After quickly solving the Japanese resistance in Wudan Town, Li Yunlong and others led their troops to kill the city of Linxi County non-stop.

At this time, the Japanese army in Linxi County had closed the gates of the county and was waiting for help.

Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others stood in the woods less than 300 meters away from the south gate of the county seat and observed covertly.

After a few minutes of observation, the group retreated deep into the woods, spread out their maps and carefully discussed the details of the battle.

"Brothers, Linxi is located in the south of the Great Xing'an Mountains, north of the West Lamulun River, with Dayingzi in the east and Jingshan in the southwest. The transportation here is convenient, easy to defend and difficult to attack! The terrain is higher in the north and lower in the south! Fortunately, Linxi is very far away from Chifeng, and at this time, even if Matsui Shigen leads his troops to chase after him, it will not work for a few hours. Unless Matsui Ishine trucked the rest of his 14,000-strong 3rd Division to the north. Otherwise, we have plenty of time to attack Linsey. ”

Li Yunlong pointed to the spread map, thought about it and said.

Everyone quickly discussed, especially the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, said: "Regiment commander, according to the current situation, we have enough time to attack Linxi County. However, the northern part of the county is relatively high, so how about we concentrate our forces and attack from the north? Otherwise, if we attack the county town from the south, we will inevitably encounter condescending fire from the Japanese in the north. ”。

"Not bad! Therefore, we must concentrate our forces and launch a key attack from the north of the higher county town!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "How is the investigation of the reconnaissance team?" ”。

"Report to the regiment commander, according to our investigation, the Japanese defenders in Linxi County have a small reinforced brigade, with a total strength of 1,800 people, plus the Japanese troops who fled north from Wudan Town, I am afraid that it is around 2,000 people! In addition, there are hundreds of imperial troops in the city, and the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city is about 2,500 people. The scout captain reported.

"There are more than 2,500 Japanese puppet troops, and there are so few soldiers in the Imperial Army?" Li Yunlong was a little surprised.

You know, generally speaking, it is impossible for the devils in the county to have so many troops. In general, the Imperial Allied Army had much more troops in the county than the Japanese army, after all, the Japanese army occupied the vast Chinese towns, and the division of troops to guard greatly diluted the vitality of the Japanese army.

Therefore, the war has developed to the present, and there are not too many Japanese troops stationed in the county town. And there are too many devils in Linxi, and there are too few imperial allies. This is what makes Li Yunlong feel strange, but at present, looking at the appearance of the reconnaissance captain, he can't detect it.

No matter what, I saw Li Yunlong say: "We will concentrate our forces and attack the city from the north of the county seat." There are 2,000 devils in the city, hundreds of imperial army, and the total strength is only about 2,500 people. Although the county town of Linxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the county town that does not have much city wall protection is not our opponent. ”。

"Commander, you give the order!"

All the commanders and fighters asked for battle, and the Japanese puppet army in the city was just a piece of fat in front of everyone. Moreover, this piece of fat has time to digest and eat, don't rush, play slowly.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said with a smile: "We also observed in concealment just now, and Linxi has no city wall protection. In terms of topography, the north is higher, so we need to concentrate our forces and break into the city from the north of the county seat with the momentum of killing chickens and knives. ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "In this way, in terms of urban siege, Da Biao's first and second battalions are the most powerful. Your two battalions of 4,000 men will concentrate my troops to break into the city from the north gate of the county seat, and once you attack the city from the north gate, the overall situation will basically be decided. The third battalion and Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion were responsible for feints to attack the remaining county three gates, and the Japanese puppet army of the remaining gates was restrained to reinforce the north gate. ”。

"Understood, Captain." Zhang Dabiao and others shouted one after another!

"Okay, five minutes to prepare! Pillar, most of your artillery is concentrated outside the north gate, and the artillery covers the attack of the 1st and 2nd battalions. It's all the same old routine, familiar with it! Li Yunlong laughed at the artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu again.

Wang Chengzhu smiled, "Regiment Commander, you can rest assured, our infantry and artillery coordination is all a slippery game, and we will ensure that the task is completed." ”

"Good! Then take your place, and when the five-minute preparation time is up, look at the flares, and all the departments will attack at the same time. Strive to completely annihilate the Japanese puppet army troops in Linxi County within an hour. When we arrive, we may have a few more hours to rest in Linxi County. Li Yunlong laughed and said, but Li Yunlong knew in his heart that once the news of the attack on Linxi County came out, Matsui Shigen would inevitably order the devil's air force fighters to attack and reinforce first.

Therefore, even if you take the county seat of Linxi, it is impossible to rest in the county seat. Otherwise, waiting to be bombed by the little devil's fighter planes is not comfortable.

"Yes, Commander!!" The crowd quickly dispersed and prepared for the siege.

At this time, the Japanese army in the county town of Linxi was subordinate to a Japanese infantry reinforcement brigade under a certain unit of the 8th Division, with a strength of more than 1,800 people, which was almost equivalent to the strength of a complete Japanese army brigade plus three infantry squadrons. In addition, there were less than 400 Imperial Cooperative troops in the city, but in fact, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city was less than 2,500 people.

The county seat originally belonged to the county government compound, and in the headquarters of the Japanese army defending the city, the captain of the devil brigade, Hattori Musashi Shaozo, frowned and waited on the roof of the highest building in the county government compound, and condescendingly observed Li Yunlong's army that was completely surrounding the county seat of Linxi.

"Captain, according to Gao Tianjun's report who fled back from Wudan Town, the army outside the city is Li Yunlong's army. There are at least more than 5,000 troops, and there are at least more than a dozen artillery pieces and more than 20 mortars! Light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns, rifles were significantly superior to ours in armament. We have to wait for help! Once you go out of the city to attack, you can only kill yourself. ”

Seeing that Hattori Musashi was holding a telescope to observe the siege of Li Yunlong's army outside the city, he did not speak, looking at Hattori Musashi with a solemn look in his eyes, and the chief of staff of the brigade standing beside him, Captain Di Yezhen, stepped forward and said in a low voice.

"Chief of Staff, of course I know. More than half of the casualties of the 3rd Division under the command of General Matsui were able to be fought by Li Yunlong's troops, and I am not as ignorant as other imperial generals. It's just that I didn't expect that we would be blocked and beaten by others in Linxi City so soon! This is our shame. Hattori Musashi said expressionlessly.

To be honest, knowing that more than half of the casualties of the 3rd Division were beaten by Li Yunlong's new regiment, Hattori Musashi still couldn't believe it when he received the report from the top at that time.

It's just that it wasn't until the situation of the Japanese troops in Shangdu, Baochang, Duolun, Weichang, Chifeng and other towns being killed by the other side was determined that Hattori Musashi still gasped in his heart.

Li Yunlong's troops were so terrifying!!

"Order all the troops to defend the county seat! The chief of staff immediately sent a direct report to Senior General Matsui, urgently reporting to His Excellency the Senior General that Li Yunlong's troops had already approached the city of Linxi and were preparing to attack the defenders of our county. Although our combat power is strong, but the strength and firepower are at an absolute disadvantage, please ask for the tactical guidance of Your Excellency the General! Go and send the newspaper! Looking at the operational preparations for an encirclement attack on the county seat, Hattori Musashi knew that a decision had to be made.

"Hay, captain, do your bidding." Di Ye Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was also fortunate that Hattori Musashi, who was arrogant and despised the Chinese army, did not go out of the city to fight back!
