After Hatta Yuichiro and other senior officers of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Handan City were killed by Zhang Dabiao and others, the only remaining Japanese troops in Handan City at this time were leaderless, and then Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua and others led all the troops to concentrate superior forces to break through, and soon most of the Japanese troops in Handan City were annihilated.

Only a small number of Japanese troops broke through the North City Gate and fled in all directions, but the remnants of the Japanese army that broke through were only a few dozen people, and they no longer posed a threat to the cavalry units commanded by Li Yunlong.

At this time, Li Yunlong, who was in command of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Handan City, which had been destroyed, quickly received the messengers sent back by Zhang Dabiao and others to deliver the message, and hurried to the place where Yuichiro Hatta and other Japanese 33rd Division headquarters stubbornly resisted and defended to the place where they lived.

When I saw Zhang Dabiao and others, I saw that the soldiers of all departments were cleaning the battlefield and packing up the loot on the spot.

"Regiment commander, this is Lieutenant General Yuichiro Hatta, the division commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, this is Major General Tomoki Onodera, chief of staff of the 33rd Division of the Little Devil, and the rest are all the various devil staff officers of his division and regimental headquarters, and there are also some officers of the rank of Shaozo, and a total of about twenty-three officers of the Devil Division and regimental headquarters with military rank were killed. In addition, a Japanese squadron protecting Yuichiro Hatta and other officers of the Devil Division was annihilated, killing more than 200 people. ”

When Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong arrive, he immediately reported with a smile.

Li Yunlong bowed his head and pursued and killed Yuichiro Hatta and other officers of the devil division with lightning speed, and when Wang Chengzhu's more than 20 mortars smashed through with shells, if he could not solve this point of devils, Li Yunlong would not have dared to believe the combat command ability of Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua.

At this time, soon a staff officer of the army formally saluted Li Yunlong and others and reported: "Regiment commander, Sun Desheng, who was hunting around the city outside the north gate, sent someone to report that dozens of Japanese troops escaped from the north gate and rushed to the mountains and forests outside the city. At that time, Sun Desheng had already commanded his men and horses to assault the north gate, and he didn't notice it for a while, and fired dozens of devil soldiers! ”。

"It's okay, if this person escapes, just run away!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

I saw that the statistical staff officer accompanying the army continued to report: "In addition, according to the statistics of the results reported by various departments, in this surprise attack on Handan, we annihilated 2,879 Japanese troops in Handan City, and there were no Japanese prisoners. Captured a Japanese arsenal in Handan City, but the amount was not large! There are countless weapons and ammunition on the battlefield, regiment commander, what should we do? I'm afraid we can't take away so many weapons and ammunition! ”。

At this time, the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Regiment commander, it's a pity!" There are a lot of guns and ammunition, and a dozen infantry guns from the little devil's arsenal, but unfortunately we are all infantry, and it is impossible to take them with us. Otherwise, it will drag down the cavalry's ability to maneuver on the march. ”。

Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion on the side, also nodded when he heard this, Handan City is the most important transportation hub city on the Pinghan Railway Line, an important ancient city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The results of this battle were huge, and it was not a problem that the captured Japanese weapons and ammunition were enough to equip a brigade of men and horses. It's just that at this time, soon the news that Handan City was attacked and occupied by Li Yunlong and his people will soon reach the old devil Tada Jun in Beiping City, and Tada Jun is bound to be annoyed and angry.

At that time, it was very fast to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress oneself. At this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to take away too many weapons and ammunition. Lazy people listen to books

Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this, and said, "You guys are all right. So, in addition to being able to provide bullets and shells of our caliber, part of the loss of ammunition for light and heavy machine guns. The weapons and ammunition of the arsenal in Handan City and the weapons and ammunition captured on the battlefield were all blown up, and not a single rifle or bullet was left for the little devils. Execute the order! Five minutes later, the troops assembled, and we immediately withdrew from Handan. ’。

Speaking of this, Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion, said in a condensed voice: "Regiment commander, where should we attack next?" ”。

Li Yunlong waved his hand and motioned to Wei Dayong, the Wei monk next to him, to take out the military map from the briefcase he was carrying, and after spreading it out, he signaled everyone to gather over.

I saw Li Yunlong pointing to the unfolded map of the military Hebei Province and said: "Judging from the map, Handan is on the Pinghan railway line, and it is an ancient city, and the city is strong and tall. If there are 10,000 horses in the hands of labor and management, it will be no problem to fight with the heavy soldiers of the little devils in Handan City. But we are all cavalry now, and the biggest advantage of cavalry is the ability to maneuver and run, coming and going like the wind, dragging the Japanese infantry from all over the country back and forth. After finding the right time, use the mobile cavalry advantage to eat the infantry units of the little devils. ”。

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao and the others nodded in agreement with Li Yunlong's analysis, since after attacking Jinghai City, they thought that after capturing a group of Japanese North China Front Headquarters and replenishing a batch of war horses to the Japanese troops preparing for the Battle of Wuhan, the next battalions of the new regiment of infantry under the command of Li Yunlong and others immediately turned into a cavalry unit.

"Commander, that's it. We need to withdraw from Handan as soon as possible, so as not to be entangled by the little devil's reinforcements! Judging from the map, we were only able to attack in the north-south direction along the Pinghan railway line. If you go south, you can attack Matou Town and then turn west, and retreat to the Shigu Mountain Mountains to temporarily hide and recuperate. To the north, there is a pass that blocks us! If the Japanese garrison at Linhao Pass had been on alert, it would probably not be easy to conquer Linhao Pass. The Japanese troops in Shahe, Xingtai and other places north of Linhaoguan were easily warned, and I am afraid it was a little troublesome at that time. Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, pointed to the map and analyzed in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong easily concluded from Zhang Dabiao's words that Zhang Dabiao's suggestion was that the troops should advance south and enter the mountainous area of Shigu Mountain to rest for a while. At this time, it was daytime, and there seemed to be a Japanese airfield in Shijiazhuang, and if they knew that Handan was attacked by their own side, they would probably take off fighter planes and bomb them in the south.

And this will be very dangerous for their own side, which does not have much anti-aircraft weapons to deal with.

The rest of the people heard Zhang Dabiao's analysis and talked about it, but the big guys all agreed with Zhang Dabiao's suggestion. After all, attacking all the way, although the cavalry has an advantage, but it has been a long time, and the soldiers and horses of the army urgently need to rest, recover their physical strength, and recuperate.

Hearing the discussion, everyone agreed to go south, attack Matou Town, and then attack westward, and retreat to Shigu Mountain to rest.

After Li Yunlong motioned for everyone to stop the discussion, he said in a condensed voice: "Okay, since this is the case, the big guy is inclined to go south and turn in the direction of Shigu Mountain, then prepare to go south!" ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone stood up and saluted, and then they rushed out, each going out to gather the people.
