"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dabiao and the others, who got the ambush mission, smiled and saluted one after another.

Li Yunlong continued: "Concentrate two battalions, one cavalry battalion should be enough to eat this lone Japanese cavalry unit that is going north to reinforce it. Once this Japanese army was taken, Matsui Ishone's life was even more sad. ”。

Everyone thinks so, you must know that Liaodong is very big, and Rehe is even more so. Once the cavalry in Matsui Shigen's hands is lost, it will be very difficult to catch up with Li Yunlong's department at that time.

Suddenly thinking of something, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao, who commanded the troops to capture the Japanese army headquarters in Linxi County: "Dabiao, have you taken down the devil's brigade headquarters and cleaned the battlefield, have you found the devil's radio station, code book or something?" ”。

"Commander, you reminded me. The devil's radio station was blown up, but we seized the devil's codebook! Zhang Dabiao didn't know what Li Yunlong meant by asking this, but he still said.

Li Yunlong frowned deeply, and then asked people to find a communication soldier.

Seeing the signal soldiers, Li Yunlong immediately asked: "You are responsible for listening to the radio signals of the devils in Linxi County, did you find that the devil command headquarters in the county town sent a report outside at the end of the battle?" ”。

"Commander, no!" The communications soldier replied succinctly.

Li Yunlong nodded, and then explained to the puzzled eyes of Zhang Dabiao and the others: "If Hattori Musashi finally withdraws from his brigade headquarters, he will use the radio to send a warning to Matsui Ishine in the direction of Chifeng to inform them of the situation. At that time, the devil cavalry troops going north were bound to go north cautiously. It's going to be hard for us to ambush them. ”。

When Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun and others heard this, they all nodded, which they didn't expect for a while.

You must know that the little devil is not a bad pen, once he knows that Linxi County is lost. At that time, it should be impossible for the 2,000 devil cavalry to go north to reinforce it, and you must know that the lone army going north to reinforce will inevitably fall into the attack of a new group of soldiers commanded by Li Yunlong and others.

Shen Qun, the commander of the second battalion, suggested: "Regiment commander, this is easy to do!" According to the words of the communications soldier, at this time, the news of the loss of the county seat of Linxi, Hattori Musashi should not have sent a warning to the outside world. At this time, the 2,000 Japanese cavalry who had already gone north from Chifeng were still rushing north. This is extremely beneficial for us. ”。

"Not bad!"

Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "But when we attack the county seat of Linxi, we must let Matsui Shigen know that the county seat is still in the hands of Hattori Musashi." Now the devil's radio station has been blown up, but their codebook is in our hands. It's a great luck in the midst of misfortune, like this, the signal soldier! ”。

"Captain!" The communications soldiers heard the words and stood right.

Li Yunlong ordered: "Use the devil's codebook to send a report to Matsui Shigen and tell the devil that Linxi County is still in the hands of the Japanese army." However, the defenders of the county town suffered heavy casualties, and there were less than 1,000 men and horses, and the 2,000 devil cavalry who asked for reinforcements from the north accelerated their speed to the north. ”。

"Hey, understood, Captain." The communications corps had been standing aside, naturally knowing the plans of Zhang Dabiao and the others to discuss.

Li Yunlong then ordered Zhang Dabiao and the others: "According to the plan just now, the first battalion, the third battalion, and the cavalry battalion immediately went south and entered the small valley on the north bank of the Xilamulun River for an ambush on both sides of the eighteen miles. The first battalion is in the north, the third battalion is in the south, and the cavalry battalion is ready to fight at any time to strangle the devil cavalry who break through. I'll give you three and a half hours to ambush and kill those 2,000 devils here. After that, they quickly went north and withdrew from the county town area of Linxi with us. ”。 58 reading

"Yes, Commander, I promise to complete the mission." Zhang Dabiao, Ma Wenhai and Sun Desheng immediately stood up and saluted, and their tones became serious.

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, the three of you will rest for twenty minutes, and then go south to enter the ambush position." If there is a situation, I will contact your radio station. ”

Zhang Dabiao and the other three nodded, and then each went back to command the troops to seize the time to rest and recuperate, and then went south to ambush the position.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, continued to command other units to clean up the battlefield, collect the soldiers and soldiers, mobilize the common people in the county, and seize the time to dispose of the corpses of the Japanese puppet soldiers who were killed.

Just when Li Yunlong and others decided to ambush and eat the 2,000 devil cavalry of the lone army going north to reinforce the defenders of the Japanese army in Linxi, Matsui Shigen had already led the main force of the devil infantry of the rest of the 3rd Division to leave Chifeng and go north, along the road between Linxi County and Chifeng City, and the mountain road quickly went north.

Matsui Shigen, who had rested in Chifeng City for a wave, had recovered his physical strength, urging the devil infantry of the rest of the 3rd Division to speed up and go north.

In any case, it is necessary to chase Li Yunlong's main forces and strangle them. If Li Yunlong led his troops to withdraw to the new regimental base area in Hengshan, Jin Province, Matsui Shigen would feel anxious.

The Hengshan base area was the "old nest" of the new regiment, which was thwarted in several large-scale attacks commanded by high-ranking Japanese officers such as Yamamoto Kazuki and Itagaki Seishiro. It shows that the Hengshan base area of the new regiment is very difficult to fight, and in terms of the current living strength of the Japanese army, it is very wasteful to spend on attacking the base area of the new regiment.

Therefore, it was the best time to take advantage of Li Yunlong's base to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong's troops in the territory controlled by the Japanese army. No matter how many Japanese casualties there were, it was worth it.

Along the way, Matsui Ishine frowned, constantly studying the map unfolded by the two devil staff officers.

Chifeng and Linxi County are more than 200 kilometers away, and it takes more than four hours for the forced march to reach the county seat. Based on the latest urgent telegram from Hattori Musashi, the Japanese defenders of Rinshi suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid it is impossible to hold out for four hours, or, an hour is enough.

Looking up, Matsui saw that the sky was gradually sinking into twilight, and the night was approaching.

"Kagesa-kun, it's getting dark. The soldiers were ordered to prepare to light torches and continue the rapid march north. Matsui Ishine turned his head to the chief of staff on the side, Kage Satsuaki, and instructed.

Kageza Zhenzhao hurriedly said: "Hai, Your Excellency General, I have already ordered the troops to set off, and I am ready to light the torches at any time. ”。

It's just that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao felt in his heart that he was a little anxious to go north in such a hurry.

The county seat of Linxi was at least five or six hours away from him, and it was still at the speed of a rapid march. Although the 2,000 mixed Japanese cavalry had already moved north, according to the speed, it would be at least an hour or so to kill below the county seat of Linxi.

However, at present, the devil defenders in Linxi County have suffered heavy casualties by Li Yunlong's troops besieging and fighting, and it is still unknown whether they can hold out until the 2,000 vanguard cavalry can reach reinforcements. Thinking about it this way, at this time, Matsui Shigen made the plan to immediately go north from Chifeng to continue to pursue Li Yunlong, which seemed a little hasty.
