When Li Yunlong commanded all his troops to prepare for a night attack on the city, the Japanese defenders in Datong City were unaware that there was already a bold Eighth Route Army outside the city ready to attack Datong unscrupulously.

In Datong City, there are not many people shopping on the streets, and the market is really not very lively. On the one hand, the new regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, has recently made maneuvers to attack the Japanese garrisons in various parts of Jin Province, causing the devils of the Japanese occupation forces in various places to have no peace at all times.

On the other hand, it is in the winter at this time, the weather is cold, the wind and snow are continuous, the people of Datong are hiding at home to heat the kang, who the hell is going out to shop at night on a cold day?

Therefore, not only are there not many people on the streets in Datong City, but most of the devil soldiers of the Japanese army under the 40th Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army defending Datong City took advantage of the inspection of their respective commanders to hide in the city gate building at the head of the city, as well as the hidden soldiers behind the city wall to roast the fire to avoid the cold.

In the inner city of Datong, in the division headquarters of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, the division commander Ryosuke Tsuya and the chief of staff of the division, Tsutsuki Bujia Gui Dasa, were talking in the roasting fire of Youzai.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the forces of Seishiro Itagaki's two wings have now advanced to the south of San'in and are attacking westward to pursue Li Yunlong's headquarters. Division commander, look, will this guy Seishiro Itagaki be able to catch Li Yunlong this time? Holding his hands on the embankment of the brazier, he smiled at the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Tsuya.

Ryosuke Tsuya smiled when he heard this, "It depends on the ability of Itagaki Seishiro, I heard that he was annihilated by Li Yunlong's troops of the Shina Army near Zhaojiayu, a cavalry squadron, and he also lost part of the infantry, and the casualties were very large. It's simply lost the honor of the emperor, and now he is chasing after him, and he doesn't see Li Yunlong's department. I can't catch Li Yunlong. ”。

"The division commander thinks so highly of Li Yunlong?" Di Bujia raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in surprise.

Although Ryosuke Takuya despised the squadron, for Ryosuke Suke, who had already dealt with the Eighth Route Army, these Eighth Route Army troops who did not fight hard with them were really difficult.

"Not bad!"

Ryosuke Gu roasted the fire, rubbed his hands and said, "Li Yunlong, this person has now ambushed the three princes of the empire, especially after ambushing His Royal Highness Prince Zairen of the Imperial Marshal Xianyuan Palace between Niangziguan and Jingcheng, this person is extremely difficult. What's more, Seishiro Itagaki rushed to lead his troops and commanded a large army to pursue without thoroughly understanding the situation of the new regiment, wouldn't it be useless? Hum! ”。

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Li Yunlong's troops are developing very rapidly now, especially since their base has been established in the depths of Heng Mountain. Recently, a battle report was sent from the Hengshan front, and His Excellency Commander Shinozuka mobilized two infantry brigades and part of the Imperial Allied Army, concentrated his troops, and under the cover of artillery bombardment of more than 10 infantry guns, he stormed the Jinlongxia Gorge and valley mouth, the gateway point of the new regiment of Hengshan Base Area. Now, too, the fighting there has turned into a war of attrition. Di Bujia Gui Dazuo mentioned the battle report of the Japanese army attacking the new regiment base in the direction of Hengshan, and his tone was extremely surprised.

Ryosuke Sneered: "To deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, it is really unnecessary to attack in large forces. In my opinion, it is best to be able to form an elite unit that is good at mountain guerrilla warfare, so that it can be effective against the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which are good at mountain guerrilla warfare. Otherwise, if the army is mobilized to suppress, if the people leave, the imperial army will not be able to catch it. ”。

Suddenly, Di Bujia Gui Dazuo smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, now Li Yunlong's subordinates are fighting fiercely with Qian Bojun's troops in Lijia Town, the territory of the Jin Sui Army near Shuocheng. Maybe Seishiro Itagaki can pick up the leak! ”。

"Maybe, but recently our 10th Division has been transferred a lot of troops south to Wuhan to reinforce the Guangdong Province. I am really worried that the strength of the Empire may have reached a critical moment! It's a pity that the recruits we recruit need time to train! Ryosuke Takuya suddenly said thoughtlessly.

Di Bujia Gui Dazuo suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, at present, there is only one wing of imperial warriors left in Datong City to guard the city, if the squadron learns that Datong is attacking Datong, our troops may be a little insufficient!" ”。

However, hearing Tsutsumi's worries, Ryosuke Tsuya laughed and said, "Tsutsumi-kun, you're too worried." The defense of Datong City is strong and impregnable, plus we also have a wing of the imperial army in the city, and the artillery unit also has an artillery brigade, with eight artillery pieces, countless light and heavy machine guns, as well as mortars, grenadiers and other light artillery support, with the strength of the Datong city wall, blocking the siege of more than 100,000 squadrons for a month, we can hold it. What's more, Di Bujun, do you think there are still elite troops in the vicinity of Datong who will attack Datong like death? ”。

"This is also true, division commander, haha, it can be regarded as a despicable Meng Lang is too much!" Di Bujia Gui Dazuo also laughed, how could he have this speechless thought?

Subsequently, the two old devils continued to chat in the division headquarters, not knowing at all that outside the West Gate of Datong at this time, there was already an elite Eighth Route Army unit that was ready to boldly attack Datong City.

At this time, 500 meters outside the Qingyuan Gate of Datong, according to Li Yunlong's order, part of the troops were used as a feint outside the southern, eastern and northern cities of Datong. The rest of the troops were all arranged by Li Yunlong to prepare for a surprise attack outside the Qingyuan Gate of Datong, and Duan Peng's special combat team had also prepared the information, taking advantage of the night, the special combat team approached the west gate of Datong step by step with good tactics.

Since there was no gate outside the West Gate of Datong, Duan Peng commanded the soldiers of the special combat team to touch the city walls on both sides of the West Gate at night and lurk under them.

At the head of the West Gate, the searchlights set up by the Japanese army on the head of the city shone back and forth outside the city. It's just that it may be that since the Japanese army captured Datong, there has been no squadron attacking Datong for a long time. After all, the towns around Datong have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, so the Japanese defense in Datong City is actually very lax.

The extent to which the searchlights swept back and forth outside the city was not very frequent, otherwise even if Duan Peng and the others were good, it would be really difficult to get close to the city gate.

"Captain, the explosives bags are all set! Nearly 20 bundles of explosives, even if there are huge rocks behind the city gate, they can blow them up! When the explosives package was stacked under the city gate of the West Gate, a member of the special combat team said to Duan Peng.
