When Kong Jie and Ding Wei successively sent troops to Dulong Village, they were in Qingzhou City.

"Captain!"

The signal corps of the headquarters reported to Li Yunlong: "The new second regiment has called back and has sent troops and is rushing to Dulong Village. ”。

"In addition, a new group has also been dispatched!"

Li Yunlong was holding a telescope with a serious expression at this time, observing the situation outside the East Gate.

It's just that at night, the devils outside the east gate of Qingzhou City are hidden in the night, and it is actually difficult to observe.

However, Li Yunlong did not dare to be careless.

Hearing the report of the communications soldier, Li Yunlong's smile immediately came out.

"Good boy, Lao Kong, this kid actually sent a report to Ding Wei, and the brigade headquarters agreed, haha."

After Li Yunlong took the telegram from the communication soldier and read it, he smiled and said: "The 15th Brigade of the Devil, the next thing can be regarded as suffering, hehehe." ”。

"Regiment commander, both the new second regiment and the new first regiment have been dispatched?"

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly, this kid is standing next to Li Yunlong.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunlong nodded, but first asked Wang Huaibao, "What is the situation of the other three gates in Qingzhou City now?" ”。

"There are devils outside the other three gates, but none of them are attacking the city, but there are scattered devil snipers shooting at our defenders at the head of the city. I have ordered the men defending the city to take cover, and have sent the best sharpshooters in my three battalions to fight back. ”

Wang Huaibao said: "Now the devil sniper has stopped. ”。

"That's good."

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "Nakamura Zhenxiong will definitely have a moth tonight, keep my eyes open and pay attention to vigilance." ”。

"Understood, Captain."

Wang Huaibao said with a serious face.

"Regiment commander, both the new first regiment and the new second regiment have been dispatched, how many men and horses have been dispatched?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he smiled and said, "I know the situation of the new first regiment and the situation of the new second regiment. ”。

"The actual strength of these two regiments is about seven or eight thousand people, which is actually about the same as ours."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "You kid take a look! This is Kong Jie's callback. ”

As he spoke, Li Yunlong handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, and said.

Wang Huaibao immediately took it and read it quickly, and then said in surprise: "The new first regiment and the new second regiment have both dispatched five thousand, and the total is ten thousand, regiment commander." ”。

"Good guy, Captain Kong and Captain Ding have given us face for the independent group, Commander."

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "That's it." ”。

"It's still okay for our Lao Li to save face, not to mention Kong Jie's kid, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's order to reorganize the independent regiment, this kid would definitely be pulled out by the brigade headquarters."

Wang Huaibao nodded, and now the development of the independent regiment has reached a higher level.

"The new first regiment and the new second regiment both dispatched 5,000 troops, Kong Jie and Ding Wei, this kid really gave me Lao Li face."

Li Yunlong said: "Plus Zhang Dabiao's battalion in Dulong Village has about 1,500 people, that is, more than 11,000 people. ”。

"And the devil brigade that has regained control of Shuocheng and returned from Qingzhou City, plus the main force of the 15th Brigade to the south, is about nearly eight thousand."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Then, the ratio of friends and enemies in the direction of Shuocheng will be about eight to eleven."

"The comparison of forces in the direction of Shuocheng will be in our hands when the time comes."

Wang Huaibao said: "Regiment commander, that brings together the main forces of the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment, it is possible that we will eat the main force of the 15th Brigade in Shuocheng?" ”。

"Quite possibly!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It's up to people!" What's more, Zhang Dabiao, this kid, buried a hole in the broken city under the north gate of Shuocheng. ”。

"If the devils who rushed to Shuocheng from Qingzhou City to help them don't find the broken city under the city wall of the North Gate now, then Zhang Dabiao, Kong Jie and Ding Wei will work together to eat the 15th Brigade It shouldn't be a problem."

Wang Huaibao immediately said, "Regiment commander, in this way, once we surround the main force of the 15th Brigade in the direction of Shuocheng, Nakamura Zhenxiong will definitely make a move." ”

"That's for sure!"

Li Yunlong nodded, then returned to the back, pointed to the map on the table and said to Wang Huaibao: "Judging from the map, the distance between Qingzhou City and Shuocheng is more than ten kilometers, and it takes an hour to march urgently. ”。

"And as long as Zhang Dabiao and Ding Wei and Kong Jie join forces at that time, they will send a part of their troops to fight a few kilometers west of Shuocheng, or destroy the road to block the devils who return from Qingzhou City, that can be done."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued to condense, "Plus Ding Wei, once they make a move, we will do it when the time comes!" Contain the main force of Nakamura Zhenxiong's army outside the city. ”

"Hehe, what should I do when I fancy this old devil Nakamura Zhenxiong?"

