Chapter 457: Facing the Devil Cavalry

"Captain, Chief Matsushita Lang has died in battle!" A ghost soldier arrives and finds Jiro Namura in the headquarters, who is standing there in a daze.

Namura Jiro just said lightly: "Got it, let's get out!" ”。

"Hay, Captain."

The devil soldiers went out in response, and the gunfire outside was very fierce, and it was close at hand.

Namura Jiro knew that the possibility of holding on for another half an hour was almost zero, and now even the chief of staff of the brigade, Matsushita Lang, was killed in battle shortly after he went out.

It shows that the situation is no longer optimistic!

The final moment is coming, and for Namura Jiro, at this time, in the command room of the brigade headquarters, only one communications soldier and himself are left.

"Signal soldier, send the last telegram to the division commander to inform him that Taikang is about to fall. It will be impossible to hold on for another half an hour! Your Majesty's class, the empire's class! Go ahead! Namura Jiro waved his hand, called the only devil messenger in the command headquarters, and said quietly.

"Hairy, Captain!" The devil's communication soldier responded.

Shomura Jiro then said to the signal soldiers: "After sending the telegram, destroy the radio station immediately, and you must not let the precious radio station fall into the hands of the enemy." After the radio station is damaged, pick up the gun and go out to fight for the Empire! ”。

"Yes, Captain! Obedience! "The Devil Messenger finally left.

After completing the execution of the order of Namura Jiro, he picked up a Type 38 rifle and walked out of the old devil's headquarters and blocked the attacking Li Yunlong army.

"Boom, boom!!"

In the face of the stubborn resistance of the remnants of the Japanese army under the command of Shomura Jiro, Li Yunlong directly ordered Zhang Dabiao and other units to use a 70-millimeter caliber of close-range direct-aim artillery bombardment to blow up the courtyard wall and several houses that the devils were stubbornly resisting.

The force of the explosion directly shattered the building, and the smoke and dust were filled.

The screams of the devil soldiers were accompanied by the sound of an explosion, and Namura Jiro knew that the explosion had exploded outside the command headquarters. The few remaining devils and soldiers of the Imperial Association Army were bombed and cried their fathers and mothers, and the screams came like shadows.

"Your Majesty!"

Unable to accept the outcome of being beaten into a sieve by Li Yunlong's subordinates, Shomura Jiro directly took out a southern-style pistol and shot him in the temple.

At this time, the little devil's southern-style pistol did not jam. With a gunshot sound, blood flew from Shomura Jiro's temples, and the old devil's body fell to the ground.

Two minutes later, Li Yunlong and others attacked the old devil's headquarters, only to see burned documents all over the ground, a destroyed radio station, and the corpse of a dead devil officer.

"Division commander, according to the confession of the captured Imperial Cooperative Army, it is the captain of the Taikang City Devil Garrison Brigade, Shomura Jiro, and his chief of staff, Matsushita Lang, was also killed by us. It's just that the night is strong, and Taikang City has been occupied by devils for a long time, and the devils guarding the city are very familiar with the situation in the city, and some devil stragglers have fled and hidden in the city. It's going to be a bit difficult to completely exterminate them. Zhang Dabiao, who took the lead in overcoming the devil's headquarters, pointed to the corpse of the old devil Jiro Shomura, who committed suicide, and said in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong took a look, this is indeed a devil captain, and the rank mark on the collar is Shaozuo, it seems that it is the captain of the devil garrison, Shangmura Jiro Shaozuo.

"Hmmm! As for the escaped devil stragglers, there aren't many! Li Yunlong said.

Zhang Dabiao nodded and said: "Not much, according to the strength of the Japanese defenders in the city, there are less than thirty devil stragglers who have been dispersed and hidden." It's night, and I'm afraid it's going to take time to search the whole city. ”。

"Forget it, don't look for it! According to intelligence, the devil reinforcement cavalry unit commanded by Ishida Torotaro is already less than twenty minutes away from Taikang City! I'm afraid it's too late for us to evacuate at this time! ”

Li Yunlong said: "The soldiers fought fiercely for a while, and it was not good to evacuate in a hurry! ”。

"What does the division commander mean to fight against the Japanese cavalry of Ishidabe?" Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others all heard it and said in surprise.

Li Yunlong bowed his head, nodded and said, "Not bad!" At present, we have recovered Taikang and annihilated more than 1,000 devils and most of the imperial army! Moreover, there are two cavalry brigades under Ishida Torataro, and they also bypassed Kaifeng in the starry night and pursued us! ”

"Now we are here, let's have a fierce decisive battle with the main force of this devil cavalry! Otherwise, the battle behind will not be easy to fight, and the devils will cooperate with each other, and we will be under a lot of pressure. It is better to take advantage of the favorable conditions of capturing Taikang now, and attack the main force of the enemy's cavalry according to the city. ”

Ma Wenhai, the commander of the Third Brigade, nodded and said: "If you look at the map, we will now recover Taikang and have a city to rely on." It's just that the Japanese troops in Huaiyang and Fugou have a total of at least thousands of men, and if they have moved closer to Taikang at the same time at this time, things will be a little troublesome. ”。

Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to take out the map, put it on a table in the Devil's Headquarters, and pointed: "Fugou, Huaiyang is two hours away from Taikang. This is enough time for us to start a decisive battle with the devil cavalry! ”。

"Decisive battle, division commander?" Zhang Dabiao exclaimed.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, decisive battle!" ”。

"We have two hours left to fight with Torataro Ishida's cavalry unit in Taikang! We have Taikang Castle to rely on, and the Japanese cavalry unit under the command of Ishida Torotaro has two cavalry brigades, which are known as elite. But they went south on a starry night, and they didn't rest for an hour or two in Kaifeng, and they were single-mindedly commanded by Yuankou to go south."

At this time, Shen Qun said loudly: "At this time, Ishida Torataro's cavalry troops should be a little exhausted, even if they are killed under Taikang City, for us, these devils are actually the weakest threat at this time." ”。

"Bingo, that's right!"

Li Yunlong praised Shen Qun and said: "At this time, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy defending Taikang has been killed by us, it is the most suitable time to have the favorable conditions for the city to rely on for a decisive battle!" Otherwise, if we evacuate at this time, we can only retreat in the direction of Tuocheng. ”。

"Division commander, then how can we meet the enemy?" Zhang Dabiao said loudly.

Li Yunlong looked at the map, thought for a while, and then immediately ordered: "In this way, the third brigade is stationed in Taikang, and the rest of the first and second brigades, together with other troops, a total of 11,000 people are concentrated at the north gate, ready to meet the enemy!" In this way, Zhang Dabiao, your first brigade will face the enemy head-on, and the two wings of the second brigade will be spread out to protect the frontal Chinese army! Fighting at night, the open space outside the North Gate is enough for us to have a decisive battle with the devil's cavalry! What do you think? ”。

"Yes, Commander!"

"I agree, Commander!"

……

All the commanders and fighters agreed, and the cavalry duel was carried out in a dignified and decent manner. What's more, Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiment can carry artillery up to the north gate of the city and condescendingly carry out artillery fire.

If you don't command blindly, with Li Yunlong's response, the Japanese cavalry in the decisive battle of Ishitabu should have a 90% chance of winning!
