After the war, Liaocheng was still in the early morning to dawn, and some of the fires caused by the fighting in the city were quickly extinguished by a new group of soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield.

Walking in the headquarters of Masaaki Ushijima, Li Yunlong frowned. Although Ushijima Masaaki's squadron headquarters was bombed into ruins, the signal corps of his own army quickly reported to Li Yunlong less than a minute after the end of the battle, and intercepted the radio sent by the Japanese army in Liaocheng City to the headquarters of the 5th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in Gaotang asking for reinforcements.

As his own communications soldiers handed Li Yunlong the contents of the telegram translated by the Japanese army to and from the radio, Li Yunlong's brows furrowed. Then, at this time, he walked through the room where Ushijima Masaaki's headquarters was located, and saw small radio parts that had been blown into several pieces.

"The regiment commander, caught a few sneak attacks of the Imperial Army, and after some interrogation, I finally came to the conclusion why the Japanese squadron in Liaocheng City was equipped with a radio station. According to the information provided by the interrogated puppet army prisoners, this was a batch of military supplies delivered by the 5th Independent Brigade of the Gaotang Japanese Army to Shouzhangcheng, south of Liaocheng, a few days ago, and there were several small military radios. And because of the heavy snow a few days ago, the road from Liaocheng to Shouzhang was blocked, and it was difficult to move forward. Therefore, this batch of military supplies was temporarily stored in the Battle of Liaocheng. It is estimated that the commander of the garrison squadron of the Japanese army in Liaocheng, Masaaki Ushijima, used these radios to directly ask for reinforcements from the commander of the 5th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in Gaotang! ”

After a pause, Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team who came to report the situation, continued: "So, according to the time, most of the enemy garrisons in Guanxian and Tangyi in the west of Liaocheng are the Imperial Cooperative Army, and there is no Japanese army to guard them. Only Boping in the north and south directions of Liaocheng, the Japanese garrison in Acheng has been dispatched, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Liaocheng in more than ten minutes. ”。

At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion, who were gathered around Li Yunlong, also frowned when they heard this, and it seemed that their traces had finally been discovered by the other party. But also, after all, the onslaught on Liaocheng, even if the Japanese commander of Liaocheng was a fool, he knew that there could be no large force of cavalry near Liaocheng, and after a little thought, he knew that it was more than 2,000 cavalry on his own side that was rampaging in the Shandong region and came and went like the wind.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the Japanese commander in Liaocheng did everything possible to request reinforcements from the commander of the 5th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in Gaotang, Yama Mototo.

"Regiment Commander, without further ado, even if it is Guanxian County in the west, the enemy army in Tangyi has strengthened its vigilance, but from the mouths of the puppet soldiers captured in Liaocheng, it can be seen that only the Imperial Association Army guards the city in the two places, and the number is the same as what we found before, and the total number will not exceed five hundred. Let's withdraw! Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, suggested to Li Yunlong in a condensed voice, and at this time, it can be seen from the content of the intercepted Japanese radio that Yamamoto Sota had already reported to Iida Zhenggu that Liaocheng had been attacked by the main force of the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, Yamamoto Sota had already directly asked Iida Sadagu to let the Japanese fighters that had already taken off from Jinan Airport turn to attack over Liaocheng. At this time, there are only more than ten minutes left before dawn, and it is time to evacuate Liaocheng.

Sure enough, I saw Li Yunlong bowing his head and saying: "Da Biao is right, order the brothers to assemble immediately, blow up all the grain, grass and ammunition that can't be taken away, and don't leave the little devil at all!" Withdraw, withdraw! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone responded violently, and then scattered and commanded all the troops to assemble behind the west gate of Liaocheng, and with Li Yunlong's order, the longitudinal horse withdrew from Liaocheng and galloped to the west of Liaocheng Guanxian and Tangyi to attack and advance.

At this time, according to Boping, who was ordered by Yamamoto Sota, the Japanese army in the direction of Acheng was advancing north and south, and at this time it was still struggling to march along the highway to Liaocheng for reinforcements. However, due to the heavy snowfall on the road, although the snow was not very deep, it also greatly delayed the rapid march of the Japanese reinforcements to Liaocheng.

