Stop the troops, heralds, let all the commanders and fighters come to me! Fast! ”

After receiving the telegram from the signal corps, Li Yunlong, who had taken a look at it, immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and temporarily hide and rest on the side of the road.

"Yes, Captain!" Several heralds and soldiers who followed Li Yunlong answered one after another, and then dispersed to give orders.

In less than a minute, the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao, the second battalion commander Shen Qun and others had already rushed to Li Yunlong's location, gathered around Li Yunlong and squatted down.

Li Yunlong had already spread out the map, and then handed over an urgent telegram from the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the area of the Dongyang River to Zhang Dabiao and others for viewing.

"Brothers, Matsui Ishone has divided his troops! The old devil divided the troops from the 3rd Division and the headquarters of the 5th Brigade and the regiment to the north along the Dongyang River, and the goal was very clear, that is, to quickly rush to Xinghe along the Dongyang River and block our path north along Xinghe to Yinshan! At present, the devils of the 5th Brigade are moving very fast, and there is also a devil cavalry unit that has rushed towards Xinghe ahead of the main force of the 5th Brigade! Not much different from the time we arrived at Xinghe Castle! ”

At this time, Zhang Dabiao and several other commanders and fighters had already delivered the telegram, and everyone's expressions became solemn.

If the main force of the 5th Brigade Regiment of the Devil Regiment came out and went north to kill from behind when Li Yunlong and others led their troops to attack Xinghe, the new regiment of more than 7,000 soldiers led by Li Yunlong and others would be in a situation where they would be attacked by the enemy on their backs, and the situation would inevitably deteriorate at that time.

Zhang Dabiao also served as the chief of staff, and his mind was sharp, so he took the lead in speaking out: "Regiment commander, the original plan was to attack Xinghe and go north to Yinshan, I'm afraid it needs to be scrapped!" Judging from the contents of the urgent telegram sent by the guerrillas, the 5th Brigade of this devil unit has more than 9,000 troops and is strong, and the devils who have divided their troops along the way have more troops than us. And once we attack Xinghe for a long time, this way of devils will quickly attack from behind, and the enemy will be attacked on the back, and we will still attack Xinghe according to the plan at this time, it is meaningless! ”。

"Da Biao, what you said is right, what do the rest of the big guys think? If we don't make peace, how should our ministry act? Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice.

There are not many devils in Xinghe County, but there are also a few, and Xinghe City is strong, even if it is a quick kill under Xinghe City in a short time, the Japanese army in the city will withstand it.

It is believed that at this time, the devils of Xinghe have received a telegram from Matsui Ishine, and are preparing to take over the headquarters of the 5th Brigade of the devils who are heading north from the Dongyang River.

Therefore, at this time, it is no longer meaningful to continue to attack Xinghe in the north. In addition, once the main force of his own side appears in Xinghe, it will inevitably cause Matsui Ishine to pursue him, after all, the main force of the main force is still chasing the main force of Matsui Ishine's 3rd Division.

It was Li Yunlong's plan to carry the main force of Matsui Ishine around the vast land of Suiyuan and drag the main force of the Japanese 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine to death.

At this time, there is little point in attacking Xinghe, on the contrary, continuing to implement the plan of attacking Xinghe will put himself in a situation where he will be attacked by the enemy, and Li Yunlong will of course abandon this plan.

Li Yunlong said me, and Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly: "Regiment commander, if you can't attack Xinghe." We might as well pass through the road between Takamori and Kohwa, bypass the area around the Hudo Sea, bypass the area around the flat springs, and advance towards the Taolin attack! It's also one of the best attack paths! ”。

"That's okay!" Li Yunlong looked at the map and nodded in agreement with Ma Wenhai's suggestion.

The land of Suiyuan is vast and sparsely populated, the terrain is flat, and there are various terrains and landforms of deserts and grasslands. The most important thing is that there are still many routes in Suiyuan that are suitable for the mobile attack of the army, and it is not necessary to really take Xinghe County.

Originally, everyone designated to attack Xinghe, because they needed the grain and grass materials stored by the devils in Xinghe City for intermittent supply.

At this time, the marching dry rations carried by the main force of the army can still support the army for at least three or four days, and there will be no crisis of food shortage and interruption in a short period of time.

Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion, also very much agreed with Ma Wenhai's suggestion, and the new regiment itself could also fight a hard battle, but Matsui Shigen had already divided his troops to pursue, and the enemy troops on the 5th Brigade of the Devil Regiment who went north from the Dongyang River to kill Xinghe had a brigade of more than 9,000 people.

Once Li Yunlong and others led the main force to attack Xinghe, the 5th Brigade of the Devils came from behind, and the enemy was under the back, and the casualties of the troops were bound to be very large.

After all, Li Yunlong is not able to resist the attack of the enemy forces in front and behind now!

Seeing this, Li Yunlong made a final decision: "Okay, then kill from between Longsheng and Xinghe, and make a detour to the Hudo Sea to attack and advance to the Taolin area!" Order all troops, act immediately, the main force of the 3rd Division led by Matsui Ishine is still chasing us, and it will be more than forty minutes away from us! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" All the commanders and fighters got up one after another, and then scattered back to their respective units to direct the troops to continue their advance.

Knowing that Matsui Shigen divided his troops all the way along the Dongyang River to the north to attack Xinghe, Li Yunlong immediately made a plan not to go north from Xinghe to Yinshan. Instead, he led the main force of the regiment to pass between Longsheng and Xinghe, bypassed the northeastern area of the Hudo Sea, and then attacked and advanced to the Taolin area in the northwest direction.

At this time, Matsui Ishone, who was chasing behind, continued to lead the main force of his 3rd Division along the Xiyang River north, and at least an hour later, after Matsui Ishone led the main force to arrive at the headquarters of Xinghe Castle and the 5th Brigade, he actually lost the pursuit of the main force of Li Yunlong's division.

"Bagaya Road, Li Yunlong's main force is not in the Xinghe area!"

Matsui Shigen was a little annoyed, this chased and chased, and the opponent's main force was getting more and more blurred from him.

Kagezo Zhenzhao was also a little helpless, although the weather was very good, and the devil's reconnaissance plane was constantly dispatched.

However, Suiyuan is very large, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is still very difficult for the air to detect an enemy ground force that is secretly marching and fighting in all directions.

At present, most of the fighters and reconnaissance planes of the devils in Jin Province and Ji Province have gone south to reinforce the First Army under the command of Naosaburo Okabe and its various Japanese troops in the battle against Zhongtiao Mountain. So at this time, there are not many forces that can be attributed to Matsui Ishine for aerial reconnaissance.

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Army troops of Fengzhen, Pingdiquan and Guisui City have successively sent reports to our department, and no signs of a new regiment of troops attacking the town have been found! It seems that Li Yunlong's department disappeared in Suiyuan! I estimate that the situation of the 5th Brigade going north from the Dongyang River to kill Xiang Xinghe has been known to Li Yunlong. Therefore, Li Yunlong should have this expectation if he did not make peace! Matsui Ishone's chief of staff with the army, Kage Satsuaki, said stubbornly!

Matsui Shigen didn't mean to blame Kage Zo Zhenzhao, but it was a little blocked, after all, he was led away by Li Yunlong all the time, and it was also very uncomfortable and shameful!

"Report to Your Excellency the General, Chief of Staff of Yingzuo, the imperial army of Gui Suicheng has called, Tao Lin, Kezhen has been lost. It was discovered that Li Yunlong's main force was attacking and advancing towards the Daqingshan area! Suddenly, a devil staff officer hurriedly came and reported to Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Akira after a heavy pause!
