At the same time when Li Yunlong commanded three brigades of Zhang Dabiao and other troops, an artillery regiment, and a reserve unit directly under him, totaling 15,000 troops, took advantage of the darkness of the night to set out from the mouth of the Jinlongxia Gorge in the Hengshan base area at about half past nine in the evening, and went south along the Guanshui River, preparing to take the line of Pingxingguan and then go south along the inner Great Wall to the Central Plains.

Beiping City, in the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the devil!

"Click!!

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Tian Junliu turned his head to see that it was the chief of staff, Shintaro Watanabe!

"Watanabe-kun, so urgent? What's the matter? ”

Tian Junliu's eyes were serious, and when he saw the appearance of Shintaro Watanabe, he felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Watanabe Shintaro held a freshly baked telegram in his hand, handed it to Tian Junliu, and reported in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency General, in Li Yunlong's Hengshan Base Area, our internal line just sent a report five minutes ago. ”。

"Li Yunlong mobilized at least one brigade of troops to secretly maneuver towards Hunyuan! Looks like there's something going on! As he reported, Shintaro Watanabe pointed to the huge military map on the table of the headquarters and pointed to a location on it.

"Hunyuan City is in the northwest of the enemy's base area, and it should not be far from Yingcheng!" Tian Junliu said in a condensed voice.

Watanabe Shintaro nodded and said, "Your Excellency, Hunyuan is now under the control of Li Yunlong's department, but Yingcheng is in the hands of our imperial army. However, Yingcheng's troops are estimated to not have many people, and Li Yunlong personally commanded his main force to maneuver to attack Tongpu Road and stir around. With the current situation, Yingcheng still has the imperial army in Shanyin, and there are only about two brigades, and the strength is only more than 2,000 people. Once Li Yunlong sent a brigade to attack the west and attack Yingcheng and Shanyin, it was very likely that he would threaten to cut off Tongpu Road again. ”。

"Li Yunlong dispatched a brigade so quickly to attack Yingcheng, Shanyin, and threaten Tongpu Road. As usual, this is only one brigade of troops, don't you think it's a bit too little? Tian Junliu pondered, waving his hand and said in a condensed voice.

Watanabe Shintaro said loudly: "Your Excellency the General means that Li Yunlong is a suspicious soldier?" ”。

"Perhaps. However, Li Yunlong's current brigade has at least 4,000 troops, which is almost double the strength of the imperial troops stationed in Yingcheng and Shanyin. And it is the first brigade under the command of Zhang Dabiao, a fierce general! This enemy army is strong and strong, and its firepower is not weak! Once attacked, the defenders of Yingcheng and San'in may not be able to withstand it. Tian Junliu gritted his teeth, a little helpless.

Since the northern section of Tongpu Road was disrupted by Li Yunlong, the main force of the 77th Brigade of the 33rd Division of the Devil's Division was annihilated from the north of the Zhongtiao Mountain front, as well as the 31st Brigade sent by Tada Jun when he was still in office, and the 20,000 Japanese troops under Haruki Fujimoto were completely annihilated.

At this time, the Japanese troops who were able to maneuver in the northern section of Tongpu Road were relatively small.

If Li Yunlong really sent troops to attack, the devil defenders in Yingcheng and Shanyin would be 100% unable to withstand it.

However, according to Li Yunlong's previous troop dispatch, it is impossible to just send a brigade! It is estimated that this road may be suspicious, threatening Tongpu Road to attract Japanese troops from the north or south to the San'in area!

However, Tian Junliu still didn't know what attack strategy Li Yunlong was doing when he suddenly moved a brigade to Hunyuan!

But Li Yunlong, like a cunning wolf, has begun to mobilize Tian Junliu, which makes Tian Junliu, who has always despised the Huaxia commander, feel that Li Yunlong is worthy of being a fierce opponent and should not be underestimated.

"Your Excellency, did you send troops to reinforce the defenders of Yingcheng and Sanyin? If the road sent by Li Yunlong is not a suspicious soldier, it is really possible for a brigade to take Yingcheng and then conquer Shanyin! Then, the northern section of Tongpu Road was still cut off by the other party. Once they wreak havoc on the railway, the fighting in the direction of Nakajo Mountain is bound to protract! The situation is subject to change! Shintaro Watanabe said solemnly.

Tian Junliu thought about it, but he still didn't realize the purpose of Li Yunlong's sudden dispatch of a brigade to maneuver towards Hunyuan.

However, once Yingcheng and San'in are captured by the other side again, then the threat to the northern section of Tongpu Road is a 100% thing.

After thinking about it, the old devil Tian Shunroku still said to Watanabe Shintaro: "In this way, immediately send a report to General Miyano Taro and ask him to send troops to strengthen the defense of Yingcheng and Sanin!" ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Shintaro Watanabe nodded, waved his hand and motioned to the devil communication staff on the side to send a report immediately.

Tian Junliu, on the other hand, looked at the map, and suddenly instructed Watanabe Shintaro: "Send a report to the inner line, and ask him to immediately find out the purpose of Li Yunlong's dispatch of a brigade to Hunyuan." The inner line is from the Quartermaster Department, and it should be able to know the purpose of the enemy's maneuver to Hunyuan, and quickly drop. ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Watanabe Shintaro paused heavily, and then walked away in person to let people contact Luo Zimo, the devil who was lurking in Hengshan.

Just two minutes later, Shintaro Watanabe hurriedly walked back to the headquarters hall, walked to Tian Junliu's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency General, the situation is not right, the internal radio station is closed, and we can't get in touch!" ”。

"Nani? How can it be. Tian Junliu immediately became vigilant.

Luo Zimo is the highest-level insider that Tian Junliu has personally mastered, although he only rushed to Hengshan three days ago to lurk.

But Tian Junliu was personally deployed, and this Luo Zimo was not the original Luo Zimo. The real Luo Zimo had already been killed by Tian Junliu's secret hand on the way, so the fake Luo Zimo would secretly infiltrate Li Yunlong's base and serve as a high-level personnel of the Quartermaster Logistics Department.

Shintaro Watanabe continued in a condensed voice: "It's true that I can't get in touch, the radio station on the inside line has been turned off, and our call can't be echoed at all. ”。

"According to the contact rules, there is no emergency on the internal line, the station will not be hastily shut down, and it is not allowed to be shut down. After all, there is no codebook, it is all in the mind of the inner line, so there is only one possibility, the internal line has been leaked. Tian Junliu said with a grim look in his eyes.

Shintaro Watanabe said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency General, it is very possible! We can't get in touch with the inside line anymore! Now what? Once Li Yunlong really sent a brigade to attack Yingcheng, in the direction of Shanyin, the northern section of Tongpu Road would inevitably encounter a threat, and then it would be troublesome. ”。

"Nine times out of ten, the inside line has been discovered by the other party, and this contact does not need to be contacted! Eight grid tooth road, damn it! ”

Tian Junliu gritted his teeth and said: "Now if Li Yunlong wants to do something, we have no intelligence support, and it is really difficult to fight!" In this way, give orders to the troops of the Imperial Association Army besieging Hengshan to launch an offensive, at least to bring out Li Yunlong's intentions! ”。

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Shintaro Watanabe nodded.

It's just that whether the attack of the Imperial Alliance Army can hit Li Yunlong's intentions, Watanabe Shintaro feels that it may be a bit hanging. The combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army is not bad if they can give full play to their usual success in looting the common people.