At this time, the commander of the Japanese brigade in the headquarters of the 5th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army in Gaotang City, Yamamoto Sota, was frowning. Because when Li Yunlong's command post completely annihilated the Japanese puppet army in Liaocheng, Ushijima Masaaki was killed on the spot after being hit by dozens of shells from Wang Chengzhu's headquarters, and the radio station of the headquarters was also blown up, and he didn't even have time to send out the last farewell telegram.

Therefore, at this time, Yamamoto Sota walked around with a frown on his brows at the brigade headquarters, and then waved to the Japanese communications staff officer in charge of the radio at the brigade headquarters and asked: "Yagaya Road, can't you contact Ushijima Masaaki's garrison squadron?" ”。

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, I haven't been contacted yet. Ten minutes ago, they asked for reinforcements to speed up the speed to reinforce Liaocheng, and they would wait for reinforcements when they called back. It's just that after a few minutes, our radio station can't get in touch with the defenders of Liaocheng! ”

Yamamoto said a little angrily: "Yaga Yalu, continue to contact." In addition, the reinforcements from Boping and Acheng are urgently telegraphed, speed up for me, and I must rush to Liaocheng before Li Yunlong's troops conquer Liaocheng! Otherwise, all of them will be dead, dead! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" The staff officer of the brigade and regiment communicated with the Japanese army a little helplessly, and it was not his fault that he couldn't contact the defenders of Liaocheng, at least there was no problem with his radio station, and if there was a problem, it could only be something happened to the Japanese army in Liaocheng.

At this time, the chief of staff of the 5th Independent Brigade Regiment, Kenta Matsuda, who was standing in Yamamoto Sota, persuaded in a low voice: "Your Excellency Brigade Commander, I am a little worried about my humble position, and the garrison squadron of Masaaki Ushijima may no longer exist!" ”。

"Nani? How can it be? There are more than 300 imperial warriors in Liaocheng, and more than 400 imperial troops are involved in the garrison of Liaocheng. Can't the total strength of more than 700 troops hold even half an hour? Matsuda-kun? Yamamoto said with a frown.

Although Kenta Matsuda saw Yamamoto Kantata's dissatisfaction, the old devil and Yamamoto Kantata also cooperated for several years and defeated many main divisions of the National Army, which can be regarded as despising the Chinese army.

It's just that at this time, for the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army led by Li Yunlong, it is not long before the enemy commander can meet the main forces of the Japanese army without falling behind, and the combat strength of his department is even Iida Zhengu in Jinan City.

What's more, Kenta Matsuda had also studied Li Yunlong and his subordinates for a long time, and knew that even if the combat strength of the new regiment was surrounded by several Japanese wings, it would be difficult to completely annihilate them in a short period of time. In addition, at this time, the opponent was fully armed with cavalry, galloping vertically and horizontally, and it was not impossible to completely annihilate the headquarters of Ushijima Masaaki in Liaocheng before the reinforcements rushed to Liaocheng.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, nothing is impossible! Li Yunlong can't be taken lightly, even His Excellency Commander Iida can't help it, let alone at this time! ”

Kenta Matsuda smiled bitterly: "What's more, it is impossible for Masaaki Ushijima not to send the last farewell telegram to the brigade headquarters at the last moment of the battle. Perhaps at this time, Li Yunlong's troops had already evacuated Liaocheng and advanced to attack the area around Guanxian! ”。

Without waiting for Shan Yuanzuo to answer the question, the Japanese staff officer of the brigade headquarters suddenly withdrew and returned at this time, and hurriedly reported to the two old devils: "Your Excellency the brigade commander, chief of staff, Li Yunlong sent a clear code telegram after evacuating Liaocheng, and at this time, his headquarters has been killed in the area of Guanxian and Tangyi!" ”。

"Nani?" Yamamoto Sota and Kenta Matsuda are two old devils who know each other, and their eyes are full of incredulity, what the hell are slapping them in the face!
