Chapter 423: Storming Lonely Mountain
About 15 minutes, Seishiro Itagaki led the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army to march on muddy mountain roads and snow, and rushed to the outside of the city two kilometers east of Datong City, where he happened to meet the headquarters of the 39th Wing of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, which was out of the city to search.
Knowing that the Datong defenders dispatched a wing and did not find Li Yunlong's troops, Itagaki Seishiro and Miyano Taro looked at each other, and Li Yunlong's troops were actually gone!
In the temporary field headquarters, Seishiro Itagaki had a very gloomy face. After the east and west advanced, it was a shame that Li Yunlong's troops could not be found.
"Division commander, judging from the map, Li Yunlong said that he was going to attack Datong, which should be a disguise! We're all cowardly. This person is really powerful, it is estimated that he knows the news that the Datong defenders are out of the city! Miyano Taro said in a low voice, and by the way, he cautiously looked at Seishiro Itagaki who was on the verge of anger at this time.
Itagaki Seishiro was indeed on the verge of rage at this time, 8,000 men and horses from the Xuanhua area thousands of miles to pursue Li Yunlong's department, with the elite of the Japanese army under the 21st Brigade under his jurisdiction, he couldn't catch up with the lowly squadron, and it was also the unit of the Eighth Route Army, which was already a deep irritation to the old devil.
"Yaga Yalu, I, Seishiro Itagaki underestimate the heroes of the world. It seems that the new regiment is worthy of being a unit of the Eighth Route Army, very good at mobile guerrilla warfare, and a sworn enemy of the empire! Miyano-kun, what do you think we should do now? Seishiro Itagaki cursed, but slowly calmed down and asked Taro Miyano with a frown.
Miyano Taro saw that Seishiro Itagaki had basically calmed down, so he pointed to the map and said: "Right now, the Eighth Route Army troops commanded by Li Yunlong have disappeared, and according to the current situation, this branch army should be out of the Datong range and flee to all around it!" โใ
Itagaki Seishiro's head, Miyano Taro's analysis is not wrong โฎ Among the heavy Japanese troops advancing from east to west, it is impossible for Li Yunlong to lead his troops to attack Datong, after all, this is just a way to find a dead end, and he can only lead his troops to withdraw from the Datong range and move away to the surrounding parties.
"Then Miyano-kun, where do you think Li Yunlong's next attack direction will be?"
Miyano Taro looked at the map silently, at this time the surrounding areas of Datong are occupied by the Japanese army, Datong to the south is Kouquan, Huairen, but there are heavy Japanese troops stationed in these two places in the south. It is unlikely that Li Yunlong will lead his troops south to find death, while to the west of Datong are Zuoyun and Yunyang Fort, which are also guarded by more Japanese troops, and it is unlikely to attack. To the north of Datong is Gushan City, although it is close to Datong, but for this reason, the defenders of Gushan do not seem to be much, maybe Li Yunlong will lead his troops north.
However, looking at the current situation, the distance between the lonely mountain is too close, and it seems unlikely. Perhaps, if Li Yunlong wants not to be entangled in the heavy pursuit of the empire, he can only escape into the mountains.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, judging from the consistent combat style of the new regiment and this branch of the enemy, Li Yunlong may lead his troops to the west and retreat into the Hongtao Mountain to hide and wait for the attack! Among the mountains and mountains, Hongtao Mountain is very suitable for the troops to hide. Taro Miyano pointed to the map.
Seishiro Itagaki looked down at the map, gestured around Daito, and was silent for a moment.
"Although Li Yunlong is likely to lead his troops westward, our troops set off from the Xuanhua area all the way to march rapidly, chasing Li Yunlong's troops and running very tiredโฎ in a big pursuit, the soldiers of the imperial army are already exhausted! In this way, Miyano-kun, just rest outside Datong City, contact the aviation units of Datong, take off fighter planes to reconnoitre, we can't blindly pursue it. Seishiro Itagaki ordered with a wave of his hand.
Miyano Taro immediately nodded and said: "Hayi, the commander of the division, obey the order!" He immediately instructed the Japanese staff officers on the side to contact the Japanese air force at Datong Airport and dispatch reconnaissance planes to reconnoitre.
***********************
At this time, when Seishiro Itagaki was angry that he and the defenders of Datong went out of the city to search for the headquarters of the 3rd Wing of the 8th Brigade of the Japanese Army, they did not find Li Yunlong's headquarters.
Li Yunlong led his troops to the north, and they had already gone north to hide in the mountains and forests outside the city, less than 300 meters south of Gushan City, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
The sound of footsteps stepping on the snow fell from far and near, and soon several soldiers of the special combat team who were walking quickly and wearing white windbreakers had already returned from reconnaissance under the leadership of Duan Peng.
The members of the reconnaissance special combat team ran all the way back to the mountains and forests south of the city, found the location of the large army, and quickly reported to Li Yunlong the situation obtained from the investigation of Gushan City.
"Report to the regiment commander, according to reconnaissance: the enemy army in Gushan has only one squadron of Japanese troops, and a small number of puppet army troops, and it is estimated that the strength is too many to be less than 300 people. However, Gushan City has two Type 92 infantry guns, at least six heavy machine guns, more than ten light machine guns, and a small number of grenadiers and mortars. Duan Peng carefully reported to Li Yunlong the situation of the enemy forces in Gushan City.
At this time, Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to find the map of Lonely Mountain City from the document bag, spread it out and look at it.
Gushan is just a small city, although it is very close to Datong to the south. But the Japanese troops stationed in the small town actually have only one squadron, isn't this a chance for a new regiment to attack! It is estimated that the little devil thinks that the vicinity of Datong is his own territory, especially the lonely mountain is too close to Datong, and the rapid march will arrive in less than ten minutes, so it is simply not to garrison too many troops, so as not to waste it.
"Haha, the little devil is really arrogant! In the important place north of Datong, there is not an infantry brigade stationed, which is not enough for labor and capital! Order all departments, concentrate forces, attack into the city from the south gate, and annihilate the enemy โ in one fell swoop, He Yongjie's four battalions will attack the main attack, and Da Biao's one battalion will move outside the city to besiege and kill the fleeing Japanese army. Remember, not one is left! Prepare for the siege in three minutes! Li Yunlong looked at the hands on his watch, and then gave the battle order.
"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and the others did not hesitate, and got up one after another to stand upright.
Soon, Li Yunlong commanded the troops to quickly begin to gather outside the southern city, and then, a signal flare hit the sky and exploded into brilliant white fireworks!
"Bang!"
Li Yunlong waited until the signal flare hit the sky, sneered, and ordered the siege troops with a wave of his hand: "Brothers, give me the siege!" Wang Chengzhu, fire on labor and capital! โใ
"Knock Knock Knock !!!"
There was a loud bang of artillery, and then a blazing mortar shell rained down on the south gate of Gushan and its head, exploding bursts of artillery smoke.
The unsuspecting Japanese defenders were bombed in a panic, and the devil defenders who were bombed with shells cried and cried for their fathers and mothers, no one thought that there would be enemy troops attacking the city!
