Chapter 458: The Western Barrier

Li Yunlong, who was on the way north, was only slightly interested in the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

What's more, at present, nearly 1,000 rebel soldiers from the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army who surrendered are secretly recruited, so they will not be able to stay in Lijiazhen for too long. Otherwise, Chu Yunfei would inevitably find an opportunity to get these soldiers back.

Therefore, Li Yunlong took advantage of the delay in the negotiations and had already ordered Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others to lead a large army to the north with the reorganized soldiers of the Jin Sui Army.

After Li Yunlong handed over Qian Bojun and other rebel officers and some of the rebel soldiers who had defected to the Japanese army to Chu Yunfei for artillery execution, Li Yunlong immediately rushed to catch up with the large army with some of the soldiers who were protecting him.

At this time, Li Yunlong was braving the wind and snow and galloping north with his troops, preparing to sneak attack Zuoyun depending on the situation.

"Commander, Chu Yunfei didn't chase after him? Didn't he realize that after we defeated the rebels of Qian Bojun, we took in the rebel soldiers who were captured? During the march, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, asked Li Yunlong with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao has also been in contact with the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, after all, the 358 Regiment, under the leadership of Chu Yunfei, is one of the few Jin Sui Army units in the Jin Sui Army that dares to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. It's hard not to want to know,

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands at this time, warmed his hands and said with a smile, "Of course I won't chase it, damn, what kind of unit is our new regiment, I believe Chu Yunfei also knows the results of our recent attacks on the Japanese army in Shanxi." With the intelligence system in Chu Yunfei's hand, it is not difficult to know our brilliant results. In addition, we went all the way south from the mouth of the tiger, captured Youyu, broke through Pinglu, and defeated more than 2,000 rebels of Qian Bojun's army, even if Chu Yunfei pulled out the remaining 3,000 people of his 358th regiment to surround us, it may not be able to succeed. ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "So, of course Chu Yunfei won't chase after him. If we dare to chase it, we will dare to use the excuse that Chu Yunfei's troops attacked the friendly forces without authorization, and teach these guys a hard lesson to the Jin Suijun. ”。

"Commander, you're awesome!" Zhang Dabiao said admiringly.

At this time, He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion who followed Li Yunlong on the side, said loudly: "Regiment commander, we have now arrived on the west side of Daiyue, should we attack in the direction of Daiyue, and then the troops will directly cross Daiyue and attack in the direction of Yingcheng and Hunyuan, and withdraw to the Hengshan base area?" We've been out for at least three or four days! ”。

When Li Yunlong heard this, he thought of Zhao Gang and them in the Hengshan base area, so he recruited the soldiers of the signal corps accompanying the army to send a report to the Hengshan base area to ask about Zhao Gang's command of the troops left behind.

A few minutes later, the communications corps of the army reported to Li Yunlong Lizheng, "The regiment commander, the political commissar has called back that the Japanese army has begun to attack the Hengshan base area. First of all, the first brigade of the Japanese army, with a total of more than 3,000 people in two integrated brigades and part of the puppet army, attacked the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge, the gateway to our Hengshan base area. Good to find that we have built a bunker fortification in the gorge, withstood the Japanese artillery bombardment, and temporarily had no worries about the base area. However, the casualties of the troops at the mouth of the valley began to increase. ”。

"Regiment Commander, it seems that the battle situation in the Hengshan Base Area is not good! Do you want to return to the Hengshan base? He Yongjie said worriedly.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said without worry: "The terrain at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge in the Hengshan Base Area is narrow, and it is impossible to open it if you are a man. What's more, we have built barbed wire fortifications and trenches at the mouth of the canyon, and behind these fortifications there are reinforced concrete pillboxes, which are enough to withstand the bombardment of enemy artillery of more than 120 mm caliber! Therefore, there is no problem for Zhao Gang to command the remaining troops to hold the base area for the time being. What's more, if we go back now, maybe it's the same as Shinozuka Yoshio's intentions. ”。

"Commander, do you mean that we are maneuvering on the periphery to attract Yoshio Shinozuka's attention?" Zhang Dabiao said in a condensed voice.

Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to take out the military map from the document bag he was carrying, spread it out, pointed to it, and said, "Right now, our army has advanced to the west of Daiyue, the edge of the mountain at the foot of Hongtao Mountain. Although it is not a problem to take Daiyue, once we attack Daiyue and Yingcheng, the Japanese army in the direction of Hunyuan will inevitably be alert and outflank the westward. This is very bad for us. ”。

"Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that Seishiro's department of Itagaki passes through Daiyue and Huairen goes south and goes south, and goes north to Zuoyun. As long as we attack Zuoyun and Quankou, we will have the opportunity to storm Datong. This time, labor and management want to defeat the Japanese army in Datong, which makes Yoshio Shinozuka feel the pain of his skin. Li Yunlong pointed to the point of Datong on the map and sneered.

"Regiment commander, your ultimate goal is to attack the Japanese defenders in Datong? There were more than 9,000 Japanese troops there! Moreover, the city wall of Datong is solid, and the garrison fortifications of the city wall are very complete. Since ancient times, Datong has been an important town on the nine sides, such a big city, with nearly 2,000 people now, it seems a little powerless to attack such a big city! Zhang Dabiao exclaimed.

The others were also shocked, their own regiment commander was so awesome, dare to attack the Japanese defenders in Datong with less than 2,000 men?

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Nu works hard, it's still okay." Brothers, you have to have faith, not to mention that in Datong, aren't there intelligence officers of our army? What's more, we now have nearly 2,000 men and horses, and it is not impossible to break through Datong with mental calculations or unintentional. What's more, the little devil wouldn't have thought that we would suddenly really attack Datong. At this time, the Japanese army in Datong would never have thought that we would kill a horse pistol! ”。

"Commander, you are so good! I'm convinced! He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said with great admiration, although it was not a long time to join the new regiment, but the recent actions of following Li Yunlong to maneuver around to attack the Japanese army made He Yongjie addicted.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Haha, brothers, you still have to think about your dreams." Our advantage is mobile warfare, but we also have to carry out some attacks on towns and cities that are heavily fortified by the Japanese army. In this way, we can train the ability of our new regiment of soldiers to attack fortified positions. After all, if you want to deal with the Japanese army in the future, you will inevitably attack the towns where the Japanese troops are stationed. Order your troops, speed up your march and gallop north! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" The crowd responded.

Half a day later, Li Yunlong led his troops to Zuoyun and set up an ambush.

Zuoyun County, belonging to Datong City, Shanxi, Zuoyun County is located in the northern plateau, east of Datong, west of Youyu, south of Shuozhou, north of Ho City, strategic location is very important, is the west gate of Datong. As long as you capture Zuoyun, you can safely storm Datong.
