"Yo Xi, it seems that His Excellency the Admiral and we have the same idea!" Ichiro Katayama bowed his head.

Kenjiro Saito said: "In addition, according to the urgent telegram sent by the flight commander of the air support aircraft group going north at Nanyuan Airport, Li Yunlong's department has not been found for the time being. But the reconnaissance planes in the fleet are resisting reconnaissance, and if there is an enemy situation, they will immediately report to us! ”。

"Got it!"

Riichiro Katayama nodded and said, "Call them back and let them continue to investigate." Ordered all units of the brigade and regiment to speed up the march and be sure to rush to the Baicha Mountain. According to the traces left by the enemy's major shareholder, Li Yunlong must have retreated to Baicha Mountain by the command post. It has a vast area and belongs to the Xing'an Mountains, which is suitable for the army to hide and rest. ”。

"Hai, brigade commander, humble and understandable!"

Kenjiro Saito paused heavily, and then walked away to convey Riichiro Katayama's order!

With the order of Richiro Katayama, more than 10,000 little devils of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army in the rush march desperately threw off their feet and pursued eastward.

And at this time, Matsui Shigen, who had just arrived in Duolun City, looked at the ruined city, and the devils of a squadron left by Riichiro Katayama were collecting the corpses of the Japanese soldiers killed in Duolun City and the corpses of the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

"Your Excellency, the defenders of Duolun City were all killed, and only a few soldiers of the Imperial Association Army who were lucky enough to hide and hide survived!"

The chief of staff of the army, Kage Satsuaki, hurried to Matsui Shigen's side and paused heavily.

Even Ying Zuo Zhenzhao didn't expect that this was already the third town garrisoned by the devil infantry brigade and was captured by Li Yunlong.

And Matsui Ishine led a division, but he didn't catch Li Yunlong's main force, which was a great humiliation for both Kage Showa and Matsui Ishine.

Matsui Shigen's face was gloomy, and he waved his big hand and said: "Quickly pass through Duolun and pursue the eastward march, I want to catch Li Yunlong and peel him alive!" Hurry up and drop! By the way, immediately send a report to Ichiro Katayama and order him to chase Li Yunlong's main force for me at all costs. Once the army loses Li Yunlong's traces in Baicha Mountain, it will be even more difficult to catch Li Yunlong's main force in the full forest! ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency General, I understand my humble duties!" Of course, Kagezo Zhenzhao knew that Baicha Mountain belonged to the Xing'an Mountains, and the Xing'an Mountains were densely forested and stretched for a long time.

Once the traces of Li Yunlong's main force are lost, it will be difficult to catch the traces of Li Yunlong's main force again in the full forest.

Therefore, even though the 5th Brigade was in danger of going deep alone at this time, and there was a distance of at least 30 to 40 minutes from most of the 3rd Division under the command of Matsui Ishine, Matsui Ishine still ordered the report.

What's more, the 5th Brigade under the command of Riichiro Katayama has more than 10,000 soldiers, and they are all the most capable divisions in the core of the 3rd Division.

Therefore, for Matsui Ishone, there is no way to do it at this time.

It is urgent to catch the traces of Li Yunlong's main force as soon as possible, otherwise once Li Yunlong's main force loses its trace, things will be a little troublesome.

With Matsui Ishine's order, the main force of the Japanese army that quickly passed through Duolun City rushed eastward, and also threw off his feet and continued to pursue.

At this time, Riichiro Katayama had already accelerated his speed and pursued eastward according to Matsui Ishone's orders. Soon, they chased to Baicha Mountain.

It wasn't until an elite Japanese reconnaissance force was sent to reconnoiter near the main peak of Baicha Mountain that Riichiro Katayama made a major discovery.

"Report to the brigade commander, chief of staff, we found traces of a large number of men and horses stationed in the forest south of the main peak of Baicha Mountain, there are many footprints on the ground, at least five or six thousand troops are resting there! On the ground, there is also a large amount of garbage thrown away after eating the marching dry food! At present, after reconnaissance, this enemy force has moved to the north of the main peak of Baicha Mountain! ”

The commander of the reconnaissance unit belonging to the 5th Brigade Regiment who returned from reconnaissance personally reported to Riichiro Katayama and Kenjiro Saito!

"Hurry up, map!"

Riichiro Katayama waved his hand and motioned for the devil staff officer on the side to bring the map.

I saw a devil staff officer hurriedly out of the map, and then unfolded it on the cover of Ichiro Katayama's car!

"Chief of Staff, judging from the map, we are here now, and Li Yunlong's army used to rest here at the foot of the mountain south of the main peak of Baicha Mountain. The forest here is dense, and flying low from a low altitude will not be able to detect the rest of the army below. No wonder the reconnaissance planes of the aviation did not detect each other! The main force of the new regiment has been transferred to the north of the main peak of Baicha Mountain, where the terrain is more hidden and the area is very large, which is also suitable for the army to continue to rest and hide! ”

Kenjiro Saito nodded and said, "Not bad, brigade commander!" It can be seen from this that Li Yunlong is very cunning. Brigade commander, what shall we do? Do you want to continue the pursuit? To the north of Baicha Mountain are mountainous areas with denser forests, with high trees that cover the sky and the sun, and I am afraid that the fighters of the air force are unlikely to be of too high a role. Unless we are able to exchange fire with the enemy's main forces at close range, it will be possible to guide the air fighters to bomb in concrete terms. ”。

"Your Excellency the General has already issued a strict order, asking our department to resolutely pursue the main force of Li Yunlong's department! Every time you don't enter, it's not a reason to stop the pursuit of our imperial army! Order the brigade units to continue the pursuit and advance! Let the 6th Wing send a rapid reaction squadron to advance prominently, and once Li Yunlong's main force is discovered, he will immediately beat me hard. Otherwise, in this kind of forest, we will sometimes lose our direction and be uncertain. Ichiro Katayama said in a condensed voice!

"Hay, Brigade Commander! Humble duty understands! I'll do it right away! ”

Kenjiro Saito paused heavily, and then waved his hand to signal several devil staff officers on the side to deploy immediately.

With the order of Ichiro Katayama, more than 10,000 Japanese troops of the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Little Devil continued to go deep into Baicha Mountain, bypassing the south of the main peak of Baicha Mountain and pursuing northward.

At this time, according to Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao and other troops had already opened up their posture and built three blocking positions at intervals equivalent to one mile between the north of the main peak of Baicha Mountain and Weijiatun less than three miles, and all of them were deployed in dense forests.

Li Yunlong, who commanded all departments to build positions according to the plan, placed the headquarters on the hill on the side of Weijiatun and commanded as a whole!

"Da Da Da!" , "Boom, boom!! ”。

Suddenly, the sound of dense gunfire came from a distance, Li Yunlong had already heard it, and muttered in his heart, it was time to exchange fire with the 5th Brigade of the little devils!

"Report to the regiment commander, the commander of the first battalion came to report that the forward position of the first battalion was attacked by a squadron of the Japanese army. The squadron of little devils fought for a few minutes and then retreated! The first battalion asked for instructions, whether to send troops to attack? ”
