"Brigade commander, after we eat the enemy army in Huairen, where will we go in the direction of maneuver next?" At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the head of the first regiment, suddenly spoke up.

Several regiment commanders and fighters around them turned their heads and looked at Li Yunlong, and the big guys all had the same question.

Li Yunlong didn't expect Zhang Dabiao to ask so quickly, but he quickly came back to his senses, waved his hand and asked Wei Dayong, who was on the side, to take out a map of Jin Province with one in 500,000 from his briefcase and unfold it on the table.

"This is Huairen, Datong in the north, Daiyue, Shanyin, Guangwu, Yangmingbao, Yuanping, Xinkou, Huangzhai, Xiangyang and a series of towns along the Tongpu Railway in the south. Our goal this time is not only to take the initiative to attack, but also to take advantage of the fierce battle between the main force of the Japanese First Army and the main force of the First Theater of the Nationalist Army on the southern front. It is also responsible for completing the task of partially indirectly supporting the main force of the First Theater of the National Army in Zhongtiao Mountain. ”

After a short pause, Li Yunlong drank his saliva and continued: "So, after capturing Huairen and deterring Okabe Naosaburo, we will quickly evacuate from Huairen next. There are two directions of attack, it should be from Huairen after evacuating, westward through the Hongtao Mountains to continue westward, the cavalry vertically and horizontally, arc to kill the Hubao, Pinglu area, to the Yellow River Dong'an towns along the Yellow River, such as Biguan, Hequ, Baode, etc., to beat the little devils in the northwest of Jin. The other direction of attack was to move south all the way to Daiyue and San'in, and attack the Japanese troops stationed along the Tongpu Railway in towns along the line, which were not many troops, in order to attract the attention of Okabe Naosaburo and reduce the defensive pressure of the main force of the Nationalist Army in the first theater of the Nakajo Mountain front. ”。

"Brigadier Commander! I don't think it's better to go south, so that it will be worth attacking! Attacking along the east bank of the Yellow River had little effect. As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Shen Qun, the second head of the regiment, spoke out.

The rest of the regiment commanders all nodded backwards and attacked the east bank of the Yellow River, and the little devils would not be beaten. After all, in the northwest of Shanxi, there are a large number of guerrilla activities of our army, although they can be supplied along the way, but the effect may not be very great for the devil's hard blow.

On the contrary, it was the most effective way to go south from Huairen and fight the Japanese troops stationed in small towns along the Tongpu Railway, and it could also make Okabe Naosaburo transfer more troops to the north to suppress the rampage of the 8,000 men and horses of the main force of the Independent Brigade.

You must know that the 8,000 horses under Li Yunlong's command are all one war horse per person this time. Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion, Wang Chengzhu's artillery battalion, and Duan Peng's special operations battalion are still two horses per capita, and their mobility is very terrifying!

Li Yunlong was bowed, and the following commanders and fighters actually thought the same as him. Although it marched westward from Huairen and continued westward across the Hongtao Mountains, it was in an arc to the area of Biguan, that is, the towns along the river in Jin Province on the east bank of the Yellow River. However, the pressure on Okabe Naosaburo will not be very great, at least even if the towns along the river controlled by the Japanese army on the east bank of the Yellow River are recovered by the Independent Brigade, it is estimated that the support for the main force of the first theater of the Nationalist Army on the Nakajo Mountain front is not very large.

Therefore, Li Yunlong pressed one hand and motioned for everyone to stop the discussion, saying, "Okay, it seems that the big guy still tends to go south after attacking Huairen!" Then go south! The second target is Daiyue! However, for now, let's deal with Huairen's enemy army first, and give Naosaburo Okabe a big mouth! ”。

"Brigade commander, give the order!"

"Brigade commander, the main attack of my three regiments!"

"Old horse, I've always been here, and my group is the main attacker!"

"Our second regiment is not bad!"

..........

Several regiment commanders suddenly became excited, rushing to take on the task of the main attack! Love books

Li Yunlong smiled, stopped everyone's attack, and pointed to the map of Huairen City: "According to the information we have obtained, most of the devil infantry brigade in Huairen City has been strictly guarded now, but most of the devils are in the big camp in the city. According to the information obtained, there are more than 2,000 people in the Imperial Alliance Army, and the patrol guards in the direction of each city gate are about a battalion of men and horses! ”。

"So, this time, regardless of priority, all of them will be attacked! In this way, the first regiment attacked the west gate, the second regiment attacked the south gate, the third regiment attacked the east gate, and the cavalry battalion and the special operations battalion attacked the north gate. The last 500 people directly under the brigade headquarters served as the last support force. Ten minutes of preparation, the troops began to enter the attack position! ”

Zhang Dabiao and the others said in unison: "Understand, brigade commander!" ”。

And Li Yunlong immediately said to Wang Chengzhu, the commander of the artillery battalion on the side: "Zhuzi, you command the artillery battalion, divide it into three parts, and cover the attack of the three regiments!" ”。

"Yes, Brigadier Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! Wang Chengzhu smiled and saluted!

"Okay, everyone in place, as soon as the shelling rings out in ten minutes, all the men and horses will attack Huairen. This time, we will raid and strengthen the attack, and we must go south to Huairen within half an hour! Duan Peng, you take the special combat team, and immediately cut off the telephone line that the devils in Huairen City may contact the outside world before the attack. ”

"Yes, Brigadier Commander! I understand! Duan Peng saluted heavily, this task is trivial!

And Li Yunlong waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go down and prepare immediately.

At this time, in the sky above Huairen, light rain continued. Spring is coming, and most of the maps of the land of Jin Province are in light rain. Therefore, the devils on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain are actually very uncomfortable, not to mention the devils in Huairen City.

Therefore, at this time, in Huairen City, most of the devils in a certain brigade under the jurisdiction of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army were hiding in the camp in the city to rest. In addition, it was already about half past two in the morning at this time, which made most of the devils already fall asleep.

The bitter Imperial Cooperative Army was responsible for braving the cold light rain at night, standing at the head of the city and the city gates, patrolling and guarding.

Time passed little by little, and ten minutes passed quickly. In fact, Li Yunlong saw that the night was so strong that if the Imperial Alliance Army at the head of the city did not use its searchlights, it would not be possible to find the soldiers of the Independent Brigade crawling four or five meters below the city.

Therefore, after receiving reports from various departments that there were not many enemy troops at the head of the city to search outside the city with searchlights, Li Yunlong immediately ordered all troops to take advantage of the cover of night and directly enter less than a hundred meters outside the city!

"Brigade commanders, the troops report that they have moved to about a hundred meters outside the city gates. The detachments of the special combat team have already carried explosive bags and are lurking under the city gate, ready to blast the city gate at any time! Li Yunlong moved the headquarters forward behind a dirt slope 300 meters outside the East Gate, and soon there was a collection of telephone information connecting various departments, and the staff officers of the brigade headquarters reported to Li Yunlong urgently after summarizing!

Li Yunlong nodded secretly in the light rain falling on the cold night, and said in a low voice: "Pass my orders, send signal flares, and attack the city!" ”。

"Yes, Brigadier General!" The staff officer of the brigade headquarters nodded, then picked up the confidential phone behind him and conveyed Li Yunlong's order to the commanders and fighters of various departments, artillery battalions, and so on.
