"How many enemy troops are there in the city? What is the state of garrison? Li Yunlong asked in a condensed voice.

Duan Peng pointed to the rough map of Taikang City on the ground and said, "According to the devils guarding Taikang, there is an infantry brigade, about 1,200 people. There are not many Imperial Allies, about 2,000 people, a reinforced regiment or so! Most of the defenders' forces are concentrated in the direction of the south gate, probably because they are afraid that we will go north after capturing Huaiyang! ”。

"Hmmm! What is the strength of the enemy army at the South Gate? Li Yunlong said concisely.

Duan Peng said: "According to the information obtained from the torture of the two devils captured by the two devils and the three emperors, the enemy army at the south gate has three squadrons of about 700 people to defend. The remaining two squadrons are roughly deployed at the west gate and the east gate, and the north gate is guarded by only one devil team. One thousand people of the Imperial Association Army guarded the north gate, and the other three gates were probably three or four hundred people to assist the devils in defending. ”。

"The little devil is really well defended!" Li Yunlong sneered when he heard this!

After waving his hand and signaling Duan Peng and other members of the special forces to go down and rest, Li Yunlong beckoned Zhang Dabiao and others to get together to discuss the siege plan.

After giving everyone a detailed explanation of the situation of Taikang's defense of the enemy detected by Duan Peng and others, Li Yunlong said: "Brothers, how to fight?" ”。

I saw Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the First Brigade, smile and sneered: "Division commander, Taikang's enemy strength is only more than 3,000 people, although there is a devil garrison brigade. But we have an absolute superiority in forces, and we can storm it! ”。

"Not bad!"

Shen Qun also said out loud: "We are now strong and strong, with more than 15,000 cavalry, and the casualties of the troops are not large. The fighters are full of physical strength, and it is not a problem to fight a small Taikang City. ”。

Seeing that everyone despised the enemy defenders of Taikang, Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Although this is the case, the big guys must pay attention, it is not okay to underestimate the enemy." ”。

"Commander, we all know that! Hey, hey, hey! Zhang Dabiao said with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Li Yunlong said: "According to the situation of the enemy defenders that Duan Peng and his people have reconnoitred, I have decided that the troops will focus on attacking the south gate!" ”。

"Division commander, why don't you fight the other three. There are not many troops in the defenders of the three gates! Ma Wenhai said out loud at this time.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he shook his head and said: "In this way, once the devils of Taikang know that we are attacking Taikang, the defenders of the South Gate with more troops may break through at night and not fight with us in the city." Then flee to the woods on both sides of the South Gate Highway, and when the time comes, will we encircle and suppress them? If you pursue, you will waste time. At this time, the two cavalry brigades of the devils had already passed through Qixian and went south, and it was estimated that it would only take two more hours to kill the Taikang area. When the time comes, if we want to concentrate all our cavalry warriors, it will be much slower. It's better to concentrate your forces to get rid of the devils with the most in the south gate first. Eat the big head, and if the devils of the other three doors want to break through, it will be impossible at that time. ”。

"Understood, Commander." Ma Wenhai said in a condensed voice.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong immediately arranged the task and said: "As usual, Zhang Dabiao's troops are concentrated to attack the south gate, and I will assign all Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiments to you. After three minutes of artillery bombardment, the artillery fire will be extended to cover your charge! The rest of the troops surrounded Sanmen, which was also a strong attack! We now have the upper hand in our forces, and a full-scale attack is actually more than enough. It's just that most of the artillery forces are concentrated at the south gate, you understand? ”。

"Understood, division commander, promise to complete the mission!" Everyone said in response.

Then, with Li Yunlong's order, after resting for five minutes, the troops began to quietly surround the city of Taikang.

After Duan Peng's special forces first eliminated the devils patrolling outside the city and the patrol detachments composed of the Imperial Cooperative Army, the main force of the army immediately took advantage of the night cover to surround Taikang City.

At this time, Taikang City was dead silent, although it had been learned that Li Yunlong's troops were attacking Luyi, but it was possible to attack Taikang in the north.

However, Taikang is far away from Luyi, and if you want to attack Taikang, the devil will naturally know about Li Yunlong's cavalry movements.

It's just that I didn't expect that the common people of Henan Province, who were deeply affected by the devil's burning, looting, and looting, all guided Li Yunlong and others to take the small road to Taikang City, a lot of time in advance.

Now at this time, the captain of the devil garrison in Taikang City, Shomura Jiro Shaoza, was sleeping in the rest house in the backyard of the headquarters in his city, and he didn't know that a powerful cavalry team had surrounded his troops and surrounded Taikang City.

At this time, in the grass more than 100 meters outside the south gate of Taikang, one of the soldiers of Zhang Dabiao's department, which was about 2,000 people, had already dismounted and approached the city. And the devils at the head of the city, although they patrol the city with torches, it is dark outside the city.

Although there was already a searchlight at this time, the devil was also a frequent landfall of resources, and the searchlight was also very scarce.

Therefore, the devils in Taikang City do not have searchlights to searchlight and guard outside the city. The devils with torches and the Imperial Association army patrolling the city, even if Zhang Dabiao's soldiers approached more than ten meters below the city, they would not be discovered.

Unless, the approaching warriors shouted, it would be difficult to detect what was going on outside the city.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

Soon, three signal flares suddenly exploded over the south gate of Taikang, and the devils in the direction of the other three city gates of Taikang all saw it.

After all, the flare hit the sky very high, enough for the whole city of Taikang to be able to see it. What's more, it's the devil soldiers and the soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who patrol the city.

"Eight Tooth Road! Flares! Enemy attack, enemy attack! ”

The devil in charge of guarding the south gate of Taikang is the adjutant Nakamura Ichi under the command of the garrison captain Namura Jiro, who can be regarded as Nakamura Jiro's henchman.

This devil adjutant is also familiar with signal flares, and at first glance, it is not a signal flare that his own people have carelessly shot.

Moreover, the signal flare hit at least thirty meters in the air above the south gate of Taikang, which is enough for the whole city of Taikang to be able to see, and it is definitely a signal for the enemy to attack the city.

Sure enough, before Nakamura shouted angrily at the soldiers around him, one after another shells suddenly whistled from three hundred meters outside the city.

"Baga, shelling, hide quickly."

But it was too late, and the shelling at such a short distance covered the head of the south gate of Taikang with a direct round of artillery fire.

"Boom, boom!!"

The violent explosion exploded at the south gate of Taikang in an instant, and the other three gates of Taikang also exploded one after another. However, there was not much artillery bombardment, most of which were covered by close infantry artillery fire such as mortars and grenadiers.

But when bombing the south gate, attacking the enemy was clearly the focus of the attack.

As soon as Nakamura finished speaking, one shell after another exploded around this guy, instantly blowing Nakamura to pieces and disappearing into the night.

The devils of the south gate and the Imperial Alliance Army were blown up and scattered without the command of Ichiro Nakamura.

Waiting for the leader of the devil squadron to do his best to counterattack, after the shelling expanded, the devils in South Gate City had already killed seventy or eighty people.
