When Li Yunlong led his troops to continue the rapid march towards Awl Mountain, Matsui Shigen also led the rest of the 3rd Division's main force of more than 14,000 people to finally arrive in Weijiatun, three miles north of the main peak of Baicha Mountain.

As far as the eye can see, most of the buildings in Weijiatun Tunzi have turned into piles of ruins and broken walls in the midst of artillery fire.

Among the ruins, there are corpses of little devil soldiers everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the corpses are all over the field!

"Your Excellency, General, are all Imperial soldiers of the 5th Brigade, all of them died in battle, and none of them survived! We have found the bodies of the 5th Brigade Commander Ichiro Katayama, the Chief of Staff Kenjiro Saito, and the 5th Brigade Commander of the 6th Infantry Wing Takeo Sato, the 68th Infantry Wing Commander Jiro Ueno, and other officers at all levels! ”

With a sigh, Kagesa Zhenzhao, who stepped on the rubble of the ruins and walked to Matsui Ishone, reported in a low voice.

Matsui Ishone's face was gloomy, his right hand was clenched, and he immediately smashed his fist on the wall of the building next to him.

"Bang !!"

"Your Excellency, Calm Your Anger!" Ying Zuozhen Zhao smiled bitterly and whispered helplessly.

Matsui Shigen gritted his teeth and said: "Bage Yalu, Li Yunlong slapped me Matsui Shigen hard!" If you don't kill this person, it will be difficult to control it in the future! ”。

The 5th Brigade is the main brigade of the 3rd Division, and it has made great achievements, and in the past, it has also defeated the resistance of the main force of the regular army of the Nationalist Army several divisions head-on at one time.

Unexpectedly, not long after Matsui Ishine was in his hands, the whole army was wiped out, and the loss was incalculable, and for the dignity of Matsui Ishine, it was a lot of salt.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao nodded, but just said loudly: "Your Excellency, the main force of the division is now only more than 17,000 people, and there is no news from the 4th Cavalry Brigade yet!" Are we here in Weijiatun now, do we rest and recuperate, and by the way, pick up the imperial soldiers of the 5th Brigade who died in battle? ”。

"Order the soldiers to rest for ten minutes, and let the 29th Brigade leave a squadron to continue to clean up the Imperial warriors of the 5th Brigade who died here in Weijiatun. Confidential staff, get the map! When Matsui Shigen heard this, he just waved his hand and motioned to a devil confidential staff officer who was following him at any time to take out the map and spread it out.

Then, the old devil Matsui Shigen pointed to the map and said: "According to the reply sent by the 4th Cavalry Brigade ten minutes ago, they are chasing the traces left by Li Yunlong's army and are chasing south along the Xing'anling Mountains. Ying Zuojun, it seems that Li Yunlong is directing his troops to move south! ”。

However, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, who had already learned Li Yunlong's cunning, stroked his mustache and said gloomily: "Your Excellency, General, according to Li Yunlong's cunning characteristics, can they leave traces on the ground of the army's southward movement?" I feel that something is wrong, not to mention that there is a commitment to the south, and there is a large garrison of our imperial army in Luanping. It is impossible for Li Yunlong not to know that once he leads his troops south, he will be equipped with the attack of our imperial army garrisons in Chifeng, Chengde and other big cities! ”。

"Ying Zuojun, do you mean that Li Yunlong's main force did not go south?"

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't have an absolute analysis, but just said in a condensed voice: "I don't rule out this possibility!" In terms of Li Yunlong's temperament, this person should avoid the pursuit of the 4th Brigade of our cavalry at this time, and hide in the Xing'anling Mountains to rest! They ate more than 10,000 people of the 5th Brigade here in Weijiatun, and their own casualties and physical exertion would be very large. Going south can only be attacked by the 4th Cavalry Brigade and the imperial army in Chengde, Chifeng and other cities from the north and south, which is very unwise. ”。

Looking at the map, Matsui Ishine felt a little uneasy.

