Chapter 341: Soldiers are in Laiyuan
In the woods on the west bank of the Shahe River between the two cities of Fuping and Quyang, Li Yunlong and the others who arrived on the west bank of the Shahe River have been hiding in a forest on the west bank for a long time.
"The regiment commander, I contacted the local guerrillas in Fuping City, according to my understanding, the Japanese troops in Fuping and Quyang have advanced westward to reinforce, and the devils and puppet troops in the two cities are less than 100 people respectively. Will we change our plans and take Fuping? In the woods, Duan Peng took a few soldiers of the special combat team, and after contacting the local guerrillas in Fuping from outside Fuping City to understand the situation, he rushed back and reported to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Although there are not many Japanese troops in Fuping, the devils in Fuping have already closed the city gate and defended the city. Although we can take Fuping, but the price will be that our whereabouts will be exposed, and the gains outweigh the losses! Order the brothers, prepare to cross the river, and then continue to turn northeast to Damao Mountain, cross the Tang River to the north to Laiyuan! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" Duan Peng said with a little pity, but Duan Peng was quickly relieved. After all, it was broad daylight at this time, although from Duan Peng's point of view, it would be easy to take Fuping, but if you expose your own whereabouts, the price is indeed a bit big.
Soon, under Li Yunlong's order, Duan Peng and others gathered and, under Li Yunlong's command, secretly crossed the Shahe River. The troops then turned to the northeast of Damao Mountain, and soon turned in the direction of the Tang River.
Just when Li Yunlong's small army turned towards Damao Mountain, Takakura Shotaro's adjutant Ida Soichiro had already led more than 100 Japanese cavalry to chase along the traces left by Li Yunlong and others to the vicinity of the Great Wall Ridge.
And Soichiro Ita chased along the traces, but it was actually a few soldiers sent by Li Yunlong who deliberately left false traces to attract them to pursue.
By the time Soichiro Ita found out that something was wrong, Soichiro Ida's more than 100 Japanese cavalry had already chased to the vicinity of the Great Wall Ridge. After chasing to the Great Wall Ridge, the bait warriors no longer deliberately left footprints, so that Soichiro Ita finally noticed that something was wrong.
At the western foot of the Great Wall Ridge, seeing the traces lost in a forest under the condition of snow on the ground, Ida Soichiro's eyes were solemn.
"Sir, things are not good! The traces of the Chinese army we are chasing have all disappeared! It looks like we've been diverted from the mountain, and this is the decoy troop! The main force of the Shina Army, which ambushed His Royal Highness the Prince, has already retreated in other directions! A ghost cavalryman who had rushed back from the woods in the direction where the footprints had disappeared turned over and dismounted, and reported to Soichiro Ida.
Soichiro Ida was already angry in his heart, and it was a shame that he was actually tricked by others!
"Baga Ya Road! Damn it! Soichiro Ita could only curse.
The more than 100 Japanese cavalry gathered around Soichiro Ita were all wilting, and what they had been chasing was the bait of the enemy, which was ridiculous.
At this time, a Japanese cavalryman rushed to Soichiro Ita from behind and said, "Sir, Your Excellency Shaozo has come up with the main force of infantry!" ”。
When Soichiro Ida heard this, he couldn't continue to be angry. I can only bite the bullet and rush to report the situation in front of Shotaro Takakura.
"Your Excellency Shaozuo, we chased us to a forest at the foot of the western foot of the Great Wall Ridge and lost the trace of the troops of the Chinese Army. We have been pursuing, in fact, it is likely to be the decoy force of the Chinese army! Soichiro Ita paused and reported.
Takakura Shotaro had already learned about the situation from other Japanese soldiers at this time, and his face was immediately gloomy.
"Baga Ya Road! Eight Ga Ya Road! Waste, it's all waste! "Even if Soichiro Ita is Shotaro's lieutenant of Takakura, the old devil is also angry when he hears this.
Having lost the main force of the enemy army that ambushed the palace of Kanin Palace, how can this entangle the enemy army? And once he lost the trace of ambushing His Royal Highness the Prince's Shina Army, Shinozuka Yoshio's anger was definitely the first fire to burn on himself.
Thinking of facing the anger of Yoshio Shinozuka, he couldn't help but continue to reprimand Soichiro Ita. Takakura Shotaro hurriedly asked the Japanese staff officers around him to spread out the map and carefully study the possible routes for Li Yunlong and the others to retreat.
"Yitian-kun, now look at it, if you are the commander of the Chinese army, after ambushing His Royal Highness the Prince. Faced with the situation that we are sandwiched between the north and the south, Fuping in the east, and the troops in Quyang and Quyang, and the Dabie Mountain Range in the west, where can we escape? Although Takakura Shotaro scolded Soichiro Itada, he still waved his finger directly and pointed to the map and asked.
Soichiro Ita was also in a bad mood at this time, after all, Takakura Shotaro was dissatisfied that he led the cavalry troops to pursue Li Yunlong and others and lost their traces, but Ida Soichiro knew that this was because Takakura Shotaro was under too much pressure.
Therefore, Ida Soichiro, who knew the current pressure of Takakura Shotaro, said solemnly when he heard this, "Your Excellency Shaoza, judging from the map, there are troops from our empire intercepting them on all sides. It stands to reason that it will not be easy for the army that ambushed His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito of the Idle Yuan Palace to escape. However, judging from the scene of the ambush and the traces left by the northward retreat of the Chinese army, the strength of the Chinese army that ambushed His Royal Highness the Prince will not exceed two hundred. With this bit of men, the Chinese army can actually hide in the mountains and mountains of Dabie Mountain! ”。
"What does Yitian-kun mean that the Chinese army has already entered the mountain?" Takakura Shotaro pointed to the Dabie Mountain Range near the Great Wall Ridge and said in a condensed voice.
Soichiro Yitian said, "Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" He thought that at this time, we had lost the trace of the Chinese army in the woods near the Great Wall Ridge, and he thought that if he wanted to get out of the entanglement with us and ambush the troops of His Royal Highness the Prince, he would inevitably go into the mountains and hide. And the Chinese army has always been very good at hiding in the mountains and forests. Less than 200 people are hidden in the mountains, and it is a breeze! It can also widen the gap with our strength and get out of the entanglement with us! ”。
"Yo Xi, Yi Tianjun, you immediately contact the garrison of the Great Wall Ridge and ask for cooperation with us to go into the mountains to search for the Chinese army!" Takakura Shotaro pointed to the area of Dabie Mountain, where the Great Wall Ridge is located, and waved his hand to Soichiro Ita.
Soichiro Yida immediately paused and said, "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Then he immediately sent someone to contact the Japanese troops stationed at the Great Wall Ridge Pass.
However, what Shotaro Takakura didn't know was that the results of his analysis with Soichiro Ita and other Japanese staff officers were actually wrong.
Li Yunlong and the others had actually crossed the Shahe River, and the attacking troops had already ridden their war horses and turned to the direction of the main peak of Damao Mountain in the northeast, and continued to cross the Tang River in the east after crossing the Damao Mountain.
When Takakura Shotaro and other Japanese troops began to search for Li Yunlong and others in the mountains in the area of the Great Wall Ridge, Li Yunlong and others had already crossed the Tang River and marched north to the vicinity of Laiyuan!
