"Attack Luyi City?"

Li Yunlong said, his eyes staring at the map!

The location of Luyi is still very important, it connects the Central Plains Economic Zone, the Wanjiang Economic Zone and the Yangtze River Delta Zone.

Therefore, preliminary information shows that the defending enemy of Luyi is probably not weaker than the defending enemy of Bozhou!

Sure enough, Shen Qun, who was a little familiar with the situation in Luyi, said: "The population of Luyi is comparable to that of Tuocheng, with hundreds of thousands!" It connects Jiangnan and the Central Plains, and the devil is estimated to also have a heavy defense! ”。

"But the fighter planes that went south to attack Bozhou have been lost, and it is impossible for us to continue to move south to Bozhou at the risk of being dragged in Bozhou by the enemy! The nearest Guide is far away, Luyi is south of Tuocheng, on the edge of the Vortex River, which is suitable for us to attack! Zhang Dabiao pointed to the map!

Li Yunlong stared at the map and pondered for a while, thought about it and then said finally: "Don't fight Bozhou, turn to attack Luyi!" As for the Luyi defenders, there will not be a wing at most. Signal Soldiers! ”。

"Divisional Commander!" The signal corps responded and stood the right path.

Li Yunlong immediately said: "Send a report to Duan Peng and ask them to withdraw immediately!" You don't need to go back to Tuocheng, go straight north to Luyi! Reconnoiter the situation of the defenders in Luyi! Keep in touch with Command! ”。

"Yes, Commander!" The signal soldier left to send a report!

Afterwards, Li Yunlong stood up and said to the commanders and fighters: "Hurry up, big guy, all the staff will evacuate Tuocheng in ten minutes, and attack and advance south to Luyi in concealment!" ”。

"Understood, Commander!" Zhang Dabiao and the others paused heavily.

Li Yunlong nodded and motioned for everyone to disperse and prepare.

…….

At this time, Kaifeng City!

In the headquarters of the 35th Devil's Division, Genguchi Isshin and Chief of Staff Aoto Jitaro were staring at the huge map, carefully studying the next attack trajectory of the main cavalry under the command of Li Yunlong.

It's just that Li Yunlong's cavalry team is mainly in the control area of the devils in Henan Province, and they will attack the surrounding areas of the Longhai line when they have the opportunity to cut off the supply line of the devil's Longhai line.

As for cutting off the Longhai Line and influencing the supply of the devils attacking in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, it can be regarded as a target for Li Yunlong to fight southward!

The most important thing is to attract Tian Junliu's attention to Henan Province to buy time for the base area to recover its strength and recuperate.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the front army headquarters is calling!"

At this time, a voice sounded, it was the devil staff officer of the division's communications office who said immediately!

Jitaro Aoto took the telegram handed over by the communications staff officer and read it for a while, and then handed it to the division commander Genguchi Ichiko!

"Division commander, Your Excellency the General once again strictly orders us to return to your command when the two reinforced cavalry brigades arrive. Be sure to annihilate the main force of the enemy's cavalry heading south, and be sure to confirm whether Li Yunlong is in the cavalry team heading south. ”

After reading it wholeheartedly, Genguchi smiled bitterly: "This is a bit difficult!" The other party captured Tuocheng, and once it went south to attack Bozhou at this time, it would be far away from us! ”。

"Knock Knock Knock !!"

Suddenly, a table clock placed in the headquarters of the 35th Division suddenly jingled, and the two old devils looked back at the same time to see that the hour hand had been executed at seven o'clock in the evening!

"Division commander, it's seven o'clock!"

Genguchi turned his head and looked outside the command department, and sure enough, it was already dark!

