Ten minutes or so later, Li Yunlong continued to lead his troops, under the guidance of a fellow guide who was familiar with the nearby terrain, and soon marched north from a gap in the Great Wall, along the mountain path to the Xiyang River Valley.

In the rear, following the traces left by Li Yunlong's main force, Matsui Ishine led the 3rd Division of the Devil with nearly 30,000 Japanese troops in rapid pursuit.

"Your Excellency, we are almost at the Pingsui Railway. Not far from the Pingsui Railway, it's time to arrive near the Great Wall! According to the reports of the pursuing reconnaissance unit ahead, traces left by a large number of enemy troops have been found. The main force of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong is likely to have continued to advance northward! It seems that Li Yunlong is going to take our troops to maneuver around! ”

The devils chasing behind Li Yunlong and others were also tired of chasing, and on the way to the pursuit, the chief of staff of the army, Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, found Matsui Shigen, who was resting on the side of the road, and said in a condensed voice.

Matsui Shigen was on the side of the marching road and looked at the soldiers of the 2nd Devil Division who were constantly pursuing and advancing, and frowned when he heard this, this Li Yunlong is too good at running, and his mobile ability is very strong!

I've been chasing for an hour or two, and I didn't catch up with the back of others! Moreover, there is still about half an hour away.

In fact, the distance along the way is not a straight line, and the distance between the main force of the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine and Li Yunlong's headquarters is actually between half an hour and an hour, or even longer!

As soon as he thought of this, Matsui Shigen immediately understood a little why Li Yunlong would attack the towns where the imperial army was stationed everywhere without fear, because the new main force under the command of Li Yunlong had a strong ability to maneuver. Especially in these mountainous areas such as Jin Province and Ji Province, if Li Yunlong specially selects mountainous areas for maneuvering and drags the elite troops of the Japanese army away, sooner or later he will be able to drag the elite troops of the Japanese army to death.

Thus, in the midst of maneuvering, find the right fighter and eat some or most of the devil pursuit troops.

"Li Yunlong is really not to be underestimated, no wonder even Yamamoto Kazuki's commando, the troops personally commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka, and the 2nd and 6th divisions, the two elite and most capable imperial divisions, were all annihilated by Li Yunlong, not for no reason!"

Matsui Shigen said with emotion: "Next, we must be cautious and keep a distance from the main force of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong. Let's chase after it like this, be careful, I don't believe that Li Yunlong with his six or seven thousand troops will always be operating outside his base area! ’。

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Ying Zuo Zhenzhao actually knew in his heart that it was imperative to pursue the main force of Li Yunlong's army, and there was no turning back at this time.

It's not just about the honor of the devil, but also because the Emperor has already reprimanded the power, and strictly ordered Matsui Shigen to solve Li Yunlong's main force as soon as possible.

At this time, Matsui Shigen had no way out.

Sure enough, I saw Matsui Shigen stand up, take a sip of the kettle from the hand of the devil guard beside him, and ordered fiercely: "Order all troops, speed up the march, we must catch up with the main force commanded by Li Yunlong!" Judging by the current situation, the main force of Li Yunlong's troops should continue to go north, and they need to deal with me in the vast area north of the Great Wall, which is simply ridiculous! Wheel mobility ability, the elite imperial army warriors of my 3rd Division were also lost to Li Yunlong's new regiment! ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency General, obey your orders!"

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao immediately paused heavily, and then sent someone to give an order.

Matsui Shigen gave an order, and the devil soldiers who kept advancing threw off their feet and chased north on the muddy mountain road.

Fortunately, the weather was clear and cloudless, and the reconnaissance planes that had taken off from Zhangjiakou and other places were also constantly conducting aerial reconnaissance, and a small number of the devil's reconnaissance planes discovered signs of the main force under the command of Li Yunlong and others.

Matsui Shigen on the ground judged from the way of pursuit that Li Yunlong should have led the main force of his troops out of the north of the Great Wall and made a covert advance towards the Yanghe River basin.

After Matsui Ishine and other devils led the main force of the 3rd Division to the woods where Li Yunlong and others were resting at the foot of the Great Wall, Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenzhao also found many footprints and traces of other armies resting in the woods where Li Yunlong and others were resting.

"Your Excellency, judging from the messy footprints and traces in this forest, it is bound to be the main force of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong, and it is preliminarily estimated that in this dense forest, there were at least at least more than 6,000 troops resting here! Moreover, it won't take more than an hour! ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao pointed to the foot of the Great Wall where they had arrived with a solemn expression, and said in a condensed voice in the large footprints and traces in the woods where Li Yunlong and the others had led their troops to rest here.

Matsui Ishone looked around, just as Kagesa Zhenaki analyzed, there were indeed traces of at least a large number of people and horses staying here in this forest not long ago. Judging by the dense footprints and traces in the woods, there were about six or seven thousand people.

"The aerial reconnaissance aircraft reported that a large number of soldiers and horses had also been found near the Great Wall! It seems that Li Yunlong should have crossed the Great Wall and gone north at this time! Kagesa-kun, map! ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao immediately waved his hand and beckoned a devil staff officer standing aside to take out the map from his briefcase and spread it out, and then Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenzhao, as well as several devil division commanders and brigade commanders of the 3rd Division around them, gathered around.

"Your Excellency, from our position, beyond the north of the Great Wall, is the Xiyang River Valley. It is estimated that at this time, the main force of Li Yunlong's department has arrived in the Xiyang River Valley, and the land north of the Great Wall is vast and sparsely populated, and it may be a little difficult for us to catch them! It's not easy to block this person and his subordinates! Kagesa Zhenzhao pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice.

Although the land of Suiyuan is still occupied by the Mongolian garrison army, Suiyuan, Chahar and other places controlled by the Mongolian garrison army are very large. Under the vast land and sparsely populated area, the area controlled by the Mongolian Xinjiang garrison army is large, but its garrison army has only one 26th division and an independent 2nd brigade under its jurisdiction, and the total strength is only about 30,000 people.

Previously, the Mongolian garrison was commanded by Okabe Naosaburo, and there were only more than 30,000 garrisons that needed to control Guisui, Liangcheng, Fengzhen and other places, and each place needed to be guarded.

Therefore, once Li Yunlong wants to make a mobile attack on the cities of Guisui, I am afraid that the Mongolian garrison will not be able to rescue him.

And with Suiyuan and other places being very large, it may be even more difficult for Matsui Shigen to lead the main force of the 3rd Division to capture Li Yunlong and his subordinates.

"If you can't block it, you have to block it! What's more, although Suiyuan and other places are vast and sparsely populated, we have the advantage of aerial reconnaissance. At present, the weather is very good, contact the imperial army airfields in Tianzhen and other places, and dispatch more reconnaissance planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance, sooner or later we will seize the location of Li Yunlong's main force! When the time comes, the main force of the division is catching up, and it is bound to be able to block Li Yunlong and his subordinates! Matsui slammed his fist on the map and commanded fiercely.

Ying Zuozhen said: "Haiyi, Your Excellency General, you understand your humble duties!" ”。
