"Not bad!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "It's a siege for reinforcements!" The ditch leading from Pingxingguan to Lingqiu County was very suitable for us to ambush on the flank. An ambush from a high altitude will have great results! ”。

Zhang Dabiao immediately said: "Regiment leader, give an order!" ”。

The others also nodded and said, this ambush plan looks very good. At the very least, it is impossible for the little devil in Pingxingguan to know that he has rushed to the vicinity of Qin Xishan, which is the most beneficial to himself.

"Okay, send a telegram to contact Zhao Gang and them, and dispatch a battalion of troops to immediately go south out of Hengshan, and march south along the Guanshui River to the vicinity of Lingqiu County, and meet with the guerrillas of our army near the county seat, and immediately launch an attack behind the ear. Attack fiercely! In addition, in this ambush, we mainly arranged the battlefield on the road of the Japanese reinforcements from Pingxingguan to Lingqiu County, that is, the seven or eight Huali mountain road east of Pingxingguan. Three battalion commanders! After Li Yunlong nodded, he said solemnly to Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion.

Ma Wenhai suddenly said loudly: "Commander! ”。

"It's still the same, your third battalion is responsible for blocking the retreat and advance of the Japanese troops before and after the ambush of the mountain road, of course, after the battle has begun! Be sure to block the Japanese army's evacuation and attack from the front and back of the mountain road after the battle starts! ”

Hearing this, Ma Wenhai said solemnly: "Commander, I promise to complete the task!" ”。

"Good!" Li Yunlong nodded, pointed to the map and continued to say to Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua: "Dabiao's battalion is still the main attack, and the special battalion cooperates. In this ambush, I estimate that the Japanese army will not reinforce the devil troops in Lingqiu County, and there may not be many! But it may not be less! The little devils want to ensure that Lingqiu County will not be lost, after all, they have secretly gathered troops to prepare to besiege the base of my new regiment in Hengshan, once Lingqiu County is lost, this will be in an encirclement, and we will open a gap, and we will inevitably send troops to reinforce! ”。

"Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! Zhang Dabiao and Zhou Hua saluted in unison.

Li Yunlong nodded, motioned to Wei Dayong on the side, put away the map on the spot, stood up, and said, "Keep going!" Rush to the flat level! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone stood up and saluted, and then returned to their troops to direct the march.

And just when the main force of the new regiment was rushing to Pingxingguan, at this time, more than 1,400 Japanese troops from the 205th Brigade of the 11th Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, who were chasing Sun Dehai and them in the wind and snow, braved the wind and snow at this time.

It's just that for the little devils, it is simply a bit difficult to pursue the troops of the new regiment in such a cold and dark night.

In addition, in the process of pursuit, Sun Dehai and they didn't have to hide their traces. Because during the retreat, the wind and snow increased, and the snow on the ground had buried the footprints and other traces left by the blocking soldiers during the retreat.

As a result, the Japanese troops under Kotaro Yokoyama, who were pursuing them, lost their traces of the blocking force after less than half an hour of pursuit, which made Kotaro Yokoyama extremely annoyed.

"Baga Ya Road! This kind of wind and snow has completely covered the traces left by the retreat of the Chinese army! Yokoyama Kotaro saw that the traces left by Sun Dehai's retreat had disappeared, and he knew that he could no longer pursue.

The adjutant of the brigade on the side, Koji Kitano, was wearing an overcoat, his hands trembling, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the team ahead can no longer find any traces of the retreat of the Zhina Army." The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and if we continue to pursue, I'm afraid that the physical exertion of the Imperial Army warriors will be very serious! There are already some tired soldiers of the Imperial Army who are in pursuit, and there is no point in us pursuing in this weather and night! Your Excellency! ”。

Kotaro Yokoyama looked up at the sky, and at this time the sky was dark, and he couldn't see a few people in front of him, so he knew that even if he was holding a torch. Pursuing the enemy army in such a situation is very disadvantageous!

"But His Excellency the Commander personally asked us to catch up with Li Yunlong's department, and he has already mobilized the imperial troops in Dingxiang and other places to intercept it! If we don't pursue it without permission, I'm afraid Your Excellency the Commander will reprimand us!" Kotaro Yokoyama waved his hand and said worriedly.

However, Koji Kitano sneered in his heart, who doesn't know that you Kotaro Yokoyama is a nobleman from the empire, even Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't dare to punish you easily. After all, behind you Yokoyama Kotaro is a prominent nobleman of the empire, and Yoshio Shinozuka will not really punish you Yokoyama Kotaro.

Koji Kitano said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the current situation is different, we must ensure the lives of the imperial warriors who are still alive. The lives of the Imperial soldiers cannot be wasted in this senseless pursuit. What's more, it is indeed impossible to pursue at the moment, how can we catch up with the Chinese army in this environment? ”。

"So what do you say?" Kotaro Yokoyama said, in fact, the old devil has agreed to his adjutant's suggestion, after all, this cold and dark night is no longer suitable for pursuing the new group.

Kitano Koji thought about it, and said in a low voice: "You can order the Imperial soldiers to continue the pursuit, but you don't have to rush to pursue." So as not to be ambushed by the Chinese army, ambushing at night is the specialty of the Eighth Route Army! ”。

"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo, you understand your humble duties!" Koji Kitano immediately responded, and quickly turned around and left to convey the old devil's order.

As a result, the Japanese infantry brigade that pursued Sun Dehai's department quickly slowed down the pursuit, and it was slow.

At this time, Sun Dehai and the others had actually followed the marks left by Li Yunlong and them, and kept speeding up to catch up with the main force of the new regiment. By three o'clock in the morning, they had finally caught up with the main force of the new regiment near Pingxingguan.

When the time came for peace, all the people were very happy.

"Good boy, you did a good job, you actually killed the strength of two devil squadrons. Awesome! As soon as Li Yunlong saw Sun Dehai, he immediately laughed and patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

Sun Dehai smiled and said: "Commander, these are all the light and heavy machines and a large number of shou liu dàn left by you, we are killing so many devils at once!" ”。

"Okay, take a break, let's go home!" Li Yunlong said simply, at this time, Sun Dehai and the others were also tired.

Sun Dehai and the others stood up and said: "Yes, head of the regiment!" ”。

After Sun Dehai and the others had rested enough, the main force of the army quickly continued to advance, and in less than half an hour or so, the main force of the army entered the two ends of the ditch and mountain road on the west side of Pingxing Guan.

Soon, a battalion sent by Zhao Gang, who received Li Yunlong's telegram, to attack Lingqiu County, had already joined the nearby guerrillas to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese garrison in the county!
