Chapter 360: Zhao Gang is in a hurry

Yoshio Shinozuka did not immediately respond to Taro Miyano's analysis, but pondered for a while before saying, "Miyano-kun, how many troops are there in the defenders of Wei County?" ”。

Since occupying most of the Jin Province, in order to hold most of the occupation areas of the Jin Province, the main military towns, strategic points, and transportation arteries. The divisions and regiments under the command of the First Army of the Japanese Army were like scattering beans, with thousands of troops stationed in one place and hundreds of troops stationed in that place. As a result, the 100,000 Japanese troops of the First Army were actually not many who could fight in a mobile manner.

Therefore, although this place in Wei County is important, according to the current situation of the First Army of the Japanese Army, it is estimated that there will not be many troops stationed there.

Sure enough, when Miyano Taro heard this, he remembered that the situation in the southern battlefield was tense, and many Japanese garrisons had already been dispatched to the south to reinforce most of the occupied areas of the First Army that did not need too many troops to defend.

As soon as Miyano Taro thought of this, he immediately asked the Japanese staff officers of the headquarters to quickly find the latest actual situation of the current strength of the defenders of Wei County.

In less than a few minutes, the actual strength of the current Japanese garrison in Wei County was quickly found.

"Your Excellency, the situation is not good. The defenders of Wei County only have the strength of a squadron and a small number of Imperial Cooperative Army, with a total strength of about two hundred and eighty people! Taro Miyano reported with a worried look on his face, and Taro Miyano didn't expect that there would be so few Japanese garrisons in this part of Ul County.

In this case, if you want to go out of the city to intercept the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army supported by war horses, I am afraid it is not optimistic.

And the closest Japanese army to Feihukou is only the Japanese garrison in Wei County. If the Japanese troops in other places want to rush to the direction of Feihukou to intercept Li Yunlong and others advancing north, I am afraid that it will be too late!

Yoshio Shinozuka's face was serious, once he couldn't stop Li Yunlong and others who ambushed the palace Zairen of Xianyuan, then he Yoshio Shinozuka would inevitably be laughed at by other senior Japanese officers.

In addition, the Laiyuan arsenal was seized by the Eighth Route Army, Laiyuan was lost, and it was slipped away under his nose, and Yoshio Shinozuka's face was in pain at this time.

"Wei County doesn't care, order the Wei County Garrison Department to go south and try their best to intercept the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army! This cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army near Feihukou should be the troops of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed His Royal Highness the Prince of Xianyuan Palace! At all costs, intercept this commander! In addition, Guangling was ordered to dispatch two squadrons to the southeast to reinforce the defenders of Wei County and cooperate with them to intercept! Yoshio Shinozuka quickly made a decision and said.

Miyano Taro did not immediately order the Japanese staff officers around him to issue orders, but continued to point to the map and said worriedly to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency Commander, the Guangling garrison has transferred two squadrons, so the encirclement of the new regiment base area of Hengshan that we have just deployed will be a little weakened in the east. If the new regiment in the Hengshan base area learns that the Guangling garrison has been transferred two squadrons immediately, this will be in danger of being attacked for us! ”。

Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Guangling has now increased the garrison to more than 2,000 people, and two squadrons have been sent out, and there are at least 1,500 people. Worry-free for the time being! In addition, the 108th Division of Datong dispatched an aviation squadron to the sky near Wei County, and cooperated with the defenders of Wei County to intercept and bomb the cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army that went north from Feihukou! ”。

"This? Well, Your Excellency Commander, obey your orders! "What else can Taro Miyano say at this time? He could only reply heavily, and he and several Japanese staff officers hurriedly drew up combat orders and sent them out.

At this time, when Yoshio Shinozuka transferred troops from Guangling to reinforce the defenders of Ulxian County to intercept them, and the Japanese air force at Datong Airport dispatched more than a dozen fighters to provide air support.

Li Yunlong and the others had already passed through the Flying Fox Pass, galloping towards Beiwei County.

The land of North China is in winter, and it is also in the season of rain and snow. If it were normal, the new regiment would have suffered a lot if it fought in such a situation.

Fortunately, in the previous series of battles against the Japanese army, many war horses were captured. So that at present, for Li Yunlong and others, with the support of war horses, it is much more convenient for troops to rush and mobile combat.

For example, now, Li Yunlong and others led their troops to gallop north, and soon entered the mountain road less than seven miles away from Wei County through the Flying Fox Pass.

However, several scouts from the reconnaissance detachment of a special combat team, which was the first to be the vanguard, rushed back from their horses and reported to Li Yunlong and others the latest reconnaissance of the Japanese troops.

"Regiment commander, less than five miles away from us, the Japanese army in Weixian County is heading south out of the city, and the army is marching south on foot, it seems to be in a hurry!" Zhong Hongfei, the leader of the first sub-team of the special combat team, panted and reported to Li Yunlong on the spot on horseback.

Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong to take out the map behind his backpack, spread it out to look at the terrain, and said solemnly, "Special mother, the devil is dispatched quickly, it seems that our trace has been contacted by the devil's reconnaissance plane on the ground, and the devil defenders in Wei County have been dispatched to intercept us, by the way, how many people are there in the devil?" ”。

"Commander, it has been observed that there are about two hundred and fifty to three hundred people! Among them, there are five or six light machine guns, five grenadiers, and the devil infantry has already launched a battle search to advance in formation. In addition, at the forefront, there is a small army of less than fifty puppet troops! I guess we'll be in touch in two minutes! Zhong Hongfei reported.

Duan Peng, who was on the side, answered, "Regiment commander, it seems that we didn't take the initiative to attack the Japanese defenders in Wei County, these devils all took the initiative to find death." Let's go up and kill them! ”。

Li Yunlong waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Although the Japanese army in Wei County is a garrison, its equipment is not weak. Although Lao Tzu doesn't want to fight, he can't fight if he doesn't fight! Order the cavalry troops, with light machine guns, submachine guns as cover for the assault, monk! ”。

When Wei Dayong heard Li Yunlong's words, he said excitedly for a moment, "Commander, I'm here!" ”。

"You take a cavalry squad and make a detour to the rear of the Devil troops in Wei County, attacking them from the rear and flanks. There are not many devils in Wei County, and our little people, plus the firepower of submachine guns and light machine guns, are enough to kill them all. The battle was quickly resolved, the troops did not enter and occupied Wei County, and after eating the Wei County devils who went out of the city, the team immediately continued to assemble and retreated to the direction of Guangling! Li Yunlong ordered.

Duan Peng and the others responded one after another, "Yes, head of the regiment!" Then everyone began to prepare to charge.

However, just when Li Yunlong and the others were about to meet the battle in one fell swoop and eat the devil defenders who were intercepted by Wei County, a communication soldier accompanying the army reported to Li Yunlong in an anxious whisper, "Regiment commander, political commissar urgently call!" ”。
