Less than a few minutes after recovering Huangze Pass, Li Yunlong Shi Shiran strolled through the pass.

In the Huangze Pass, there are the corpses of Japanese soldiers who were killed everywhere, as well as Japanese-made guns and ammunition scattered all over the pass. After the fierce battle, some buildings in Huangze Pass were blown into ruins. The fires caused by the explosion of some shells are being extinguished by the soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield.

At this time, Zhang Dabiao and others had already gathered around Li Yunlong, and at this time, a staff officer who had counted the results of the battle with the army walked quickly in front of everyone and saluted, and immediately reported to Li Yunlong: "Report to the regiment commander, the Japanese army that broke through has been chased and killed by the cavalry company commanded by Sun Desheng, and it is estimated that it will be completely annihilated soon." In addition, in the raid to recover Huangze Pass, our troops suffered 11 casualties, of which 8 were killed. He killed 189 Japanese soldiers guarding the pass, and captured more than 200 Japanese-made Type 38 rifles, three light and heavy machine guns, five grenadiers, and two mortars. There are more than 80,000 bullets, and more than 300 melon grenades of the little devils! ”。

"Well, the brothers played well! The sacrificed soldiers found a hidden place in the woods outside the west gate of Huangze Pass and buried them well. If the rest of the wounded fighters were not seriously injured, there was no problem with them all moving with the troops, right? Li Yunlong asked the staff officer who reported the results and losses.

"Commander, there is no problem."

Li Yunlong nodded, and motioned for the statistical staff officer who reported to go down to deal with the matter behind the sacrificed soldiers. Then, let Wei Dayong take out the map of the army from his briefcase and spread it on the ground, signaling the main commanders and fighters to step forward.

"Brothers, now we have recovered Huang Zeguan. But the brothers all understand that it is impossible for us to leave troops to guard Huang Ze Pass, which is at the junction of Jin Province and Ji Province. Once the Japanese army learns about it, it is impossible for either Tada Jun or Yoshio Shinozuka to let Huang Zeguan go into our hands. Therefore, after five minutes later, after the troops finished cleaning up the battlefield, they immediately withdrew from Huangze Pass! ”

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, said in a condensed voice: "Regiment commander, after withdrawing from Huangze Pass, we will attack Liao County in the north?" ”。

"Not bad! According to the previous plan, we went to Liao County, Yushe, Wuxiang, and Mi County to attack Dagu, Dongyang, and Yuci in the north, and entered the south gate of Taiyuan! forced Yoshio Shinozuka to send troops back for reinforcements, so that Yoshio Shinozuka could not wantonly attack the Hengshan base area! I estimate that at this time, the 20,000 elite Japanese troops gathered at Pingxing Pass by Yoshio Shinozuka are likely to have set off to attack the north, preparing to attack our Hengshan base area. Li Yunlong said, this is the first response plan formulated.

It's just that Zhang Dabiao said worriedly: "Commander, although Huang Zeguan has been recovered by me. However, once the situation of Wu'an County being attacked by us was detected by the Japanese army, and Huang Zeguan was lost. However, the 2,000 Japanese troops dispatched by Yoshio Shinozuka from Hukou Pass and other places to the east and the Japanese troops who went north from Yucheng to reinforce Handan have not yet found our main force, and the Japanese army will inevitably think that we have withdrawn into Jin Province. And we attacked Liao County, and then attacked Yushe, Wuxiang, and Mixian all the way, and it was impossible for the Japanese army not to find out. And the road is a little too long, Captain! ”。

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhang Dabiao pointed to the map of Jin Province and said: "Regiment Commander, I think it is better to give up this route, after capturing Liao County, we take advantage of the current advantage that we are all cavalry, from Liao County along the Qingzhang West Source to the north, after crossing the branch mountains of Taihang Mountain, rush out directly, and attack Yuci, this distance is short, enough to take advantage of the Japanese army has not yet noticed the army to the south of Taiyuan, can receive miraculous results." Or go north from Liaoxian, attack Heshun, cross the Qingzhang Dongyuan and then approach the Great Silicon Valley, and after attacking Xiyang, the troops will go north to capture Pingding and Yangquan. And Yangquan, Pingding area, we have already attacked before, familiar with the terrain. In addition, we are already cavalry, and the advantage of maneuverability is enough to shake off the pursuing Japanese troops. ”。 Sissy

As soon as Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, the commander of the independent battalion on the side nodded in agreement with Zhang Dabiao's analysis, "Regiment commander, I think the two roads analyzed by Lao Zhang are the safest, and they can attack the nearby city garrisoned by the Japanese army at any time to obtain supplies, and the distance is short, which is conducive to our mobile combat and avoiding the main force of the Japanese army." ”。

Seeing this, everyone agreed with Zhang Dabiao's analysis, and Li Yunlong pondered for a while.

Zhang Dabiao's two attack routes are good, but the distance is indeed short, which is conducive to his own response in a short time. And from Liao County all the way to attack Yushe, Wuxiang, and Mixian in the north, the road is indeed a bit far. Once Yoshio Shinozuka comes to his senses, it is enough to make his side face the danger of Yoshio Shinozuka mobilizing heavy troops to reinforce and attack along the Tongpu Railway.

"Okay, Da Biao thought it right! In this way, immediately send a report to Zhao Gang and ask about the current situation in the base area! Let's see how it goes! Without making a decision immediately, Li Yunlong just summoned the signal soldiers of the army and ordered.

The signal corps took the order and left, and soon an urgent telegram was transmitted to the Hengshan base area.

At this time, in the Hengshan base area, Zhao Gang was arranging for the men and horses of various departments to strengthen the construction of fortifications in the temporary field headquarters behind the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge. After all, judging from the top-secret radio information secretly transmitted by the top-secret insider intelligence officers in Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka mobilized other Japanese troops to be extremely elite. Moreover, a large number of infantry guns were mobilized, as well as several large-caliber heavy artillery, and Yoshio Shinozuka built the airfield destroyed by his own side in the Yangmingbao airfield that was destroyed by Li Yunlong before, and once again stationed a formation of Japanese air force fighters, a full dozen bombers and fighters, which will soon fly to the airspace above the Hengshan base to bomb.

"Political commissar, the regiment commander called: Inquire about the movement of the 20,000 Japanese troops mobilized by Yoshio Shinozuka. In addition, the regiment commander informed that they had captured Huangze Pass and were preparing to attack Liao County in the north! Soon the communications soldiers in the base area reported to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang took the telegram handed over by the communication soldier and looked at it, and then said in a condensed voice: "Call back to the regiment commander, just say that Shinozuka Yoshio has personally stationed in Pingxingguan, and the 20,000 Japanese troops gathered in Pingxingguan have begun to move eastward, heading north along the Guanshui River, and there will be an hour before they will enter the mouth of the Jinlong Gorge Gorge, the first defensive position in our base area!" Please see the situation and return to the base area, let's go! ”。

"Yes, Commissar." The signal soldier stood up and saluted, then immediately turned and left to return to the radio station to deliver the message.

According to the cooperation of Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong, the two of them already had a plan, so Zhao Gang was just going step by step, at least there were three main battalions in the base area, even if the men and horses led by Li Yunlong did not return in time. In the base area, it is not a problem to hold on for at least ten days and a half months.

And Li Yunlong, who soon received a call back from Zhao Gang, commanded Zhang Dabiao and others to quickly withdraw from Huangzeguan Pass and rush to Liao County in the northwest direction.
