"It seems that Li Yunlong has realized that it is impossible to attack Longhua in the south, Chengde and other places. Coupled with the fact that the 4th Brigade of our cavalry galloped south in pursuit, it was impossible for Li Yunlong not to notice it! It is estimated that there is a danger of being intercepted by our imperial army from the north and south, and this is to cover the eastward advance of the main force after holding the county seat of the paddock! ”

After letting a confidential devil staff officer next to him take out the map and spread it out, Taketaka Yamato pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice.

If Li Yunlong led his troops to stay in the paddock and other places, or went south to attack Longhua, Chengde and other places, then he would be under the interception and attack of the Japanese army in the north and south.

It's just that the other side obviously has no intention of carrying out here, and has withdrawn from the paddock county in time and no longer goes south, but east, which is enough to get rid of the 4th Cavalry Brigade and Longhua, and the north and south interceptions of the Japanese army in Chengde.

Ichisataro also looked at the map and said in a condensed voice: "Brigade commander, judging from the map, Li Yunlong may not have attacked Chifeng from the northeast. Chifeng is also a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Imperial Army stationed in the city had at least one infantry brigade or more, and at least one regiment of the Imperial Allied Army. With this kind of force stationed in Jiancheng, Li Yunlong is unlikely to be able to take it. I am afraid that Li Yunlong will lead his main force to the east to cross the Xibo River and drive directly to the mountains of the remaining veins of Yanshan. ”。

Seeing this, Taketaka Yamato looked at the map along the fingers of Ichitsataro, and his eyes suddenly became solemn.

"Yaga, there is really such a possibility!"

Yamato Taketaka said in a condensed voice: "No, if you lose it, Your Excellency the General will not spare you and me!" Order all cavalry wings to immediately bypass the paddock county town and march east to catch up! Hurry up and drop! ”。

"Hai, brigade commander."

Ichisataro paused heavily, and then immediately sent a devil herald to the various departments to execute.

As Li Yunlong deliberately commanded the main force of the army to pass through the Weichang County and successfully confuse the enemy, Yamato Taketaka immediately ordered the devil cavalry of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Command Post to march non-stop from the low-lying terrain composed of a mountain peak in the west direction between the two mountains through the mountain road to the east of the Weichang County.

The area of the low-lying basin between the three mountains is still very large, and it is still easy to accommodate at least more than 10,000 devil soldiers.

At this time, it is already early spring, everything is revived, and the mountains are full of trees, and the lush leaves have grown.

The dense woods concealed the ambush of the new regiment hidden halfway up the mountainside and on the top of the mountain, and through the triangular terrain, Yamato Taketaka actually did not send troops to reconnoitre. The old devil just urged the cavalry wings to pass quickly and march east of the awl.

"Eight grid tooth road, hurry up and drop, hurry up and drop quickly!" The mountain road is narrow, and when passing through the triangular terrain, the speed of the devil cavalry cannot be fast, which makes Yamato Taketaka very annoyed.

At the current rate, it will take at least ten minutes to pass through the area of Awl Mountain.

And at this time, Li Yunlong's main force also ran far away. What's more, the besieging county town is still in the hands of the new regiment of the palace rear troops, and Yamato Taketaka also needs to send a cavalry to dismount as infantry to attack the city.

Otherwise, having a new regiment and a battalion that is no less powerful than the Japanese infantry is also a great threat.

Therefore, Yamato Taketaka hurriedly urged the cavalry wings of all departments to pass through the area of Awl Mountain as soon as possible.

At this time, on the top of the main peak of Awl Mountain, in the hidden bunker of the command headquarters, Li Yunlong looked down the mountain from the observation hole of the bunker headquarters.

I saw that the dense devil cavalry was blocked in the low-lying area between the three mountains, and the speed was already limited by the terrain and couldn't go faster.

The chief of staff of the cavalry brigade, Ichisataro, who was following Taketaka Yamato, was riding on the back of a war horse, and when he saw the low-lying terrain formed between Awl Mountain, Beacon Mountain, and another mountain peak in the west, his heart suddenly chuckled. House

Ichisataro looked around again, and saw that the surrounding mountains were quiet, and not a single bird was squeaking.

"Brigade commander, brigade commander, the situation is not right! In the surrounding mountains and woods, you can't hear the birds chirping at all! Ichisataro didn't yell immediately, but approached Taketaka Yamato, who was also riding on horseback, and whispered.

"Nani?"

When Taketaka Yamato heard this, he didn't know why, but he still looked around at the woods on the surrounding mountains.

Taketaka Yamato saw that there were birds hovering in the sky above the surrounding mountains, but they did not fly into the woods on the mountains below.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

Yamato Taketaka had a high degree of sharpness on the battlefield, and immediately realized why the birds hovering in the sky did not land in the woods on the mountain, it was because there were a large number of people and horses hiding in the woods on the mountain below.

With so many people hiding in the woods on the mountain, and so many birds hovering in the sky, how could they dare to land in the woods?

"Brigade commander, what to do? The terrain here is unfavorable, it is a low-lying terrain, a huge basin! Ichisataro shuddered, and at this time, the devil cavalry of the 4th Cavalry Brigade had not yet walked out of this huge low-lying basin and rushed to the county town of Weichang.

Once there is really a large number of enemy troops in ambush on the surrounding mountains, under the condescending blow of firepower, the 4th Brigade of the Devil Cavalry, which is purely cavalry, will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. You must know that in this kind of terrain, the guys in the hands of the devil cavalry can't stop the condescending attack of the enemy's firepower.

What's more, the cavalry did not carry many heavy weapons themselves, and even if they were, they were all mortars, grenadiers, and heavy machine guns. The rest of the devil cavalry, the weapons in their hands are sabers and cavalry guns, and the range and firepower cannot be compared with ordinary infantry rifle weapons.

"Order all cavalry wings to retreat slowly! Don't mess around! Order the heavy machine gunners and mortars, grenadiers, etc. of the cavalry wings to dismount, establish blocking positions, cover the retreat of the cavalry units, and drip quickly. Yamato Takerji pretended to be calm and ordered in a low voice.

At this time, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the cavalry had not yet been attacked, he hurriedly retreated. As long as they withdraw from the area of Awl Mountain, then even if the enemy army wants to eat them in one fell swoop, it is delusional.

"Hay! Brigade Commander! Ichisataro replied in a low voice.

Just before Ichisataro sent someone to give the order, suddenly on Awl Mountain, Beacon Mountain, and another mountain peak in the western direction between the two mountains, the overwhelming artillery fire suddenly roared and smashed down.

The tail flame of the shells was clearly visible in the somewhat gloomy sky, and the shells of the mortars, as well as the shells of more than a dozen infantry guns and mountain guns carried by the new regiment, slammed down the mountain.

"Eight grid tooth road, quickly hide, anti-artillery!" Yamato Taketaka watched all the Japanese cavalry stunned, and roared anxiously.

Soon, under the roars of Taketaka Yamato and Taro Ichisataro, the ghost cavalry who had been stunned for a few seconds suddenly panicked one by one.

Especially at this time, all the main forces of the 4th Brigade of the Devil Cavalry had already entered the ambush triangle, and at the moment of the shelling, Li Yunlong had already commanded Wang Chengzhu's army to run and block the main devil's entry and exit with artillery fire.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

The shells exploded in the triangular ambush terrain, and the Japanese cavalry huddled together were instantly blown up.
