In a dense forest two miles outside the eastern city of Licheng, in the snow-covered dense forest, a troop that had just arrived here was hidden in it.

"Regiment commander, I caught a Japanese squad leader in Licheng. According to the interrogation, the Japanese defenders in Licheng were the headquarters of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 77th Wing of the 39th Brigade of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army, and there was only less than one Japanese brigade in the city, about 1,000 people. However, Licheng is the location of the headquarters of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, and its 2nd and 3rd Infantry Brigades and other Japanese affiliated units are concentrated in Xiangyuan on the west side of Licheng, Lucheng in the southwest, and Shunping in the south. ”

In the dense forest, Duan Peng, the captain of the special combat team who came back from the front reconnaissance, personally reported to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said, "Who is the captain of the Japanese army in Licheng City?" ”。

"Mano Goro Osa, whose wing chief of staff is Sato Rintaro Nakasa. According to the interrogation of the captured leader of the devil squad, the commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army in the city was Matsumoto Lang Shaozuo, and after interrogation, it was learned that Mano Goro had called to mobilize the strength of one squadron each of the Japanese troops in Xiangyuan, Lucheng, and Shunping, which were closest to Licheng, to return to Licheng. Maybe in about half an hour, the devil reinforcements will gather under the city of Licheng! ”

At this time, the expressions of Zhang Dabiao and others, who were all gathered around Li Yunlong, suddenly felt very solemn and solemn, the Japanese defenders in Licheng had closed the city and imposed martial law, and the Japanese troops in the surrounding counties also accelerated their speed to return to Licheng. This is an extremely unfavorable situation for the new regiment.

As soon as Duan Peng finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, immediately said loudly: "Regiment commander, the situation is not good. Li Cheng has been under martial law, and the devil defenders in the city have been prepared, are we still attacking Li Cheng as originally planned? If we attack Licheng, we may not have enough time! ”。

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said: "Judging from the current situation, a few minutes before the capture of Dongyang Pass, the Japanese defenders of Dongyang Pass have already warned the devils in Licheng. That's why the devils in Licheng will be on guard! However, we have already arrived outside the city of Li City at this time, and it is too late to withdraw at this time! ”。

"Commander, do you mean to continue the attack on Li Cheng? In this case, we will only have about half an hour to take Licheng before the Japanese troops in the surrounding areas of Licheng return to Licheng! And the Japanese army in the city of Licheng had more than 1,000 people. Moreover, the strength of weapons and equipment is not weak, and the opponent also has several Type 92 infantry guns. He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said worriedly.

However, Li Yunlong still waved his hand and insisted: "We must insist on attacking Licheng, as long as we defeat Licheng." Even if the Japanese reinforcements from the surrounding cities of Licheng rushed to the city of Licheng, our defense of the city would be enough to crush the Japanese troops who returned to the division. What's more, judging from the confessions obtained by the devil squad leader who Duan Peng captured, the total strength of the devils returning to Licheng in these three places is only three squadrons, about six or seven hundred people. Even if all of them return to the city of Licheng, plus the strength of the devils in the city, it is only about 16,700 people, which is on par with our troops. ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Therefore, we must completely conquer Licheng before the Japanese reinforcements arrive in Licheng. When the time comes, things will be easy. I order: Da Biao, your first battalion will attack Dongcheng. ”。

"Understood, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! Zhang Dabiao didn't hesitate, and immediately saluted.

Li Yunlong nodded, and ordered He Yongjie: "Old He, your four battalions will attack the north and south cities, and I will take other reserves to block the outside of the west city." Cut off the way for the Japanese army in Licheng to retreat to Xiangyuan! Within half an hour, the city of Li must be conquered. ”。

"Yes, Captain!" He Yongjie stood up and saluted, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Li Yunlong turned to Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company, and said: "Sun Desheng, take your cavalry and cruise around Licheng, and cut off the fleeing Japanese army at any time. Don't let a devil escape from Laicheng! ”。

At this time, the cavalry company commander Sun Desheng had already secretly returned to the team when Li Yunlong and the others went south from the Flying Fox Pass, because Sun Desheng smiled and said: "Understand, regiment commander!" Mission completion guaranteed! ”。

"Okay, then let's go! Two minutes later, the artillery team prepared to shell Dongcheng and cover the main attack of the first battalion on Dongcheng. The rest of the troops will follow the arrangement just now and storm the direction of the cities of Licheng! ”

"Yes, Captain!" Everyone stood up and saluted in unison, and then left one after another to prepare.

The time of two minutes passed quickly, and the troops under the command of Li Yunlong, who rushed out of the dense forest, quickly completed the encirclement of Li Cheng. Waiting for the Japanese troops in the city of Licheng to discover and report to the commander of the 77th Wing of the Japanese army in the city, Goro Mano, Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire had already focused on the east city.

"Bang bang bang!" Three hundred meters outside the eastern city of Licheng, behind the hidden hillside, Wang Chengzhu's artillery found the artillery firing position, and in two minutes they were ready, set up mortars and launched a fierce artillery attack on the eastern city wall of Licheng.

Shells burst out from the muzzles of the mortars, and more than a dozen artillery guns of themselves and captured from the Japanese army launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the eastern city wall and its gates of Licheng without stopping.

Cannonballs whistled with long tail flames, screaming and smashing into the walls of the eastern city in the snow.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!!"

The shells fell, and the Japanese soldiers defending the city were caught off guard in a daze. Shells exploded one after another, fragments flew everywhere, and the Japanese troops who occupied the head of the city obviously did not expect that the troops commanded by Li Yunlong and others would attack Licheng so quickly from Dongyang Pass, so that until Li Yunlong and others surrounded Licheng, the Japanese troops defending the city did not find out.

Although the Japanese army had closed the city gate according to the order of Mano Goro, they went to the castle to guard it. It's just that too many devil soldiers didn't think that the new regiment that attacked Dongyang Pass at that time would come to Licheng so quickly, and the attack speed was also amazing.

All of a sudden, the Japanese soldiers at the head of Dongcheng City were bombed and suffered heavy casualties. The Japanese troops defending the eastern city were only a squadron, distributed along the head of the city, and not a single battlement could be full.

Wang Chengzhu was bombarded by artillery fire, and the Japanese troops at the head of Dongcheng City were bombed within a few minutes, and at least more than 30 people were killed and wounded by artillery fire.

At this time, seeing that his artillery fire quickly suppressed the artillery fire of the Japanese army in the east of Licheng, Li Yunlong waved his hand and directly ordered Zhang Dabiao to lead a battalion to charge.

In the midst of the shouts of killing, Zhang Dabiao personally took a Czech-style light machine gun and led a battalion of five or six hundred people to break into the city directly through the east gate of the city that was blasted open by Wang Chengzhu's artillery fire.

The fierce battle of Licheng began, and the news of the loss of the Dongcheng gate soon reached the ears of the commander of the 77th Wing of the Japanese Army, Mano Goro Osa, who commanded the castle.

The old devil heard a call from the defenders of the East City and was shocked when he learned that the East City Gate was lost.
