After ideological work in the middle of the night, the vast majority of the common people in Yongcheng agreed to pack their bags and leave the city, but there were still some diehards who were unwilling to evacuate even if the officers and men of the first battalion were tired of their words.

Yang Yun was helpless, he couldn't hold a knife on their necks, right?

Since they were determined to stay, Yang Yun could only follow their wishes.

In addition, there is another very important reason, that is, this battle is different from the Battle of Nanjing. The army is already in a situation of inevitable defeat; And in this battle, Yang Yun was absolutely sure that he could hold Yongcheng, and even severely damage or even annihilate the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The reason why the order was given to let the people leave was also because they were afraid that when the battle broke out, they would be injured by mistake.

Early the next morning, the east gate of Yongcheng was opened, and Hu Yunfei led a battalion of officers and soldiers to escort the people out of the city, and stationed in an abandoned uninhabited village ten miles east of the city.

It is said to be an escort, but in fact, it also means to spy on them.

After all, Yang Yun didn't dare to guarantee that there were no spies of the little devils in this, it was okay if there were, if there were, let these spies contact the little devil brigade headquarters, then their previous preparations would be in vain.

Yang Yun didn't dare to gamble, and he wouldn't gamble, he had always been used to taking the opportunity into his own hands, rather than letting others control it.

Although they were puzzled and confused about the arrangements of the new regiment, the vast majority of the people were willing to listen to their arrangements.

Of course, there were also some ordinary people who did not obey the arrangement and tried in vain to resist, but all of them were suppressed by force by the officers and men of the first battalion.

In this way, it also made the rest of the people feel inexplicably panicked.

Fortunately, after the ideological work of Chief of Staff Yang Ronghui and First Battalion Commander Hu Yunfei, these ordinary people gradually returned to calm.

……

The day passed after a long wait, and finally at half past four in the afternoon, the forward reconnaissance company sent back the news.

The Japanese army was still about twenty miles away from Yongcheng, and according to the speed of their march, it was expected that they could reach Yongcheng by six o'clock at the latest.

After receiving the news, Yang Yun immediately gave an order to prepare for battle.

Although there were cars and horses, they could drive all day, and the Japanese officers and men of the 27th Brigade were very tired, especially some little devil officers and soldiers advanced on foot, although they would change trains from time to time, but they almost broke their legs.

For more than 200 miles, although their physical fitness is very good and they have also sat in a car for a long distance, their physical energy is still very high, and they almost broke their legs.

"How far is it from Yongcheng?"

Hearing this, Akasaka Saizumi Shaosa, chief of staff of the 27th Brigade of the Japanese Army, who was sitting on the other side of the military three-wheeled motorcycle, hurriedly took out a march map from his pocket.

After watching for a while, he looked up at the brigade commander Guan Yu and said, "Report to Your Excellency General, we are still about eight kilometers away from Yongcheng!" ”

"Yo Xi!"

Guan Yu nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Pass my order, the whole army speed up the march, be sure to arrive at Yongcheng before dark!" ”

As the order was given, the marching speed of the 27th Brigade of the little devil increased sharply.

……

East of Yongcheng City, a battalion base.

"Report to the Chief of Staff!"

"Say!"

"The reconnaissance company sent an urgent telegram, and the Japanese army has rushed to General Mountain!"

"Good!"

After Yang Ronghui finished speaking, his eyes froze, and then he said to Hu Yunfei: "Battalion Commander Hu, I think we can set off now, otherwise it will be too late for us to set off when the battle starts." ”

"Chief of Staff, your analysis is correct, but what if someone leaks the information to the little devil at this last moment?"

Hu Yunfei looked at the uninhabited village where the people were stationed, and said with some concern.

"I've thought about this question, we can let the first and second companies take the lead, and when the battle starts, the third company will set off!"

"Brilliant plan!"

……

West of Yongcheng City, General Mountain.

"! It's so uncomfortable to see the little devils slip under our noses, and I want to give them a shuttle now! ”

The hemp pole turned white and the chattering Luo cannon in his mouth was too lazy to pay attention to him; Because he knew that this thing was just complaining in his mouth, he knew the severity, and he would never dare to take it upon himself to force the destruction of the entire plan of the group.

Not only Luo Artillery, but also the brothers of the rest of the reconnaissance company and the artillery company also had this thought, and they really wanted to ruthlessly kill this group of little devils under the mountain now, but in the end they were restrained.

"Your Excellency General, you see, there is Yongcheng ahead!"

Chief of Staff Akasaka Zuizumi raised his hand to the castle tower standing not far in front of him and said in a loud voice.

"Yo Xi!"

"What's going on with this Ban Xijun? I didn't even know to send someone to welcome our Excellency General! ”

A combat staff officer had a gloomy face, and although his muttering was not loud, it still reached the ears of the brigade commander Guan Yu, of course, this was his deliberate doing, because he usually walked closer to the commander of the second wing, Ishiguro Sadazo, and when he had the opportunity to touch the blackboard Nishi, he would naturally not let it go.

"Yaga! Don't you know that Banxijun is not in Yongcheng at the moment, but in Wufeng Mountain in Suxian County? Not only Banxi Jun, but the 59th Wing army is basically in Wufeng Village. Now that we are in wartime, in order to meet us, do we have to let it run for hundreds of miles from Wufeng Village to Yongcheng? ”

"Hay! Humble and wrong! ”

The little devil's combat staff officer hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Keep going!"

Guan Yu didn't want to delve into this issue anymore, so he urged the army to speed up again.

It's just that when he came to the gate of Yongcheng, Guan Yu's face showed a little doubt.

Because they were greeted by only a few members of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the highest rank was only a second lieutenant.

Of course, he was not surprised by this question, after all, there were not many Imperial Japanese troops left behind in Yongcheng; And what really puzzled him was that Li Weiguo, the magistrate of Yongcheng County, did not go out of the city to greet him, which made him feel a little puzzled.

"Li Weiguo, where is County Magistrate Li?"

Guan Yu asked the second lieutenant officer not far in front of him with a gloomy face.

"Report to Taijun, County Magistrate Li was attacked by assassins two days ago, and now he is recovering from his injuries, so he couldn't come to greet Taijun in person, please forgive me!"

The second lieutenant didn't speak, but it was a four-eyed interpreter standing behind him.

Of course, the little devil second lieutenant, as well as the four-eyed interpreter, were all disguised by members of the new regiment.

The second lieutenant is Li Xuan, the commander of the fourth company, and the four-eyed translator is Song Chengzhi, the commander of the seventh company.

"Nani? Li Sang was attacked by assassins, so how is his injury now? What about the assassins, have you caught them? ”

"Report Taijun! Although County Magistrate Li was seriously injured, his life was not in danger, and the assassin had already been killed on the spot! ”

"Yo Xi!"