"The aviation fighters and bombers that took off from Xuzhou, it is estimated that the night bombing effect will not be very large! Perhaps, at this time, the main force of the enemy's cavalry has withdrawn from Tuocheng and moved south to attack Bozhou! ”

Aoto Jitaro said: "The division commander is relieved, at least two hours Bozhou will be safe." What's more, the imperial army garrisons stationed in Bengbu and Fengyang have successively sent troops north to reinforce Bozhou. At that time, the Bozhou garrison is estimated to be as high as 10,000, and it should not be a problem to hold Bozhou to block the enemy cavalry from moving south to Fengyang. ”。

"Hmmm! Send another telegram to the defenders of Bozhou, and ask them to pay attention to strengthening the city defense! Fight the enemy attack! ”

Yuankou condensed and said, I can't be careless!

Aoto Jitaro nodded and said, "Yes, division commander!" Then, Jitaro Aoto waved his hand and asked the devil communication staff officer next to him to send a report immediately.

"Where is the cavalry brigade to reinforce us now?" Genguchi pointed to the map and said.

Aoto Jitaro said: "According to the time, it should be about to arrive in Changyuan City!" Once you arrive at Changyuan City, and then you are not far from Fengqiu, Chenqiao Town should not be far away! ”。

"Send a message to the commanders of the reinforced cavalry brigades, and let them show the bravery of the empire and speed up the reinforcements south! 15,000 enemy cavalry, active in the eastern and southern Henan areas, for the ongoing Zhongtiao Mountain War in the empire, the supply line affecting the Longhai line is very huge. Their cavalry is our best way to deal with the enemy's cavalry. Yuankou said in a solemn tone, the cavalry only had cavalry to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that the 35th Division had only one cavalry wing, there would really be too few cavalry, and the arrogant source would not have asked for reinforcements from above.

At the end of the day, it's a shameful thing.

"I have sent a report to the two commanders of the reinforcement cavalry brigade for the third time, and it is estimated that they will speed up the reinforcement of us according to the order of His Excellency the General!" Jitaro Aoto spoke up.

Yuankou said wholeheartedly: "Yo Xi, the chief of staff has worked hard!" ”。

"For the sake of the empire, what is the hard work of lowly duties? Your Excellency, Division Commander! Aoto Jitaro paused.

Genguchi nodded with satisfaction, worthy of being a confidant of his partner for many years!

Just time passed, three hours later!

In the headquarters of the 35th Division, after resting for an hour, Yuankou stayed in his division headquarters and commanded all units of the Japanese army to encircle and intercept the cavalry commanded by Li Yunlong at any time.

"The commander of the reporting division, the 15th Cavalry Brigade and the 16th Cavalry Brigade have arrived in Chenqiao Town and are heading towards Chenqiao River Port. The lowly post has arranged for the river defense fleet to meet the cavalry troops! It is estimated that we will be able to reach the South Shore area soon! ”

Seeing that Jitaro Aoto came to report on the situation of the latest reinforcements, Genguchi heard it wholeheartedly, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yoxi, that's good!"

Yuankou suddenly thought of something, and said, "What's the situation in the direction of Bozhou?" Has Bozhou been attacked by the main force of the enemy's cavalry? ”。

"The Bozhou defenders called in ten minutes, and there was no sign of a large number of enemy cavalry attacking outside Bozhou City!"

Hearing this, Genguchi frowned, this is a little wrong!

"How is that possible? According to the time, the other party should be about to hit Bozhou! Could it be that Li Yunlong's cavalry army is still expanding the city? What do the reconnaissance planes of the aviation say?" Genguchi always felt a little uneasy in his heart, got up and paced for a while, and then said!

"The reconnaissance plane reported that the city below Tuocheng was dead, as if it was under curfew! No ordinary people came out at night, and there were no signs of enemy activity on the ground! Jitaro Aoto said.

"Nani?"

Yuankou frowned and said, "Send a report to the reconnaissance plane immediately, let them show the heroism of the empire, and fly low to reconnoitre!" ”。

"Alright, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" Aoto Jitaro was a little helpless, although he could give orders, but it was possible for the air reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter in a reconnoitring manner, after all, flying low at night to reconnoiter was a bit of a self-inflicted death.

"The enemy situation is unknown, is the other party really expanding the city? There is no intention of going south to attack Bozhou?" Genguchi muttered in his heart!
