Chapter 580: Cannon Killed!
Li Yunlong nodded and agreed with Zhao Gang's analysis.
In today's Hengshan base area, the fortifications at the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge alone are enough to block the onslaught of 10,000 Japanese troops, and it can hold out for at least a month. What's more, on Tianfengling Mountain, there is also an 88-mm anti-aircraft gun that Li Yunlong exchanged from the super system. There were also hundreds of shells, enough to violently bombard the elite Japanese troops attacking the valley mouth of the canyon at the last critical moment.
Therefore, at this time, if Itagaki Seishiro wants to attack from the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge, it is basically impossible in a short period of time. Therefore, the old devil must find a breakthrough and enter the Hengshan base from other places.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong pondered: "If Seishiro Itagaki wants to kill from the mouth of the canyon, it will be basically impossible for this period of time. Then for Seishiro Itagaki , he could only choose to bypass the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge and make a detour from the flank. ”。
Zhao Gang nodded when he heard this, the terrain of Hengshan is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The mouth of the Jinlong Gorge is the only road in and out of the front, and if it can't be taken here, Itagaki Seishiro can really only choose to send troops to attack the Hengshan base in a roundabout way. According to the consistent offensive routine of the little devils, they can't attack head-on, and most of them engage in roundabout offensive routines.
"So, I think itagarki Seishiro, an old devil, is very likely to send troops to make a detour to the mouth of the Golden Dragon Gorge and sneak attack from our flank and its rear." Zhao Gang said with a smile, his expression was quite relaxed.
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Yes, it is impossible for Itagaki Seishiro to gather heavy troops to storm my Jinlong Gorge valley mouth now, so that he can only become the target of our canyon valley mouth's firepower." Itagaki Seishiro's artillery has been wiped out by us, and there are no tanks to cover the attack. According to the current strength of the little devils, Itagaki Seishiro can only not attack head-on, and the flanks are sneak attacked. How difficult is it to find a detour to the back of Hutou Mountain to go up the mountain? Hum! ”。
"But Lao Li, you can't be careless. In my opinion, let the troops of Hutou Mountain strengthen their vigilance. As soon as you find out that the Japanese are sneaking up from the back mountains, kill them. ”
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, then bother Lao Zhao to deal with these things!" I'm in Tianfeng Ridge to command the battle, I look at the old devil Seishiro Itagaki again, what tricks do you have next! Hahaha! ”。
"Well, I'll do it right away!" Zhao Gang nodded, and immediately turned around and left to deal with this matter.
At this time, Seishiro Itagaki ordered Ueno Masato to send some more small units of Japanese troops to follow the traces of the small group of Japanese reconnaissance troops sent out before to flank the canyon to the rear of Hutou Mountain to carry out a sneak attack, and soon responded.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I have contacted the roundabout troops sent out earlier. They reported that for the time being, they had detoured to the back hills of the new group of old nest Hutou Mountain. I am following the trail to find the way up from Hutou Mountain, but the snow in the mountain is heavy, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult. ”
Ueno hurriedly walked in from outside the military tent where the headquarters was located, and when he saw Seishiro Itagaki who was looking at the map intently, he paused heavily.
Itagaki Seishiro frowned, as if he had expected this situation, and waved his hand and said helplessly: "Yo Xi, I know." Masa Ueno, take a break! ”。
It's just that Ueno shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, what do I have to rest now?" Now that the four princes of the empire were ambushed and killed by the same Chinese army, His Majesty the Emperor was furious, and our Itagaki division was the elite division of the empire, although this time a brigade of troops was dispatched into Jin Province to encircle and suppress the new regiment. However, the results of the battle were not large, but the losses were lost. If we don't catch Li Yunlong and annihilate the headquarters of the new regiment in the Hengshan base area as soon as possible, our Itagaki division will inevitably be angered by His Majesty the Emperor. ”。
Itagaki Seishiro smiled silently and bitterly, thinking that when he was in command of half a division, Seishiro Itagaki had stubbornly defeated more than 30 divisions of Chinese troops. At that time, the division of Seishiro Itagaki could be said to have achieved great results, and it resounded throughout the North China Dispatch Army.
It's just that now he almost led half of the division's troops into Jin Province to pursue Li Yunlong's department, but after a series of encounters and battles, Li Yunlong's department suffered few casualties. On the contrary, his Itagaki Seishiro's troops were attacked by the other side in Sangqianhe, Zhaojiayu, Fengzhen and other places, and the casualties continued to increase. Up to now, Seishiro Itagaki is the latest to be counted. At present, their own troops in front of the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge have led more than 5,300 Japanese troops who rushed here. Five or six hundred people have already been lost.
In other words, there are less than 5,000 troops left in the number of troops that Itagaki Seishiro can command in battle.
This kind of loss, if Hirohito knew about it, would not be angry.
Therefore, after losing Saka Kamipei's artillery brigade, Seishiro Itagaki could only temporarily stop the attack on the new regimental fortifications at the mouth of the valley of the Golden Dragon Gorge.
"There is no way now, the defensive position of the new regiment is very strong, and now the troops in the rear have not found a way to sneak attack from Hutou Mountain. Well, we can only wait for reinforcements to carry a few heavy artillery pieces. In addition, the fighters who are urging Xinkou to take off will speed up and reinforce us. Seishiro Itagaki waved his hand and said to Ueno.
Ueno smiled bitterly when he heard this, what Seishiro Itagaki said, in fact, he expected it.
"Understood, Your Excellency, Division Commander! Your Excellency, the commander of the division, what about the reconnaissance troops exploring the mountains behind Hutou Mountain? ”
Itagaki Seishiro looked at the military map placed in front of him at this time, thought about it and said, "Tell them to withdraw by telegram!" I've been looking for more than 20 minutes, but I guess I can't find it. Withdraw it! ”。
"Yes, Your Excellency Division Commander!" Ueno was speaking up, and immediately waved his hand to ask the Japanese staff officers who were waiting on the side to send a telegram to inform the Japanese reconnaissance troops who were detouring to withdraw.
A few minutes later, Seishiro Itagaki, who was restless at the headquarters, walked out of the headquarters with Ueno, and quietly rushed to a mound less than 200 meters from the mouth of the Jinryuxia Gorge at close range, squatting behind a telescope to observe in the direction of the mouth of the canyon.
At this time, it was difficult for Li Yunlong to see the specific situation of the valley mouth of the canyon on Tianfengling Mountain, so together with Zhao Gang, he rushed to the temporary bunker headquarters at the mouth of the canyon again and went to the front line to observe the situation of the Japanese army.
"Lao Li, I found a Japanese observation force. You see, looking at the military uniform, it seems to be the commander of the little devil! At least a major general! Zhao Gang, who was holding a telescope to observe the situation opposite, suddenly pointed to a place opposite and whispered to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and immediately said in surprise: "Made, that short man is a devil major general." According to the information we have gotten, it may be Masashi Ueno! Immediately ordered Wang Chengzhu to come and prepare to shoot him with a mortar! ”。
