"Kagesa-kun, Fujita-kun, which attack route do you think Li Yunlong will choose?" Matsui Shigen said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, very depressed in his heart.

The annihilation of the 4th Cavalry Brigade has greatly reduced the prestige of Matsui Ishine.

Although Fujita Shin's dissatisfaction was not expressed on the surface, Matsui Ishine was also an old oilman, and he keenly felt that the remaining Japanese officers of the 3rd Division were a little dissatisfied.

Depressed, still very depressed.

The commander of the 3rd Division, Fujita Susumu, was silent for a few seconds before he said: "Your Excellency, judging from the map, there are not only four attack routes, but also others. Either of these is possible, and he suggested that the pursuit should be stopped for the time being, and the army should rest and recuperate in the county town of Weichang, and wait for the air force's reconnaissance planes to be dispatched to conduct aerial reconnaissance, and at least first roughly determine the attack route of Li Yunlong's main force before taking action. In this way, the effect will be good. ”。

"Kagesa-kun, what about your suggestion?" Matsui Ishine didn't agree immediately, but just asked the chief of staff Kagesa Zhenaki on the side.

Kagesa Zhenzhao was quite distressed, there were actually many places where Rehe could hide his attacks.

According to the analysis of several attack routes of Li Yunlong's main forces, any one of them is possible.

If you can't catch Li Yunlong's attack route and blindly pursue, you can only be led by Li Yunlong like a cow all the time.

Although there were still more than 14,000 devils left in the 3rd Division, the strength was still more than twice that of Li Yunlong's troops.

However, Li Yunlong used a series of ambushes to encircle and annihilate and eat more than 10,000 troops of an infantry brigade and a cavalry brigade of the 3rd Division.

It is conceivable that the combat effectiveness of Li Yunlong's department is still very strong.

Blindly pursuing behind the other party, there is no time to entangle, it is better to rest in the paddock county first, and replenish food, grass and ammunition.

Once the reconnaissance planes of the air force can determine the route and location of Li Yunlong's main attack, at least then the army will have a specific direction to pursue and suppress.

Thinking of this, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao still said: "Your Excellency, General, since Laiyuan went north all the way north and fought with the new regiment one after another, our imperial army has been chasing for several days and fighting for thousands of miles. The soldiers of the imperial army of all departments have been exhausted from chasing, although they have a short rest in Weijiatun, but the soldiers of the imperial army of all departments are very tired, and it is time to rest. What's more, we only have more than 14,000 troops left, which seems to be more than the troops commanded by Li Yunlong. But in the face of an uncertain enemy attack route, we may still divide our forces! ”。

"Then Kagesa-kun agreed to Fujita-kun's suggestion?" Matsui Ishine was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he still said seriously.

Shadow Zuo Zhenzhao nodded, the meaning was already very obvious.

Seeing this, Matsui Shigen looked at the military map that was laid out, and the depression in his heart can be imagined. chased and vomited blood, and was stunned that he hadn't even seen Li Yunlong's face, which was a shame.

It's just that Matsui Shigen suddenly turned his head and looked around at the rest of the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, all of them showed a sense of exhaustion, and they also knew that on the way south to Awl Mountain, the little devil soldiers who were marching in a hurry also ran and vomited blood.

At this time, Li Yunlong's department had already run away, although it was impossible to attack Loess Liang in the south, and took the mountain road to approach the area of Pingquan and Kuancheng, and then entered the area of Beiping in Guannei.

However, the rest of the attack routes were still conducive to the maneuvering of Li Yunlong's troops.

At this time, if the troops were divided, Li Yunlong could only seize the opportunity to eat one of the Japanese troops who were divided along the way.

Considering all kinds of considerations, Matsui Shigen suddenly felt helpless, "Yaga! All right! Ordered the captain of the Longhua garrison, Kahetaro, to lead his troops to clean up the imperial soldiers of the 4th Cavalry Brigade who died in battle, and the rest of the 3rd Division to be stationed in the county town of Weichang for rest. Contact the aviation troops, let them divide their forces into several routes, and according to our analysis, conduct air reconnaissance separately. Once you find out the main movement of Li Yunlong's army, immediately send a report to contact us. ”

"Hay, Your Excellency." The devil's confidential staff officer, who was waiting for Matsui Ishone's order, paused his head and then left to deliver the report.

Matsui Ishine then had a gloomy face, and entered the county seat of Weichang from the east of the awl mountain, and led his troops to rest in the county seat.

The county seat of the paddock is not big, but it is not small, and the devil soldiers of the 3rd Division of the Japanese army of more than 14,000 people still crowded the county seat.

And Matsui Ishine lost his troops, especially the loss of another cavalry brigade in Awl Mountain, and Tada Jun, the devil commander of the North China Front Command in Beiping City, who learned the news, was already furious.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, Matsui's waste, waste, he is still the general of the empire! Is this the ability of the general? The 3rd Division is the first division of the empire, which has been established for more than 50 years, and now it has lost more than half of it. Hmph, and also asked the front army to send aviation to continue to support. Isn't Matsui Ishine shameless? Eight grid tooth road! ”

In the command room of the Beipei Shogun Front, Tada Jun pinched the urgent telegram sent by Matsui Ishine in his hand, and shouted angrily at the group of devil staff officers in the command room, and unabashedly scolded Matsui Ishine!

Fujimoto Haruki, chief of staff of the Front Army Headquarters on the side, stood quietly beside Tada Jun less than two meters away and listened quietly, and waited until he saw Tada Jun getting tired of scolding before he stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Excellency Commander, stop your anger!" Now let's talk about how to deal with Li Yunlong's troops first! Li Yunlong's command post headquarters and the 3rd Division launched a firefight in Laiyuan all the way and went north, eating countless elite troops of the empire. But the casualties inflicted on them by the 3rd Division were very small. He thought that Li Yunlong and his subordinates must be eradicated as soon as possible. Otherwise, there are endless consequences. ”。

Haruki Fujimoto's persuasion calmed down the furious Tada Jun, and when he thought of the strong combat power of Li Yunlong's troops, especially after Li Yunlong led his troops from Huaiyuan to attack Juyong Pass, he almost went all the way to Beiping City, causing Beiping to shake.

It is enough to show that the harm of Li Yunlong and his subordinates is far higher than that of the main force of the Nationalist Army.

"Then Fujimoto-kun, do you mean to agree to Matsui Ishone's request?" Picking up the telegram that was slapped on the table in the command room by Tada Jun, Tada Jun said with a frown.

"Hay!"

Haruki Fujimoto pointed to the map of Rehe, Chahar and other provinces that people spread out, pointed and said, "Judging from the map, Admiral Matsui's telegram is very clear. After the 3rd Cavalry Brigade of the 4th Division was ambushed and eaten at Awl Mountain, Li Yunlong had disappeared from Weichang County, and the main cavalry force was missing. There are at least four attack routes, and all of them are of great target value. If the Imperial Army under the command of Admiral Matsui pursued blindly, it would be meaningless, and it would not be realistic at all at this time. ”。

"Yes! Half of their strength has been eaten by Li Yunlong! ”

Haruki Fujimoto nodded and said, "So, we might as well agree with General Matsui's plan and rest in the paddock county first." In addition, in view of the fact that the 3rd Division had already lost more than half, he suggested that the front army should increase its troops by 10,000 to General Matsui! Otherwise, if General Matsui divides his troops next, I'm afraid that the troops will not be enough. ”。
