"Commander, that's a bit of a pity. Datong is a barrier of the whole Jin, defending the important place of Gyeonggi, and Datong is tightly defended, the facilities are solid, and the buildings are tall, it is really a military town, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's a pity to give up Datong. ”

Zhang Dabiao heard that Li Yunlong did not keep Datong at this time, but withdrew from Datong, which was a bit of a pity.

Datong is a military town, the city wall is strong, the city defense is complete, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is a heavy defense, there is still a chance to withstand the onslaught of the Japanese army.

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "If there is a division of troops in the hands of labor and management, it is still possible to defend Datong City." After all, the capture of Datong could cut off the transportation link between Xinkou and the northern passage of Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua and other places. But we now have less than 2,000 men and horses in our hands, and we have lost a lot of money by attacking Datong at night. By the way, how many more do we have now? ”。

At this time, Li Yunlong asked about the loss of his own troops attacking Datong.

The logistical statistics staff officer accompanying the army reported loudly: "Regiment commander, according to the losses counted by various departments, we have lost more than 200 soldiers in the attack on Datong, and more than 80 people have been seriously wounded. In this case, if we count the people who can be used as combatants with minor injuries, and we can also put them into battle, there are about 1,700 or so people. ”。

"It's barely the strength of a regiment, and the casualties are not too many. But with this amount of troops, it is a bit difficult to hold Datong. According to the telegram from Kong Jie, who blocked the south of Datong, the Japanese reinforcements from Huairen to Datong had at least one wing. In addition, the Japanese reinforcements galloping northeast of Datong to Yanggao and other places also had a wing, at least 3,000 Japanese troops, adding up to at least two wings, and about 8,000 to 10,000 Japanese troops counterattacked Datong. ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "In addition, we have intelligence and a secret report that the headquarters of the 21st Brigade of Seishiro Itagaki has withdrawn from Mayi City in the starry night and returned to the north to Datong, probably knowing that we are already attacking Datong. Therefore, the strength of the Japanese army that would attack Datong reached about 15,000 to 7,000 people. Therefore, the great harmony cannot be kept. ”。

"Then regiment commander, without further ado, where will we move to withdraw from Datong?" He Yongjie, the commander of the fourth battalion, said solemnly.

Li Yunlong didn't answer immediately, but just asked Wei Dayong, the monk who was protecting him, to take out the military map in his briefcase and spread it out on the table with the Japanese army's temporary division headquarters, and then pointed to the map.

"Brothers, now we occupy Datong. However, Itagaki Seishiro, two Japanese reinforcements returned to Datong. Once we hold Datong, we can only become the target of the Japanese siege. Although the walls of Datong are tall and strong. But our forces are not enough to defend Datong. Therefore, the withdrawal from Datong is a last resort. Li Yunlong said with a solemn expression.

Therefore, the suggestion of labor and management is that after the troops withdraw from Datong, they will retreat to Baishan Mountain at a gallop in the starry night. In Zhaojiayu, we still have the support of the people, and we can rest and replenish! Li Yunlong pointed to the white mountaineering area and said with a smile.

Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong pointing to Baishan Mountain, and said with a smile, "Commander, we feel a little bit back!" ”。

"Originally, our new regiment was eclectic. Once we are trapped in a city by the devil's army to fight an offensive and defensive battle, it is unacceptable for our current strength to be seriously insufficient to resist the Japanese army's strength of more than 10,000 troops, and we can only eat up the living force of the Japanese army through mobile operations, sneak attacks, etc. Losing land and saving people, saving people and losing land, that's what it means. Li Yunlong laughed.

Zhang Dabiao, He Yongjie and others nodded one after another, this is the reason.

If Li Yunlong and others had a division in their hands at this time, facing the onslaught of tens of thousands of Japanese troops such as the 21st Brigade of Itagaki Seishiro in Datong, everyone would not be afraid. After all, the Datong city wall is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and everyone is still confident in fighting a defensive battle with less than the Japanese siege force.

"Okay, since the brothers agree, then the troops withdraw from Datong and advance towards Baishan Mountain! Let the brothers clean up the battlefield and replenish the losses of the troops, and some of the soldiers will protect the light and serious wounded soldiers and go out of the city to Baishan Mountain first.! Li Yunlong nodded, and then gave an order.

Everyone stood up and saluted, "Yes, Commander!" ”。

And Li Yunlong took the personal guards down the Taiping Tower and marched directly towards the south city gate.

Soon, everyone cleaned up the battlefield, and transported the captured Japanese soldiers' grain, grass and ammunition in Datong City, as well as the silver dollars, coins and other assets in the captured Japanese reserve city out of the city, ready to assemble and withdraw from Datong City.

Ryosuke Tsuya, who was captured in the previous step, his mouth was still gagged at this time, and his hands and feet were still tied. But he was already chained to a wooden post, waiting to be shot.

Li Yunlong walked out of the south city gate and walked quickly in front of Ryosuke Gu. Immediately, Li Yunlong motioned to Wei Dayong and Monk Wei to take away the rag that blocked the mouth of Liansuke Gu.

The rag was taken away, and Ryosuke Gu glared at Li Yunlong angrily, stared at Li Yunlong in the cold wind and sneered, his mouth trembled and said, "Your Excellency is Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army of the Zhina Army, right?" Good means, good courage, dare to attack Datong City at night! ”。

"Haha, Ryosuke Guriya, you old devil didn't expect that I, Li Yunlong, would actually kill a horse pistol. And with less than 2,000 men and horses attacking Datong at night, you can still take advantage of the opportunity when you don't pay attention to it and break through the city from the West Gate in one fell swoop, right? Ha ha! It's a pity that you don't have a chance to regret it! Li Yunlong also sneered, Guya Liansuke took his 10th Division to participate in the attack on Jin Province, killing countless Chinese people, and the common people were also burned, killed and looted by the 10th Division, and the crimes could not be counted.

Ryosuke Tsuya heard a murderous aura from Li Yunlong's sneer, and his eyes rolled and said, "I am a prisoner of war in your new regiment, and I hope to be treated as a prisoner of war under the international convention." But looking at the current situation, are you trying to kill me? ”。

"You were captured in battle, and it is not in accordance with international conventions! So, you're on death row with Ryosuke Yaya! I'm sorry, but your reinforcements will arrive in Datong soon, so labor and management don't have time to talk nonsense with you! In the next life, don't be a little devil! ”

Without waiting for Ryosuke to come back to his senses, Li Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and left after finishing speaking.

Ryosuke Takuya scolded and accused the new regiment of not having the heart of an international convention and wantonly shooting Japanese prisoners of war.

It's just that Li Yunlong has already left and walked behind a set of infantry guns.

At this time, it is Wang Chengzhu who is responsible for the execution of the gunnar Gu Liansuke, and this kid has to do it himself!

"Commander, it's ready!" Wang Chengzhu saluted Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Fire!" ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Wang Chengzhu said, "Fifty meters in front of the target, prepare, release!" ”。

"Bang!" A loud sound of artillery bombardment suddenly came out, and with a whistling, a shell exploded in front of Ryosuke Takuya in less than a few seconds, and the old devil was blown to pieces on the spot and was killed with a bang.
