"Good! Since the big guys agreed, then rest in Datong for an hour, and the troops secretly went south to enter the ambush site after recuperating their strength! Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice.

"Yes, Brigadier !!"

The crowd responded with a bang, and then dispersed.

And when Li Yunlong and others were discussing the main force of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Devil, Taiyuan City, the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

"Bang!!"

Taro Miyano, who was waiting in the command room of the military headquarters, finally couldn't calm down, and in a fit of rage, he slammed a cup of tea on the table to the ground.

Okada Jino, the staff officer on duty at the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, who was standing on the side, was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, so as not to touch Miyano Taro's brows!

A few minutes later, Taro Miyano, who had eased down, walked back to the side of the map placed in the military headquarters command room, and looked at the huge map of Jin Province with a gloomy face.

The Datong above has been captured and recovered by the Independent Brigade again. For Miyano Taro, although he had expected that it would be impossible to block the attack of the independent brigade with the strength of the Japanese defenders in Datong, he did not expect that it would be lost so quickly.

The loss of Datong paralyzed the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, and it was difficult for the Japanese military supplies transported from the direction of Zhangjiakou to pass through Datong.

"Eight Tooth Road! The attack of the independent brigade was simply too fast. Taro Miyano muttered with a gloomy face.

At this time, the staff officer on duty on the side, Okada Jino, said: "Chief of staff, Datong is lost. The northern part of Jin was under attack by the Independent Brigade. The imperial army heading south in the direction of Fengzhen reported that the independent brigade that attacked and occupied the victory pass was at least one cavalry battalion in size, and it also had the advantage of terrain. They attacked many times in a row, but they still couldn't win the victory despite heavy casualties. In addition, just now, the defenders in the Zuoyun direction have been dispatched to attack Datong. However, when encountering a fierce battle in the westward advance of the Independent Brigade, Zuo Yun had an imperial army of less than 1,000 people, and he had lost the battle in a hurry. Now, retreat to Zuoyun! ”。

"What? Bring! Seeing that Okada Jino was reporting with a telegram, Miyano Taro immediately frowned, and immediately waved his hand to signal Okada Jino.

Okada Jino immediately handed the urgent telegram from the Japanese army of Zuoyun that he had just received in his hand to Taro Miyano, and after reading it, Taro Miyano was not angry, "Send a telegram to Zuoyun's imperial army, order them to defend Zuoyun City, block the attack of the independent brigade, and keep the city!" ”

"Yes, Chief of Staff!" Jino Okada paused heavily.

However, Miyano Taro then asked, "How are the garrisons in the northeast of Datong such as Gaoyang and Tianzhen doing?" ”。

"In accordance with the orders of the military headquarters, we have advanced along the railway to Datong, but we have encountered a large number of attacks by guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way, and the casualties have gradually increased. Chief of Staff, the number of troops in these places is not much, and at this time Datong has been lost, and continuing to attack Datong is tantamount to a moth to a fire! Okada Jino still said in a low voice, the Japanese troops in these directions are not advancing towards Datong, even if they kill Datong, this amount of strength can only be used as a snack for the independent brigade. Pointless.

Miyano Taro didn't reprimand Okada Jino, but thought about it silently, and in the military headquarters command room at night, Miyano Taro's face was even more gloomy.

"Forget it, Datong has been lost. Order the imperial army in Gaoyang and other places to maintain an offensive posture, and there is no need to rush to attack Datong! Miyano Taro thought about it, and finally accepted Okada Jino's suggestion and ordered the devil troops in these towns to suspend the rapid attack on Datong, and then take a look. Single

Okada Jino secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked to the side to send a report.

And Miyano Taro looked at the map with solemn eyes, and at this time he was still attacking Datong in accordance with the orders of Okabe Naosaburo and Miyano Taro who went north with more than 10,000 Japanese troops under the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army. This is a strengthened version of the Japanese brigade, which is already considered a temporary devil detachment.

At this time, Okada Jino had already walked back, and Miyano Taro, who had thought about it silently, said in a condensed voice: "Send a report to Your Excellency the Commander to report the news of the loss of Datong." In addition, on my behalf, I would like to suggest to His Excellency the Commander whether to suspend the operation of the 77 Brigade to go north to Datong? ”。

"Hai, Chief of Staff, I understand my humble position." Jino Okada nodded, and then responded.

And Miyano Taro is bitter in his heart, Li Yunlong's troops are really ghostly, and they always oppose their first army.

"Eight Geya Road, Li Yunlong, sooner or later, you will have to eat Ru meat and sleep Ru skin!" Taro Miyano secretly dragged a sentence in his heart.

It's just that if Li Yunlong knew, he would definitely despise it.

..............

The Japanese army headquarters on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain, inside the city of Yuncheng!

"Your Excellency Commander, Taiyuan Emergency! Datong is lost!" Okabe Naosaburo's staff officer on duty, Jitaro Kawaguchi, walked quickly to Okabe Naosaburo's side, reported in a low voice, and by the way, he handed the telegram in his hand directly to Okabe Naosaburo.

Okabe Naosaburo was silent when he heard this, and took the telegram and looked at it.

Although Okabe Naosaburo also knew that it was almost impossible to completely block the independent brigade with the strength of the devil defenders in Datong City, it was just a strong Datong town fortified city, which was once again recovered by Li Yunlong's troops, he still slapped Okabe Naosaburo hard, and hit the old devil with gold stars in his eyes.

"Datong was lost, and since I took over the First Army, I was slapped hard by Li Yunlong again." Naosaburo Okabe actually put down the telegram and laughed at himself a little.

Jitaro Kawaguchi, who reported the situation, was speechless, but then he still persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. What's more, if it weren't for the fact that the Independent Brigade took advantage of the fact that most of the main force of our First Army went south to Zhongtiao Mountain to fight here. With the main force of our First Army, we can still hold Datong. At the moment, it is just that there are not many defenders in Datong City, which makes Li Yunlong take advantage of the loophole. ”。

"Forget it, forget it. The loss of Datong is inevitable, and this has a great impact on us. In particular, the railway communication line of the northern section of Jinjin, which continued southward from the direction of Zhangjiakou through the Tongpu Railway to transport the grain, grass, ammunition and other supplies of our army of more than 100,000 troops, was cut off by the Independent Brigade! ”

Okabe Naosaburo said with a heavy face: "Datong can't be in the hands of the Independent Brigade for a long time, it must be recaptured before dawn!" A telegram was sent to General Miyano, ordering the 77th Brigade to continue north and recapture Datong before dawn. At the very least, it would be best if the Independent Brigade was arrogant and did not evacuate Datong. Even if the more than 10,000 imperial troops of the 77th Brigade were unable to attack the city and recapture Datong, it was a great credit to block the independent brigade in Datong City after dawn. Once dawn, the air fighters of our imperial army can carry out unscrupulous bombing of the independent brigade trapped in Datong City from the air! ”。

When Jitaro Kawaguchi heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, Li Yunlong was very cunning, could he trap them in the city under the soldiers of the 77th Brigade in Datong?

It's just that seeing that Okabe Naosaburo said this, it also makes sense, "Hai, Your Excellency Commander, I will send an urgent telegram to Taiyuan immediately!" ”

However, at this time, Li Yunlong had already formulated an ambush plan, and was waiting for more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army to throw themselves into the net.
