Chapter 262: Decisive Battle in Wei County?

Zhang Dabiao and other commanders and fighters nodded in agreement when they heard this, Matsui Shigen was cruel and cunning, and his willpower was still so strong. After losing half of the strength of the 3rd Division, he still pursued his own army unwaveringly, and it can be seen that Matsui Ishine was swearing to kill the new regiment.

However, at this time, the army and Matsui Ishine's devil troops were already an hour or two away, and the distance had already been far away. Most of the devil troops commanded by Matsui Ishine were infantry, and it was impossible to catch up with the new regiment, which was already a war horse with one man, until he vomited blood.

Unless the devil deploys troops, he will set up a blockade in front of the march route of the army to the base area, block the army's withdrawal to the base area, and delay time until the Matsui Shigen behind catches up.

It's just that for everyone who already has a war horse and has strong mobility at this time, even if there is a devil in front of them, it can be detoured.

"Regiment commander, Matsui Ishine still has half of the 3rd Division in his hands, more than 14,000 devils. If we want to get rid of them, we have to deal with them head-on. Otherwise, I was always chased by the devil troops commanded by Matsui Ishine, and it was very uncomfortable! The commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, said with a smile.

Li Yunlong nodded, and then motioned to Wei Dayong on the side to take out the map and put it on the ground, and Shen Qun, Zhang Dabiao and other commanders and fighters squatted down and looked around.

Pointing to the map, Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "Now in the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, all the main forces of the First Theater of the National Army have encountered the fierce attack of the four divisions concentrated by the First Army of the Japanese Army, as well as other affiliated Japanese troops totaling more than 100,000 Japanese elites!" The first theater of the National Army suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain will end in the near future! ”。

"Regiment commander, there are at least 160,000 horses in the first war zone, which is far more than the devil's attack force. And they're still on the defensive, and it's not so easy to break down! The third battalion commander Ma Wenhai said loudly.

Li Yunlong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The first theater of the National Army originally had more than 200,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was okay. However, some elite troops were successively dispatched to other theaters for reinforcement and replenishment. Therefore, at this time, the elite level of the national army units that were still in the first theater of operations had been greatly weakened. What's more, judging from the current war situation, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold out for long. Once the Nakajo Mountain warriors are over, Okabe Naosaburo, who is in charge of the First Army of the Devils, will probably send one or two divisions to launch a fierce siege on our Hengshan base area. At this time, we need to get rid of the rest of the Japanese 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine as soon as possible. ”。

When all the commanders and fighters heard this, their expressions became very solemn.

"Captain!"

Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion, pointed to the map and said: "Now the soldiers of the various units that we have come out this time, in addition to the casualties of no more than 500 soldiers, we still have mobile troops in our bodies, which are 7,000 people. Moreover, the soldiers all have a war horse, and it is not a problem to withdraw to the base area. However, just as the regiment commander was worried, when the time comes, not long after we withdraw to the base area, the remaining troops of the 3rd Devil Division commanded by Matsui Ishine will also be killed in the Hengshan base area. This is very detrimental to the establishment of our base area! ”。

"Not bad!" Zhang Dabiao, the commander of a battalion on the side, nodded and said: "Now the base area is under the auspices of the political commissar, and the hidden arsenal facilities are constantly being built in the depths behind Hutou Mountain. Once the Japanese army besieged the base area, important work such as the arsenal was stopped. ”。

"So, we must deal with the devil troops commanded by Matsui Ishine! The big guys are all talking about it, how to fight? Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice.

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, immediately suggested first: "Regiment commander, we have now moved west along the foot of the northern foot of Baishan Mountain. And Zhaojiayu under the main peak of Baishan Mountain is a good place for a decisive battle, regiment leader, how about it? ”。

But without waiting for Li Yunlong to say, Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion on the side, shook his head and said: "Lao Zhang, Zhaojiayu is at the foot of the main peak of Baishan Mountain, but the main peak of Baishan Mountain is only about five or six kilometers away from Datong City. Once the ambush battle begins, it will be impossible for us to completely annihilate the devil soldiers commanded by Matsui Ishine in a short period of time. And once Matsui Ishine asks for help from Datong's devil troops, Datong's devils will definitely send reinforcements. When the time comes, we will be surrounded by devils. ”。

Zhang Dabiao looked at the distance between the main peak of Baishan Mountain and Datong City on the map, and was a little embarrassed, he didn't think of this.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "What Lao Ma said is good! Although Zhao Jiayu had fought fiercely with devils before, he was also suitable for ambush. But this place has already been engaged in battles with the Japanese army, and I believe that once Matsui Ishine leads the army to chase here, his vigilance should be higher! ”。

"Commander, what should I do then? This area is more suitable for us to engage the devil troops under the command of Matsui Ishone! Shen Qun said loudly.

Li Yunlong said: "Although all the departments are now cavalry, the strength is only 7,000, and the devil army commanded by Matsui Shigen is still 14,000, twice as much as me!" The strength is still very different, not to mention that the 3rd Division of the Devil is a division of the Japanese army, and its combat effectiveness and will to fight cannot be underestimated! At the beginning, the 3rd Division that ate the devils in Awl Mountain and other places, we also spent a lot of strength, and the big guys all knew that the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division of the devils were still very strong. So, we had to find a place to ambush. Although the cavalry charge is very good, the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division can easily find a place to hold on. ”。

"Commander, in this case, where is the best place to have a decisive battle with Matsui Ishine?"

Li Yunlong pondered, it was impossible for Zhao Jiayu to be there. It has been too long from Datong, although Datong has been conquered by a new regiment before, and all the Japanese troops defending the city have been annihilated. However, because the new regiment was a mobile operation at that time, its own troops could not be stationed for a long time after conquering Datong, so it could only withdraw from Datong after annihilating the Japanese troops defending the city of Datong at that time.

Subsequently, the Japanese army sent troops to Datong. Datong is an important town in the north of Jin Province and is the northern gate barrier of Taiyuan. Therefore, after Li Yunlong returned to the base area, he also learned that the strength of the devils who re-stationed in Datong was at least about the strength of an infantry wing.

Even at this time, the Japanese army's heavy army went south to attack the defense area guarded by the first theater of the Nationalist Army, and the devil troops in Datong were not deployed.

Therefore, the possibility of a decisive battle between the remaining Devils of the 3rd Division under the command of Zhao Jiayu and Matsui Ishine is not very good.

Moving his eyes on the map, Li Yunlong pondered vividly in his heart, and then clapped his hands and said: "Zhaojiayu is too close to Datong, it definitely can't work." But here you can! ”。

"Wei County?" Zhang Dabiao exclaimed, he didn't expect Li Yunlong to put the location of the decisive battle with Matsui Shigen in Wei County, which was a bit unexpected!
