it should be no problem to ask for reinforcements from friendly and neighboring troops to return to Decheng.

"Then send a report to the Xuzhou defenders and ask them to send two infantry brigades, at least one infantry brigade to reinforce Guide City immediately!" Genguchi waved his hand and ordered Jitaro Aoto.

"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Aoto Jitaro paused heavily when he heard this.

And Yuankou Yixin looked at the map with solemn eyes, and the terrain in eastern Henan was flat, suitable for cavalry vertical and horizontal.

Yuankou wholeheartedly believed that there were so many unknown enemy cavalry, and it would not be a hasty and temporary attack on the eastern Henan area. But it is extremely targeted, the old devil thought about it, and there is a high probability that it may be the Eighth Route Army or the Jin Sui Army, or other Chinese troops to attack eastern Henan, cut off the Longhai line, and support the combat operations of the first theater of the National Army.

It's just that Yuankou sneered, and wanted to cut off the Longhai line, delusional!

However, Genguchi sneered in his heart.

Li Yunlong and others, who quickly moved south from Lanfeng, commanded the main cavalry force to attack and advance along the railway line to the inner Huangcheng.

Neihuangcheng is also only a county seat, located on the Longhai line. When the terrain was flat, Neihuangcheng could not resist the siege attack of 15,000 cavalry.

However, Inner Huangcheng is nearly an hour's distance from Lanfeng, and this is according to the speed of the cavalry!

By the time Li Yunlong and the others sped up their speed to kill Neihuang City, the four gates of the city were already closed, and there were already devils and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army on the head of the city to guard the city.

Li Yunlong led the army to the Inner Yellow City and surrounded the small Inner Yellow City impenetrable!

The small Inner Yellow City is already surrounded by Li Yunlong's army!

Looking around the inner Yellow City, Li Yunlong found that there were not many enemy troops in the city, and the main forces were concentrated at the north gate.

At this time, Duan Peng, the commander of the special forces, rushed to Li Yunlong with several special forces soldiers and three captured soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

"Division commander, I caught three second devils and asked them separately. There are only more than 200 devils in Inner Huangcheng and a squadron. There are also less than a thousand Imperial Allies! The total strength is about 12,300 people! Duan Peng saluted and reported.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, let's press down the captive." ”。

After Duan Peng escorted the captives down, Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao: "Use a knife to kill chickens, Zhang Dabiao, you have a brigade of troops, give you half an hour, and you can take Neihuangcheng!" ”。

"Yes, Commander. Solve it in 20 minutes! Zhang Dabiao smiled and reassured.

At this point, the enemy troops in Huangcheng are not enough for him Zhang Dabiao to eat alone!

Li Yunlong clapped his hands and said, "Okay! With less than 40 minutes to go until dawn, we can't stay in Inner Yellow City for much longer. After taking Neihuang, we can't have time to attack Guide. It is necessary to go west, into the woods and hide in the woods. ”。
