Yuichiro Hatta said so, and Tomoki Onodera stopped persuading when he heard this. It's just that Onodera Tomoki is very worried about whether the Daimyo county can withstand the onslaught of Li Yunlong's troops for about twenty minutes.

It's just that Yuichiro Hatta is confident that the defenders of the Daimyo County can withstand the onslaught of the other party, so there is no way, just look at it!

What's more, Yuichiro Hatta doesn't seem to be wrong when he says this, at least the Daimyo county town is strong and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The garrison strength composed of more than 1,700 imperial troops and the imperial alliance army is estimated to have no problem holding up the opponent's onslaught for about 20 minutes.

At this time, Onodera Tomoki could only pray in his heart that Junichiro Yamaoka could hold the county seat of Daimyo, otherwise Li Yunlong's troops would kill the men and horses under the command of the 33rd Division in the first battle in the control area of the 33rd Division in southern Hebei Province, and the 33rd Division would also lose face.

"Haiyi, it's just Your Excellency the division commander, although the city of the Daimyo County is strong, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But Li Yunlong's department should not be underestimated, should he send troops to reinforce the direction of the Daimyo county? The troops transferred from Quang Binh and Cheng'an to reinforce the county seat of Daimyo were basically infantry. And Li Yunlong's troops are all cavalry, if we suddenly withdraw from the Daimyo county town when we learn that our reinforcements have arrived, it will be difficult for us to intercept their cavalry! ”

Suddenly, Tomoki Onodera thought of something, and said to Yuichiro Hatta in a condensed voice.

Yuichiro Hatta didn't think of this, but although he mastered a division, most of the cavalry units under the division were in the Yongnian and Xingtai areas, and it was estimated that it was too late to be transferred south at this time.

Therefore, Hatta Yuichiro could only shake his head helplessly and said: "It's too late to send cavalry south, at this time, we can only look at Guangping, and after the reinforcements from Cheng'an and the defenders of Daimyo County will be able to join forces inside and outside to attack Li Yunlong's troops under the city." I hope that Li Yunlong will be arrogant and arrogant, and he will not know that my reinforcements have set off to reinforce the county town of Daimyo, and with lightning speed, they will be killed under the county town of Daimyo, and they will be besieged by us inside and outside in a panic. Let's take a look! By the way, Chief of Staff, if there is an update on the situation, please report to me at any time! ’。

"Understood, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Tomoki Onodera could only pause heavily.

At this time, under the county town of Daimyo, Li Yunlong commanded a battalion and other horses except for the independent battalion and cavalry company, besieging the city and making noise, provoking and insulting the Japanese puppet army in the city.

"Bagaya Road, Li Yunlong really wants to provoke us. Although they wantonly stormed the east gate a few minutes ago, they seemed to be a feint, trying to provoke us to go out of the city and fight back! Hmph, think beautifully! At the head of the East Gate City, Junichiro Yamaoka, the captain of the Japanese garrison who was carefully avoiding the bullets of Li Yunlong's army outside the city, said with a sneer to the chief of staff Miyata Yusheng beside him.

Miyata Yousheng said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, don't be careless. We must calm down, once we are provoked by the other party to go out of the city to fight back, we can only become the prey of the opponent's iron cavalry in vain! ”。

"That's nature. By the way, Chief of Staff, has the latest call from the Handan Division Headquarters come back? ”

Miyata Yusheng shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, but Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the reply from His Excellency the division commander, he still asks us to stay and wait for help." The strength of at least one infantry brigade of the imperial army, which had been reinforced by mobile reinforcements from Cheng'an and Quang Binh, rushed to the foot of the county town of Daimyo, and it only took about 20 minutes. At least ten minutes or so had passed, and in half the time, reinforcements would arrive. ’。

"Yo Si. Even if Li Yunlong waved his army to storm the county seat of Daimyo at this time, in ten minutes, Ben Shaozuo would still be able to hold it. Order all the Imperial Allied Army and Imperial Army soldiers, if the other side dares to launch a fierce attack, all ammunition do not have to be stingy, all open fire and counterattack, at least to block the opponent's several fierce attacks, and insist that reinforcements arrive. If you dare to retreat and desert, you will die! Junichiro Yamaoka coldly gave a stern counterattack order.

I saw that Miyata Yousheng also agreed very much, and said with a heavy pause: "Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo, obey your orders!" Then, Miyata Yusheng directly waved his hand and ordered several Japanese heralds next to him to send orders to the defenders at the city gate to defend to the death.

It's just that although Junichiro Yamaoka was very worried about Li Yunlong's army outside the city, after the clamor did not see the defenders in the city go out of the city to counterattack, he began to storm the city in the real sense.

However, after a long time, Junichiro Yamaoka and Yusei Miyata, the chief of staff, did not see the real onslaught of Li Yunlong's army outside the city, and at this time, the old devil Junichiro Yamaoka felt a little wrong in his heart.

And at this time, Junichiro Yamaoka finally sensed that something was wrong.

At this time, according to Li Yunlong's order, Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion who was preparing to ambush on both sides of the road in the north of the city and Wuli Land, had already set up an ambush and prepared in advance with half of Wang Chengzhu's artillery force and the cavalry company commanded by Sun Desheng.

"Battalion commander, almost fifteen minutes have passed, and the guard post has reported that the Japanese reinforcements have been spotted galloping on the road. The little devils used trucks to transport troops and horses, and the preliminary and intercepted enemy troops were given emergency telegrams, and the opposing reinforcements were at least one infantry brigade or so. We also found two Type 92 infantry guns behind the opposing truck! In the headquarters of the ambush position, Zhou Hua saw the report of the soldiers who were in front of the investigation who came back in a hurry and panting.

Zhou Hua bowed his head and motioned for the soldiers who reported to rest to the side, and then the battalion staff officer said to Zhou Hua: "Battalion commander, the little devil reinforcements have two Type 92 infantry guns. We only have 10 mortars in our hands, and if the opponent mounts the infantry guns to fight back, we will have a hard time! ”。

"In this ambush and artillery bombardment, Wang Chengzhu personally commanded half of the artillery to cooperate with our ambush. Explain this situation to Wang Chengzhu, this kid will know what to do! Zhou Hua waved his hand and said to the battalion staff officer without any worry.

"Yes, battalion commander! I understand! ”

The staff officer of the battalion headquarters suddenly realized, and immediately smiled and said a little embarrassed, this is forgetting that Wang Chengzhu personally commanded the artillery to cooperate with the independent battalion to ambush.

Wang Chengzhu's artillery attack technique was so awesome that he immediately commanded the artillery to blow up the two Type 92 infantry guns towed behind the opponent's truck, and basically held the handle in the shelling on both sides of the road.

At about seventeen or eighteen minutes, a reinforcement convoy of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, which had rushed to the Daimyo county seat for reinforcements, formed a long reinforcement line and headed for the daimyo county seat.

"Made, brothers, call me!" Zhou Hua sneered and observed that the Japanese infantry brigade reinforced by the other party had all entered the ambush circle, and suddenly gave an order, signaling Wang Chengzhu's artillery to immediately open artillery bombardment.

The infantry soldiers who were condescendingly ambushing on the hillsides on both sides of the road also opened fire in unison, and suddenly the sound of gunfire resounded on the narrow road.
