Laiyuan, also known as Liangcheng, is located at the intersection of the three mountains of Yanshan and Hengshan in Taihang Mountain, and is the birthplace of the three sources of Laishui and Yishuiyuan in Jumayuan. It is adjacent to Laishui Yi County in the east, Shunping Fuping in Tang County in the south, Lingqiu in Jin Province in the west, and Wei County in Hebei Province in the north, so the strategic location is very important.

Li Yunlong and others crossed the Tang River to the north at this time, and soon arrived at the foot of Qishan Mountain in the south of Laiyuan City, hiding in the deep snowy woods.

"Captain! It was all clear that there was a supply depot of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City, and there was a large amount of ammunition in reserve. Mortars, grenadiers, artillery, all kinds of rifle ammunition, you name it. Also, there is a lot of food in the supply depot. According to the information provided by the lurking personnel of our army in the city, it is estimated that the contents of the supply depot are enough to supply at least 5,000 Japanese troops for a month! Duan Peng personally took a few special combat team fighters into the city to contact the intelligence officers in the city, and then after seven or eight minutes he withdrew from the city and returned to the woods at the foot of Qishan Mountain in the south of the city, and reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong motioned for Duan Peng and the others to gather around the spread map, and then Li Yunlong looked at the map when he heard this, and said in a condensed voice, "Judging from the map, the geographical location of Laiyuan is very important. Moreover, Laiyuan is protected by city walls, and there are two major rivers of Juma River and Tang River, and the transportation is convenient. A reserve ammunition indeed, as a point for a supply depot! The little devil actually has so much grain, grass and ammunition in the city, it seems that Laiyuan is indeed a good supply place for the devil to supply in all directions! In this way, since we passed by, we have wiped out the Japanese arsenal in Laiyuan! ”。

"Commander, there's one more piece of information! The strength of the Japanese army in the city at this time, there is also a squadron and about 800 imperial troops, and the strength is about 1,000 people. Although it looks like Laiyuan City is not well guarded at the moment, according to our investigation, the devils still have a lot of Japanese soldiers and a large number of puppet troops on the city wall, and the city gate is also guarded by Japanese puppet troops. Tight on the outside and loose on the inside, if we attack Laiyuan, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to succeed. We only have more than 150 people, and we have too few troops! Duan Peng said solemnly.

In fact, Duan Peng's meaning is that the disparity in strength is too great, so it is better to attack Wei County after bypassing Laiyuan and going north to Flying Fox Pass according to the previous plan.

However, Li Yunlong looked at the map silently, pondering the gains and losses.

Although Laiyuan is not an important town, its geographical location makes the Japanese army make Laiyuan a place for munitions and ammunition, grain and grass transit and supply. Here you can provide supplies to the Japanese army in the direction of Sanshan Town, Lingqiu City, and Pingxingguan, and you can also go south to supply the Japanese army in Fuping, which is very convenient.

At this time, passing by Laiyuan, he didn't want to think of a way to end up the devil arsenal in the city, Li Yunlong always felt a little regretful in his heart at this time.

After all, the arsenal of the Japanese army in Laiyuan is a piece of fat. Even if you can't eat it, then you can't let the little devil eat it.

"Made, Laiyuan has so much grain and ammunition for the Japanese army, and it is impossible to kill him when passing by like this, and the grain and ammunition in the city in the future will inevitably pose a great threat to our Hengshan base area! Labor and management have decided, and they must find a way to end it! Li Yunlong quickly made a decision.

At this time, Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, agreed: "Regiment commander, I agree to end the supply of devils in Laiyuan City!" If what Lao Duan said is right, then we can't attack and seize the grain, grass and ammunition stored by the devils in Laiyuan City, so we must destroy him. Otherwise, the threat to us in the future will be great! ”。

When Duan Peng heard this, he said, "Regiment commander, but we don't have many troops!" Although the soldiers of our special combat team are all experienced in a hundred battles, once it is a siege battle, it will be very troublesome! ”。

Regarding Duan Peng's worries, Li Yunlong said, "The devils in Laiyuan City, but the strength of one squadron, if they die, it is a full squadron, counting him two hundred and fifty people, and the rest of the Imperial Alliance Army is vulnerable in combat effectiveness." However, Duan Peng, it is not unreasonable for you to be worried, even if the Imperial Association Army in Laiyuan City is a pile of waste, it will be very troublesome if it is a street battle according to the city's stubbornness! It's really not okay if we have fewer people! ”。

"Commander, what are we going to do?" Duan Peng and Sun Desheng said in unison.

The number of troops is too small to control Laiyuan City in a short time, after all, the total strength of the Japanese puppet army in Laiyuan City at this time exceeded 1,000 people. Moreover, the Japanese army has a squadron of troops, and they are all very combat-effective units. Otherwise, it will be difficult to protect the arsenal in the city.

Therefore, even Duan Peng and Sun Desheng knew that with their current strength outside the city, it would be difficult to deal with so many enemy troops in the city in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen their own troops, otherwise they should not attack Laiyuan, so as not to encounter Sanshan Town, Lingqiu direction, and the Japanese army in the north of Feihukou to outflank them in the south, and the danger of being caught by the Japanese puppet army in the city.

Li Yunlong said to Duan Peng in a condensed voice: "You just entered the city to contact the friendly intelligence officers in Laiyuan City, do you know if there are any guerrillas in our army near Laiyuan at present?" ”。

"Captain!"

Duan Peng answered, "I asked, in the mountains near Laiyuan, the local guerrillas of our army do not have many troops near Laiyuan, probably only three or four hundred. Although the guerrillas have a good combat capability, but with us, there are only five or six hundred people, and the strength is still far less than about half of the Japanese puppet army, and the comparison is huge! ”。

"Enough troops! In fact, if there is really only one Japanese squadron left in the city, then more than 50 people from your special combat team will immediately enter the city and hide, and after finding the specific location of the devil's arsenal, wait for us to launch an upward attack outside the city, and attack the Japanese arsenal in the city as soon as possible, as long as the devil's arsenal in the city is eliminated, the task will be completed! Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.

This time, the soldiers came to Laiyuan, and they originally went north to the Flying Fox Pass through Laiyuan. Since I accidentally learned about the strength of the Japanese army and the arsenal in the city, plus the strength of the local guerrillas, it is still possible to destroy the arsenal of the devils. As for whether or not the capture of Laiyuan is really completed, there is no need!

When Duan Peng heard this, he stood up and said, "Regiment leader, if this is the case, the special combat team will guarantee to complete the task!" ”。

"Okay, you immediately take someone to contact the local guerrillas of our army in Laiyuan, and ask them to meet us in Qishan. Your special combat team will immediately disguise themselves into the city, and as for the weapons and ammunition, it is estimated that they will not be able to bring them into the city. However, the intelligence contact point of our army in the city should have weapons, so let them support you! Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.

Duan Peng nodded and said, "Leader, I understand, don't worry!" Then he hurried away.

Li Yunlong continued to order Sun Desheng to command the cavalry troops, preparing to wait until the siege of the city, and the cavalry would attack, so as to cooperate with Duan Peng, the special combat team in the city, to flank the Japanese puppet army.