Wang Huaibao nodded, and then suddenly remembered us, and said: "Regiment leader, according to the call from the political commissar, the devils who attacked the first line of heaven have already retreated south. ”。

"The fourth battalion will almost soon arrive at the first line, can you let the fourth battalion go south and reinforce us?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he forgot about this stubble.

If the two Japanese brigades that went north to attack the first line of heaven really returned south, then it would be a bit of a waste for the fourth battalion Chen Ping'an, who quickly arrived on the first line, to stop at the first line.

"You reminded me."

Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "There is a high probability that the devils who went north to attack the first-line sky have already retreated south, so it will be a waste of troops for the fourth battalion to defend the first-line sky after rushing to the first-line sky." ”。

"It's better to go south, garrison outside the north of Qingzhou City, and cooperate with your three battalions to defend the city."

Wang Huaibao said with a smile: "What the head of the regiment said is that I mean this. ”。

"Then let's do it!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head, then waved his hand to call the signal soldier, and said: "Send a report to the fourth battalion, and let the fourth battalion continue to go south after passing the first line." ”。

"When you go south, you don't have to march in a hurry!"

After thinking about it, Li Yunlong added another sentence and said to the communication soldiers, "Let the political commissar go south with the fourth battalion!" ”

"Yes, Captain."

The Signal Soldier replied, then turned and left to deliver the message.

Li Yunlong then said to Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion: "From now on, pay attention to the situation of guarding the gates of the city. ”。

"Understood, Captain."

Wang Huaibao said with a serious face.

"Hmm!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head, then walked to the edge of the roof wall, raised his binoculars and continued to observe the situation outside the East Gate.

At this time, outside the east gate of Qingzhou City, in the military tent headquarters of Nakamura Zhenxiong.

"Division Commander."

Nakamura Zhenxiong's chief of staff, Kita Taijiro, walked up to Nakamura Zhenxiong, handed a telegram and said in a low voice: "The 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades of the 72nd Infantry Wing, which went north to attack the first line of heaven, continue to move south under the command of Wing Commander Kazuo Sugida. ”。

"I thought that retreating south would attract the enemy troops stationed on the front line to come out and pursue, but the other party did not come out to attack, and the ambush plan failed."

Hearing this, Nakamura shook his head and said, "This is expected. ”。

"The commander of the enemy army stationed on the front line is not a fool."

After a pause, Nakamura Zhenxiong said to Kita Taijiro: "Let the communications staff officer send a report to the commander of the 72nd Infantry Wing of the 72nd Brigade Regiment, Kazuo Sugita, and ask him to command the two brigades of the post to continue to retreat south!" ”。

"Yes, division commander."

Kido Taijiro nodded, and then waved his hand to signal the communication staff officer on the side to immediately go and ask the devil communication soldiers under his command to send a report to Kazuo Sugita.

After waiting for the communication staff officer to walk away, Kita Taijiro said: "Division commander, now the battle situation is at a stalemate!" ”。

"Are we changing our course of operations?"

When Nakamura Zhenxiong heard this, he said to Kita Taijiro: "What do you think? ”。

"I feel that I will continue to fortify the city and attack for a long time, and there will be too many casualties."

Kita Taijiro thought about it and suggested stubbornly: "Do you want to withdraw to Shuocheng for the time being, and then replenish and rest for a while?" ”。

"No!"

When Nakamura Zhenxiong heard this, he shook his head and said without even thinking about it for a second: "Mu Duo-kun, if there is no matter of His Royal Highness Boyan's jade shattering, I can order the troops to withdraw." ”。

"However, His Royal Highness Boyan's jade was shattered in Hanjiapo, and His Majesty Tianhuang was furious, we are now riding a tiger, and it is impossible to withdraw our troops! If Li Yunlong is not captured alive in Qingzhou City, or killed, even if you and I need to withdraw our troops and return to Shuocheng, even Commander Shinozuka, who is far away in Taiyuan City, will not agree! ”

Hearing this, Kido Taijiro immediately thought of the devil prince Fushimi Miyahiro who was killed by Zhang Dabiao's troops in Hanjiapo, and suddenly fell silent.

Yes, if Li Yunlong's troops are not wiped out, Li Yunlong will be captured alive or killed if no one is left.

Zhenxiong Nakamura, can he withdraw his troops?

"Division commander, I understand my humble duties."

Kita Taijiro could only say bitterly.

"Wait for the troops under the command of Kazuo Sugita to withdraw to Qingzhou City, and the troops will continue to surround Qingzhou City, and will not attack Qingzhou City for the time being, and wait for the 15th Brigade to rush to Shuocheng and go north to solve the enemy army in Dulong Village!"

Nakamura Zhenxiong said in a condensed voice.

