Chapter 540: Attack on Xiangning
In Heilong Town, in a temporary dwelling, Li Yunlong temporarily set up his headquarters here.
Subsequently, Zhang Dabiao and other principal operational commanders were summoned to convene an operational meeting to coordinate the direction of action for the next step.
After everyone gathered, Li Yunlong waved his hand and motioned for Wei Dayong to take out the military map from his briefcase and spread it out on a table.
"Brothers, now we have entered Heilong Town on the west bank of the Fen River. Next, our guerrilla warfare on the west bank of the Fen River began. The big guys are all talking about it, where are we going to fight next? Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said in a condensed voice.
At this time, everyone had just marched to Black Dragon Town to fight a small battle, and they were still very excited.
Therefore, first of all, the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao said loudly: "Regiment commander, according to the previous plan, it is to go north to Gusha Mountain and move around on the west bank of the Fen River. Judging from the map, the Japanese garrisons in the cities on the west bank of the Fen River are not many, but they are close to the Tongpu Railway, and I suggest relying on the Gusha Mountain to maneuver in the north and south! ”。
Zhang Dabiao had just finished speaking, and without waiting for Li Yunlong to answer, he saw the fourth battalion commander Hé Yǒng Jie and said: "Regiment commander, I suggest that the troops attack Xiangning in the southwest, and then go south to Longmen Mountain to coerce Hejin!" ”。
"You're all right! However, attacking Ningxiang, and then going south to Longmen Mountain, coercing Hejin, may not have much effect! Kawazu was at the mouth of the river, and the Japanese had a small fleet in the Yellow River section ready to shell the river. For our infantry, the threat is great! Li Yunlong did not agree with Hé Yǒngjie's suggestion.
Moreover, Li Yunlong knew that at this time, Wanquan, Ronghe, Anyi and other places south of Hejin, that is, the southernmost area of the Tongpu Railway, near the section on the paper, had been occupied by the Japanese army. There was a wing headquarters of the 79th Wing of the Japanese Army, and the garrison was very strong. And close to the railway, the reinforcements of the little devils will be very fast, and it is really not a good place for mobile combat.
However, at this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, heard Hé Yǒng Jie's suggestion, and suddenly said: "Regiment commander, Lao He's suggestion is not bad!" Even the regiment commander, you think that attacking Xiangning, entering Longmen Mountain, and threatening the land of Hejin is not an excellent combat direction. Then for the Japanese army, they would not have thought that we would turn south and attack the place near Nakajo Mountain, which they seemed to be heavily guarded! If we can hit here, it will definitely shake the Japanese army! ”。
"Da Biao, what you said seems to be good! You might want to consider it! ”
Li Yunlong said thoughtfully, and looked at the map!
I have to say that knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers, I will consider changing my body to be the supreme commander of the Japanese army along the Tongpu Railway. After the new regiment crossed the Fen River in the west, it was easier for the north and south to fight in a mobile operation, and it was bound to fight northward. After all, if you go all the way to the north for guerrilla warfare, you won't encounter too many Japanese troops. Even if the Japanese troops in the cities along the Tongpu Railway east of the Fen River would send reinforcements, it would be difficult to capture Li Yunlong's headquarters. However, the speed of the Japanese dispatch will be very fast.
However, if their own headquarters turned around and headed south, I believe that the Japanese high-level would not have thought that the lone army of the new regiment would be bold enough to cross the river and go south and attack in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain!
Once you can successfully hit Zhongtiao Mountain, relying on the topography of Zhongtiao Mountain, you can mobilize the Japanese army at any time. The shock caused to the Japanese army must not be ordinarily large.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong's expression was solemn, and it seemed that he had finally made up his mind.
"Okay, once the troops have rested for ten minutes in Heilong Town, the main force will attack Xiangning in the southwest! Duan Peng! ”
Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team, also attended the combat meeting as an observer, and when he heard Li Yunlong shouting about himself, he immediately stood up with joy and said: "Regiment leader! ”。
Li Yunlong pointed to the location in Ningxiang on the map and said, "You take the special combat team, immediately dispatch, and ride a war horse to attack Xiangning for reconnaissance." Be sure to find out how many enemy troops there are in Xiangning! Bring the radio and stay connected! ”。
"Understood, Captain!" Duan Peng saluted Li Yunlong in response, and immediately turned around and went out immediately!
The others, in a few minutes, went back one after another, directing their troops to prepare for the sortie.
Ten minutes later, Li Yunlong saw that everyone was ready, waved his hand, and led his troops to march to Xiangning in the southwest direction. At this time, the weather was gloomy, the north wind was howling, and the cold wind was biting, no one would have thought that Li Yunlong's troops would actually turn around and attack south.
At this time, in the city of Jiexiu, in the brigade headquarters of the 40th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, the Japanese staff officers were constantly swimming.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the troops of Fenxi and Wan'an have marched south and west respectively! However, for the time being, I haven't met Li Yunlong's Zhina army! Shinichiro Aso, chief of staff of the 40th Brigade, walked in front of Takahashi Taga and stood on his head.
Takahashi Taga was looking at the military map in front of him at this time, in the eyes of the old devil. Although there were not many Japanese troops on the west bank of the Fen River, the main counties and larger cities under the occupation were garrisoned by more Japanese troops.
In the event of an attack, there is still time to hold on and wait for reinforcements from the cities along the Tongpu Railway on the west and east banks of the Fen River.
Therefore, Takahashi Taga immediately waved his hand and asked: "Order them, be sure to tighten the encirclement route, once Li Yunlong's troops are discovered, they must step forward and entangle!" ”。
"Hai, Your Excellency Brigade Commander!" Shinichiro Aso nodded in response.
It's just that what the two old devils didn't know at this time was that at this time, Li Yunlong's department had already advanced towards Xiangning's discovery attack.
Xiangning is not far from Heilong Town, but the Japanese army in Xiangning has not yet received the news that Heilong Town has been attacked. After all, the west bank of the Fen River had not encountered too many squadrons before. The Japanese army, which had occupied Xiangning for a long time, did not expect that Heilong Town in the northeast would be attacked by Li Yunlong's troops.
At this time, outside the northern city of Xiangning County, Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team who rushed to Xiangning, saw that the gate of the county town was not closed, and Shi Shiran entered the city to investigate in disguise.
Until Li Yunlong led the main force of the army to secretly arrive outside Xiangning City, the enemy troops in Xiangning City had not yet noticed the arrival of Li Yunlong's army.
A few minutes later, Li Yunlong was in the temporary headquarters outside the city and saw Duan Peng and others who had rushed back from the city.
"Commander, it's all clear! In the city of Xiangning County, the enemy army did not have many troops. According to investigation, in the county town, there is a squadron of Japanese troops, a puppet army of 400 people, about 6 or 700 people! However, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is very weak, it originally belonged to the local security forces in Xiangning County, and when the little devil arrived in Xiangning before, the security forces in the city surrendered to the little devil without firing a shot! Duan Peng reported to Li Yunlong like a pearl.
Li Yunlong nodded, the enemy garrison in the general county town is not much, if it weren't for Xiangning's proximity to Longmen Mountain and the land of Hejin, maybe not even a single devil would have left troops here. After all, the Japanese army was gradually lacking in strength, and it was impossible to leave troops to garrison every place occupied.
