Chapter 383: The main force goes north

Before continuing to withdraw eastward to the base area, Li Yunlong, according to the plan, stayed two battalions of Ma Wenhai's headquarters of the Third Regiment with a total of 1,000 soldiers stationed at Pingxingguan to guard Pingxingguan.

So that after the main forces retreated, Pingxingguan remained in the hands of the independent brigade. Otherwise, it is impossible to abandon the level level.

Once Fujimoto Haruki knew that the rear retreat was cut off at this time, he would inevitably ask the devils in Taiyuan to send troops north for reinforcements.

At that time, the importance of Pingxingguan will be highlighted.

Li Yunlong then led the main force to quickly return to Lingqiu County before the Japanese troops occupied Guangling and Laiyuan approached Pingxingguan.

It's just that at this time, Lingqiu County has been burned to ruins by little devils. The fire was not until the main force of the Independent Brigade returned to the outside of the county seat, and some fires that had not yet been extinguished could still be seen!

"Made, what an abominable little devil! Haruki Fujimoto, labor and management remember you! Li Yunlong led the main force back to Lingqiu County, and when he saw that the county seat had been burned to ruins by devils, he was furious and gritted his teeth.

Zhang Dabiao, the head of the first regiment, Shen Qun, the second regiment leader, and Ma Wenhai, the third regiment leader, all saw the tragic situation in Lingqiu County.

The Japanese army did not control Lingqiu on the spot, but burned Lingqiu to the ground, which is a sin against the Chinese people!

"Brigadier Commander! Let's go north now! Copy the back road of the old devil Haruki Fujimoto! ”

"That's right, brigade commander, without further ado, go north!"

"Yes, brigade commander, let's fight!"

Several regiment commanders spoke out one after another, filled with righteous indignation! Fujimoto Haruki This is a big crime of the Red Hello, this time, if Fujimoto Haruki wants to surrender, it is impossible for the Independent Brigade to accept it!

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Brothers, don't worry! At present, Haruki Fujimoto is also commanding the main force of the post headquarters to storm the position of our independent brigade at the mouth of the valley in the Jinlongxia Gorge. Zhao Gang and they can withstand it, now let the devils waste some more shells at the mouth of the canyon! ”。

Just as Zhang Dabiao and the others continued to want to speak, hurried footsteps came from behind.

A communications staff officer of the brigade headquarters hurriedly arrived, and when he saw Li Yunlong, he immediately saluted and said hurriedly: "Brigade commander, the Japanese army in Laiyuan has arrived at a place less than five miles away from us!" ”。

"Maps! Fast! Hearing this, Li Yunlong waved his hand and shouted to Wei Dayong on the side.

Wei Dayong immediately took out the map from the document bag and spread it out in front of everyone, Li Yunlong pointed and slided, "Here, the devils are coming so fast, how many devils are there in Laiyuan?" ”

"According to reconnaissance, the enemy army is coming, there should be only a thousand people, probably less than the strength of an infantry brigade!"

Li Yunlong sneered when he heard this, and said to Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun, the second regiment leader: "Old Shen, Da Biao, you lead all the departments, attack back and forth, and eat this devil army from Laiyuan!" Leave not one behind, kill them all! ”。

"Understood, Brigadier Commander!" Both of them understood that Li Yunlong was angry for the devils who burned Lingqiu County to the ground and ruins, and it was impossible to forgive this group of devils.

After all, after Zhao Gang and others organized the people of Lingqiu County to withdraw from the county seat, the Japanese troops of the Fujimoto Harubu who rushed to the county seat were still on fire and burned Lingqiu County into ruins.

For Li Yunlong and others, this group of devils is simply rubbish. For garbage, it is impossible to accept surrender!

Without stopping, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun each directly led their subordinates to attack in a roundabout way, and after more than 1,000 Japanese troops from Laiyuan went north entered the ambush circle, they launched a fierce attack.

