"Not bad, Wei County!"

Li Yunlong said: "Since we went north from the Laiyuan area, Guangling, Weixian, and Feihukou are all under the control of the fourth battalion and the first independent battalion, and this area is our territory. In the decisive battle of Wei County, Linhe Hebei Yu, and the enemy launched a decisive battle, backed by the south bank of the Sanggan River tributary of the Wei County Chengchi, can be in an invincible position. ”。

Zhang Dabiao clapped his hands and said: "What's more important is that even if the decisive battle is unfavorable." We can retreat west at any time and withdraw to the base areas. ”。

"Not bad!"

Li Yunlong praised Zhang Dabiao and said with a smile: "What's more, at this time, most of the main forces of the Japanese First Army have been transferred south and are attacking the main force of the First Theater of the National Army, and it is impossible to mobilize a large number of troops to the north in a short period of time. At this time, we returned to Wei County to wait for work, and we happened to have a decisive battle with the devils commanded by Matsui Shigen, which can be regarded as returning to the starting point! ”。

"I agree, Captain!"

"Commander, I agree too!"

"Commander, then fight in Wei County! I agree! ”

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, Ma Wenhai, Sun Desheng and Duan Peng of the cavalry battalion and other commanders and fighters all spoke out in agreement.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong got up and ordered: "Okay, all troops move immediately, and the target is south!" We crossed the Baishan Mountain directly, crossed the Sanggan River in the south, and went straight to Wei County! ”。

"Yes, Captain." The crowd stood up and saluted, and then dispersed and returned to their troops.

A few minutes later, the neat battalions and units had already taken action, and with Li Yunlong's order, the army galloped southward, all the way south from the mountain road of Baishan Mountain, and directly crossed Baishan Mountain and went directly south.

Just when Li Yunlong and others suddenly crossed directly from the Baishan Mountains to the south, the Japanese troops at the root of Matsui Shigen, who were pursuing from Zhangjiakou and westward along the Yanghe River, stepped on the muddy banks along the river to pursue and advance.

Due to the frequent rainy season, the water of the Yanghe River swelled, and the sky was already bright at this time, but soon the rain continued, and the light rain began to fall in bits and pieces, which made Matsui Ishine very angry.

"!"

Matsui Ishone stepped on the muddy dirt on the ground on the riverbank, his brow furrowed.

Due to the loss of the cavalry in the hands of the 3rd Division, especially the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the most critical part of the 3rd Division, was completely annihilated by Li Yunlong at Awl Mountain, most of the remaining divisions of the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine were almost all infantry units.

In this way, there is no large force of cavalry entangled in Li Yunlong's army, only chasing like this, I am afraid the effect is not very great.

"Your Excellency, we have been on for an hour! At present, it has been chased to the vicinity of Tianzhen! At this time, Kagesa Zhenzhao also stepped in front of Matsui Shigen and paused heavily.

Matsui Ishine raised his head and looked at the gray sky, and it was rainy from time to time, which made Matsui Ishine feel very unhappy.

"Kagesa-kun, what did the meteorological department say?" Matsui Ishine had asked Kagesa to contact the Japanese army headquarters in Beiping by radio and ask the meteorological department to see the meteorological situation in North China.

Ying Zuozhen Zhao smiled bitterly: "The meteorological department called, North China has been in the rainy season recently, and there is a great possibility that the rivers will surge. In addition, within half a month, most of it will be light rain, and some areas will be in heavy rain! ”。

"Yaga! What the hell is the weather! It may be very difficult to catch up with Li Yunlong's troops in this way. Fortunately, they did not come out with large artillery, otherwise, the speed of the pursuit of the army would have been very slow. Matsui Shigen scolded, but he was almost near Tianzhen, but he didn't find the main force of the new regiment commanded by Li Yunlong, could it be that they changed the direction of the march?

Kagezo Zhenzhao didn't realize the depression in Matsui Shigen's heart, and just continued: "Your Excellency, according to the defenders of the Imperial Army of Datong City, some reconnaissance troops were sent to the east, and there was no large force of the Eighth Route Army in the area around the main peak of Baishan Mountain!" It is estimated that Li Yunlong has already turned his head and withdrawn directly to his Hengshan base area? ”。

"It's possible!"

Matsui Ishine nodded, then waved his hand to a confidential staff officer beside him: "Map!" ”。

I saw that the devil's confidential staff officer immediately hurriedly took out a military map from the briefcase he was carrying, dragged both sides of the map with another devil staff officer, and unfolded it in front of Matsui Shigen.

Matsui Ishine and Kagesa Zhenaki, and the 3rd Division Zhang Fujita Shin watched together.

"Your Excellency, General, I think that Li Yunlong is likely to have directly led his troops across Baishan Mountain to the south! It is possible that the Sangan River has already been crossed by this time! The commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susumu, pointed to the map and analyzed.

Kagesa nodded in agreement.

Matsui Shigen looked at the map and said in a condensed voice: "If Li Yunlong leads his troops directly across Baishan Mountain to the south, then it is likely to go here." After the tributaries of the Sanggan River moved south to Wei County, they then followed the river west to Guangling, and finally withdrew to its Hengshan base area. ”。

"Your Excellency General, at present, Guangling, Weixian, Feihukou, and Laiyuan have all been occupied by the new regiment, or other Eighth Route Army troops! If Li Yunlong chooses such a path to withdraw to his base area, it is very likely. It is also the most suitable path! Shadow Zuo Zhen Zhao said in a condensed voice.

Matsui Shigen's expression was gloomy, once Li Yunlong really led his troops to withdraw to his base area, then the new Hengshan base area would be dangerously terrainous. The devil forces under the command of Matsui Ishine can only block in front of the Hengshan base of the new regiment, and if it is attacked, I am afraid it will also become a tough battle.

As for the tough battles, especially the tough battles in the narrow terrain of the mountains, Matsui Ishine is actually not very enthusiastic. On the one hand, this kind of attack was too great for the elite troops of the Japanese army, and the losses were too great to outweigh the losses.

But after the analysis, it is very likely that Li Yunlong has led his troops to cross the Sanggan River at this time.

Although the rainy season is approaching at this time, the water of the Sanggan River is also surging. However, the new regiment was not without activity in the area of the Sanggan River, and the other side was bound to find a place to cross the Sanggan River.

As soon as he thought of this, Matsui Shigen immediately ordered: "Without further ado, there is no way!" Let's go straight south, cross the White Mountain and go straight south! Immediately contact the air reconnaissance planes and ask them to reconnoiter back and forth along the Sanggan River. And conduct aerial reconnaissance in the area of Wei County and Guangling! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency General, I'll do it right away." Shadow Zuo Zhen paused heavily, and then walked away to send a telegram to contact the air force.

Matsui Ishine then commanded the rest of the main force of the 3rd Devil's Division to speed up and go directly south, not entering Tianzhen to rest.

Soon, after crossing the Baishan Mountain and heading south, and arriving at the north bank of the Sanggan River, Kagezo Zhenzhao took a telegram and sent an urgent report to Matsui Shigen: "Your Excellency, the air force has called and found a large number of cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army crossing the south and entering the city of Wei County over the tributaries and tributaries of the Sanggan River north of Wei County. The enemy cavalry seems to be at least five or six thousand men, and they are building fortifications on the north and south banks of the river to the north of the city of Wei County! ”。

"Humph! It's Li Yunlong's troops! Is this going to be a decisive battle with me Matsui Ishine in Ul County? Hearing this, Matsui Shigen knew what Li Yunlong meant, fortify the river and build a position, this is a decisive battle, Matsui Shigen couldn't help but sneer.
