In any case, Matsui Ishine sent a mixed brigade to tentatively attack in the direction of Lingqiu.

At this time, in Lingqiu City, Li Yunlong was walking on the streets of the city with Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and others.

"Regiment commander, killed more than 580 devils in the city and captured more than 30 people. The captain of the devil brigade defending the city, Sato Kiyofuku, led his troops to desperately break through and retreat south, and now he has run to Sanshan Town! According to the news from the reconnaissance detachment, Matsui Shigen's main army has entered Laiyuan City! The defeated devils of Lingqiu withdrew from Sanshan Town and moved closer to Laiyuan City. ”

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, reported to Li Yunlong the results of the attack on Lingqiu County and the movement of the front reconnaissance attack on Matsui Shigen's department!

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Well, send someone to persuade all the people who are still in the city to go out, once the 40,000 army of Matsui Shigen is killed in Lingqiu County, maybe this old devil will plague the city!" Matsui Shigen, the old devil, is one of the culprits of the Jinling massacre, and the 6th Division of Gu Shoufu's department is the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army! This old devil who connived at Gu Shoufu's slaughter of the Jinling army and civilians cannot underestimate the ferocity of this old devil! ”。

"Commander, the soldiers have been sent to persuade them. Most of the common people heard that Matsui Shigen was coming with 40,000 Japanese troops, and they had already left the city and rushed to the countryside to take refuge temporarily! Most of the rest have some circumstances and can't get out of the city to escape! Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion on the side, said a little helplessly.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said in a condensed voice: "Forget it, there is no way to do it." Now, it's up to Matsui Ishine, the old devil, to deal with our initiative! ”。

Several battalion commanders nodded one after another, one step ahead of Matsui Shigen and recaptured Lingqiu County, obviously in front of Matsui Shigen's 40,000 Japanese troops, and slapped Matsui Shigen, just to see that Matsui Shigen was not provoked.

Soon, however, the expectations came!

"Report to the regiment commander, an urgent telegram came from the front-line reconnaissance detachment. Matsui Shigen's army, which had arrived in Laiyuan City, dispatched a mixed brigade of nearly 8,000 people more than two minutes ago, and was preparing to pass through Sanshan Town and march towards Lingqiu. Within ten minutes, a signal soldier rushed to Li Yunlong and saluted.

Li Yunlong quickly took the telegram in the hands of the communication soldier and looked at it, and sneered at Zhang Dabiao and the others around him: "Hmph, this old devil Matsui Shigen is really cunning, and he actually didn't have a large army all dispatched. Send a mixed brigade out to attack tentatively, this is the trick to see first! ”。

"Maps! The big guys are coming up and watching! How about we fight a battle in Sanshan Town? Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to take out a military map from his briefcase and spread it out on the ground, beckoned Zhang Dabiao, and Shen Qun and the others pointed after gathering around.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, took the lead and said: "Regiment commander, although there are no devils in Sanshan Town, the terrain is not bad. But in the end, it's just a town, although it's close to Lingqiu, but once the main force of the enemy army in Laiyuan City behind catches up, we are in danger of being entangled! ”。

"I agree to fight! Otherwise, this vanguard of the Japanese army also has 8,000 people, should we withdraw? The second battalion commander Shen Qun shook his head and said, still inclined to fight a battle in Sanshan Town, and first teach Matsui Shigen's vanguard a lesson.

"What do you mean, old horse?" Li Yunlong turned his head and smiled at Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion!

Ma Wenhai thought about it, but said conservatively: "Regiment commander, the combat effectiveness of this mixed brigade sent by Matsui Shigen is not weak, and it is also drawn from the sequence of troops directly under the North China Front Army of the devil to command Matsui Shigen, and the weaponry and combat effectiveness are not weaker than ours!" If we are going to fight, the battle in Sanshan Town can only be resolved quickly. Once it becomes a scorching battle and a protracted war, more than 30,000 people and horses from Matsui Shigen in the direction of Laiyuan City will be pasted, and it will be troublesome at that time. ”。

"What you kid said is not bad, you can think about it!"

Li Yunlong nodded, although Ma Wenhai was a little conservative, but he considered more aspects, "Then eat one or two thousand of the vanguard sent by Matsui Shigen in Sanshan Town, and give Matsui Shigen a greeting gift." Lest this old devil think that labor and management are just giving him an initial dismissal! No, labor and management are giving him a big dismount, and the most heart-wrenching one!! ”

"Commander, how do you fight? All up? Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao also knew that the battle of Sanshan Town had to be fought!

Li Yunlong pondered, and pointed to Sanshan Town on the map: "The terrain of Sanshan Town is narrow, and the intersections between the north and south of the town are very narrow, like this!" Old Ma, you take the three battalions to lure the enemy, fight and retreat, and lure this devil into the town as a brigade. The rest of the 1st and 2nd battalions are ambushed on the flanks, and when the time comes, they will block it and fight me! ”。

"I'm afraid that the devil won't be fooled!" The second battalion commander Ma Wenhai said in a condensed voice, the little devil is not a fool! It's impossible not to notice something unusual!

However, Li Yunlong said with a smile: "We came out this time, and the artillery and mortars, grenadiers and other things we brought with us are enough to beat the little devils and a vanguard is not a problem!" If you want to fight, you must fight quickly and kill half of the men and horses of this devil mixed into the brigade. Before Matsui Ishine has time to keep up, eat half of the devil's vanguard! Even if you can't eat half of it, you can still do it by annihilating one or two thousand people? Big! ”。

"That's possible, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and the others smiled, at present, there are more than 2,000 men and horses in each battalion, and more than 6,000 horses in three battalions, plus five or six hundred elite troops directly under Li Yunlong's personal control, as well as the cavalry battalion controlled by Sun Desheng.

In fact, there are nearly 7,000 people brought out by Li Yunlong this time, instead of more than 6,000 before!

Therefore, it is still possible to ambush and eat one or two thousand Japanese troops in Sanshan Town. After all, each battalion is equipped with a lot of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns, and a single shuttle can kill many devils. What's more, it was three battalions working together to ambush! There's no reason not to succeed!

"Good! Without further ado, the battalions immediately assembled, went out of the city, and rushed to Sanshan Town to ambush the devil, the vanguard of the mixed brigade!! ”

"Yes, Captain!!" Zhang Dabiao and the others stood up and saluted, and then hurriedly went to prepare.

A few minutes later, the rapidly assembled battalions of men and horses, under the command of Li Yunlong, quickly withdrew from the east of Lingqiu County and rushed to Sanshan Town.

Sanshan Town is the closest to Lingqiu County and Sanshan Town is closest to Lingqiu, so Li Yunlong and the others led a rapid march to attack the independent 7th Mixed Brigade sent by Matsui Shigen to set up an ambush in one step ahead of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade sent by Matsui Shigen to attack the advance!

Sanshan Town is located between Lingqiu County and Laiyuan, between the two cities, and its strategic location is still very important. Although Sanshan Town was guarded by Japanese troops before, because Li Yunlong's offensive was too fierce, he conquered Lingqiu County at once, and Sato Kiyofuku fled in a hurry.

Therefore, the Japanese troops guarding Sanshan Town also fled to Laiyuan with the defeated troops of Sato Kiyofuku. Therefore, Li Yunlong and others led their troops to Sanshan Town, and there was not a single devil soldier in the town!
