A few minutes later, Li Yunlong led the rest of the troops into the city from the direction of Xicheng and met with Zhang Dabiao and others.

"Regiment commander, after less than fifteen minutes of fierce fighting, we have annihilated a total of more than 1,080 Japanese troops in Licheng and captured countless weapons and ammunition. In addition, he killed more than 40 officers below the rank of 77th Wing of the 39th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, Captain Goro Mano, and Ryungoro Sato, Chief of Staff of the Wing. Everyone gathered in the team headquarters of Goro Mano, and soon Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team who temporarily counted the results, reported to Li Yunlong excitedly.

Li Yunlong nodded, walked to the place where Mano Gorou was killed, and saw that Mano Goro, the old devil, had already been beaten into a sieve, and he couldn't die anymore.

"The brothers are all fighting well, by the way, Da Biao, you broke through the Japanese 77th Wing Headquarters, did you capture the personnel of the Devil Wing Headquarters?" Li Yunlong suddenly asked Zhang Dabiao on the side.

Zhang Dabiao immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Commander, the brothers killed Goro Mano and searched for it, but they didn't find a single living devil." It may be that the brothers fought too hard, even if the devils in the devil wing here want to surrender, it is estimated that it will be too late! Hey, hey, hey! ”。

"Forget it, has the devil radio been seized?"

Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said, "No, according to the situation of the soldiers cleaning the 77th Wing of the Devils, there are five Devil Communication Corps in front of the radio, and they did not pick up weapons at the last moment." Commander, I think that this old devil may have warned his superior troops through the radio within a minute or two before he was killed! ”。

"Made!" Li Yunlong frowned and said, "This is a bit troublesome." It is estimated that the old devil Mano Goro may have realized our identity, and this old devil is very likely to send a report directly to the military headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese army in the direction of Taiyuan! ”。

At this time, without waiting for Zhang Dabiao to answer, a soldier soon came to report, "Regiment commander, an urgent telegram has been sent from the outer guard post five miles outside the city, and the Japanese reinforcements in Xiangyuan on the west side of Licheng are not far from us!" ”。

"Damn it, it's coming so fast! How many centaurs? Li Yunlong asked with a sneer.

"It was observed that the Japanese troops who came from the direction of Xiangyuan for reinforcements only had about one squadron, about two hundred people. There will be no more than three hundred! ”

At this time, He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said, "Regiment commander, Xiangyuan's devils are not enough for us to stuff our teeth, ambush and kill them!" ”。

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing beside He Yongjie, nodded and agreed, this devil is at a disadvantage in comparison with his current strength. There is no reason for their side to be afraid of the Japanese troops who will rush to Licheng as soon as possible from the direction of Xiangyuan. A squadron can kill more than 250 people at most, and with the current strength of He Yongjie's battalion, it is 100% no problem to ambush and eat them.

What's more, now capture Licheng and annihilate the Japanese army in Licheng. The new regiment captured a large number of weapons and ammunition of the Japanese infantry brigade in Licheng, and the ammunition supply was sufficient.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, this bit of devil is indeed not enough for us to stuff our teeth." Now it is estimated that the Japanese troops who rushed from Xiangyuan to reinforce Li Cheng probably did not expect that we would take Li Cheng within 20 minutes. Haha, He Yongjie! ”。

"Captain!" He Yongjie smiled and said.

Li Yunlong didn't talk nonsense, and quickly issued an order: "You take the four battalions, ambush me and kill this Japanese army that rushed to the outside of Licheng first, and eat them completely." How long does it take? ”。

"Well, it can be solved in ten minutes!" He Yongjie said sonorously.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and shook his head, "Lucheng, the Japanese reinforcements from Shunping and Pingping will arrive in Licheng after a short time apart." You only have seven minutes to get rid of this Japanese army! I'm mobilizing 300 men for you to increase the strength and firepower of the ambush! ”。

"Understood, regimental commander, promise to complete the mission!" He Yongjie immediately became serious, stood up and saluted heavily, and then immediately turned around and left to take the fourth battalion to set off urgently.

After that, after Li Yunlong watched He Yongjie lead his troops out of the direction of Xicheng to ambush the Japanese troops in Xiangyuan to reinforce Licheng, he beckoned Zhang Dabiao and other commanders and fighters of the main rest of the new regiment to continue to look at the spread map and discuss the next move.

I saw Li Yunlong say, "Brothers, look, now we are in Licheng. According to the policy of the political commissar of the Hengshan base area and our mobile operations on the periphery, we still won't stay in Licheng for long. If we stop at Li Cheng for a long time, we will inevitably be surrounded and trapped by the Japanese troops around us. Therefore, the next action is to finally evacuate Licheng, and the troops continue to move into battle! The big guys are talking about it, what should we do next? ”。

"Regiment commander, at present, we have captured Li Cheng, and there are two directions of attack next." Zhang Dabiao pointed to the unfolded military map and said.

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Da Biao, talk about it!" ”。

"One is Lao He's fourth battalion, after killing a squadron of Japanese troops reinforcing Licheng from Xiangyuan, we will assemble and attack in the direction of Xiangyuan. Then you can go north from Xiangyuan to Huting, drive directly to Xingcheng, attack Dagu, Xugou, Qingyuan and other southern Taiyuan peripheral barrier cities, and attack Taiyuan! ”

Li Yunlong was a little surprised and said, "Haha, Da Biao, your kid's march is a bit far!" What about the other direction of attack? ”。

"Commander, another direction of march is to go southwest from Xiangyuan Licheng to attack Lucheng and Shunping to the southeast. However, after leaving the city from Licheng, it makes little sense to go southeast to attack Shunping. After going southwest to attack Lucheng and capture this city, you can continue to attack Changzhi, Huguan, Gaoping, and then continue to attack Tianjingguan and Miyang after capturing Mozhou, and then cross the Yellow River to attack Mengjin and coerce Luoyang! ”

Zhang Dabiao paused and continued, "After capturing Mozhou, you can go west to Yangcheng, Mishui, Yicheng, Quwo, and threaten the southern section of the Tongpu Railway!" Commander, what do you think? ”。

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "You kid has a good analysis!" But if this happens, we will have to defeat a lot of Japanese troops along the way! Moreover, no matter which way is attacked along the way, the towns held by the Japanese along the way may need to be captured. I thought about it, but I still chose to march west from Mozhou, hit Yangcheng, and threaten the southern section of the Tongpu Railway as soon as possible! ”。

"Commander, I listen to you!" Zhang Dabiao said with a smile, although it seems not simple, but the battle fought by the troops of the new regiment is not simple. What's more, attacking the towns guarded by the Japanese army along the way doesn't actually need to be taken one by one, it just depends on whether the situation needs it or not.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunlong ordered everyone: "After the troops quickly clean up the battlefield, replenish the grain, grass and ammunition, and the weapons and ammunition of the devils that can't be taken away are all blown up by me!" Prepare to evacuate Licheng and attack Lucheng in the south! Send someone to rule the fourth battalion commander He Yongjie, and let him eat the Japanese troops from Xiangyuan, and then he will go south with us to attack Lucheng as soon as possible! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" A herald responded.
