Chapter 216: Ultimatum
At this time, under Chifeng Castle, Matsui Ishone, who had arrived at the castle for less than an hour, walked towards the city with a stinky face.
Along the way, the battlefield of gunpowder after the war is clearly visible. Outside the city, on the ground in the city, the ruins were littered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers who had been killed.
The farther you go into the city, the more you go down the streets. The Japanese weapons and equipment destroyed before the new regiment withdrew from Chifeng can be seen everywhere, and there are still many of them.
Matsui Shigen knew that the total destruction of Chifeng's defenders was certain.
"Li Yunlong's movements are really fast, Ying Zuojun." The deeper he walked into Chifeng City, the heavier Matsui Shigen became, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly at Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao, who was following him.
Seeing that Matsui Ishine was in a bad mood, Kage Satsu Zhen persuaded: "Your Excellency, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. As long as we pay attention next, it is not impossible to annihilate Li Yunlong's troops. The gods of heaven will bless us! Bless the Empire! ”。
"Hehe, borrowed the shadow Zuojun to say it bluntly."
Matsui Shigen waved his hand, and said casually that he was still in a bad mood.
"Click!!
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the side, and a devil staff officer rushed to Kage Sazhen Showa and Matsui Ishine and stood upright, "Report to Your Excellency the General, Chief of Staff." According to statistics from various places, the Imperial Army Garrison Brigade Micang Brigade defending Chifeng was completely wiped out, and the Imperial Cooperative Army that assisted in garrisoning Chifeng was also annihilated. Most of the weapons and equipment of our defenders in the city were taken away by the enemy, and those who could not be taken away were destroyed. ”
"Got it! Order the troops, collect the corpses of the Imperial soldiers who died in battle! Matsui Ishone waved his hand and ordered with a blank face.
"Hay, Your Excellency."
The devil staff officer who reported the casualties of the Chifeng Japanese puppet army paused, and then left to command the devil troops to clean up the bodies of the killed Chifeng Japanese puppet army soldiers!
Matsui Ishone and Kagesa Zhenzhao, who were not very interested, and Fujita Susumu, the commander of the 3rd Division, and other senior officers of the Japanese army patrolled Chifeng City one by one, and the few devil officers they saw were extremely angry.
When Matsui Shigen returned to the undamaged room in the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in Chifeng City as a temporary headquarters, the news of the loss of Wudan Town and the siege of Li Yunlong's troops in Linxi County soon reached Matsui Shigen's hands!
Holding the telegram urgently handed over by the communications staff officer in his hand, Matsui Ishine gradually became angry from the initial surprise.
"Eight Tooth Road! Li Yunlong, this is a humiliation of my Matsui Ishine Chilo! Eight grid tooth road! Matsui Ishine handed the telegram in his hand to the chief of staff of the army, Kagesa Zhenaki, and finally scolded in his mouth.
Ignoring Matsui Shigen's scolding, Kagesa Zhenzhao, who got the telegram, quickly read it, and had to admit that the new regiment under the command of Li Yunlong really went north from Chifeng, and attacked all the way, not south, but north to attack the weak area defended by the Japanese army.
This shows that Li Yunlong is not immersed in the achievements of annihilating an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Japanese army and recovering an important town. Instead, they quickly moved north and continued to widen the distance between themselves and the Japanese troops under the command of Matsui Ishone.
At this time, even Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenzhao had confirmed that Li Yunlong's troops were besieging Linxi County, but they were already more than two hundred kilometers away from the other party, which was a bit too far, and I am afraid that there was nothing to be done! Number Seven
"Your Excellency, the matter has come to this, and we have only arrived in Chifeng for about an hour. If you want to pursue the north at this time, I am afraid that it will take more than four hours of forced march to reach the county seat of Linxi. But the forced march of the 3rd Division could not have been so fast! Kage Zuo Zhenzhao said helplessly, looking at Matsui Ishigen's eyes, Shadow Sazhen Zhao knew that Matsui Ishine had plans to send troops north to pursue as soon as possible.
"Could it be that you are watching Lin Xi's imperial army annihilated? You must know that there are as many as 2,000 imperial troops in Linxi County, and there are hundreds of imperial troops, and if these horses want to defend to the death, they can hold on for at least an hour or two! Matsui Ishine said unwillingly.
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, Chifeng City can't even withstand it for an hour, and it is still supported by the city wall, and Li Yunlong quickly led his troops to conquer it. And there are not too many city walls in Linxi County to protect, and it is enough to hold it for an hour. ”。
Seeing that Ying Zuozhen was not optimistic, Lin Xi's devil defenders could hold on for an hour, although they had the heart to refute. But the fact that Chifeng was taken by Li Yunlong in less than an hour has already let Matsui Shigen know that what Kagezo Zhenzhao said is not much different.
"Linxi's imperial army has asked us for reinforcements, tactical guidance!" Matsui Ishine said with a solemn look in his eyes!
"Your Excellency, it's better than this!"
Ying Zuo Zhenzhao thought about it and said: "You can first order the aviation fighters that are already in the air to quickly go north, support the imperial army defenders of Linxi to hold the city, and strictly order the imperial army of Linxi to hold on and wait for help!" On the other hand, we can concentrate all the nearby towns, and all the horses in the stronghold where the Imperial Army is stationed will first send a cavalry and march north to help Hattori Musashi. ”。
Matsui Ishone's eyes lit up when he heard this, although there were still more than 14,000 devils in the rest of the 3rd Division, most of them were infantry, engineers and other troops.
But there are still some cavalry units in it, plus the area near Chifeng is controlled by the Japanese army, and there are also some cavalry units. If you concentrate on it, you should be able to do a lot of things.
"Kage-kun's suggestion is very good!"
Matsui Ishine thought about it, and there was only this way at the moment.
If Li Yunlong is not entangled in Linxi County in time, once the other party conquers the northwest of Linxi and enters the Sukexilu Mountain, Matsui Shigen really only has a truce!
"Good!"
Matsui Shigen clapped his hands and shouted: "Shadow Zuojun, you immediately gather all the cavalry in the rest of the 3rd Division, and in addition, concentrate all the imperial army war horses in the towns and local strongholds within thirty miles of Chifeng within the radius of Chifeng. Must be done within an hour! ”。
"Hai, Your Excellency the General, obey your orders!"
Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao paused heavily, and then walked away to deal with it.
Matsui Ishine then beckoned a devil confidential staff officer and ordered him: "Record order: telegram order Linxi garrison captain Hattori Musashi to lead his troops to hold on to Linxi County and wait for reinforcements!" The cavalry troops went north for about an hour, and ordered them to stand by for reinforcements. Contact the formation of air fighters and ask them to speed up their speed and fly north to the sky above the county town of Linxi to carry out a fierce bombardment of Li Yunlong's troops attacking the county seat, and cooperate with the defenders of the county town to defend the city. Send it now! ”。
"Hay, Your Excellency."
The secret staff officer of the devil immediately paused his head, turned around and left after recording the order, and supervised the signal corps to send the order.
At this time, Li Yunlong, who had already completed the encirclement and siege preparations for Linxi County, once again asked people to give an ultimatum to persuade the Japanese troops defending the city to surrender, but he still did not get a response.
