Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned and took the urgent telegram handed over by Yusuke Dohi and looked at it carefully for a while, "Yaga Yalu, how is it possible?" Didn't the Yuci defenders know that Li Yunlong's troops were in the Shigu Mountain and Fukou Mountain area on the border between Ji Province and Jin Province! How could it be possible to fly to Yuci City to attack the city? ”

At this time, Yusuke Dohi was already standing next to the map placed by the temporary field headquarters with Yoshio Shinozuka, who put down the telegram and pointed to the map.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I also think that it may be exaggerated by the Yuci defenders. At this time, Li Yunlong's headquarters should have taken refuge in Shigu Mountain, Fukou Mountain, and the 33rd Division's pursuit of the advancing imperial troops from the north of Yucheng to Matou Town, and the 2,000 imperial troops we sent from Hukou Pass and other places to advance and encircle from east to west. At this time, the 2,000 new regiments commanded by Li Yunlong should be in the middle of the two mountains at this time! ”

After a pause, Yusuke Dohi pointed to the map and said, "What's more, Your Excellency Commander, judging from the map, there are two ways to return to Jin Province from the two mountains. One is to advance west from Shigu Mountain, cross the Qingzhang River and re-enter Jin Province from Hukou Pass. It's just that Hukou Pass is garrisoned by the imperial army at this time, although Hukou Pass has been captured by Li Yunlong's troops before. But we've reoccupied it, and we're sending troops to garrison the repaired passes! Therefore, if Hukou Pass is attacked at this time, it is impossible for the defenders of Hukou Pass not to warn Li Cheng! ”。

"And the other way?" Yoshio Shinozuka said with a solemn expression, Yuji suddenly appeared Li Yunlong's troops, and there was a half chance that it existed.

After all, with Li Yunlong's military command skills, there may be a way to break away from the east and west to enter Shigu Mountain, and after the Japanese troops at Fukou Mountain came into contact, they secretly re-attacked and entered Jin Province from other routes.

Yusuke Dohi didn't know that Yoshio Shinozuka already had a guess in his heart at this time, and pointed to the military map in front of him and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the other way is to go north from Fukou Mountain, attack Wu'an County, and then rush to Huangze Pass in the northwest. After capturing Liao County, Li Yunlong's troops could attack Yushe, Wuxiang, and Mixian to the west, and then go north to attack Dagu and other places, and approach Yuci. Perhaps after capturing Liao County, he went north along the western source of Qingzhang, crossed the Taihang Mountain Range, and suddenly went north, approaching Yuci. ”。

"Judging from Tu Feijun's analysis, combined with the urgent telegram we have obtained from the Yuci defenders. Li Yunlong's department is bound to go up from the northwest of Wu'an County, attack and occupy Huangzeguan, after Liao County, go north along the western source of Qingzhang and cross the Taihang Mountain Range, and then go out of the mountain and approach Yucicheng! This is the only way to be the most in line with the time we got the emergency power of the Yuci defenders. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was solemn, his hands were already bruised, and his angry expression was almost uncontrollable. Baga, I didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so bold and suddenly appear in Yuci.

And for the strength of the Yuji defenders, Yoshio Shinozuka knows better than anyone else. However, Yuci is located in the southeast direction of Taiyuan, which is an important peripheral stronghold of the southern gate of Taiyuan.

And if it really comes to that time, for Yoshio Shinozuka, his position as commander of the First Army may be 100% gone.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately said to Yusuke Dohi: "Tohi-kun, you immediately send a telegram to the defenders of Liao County to see if you can contact the defenders of Liao County?" Hurry up and drop! By the way, call Huang Zeguan and the Wu'an defenders, hurry up! ”。 1800 Literature

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, I understand my humble duties!"

Yusuke Dohi knew what Yoshio Shinozuka meant, so he immediately turned around and walked quickly to the side of the headquarters, and the Japanese signal soldiers not far from the command asked them to quickly send a telegram to ask. And Yusuke Tohi personally shook the battlefield phone and directly contacted the garrison at Huang Zeguan.

After about two minutes, Yusuke Tohi frowned, walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka with a stern expression, and said, "Your Excellency, the defenders of Liao County did not call back. We called Huang Zeguan and the imperial troops stationed in Wu'an could not get through, and I am afraid that the defenders in these places have been annihilated by Li Yunlong's troops. ”。

"Baga, damn it! Call back to the Yuci defenders immediately and tell them to hold on and wait for help. The Yuci defenders had only one infantry brigade under the jurisdiction of the 16th Independent Brigade to defend Yuci, and their strength was thin. If you think that the main force of the national army of 10,000 or 20,000 is besieging Yuci, the imperial army with these forces can easily hold Yuci City. It's just that the troops under Li Yunlong's command are too mobile at the moment, and the siege tactics are very flexible and strong. The Yuci defenders only have one infantry brigade, which is unbearable! ”

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said to Yusuke Tohi again: "Order Major General Taro Miyano, who stayed in Taiyuan, to dispatch a wing of the Taiyuan defenders to rush reinforcements in the direction of Yuci, and order the imperial troops in Dongyang, Xugou, Beige, Da'an, Shouyang, and Yangquan to send out to surround Yuci and form a tight encirclement. Order the imperial army of Yushe and Wuxiang to attack eastward, capture Liao County, and block the way for the troops under the command of Li Yunlong to escape to the original route! Execute the order! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander! Your Excellency Commander, are these troops under the overall command of Major General Miyano, who remained in Taiyuan City? Yusuke Tsuchihi asked.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while, waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "I forgot this, I ordered Miyano Taro to command these troops to encircle Li Yunlong's troops who attacked Yuci!" Tell Miyano Taro that this is Jiejia's opportunity, and Li Yunlong is looking for a dead end to enter Taiyuan. Seize this opportunity and capture Li Yunlong alive for me! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, obey your orders!" Yusuke Dohi paused heavily, and then hurriedly left to send someone to send a report and call Yoshio Shinozuka to convey his order.

And just when Yoshio Shinozuka learned that Yuci suddenly encountered a new regiment of more than 2,000 elites commanded by Li Yunlong to attack Yuci City, Li Yunlong, who was storming Yuci City at this time, was standing behind a hillside less than 300 meters outside the south gate of Yuci, lying on the back of the slope of the hill and carefully holding a telescope to observe the battle of the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao attacking the south gate.

"Boom, boom, boom!!" Outside the south gate, the artillery commanded by Wang Chengzhu concentrated more than 20 mortars of the Japanese army carried and captured with the army, lined up outside the city, and bombarded the head of the south gate of Yuci fiercely.

"Order Wang Chengzhu to increase artillery bombardment and cover Zhang Dabiao's attack on the south gate! Order the rest of the gates to intercept the feints of Zhou Hua, Sun Desheng and others, pay attention to blocking the Japanese defenders of the other gates to go out of the city to counterattack! After observing the battle situation at the south gate for a while, Li Yunlong beckoned to the messenger who was on call at any time next to him.

"Yes, Captain." The herald took the order and left.
