Chapter 544: The Siege Begins!

"Not bad!" Li Yunlong bowed his head and said: "The devil suddenly strengthened the defense of Hejin City, and closed the city gate for martial law, which was a sudden move in itself. You must know that Hejin City is already in the hinterland of the Japanese army's control area, deep in the riverside land, with convenient transportation, and there are Japanese garrisons to the west, east, south and north to support! It seems that Hatohiko Asaka Palace should still be in the city! ”。

The commander of the fourth battalion, Hé Yǒng, said loudly: "Regiment commander, how to fight?" ”。

Li Yunlong didn't answer immediately, but just asked Duan Peng, who came back to report, "What is the defense situation of the Japanese army?" ”。

"According to the reconnaissance, the head of Hejin City has been tightly guarded by the Japanese army, and the guard has been strengthened compared to the past! The Japanese defenders at the head of the city in the direction of each city gate are estimated to have about 200 troops guarding it! There are only a small number of puppet troops in the city, which should be because Hejin is located on the bank of the Fen River, so Hejin is too important. Therefore, the number of puppet troops in Hejin City is not large, and according to secret investigations, there are only less than one company of puppet troops! Most of the puppet army stood guard outside the city gates! Duan Peng pointed to the map placed on the snowy ground, rubbed his hands and said solemnly.

Li Yunlong nodded, which was consistent with the situation of the Japanese army in Hejin that he had obtained before.

So, Li Yunlong pondered for a while, then pointed to the map and said: "In this way, without further ado, while the Japanese troops in Hejin City have not discovered us, we can solve the enemy defenders in Hejin within twenty minutes!" ”。

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "Zhang Dabiao, your first battalion is mainly attacking Beicheng and Dongcheng, hé yǒng Jie, your fourth battalion is attacking Xicheng and Nancheng, and each of the two battalions has 800 men!" The remaining 400 or so people are under my overall command and will reinforce the areas where you need reinforcements at any time! Note that the troops that attack the city hold on to the Japanese headquarters in the city and attack them directly. I estimate that the old devil prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace should be staying in the headquarters of the Japanese army in the city, where the Japanese army has strong combat effectiveness. Hatohiko Asaka won't rest in the rest of the city! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" Hé Yǒng Jie and Zhang Dabiao immediately nodded and saluted.

And then Li Yunlong continued: "Wang Chengzhu's artillery team is still divided into two divisions to support the siege of the first and fourth battalions, don't be stingy with shells in this battle!" ”。

"Yes, Commander! Brothers in the infantry are guaranteed to be supported by our artillery at any time! Artillery captain Wang Chengzhu smiled and reassured.

"Sun Desheng!" Li Yunlong said to Sun Desheng, the commander of the cavalry company on the opposite left.

Sun Desheng immediately responded: "Commander! ”。

"Your cavalry company is divided into two routes, and is on guard to the west and east, and to report the situation at any time! Intercept Japanese reinforcements and report to us in time on the situation of the enemy! Li Yunlong pointed to the east and west sides of Hejin City and said.

Sun Desheng said: "Understood, regimental leader! ”。

When Li Yunlong saw that the order was issued, he said in a deep voice: "This time I attacked Hejin City, I don't want to completely annihilate the Japanese defenders in the city, as long as I kill or capture Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace, all troops will immediately assemble and retreat north to Longmen Mountain!" ”。

"Regiment commander, won't we cross the Fen River south and attack Zhongtiao Mountain by then?" Zhang Dabiao asked suspiciously at this time, the target of his attack before was Zhongtiao Mountain!

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Things have changed now, once we attack Hejin City, the Japanese defenders in the city will inevitably call the surrounding Japanese garrisons for reinforcements. The troops guarding the Japanese army may have a radio station, and we cannot afford to hope that the devil garrison brigade in the city will not be equipped with a radio station. Once something happened to Hatohiko Asakanomiya, it was difficult to ensure that the nearby Japanese troops desperately surrounded Kawazu Castle. It would be too dangerous for us to go south at this time, so it would be better to retreat north to Longmen Mountain and hide! Execute the command! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and the others also understood, and immediately responded in unison.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and signaled the main combat commanders to immediately return to their respective units, and commanded the troops to assemble and secretly surround Hejin City.

At this time, the Japanese troops in Hejin City did not know that a squadron had already surrounded them.

At the head of the Kawazu North Castle, Captain Takata Tokuda, the leader of the 1st Infantry Squadron of the Japanese Kawazu Garrison Brigade, was standing at the head of the North Castle with his hands rubbed and looking out of the city.

I saw the snow outside the city, a snowy scene in the north, and there was no one on the road outside the city. Because the Japanese army issued a temporary martial law order in Hejin City, although it lasted only from today to tomorrow afternoon, the notice posted outside the city on the wall on the side of the city gate made the people who entered the city understand that Hejin City could not enter today, so no ordinary people entered the city soon.

Outside the city, there is naturally no trace of Liao.

"Bagaya Road, hell, why martial law! Yaga! Inu Kyotaro this day! Dead, dead, dead! "Takuta Tokuda scolded in his heart, and kept cursing the captain of the garrison who issued martial law, Kyotaro Inu, after all, Takuta Tokuda wants to warm the quilt with his own friends today!

Suddenly, a loud bang came from a distance.

"What's going on?" Takata Tokuda's ears were pretty good, and he immediately heard the sound of bangbangbang.

Suddenly, a shrill sound came from far and near from outside the city, getting closer and closer, and the whistling sound made Takuta Tokuda realize that something was wrong in an instant!

"Bagaya Road, shelling !!" Takashi Tokuda shouted, looked up, and saw dark dots slowly hitting the sky in the distance.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The shells of the Type 92 infantry cannon smashed heavily on the head of the northern city, one of which was less than ten meters away from Takata, and it exploded violently, and the bricks and stones on the city head were scattered and splashed.

Some Japanese soldiers defending the city were caught off guard by the bombing and were killed on the spot.

"The shelling of the Type 92 infantry artillery, Baga Ya Road, what's going on?" Takata Tokuda fell to the ground after shouting a word in the first round. A Japanese guard beside him lay dead on Tokuda Takata's body, so that Tokuda Takata was uninjured in the sky.

It's just that at this time, the loud noise of bào zhà continued, and the Japanese soldiers at the head of the northern city were suddenly shelled, and they were bombed in all directions. Especially for the Japanese troops garrisoned in Hejin City, the combat effectiveness of these Japanese troops can only be regarded as third-rate, and when they encounter large-scale artillery bombardment, they may not be much better than the troops of the Jin Sui Army.

"Sir, there is a Chinese army attacking the city! There are at least hundreds of people, and they have already rushed to our northern city! A Japanese soldier came running from a distance, covered in blood, and reported to Tokuda Takata.

"Nani?" Takashi Tokuda was too frightened, risked his life to walk to the edge of the battlement, looked up at the outside of the city, and saw a new regiment of soldiers of at least three or four hundred people rushing towards the north gate of the city, which was less than 100 meters away from the city gate.