"Yes, division commander, I will send a report to the commander of the 15th Brigade, General Okamoto Youichi, asking him to lead his troops to Shuocheng as soon as possible, and then go north to solve the enemy army in Dulongzhai after taking control of Shuocheng."

Kita Taijiro said.

"Hmmm! Go ahead! ”

Nakamura waved his hand and said.

And at this time, the commander of the 15th Brigade of the Devil, Okamoto Youyi, who was being read by Zhenxiong Nakamura, was stepping on the cold wind of the night and rushing all the way to Shuocheng!

When the brigade of Okamoto's right command post passed through Hanjiapo, he saw the Jingguan who was ambushed by Zhang Dabiao and killed the Devil's Prince's Guards in Hanjiapo, and built with the corpses of the soldiers of the Devil's Guard.

Okamoto was furious, but he could only order the devil soldiers of the brigade to stop and bury the bodies of the killed Prince Guards soldiers on the spot.

By the time Okamoto's Right 1st Command Post Brigade arrived at Shuocheng, it was already 9:16 p.m., and it was conceivable that the speed of the march at night could not be too fast.

Okamoto Youichi, who led his troops to Shuocheng, together with the chief of staff Komori Jiro Osa, under the escort of a small team of devils, climbed to the north gate of Shuocheng and looked north.

"Ishikawa-san, the situation in Shuocheng, you can introduce it."

Okamoto looked at the north side of the castle, but he couldn't see anything at night, and then asked Saburo Ishikawa, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Group of the 73rd Infantry Wing of the 7th Brigade Regiment, who was standing beside him.

"General Okamoto, after his subordinates led his troops to Shuocheng, there was no trace of enemy troops in the city. Kenzaburo Tabe, the commander of our 73rd Infantry Wing who stayed in Shuocheng, was killed in battle, and more than 600 officers and men of the Imperial Army in the city were also killed. ”

Ishikawa Saburo hurriedly stood up and said: "In addition, there are not many ordinary people in Shuocheng City. ”。

"After the subordinate regained control of Shuocheng, he immediately sent troops to search the city, and there was no way to hide the enemy army!"

Hearing this, Okamoto said with a frown: "It seems that the enemy army that ambushed His Highness Boyan and evacuated Shuocheng was very decisive. ”。

"I guess I know that my 15th Brigade is going to arrive in Shuocheng!"

Ishikawa Saburo nodded and said, "That's what Okamoto said. ”。

"Now there are more than 7,800 imperial troops gathered in Shuocheng, so many imperial troops, ambushed His Royal Highness Boyan, and captured the enemy army in Shuocheng for the second time, where do they dare to hide their forces in the city to attack us?"

Okamoto bowed his head on the right, and then asked Ishikawa Saburo, "The enemy army that ambushed His Highness Boyan is the headquarters of the first battalion of Li Yunlong's independent regiment?" ”。

"Hi, yes, General Okamoto!"

Ishikawa Saburo said in a condensed voice: "The other party is very arrogant, and before evacuating Shuocheng, he also left a lot of papers indicating their identities in the headquarters of the original imperial army in the city. ”。

"Arrogant, General Okamoto!"

Okamoto sneered when he heard this, and said, "A childish plan to provoke the enemy! ”。

"Brigade Commander!"

At this time, the chief of staff on the side, Jiro Komori, said in a condensed voice: "Although it is a very naïve plan to provoke the enemy, what should we do now?" ”。

"This enemy army is about the strength of a regiment, and it has been withdrawn to Dulong Village. The situation of Dulong Village, judging from the map, is easy to defend and difficult to attack! It was originally occupied by a small group of bandits, but after being captured by the first battalion of Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, it has now become a sharp knife in the north of Shuocheng, and it is on the head of the supply base in the rear of the imperial army under Qingzhou City. ”

"It's so disturbing!"

Okamoto heard the words, and then looked to the north, and at night, it seemed very quiet!

"Of course, we have to deal with the enemy army in Dulong Village!"

Okamoto then said: "But now that my 15th Brigade has just arrived in Shuocheng, the troops have marched all the way to the mountains for as long as twenty-five kilometers, and the troops are exhausted. ”。

"There's no way to attack immediately, and now I can only rest for more than an hour!"

When Komori Jiro heard this, he had to bow his head and say, "What the brigade commander said. ”

"It's now more than 9:20 p.m., and all units of the brigade and regiment are ordered to go into the city to rest."

Okamoto thought for a while, and said in a condensed voice: "After eleven o'clock in the evening, let the people of the 30th Infantry Wing belonging to the brigade get ready, and follow me to attack the north and attack Dulong Village." ”。

"No matter what, we must deal with the enemy army occupying Dulong Village!"

Jiro Komori said: "Brigade commander, is it enough to dispatch the 30th Infantry Wing?" ”。
