"Commander, the terrain is still the same as before. Most of the positions we first set up ambush here are still there. It's just that due to the rain, most of the trenches are waterlogged. However, it is not large, and the ministries have already begun to move to drain the water and actively prepare for the ambush. Less than five minutes after arriving at the ambush site, a regimental staff officer reported to Li Yunlong the latest situation around the ambush position on the battlefield.

Li Yunlong stood at an altitude of more than 600 meters above sea level at the foot of the east-west mountain range in the northern part of Heng Mountain, near the ambush site, overlooking the triangular basin at the foot of the mountain. Condescendingly, you can control the ambush of the whole field!

Hearing this, Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "Order all troops, according to the plan, to hurry up and build fortifications. ”。

"Yes, Captain." The staff officer of the regimental headquarters immediately responded, and then left with a brisk march to send people to give orders to the various departments.

Waving his hand, Li Yunlong said to Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion who was calling from the side: "Sun Desheng, immediately send an elite cavalry detachment to the west to covertly reconnoiter the movements of the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army coming from the west along the river. Let the reconnaissance cavalry squad bring two radios, be safe, and report to the command at any time if there is a situation. ”。

"In addition, you command the cavalry battalion to be responsible for strangling the Japanese troops who broke through after the end of the ambush!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Sun Desheng nodded, responded with a smile, and then immediately prepared.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong picked up the binoculars and observed the surroundings of the ambush site. God seems to have shrouded the new ambush site with layers of rain and fog with not very high visibility, which is more conducive to the ambush of various departments.

"It's really the blessing of the Chinese ancestors, this weather is suitable for the army to ambush! Hahaha, the devils of the 53rd Brigade, I don't know how far away the distance from death is now? ”

Li Yunlong put down the telescope in his hand, stretched out his hand to let the small raindrops fall on his hand, and laughed.

At this time, the devil unit of the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army, which Li Yunlong had in mind, was marching eastward along the south bank of the Sanggan River under the command of the brigade commander Kitano Takusai.

Due to the continuous rain, although the rain was not heavy, it caused muddy ground. In particular, most of the roads on both sides of the Sanggan River are dirt roads, and the continuous rain causes the dirt roads to immediately become muddy and difficult to walk.

As a result, the two Japanese artillery squadrons carried by the 37th Brigade of Kitano Takusai's department, about one artillery brigade, a total of twelve Type 92 infantry guns, could be disassembled and acted with the army. But it still slowed down the rapid march of the 37 brigade.

For Kitano Takusai, artillery is an overhead covering weapon, and the 110th Brigade of the 31st Division is far slower than them at this time.

In order to ensure that the artillery moves with the army, Kitano Takusai had to slow down, anyway, the 11th Brigade of the 31st Division was slower than them! It's not a bad thing to slow down a bit.

But the damn ghost weather still annoyed Kitano Takusai. You know, if there was no reinforcement of Matsui Shigen, he should have slept in Datong City at this time.

"Brigade commander, I'm afraid I can't go up fast! The road was really difficult to walk, and all the artillery had been disassembled and placed on horseback to follow the army's actions according to the order of the brigade commander. However, he was worried that if he encountered an enemy ambush, the artillery would not be able to cover the artillery fire in the first time in a short period of time! ”

Sugigataro, who was standing beside Kitano Takusai and watching the long Japanese army march along the south bank of the Sanggan River along the muddy road, whispered, while throwing off the rain on his body, looking very helpless. 135 Chinese

This ghost weather is really not a good weather for sending troops to fight.

Due to the continuous rain, it seems that God is embarrassing Kitano Takusai's 53rd Brigade. The devil soldiers who marched in the team were all watered by the rain at this time, and they all became soup chickens!

The sound of sighing and sighing came from time to time in the ranks of the devil's march, and it was clearly heard by Kitano Takusai and Sugi Kamataro!

"None of the scouts sent out on both sides to search and advance found the enemy, indicating that we are still safe in this area. It is estimated that Li Yunlong is cleaning up the battlefield in Wei County at this time, if he hears that the imperial army of our two brigades is attacking Wei County, maybe he has already withdrawn from Wei County and moved towards his old nest Hengshan base area! When the war was long and long, Li Yunlong saw the imperial army of our two brigades heading south, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not have the determination to hold on to Wei County. ”

After a pause, Kitano Takusai said, "Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be a large number of enemy troops ambushing along the line here. Therefore, in order to speed up the march, the artillery had to be disassembled, so as not to be unable to move with the army, and it would be troublesome to fall behind! Forget it, let's not talk about it, order all troops, overcome difficulties, and speed up! ”。

"Yes, Brigade Commander."

Seeing that Kitano Takusai suddenly said this, Sugi Kamataro also immediately stood up for the right path, and then sent someone to carry out the order.

At this time, what Kitano Takusai didn't know was that Li Yunlong's 12,000 elites relied on the support of war horses regardless of fatigue. The rapid march to the north had secretly advanced to the ambush site, and there was the only way for Kitano Takusai's headquarters.

Otherwise, Kitano Takusai would not take the ambush place where the main force of the new regiment would have to take a detour from the north bank of the ambush site to the mouth of the tributary river in the direction of Weixian in the south of the Sanggan River in order to make peace with the 31st Brigade of the 110th Division.

And this detour has taken a lot of unjust roads.

Therefore, he still did not expect that Li Yunlong would be in Kitano Takusai, who learned that the enemy army in Datong was continuing to attack south to Wei County, and was already leading his troops step by step towards Li Yunlong's second ambush triangle basin site.

Kitano Takusai led his troops along the Sanggan River to the ambush site of the New First Regiment and was only a short distance away, when they were soon discovered by the soldiers of a cavalry reconnaissance squad of the cavalry battalion sent by Li Yunlong.

Although Kitano Takusai also sent a reconnaissance and search force to investigate and advance along the road, he was still not found under the veteran of the cavalry battalion reconnaissance team!

Mu Jiazhi, the leader of the reconnaissance squad of the cavalry battalion in charge of the reconnaissance, took a few soldiers to hide in the grass between the woods, holding binoculars to observe a road on the south bank of the Sanggan River.

"Made, devil! Captain! Look there! Suddenly, a soldier whispered to Mu Zhijia, and his right hand carefully pointed in the direction of the west side of the road on the south bank of the Sanggan River.

Mu Zhijia immediately took the telescope and changed the direction to take a look, and suddenly gasped, "The devil is coming so fast!" Brothers, withdraw! ”

The reconnaissance detachment hurriedly retreated cautiously from the grass where it was hidden and observed, and after finding a place far away from the hidden war horse, it rode its war horse to the ambush site and retreated.

In less than a few minutes, Mu Zhijia, the leader of the reconnaissance detachment who returned to Li Yunlong's headquarters on the high ground and on the top of the mountain, reported to Li Yunlong that the main force of the 53rd Brigade of the 37th Division of the Devil had arrived soon!
