After capturing Peach Blossom Fort, everyone continued to rush to Juyong Pass under the command of Li Yunlong.

On the way to the rapid march at this time, Li Yunlong led the troops to rush while discussing the military situation with everyone.

"Commander, there is Huailai north of Juyong Pass, and Yanqing is closer to Juyong Pass. Once we attack Juyong Pass, we may alarm the Japanese troops in both places. What to do? When Li Yunlong ordered the troops to rest on the road for five minutes, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said to Li Yunlong worriedly, pointing to the map that Li Yunlong had spread out on the ground.

Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion on the side, also nodded, Huailai north of Juyong Pass, and Yanqing are very far from the pass. Once Juyong Pass cannot be captured for a long time, it will make the Japanese defenders of Juyong Pass send soldiers to ask for help everywhere. At that time, it was an extremely unfavorable situation for oneself.

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "Yes, therefore, Juyong Pass will be attacked at night." As long as it is at night, this Huailai, it is not easy for the Japanese troops in Yanqing to detect our sneak attack on Juyong Pass. ”。

Although Li Yunlong said so, Zhang Dabiao still made a solemn suggestion: "Regiment leader, I suggest that before the night attack on Juyong Pass, it is necessary to take Huailai and Yanqing. If there are not many Japanese defenders in these two places, after we attack the two places in a short time, at least when we attack Juyong Pass at night, we will not worry about the Japanese troops in the two northern cities going south to reinforce the defenders of Juyong Pass. At that time, we were not in danger of being flanked by enemy forces in front and rear. ”。

According to the latest information, Beiping is the location of the headquarters of the North China Dispatch Army, and the commander of the North China Dispatch Army at this time is Lieutenant General Tada Jun, and the troops directly under his control include three divisions and three independent brigades, and the strength of the troops is relatively strong. Therefore, once Huai came, there were more Japanese defenders in Yanqing, and it was not advantageous to attack Juyong Pass, and it would be very uncomfortable to encounter the situation of the defenders of the other two places going south to reinforce at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly said: "Da Biao's analysis makes sense. In this way, let's rush to the north of Juyong Pass, and first go to see the situation of the enemy forces in Huailai and Yanqing. Once there are not many devils in these two places, then kill him. If there are too many, we can only continue to risk death to go south and attack Juyong Pass at night. If the night attack on Juyong Pass is unfavorable, and the devils of the two northern cities go south to reinforce, we can only turn to the Yanshan Mountain Range to evade. ”。

"Yes, Commander! We get it! Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua nodded and said aloud, and Duan Peng, Wang Chengzhu and others on the side also nodded and agreed to this strategy.

Once the attack is unfavorable, then the only way to hide in the Yan Mountain is to the south. And Yanshan is still very wide, at least take advantage of the cold and snow at this time to hide in the deep snowy mountains, at least even if the little devil wants to chase and kill, it is difficult.

After the discussion was completed, they continued to direct the troops to march forward. Although it was daylight at this time, Yoshio Shinozuka from Taiyuan City would not have thought that Li Yunlong and others would lead an elite army out of Hengshan and run in the direction of Beiping.

A few hours later, the commanders had already rushed to the north of the Yongding River, and they were hidden near Huailai City.

Still according to the old way, Li Yunlong directly sent Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team, to lead the elite of the special combat team, taking advantage of the cover of the approaching night, to approach Huailai City for reconnaissance.

More than ten minutes later, Duan Peng withdrew with his men and horses and reported urgently to Li Yunlong and others.

"Commander, it's been investigated. The Japanese troops stationed in Huailai had the strength of a squadron, and from the prisoners of the Japanese army in Huailai, it was revealed that the Japanese troops stationed in Yanqing were also a squadron. Because these two places are close to Juyong Pass, there is no imperial army to assist in the defense of the two cities. They are all guarded by the little devils themselves, but according to the investigation, because they are close to Juyong Pass and Beiping. Therefore, the Japanese garrison in Yanqing was not highly vigilant. ”

Duan Peng squatted down in front of Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others, and reported in a low voice.

Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others nodded when they heard this, and then Li Yunlong spoke up: "Judging from the map, Huailai and Yanqing are the barrier north of Juyong Pass, and they are in the middle of the traffic artery. But both of these places are small towns, and there are not many garrisons. What we take should be relatively easy. At this time, the Japanese troops in the two places were not very alert. So let's do it! Da Biao! ”。

"Captain!" Zhang Dabiao replied in a condensed voice.

I saw Li Yunlong pointing to Huailai City, which was close at hand, and said, "You lead a battalion to attack Huailai, and the battle will be resolved within ten minutes." I will send half of Duan Peng's special combat team to cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in Huailai City, Xuanhua and other places, and cooperate with you to capture Huailai. ”。

"Understood, regimental commander, promise to complete the mission!"

Li Yunlong nodded, and turned to Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion on the side, and said, "Old Zhou, your independent battalion is attacking Yanqing, just like the first battalion, I will send the remaining half of the special combat team to cooperate with you." Wang Chengzhu's artillery was also half dispatched, the same time as the first battalion. ”。

"Guaranteed mission, Commander!" Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion, smiled and said with a low salute.

Li Yunlong immediately said: "Okay, set off immediately, fifteen minutes later, after capturing the two places." The various divisions converge on both sides of the mountain road one mile north of Juyong Pass, and here, I am waiting for you here! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua and others responded in a low voice, and then left to prepare.

Soon, with Li Yunlong's deployment, the Japanese troops in Huailai City and Yanqing City suddenly encountered a separate and fierce attack by the new regiment, one battalion and an independent battalion at the same time, less than ten minutes after the night fell. Due to the cooperation of Duan Peng's special combat team, the telephones of the Japanese squadron headquarters in the two cities could not be contacted by the outside world. And because the Japanese army only had a subordinate radio station at or above the brigade level, Huailai City and Yanqing City were attacked by Li Yunlong's troops, and the Japanese troops in Xuanhua and Zhulu who were closer to each other did not find out at all that the Japanese troops in the south had been attacked by Li Yunlong's troops.

The first battalion and the independent battalion that captured Huailai and Yanqing, after supplementing the attrition of the attack, directly left a small army in the two cities as a guard, and then the large army went straight to the rest of Li Yunlong.

After nearly forty minutes or so, the troops led by Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua would soon hide in the woods next to the mountain road one mile north of Juyong Pass with the rest of the remaining troops under the command of Li Yunlong.

Knowing that Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua had successfully completed their tasks, Li Yunlong was naturally happy and attacked Huailai, and after the two cities of Yanqing, at least north of Juyong Pass, there was no threat for the time being.

"Commander, we're back! The devil defenders in Juyong Pass are a bit much, and it is estimated that they are not easy to fight! Duan Peng, who had withdrawn, quickly threw himself into the action of reconnoitring the enemy army at Juyong Pass, and in less than ten minutes, Duan Peng withdrew and reported to Li Yunlong in a low voice.
