Tian Junliu's eyes were solemn, looking at the huge map in front of him!

The terrain in eastern Henan is flat, suitable for cavalry galloping!

Based on Tian Junliu's gaze, the other party is estimated to gallop in eastern and southern Henan! And there are now more than 20,000 devils left in the headquarters of the 35th Division, and most of them are divided into major cities and towns!

Li Yunlong sent more than 15,000 cavalry south, and such a large force of cavalry galloped in eastern and southern Henan, which caused too much pressure on the Longhai line.

What's more, at this time, Lanfeng on the Longhai line, the two cities of Neihuang were broken by Li Yunlong's cavalry troops.

Although the opponent did not leave troops to defend it, the cavalry that came and went like the wind was more difficult to deal with than the infantry. The 35th Division did not have too many cavalry units, which would make it impossible for Yuankou to mobilize cavalry to surround the cavalry army sent south by Li Yunlong.

After thinking about it, Tian Junliu's head suddenly hurt.

"Increasing the cavalry to the 35th Division will definitely not be missing!" Tian Jun Liudao.

Shintaro Watanabe nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, General." If we follow the urgent telegram from the source, then there are at least 15,000 enemy cavalry in the eastern Henan area, then we are afraid that we need to mobilize at least 10,000 cavalry to be able to catch up with the other side. Otherwise, there are so many enemy cavalry, and the imperial troops guarding everywhere are afraid that they will be broken by each one. ”。

Tian Jun's six jaws are headed, it is indeed so.

It's just that Tian Junliu has just taken over the North China Front, and he has just clarified the situation of some troops in a short period of time!

The closest devil unit to eastern Henan, I'm afraid that there is only the headquarters of the 12th Army that occupies Lu Province!

After thinking about it, Tian Junliu asked Watanabe Shintaro: "The closest to the area in eastern Henan should be Xuzhou, as well as the imperial army troops in the direction of Lu Province. The imperial army in the direction of Nakajo Mountain can't be counted on! If cavalry reinforcements are drawn, where can cavalry be drawn to reinforce the 35th Division? ”。

"The 12th Army can! Your Excellency, General! ”

Shintaro Watanabe said solemnly: "The 12th Army is stationed in Ludi, and it should be possible to draw cavalry from the 12th Army!" ”。

"Confidential staff officer, transfer the current strength of the 12th Army!" Tian Junliu waved his hand to a devil staff officer next to him and ordered.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

A few minutes later, the deployment of the 12th Army of the Devil Army stationed in Ludi was already in Tian Junliu's eyes.

"The cavalry units that the 12th Army can currently use are only the 15th Cavalry Brigade and the 16th Cavalry Brigade, with a total of only more than 6,000 people!" The corners of Tian Junliu's mouth twitched, and he said a little helplessly.

Shintaro Watanabe said with a wry smile: "Before, Li Yunlong's command post entered Ludi and attacked the 12th Army everywhere in Ludi. The units under the jurisdiction of the 12th Army also suffered heavy casualties, and it is estimated that only two cavalry brigades can be transferred, which is already possible, Your Excellency General. ”。

"Forget it, the Empire is strained right now. The newly recruited soldiers on the ground need to be trained at least, and in a short time all units of our front army will lack reinforcements! ”

Tian Junliu was also quite helpless, and said: "Send a telegram to Iida Zhengu and ask him to immediately mobilize the 15th Cavalry Brigade and the two 16th Brigade to reinforce the 35th Division in eastern Henan to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong's southward cavalry troops." ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency." Tian Junliu ordered like this, and Watanabe Shintaro could only nod helplessly, and then waved his hand, asking the confidential staff officer next to him to immediately telegraph to Iida Sadagu, the commander of the 12th Army.

After instructing the devil staff officer next to him to send a report, Watanabe Shintaro continued: "Your Excellency, General, Li Yunlong sent cavalry south, and he couldn't keep this person in the cavalry team going south. ”。

"Perhaps!"

Tian Junliu said: "Regardless of whether Li Yunlong is in the cavalry team of Henan Province in the south, the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army that appear in the area of eastern and southern Henan must be annihilated. Otherwise, the Longhai line will be threatened and cut off by the other party at any time, which is too uncomfortable. At present, there is a fierce battle in the Nakajo Mountain area, and a large amount of military supplies is needed to attack the more than 100,000 imperial troops there. Once the Longhai line is cut off, it is no less than a huge earthquake. The total number of cavalry brigades is only more than 6,000 people, but it is enough, and with the cavalry wing of the 35th Division itself, it should be more than 7,000 cavalry. At that time, the 35th Division will concentrate some infantry to cooperate, and it should not be a problem to be able to block the enemy cavalry. ”。

Watanabe Shintaro can't deny it, Li Yunlong is very cunning, and he doesn't know if he can catch them if he can catch them after mobilizing two cavalry brigades!

Only total annihilation, only God knows.

So, Watanabe Shintaro said: "Your Excellency, General, have you mobilized some aviation fighters to cooperate with the 35th Division?" ”。

"Yes! Send a message to the imperial army stationed in Xuzhou City, and ask them to activate all the fighters and cooperate with the headquarters of the 35th Division! Tian Junliu nodded.

"Understood, Your Excellency." Shintaro Watanabe said!

Tian Junroku waved his hand and motioned for Shintaro Watanabe to deploy immediately.

Tian Junliu, on the other hand, looked at the map and brows in contemplation. For Tian Junliu, Li Yunlong suddenly drew troops to the south, and he was still a cavalry, and he went south to Henan Province, was it really just to cut off the Longhai line?

You must know that there are actually Japanese troops from all over the country near the Longhai line who are still gathered to protect the railway line, and even if there are 15,000 cavalry to destroy the railway line, the Japanese army will be able to send troops to re-inspect the railway line in a short time.

"Is it a sound that strikes the west?" Tian Junliu was a little nervous, and couldn't help but guess.

However, Tian Junliu did not guess anything, and immediately asked Watanabe Shintaro to send a report to the units of the Imperial Allied Army besieging the Hengshan area and the Japanese troops supervising the Imperial Allied Army, and strengthened the blockade of Li Yunlong's base area.

After a while, Kaifeng City, the headquarters of the 35th Division of the devil!

"Dada!!"

The sound of crisp footsteps came from the communication office of the hut on the side of the regimental headquarters of the 35th Devil Division, and the old devil Yuankou looked at it with all his heart, and it was the communication staff officer of the division headquarters who walked out quickly.

"Report to the commander of the division, the front army command called back! They judged that the enemy cavalry in the area of eastern Henan in the south was the cavalry of Li Yunlong's division of the Eighth Route Army! ”

After a pause, the Devil Communications Staff Officer continued: "In addition, Your Excellency the General has sent a report to General Iida, the commander of the 12th Army, asking the 15th Cavalry Brigade and the 16th Cavalry Brigade of the 12th Army to immediately set off for reinforcements in eastern Henan!" ”。

"There are at least more than 6,000 cavalry brigades in the two divisions, plus the cavalry units of my 35th division, more than 7,000 cavalry! Your Excellency, Division Commander! The chief of staff of the division, Jitaro Aodo, said happily!

Hearing this, Genguchi nodded and said, "Not bad! Our cavalry is at least 7,000 men, half less than the enemy. However, with the infantry units of our 35th Division, not to mention the total annihilation of the arrogant cavalry of the other side, it should not be a problem to entangle them and annihilate one of them. ”。

"Pass my order to let the imperial reconnaissance planes that take off from Xuzhou increase reconnaissance, and they must lock down the main force of this cavalry army sent by Li Yunlong."

Aoto Jitaro said: "Understand, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" ”。
