"Damn! Still miscalculated! It seems that the reinforcements from Duolun who went south to reinforce Baochang did not receive the battle situation of Baochang's loss! encountered Li Yunlong's army going north, and there was less luck. ”

Matsui Shigen said hatefully, his tone calm and helpless.

Now that Li Yunlong's army has gone north to Duolun, it has been determined that Duolun may be dangerous. At present, there are only more than 300 Japanese troops left in Duolun City, and a small number of Imperial Allied troops are stationed in Duolun, once Li Yunlong's main force kills under Duolun City, Duolun's loss is inevitable.

However, at present, the main force of the Japanese army under the command of Matsui Ishine, as well as the devil troops of the 5th Brigade and the detour from the southern front, are more than an hour away from Li Yunlong's troops, and it is impossible to quickly rush to Duolun to reinforce the defenders of Duolun.

The closest Japanese unit to Duolun at present, only the Senjitu garrison on the Luan River south of Duolun can go north to reinforce the Duolun defenders.

"Map!"

Matsui Ishine thought about it, let go of his anger, and waved his hand to signal the devil staff officer who was waiting on the side to take out the map and unfold it.

The old devil Kagesa Zhenzhao, the chief of staff of the army on the side, also stepped forward and looked at the map with Matsui Ishone.

"Kagesa-kun, you see we are here, the telegram sent by the 5th Brigade a few minutes ago, they are here. It was more than half an hour away from Li Yunlong's main force. And although we have already walked out of the river valley, we can only go around the Shangdu River to Duolun, and the time required is at least twenty minutes longer than that of the 5th Brigade going north along the railway line! We can't go to the front of Li Yunlong's department to intercept it! And at the moment, the most promising thing is that Duolun City wants to hold on! ”

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency General, I'm afraid Duolun won't be able to hold it!" At present, the three infantry squadrons that Duolun went south to reinforce Baochang may no longer exist, and it is good to be able to escape from the onslaught of Li Yunlong's army of six or seven thousand men and horses in the north. Now, Captain Takagi, the commander of the air force flight who went north from Nanyuan Airport to support Baochang, has sent a call, and the men and horses of the three infantry squadrons that have gone south from Duolun have already been fighting with Li Yunlong's army. It is estimated that the battle has ended at this time, and the fate of the three infantry squadrons south of Duolun is not optimistic! And the imperial army in Duolun City is only four hundred at most, and there are a small number of imperial army, it is impossible to hold the city until our reinforcements arrive. ”。

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is a little pessimistic, after all, Duolun is not a major town at present, and it is located on the west bank of the Shangdu River, the terrain is flat, and the county seat of Baochang is the same, although there is a city wall as a barrier to defend the city. Well, however, the strength of the defenders has been greatly weakened.

Matsui Shigen had no choice, his face was gloomy, "Now there is no way, I can only go north to the garrison that ordered Senjitu." Confidential staff officer! ”

"Your Excellency, General!" A devil confidential staff officer stepped forward.

Matsui Ishone pointed to the map spread out in front of him, pointed to a location town marked on it: Senjitu, and said, "How many Imperial Army troops are here?" ”。

The confidential staff officer of the devil who responded was originally a devil staff officer sent by the Mongolian garrison to Matsui Shigen, who was responsible for guiding the Japanese garrisons in Chahar, Rehe and other places at any time.

Hearing this, he condensed in a loud voice: "Report to Your Excellency General, Senjitu is just a small town, there are not many garrisons, and there is only one squadron!" ”。

"Bagaya Road, the loss of Duolun is inevitable!"

There is only one squadron in the Senjitu garrison, which is a drop in the bucket, and this point of people going north to reinforce the garrison of Duolun to defend the city is simply to send food to Li Yunlong, and there is no point in reinforcements.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is also a little helpless, this little force is useless, and the reinforcements going north can only be sent to death.

"Your Excellency, then there is only one way, let the fleet of planes dispatched from Nanyuan Airport, which has already returned to refuel, go north again after refueling, and cooperate with the defenders of Duolun to defend the city in the air. The air support strength of our air force is strong, and at least it can unscrupulously bomb the troops of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong, who are not covered by anti-aircraft fire! At present, there is only this way, in addition, order the headquarters of the 5th Brigade to speed up the march, break through the resistance of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the railway line, and quickly go north to Duolun! The 5th Brigade is the closest to the main force of Li Yunlong's department than us! There's only one way! Your Excellency, General! ”

Hearing this, Matsui Shigen thought about it silently, and only nodded after a minute and said, "Yo Xi, there is no other way!" The communications staff officer, in accordance with the advice of the chief of staff, immediately sent a report to the commander of the 5th Brigade, Riichiro Katayama, the defenders of Duolun, and the commander of the aviation flight who went north to support the Nanyuan airfield, Captain Takagi! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency."

After receiving the order, the Devil's Communications Staff Officer paused heavily, and then walked away, asking the Devil's Radio personnel to immediately send separate reports.

Matsui Ishine ordered the Japanese troops under his command to march rapidly along the Shangdu River in the direction of Duolun, in an attempt to reach Duolun as soon as possible.

At the moment when Matsui Shigen led his troops out of the narrow valley of Yinshan and marched along the Shangdu River towards Duolun, Li Yunlong and others, who encountered three Japanese infantry squadrons from Duolun southward on the Baochang-Duolun railway line, had already led their troops to completely annihilate the devils of the three Japanese infantry squadrons in Duolun who had encountered them in less than five minutes after the return of the devil fighter group.

On the railway line, there are battlefields full of melee battles.

On the battlefield, there were the corpses of soldiers killed in battle by both the enemy and our soldiers, but Li Yunlong's department had a strong artillery, and Wang Chengzhu commanded the artillery to occupy a favorable artillery position at the first time, and fired artillery to bombard the devils fiercely.

The three Japanese infantry squadrons that went south from Duolun to reinforce Baochang did not carry artillery in order to rush as soon as possible, only a small number of mortars and grenadiers as infantry artillery support weapons.

This comparison of artillery strength, coupled with the fact that Li Yunlong still has at least 7,000 troops in his hands, and the comparison of the strength advantage of ten to one has crushed the devil troops that Duolun went south to reinforce.

In less than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the three Japanese infantry squadrons that had gone south to Duolun had been completely annihilated, and they had captured a lot!

"Regiment commander, all the devil troops who went south in Duolun were annihilated, a total of 758 enemies were annihilated, and three Japanese soldiers were captured. From the mouth of the captured devil soldiers, there is only one squadron left of the devils in Duolun City, and there are some puppet army troops, and the total strength is less than three hundred! ”

After the war, the staff officer in charge of counting the results of the battle reported to Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong, who listened, kept nodding.

"Good !!"

Li Yunlong immediately said calmly: "Order all troops to go north to Duolun immediately." The Devil's fleet will be back soon, we have to rush to Duolun first and take it! ”。

"Yes, Captain!"

With Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao and other troops who urgently cleaned up the battlefield then quickly assembled and went north, and when the Japanese aircraft group returned to the north, about fifteen minutes later, the troops finally came to the city of Duolun!
