Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Special mother, is it really only one brigade strength?" What is the actual strength of troops? ”。

The communications soldier who came to report the situation said: "Regiment commander, according to the secret telegram of our army's intelligence officers in Datong City: The devil's Gugu Division in the city now has only one 8th brigade headquarters, and the 39th and 40th wings under its jurisdiction, with a total strength of more than 8,300 people. If we add part of the defenders of the Imperial Allied Army and a police force, the total strength can reach more than 9,000 people. Its fortifications are complete, and the gates of the four sides are heavily guarded by Japanese troops, so if we want to sneak attack Datong, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”。

At this time, Li Yunlong gathered Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others around him, and they talked about it one after another. There are too many devil defenders in Datong, two wings, plus part of the Imperial Association Army and the puppet police force, there are more than 9,000 people. Such a big pile of enemy troops, and still occupy a big city to hold on, is simply a hedgehog, once bitten down, a proper mouth full of blood!

So, the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, was the first to speak: "Regiment commander, we only have some mortars in our hands now, which can be regarded as heavy firepower. Once you attack Datong, if you can't evacuate in time, you will be entangled by devils, and it will be troublesome. What to do? ”。 Starting

"Yes, Captain, I think so! Let's not attack Datong! We only have 1,200 people, this point of men and horses attack Datong, if we don't run away in time, Datong's devils will go out to entangle us, and the Itagaki Seishiro department behind will be in big trouble to catch up! He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said with palpitations, looking very worried.

Datong is Datong, not a small city like Ping'an County. There were too many Japanese troops in the city, and they were heavily defended, and they were in very convenient conditions. And Li Yunlong and others led their troops to mobile combat, and once the supply of food, grass and ammunition was cut off, it would really be a death row prisoner.

Really determined the number of Japanese troops in Datong City, everyone felt that it was better not to attack Datong, lest the devils attack heavily and entangle them.

Just as Li Yunlong was about to reply to everyone, Duan Peng rushed back from the rear and reported to Li Yunlong the latest situation of the pursuit of the Japanese army under Itagaki Seishiro in the rear.

"Captain, the situation is not good. The large Japanese army under the command of Seishiro Itagaki had already chased after us less than 15 minutes away, and the soldiers who reconnoitred behind the palace reported that Seishiro Itagaki had also organized a small Japanese army with good foot strength, with more than 400 people, to catch up at least five minutes ahead of the large army of devils. Duan Peng hurriedly reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said, "Made, that means that Itagaki Seishiro's troops, one of which is a four-hundred-man devil army, are already less than ten minutes away from us?" ”。

"Not bad! Head! ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand and motioned for Duan Peng to continue to send people to investigate the latest movements of Itagaki Seishiro's department in the rear.

Duan Peng heard the words and left, while Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong, who was protecting him, to spread out the military map in the document bag behind him and place it on the snowy ground, so that everyone could gather together.

"Brothers, things have changed a little. I didn't expect Itagaki Seishiro to chase after him so quickly, our intention to attack Datong may have made Itagaki Seishiro speed up to pursue us! It is estimated that the devils of Datong may also be dispatched at this time! Li Yunlong pointed to Datong City on the map and said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the communications soldiers of the army came back again, saluted Li Yunlong, and hurriedly reported: "Report to the regiment commander, the intelligence personnel of our army in Datong City sent an urgent telegram: The 3rd Wing of the 8th Brigade of the Jinggu Division in the city suddenly went out of the city from the east gate in a big way, and pressed towards the mountain road that mainly leads to Datong City to the east, and the small road is pressing!" ”。

"Not good, regimental commander, the Japanese troops in Datong City must have known the news of our arrival near Datong. This is to press, and the Japanese army cooperating with Seishiro Itagaki will attack us on both sides! It is no longer possible to attack Datong! Head! What to do? Zhang Dabiao exclaimed, this situation is already obvious, and there is no time to attack Datong.

Li Yunlong nodded, and agreed with Zhang Dabiao's meaning, attacking Datong at this time was simply asking for his own death. However, it was no longer possible for the troops to retreat, and Seishiro Itagaki's two Japanese wings were pursuing their own side.

"If you can't attack Datong, then don't fight. Our new regiment has been active in Shanxi for many years, and the soldiers' ability to attack fortified positions may not be as good as the elite units of the Japanese army's front-line field divisions. But our foot strength, our ability to march quickly in the wilderness, do not have to be weak at all. At present, in the Hengshan base area, Zhao Gang and the others who stayed in the Hengshan base area also encountered an attack by the Japanese army, and the situation was difficult. At this time, it is necessary to attract the elite troops of the Japanese army in the direction of Seishiro Itagaki and Datong, and not to give Yoshio Shinozuka the opportunity to transfer these elite troops south to Hengshan and attack our base area. Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said. Starting

He Yongjie said loudly: "Regiment leader, do you mean to withdraw?" It's just that we have withdrawn from the Datong range, where is the direction of the rapid march of the troops? ”。

"Our goal is to hold back Seishiro Itagaki's two Japanese wings, and it would be even better if the devils of Datong were dispatched to participate in the pursuit of us! Shanxi is the territory of our Chinese army, although most of the area has been occupied by devils at this time. But most of the people are supportive of us. Therefore, there is still a supply of grain and grass to provide us along the mobile combat line. So after the troops withdrew from Datong, I meant to turn to the north and attack the Gushan City north of Datong, and then, the troops continued to march north, until the victory pass, and after leaving the Great Wall, they entered Fengzhen! What do you guys think? Li Yunlong pointed to the map of Shanxi with his right hand, swam back and forth, pointed and analyzed.

Everyone looked at the map and looked down in thought.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao and others nodded and agreed.

"Okay, the brothers agree that that's fine! Order the troops, secretly evacuate the Datong area, detour the path to the north, march north along the royal river, and attack Gushan City directly! Li Yunlong waved his hand and ordered Zhang Dabiao and other military commanders.

Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others got up one after another and said: "Yes, regiment leader!" Then he went back and beckoned the troops to assemble and prepare to go. Fastest update on PC:/

And Li Yunlong said to Duan Peng on the side: "Duan Peng, you quickly take the special combat team one step ahead of the main force, and ride a war horse to the lonely mountain to investigate the situation of the enemy army in the city." ”。

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission!" Duan Peng saluted and stood on the right path.

"Okay, let's go!" Li Yunlong just waved his hand and said to Duan Peng.

Duan Peng also saluted and rushed away, and Li Yunlong then commanded the large army to withdraw from the Datong range, and marched north along the Yuhe River, approaching Gushan City.
