After receiving Tian Junliu's reply, Genguchi Yishin and Aoto Jitaro in Kaifeng City were overjoyed, and they continued to dispatch troops to prepare to launch an encirclement and suppression operation against the main cavalry under the command of Li Yunlong after locking the position of the main cavalry under the command of Li Yunlong, and waiting for the two reinforced brigades to arrive in place.

At this time, the left bank of the Huiji River! In the woods by the river, a cavalry team marched down the river to the south, aiming to reach Tuocheng.

"Buzz !!"

The roaring sound of planes flew from the southeast, and after arriving at the Huiji River, they conducted reconnaissance along the north and south of the river, but after finding that there was nothing abnormal on the ground, they flapped their wings and flew away.

The woods on the left bank of the Huiji River are relatively dense, and as long as the cavalry is hidden, as long as they do a good job, it is not a problem at all for Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others who are familiar with mountain and forest operations.

"Division commander, the devil reconnaissance plane flew away! This is the fourth wave of reconnaissance along the north and south of the Huiji River! Zhang Dabiao stood up and said to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong looked at the devil's reconnaissance plane flying north along the Huiji River, and it was estimated that it was flying in the direction of Kaifeng.

"Order the troops to continue south. Damn, the devil's reconnaissance is frequent, and without aviation power, we have no way to deal with it! It's only possible to march so stealthily! Although it took time, the 35th Division of the Devil Regiment had most infantry, and there were very few cavalry. According to the information provided by our underground intelligence personnel operating in the vicinity of Henan Province, there is only one cavalry wing in the 35 th Division of Yuankou Yixin, with a strength of only 980 people. If we dare to come out, we will swallow this cavalry wing alive. Hum! Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao.

There was already a herald on the side who took the order to leave, but Zhang Dabiao heard the words and said: "Division commander, continue to go south, do you really want to attack Tuocheng?" ”。

"Not bad!"

Li Yunlong turned over and ordered the troops to continue to advance south, and said to Zhang Dabiao, who was also on his horse: "Tuocheng is already far away from Kaifeng, let's deal with the devils in southern Henan first." If the source in Kaifeng City is not in a hurry, our army will continue to move south along the river and focus on attacking Bozhou. Then from Bozhou, you can attack Yongcheng to the north, attack Xuzhou City, or cut off the Longhai line. You can also go south from Yongcheng and approach the Fengyang area! You can also attack Luyi, Huaiyang, Zhoujiakou, and Wuyang to the west after capturing Bozhou, and attack and advance to the west of Henan! In the western part of Henan, there are many mountains, which is more conducive to the pursuit of the infantry who dragged the devil to death with cavalry! ”。

"In other words, we have the advantage of cavalry, even if the devils have air superiority. As long as we are concealed in place, the advantage of cavalry is enough to expand! ”

At this time, Shen Qun, Ma Wenhai and several other commanders and fighters rushed to Li Yunlong's side, and nodded when they heard the words.

"Alright, brothers, speed up and quickly kill the city! Tuocheng is also a big city, with a population of more than 300,000. Let's take Tuocheng, we can resupply and rest for the time being! Li Yunlong pointed to the south and said with a smile.

"Yes, Commander."

Everyone laughed!

Then, with Li Yunlong's order, there was a cavalry army of more than 14,000 horses, marching south along the road on the left bank of the Huiji River, and advancing towards Tuocheng.

At this time, in Kaifeng City, although Yuankou Yixin had already received a call back from Tian Junliu, he dispatched two cavalry brigades under the jurisdiction of the 12th Army of the Devil stationed in Ludi to quickly reinforce the area in eastern Henan.

However, in a short period of time, at least three or four hours may not be able to reach the eastern Henan area.

"Pedaling !!"

The sound of footsteps came, and Yuankou turned his head to see that it was the communications staff officer of the division headquarters walking quickly, "Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance plane is calling!" ”

"Bring it!"

The devil's communications staff officer hurriedly handed the message in his hand to the old devil Genguchi Yixin!

Jitaro Aoto, chief of staff of the division and regiment on the side, was in a hurry, and he couldn't see the telegram sent by the reconnaissance plane at the first time!

But soon less than a minute, Genguchi single-mindedly handed the message in his hand to Jitaro Aoto.

After reading it, Aoto Jitaro was also quite helpless.

To be honest, the weather in most parts of Henan Province suddenly started to be bad today, and visibility was low! The clouds are enlarged, and it is estimated that there will be light rain.

The rain and fog began to increase, and when it rained in spring, the weather was unpredictable!

"Your Excellency Division Commander, in such weather, I am afraid that even if the reconnaissance plane takes the risk of resisting reconnaissance, it is impossible for the visibility to fly to about 30 meters above the ground to reach the ground for reconnaissance!" Aoto Jitaro said a little helplessly.

Genguchi was annoyed and said, "This ghost weather is really infuriating! Send a telegram to the scout planes and let them show the courage and perseverance of the empire and do their best to reconnoitre! In this kind of weather, if the enemy cavalry can't be found, things will be a bit troublesome! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The communications staff officer of the 35th Division of the Devil stumbled heavily, and then walked away.

Qingtou Jitaro was also helpless, and at this time, Genguchi said wholeheartedly: "Chief of Staff, call Taikang and Takujo to see the situation in the two places!" ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander!"

Two minutes later, Jitaro Aoto hung up the phone and walked to Genguchi's side, "The division commander, the defenders of Taikang and Takujo reported that there was no sign of a large force of enemy cavalry attacking!" ”

"This is difficult, could it be that this cavalry army of Li Yunlong did not go south along the Huiji River, but attacked in other directions?"

Genguchi looked at the huge military map in front of him and muttered!

Judging from the map, if the cavalry army sent by Li Yunlong went south to Yu Province, the most valuable target of the attack should be to cut off the Longhai line, so that the more than 100,000 devils who were fighting in the Zhongtiao Mountain area through the Longhai line would lose a railway transportation supply line.

This is a very important supply line for the devils who end the battle in Nakajo Mountain as soon as possible. If this Longhai line is cut off, then the supply of devils to the Zhongtiao Mountain area will not be replenished in time.

This was a great disaster for Naosaburo Okabe, the commander of the First Army of the devils who commanded the front line of Nakajo Mountain.

Genguchi looked at the map intently, his brows furrowed, and the chief of staff of the division, Jitaro Aodo, who was on the side, didn't speak, just looked at Genguchi quietly!

"According to the time, it is already eleven o'clock in the morning, and the reconnaissance aircraft have not found the main force of the enemy's cavalry. Such a large force of cavalry, if it is still near the west of Neihuang, then it is a huge threat to the Longhai line! ”

The source mouth is open!

Aoto Jitaro said: "Division commander, the other side is cavalry, and the mobility is strong. The target of the attack can be to cross the Huiji River to the west and attack Qixian and Xutong! In this way, it is completely able to drag our attention. When the time comes, you can also attack the Longhai line! ”。

"Now I don't know where the main cavalry of the other side is hiding! Now the weather is not right, and the reconnaissance aircraft will not be able to detect the main cavalry of the opposing side! It's so hard! The corners of Yuankou's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly.
