Chapter 148: Transportation Hub
"Go east and attack Baochang directly?"
Zhang Dabiao's eyes were solemn, "Commander, is it a bit risky?" According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the Japanese puppet soldiers who were captured after the previous attack on Shangdu and the Pangnan Station, there was at least one Japanese infantry brigade stationed in Baochang City to defend the city. Now that our department has entered the Chahar turmoil, the Japanese puppet army in all parts of Chahar has strengthened its vigilance at this time. At this time, it is very dangerous to climb over the Yin Mountain and go out to attack Baochang directly! ”
Li Yunlong waved his hand, pointed to the spread map and said, "The enemy situation has changed, and Matsui Shigen has divided his troops." We're going to make a change, too! It stands to reason that this time, we have been leading tens of thousands of Japanese troops of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army under the command of Matsui Ishine with the tactics of morning glory to climb mountains and wade through waters, constantly dragging this Japanese division to death, the purpose is to create favorable fighters on the way to the Morning Glory and seek opportunities to annihilate one of them! ”。
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued to smile after taking a breath: "Now that the fighter plane has appeared, Matsui Shigen has once again divided his troops to pursue us!" Its strength has been divided into two, and the Japanese army on the southern line is still in the southern line after Zhangbei at this time, so that they can take the train from Zhangbei to Baochang and Duolun to the first line. Although the devils on the southern front were full of the strength of a brigade, it was at least a long time before they rushed to the Baochang area. Within forty or fifty minutes, if we want to stop the devils on the southern front from taking a detour to Baochang, we can still do it. ”。
"Oh!!!"
There was an exclamation on the side, and I saw that it was the second battalion commander Shen Qun who suddenly realized: "No wonder the regiment commander, before we passed through the Pannan Station, you also asked the soldiers to pick up a section of the railroad track to the south, this is to make the devils who go south can only walk on foot!" Stall! ”。
The rest of the people were a little surprised, the regiment commander realized at Pangnam Station at that time that Matsui Ishine was going to start dividing his troops again at Pangnam Station?
However, Li Yunlong waved his hand and smiled: "When I was at Pangnam Station, how could the labor and management expect that Matsui Shigen would divide the troops after chasing after Pangnan Station, but at that time, I felt that Pangnan Station was connected to Ulan to Zhangbei, and it was a necessary station for the devil's army to go south." Therefore, it is still beneficial for us to pick up a section of railroad tracks south of Pangnam Station and destroy the time for the devil train to go south. It's just that I didn't expect that Matsui Ishine really divided his troops to the south at Pangnan Station. ”。
"So, when the enemy changes, we have to make changes as well. The fighter plane has suddenly appeared, and at this time, taking advantage of the time is still enough, it directly crossed the Yinshan Mountain Range and went eastward to attack Baochang by surprise. ”
Zhang Dabiao said: "Regiment commander, Baochang is protected by the city wall, and there is an infantry brigade of the Japanese army in the city, which belongs to the headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Brigade of the 19th Infantry Wing of the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army. As for whether there is an imperial army in the city, we don't know for the time being, and we hurriedly went east to attack Baochang, and the enemy's reality is undecided, I'm afraid it's not good for me! ”。
"Da Biao, now there are at least 17,000 troops in Matsui Shigen who is chasing behind, and at least nearly 10,000 devils in the southern front. Two encirclements, if we follow the previous plan along the northeast of the northern foot of Yin Mountain, we can only be under the attack of the other party! Now, with the sudden appearance of fighters, it is not difficult to capture Baochang. Baochang is flat, although it is protected by city walls, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if there are several regiments of the Imperial Association Army in the city to assist in defense, it cannot stop the onslaught of more than 7,000 elite soldiers of mine! Does Da Biao feel that our current strength is not enough to fight Baochang in a battle? ”
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, Zhang Dabiao was a little worried too much.
Fighters have appeared, attacking Baochang, at least some of the devils can be eaten. Baochang quickly went north to attack Duolun, then Matsui Shigen's plan to encircle on both sides would be bankrupt.
At that time, it was located at the southern foot of Yin Mountain, and the army could attack and retreat! Be in a good position to maneuver! Whether it is to go north to capture Duolun and then go east to Xing'an Mountains, that is, the main peak of Baicha Mountain, or turn around and go south, along Senjitu, Guojiatun, Fengning, and Luanping, and after Chengde, go south, from Xifengkou and Miyun to the north of Beiping, and threaten the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the devil, it is a powerful choice.
Therefore, taking advantage of Matsui Shigen's unexpected moment, he went east to attack Baochang directly, which was an attack target that could shock the little devil.
Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao was also a little embarrassed, so he was indeed a little worried.
"Commander, we must fight quickly! The devil who went south in a roundabout way was the headquarters of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Division, and his mobility was not weaker than ours! Zhang Dabiao reminded!
Of course, Li Yunlong nodded, the 3rd Division was one of the first seventeen divisions of the devils, and it was very forward, and it had been in China since the war. Until the surrender, it was in Huaxia, and it was the only Devil's Division A division that was in China from the beginning of the war to the surrender.
And this shows that the combat effectiveness of the 3rd Devil's Division is simply not weaker than that of the 2nd Division and the 6th Division. Therefore, Li Yunlong would not despise the 5th Brigade of the Devil's Devil who was divided by the 3rd Division from Pangnam Station.
"Okay, since it has been decided, I order: all departments immediately change the direction of the march, cross the Yin Mountain, go east to attack Baochang, and !! quickly."
After integrating the thoughts of the commanders and fighters, Li Yunlong immediately got up and ordered!
Everyone stood up and saluted, 'Yes, Commander! And then they dispersed.
As the enemy situation changed, Li Yunlong would discuss with everyone, and the army immediately turned around and directly entered the eastern march of Yinshan. Yin Mountain is steep, at this time it is already early spring, everything is recovering, and the dense forests in the mountains are like tides.
Without the guidance of the local people, it is really possible for the army of more than 7,000 to be trapped in the mountains and unable to get out. In fact, this is also something that Matsui Shigen did not expect, and Li Yunlong's army, which deliberately went up along the northern foot of Yin Mountain, would venture into the east of Yin Mountain and attack Baochang.
It wasn't until Baochang was attacked and Matsui Shigen was urgently electrified that Matsui Shigen was amazed that Li Yunlong's decision was really bold.
Fortunately, after crossing the Yin Mountain and attacking Baochang, Li Yunlong had already contacted his own guerrillas in Chahar and sent guides who were familiar with various places in Chahar to guide the march of the army.
With the local pilot, Li Yunlong commanded the army to brazenly cross the Yin Mountain, and was stunned to pass through the mountains and mountains of the Yin Mountain, and arrived at the foot of the southern foot of the Yin Mountain.
The army crossed the Yin Mountain, exhausted, Li Yunlong ordered the army to rest in concealment after arriving at the foot of the southern foot of the Yin Mountain, and then sent the cavalry battalion Sun Desheng with a cavalry company to go out of Baochang to reconnoitre.
Baochang is located at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, located in the only way of the Duolun to Zhangbei railway line, Baochang is also regarded as the transportation artery of the Zhangduo railway, and the strategic location is still very important.
According to Li Yunlong's order, Sun Desheng cautiously led more than 100 soldiers of the cavalry company to gallop on horseback, and soon arrived near the west of Baochang!