According to the past, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun despise devils. However, they did not dare to ambush a Japanese brigade in the field, but the first and second regiments were already motorized, and the troops were fully cavalry, ambushed on both wings, and killed them on horseback.

In the frightened eyes of the reinforcements of the Japanese army in Laiyuan, they were already scattered and fled!

As soon as the cavalry of the two regiments was killed in a large-scale ambush, the Japanese army of 1,000 men had just moved north from Laiyuan according to the urgent order of Haruki Fujimoto and then moved west to reinforce the Japanese troops under RyΕ«tai Ando. Unexpectedly, the main force of the Independent Brigade had already returned to Lingqiu County in advance!

In less than twenty minutes of the battle, this Japanese army was completely annihilated!

Not a single one left!

After annihilating more than 1,000 Japanese troops from Laiyuan to the north, the two regiments returned to Lingqiu County!

At this time, Li Yunlong had already learned of the latest battle situation at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, and Haruki Fujimoto concentrated three artillery brigades and 24 70-millimeter Type 92 infantry guns to carry out a devastating artillery attack on his own position at the mouth of the valley of the Jinlong Gorge.

On the small canyon position, the trenches were covered by the dirt tossed by the devil's shells.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang commanded most of the defenders to retreat to the mountain road behind the valley mouth to hide, leaving only a few sentries to observe!

However, Rao was like this, and the large-scale artillery bombardment concentrated by Haruki Fujimoto still caused great damage to the Taniguchi position.

Fortunately, the position at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack! In the face of the fierce shelling of the Japanese army, it is still easy for your side to withstand it!

Seeing that Zhang Dabiao and Shen Qun had eliminated more than 1,000 Japanese troops from Laiyuan to the north in about 20 minutes, Li Yunlong didn't make any waves, just waved his hand and said: "Da Biao, old Shen, you fought well!" However, there is still a Japanese army that has gone south from Guangling, which has already taken the road and is heading south towards Lingqiu. This devil, let the remaining two battalions of the third regiment meet here in the county seat! Wenhai, can you solve this Japanese army? ”。

"Don't worry, brigade commander, it's a little meaning!" Ma Wenhai, the third head of the regiment, said with a smile.

Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "Although the Japanese army that occupied Guangling and the Japanese army in Laiyuan belong to the same wing, their combat effectiveness is still not weak. And it's also more than a thousand devils, and now you only have two battalions left, the third battalion and the fourth battalion, and I can't leave you too many troops. I want to take all of them to the north, copy the back road of Haruki Fujimoto, and strive to leave Haruki Fujimoto's 15,000 main forces in the Hengshan base area! You command the remaining two battalions of the third regiment, and you must deal with more than 1,000 Japanese troops in Guangling's south! To ensure total annihilation! ”。

"Please rest assured, brigade commander, but brigade commander, do you leave me five artillery pieces and ten light and heavy machine guns! The firepower of my two battalions is a little weak! Marven Hai asked.

Li Yunlong waved his hand, just now the first regiment and the second regiment jointly ate more than 1,000 Japanese troops who went north from Laiyuan, and there were eight devil heavy machine guns and more than 20 light machine guns that were captured, and they were still intact.

"The light and heavy machine guns captured by the Japanese army in Laiyuan north that the second regiment and the first regiment ate just now, as well as artillery, are all for you!" Li Yunlong said that at this time, there were still many light and heavy machine guns in the troops, and there was no shortage of them.

"Thank you, brigade commander, for guaranteeing that on your way north, there will be 1,000 devils who will go south from Guangling, and I, Ma Wenhai, promise to eat them all outside Lingqiu City!" The third head of the regiment, Ma Wenhai, saluted!

Li Yunlong nodded, and then stopped talking nonsense, and directly assembled the first regiment and the second regiment, as well as the main force of more than 6,500 people in the reserve directly under the brigade to go north along the Guanshui River!