According to Kagesa Zhenzhao's analysis, there is indeed this possibility.

And once the 4th Cavalry Brigade is lured south by Li Yunlong's deliberate leakage, then the main infantry force here will be separated from the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

At that time, facing Li Yunlong's troops, without cavalry containment, the battle was a bit difficult to fight.

You must know that the headquarters of the new regiment is good at mountain warfare, and it is very skillful in mobile combat in the mountains!

Although Matsui Shigen believed that the infantry of the 3rd Division would not be under pressure to face Li Yunlong's headquarters head-on, it was just that the 5th Brigade was defeated and sunk in Weijiatun, which already made Matsui Shigen very afraid of the combat power of the new regiment.

After all, it's obvious, and there's no way to ignore it.

"How far are we from the 4th Cavalry Brigade now?" Matsui Ishone said suddenly.

Ying Zuozhen was stunned when he heard this, but he still quickly replied: "Your Excellency, General, it should be an hour away!".

"What, an hour away?" Matsui Ishine was taken aback when he heard this, has this been such a long distance?

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said helplessly: "Your Excellency, it took us too much time to rush to Weijiatun, and the speed of the army in the mountains cannot be mentioned quickly. Along the way, there are some sections of the road that are difficult to walk, the ground is muddy, and the time spent is not the same as the time on the map. ”。

Matsui Ishone's face was ugly, and in this case, the 4th Cavalry Brigade would be separated from the rest of the 3rd Division by an hour. This is not a good thing for Matsui Ishone!

What's more, as soon as he thought of Kagesa Zhenzhao's analysis, Matsui Ishone immediately pondered the map carefully.

"Ying Zuojun, is it possible for Li Yunlong to lure the 4th Cavalry Brigade to the south, then go east from the Xing'an Mountains, advance east along the Jinying River, and raid Chengde?" Matsui Shigen suddenly pointed to a place on the map and said in a condensed voice.

Ying Zuozhen's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, "Your Excellency General, it's really possible!" Chengde is the city of Rehe Province and has an important strategic location. Once Chengde is attacked by Li Yunlong's troops, it is really possible to lose it. If Chengde is lost, the whole province will inevitably shake! ”

Not only will the whole province inevitably shake, but if Chengde is lost, the responsibility will also be in a part of Matsui Shigen.

When the time comes, the War Department of the Japanese State will inevitably blame Matsui Shigen, after all, you led the 3rd Division with nearly 30,000 people to chase the main force of Li Yunlong's department, which was less than 10,000, and you were actually tricked by others to sneak attack Chengde, and you were ashamed to death.

"Immediately send a report to the imperial army in Chengde and ask them to pay attention to the defense of the city. Close the gates and watch the defense! Matsui Shigen immediately waved his hand at the devil confidential staff officer on the side.

At this time, Kagezo Zhenzhao said: "Your Excellency, what should we do now?" Standing still? ”。

"The enemy situation is unknown, and it is easy for Li Yunlong to hide in the forests of the Xing'anling Mountains. After all, the Xing'anling Mountains are so vast that it is too easy to hide a group of less than 10,000 men and horses in the mountains. Telegraphed to the 4th Cavalry Brigade and asked them to send a vanguard cavalry unit to catch up with it desperately, and fight with Li Yunlong's so-called main force heading south to see if it was true or false. When the time comes, we'll make a decision! ”

Matsui Ishone thought about it and finally said so.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao added: "Your Excellency, the post suggests that you can also contact the enclosure, Zhang San Battalion, Tang San Battalion, as well as the imperial army troops stationed in Pingquan and Luanping to strengthen the guard, once it is found that Li Yunlong's main force is really going south, immediately dispatch to establish a blockade line to stop the main force of Li Yunlong's department." ”。

"Yo Xi, Shadow Zuojun has thought about it well, so let's do it!"
