Chapter 33: Call the Brigade Headquarters
Sakata Shinjiro dispatched his troops and concentrated his forces when he began to retreat to the county seat of Heian.
Mumagou, the soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion of the independent regiment that cleaned the battlefield are seizing the time to clean up the battlefield.
Li Yunlong inspected all parts of the battlefield and found that all the soldiers of the independent regiment had followed the instruction manual for cleaning up the battlefield and shot the devils who were killed one by one, so as to prevent the little devils from pretending to be dead and sneaking attack.
"Regiment commander, there are still a few minutes, and the battlefield should be almost cleaned."
At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, ran over to Li Yunlong and reported.
"It's 6:50 in the morning, and there are still forty or fifty minutes before dawn, and there is still time."
Li Yunlong looked at the time on his pocket watch and said to Zhang Dabiao.
"It's the regiment commander, I've asked the brothers to speed up and clean up the battlefield."
Of course, Zhang Dabiao understood what Li Yunlong meant, there was still so much time, but he also had to finish cleaning as soon as possible.
After all, no one knows whether the devils will use aviation fighters to bomb them.
At this time, if the devil dispatches bombers, and when they fly over Mumagou, it will probably be almost dawn.
"Commander, commander, this time we made another big fortune."
Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, ran to Li Yunlong's side excitedly and said excitedly: "Just the 38-type rifles that the brothers have captured from the preliminary cleaning of the battlefield, it is estimated that there are more than 900 rifles. ”。
"Coupled with the Type 38 rifles we captured from Kato's brigade, it should not be a problem for us to equip another regiment of infantry."
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan both nodded at the same time, it was definitely enough.
In particular, Zhang Dabiao's battalion now has an actual strength of more than 2,000 people, and this time it was just an emergency transfer of more than 500 people who were able to assemble a battalion from when Li Yunlong was in Zhaojiayu at that time.
The current seizures are enough for the first battalion, the second battalion and other units to allocate some captured Devil 38 rifles to strengthen the number of weapons and equipment of each battalion.
"Let the brothers speed up and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible within five minutes."
Li Yunlong said again.
"Understood!!"
The heralds had already left the order, and soon the soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were cleaning the battlefield accelerated their speed.
Li Yunlong found a place for Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others to get together to discuss the next battle plan.
"Regiment commander, since you have set up an ambush here in Mumagou, you have basically eaten the Second Infantry Brigade to which the Sakata Wing belongs. Then the next Sakata United had no strength left and counterattacked against our independent regiment. ”
When Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, heard that Li Yunlong had a plan, he said: "Should the troops withdraw to Heyuan County, Zhaojiayu and other places, disperse and continue to rest." ”。
"The situation of our regimental headquarters in Zhaojiayu has been exposed."
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Now that we have taken Heyuan County, we have set up an ambush in Mumagou and eaten the Second Infantry Brigade of the Bantian Wing. ”。
"It's too cautious to continue to disperse and recuperate."
After a few seconds of pause, Li Yunlong smiled and said, "The Yamamoto special forces raided Zhaojiayu, and the target was Lao Tzu and me. ”。
"It's a pity that Yamamoto Kazuki didn't succeed. According to the information about the Yamamoto special forces that we got from the prisoners of the Imperial Association who assisted in defending the city after we conquered Heyuan County, this devil special team has already gone south, and the destination should be Ping'an County. ”
As he spoke, Li Yunlong pointed to the map of Northwest Jin that Wei Dayong had taken out of his document bag and spread out on the ground, and sneered at everyone.
Seeing Li Yunlong's sneering expression, Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, immediately guessed, "Regiment commander, you won't be fighting Ping'an County!" ”
"You kid can, you actually guessed it."
Li Yunlong praised Shen Quan, smiled and said, "That's right, Lao Tzu's next step is to fight Ping'an County." ”。
"Kazuki Yamamoto and the remnants of his secret service must have fled south into the county town of Heian County."
Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, interjected, "Regiment commander, how do you know that this devil Yamamoto Kazuki will definitely flee into Ping'an County with the remnants of his special team?" ”
"Because this is the safest place, there is still a devil brigade guarding the city."
Li Yunlong made an excuse, can you still say that your head I know that Yamamoto Kazuki will escape into Ping'an County, and I saw it from the plot.
"No matter what, we have to kill Kazuki Yamamoto. This devil, the threat is too great. ”
Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Special mother, sneak attack on the night of Lao Tzu's wedding, Yamamoto Kazuki is not giving you the head of my face!" ”。
"Gotta him!!"
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan looked at each other when they heard this, and the head of the regiment would not take revenge overnight.
"Regiment Commander, although the Sakata Wing was killed by us, the strength of two infantry brigades. However, the strength of its wing is estimated to be 17,800 people at this time! ”
Zhang Dabiao served as the chief of staff, and said cautiously: "If Sakata Shinjiro concentrates his forces to stick to Ping'an County, even if we are in the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to break the city in one fell swoop." ”。
"Now Shinjiro Sakata must have known about the annihilation of the main force of the Sato Brigade. This old devil is not a fool!! ”
Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, also nodded and said, "Regiment commander, if you want to fight Ping'an County, is it a long-term plan?" ”。
"No!!"
Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "Now is the right time, around Ping'an County, the distance between a large number of devils who can reinforce the Bantian United is one day's distance. ”。
"Now there is only one brigade left in the Sakata Wing, and with the strength of the troops directly under the wing, the total strength will not exceed two thousand. This time, Lao Tzu wanted to take advantage of this favorable opportunity to attack the county seat of Ping'an in one fell swoop. ”
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan didn't expect that Li Yunlong really wanted to fight Ping'an County, which was a bit too fast.
"Commander, when will you do it?"
Zhang Dabiao saw that Li Yunlong seemed to have made up his mind, but immediately asked.
"Except for a part of the people left here to transport the seizures back to Heyuan County, the rest of the people immediately went south. In addition, the other horses of the first battalion and the second battalion also immediately assembled in Ping'an County. The third battalion will also be transferred to participate in the battle for the siege of Ping'an County! ”
Li Yunlong said with a solemn look in his eyes.
"Commander, are you in a hurry?"
It was Shen Quan, the steady second battalion commander, who spoke, and said a little persuadingly.
"Now is the best time to take Ping'an County, after the soldiers come to the city, the fastest reinforcement of Bantian United, the devils who rushed to Ping'an County, there is also a day's distance."
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "What's more, we can also let Kong Jie and Ding Wei send troops to help block the devil's reinforcements." ”。
"Taking advantage of the fact that the total number of devils in Ping'an County is less than 2,000, we are still seventy percent sure of besieging and breaking the city."
Seeing that Li Yunlong was full of confidence, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan glanced at each other, knowing that there was no room for persuasion in the determination made by their head of the regiment.
So, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan said in unison: "Yes, head of the regiment." ”。
"Good!!"
Li Yunlong saw that Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan had agreed, so he said: "Leave some soldiers to transport the excess capture back to Heyuan County." ”。
"The rest of the men and horses, assemble and go south."
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan got up, stood up and saluted: "Yes, head of the regiment." ”。
"Signal Soldiers!!"
Li Yunlong then called the signal soldier and ordered: "Immediately order the rest of the men and horses of the first battalion and the second battalion to assemble and march south towards Ping'an County." ”。
"The telegram ordered Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, to immediately assemble all the men and horses of the third battalion to rush to Ping'an County and participate in the battle to besiege Ping'an County."
After a pause for a few seconds, Li Yunlong continued: "In addition, send a telegram to the brigade headquarters to report the results of the battle we have obtained in which the city of Fraud took Heyuan County, and Mumagou set up an ambush to annihilate the Second Infantry Brigade under the Bantian Wing. ”。
