"Lan Feng is under attack? Requesting reinforcements? What's going on? ”

Genguchi Isshin and Jitaro Aoto exclaimed at the same time, how is this possible?

I saw that the devil radioman who came to report urgently paused and said: "This is a message for help from the Lanfeng defenders!" ”。

Genguchi grabbed it with all his heart and took a closer look, and then quickly handed it to the chief of staff of the division, Jitaro Aodo, who was on the side!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Lanfeng defenders are in an emergency, and suddenly a large number of enemy cavalry are killing the city of Lanfeng. Fortunately, all the city gates in Lanfeng County were closed after night in accordance with the orders of the previous division commander, and the city head deployed the Imperial Association Army and part of the Imperial Army to guard the city at night. Otherwise, let your guard down and defend the city, and this enemy cavalry will enter the city! ”

Genguchi nodded and said to Aoto Jitaro: "The defenders are in a hurry, and the attacking enemy army suddenly kills from the north. Fast as the wind, swift as the attack. Although the Imperial Association army on duty at the head of the city was found and shot to warn, the attacking enemy was cavalry, and the Lanfeng defenders were in a hurry, and the enemy cavalry besieging the city was at least between 10,000 and 20,000. The attack is fierce, and Lan Feng is afraid that he will not be able to hold it! ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the journey from Lanfeng to Kaifeng is at least nearly two hours. Although there is a railway between the two cities, which can shorten the reinforcements, the imperial army in Lanfeng City may not be able to support the transfer of troops from Kaifeng City to reinforcements and arrive and will be lost. Jitaro Aoto pointed to the map and said in a quiet voice.

The old devil Yuankou looked at the map intently, and pondered carefully, "The attacking enemy army is cavalry, and there are so many, even if you send troops to reinforce Lanfeng, it doesn't make much sense!" This enemy force of more than 10,000 cavalry suddenly appeared did not know whether it was the troops of the National Army or the troops of the Eighth Route Army. Or some other enemy unit! But the cavalry comes and goes like the wind, even if Lan Feng is on the railway line, the other party will attack fiercely, and Lan Feng's little strength may not be able to withstand it, and he will not be able to hold on to the arrival of reinforcements! ”

Aoto Jitaro said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Lan Feng urgently called for reinforcements, what should we do?" Do you send reinforcements? ”。

"If the enemy infantry attacks Lanfeng, relying on Lanfeng's city walls, it is still possible to defend the city and wait for reinforcements."

Yuankou raised the Lanfeng devil in his hand with a little bitterness and said: "But the Lanfeng defenders reported that although the attacking enemy army was cavalry, their tactics of dismounting and attacking the city were very skillful, and at first glance, they were the elite troops of the enemy army who were very familiar with the infantry and cavalry. Lanfeng was surrounded by impassable water, the siege was fierce, and the opponent still had at least fifteen infantry guns of more than 70 mm caliber! Lan Feng couldn't hold it, and he couldn't hold on to it, and the reinforcements arrived. Now even if he orders the troops in the city to make a train to the east to reinforce Lanfeng, it is too late. ”。

"Division commander, are you watching Lan Feng lose? Lanfeng is the gateway to the east of Kaifeng. Once lost, Kaifeng will inevitably shake! Jitaro Aoto said in a low voice.

Of course, Yuankou Yixin is aware of the impact of Lanfeng's loss, not only that Lanfeng's loss has greatly shocked Kaifeng.

Just because Lanfeng was lost, the Longhai Railway was already threatened by an unknown enemy cavalry at this moment. This has a huge impact on the war that is supplying the Japanese troops on the flank of the Zhongtiao Mountain front through the Longhai Railway.

It's just that there are too many cities and towns in eastern Henan that need to be guarded by the 35th Division, especially the important cities along the Longhai Railway, and the 35th Division and 100,000 Imperial Cooperative Army in the hands of Yuankou have been distributed.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to keep the Longhai Railway and other important transportation places.

