Chapter 398: Encirclement and Annihilation
"The cavalry who ate the devil? Commander, that's the devil's cavalry! And two cavalry squadrons, at least two or three hundred cavalry! We now have only a little more than a hundred cavalry, and we do not have the advantage of completely annihilating the devil's cavalry. Zhang Dabiao exclaimed, although Sun Desheng's cavalry company has good combat effectiveness, but at this time Sun Desheng only has more than 100 cavalry in his hands, and it is very difficult to completely annihilate the two squadrons of devil cavalry.
Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong, who was on the side, to take out the map from the document bag and spread it out, and then squatted down with Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie, and Sun Desheng, the cavalry company commander who had just arrived.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "Judging from the current situation, the devil cavalry has already marched westward. Once the little devil cavalry picks up speed, it will catch up with us in at least fifteen minutes or so! At the moment, the cavalry company has only a hundred cavalry, and the comparison does not have an advantage. But we can't give up the annihilation of this Japanese army, otherwise there will be a Japanese cavalry chasing after us, and it will be a great threat to our main infantry force! ”。
"What do you mean, Captain?" He Yongjie spoke up.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice: "When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and the two devil cavalry squadrons are just that." If you want to eat the devil cavalry, you can only find a place to set up an ambush to trap the devil cavalry, and then use submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns to surround and shoot on all sides, and gather and annihilate the Japanese cavalry in one fell swoop. ”。
According to the class of warfare, cavalry should be defeated by cavalry. However, at present, Sun Desheng only has more than 100 cavalry in his hands to follow the troops. The rest of the cavalry, some of them stayed in Lingqiu County, and Guangling County to cooperate with the local guerrillas.
Therefore, when the number of cavalry did not have an advantage, Li Yunlong could only choose to use rapid-fire firepower to trap the Japanese cavalry units in one place and then crush them with firepower.
He Yongjie and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other, and then Zhang Dabiao said loudly: "Commander, this method is good!" Judging from the map, this is the most suitable place to ambush the devil cavalry! ”。
"Beiguan Village?" Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said.
Zhang Dabiao pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice: "Regiment leader, Beiguan Village is located in the southeast of Zhaojiayu, fifteen miles downstream of the Sangqian River. Beiguan Village is located on the north bank of the Sangqian River, where when the Sangqian River passes, it becomes a very extreme bend river terrain. The terrain of the south bank is low-lying, and the terrain is lower the farther north it is, forming a triangular concave. Once we attract the devils here, we can pour out the firepower on both wings and gather and annihilate the devil cavalry in one fell swoop, and there is a great possibility of success. Even if it can't be completely annihilated, it is still possible to annihilate most of its Japanese cavalry! ”。
When Li Yunlong heard this, he carefully looked at the terrain of Beiguan Village on the north bank of the Sangqian River, fifteen miles southeast of Zhaojiayu, on the captured military map of Jin Province drawn by the Japanese army, and immediately clapped his hands and smiled.
"Well, nice place! Now we're here. If the troops want to go to Zhaojiayu, they must also pass through Beiguan Village! Ordered the troops, speed up, and rush to Beiguan Village to set up an ambush. Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered.
Zhang Dabiao and He Yongjie stood up and said: "Yes, head of the regiment!" ”。
And when the two of them left to command the troops to speed up, Li Yunlong said to Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company: "Old Sun, you kid took all the cavalry and rushed to Beiguan Village to survey the terrain and landforms. After the ambush starts, you command the cavalry, trap the remnants of the devil cavalry, be sure to strangle all the remnants of the Japanese cavalry, and be sure not to let a single devil cavalry escape! ”。
"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission! Hey, hey, hey! Sun Desheng smiled and stood right, and finally got the battle for the cavalry, Sun Desheng was naturally very happy and ran away.
The plan had been decided, and Li Yunlong commanded the troops to march quickly to Beiguan Village to set up an ambush.
The two cavalry squadrons of Seishiro Itagaki of the Japanese Army's Itagaki Division were already less than ten minutes away from the troops commanded by Li Yunlong at this time.
I have to say that the speed of the Japanese cavalry was very fast, and in the case of snow, they overcame unfavorable conditions and shortened the distance with Li Yunlong's department.
The commander of the devil cavalry was actually a Japanese co-captain, Tsuda Wangdasa, who continued to order the troops to pursue the troops under the command of Li Yunlong with a frown at this time.
"Your Excellency Dazuo, there is still no sign of the Zhina Army in the direction of the two banks of the river!" The sound of horses' hooves came from the west, and a Japanese cavalry scouted back and reported to the cavalry wing commander Tsuda Nobozo!
Tsuda Nobozo's face was gloomy and gloomy.
He personally led two cavalry squadrons to pursue the footprints of Li Yunlong's department, but he still didn't find it, and it seemed that there was still some distance left.
So, the old devil waved his hand and said, "Continue to the west, pay attention to the exploration!" Let the signal corps report to the division commander that there is no sign of Li Yunlong's department for the time being, and our cavalry unit will continue to move westward to investigate! ”。
"Hayi, Your Excellency Dazuo!" The Japanese cavalry looked at Tsuda on horseback, and after a shout, he turned his horse and left to give the order.
Tsudaki soon commanded the Japanese cavalry and continued to advance westward. On the other hand, Nozomi Tsuda's urgent call quickly contacted Seishiro Itagaki .
got an urgent call from Tsuda Wang, and the old devil Itagaki Seishiro's face was very unnatural. However, according to the time and distance, it is still possible that the cavalry troops have not yet met Li Yunlong's troops.
"Call back to Tsuda Nozomi and ask him to speed up his investigation! Once the main force of Li Yunlong's department is discovered, the incomparable firefight drags them down! Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and ordered the Japanese staff officer who had come to report the situation.
The staff officer of the Japanese army who accompanied the army paused and said: "Hayi, division commander!" ”。
As for asking Tsuda Nobo's cavalry troops to pay attention to safety, Itagaki Seishiro believed that the Japanese cavalry under his command was extraordinary. Even if he couldn't beat it, it was still okay for the horse to evacuate, so he didn't specifically ask Tsuda Wang in the callback.
And afterwards, Itagaki Seishiro was very remorseful, and he regretted that he despised Li Yunlong's boldness that could not be ignored. He didn't expect afterwards that Li Yunlong would dare to ambush two Japanese cavalry squadrons, which was unimaginable.
At this time, Li Yunlong and the others were already about ten minutes ahead of Jintian Wang's cavalry troops and arrived at Beiguan Village. However, at this time, Beiguan Village was already in ruins, and the village had already been burned, looted, and burned by the Japanese army passing through Beiguan Village during the previous Japanese attack on Jin Province.
Therefore, there are no ordinary people in Beiguan Village at this time. However, in Zhaojiayu, fifteen miles to the northwest, there is Yang Xiuqin's Women's Rescue Association, and there are hundreds of villagers in Zhaojiayu who are still living in Zhaojiayu.
After arriving at Beiguan Village, Li Yunlong ordered He Yongjie and Zhang Dabiao to lead their troops to ambush the left and right flanks of the triangle on the south bank of the Sangqian River that flowed through Beiguan Village. The location of the entrance of the village, on the north bank of the Sangqian River, is Li Yunlong personally commanded more than 100 soldiers to live at the entrance of the village. Sun Desheng's cavalry of more than 100 was patrolling the periphery, killing the remnants of the Japanese cavalry after the encirclement and annihilation at any time.
"Captain! All set! Wei Dayong quickly reported to Li Yunlong that the various departments had already laid an ambush and that the deployment was ready.
