On the way to the assault on Tengcheng Town, Li Yunlong and others immediately convened an operational meeting to order the troops to turn northward, stop attacking Tengcheng and then attack Shigu Mountain and Fukou Mountain.

Since the troops had soldiers who were familiar with the terrain around Wu'an and Handan, the speed at which everyone turned the direction of the team was very fast, and they hurried back to the north to return to the division.

There are some mountain ranges blocking from Tengcheng to Wu'an, but fortunately, the terrain is not high, and there are mountain roads to pass.

The crowd rushed to the foot of Wu'an Castle before Yoshio Shinozuka mobilized the Japanese troops near Hukou Pass and other Japanese troops near Shigu Mountain and the Japanese troops who had gone north from the city to Matou Town and then pursued them westward.

Wu'an is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, at the junction of Shanxi and Hebei provinces, and is also a relatively important city.

When Li Yunlong and others led the army to attack the city of Wu'an, the enemy army in the city had not yet noticed it, which was simply a godsend.

"The regiment commander, the regiment commander, have found out clearly. There was only one squadron of Japanese troops and one battalion of the Imperial Cooperative Army in Wu'an County, with a total strength of more than 500 people. Among them, the Japanese army had only more than 150 people, all of which were less than the strength of a squadron. It's just that Wu'an City has closed the city gates, and it is estimated that it was because of Tada Jun's previous orders, and the Japanese troops in all parts of Ji Province have strengthened their vigilance. If we attack the city on horseback, I am afraid we will not be able to break the city. A few minutes later, Duan Peng and several other members of the special combat team, who had gone out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, wore a white cloak and cautiously retreated.

Li Yunlong's eyes were solemn when he heard this, the troops had been under the city of Wu'an County for seven or eight minutes, but he didn't expect that the other party would have so many people. At least the city gate was closed, and Li Yunlong could only decide to storm the county seat of Wu'an.

"By the way, why do little devils have so few people in Wu'an County? In this way, there are only about 350 people in the puppet army? ”

Duan Peng continued to report: "Regiment commander, according to the confessions of the two soldiers patrolling outside the puppet army we caught, Wu'an County is only a small county town, although the city is also relatively important. However, there are many cities in Hebei Province, and if every place that wants to Wu'an County is garrisoned by Japanese soldiers, at least even if it is a small team and a squadron like this, even if Tada Jun has more than 100,000 Japanese troops, it is enough to choke, and it is basically impossible to send troops to garrison every county. And Wu'an County is close to Handan, and the distance to get reinforcements is not very far, so the little devil also thinks that Wu'an County is more important. However, the strength of the Japanese troops stationed here was only more than 150 people, and the Imperial Allied Army had nearly a battalion or so, more than 350 to about 400 people. ”。

"Commander, this bit of men and horses is not enough for us to eat, let's fight! I estimate that if the two Japanese troops who met at Shigu Mountain did not find out about our movements for a long time, I am afraid that they would have analyzed that we were not in Shigu Mountain, Fukou Mountain! Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, also heard Duan Peng's report on the side, and immediately made a suggestion.

In Zhang Dabiao's view, the strength of the Japanese puppet army in Wu'an is actually not strong, although the city gate has been closed, if it is attacked by a sneak attack, it can be done by asking for reinforcements from the Japanese army near Handan. But for their own side, as long as Duan Peng's special combat team was sent to cut off the Japanese telephone lines to Handan City and other cities, the Battle of Wu'an would not be discovered by the Japanese troops in nearby cities for at least a short time. 53 Chinese Net

Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion who was squatting next to Zhang Dabiao, also agreed with Zhang Dabiao's words and said: "Regiment commander, let's fight!" After defeating the county seat of Wu'an, we can continue to go north, or go west to Jin Province, and return to the north from Jin Province! Wu'an County is a city that has to be beaten. ”。

And the rest of the people also agreed, Wu An was already an obstacle to his own side, and he had to be killed. What's more, the number of enemy troops in the county town is not large, and there are only more than 150 Japanese troops, and the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army can be ignored by their own side.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong waved his hand to suppress everyone's voices, and then said in a condensed voice: "Okay, the big guys have agreed to attack Wu'an County, then fight!" I ordered the 1st Battalion and the Independent Battalion to cooperate and storm the north, south, west and east gates respectively, and comprehensively attack the city. Sun Desheng commanded part of the cavalry to go around the city, stopping and killing the Japanese puppet soldiers who broke through at any time. Wang Chengzhu, your artillery team is divided into two parts, and the first battalion and the independent battalion are attacking the city! Duan Peng, you take the special combat team to cut off all the telephone lines from Wu'an County to the outside world before the troops storm the county seat. Wu'an County is close to Handan, and there must be a telephone line connecting Handan City. In the county, there should be no radio station. This squadron-level Japanese army will not be equipped with the establishment of a radio station! Two minutes later, the general attack on Wu'an County began! ”。

"Yes, Captain."

The crowd responded with a bang, and each one was eager to try and prepare to attack the city.

At this time, in the city of Wu'an, the commander of the Japanese squadron stationed here, Captain Yuya Kasai, was wandering around the squadron headquarters in the county. Although Li Yunlong and others had broken through Handan before, they thought that Li Yunlong's troops would kill Wu'an County, which is located in the northeast of Handan. Fortunately, Li Yunlong's troops went south, and at this time, Captain Yuya Kasai of Wu'an County felt a little more relaxed.

"Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, our phone suddenly can't contact the imperial troops in the direction of Huang Zeguan and Handan. Moreover, all the calls have been out of reach, and something is wrong. Just when Kasai Yuya felt that Wu'an County was not Li Yunlong's goal and was a little lax, Air Captain Ohara Li, the lieutenant of the squadron, walked over quickly and reported in a low voice with a frown.

At this time, Kasai Yuya had already heard the news of the battle, and Li Yunlong's troops had already attacked and advanced in the direction of Fujicheng Town at the foot of the eastern foot of Shigu Mountain. At this time, it should be impossible to appear in Wu'an County, so Kasai waved his hand leisurely, "Maybe the telephone line was crushed by the snow, this is a regular thing recently, immediately send a communication soldier out to overhaul it, and immediately reply to the communication contact." ”

It's just that Captain Ohara continued in a low voice: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, the situation is indeed a little wrong, several telephones from the squadron headquarters could not be connected at the first time, and the humble post was the same as His Excellency the Squadron Leader thought, and soon sent a communication corps out of the city for maintenance. Only five minutes later, the soldiers who had gone out of the city for maintenance did not return. Moreover, the lowly job always feels a little wrong. Can't all the phone lines be crushed by the snow, right? Your Excellency Squadron Leader! ”。

At this time, Yuya Kasai finally trembled in his heart and realized something, "It's not good, there are enemy troops!" Hurry up, and order the imperial army and the imperial alliance army at the city gates and city heads to strengthen their vigilance and prepare for a counterattack. ”

It's just that without waiting for Xiaoyuan Likong to answer, suddenly the guns and cannons exploded violently in the direction of the four gates of Wu'an County, and the thunderbolt exploded, and Li Yunlong and others led their troops to attack Wu'an County.
