"Withdraw south to Guangling County? Head? Zhang Dabiao said in a condensed voice, and He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion on the side, also looked puzzled.

Li Yunlong said, "Yes, retreat south to Guangling County." Although we don't know why the old devil Itagaki Seishiro didn't withdraw at this time, and we took advantage of the conspiracy to attack when we counterattacked and retreated to our positions, but the Japanese army on the opposite side had a follow-up move. And they need time, and we can't go with Seishiro Itagaki at the same pace. Therefore, I decided to take the initiative and retreat south to Guangling, so that the back hand of the old devil Seishiro Itagaki could not play! ”。

"Commander, I agree! It's just that now that the Hengshan base area is under heavy siege by the Japanese army, is it inappropriate for us to withdraw to Guangling at this time? He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, objected and said.

At this time, the Hengshan base area was heavily attacked by the Japanese army, and withdrawing at this time could not actually relieve the crisis of the Hengshan base area from the periphery.

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lao He, do you mean not to withdraw to Guangling County?" ”。

"Not bad!"

He Yongjie said: "Regiment commander, according to our plan, they will stay in the Hengshan base with the political commissar to defend it. And this part of our troops is maneuvering on the periphery to force Yoshio Shinozuka to draw the attention of our focus on besieging us. Now, once we withdraw to Guangling, it is not in line with our combat strategy. ”。

Without waiting for Li Yunlong to answer, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion on the side, smiled and said, "Then Lao He, do you mean not to withdraw to Guangling County?" ”。

"Yes, don't retreat to Guangling County. The troops are still fighting on the periphery, dragging Yoshio Shinozuka's attention. We have already killed the three princes of the Japanese army, and the regiment commander personally led the troops to maneuver around Shanxi, attacking cities and conquering places, mainly to annihilate the living forces of the Japanese army. The threat is greater than the threat of the political commissar to the Japanese army in the base area, so I suggest that the troops continue to fight on the periphery and do not have to withdraw to the base area!" He Yongjie pointed to the map.

Li Yunlong nodded and agreed with He Yongjie's statement: "Lao He's analysis is good, but Lao Tzu is not thoughtful!" ”。

Looking at the map carefully, Li Yunlong suddenly clapped his hands and smiled, "Made, then don't withdraw to the base area." We are still maneuvering on the outer battlefields to hold Yoshio Shinozuka in check! This time, we're going to retreat from here to there! ”。

"Wei County?" Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie stepped forward and exclaimed, Wei County was still in the hands of their friendly troops at this time.

"Yes, after we ambushed the Japanese prince Xianyuan Gong Zairen before, we didn't go north from Niangzi Pass and attack the city all the way. At this time, Wei County is in the hands of the guerrilla Gao Xi Department near Wei County! We headed south from Wei County, continued to retreat south through Feihu Pass, and made a detour to Laiyuan. Secretly south from the same road we took before! ”

"Commander, do you mean to retreat to the vicinity of Niangzi Pass?" Zhang Dabiao was surprised, the distance of retreating south was much farther than retreating to Guangling County.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Continue to retreat south!" ”。

"Continue south, Commander?" He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, followed Li Yunlong's finger and looked at the map.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, this time we retreated all the way south to Niangzi Pass, and then went south along the east side of the Great Wall in the Taihang Mountain section." The troops bypassed the heavy troops of the Japanese army, and the troops went south to fight in Wu'an, Liuhegou, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo and other places! We're going to make Yoshio Shinozuka anxious from the south of Shanxi! ”。

"Awesome, Captain! This hand can definitely divert Yoshio Shinozuka's attention from the Hengshan base to our trajectory! Zhang Dabiao gave a thumbs up, feeling very impressed by Li Yunlong's plan. It's a thousand-mile raid, and the range of maneuver is absolutely super-large.

"Okay, then without further ado!"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Order the troops to prepare to evacuate in five minutes, and the artillery will finish half of the ammunition supply to cover the retreat of the infantry." By the way, Da Biao, our wounded soldiers have all withdrawn from the south of the Hengshan Mountain Range, right? ”。

"The wounded soldiers, whether they were lightly or seriously wounded, have all been evacuated to the Hengshan base area. Retreat all the way south along the mountain range, without being threatened by the Japanese pursuers. The troops sent to cover the withdrawal of wounded soldiers to the base area are veterans, and they will definitely not make a mistake! Head! ”

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "Okay, the wounded soldiers are evacuated." It was time for us to withdraw, and five minutes later, the artillery fire covered the withdrawal of the large force. Get ready! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie stood up and saluted, and then each went to command their respective troops to secretly assemble and prepare to retreat south.

At this time, just when Li Yunlong and others felt that something was wrong with the Japanese army of Itagaki Seishiro, although they didn't know why, they had already decided to retreat south. At this time, Seishiro Itagaki was still in his headquarters, and he was a little uneasy waiting for the fighter planes of the Japanese air force to drop poison gas bombs to replenish him.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there will be at least half an hour before the fighters of the Air Force will arrive over us. This small-scale counterattack of the Chinese army seems to feel that our actions are wrong and want to play our intentions! A few minutes after the end of the new regiment's active skirmish counterattack, Major General Ueno Masa, chief of staff of the Itagaki Division, rushed to Itagaki Seishiro and analyzed it with a pause.

Seishiro Itagaki asked, "Ueno-kun, how is the rear passage?" Is the pontoon erected? ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, no. Several mortars of the Chinese army on the north shore are very combat-effective. Its artillery attack technology is very elite, and Saka Kamipei's infantry guns cannot quickly lock on to the opponent. The other side is carrying a mortar, and after a few shots, you can evacuate the original position at any time! Ueno shook his head and said helplessly.

Although he had already commanded a Japanese infantry brigade to fire at a new small group on the north bank of the Sangqian River, after all, it was separated from both sides of the river, and it was impossible to destroy the new small group of infantry on the north bank at close range, so he could only let the artillery brigade of Saka Imipei carry out artillery bombardment to cover the engineer troops and set up a pontoon bridge.

It's just that the other side's mortars are very evil, and the artillery bombing technology is very good, and when the Japanese engineering units erect the pontoon bridge to the middle of the river, the mortars of the new regiment somewhere on the north bank of the Sangqian River will immediately shell it, and a few guns will blow up the half-finished pontoon bridge, which is simply very annoying.

Itagaki Seishiro was also helpless, waved his hand and said, "Yaga Ya Road, hateful Shina artillery!" Forget it, there is no need to erect a pontoon bridge first, wait for the fighters of the air force to drop poison gas bombs and solve the main force of Li Yunlong's troops on the opposite side, and there will be nothing to do if the rear cannot be reached! ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency the Division Commander, you understand your humble duties!" Ueno said helplessly.

And suddenly, the artillery bombardment outside the old devil's headquarters was continuous, and the violent explosion directly attracted the attention of the two old devils.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the new regiment is under massive artillery bombardment, and its units have retreated from their positions!" Soon a Japanese soldier came to report urgently.

Itagaki Seishiro immediately rushed towards the map, clapped his palms on the map, and said in a condensed voice, "It's not good, the new group is going to retreat!" ”。
