Chapter 310: Siege and Reinforcements
Kotaro Yokoyama, who is familiar with Chinese historical allusions, naturally knows what a sheep and a drum mean.
No wonder there was a chaotic sound of drums on the blocking position of the new regiment. Previously, Kotaro Yokoyama thought that the new regiment deliberately provoked them to continue to attack the blocking position, but he didn't expect that this was to cover the withdrawal of the blocking troops!
At this time, it is night, and it is easier to take advantage of the situation to evacuate the position.
Koji Kitano on the side immediately said: "Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。
Soon, more than 1,200 Japanese soldiers under Kotaro Yokoyama's command, who were still able to move immediately, pursued north through Ushimura under the leadership of Kotaro Yokoyama.
At this time, when Kotaro Yokoyama was angry and led the Japanese army to chase the new regiment north to block the troops.
Li Yunlong's main force of more than 900 people had already entered the Wutai Mountain area, and marched along the edge of the mountain to the northeast of Qinxi Mountain, braving the wind and snow.
The war was fought without discrimination for both sides, and the new regiment of soldiers who marched rapidly in the night were marching on the snow-covered mountain roads one by one.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers of the new regiment were native to Jin Province, although some were soldiers from southern provinces, but they had fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Jin Province for many years, and they were already familiar with the rapid march on the mountain roads in Jin Province. Walking on the ground is already a common thing.
At the edge of the western foot of Wutai Mountain, walking on an unknown mountain road, more than 900 people of the main force of the new regiment braved the wind and snow to march rapidly.
"Regiment commander, the blocking force has called! They have withdrawn from their blocking positions and, following the marks we left behind, are lightly chasing after us! The casualties of the blocking force were not large, only eleven soldiers died, and the rest of the soldiers who were not injured were still able to follow the blocking force to chase us! In the midst of the rapid march, Li Yunlong soon received a telegram report from the soldiers of the radio team.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong stopped on the side of the road and quickly said in a condensed voice: "Call back immediately, let them advance lightly towards Qin Xishan, and speed up to catch up with us!" And we will meet near Pingxingguan! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" The soldier in charge of the radio station stood up and saluted, and immediately turned around and went back to send the report!
At this time, Li Yunlong asked the team of the rapid march to temporarily stop and rest on the spot for five minutes, and summoned Zhang Dabiao and other major battalion commanders to spread maps on the roadside on the spot to discuss the next battle plan.
When everyone gathered around the map, Li Yunlong immediately pointed to the map and said, "Brothers, we are here at the moment!" It's not far from the Pingxingguan in the north of Qinxi Mountain! The latest situation of the Japanese pursuing force is that, according to the telegram sent by the blocking force, we have at least an hour and a half away from the Japanese troops under Kotaro Yokoyama! For us, the Japanese troops behind us are no longer able to threaten us for the time being! ”。
"Commander, what is your next battle plan?" Zhang Dabiao was the first to speak up, and as soon as Li Yunlong's words came out, Zhang Dabiao knew that his regiment commander had a combat goal.
The rest of Zhou Hua, Ma Wenhai and others already smiled and agreed with Zhang Dabiao's words.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "According to the telegram sent by Zhao Gang, although we have built a large number of fortifications in the Hengshan base area, especially the reinforced concrete bunker fortifications have been built at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge, the only way to enter Hutou Mountain. Artillery and machine guns are deployed, and they are very strong. But the little devils have already secretly assembled Japanese troops in Hunyuan City, Pingxingguan, Lingqiu County and Guangling, and the battle to besiege Hengshan soon began! My plan is that I must take advantage of the way to retreat north to Hengshan, first break through the Japanese army besieging Hengshan, and disrupt the military deployment of the Japanese army to attack Hengshan! ”。
At this time, Zhou Hua looked at the map, and suddenly said: "Regiment commander, what do you mean, the Japanese army who fought the Pingxing Pass?" ”。
"Lao Zhou, you kid reacts very quickly!" Li Yunlong nodded, pointed to the military map and said, "Not bad, Pingxingguan!" ”。
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Pingxingguan connects Yanmen Pass and Lingqiu County, and is the main road of Xiongguan in northern Shanxi, with steep terrain. Although our Eighth Route Army had won the Battle of Pingxingguan before, it was later abandoned, allowing the Japanese army to reoccupy this place! At this time, the Japanese army also secretly gathered troops at Pingxingguan, preparing to send troops to meet the Japanese army in Lingqiu County and other places to re-launch a siege on the base area of my new regiment in Hengshan! Therefore, we retreated northward, and since we passed through the Pingxing Pass, we should first break through the Japanese troops of the Pingxing Pass! What do you think? Brothers! ”。
"I agree, Captain! Although the brothers are a little tired from the rapid march, the big guys are used to it, and even if they rush to the vicinity of Pingxingguan, they can immediately enter the battle! The third battalion commander Ma Wenhai said with a smile.
Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua also nodded in agreement, this time the division retreated north and passed through the Pingxing Pass, and it didn't hurt to fight!
Li Yunlong didn't expect that these guys didn't even oppose it, but he thought that several of their battalion commanders were brought out by themselves, and they were not afraid of heaven and earth.
What's more, the morale of the new regiment is now strong, and if it wants to attack Pingxingguan, the morale is also howling!
"Well, since the brothers all agree. Then tie the level! According to the telegram sent by Zhao Gang, the Japanese garrison at Pingxingguan at this time only had three infantry squadrons, but only six or seven hundred people. Although this period took advantage of the fact that our main force was out of Hengshan, we secretly stationed Japanese troops with stragglers. Up to now, according to reconnaissance, the Japanese defenders at Pingxingguan have now reached more than 850 people. However, most of these Japanese troops are garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness is three percent weaker than that of the elite troops of the Japanese army! Li Yunlong analyzed.
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "According to the comparison between the enemy and us, we must mobilize some troops to support! ”。
"Captain! Now we add the company of them who have caught up behind, and there are more than 1,200 people in total, which should be enough! Zhang Dabiao said loudly.
Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "Although the brothers have good combat effectiveness, the terrain of Pingxingguan needs us to have more troops. No, we have to mobilize the Japanese defenders at Pingxingguan and transfer part of the Japanese army! ”。
Zhou Hua on the side quickly paid attention and said: "Let a guerrilla force of our army near Lingqiu County attack Lingqiu County to force the Japanese army in Pingxingguan to send reinforcements!" ”。
"Lao Zhou, your method is good! But there are fewer troops, like this! Send a report immediately, ask the political commissar to contact the guerrillas near Lingqiu County, and let the political commissar dispatch a battalion of troops from the base area to jointly attack Lingqiu City! Mobilize the Japanese army at Pingxingguan to send reinforcements! Li Yunlong ordered with a smile!
Zhang Dabiao immediately said: "Regiment commander, I know, ambush on the valley on the west side of Pingxingguan. Besiege the city for reinforcements! ”。 Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Li Yunlongclaw, God of War of the Anti-Japanese War" for free reading for the first time.
