Li Yunlong ordered all the troops to assemble, and when Sun Desheng's cavalry company was responsible for luring the enemy, the other Japanese reconnaissance commanders who had lost contact with the Japanese reconnaissance detachment that had lost contact with Duan Peng and entered the Taishan Mountains to conduct reconnaissance and search finally noticed that something was wrong.

Soon, the Japanese commander who entered the mountainous area of Taishan and was in charge of the reconnaissance of the Japanese reconnaissance unit at the command post rushed to the place where the Japanese reconnaissance team that had lost contact with it had probably lost contact.

"Sir, bloodstains found. Here, more than a dozen imperial warriors of the third reconnaissance team were all killed, and judging from the imperial warriors who died in battle, they were all killed by others with daggers, clean and neat! After some searching, a Japanese scout soon reported to the commander of the reconnaissance unit.

The commander of the Japanese army in charge of entering Mount Tai for reconnaissance was Lieutenant Shinichiro Nakabayashi, who commanded several Japanese reconnaissance teams to carry out advance reconnaissance in the mountains of Mount Tai, where it was possible to hide the rest of the army.

I just didn't expect that one of my own reconnaissance units would lose contact so soon.

"Bagaya Road, it should be the ability of the regular army. Judging from the fact that these are more than a dozen corpses of imperial soldiers who are still a little warm, the time they have been attacked will not be too long. Map! Shinichiro Nakabayashi looked at the corpses of more than a dozen soldiers of the Japanese reconnaissance squad who were killed by Duan Peng and others, and said in a cold voice.

A scout standing next to Shinichiro Nakabayashi immediately took out a military map from the backpack behind his back and spread it out, Shinichiro Nakabayashi turned on the flashlight and shone it with a solemn look in his eyes.

"Yo Xi, this is the place where the third reconnaissance team was attacked and killed, and seven or eight hundred meters away from the north, is a clearing behind the main peak of Mount Tai, surrounded by dense woods, which is very suitable for the army to hide and rest. Signal Soldiers! ”

I saw a Japanese signal soldier who was accompanying the army hurriedly walked up, and said with a pause: "Sir! ”。

Shinichiro Nakabayashi said coldly: "Immediately report to Your Excellency the commander of the Tai'an City Brigade that the third reconnaissance team of our department has been attacked, and its location is in the southern area of the main peak of Tai'an, and it is preliminarily judged that it was done by the regular army." Your Excellency the Brigade Commander, please instruct! ”。

"Hello, sir!" The little devil paused heavily with the army's communication soldiers, and then hurriedly sent a report to contact Xiao Miyayama Cheng in Tai'an City.

After the signal soldiers left, the captain of the first reconnaissance team standing beside Shinichiro Nakabayashi spoke up: "Sir, what should we do next?" ”。

"Immediately move forward here, I guess since the third reconnaissance team was quietly killed by the elite enemy regular army here, not even the sound of gunfire was fired. It shows that it is impossible for only a small group of mountain guerrillas to be able to do it. The Imperial Army warriors in my reconnaissance unit are all elite. Even if there is a sudden attack, the first shot will be fired to get our attention. And at the moment, no, it means that they were attacked by the elite reconnaissance unit belonging to the regular army of the Chinese army. And in this mountainous area of Taishan, the strength of the guerrillas in China is not insignificant. Then only Li Yunlong's Eighth Route Army has this strength! ”

After a pause, Shinichiro Nakabayashi sneered: "Therefore, the enemy reconnaissance unit that can ambush my third reconnaissance team is bound to be strong. From the map, to the north of the main peak of Mount Tai, there is a clearing here, surrounded by dense woods, which can hide the army at any time to rest. Let's go out at once, go out to investigate, and hurry up. ’。

"Sir, wise!" The captain of the first reconnaissance team slapped a silent sycophant.

Shinichiro Nakabayashi smiled, waved his hand, and ordered all the soldiers of the Japanese reconnaissance unit to assemble and gallop towards the north of the main peak of Mount Tai.

At this time, soon Nakabayashi Shinichiro's emergency telegram was already in the hands of Komiyayama Nari, who was ready to attack at any time in Tai'an City.

Looking at the telegram that had just been translated, the old devil Komiyayama Cheng and the brigade chief of staff Yongshan Kendasa looked at each other and smiled, finally catching the traces of the main cavalry of the Eighth Route Army commanded by Li Yunlong.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, according to the content of Shinichiro Nakabayashi's urgent telegram, judging from the map, the place where the reconnaissance team that was attacked is located south of the main peak of Mount Tai, here!" Nagayama Xiandazuo said in a condensed voice to Komiya Yama, pointing to one of the locations in the Mount Taishan Mountains on the map.

Xiaomiya Shancheng nodded and said, "This shows that according to the good judgment of Shinichiro Nakabayashi's emergency telegram, Li Yunlong is hidden in the direction of Mount Tai, and it is estimated that it is here." Chief of Staff, you command an infantry brigade left behind to defend the city of Tai'an. Wait for me to return to the division victoriously and cut off Li Yunlong's head. ”。

The division of labor had been clear before, and Yongshan Xian didn't bother to dissuade Komiya Yama Cheng from personally leading the main force to attack, but pointed to the north meaningfully and whispered: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, did you send a report to Your Excellency Commander Iida in Jinan City to inform us of the information we have obtained?" Your Excellency the Commander, please instruct? ”。

Xiao Miyayama Cheng immediately said: "Your Excellency Commander has already ordered our department to send a reconnaissance force into the mountain to investigate the location of Li Yunlong's troops. Now, we have detected the approximate location of Li Yunlong's troops, and while Li Yunlong's troops have not yet encountered a fierce battle with the main reconnaissance force, we will immediately send troops to dispatch and annihilate Li Yunlong's main force first. As for Your Excellency the Commander, let's wait until we are victorious! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I know about my humble duties!"

Yongshan Xian said in a low voice, his expression was meaningful, and he knew Komiyayama's thoughts.

Without further ado, more than 6,000 little devils of the 10th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had already been ready in accordance with Komiyayama's assembly order, had already assembled in Beicheng near the city gate. After instructing Nagayama Ken to command an infantry brigade to defend Tai'an Castle, Komiyayama confidently led his army out of the city, marched northward, and followed the route given by Shinichiro Nakabayashi all the way into the Taishan Mountains.

On the night of the high moon and the dark killing, more than 6,000 Tai'an Japanese troops entered the mountains with murderous spirit under the command of Xiaogong Yamacheng, without caring about the heavy snow falling at this time, the snow in the mountains was deep, and it was in the coldest time in the early morning, galloping all the way north.

At this time, several Japanese reconnaissance teams totaling more than 200 people assembled by Shinichiro Nakabayashi had already found the rest camp of Li Yunlong and others in the mountainous area of Taishan.

Seeing a large area of tents densely packed in a clearing in the woods, Shinichiro Nakabayashi excitedly commanded his Japanese reconnaissance team to kill it.

It's just that Sun Desheng's cavalry company, which was responsible for luring the enemy behind the palace, had already secretly ambushed, and a charge fought and killed more than 100 Japanese scouts.

Caught off guard, Shinichiro Nakabayashi could only lead the remnants to evacuate and retreat south so that the main force of more than 6,000 Japanese troops heading north towards Komiyayama could be reunited.

In less than five minutes, Shinichiro Nakabayashi met with Komiyayama's main force and urgently reported to Komiyayama Cheng the situation of Li Yunlong's rest camp that he had found.
