"Let our people supervise the Imperial Army, if the Imperial Army dares to escape, they will all die!"

Junichiro Mizuta can only order like this, using devil soldiers to supervise the various units of the Imperial Allied Army. If you dare to escape, shoot them all!

Abe Jun also said helplessly: "It can only be like this, it's just the captain, the enemy cavalry outside the city is densely packed, there are more than 10,000, and it is also Li Yunlong's cavalry team." If it were other enemy forces, we would still have a chance to go out of the city and fight back, but now I'm afraid there is no way! The other party's strength is too strong! ”。

Junichiro Mizuta looked outside the city and saw that outside the North Gate, the soldiers of the Third Brigade of Ma Wenhai's headquarters were already preparing for an attack.

The first raid failed, with the loss of dozens of fighters. Fortunately, the casualties were not large, and they were within Li Yunlong's tolerance.

Now that Junichiro Mizuda saw this, his eyes suddenly became solemn.

"Send a telegram to Kaifeng again and ask the division commander for tactical guidance!" Junichiro Mizuta thought about it, and said with a helpless wry smile.

Abe Jun paused and said, "Hai, captain." He then turned and left.

And Junichiro Mizuta saw that there were many enemy troops outside the North Gate, and judged that the focus of Li Yunlong's attack should be the North Gate.

It's just that the artillery of Wang Chengzhu outside the city is taking the disassembled infantry guns from the back of the war horse and is being formed.

Clearly constructing an artillery position, Junichiro Mizuta was frightened, and the opponent's artillery seemed to be a bit much!

"Bage Yalu, I, Junichiro Mizuta, am really unlucky, I actually met Li Yunlong's main cavalry force! I really can't escape this time! Junichiro Mizuda smiled secretly with a little bitterness in his heart at this time.

Luyi City has been surrounded by the other party, and it is estimated that there are not many devils in the city, even if they want to be recruited temporarily, no one has recruited them.

As for the 5,000 Imperial Cooperative Army, it looks like a lot, but Junichiro Mizuta understands that it is not bad if the Imperial Cooperative Army does not oppose the water.

"I hope the division commander can send reinforcements!" Junichiro Mizuta thinks!

……

At this time, the urgent telegram of the attack on Luyi finally reached the headquarters of the 35th Division of the Devils in Kaifeng City.

"The commander of the division, Luyi has been attacked and has been surrounded by Li Yunlong's main cavalry force. The defenders of Luyi had only 1,000 people, and there were 5,000 imperial troops. Fortunately, Junichiro Mizuta, the captain of the Luyi garrison, strengthened the vigilance in accordance with the order of the division commander. The opposing soldiers suddenly attacked the city when they approached the city, and after encountering the timely detection of the defenders of Luyi, they repelled the enemy's night attack with machine gun fire at the head of the city! At present, the battle situation is urgent, and the defenders of Luyi ask for reinforcements! The chief of staff of the division, Jitaro Aodo, said in a condensed voice.

Genguchi waved his hand and said, "I know!" ”。

Then, Genguchi stared intently at the military map on the table in front of him, frowning.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong's southward cavalry army did not fight Bozhou, but fought Luyi instead! Luyi is also a big city in Bozhou, with a population of hundreds of thousands, but for Li Yunlong's cavalry army, even if Luyi is captured, the strategic significance is not great!

It's just that although I don't know the reason why the other party suddenly didn't fight Bozhou and changed to Luyi City, if he didn't send troops to reinforce the defenders of Luyi, then Luyi City would inevitably be breached.

It is not a pity for the five thousand Imperial Association troops in the city, but more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were annihilated, which made Yuankou feel a little distressed.

After all, the devil soldiers in Luyi City are all troops under his 35th Division, and there are fewer than a thousand people, which is simply distressing.

In addition, the 35th Division itself is now not yet in order, and it has to send troops to strictly defend the important cities and important places on the Longhai Line east of Kaifeng, and the troops are extremely scarce. And it is simply impossible to use the Imperial Allied Army to guard the Longhai Line east of Kaifeng, after all, the loyalty of the Imperial Allied Army is very questioned by Yuankou Yixin.

After all, there have already been times when the Imperial Allied Army suddenly rebelled against them! After Li Yunlong commanded 15,000 cavalry to go south, in order to ensure the safety of the Longhai line east of Kaifeng, all the imperial troops stationed in the cities below the Longhai line were transferred and only the Japanese army was used.

It's just that in this way, the Japanese troops in Genguchi's hands are extremely nervous.

With the loss of one devil, the 35th Division will have one less force in its hands, which is simply unacceptable to Genguchi Isshin.

Looking at the map, Genguchi thought a lot in an instant, but the chief of staff of the division, Jitaro Aoto, who was on the side, said loudly: "Division commander, division commander, what should we do?" The defenders of Luyi are in an emergency, asking for reinforcements! ”。

Without waiting for the source to speak, the devil staff officer from the communication office on one side hurriedly arrived and said, "Your Excellency the commander of the report, the defenders of Luyi have sent an urgent telegram again, requesting reinforcements!" ”。

"Bring it!"

Hearing this, Yuankou looked solemn and asked the communications staff officer to hand over the message.

After receiving the telegram and reading it quickly, Yuankou waved his hand and said, "Send a report to the defenders of Luyi, and wait for help." Reinforcements are on their way! ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander." The devil communications staff officer of the 35th Division headquarters left in response.

And Aoto Jitaro said: "What does the division commander mean by transferring the Bozhou defenders to the west for reinforcements?" ”。

"Not bad! The Bozhou garrison now has at least 5,000 imperial troops, 5,000 imperial troops! In this way, you can contact the defenders of Bozhou and ask them to send 3,000 men and horses and 5,000 imperial troops to reinforce the defenders of Luyi in the west. Bozhou is very safe now, just leave 2,000 imperial troops to defend the city. Genguchi nodded and said to Jitaro Aoto.

Aoto Jitaro paused heavily and said: "In this way, the main force of the enemy's cavalry attacking Luyi should be evacuated from Luyi." Just rushing from Bozhou to Luyi, it will take at least an hour for reinforcements to set off now. I'm afraid that the defenders of Luyi won't be able to hold it for an hour! ”。

"Don't be afraid!"

Yuankou shook his head and said, "Luyi is an ancient city, the city walls are strong and thick, and we have already called the defenders of the cities below to send a telegram to convey the order to be vigilant. Now that Luyi's troops have reacted, and Junichiro Mizuta is also a member of my 35th Division, it shouldn't be a problem to hold Luyi for an hour! Call them back to inform them of the reinforcements! Hold on for an hour, it's okay to think about it. ”。

"It's just that even if reinforcements arrive, they will only be able to break the siege by then."

Aoto Jitaro bows his head, which is not bad!

The opponent is cavalry, which can withdraw from the siege of Luyi at any time and attack in other directions. And the devils in Luyi City and the devils who reinforced them don't have many cavalry, so even if they want to pursue them at that time, they can't catch up.

What's more, the main force of the enemy's cavalry is more than fifteen thousand, how can it be pursued? It's good to be able to enter the city and hold on to the city.

"I hope the imperial army of Luyi can hold for an hour!" Aoto Jitaro smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile, at the moment, he could only wait for the 15th Cavalry Brigade and the 16th Cavalry Brigade to arrive and then go south to pursue the main force of the enemy's cavalry.

At this time, the old devil said in one breath: "Where are the two cavalry brigades now?" ”。