It's just that Aoto Jitaro is right, the impact of Lanfeng's loss is too great, and reinforcements must be sent to send troops!

Thinking of this, the old devil Yuankou said ruthlessly: "Call back to the Lanfeng defenders, how long can they hold Lanfeng now?" ”。

"The Lanfeng defenders have already said in the telegram that the division commander is the commander, and the Lanfeng defenders report to the division headquarters that they can only hold Lanfeng for an hour!" Jitaro Aoto said in a low voice.

Yuankou shook his head and said: "It's impossible, Lanfeng's defenders only have an imperial army of less than seven hundred people, and the combat effectiveness of the remaining two thousand imperial troops is almost negligible. It was impossible for Lan Feng to hold on for an hour. Damn, call back to the Lanfeng defenders and defend to the end! Ordered to test the city, Nei Huang's troops closed the city and defended it! Warning to Guide, Yucheng and Xuzhou to strengthen precautions! Send a telegram to Xuzhou Airport, let the fighters of the air force take off immediately after dawn, and reinforce our 35th Division to reconnoiter and bomb the enemy cavalry attacking Lanfeng! Such a large force of enemy cavalry killed in eastern Henan, and the traces could not be hidden at all! The terrain in eastern Henan is flat, and although it is suitable for cavalry, our reconnaissance planes can also detect their traces at any time. Let's do it first! ”。

"Yes, division commander! I'll deploy it right away! ”

Aoto Jitaro thought about it, and it seemed that it could only be like this!

Yuankou Yixin continued to look at the huge map with a blue face and was silent, such a large group of cavalry suddenly killed in the area of eastern Henan, at this time, Yuankou wanted to break his head and didn't understand, what kind of sacredness is so good, he is not afraid of death to come to eastern Henan to die.

It's just that what Yuankou didn't expect was that it was Li Yunlong's troops who rushed south from the Hengshan base area!

If Yuankou knew at this time that it was Li Yunlong's troops who traveled thousands of miles from Hengshan to the south of Yu Province at night, it is estimated that he would be stunned.

At this time, the headquarters of the 35th Division of the devil in Kaifeng City was in a panic and issued a guard order.

Outside Lanfeng City, Li Yunlong's troops who stormed Lanfeng have surrounded Lanfeng, and the surrounding water is impassable!

Li Yunlong commanded the troops, relying on the support of war horses, with super mobility, all the way along the mountain road on the bank of the Yellow River to drive eastward, and then south to attack Lanfeng.

Lanfeng County, which was in the early hours of the morning, was attacked, although it was discovered by the Imperial Association Army on duty at night.

But Li Yunlong quickly ordered all troops to dismount and start an infantry siege!

The troops under the command of Zhang Dabiao and others were all infantry, with cavalry on the horse and infantry on the horse.

The siege of the city is all the housekeeping skills of Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others!

And Wang Chengzhu, who was responsible for the cover of artillery fire, quickly unloaded the artillery, quickly assembled and built an artillery position, and opened fire violently!

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The fierce artillery bombardment directly bombed Lan Feng's devils and the Imperial Army!

On the head of Lanfeng City, the Imperial Association Army on duty at night was suddenly blown up by a cannonball, crying dad and calling mother, and the artillery fire at night directly blew up the city!

Lan Feng in the night was suddenly illuminated by artillery fire!

I have to say that Li Yunlong commanded the troops to attack suddenly, and directly bombed the enemy troops in Lanfeng. Moreover, as Yuankou guessed, it was impossible for Lanfeng's devils to hold on to Lanfeng County for an hour.

After half an hour of attack, Lan Feng was broken through by Li Yunlong's troops.

After the fierce artillery fire blew open the north gate and east gate of Lanfeng, Shen Qun and Zhang Dabiao, who were besieging the city, and Ma Wenhai attacked the city of Lanfeng from the east gate and the north gate! In less than forty minutes, Lanfeng was recovered by Li Yunlong's troops, and the total number of devils and imperial troops stationed in Lanfeng was more than 2,900 people!
