In the city of Daimyo, in the headquarters of an infantry brigade under the command of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, the Japanese army captain Junichiro Yamaoka, who was responsible for commanding all the Japanese puppet army troops who had withdrawn into the town of Daimyo and was waiting for reinforcements, was looking at the city defense map with a frown.

Because he learned that Li Yunlong led his troops from the area of Guanxian in Shandong Province into the area of the Daimyo Prefecture, Junichiro Yamaoka, the captain of the Japanese army who was sitting in the town of Daimyo County, directly ordered all the Japanese puppet troops in Nanle and other cities south of the Daimyo County to withdraw to the Daimyo County of Takaikeshen and wait for reinforcements. After all, Li Yunlong's 2,000 iron cavalry can be dismounted at any time as infantry to attack the city, and it has artillery support, if there are only a few troops in the Daimyo county to take the enemy, I am afraid it will not be easy to withstand the county seat.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the Handan Division Headquarters directly sent us an urgent telegram, Your Excellency the Division Commander has dispatched the imperial troops from Guangping and Cheng'an to transport troops by truck, and mobile and mobile reinforcements for us, Your Excellency the Division Commander strictly ordered us to hold on and wait for reinforcements. If the county seat of Daimyo was not lost, Li Yunlong's troops would only be able to attack and advance south of the county seat of Daimyo. And in the Heze area of Shandong, the headquarters of the 6th Brigade directly under the control of the 12th Army of Commander Iida Sadagu has already entered Heze, and it can advance westward from there at any time to cut off Li Yunlong's main cavalry force to the south! ”

While Junichiro Yamaoka was looking intently at the defense map of the city and thinking about a possible siege strategy to deal with Li Yunlong, at this time, Captain Yusei Miyata, the chief of staff of Junichiro Yamaoka's brigade, hurriedly came to the front and reported in a condensed voice.

Hearing this, Junichiro Yamaoka raised his head, snatched the urgent telegram from Miyata's hand and took a closer look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Yo Xi, after all, Your Excellency the division commander knows our strength, and it is impossible to completely go out of the city to counterattack the opponent's two thousand iron cavalry, and it will take about twenty minutes for reinforcements to arrive at the Daimyo Prefecture." The chief of staff ordered all the imperial troops and imperial troops to hold the gates and gates, and sent some men and horses to inspect the main roads in the city and strengthen martial law. If there are ordinary people who go to the street without permission, they will all die! ”

"Haiyi, Your Excellency Shaozuo, obey your orders!" When Miyata Yusei heard this, he also agreed with Junichiro Yamaoka's response, and replied with a heavy pause.

Junichiro Yamaoka suddenly thought of something at this time, and said to Miyata Yusei: "What is the movement of Li Yunlong's department outside the city?" ”。

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army surrounded the city to provoke, wantonly insulting His Majesty the Emperor, and trying their best to provoke. It is estimated that Li Yunlong also observed that the county town of Daimyo, which was strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, it may be through wanton scolding to provoke our army to go out of the city to counterattack! ”

When Junichiro Yamaoka heard this, he sneered: "Baga, does Li Yunlong think that I, Junichiro Yamaoka, am a fool?" Go out of the city to fight back, Li Yunlong has more than 2,000 iron horsemen in his hands, if we go out of the city to fight back. Attacking and killing with infantry out of the city can only fall prey to the opposing cavalry. Chief of Staff, order all units to guard the city, and not to go out of the city to counterattack without my order. After waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, we will be able to strangle the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army led by Li Yunlong! ”。

"Understood, Your Excellency Shaozuo, I will give the order immediately!" Miyata nodded, and then hurried away to send people to order the various gates and the various units of the garrison guarding the city to patrol the martial law.

At this time, in Handan City, in the headquarters of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, Yuichiro Hatta, commander of the 33rd Division, and Major General Tomoki Onodera, chief of staff of the division, were carefully grinding the current military situation.

Li Yunlong's unit suddenly entered the control area of the 33rd Division in southern Hebei Province, which made Hatta Yuichiro very excited. You must know that Li Yunlong is the culprit who ambushed and killed the four princes of the Japanese Kingdom, if he can lead his troops to kill this person, he will definitely hear in the ears of the Japanese Emperor, glory and wealth, and his career in the army will be much smoother.

You must know that Li Yunlong annihilated many elite troops of the empire, and more importantly, the four imperial princes died in the hands of this person, which shows that if this person can be killed, glory and wealth will come!

Therefore, at this time, in the headquarters of the 33rd Division in Handan City, when the old devil Hatta Yuichiro learned that the Daimyo County had urgently reported that Li Yunlong's troops had been stationed under the county seat, he immediately ordered Major General Onodera Tomoki, the chief of staff of the division, to immediately transfer the troops of the two Japanese divisions stationed in Guangping and Cheng'an, which were closest to the Daimyo County, and a total of about one infantry brigade of the two Japanese troops stationed in Cheng'an, to rush to the aid of Daimyo County by truck. In order to make it easier for Li Yunlong's troops to storm the county seat of Daimyo, after the reinforcements arrived at the county seat of Daimyo, they would join forces with the defenders in the city who were waiting for reinforcements to eat the main cavalry force commanded by Li Yunlong.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Daimyo County Emergency Telegram: Li Yunlong has completed the siege of the command post, and he is wantonly insulting His Majesty the Emperor and insulting the empire, intending to provoke our troops defending the city to go out of the city to counterattack. According to the order of His Excellency the division commander, the city has been defended! Just when the two old devils were concentrating on the map grinding, a division and regimental communications staff officer took an urgent telegram that had just been translated, walked quickly in front of the two old devils and reported with a heavy pause.

Yuichiro Hatta took the telegram handed over by the communications staff officer and looked at it for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Yo Xi, I know. Call back to the defenders of the Daimyo county, if Li Yunlong's troops attack the city, be sure to defend it for me! Within twenty minutes, the reinforcements will rush to the castle of Daimyo, and if the reinforcements lose the castle before the reinforcements arrive at the daimyo prefecture, Junichiro Yamaoka will commit suicide by disembowelment! ’。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" When the staff officer of the 33rd Division communicated with the Japanese army, he felt a sigh in his heart, His Excellency the division commander was really iron-faced and selfless, and he was strict in governing the army, and he was really ruthless, but he still paused heavily on his face, and then hurriedly left to send a report.

At this time, Major General Tomoki Onodera, chief of staff of the division, advised: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Junichiro Yamaoka has withdrawn the Imperial Allied Army and Imperial Army stationed in Nanraku and other places south of Daimyo County into Daimyo County, and the total strength is only more than 1,700 people. Among them, there are only two squadrons of more than 500 imperial troops with combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness of the remaining more than 1,200 imperial troops is very worrying to defend the city. Otherwise, when the empire went south to attack the southern part of Ji Province, these local troops stationed in Daimyo counties and other places would not easily surrender to the imperial army and be reorganized into the imperial army! Junichiro Yamaoka is also a little difficult at this time. Li Yunlong's men and horses are more than 2,000 people, and they are all elite troops of the new regiment, the cavalry on the horse, and the elite infantry below. Under the siege, I'm afraid that the daimyo county town won't be able to hold it for a long time! ”。

"So, I must order Junichiro Yamaoka to stand by for help, to hold on. More than 1,000 imperial military trucks from Quang Binh and Cheng'an rushed to their aid, and it only took about 20 minutes. If Junichiro Yamaoka couldn't hold the fortified city of the daimyo county for even twenty minutes, committing suicide by disembowelment would already be the final outcome of an imperial soldier's humiliation! Chief of Staff, no need to say more! Yuichiro Hatta said coldly!
