Ma Wenhai, the commander of the third battalion, suddenly lit up in his eyes, and more than a thousand war horses were enough to greatly improve his maneuverability.

"How many are more than a thousand?" Ma Wenhai rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao smiled and said, "It's probably more than 1,500!" Since most of the devil cavalry was blocked in the valley, they were hit hard by the fire from our flanks. So for the first time, the killed war horses did not look for a few. Until the cavalry of the little devil found that riding on horseback could only be reduced to a flank attack by firepower on both sides, and could only dismount to find a place to hide. Therefore, in the later battle, the two of us commanded the troops to fight the devil soldiers and not the war horses, so there was such a big capture. ”。

"Haha! At this moment, the head of the regiment must be happy. Ma Wenhai laughed, so many war horses are enough to make most of the soldiers on his side who sent troops this time have the ability to move.

In fact, a war horse can ride two people, good about three or four.

Of course, it is impossible to run long distances, but in a short period of time, the captured war horses and at least half of the number of war horses that they brought out of the base area were enough for Li Yunlong and the others to abandon the march on foot and rely on the war horses for maneuvering.

The significance of this is enormous.

Zhang Dabiao immediately commanded the troops with Ma Wenhai, Sun Desheng and others to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, and then discarded the corpses of the killed devil cavalry in the valley.

After all, once Matsui Ishine led his troops to kill here, he would inevitably encounter the corpses of more than 2,000 devil cavalry who were killed, and at that time, the old devil would be furious.

And to provoke Matsui Ishone, for Li Yunlong and others, an enraged devil commander will more or less make some wrong military decisions later.

For Li Yunlong and others, it is possible that a fighter plane will appear inadvertently.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Dabiao and others took most of the devil's horses, grain, grass, ammunition, weapons and equipment captured in the small valley and went north. The rest that could not be taken away were all blown up on the spot.

Soon, Zhang Dabiao and others, who returned to the north outside the county town of Linxi County with huge fruitful results, immediately reported the results to Li Yunlong.

At this time, Li Yunlong and others had already withdrawn from the county seat.

The battlefield in the county has been cleaned up, and most of the people in the city have temporarily moved out of the city.

You know, it's still possible for the little devil's fighter planes to carry out the bombing of Linxi County at night, just in case.

Li Yunlong's temporary headquarters was in a tent set up in a forest outside the southern city of Linxi County!

"Report to the head of the group, we're back!" Zhang Dabiao, Ma Wenhai, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu and several other commanders and fighters who went south to ambush the Japanese cavalry rushed in, and when they saw Li Yunlong, they all stood up and saluted.

Li Yunlong saw that everyone who came in was full of smiles, so he smiled and said, "Look at the appearance of you kids, the results are good?" ”。

"I'll report on the results!"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said with a smile: "Report to the regiment commander, this time, our two infantry battalions, with the cooperation of the cavalry battalion and the artillery battalion, completely annihilated more than 2,300 unsuspecting Japanese cavalry in a small valley. 1,583 war horses, more than 1,000 horse guns, and more than 1,400 war horses were still available. In addition, there are countless bullets, which can be used with the Devil Type 38 rifle we captured! Three mortars, five grenadiers, and a total of seven light and heavy machine guns were also captured!". 361 Reading

Hey?

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. In fact, the captured devil's weapons and ammunition no longer made Li Yunlong a little interested. Instead, when he heard that so many war horses had been captured, he was overjoyed after some calculations.

"Haha! You guys are playing well! ”

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "With so many devil war horses captured, plus the war horses we brought out, the war horses captured by the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Awl Mountain Completely Annihilated before, the number of war horses in our hands is estimated to be more than 7,000, right?" ”。

"Commander, according to calculations, it has exceeded seven thousand! One horse is more than enough for each person! Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who had made a quick calculation, said happily that although he returned to the base area, some of the war horses would be used by the infantry battalions.

But Sun Desheng knew that the regiment commander had already planned to form a special cavalry unit.

At present, he Sun Desheng is the commander of the cavalry battalion, and once he returns to the base area at that time, it will be more than enough to form a cavalry division. After all, there are so many war horses!

Seeing that Sun Desheng was almost bleeding, everyone laughed.

With Sun Desheng's words, everyone realized that at this time, they were no longer afraid of the main infantry of the rest of Matsui Shigen's 3rd Division.

You must know that having a war horse in his hands allows Li Yunlong to command the troops to conduct mobile operations at will. In addition, it is already spring at this time, and everything is recovering, especially in the provinces of Rehe, Chahar, and Suiyuan in the north, grasslands, forests, and forests, there are a large number of fresh grass that can be eaten by war horses.

Therefore, there is no obstacle to the long-distance march and rush.

"At present, we are in Linxi County, and the troops under the command of Matsui Shigen have set off from Chifeng to the north. However, Chifeng is more than 200 kilometers away from the county seat of Linxi, and even if it is a forced march, it will not be possible to reach the county seat until midnight. So for us, even if we rest for three or four hours in the county, there is a high probability that there is no danger. But I want to see if the big guy has any other ideas? ”

Li Yunlong then motioned for everyone to be quiet and pointed to the military map that was laid out.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, who had been the chief of staff, said first: "Regiment commander, according to our combat strategy, it is a mobile operation, dragging the main force of Matsui Shigen all the way up the mountains and wading through the water. Looking for an opportunity to eat Matsui Ishine's troops, now the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine has been annihilated by half of the elite troops, but there are still about half. At present, the Japanese army has rested for several hours in Chifeng and has regained its strength. I don't think it's as good as this, go north through the Sukexilu Mountain, enter the Bayan area to rest and recuperate, then go south along the mountain range, and then take the Ulan line to enter the Suiyuan area again, and then go south into Jin Province and return to the base area. ”。

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

In particular, Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion, said: "Regiment commander, I think it's okay!" In addition, according to the latest information, the large-scale attack of the Japanese army on the main force of the 1st Theater of the Nationalist Army at Nakajo Mountain is progressing rapidly. The casualties of the main force of the Nationalist Army's First Theater were very large, and I estimate that within a few days, the 160,000 horses in the First Theater will not be the opponent of the Devil's army of more than 100,000 people. Once the battle at Mt. Nakajo is over, the mobile forces in the hands of Naosaburo Okabe, who is also the commander of the First Army of the Devils, will be greatly increased, and at that time, it will inevitably concentrate forces to attack our Hengshan base area. We need to go back sooner. ”。

Li Yunlong nodded, greatly agreeing with Shen Qun's analysis. After coming out for a long time, although the results of the battle were great, once the battle of Nakajo Mountain was over, Okabe Naosaburo would have three or four divisions in his hands.

At that time, if Okabe Naosaburo recklessly mobilized more than two divisions to besiege the Hengshan base area, Zhao Gang, who stayed in his hometown, estimated that he would not be able to withstand it.

"Okay, then we'll decide to go back to the division's base! The troops rested for two hours, and then went north to Bayan! Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the table and ordered.

"Understood, Captain." Everyone is on the right path!
