Chapter 271: Capturing Yangxing
Yangquan is located in the west of the middle of Taihang Mountain, north of Xinzhou Dingxiang, Wutai, east of Shijiazhuang Pingshan, Jingcheng of Hebei Province, south of Xiyang County in Jinzhong, west of Shouyang in Jinzhong, Taiyuan Yangqu County; It is about 106 kilometers long from north to south and 42 kilometers wide from east to west.
Since ancient times, it has been the gateway of the three Jin Dynasty, guarding the key points, and being a place for soldiers to fight!
Such an important gateway place, a place where soldiers must fight, must be heavily guarded by Japanese troops. Li Yunlong said that he would go back to the east to attack Yangquan in the south, which made Zhang Dabiao suddenly surprised.
"Yes, Dayang Spring! Yangquan is a place where the Japanese army is heavily garrisoned, according to the Japanese army intelligence collected from all over Jin Province before we set off, the Japanese troops stationed in Yangquan at this time have only one infantry wing, and it is not a full infantry wing, which is estimated to be about 3,000 people. We still have more than 1,000 brothers at the moment, who are unprepared to attack Yangquan in the south, and I believe that the little devils in Yangquan at this time will definitely not think that labor and management will dare to fight Yangquan alone! Even if it's an old guy Yoshio Shinozuka, he can't think of it! Li Yunlong smiled, pointed to the map and said to everyone.
Zhou Hua, the commander of the special battalion, and Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, both looked at each other, attacking Yangquan, the regiment commander's idea is really crazy!
"Captain!" Zhou Hua said worriedly: "Although the brothers are not afraid of death. However, the geographical location of Yangquan is too important, it is still on the communication line, and not far from its east side is Niangzi Pass, where there are also Japanese garrisons. There are Japanese garrisons in Shouyang on the west side and Pingding and other places in the south, so we can send reinforcements when the Japanese army in Yangquan is attacked by us! We're in danger of being besieged on all sides! ”。
Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, agreed with Zhou Hua's worries, after all, the current strength of the new regiment to move around is only more than 1,000 people left, and there is still a part of the decoy force to attack Huangzhai, which can be used to attack Yangquan, which is not much.
The Japanese garrison in Yangquan has more than 3,000 people, and maybe there are puppet troops to help defend the city, if this is a hard fight, the odds may not be as easy as the previous night attack on Ningwu, Guangwu and other places.
Seeing that everyone was not very interested in going south to attack Yangquan, Li Yunlong shook his head, and continued to point to the spread map and said: "Judging from the current situation, we have been pursued by the Sugihara Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army in Xinkou, and we have not completely escaped the sight of the Sugihara Infantry Brigade at the moment!" Therefore, if according to the previous plan, if he goes south from the Huangzhai line to threaten Taiyuan, I am afraid that he will be surrounded and intercepted by Shinozuka Yoshio! Therefore, labor and management have to find another way and take a path that even Yoshio Shinozuka would not have thought of to fight! ”。
"Commander, if that's the case! If we attack Yangquan, the casualties of the troops may be very large! Zhang Dabiao said worriedly, after all, this attack has at least lost a lot of soldiers, and at this time, attacking Yangquan, a place where soldiers must fight, will not suffer fewer casualties.
Although the new regiment was coaxing, Zhang Dabiao and others all knew that it was impossible for the troops to fight all the way without casualties. As for the attack on Yangquan, in the eyes of Zhang Dabiao and others, the casualties are definitely greater than the casualties of the attack on Xinkou.
However, Li Yunlong has already decided, under the current weather conditions, Shinozuka Yoshio would never have thought that he had led the army to Yangxing, and his own side on the front line of Huangzhai would suddenly turn back and detour to the east, go south to Mengcheng, and Qingcheng line to attack Yangquan.
And this hit Yang Spring will definitely surprise Yoshio Shinozuka. After all, the old devil would never have imagined that the new regiment would suddenly attack Yangquan in a roundabout way. Once Yangquan is taken, the main force of the new regiment can attack Yuci and other places in the west, and approach Taiyuan City.
At this time, the new regiment will definitely shake the morale of the military and civilians in the Second War Zone and even all parts of the country, and this is Li Yunlong's plan.
In fact, in this mobile operation out of Hengshan, Li Yunlong's ultimate goal was to attack to the vicinity of Taiyuan to deter the Japanese First Army!
Therefore, according to the situation on the battlefield, Li Yunlong could only choose to find another way to attack Yangquan by taking a detour based on the actual situation on the battlefield.
Zhang Dabiao and the others saw that Li Yunlong's words were conclusive, and they were full of determination, and immediately looked at each other and nodded in agreement with Li Yunlong's suggestion.
"Well, since the brothers have agreed! Then next, after we wave our army directly to Yangxing, after replenishing the consumed grain, grass and ammunition with the enemy's materials in Yangxing City, the main force will return to the east! As for the decoy troops! Who goes? Li Yunlong pointed to a point on the map, Huangzhai City, and asked everyone.
Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, immediately said: "Regiment commander, I'll take someone there!" ”。
"No!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "You kid don't have to go in person!" You can draw a small force in the three battalions, and you don't need too much, just one company, more than 100 people can make more flags, and open up the posture to attack and advance in the direction of Huangzhai! Just attract the attention of the Sugibara Infantry Brigade chasing after us! Specific mastery, you kid is ready to prepare! ”。
Ma Wenhai nodded and said, "Yes, head of the regiment, I understand!" ”。
The operation of luring the enemy is already commonplace for the commanders of all units of the new regiment, and I believe that Ma Wenhai will deploy it very well.
And Li Yunlong continued: "After we captured Yangxing and obtained the enemy's reinforcement in the city, we used a company of men and horses from Ma Wenhai's three battalions to continue to attack and advance in the direction of Huangzhai in the southwest, and dragged the Japanese Sugihara Infantry Brigade and the puppet army of the Japanese army in Xinkou, who were pursuing us in the rear. The main force is to detour to the east, go east along the mountain range to Mengcheng, after going south to Qingcheng, continue to go south over the mountain range, and go straight to Yangquan North City, and then attack Yangquan directly! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and others got up one after another, stood up and saluted!
Li Yunlong nodded, and immediately waved his hand, and the troops continued to march rapidly and rushed to Yangxing.
Yangxing is actually just a small county town, according to the Japanese army for the garrison of the county at this time, at most it is the scale of an infantry squad and a puppet army of several hundred people to jointly defend the city.
This amount of troops was a piece of cake for the more than 1,000 people commanded by Li Yunlong at this time.
"! Give it to me! "When the large army arrived at the city of Yangxing, I saw that the Japanese soldiers in Yangxing were very loosely guarded, after all, the Japanese soldiers in Yangxing probably wouldn't have thought that the new regiment would actually take a fancy to them here.
After Li Yunlong got Duan Peng and others to cut off the telephone line from Yangxing City to the outside world, he immediately issued an order to order the troops to attack Yangxing.
In the midst of the artillery fire, the Japanese army and the puppet army in Yangxing, with a total strength of only more than 200 people, were swarmed by Li Yunlong's army and killed them cleanly! The battle lasted less than eight minutes before it ended, and Yangxing regained it.
