Gui Suicheng, in the regimental headquarters of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, received a call from the devil garrisons of the 2nd Independent Brigade stationed in Zhangbei, Zhangjiakou, Wanquan and other places in Chahar.

For Matsui Ishine to transfer troops without consulting with him Miyasutaro, Miyasutaro was very dissatisfied.

However, the chief of staff of the 26th Division, Toie Jiichiro, who was on the side, said with a wry smile: "Division commander, now all the units of our 26th Division and all the units of the 2nd Independent Brigade have temporarily received the command of General Matsui, and we are dissatisfied and have no choice." Now what? The units of the 2nd Independent Brigade asked us whether they were carrying out the orders of Admiral Matsui. ”。

"A guy who fled back to his homeland in embarrassment is really arrogant!"

Miyasuotaro was gradually a little dissatisfied with Matsui Ishine, but the annihilation of the 102nd Infantry Wing of the 51st Brigade under the division also made Miyasuo Taro know that the combat effectiveness of the new regiment under Li Yunlong was very strong.

The North China Front Army Command agreed that Matsui Ishine personally led the 3rd Division to pursue and kill Li Yunlong's headquarters, and it is conceivable that the main task at present is to annihilate Li Yunlong's main force.

At this time, it is no longer appropriate to have too much contradiction with Matsui Shigen.

"Order all units of the 2nd Independent Brigade to be stationed in the same place after sufficient men and horses are left behind, and the rest of the men and horses can be transferred north according to Matsui Shigen's order and stationed in Kangbao, Shangdu, Ulan, Suzhi and other cities to defend the city! If there is any situation, report it directly to the division headquarters at any time. ”

Miyasuo Taro, who didn't want to have too much conflict with Matsui Ishine for the time being, looked at the huge military map on the table and ordered coldly.

Hearing this, Jiichiro Dujiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Haiyi, the commander of the division, deploy immediately!" Then he crossed the river and left with a brisk walk.

And just when Miyasuotaro was a little dissatisfied with Matsui Ishone's unauthorized transfer of troops and did not inform him, at this time, Li Yunlong and others, who had already killed three reconnaissance planes of the aviation unit belonging to the 26th Division, had already commanded more than 7,000 men and horses of various units to rush along the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain to attack Shangdu.

The soldiers of the new regiment are worthy of being veteran units of mountain warfare all year round, and although they encountered small groups of enemy troops in the towns along the way, they were defeated and annihilated by the new regiment without hesitation.

More than an hour later, Li Yunlong led Zhang Dabiao and other troops to hide in the woods five or six hundred meters outside the west gate of the Shang capital.

After instructing the reconnaissance troops to dispatch to carry out reconnaissance and sending people to contact the local guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Shangdu, Li Yunlong gathered Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, and other commanders and fighters together to hold a temporary combat meeting.

In the woods, everyone gathered around a military map, and they were discussing one by one!

"Brothers, now we are under the Shang Capital! The county seat of Shangdu was originally the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, there was the Shangdu River, and the Qing Dynasty was the Shangdu pasture, and it was later falsely called the "Shangdu". "Shangdu" is a Manchu language, which means whirlpool, water swimming. The Budong River in the territory is clear and turbulent, and it flows into Chahannaoer Lake to the east at the bend here, because the river has a whirlpool at the bend, so it is named. According to the "County Chronicles" record: this county area belonged to the desert south of the Xiongnu during the two Han Dynasty, and the three dynasties of Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, or Xianbei, or attached to the Khitan, to the Yuan Dynasty for the nomadic land. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight Banners were established, the Shangdu was under the jurisdiction of the Zhenghuang Banner. During the Qianlong period, a commercial capital ranch was set up, and the land was reclaimed at the end of the Qing Dynasty. There are five, six, seven, and eight post stations from Zhangjiakou to Kulun in Shangdu County. Because the county seat is located in Qitai, it is still known as "Qitai" in Shangdu County. ”

Li Yunlong motioned for everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Now that our troops have come to the city, how can we fight?" Does the big guy have any opinions? This Shangdu is located at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain and is an important strategic location. If we continue to attack eastward, we must cross the county seat of Shangdu. ”。

At this time, everyone had stopped discussing, and after hearing Li Yunlong's analysis, Zhang Dabiao said first: "Regiment leader, although Shangdu County is also an important place, it is actually under the control of the Japanese army, and it is not too strong. In fact, Chahar, Guisui and most other places are already in the rear of the control of the little devils. When the reconnaissance team returns, it is believed that the enemy troops in Shangdu County will not be too many. We are now extremely strong, attack! ”。

"Storming? Da Biao, you're a little complacent! ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said, Zhang Dabiao, this kid seems to be a little confident.

Zhang Dabiao touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Isn't the head of the regiment awesome!" Our current strength is now more than 7,000 people, and the troops are under the Shang capital, and a strong attack is the fastest choice. It can also be seen from the telescope that the city wall of Shangdu County is not high, only seven or eight meters, and the width is not two or three meters. The defensive strength of the city gate does not seem to be strong, and we have concentrated all the artillery of the army, and we should quickly take the county seat of Shangdu under the strong attack. ’。

"What about other people's suggestions?"

The third battalion commander Ma Wenhai also bowed his head and said: "Regiment commander, I agree with Lao Zhang's suggestion!" Storm! Behind us was a Devil's 3rd Division, with nearly 30,000 men and horses chasing, which was only an hour's distance from us. Now is not the right time to stay under the commercial capital for long! I also agree to storm and fight quickly! ”。

Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion on the side, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Duan Peng, the captain of the special operations commando, also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that all the commanders and fighters agreed, Li Yunlong condensed his voice: 'Okay, fight quickly and attack Shangdu!' Now it's time for the reconnaissance troops to come back and report the situation of the enemy forces in the Shang Capital! If the enemy army in the county town is only two or three thousand weak troops, we will solve the battle in half an hour! ’。

"Yes, Captain!"

Everyone responded in a low voice full of fighting spirit, judging from the current combined strength of the various departments, the enemy army in a small Shangdu county town could only survive a few thousand people, and it was impossible to block the strong attack of the army commanded by Li Yunlong.

Sure enough, six minutes later, the reconnaissance force that had gone out to reconnoiter the enemy's strength in Shangdu had withdrawn into the dense forest.

"Report to the regiment commander, according to the information obtained from our reconnaissance and contact with the local guerrillas of our army, the enemy forces in the city are defended by 700 Japanese troops and 1,000 imperial troops under the command of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 18th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Independent Brigade under the jurisdiction of the Mongolian Xinjiang Garrison Army. The county seat of Shangdu has been closed to martial law, and forty minutes before our troops come to the city, we have been ordered to strictly defend and guard against our eastward attack! ”

The reconnaissance captain reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong asked the reconnaissance captain to drink saliva to moisten his throat before waving his hand and signaling: "Go on, what is the combat effectiveness of the enemy army in the city?" The total strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city is about 1,708 troops, and if you hold on to it and wait for reinforcements, it is easy to get reinforcements from the enemy army in Kangbao County in the southeast.

In order for Li Yunlong to fight a quick battle, he must clearly understand the actual combat strength of the two enemy forces in the city.

"Report to the regiment commander, the combat effectiveness of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 18th Infantry Brigade of the 1st Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army is average, and the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is not worth mentioning! The local guerrillas said that the Imperial Association army was composed of defeated soldiers, and its combat effectiveness could not even be defeated by our county brigade! ”
