Since Matsui Shigen already knew that the county seat of Shangdu had been lost, it was no longer necessary to rush to the county seat of Shangdu in a hurry at this time.

The devil soldiers of the 3rd Division have been exhausted from the rapid march, and the Shang capital has been lost, so let's slow down and rest at this time!

At the sound of an order, the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army lay on both sides of the marching road one by one and rested.

Matsui Shigen pulled Kage Zuo Zhenzhao aside to do it, spread out the map and continued to discuss: "Shang is lost, Li Yunlong can go south and north, and go east, but he will not turn around and go west." Otherwise, we'll crash into our army! ”。

"Not bad! Your Excellency, General! ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao nodded and said: "The Shang capital is lost, and Li Yunlong has three directions to maneuver!" Now, I can't figure out the direction of Li Yunlong's next move! Your Excellency General, Li Yunlong is very cunning, good at commanding the post to march and attack, once he breaks through the city garrisoned by the imperial army on the mobile road, he will definitely not stay long! At this time, Li Yunlong captured the Shangdu, and it is estimated that he has already begun to evacuate the Shangdu at this time! ”。

Although there were only more than 20 minutes left before the Shangdu, Matsui Shigen and Kagezo Zhenzhao knew that within at least ten minutes, Li Yunlong would command the post to withdraw from the Shangdu county and continue to fight guerrillas.

"So, it's a helpless solution for us to rest now! Ying Zuojun, where do you think Li Yunlong will attack next? ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao looked at the map and was silent for more than ten seconds, "Your Excellency General, Li Yunlong is cunning, and his department has a strong ability to maneuver. Shang Capital, Li Yunlong will not go south to attack Kangbao at this time. The 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Infantry Wing, the 2nd Independent Brigade that retreated to Kangbao, is a fully formed infantry brigade with a total strength of more than 1,200 troops. According to Kangbao, Li Yunlong could not capture Kangbao in a short period of time. At this time, we were only more than twenty minutes away from the main army of Li Yunlong's department! Li Yunlong, there is a high probability that he will not attack Kangbao in the south, and attack Zhangbei, Zhangjiakou and other places! After all, these places are already heavily garrisoned by the Empire! Li Yunlong will not kill himself. ”

"Oh! What about Li Yunlong's northward journey? ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao shook his head and said, "No!" Most of the areas in the north are deserts, and there are few towns, which is not conducive to Li Yunlong's army of seven or eight thousand to supply along the way! And the terrain along the way to the north is flat, which is not conducive to the march of the army to hide! ”。

"That is, there is a high probability that Li Yunlong will withdraw from the Shang capital and go east?" Matsui Ishine pondered and said, his face was very exciting.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency, General, I humbly believe that in our pursuit, Li Yunlong can only have favorable conditions for resting and hiding if he advances eastward and enters the mountains and mountains in the northeastern part of Yinshan Mountain!" Otherwise, going south and north is not the best direction of attack! On the way east, there are many targets that can be used for Li Yunlong's headquarters to attack, and it is also conducive to the supply of Li Yunlong's command post along the way! ”。

"Yo Xi, Kagesa-kun's analysis is very likely! In this way, the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Infantry Wing under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Independent Brigade was ordered to defend Kangbao, and the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 18th Infantry Wing in Ulan were ordered to go south to the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain to set up a blocking line, so as to block Li Yunlong's eastward advance! Order the three infantry brigades of the 19th Infantry Wing in Zhangbei, Baochang, and Duolun to defend to the death! ”

Shadow Zuozhen heard this, and stood up and said: "Haiyi, Your Excellency General, obey your orders!" That's what I'm going to deploy! ”。

"Yo Xi, it's hard work to shadow Sakun!" Matsui Ishone nodded and said.

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao nodded and said modestly, and then hurriedly sent someone to send a report to order the devil garrisons in these places to strengthen their defenses.

At this time, in the county town of Shangdu, the scene after the war is the same as before!

In the county town, there are corpses of killed devils everywhere, stumps and broken arms are everywhere, and the fire caused by artillery fire has been extinguished by a new group of soldiers who have cleaned up the battlefield. The people in the county town had already come out, and they were very happy to learn that it was the troops of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army who attacked the county seat of Shangdu.

Although they knew that Li Yunlong and others would soon withdraw from Shangdu, the common people also came out of their homes one after another to assist the soldiers of the battalions of the new regiment in cleaning up the battlefield.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, ordered all units to send the rest of the weapons and equipment to the local guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Shangdu, except for the immediate replenishment of the lost grain and grass ammunition, and the captured grain and grass were secretly distributed to the common people.

Li Yunlong was walking on the streets of Shangdu County at this time, surrounded by a new group of soldiers who were constantly cleaning the battlefield and ordinary people in the county who came out to help, looking like they were in full swing.

"Commander, Commander! The preliminary results are out! The staff officer of the army who was responsible for counting the results of the battle hurriedly rushed to Li Yunlong at this time, stood up and saluted, and said with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong clapped his hands and smiled: "Say, how about the results?" ”。

"Yes, Commander! In this attack on the county seat of Shangdu, our troops annihilated a total of 1,739 Japanese puppet troops defending the city and captured 32 soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army. Among them, 621 Japanese-made Type 38 rifles, 11 light and heavy machine guns, 6 mortars, 13 grenadiers, and 1 Japanese-made Type 92 infantry gun were captured! ”

After a pause, the statistical staff officer of the accompanying army continued to report: "In addition, according to the interrogated prisoners of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the devils in Chahar have a total of one brigade and regiment of troops, including one infantry brigade stationed in Kangbao, Shangdu, Ulan, Baochang, Duolun, and Zhangbei!" According to the captured soldiers of the Imperial Army, the Japanese troops in Baochang, Ulan, Zhangbei, Duolun and other places have strengthened their vigilance and established a blocking line to block our eastward attack! ”。

"Made, you have to stop us!" Li Yunlong was familiar with the Chahar map, and he knew in his mind the plans of the remaining Devil Divisions of the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Devils, which was to establish a blocking line and block him from leading his troops eastward!

After all, once Li Yunlong led his troops eastward, he would reach the northeastern mountain range of Yinshan along the northern foot of Yinshan. Once Li Yunlong led his troops into the northeastern mountains of Yinshan, Matsui Shigen could be regarded as eye-catching.

The devil has such a move, which is already expected!

Li Yunlong immediately ordered: "Order all departments to assemble within five minutes, and we will immediately withdraw from Shangdu County!" ”。

"Commander, where to attack?" The statistical staff officer of the army asked.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Gather troops first!" If you can't clean up the battlefield, you can leave it to the local guerrillas to take over! Tell the guerrillas that there are nearly 30,000 devils in the main force of Matsui Shigen who are chasing after them, and let them withdraw from Shangdu and withdraw to their base within ten minutes after we withdraw from the county seat of Shangdu! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" The statistical staff officer of the army stood up and saluted, and then left quickly to send someone to order all departments to carry out Li Yunlong's order!
