Li Yunlong nodded when he heard this, Maojiasoo Town is the only way to go north to Datong, and it is on the side of the Tongpu Railway.

Masuda Jiantai jumped out of the independent brigade's roundabout outflanking here in the Kouquan River in time and retreated north to Maojiasoo Town, obviously because he wanted to continue to fight in this town and hold on to waiting for help.

What's more, some soldiers of the Independent Brigade who are familiar with Maojiasoo Town report that the population of Maojiasoo Town is only more than 10,000 people, but there are still many buildings in the town. The Masuda United withdrew here, relying on Maojiasoo Town to hold on and wait for reinforcements, and was completely able to block the independent brigade from going north.

Even if the Independent Brigade surrounded Maojiasoo Town and did not fight, it could directly go north to Datong to attack. However, with such a devil army with nearly 2,000 Japanese troops in the rear, it was impossible for Li Yunlong to rest assured that he would bypass Maojiasoo Town and go north to attack the devils in Datong.

Therefore, the remnants of the Japanese army under the Masuda Jiantai Office in Maojiasoo Town must be resolved.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of time, and the night is not conducive to the Japanese bombing. What's more, at this time, there was rain and fog at night, and it was impossible for the bombers and fighters of the little devils to carry out accurate bombing of the independent brigade troops on the ground.

"The Japanese army under Masuda Jiantai is already less than 2,000, even if there are more than 2,000 troops to retreat to Maojiasoo Town. We now have 8,000 men and horses, and the cavalry is marching northward, encircling the town of Maojiasoap and storming. Coupled with the artillery battalion's artillery fire, I believe that in an hour, or even about half an hour, it should be able to take Maojiasoo Town. ”

Li Yunlong waved his hand arrogantly, and said with a sneer: "All troops are assembled and quickly go north!" ”。

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The crowd responded.

At the right time, Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third regiment, said loudly: "Brigade commander, what should I do with the Kouquan River Railway Bridge?" Send troops to stay? ”。

"Made, I almost forgot about it! Da Biao, what do you say? Li Yunlong patted his head and said as if he had suddenly realized.

Zhang Dabiao quickly said: "Brigade commander, we are fighting in a mobile operation this time. It was useless to leave the troops to guard the railway bridge, and Okabe Naosaburo secretly transferred a brigade of more than 10,000 Japanese military trains to the north from the front line of Nakajo Mountain, which was to copy our back road! And we took Maojiasoo Town, attacked Datong, and attacked Datong. The division of troops to stay here at the Kouquan River Railway Bridge is a bit unbearable. What's more, the devil's reinforcements must also pass through here. ”。

"I think, blow up the Kouquan River railway bridge!"

Without waiting for Li Yunlong to speak, among the commanders and fighters who had not yet left, Shen Qun, the commander of the second regiment, said loudly: "Isn't this a bit of a pity? After all, the Kouquan River Railway Bridge will be used when we get rid of the little devils in the future! ”。

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said: "We just destroyed some of the Kouquan River Railway Bridge, not completely blown up!" As long as the railway bridge can be damaged for a while, at least it will take time for the Japanese army to repair the railway bridge over the Kouquan River and transport reinforcements to the north. Even if the devil reinforcements want to build a bridge to cross the river, it will be difficult. After all, now that the river is soaring, it is impossible for the devil to cross the river north soon, and can only pass the railway bridge of the Kouquan River. And we just blew up some, not safely. And when we capture Datong and recover it, we will have to leave sooner or later, and the Japanese army will have to repair the railway bridge later, so we don't have to worry, hehehe. ”。

When Shen Qun and the others heard this, they immediately thought of this, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Good! Duan Peng, your special operations battalion is proficient in explosives, so act immediately. Before destroying the general structure of the Kouquan River railway bridge, a section was blown up, so that the transported trains could not pass through the railway bridge immediately. Li Yunlong also nodded, and then instructed Duan Peng, the commander of the special operations battalion. 520

Duan Peng smiled and saluted: "Hey, hey, brigade commander, I promise to complete the task!" ”。

"Okay, let's do it!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and then said to Zhang Dabiao and the others: "Others, clean up the battlefield immediately, and the troops will assemble and set off in five minutes!" The cavalry battalion can now go first! ”。

"Yes, Brigadier General!" Sun Desheng also stood up and saluted, while the others dispersed one after another.

Five minutes passed quickly, and during this time, Duan Peng personally deployed the members of the special combat team, blasted a section of the Kouquan River railway bridge, and then returned to the team to go north with the large army.

When Li Yunlong led the main force to chase the Masuda Wing to Maojiasoo Town, the urgent telegram sent by the old devil Masuda Jiantai to Miyano Taro, chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan, when he was evacuating from the area of the Kouquan River, had been translated by the devil.

Jino Okada, a staff officer of the Japanese army on duty, carefully woke up Taro Miyano, who was on the lounge chair in the lounge on the side of the military headquarters, "Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" 313 Wing Emergency! 313 Wing Emergency! ”

Taro Miyano, who was a little drowsy, didn't hear clearly for the first time, and then half a minute later, the old devil jumped up from the recliner all of a sudden.

Taking the telegram from Okada Jino's hand, the old devil looked at it with a frown, the hand holding the telegram was visibly clenched, and Okada Jino on the side was trembling.

"Eight grid tooth road, Masuda Kentai this waste! Waste the trust of the military department in him! ”

Seeing the content of the telegram, it was clearly written that the blocking position of the 313th Wing on the north bank of the Kouquan River had been lost, and the railway bridge over the Kouquan River had been occupied by the Independent Brigade.

The staff officer on duty on one side, Okada Jino, did not dare to talk, and then followed Miyano Taro to the hall of the military headquarters command room.

At this time, in the hall of the military headquarters of the First Army of the Devils, there were more than a dozen Devil staff officers who were busy on duty to do things, and they were constantly dealing with various military situations of the Japanese army on the Zhongtiao Mountain front.

"The remnants of Masuda Jiantai have retreated to Maojiasoo Town, which is the last line of defense for the independent brigade under Datong City! At this time, it is too late to transfer troops from Fengzhen, Tianzhen, Gaoyang and other places to the south! What's more, there are not many imperial troops stationed in these places, and once they are all sent to reinforce the Datong defenders, these places will also be captured by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army. This will also have a significant impact on our railway line from Zhangjiakou to Datong! It's hard to take care of one or the other! ”

Taro Miyano looked at the huge map of North China laid out by the staff officer of the military department, and after looking at it for a while, he muttered to himself with a gloomy face.

The staff officer on duty of Okada Jino hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Chief of Staff, after the Masuda Wing withdrew to Maojiasoo Town, he reported that he had led the rest of his troops to retreat to Maojiasoo Town and built a large number of fortifications. However, the artillery strength of the independent brigade is too strong, and I am afraid that it will only be able to hold out here for half an hour to an hour. What do we do now? ”。

"The matter has come to this point, and all the garrisons from Fengzhen, Zuoyun, and Gaoyang have been drawn to reinforce the Datong defenders, and there is not much help! Ordered Masuda Jiantai to hold on to Maojiasoo Town for an hour and a half! When a man dies, he must hold on. Send a message to the Datong defenders and inform them that they should strengthen the city defenses and prepare to meet the siege of the Independent Brigade! Taro Miyano waved his hand to Jiro Okada.
