Chapter 225: More than two thousand rides
"Commander, this is Hattori Musashi! Well, this is its chief of staff, Di Yezhen! ”
Soon after the battle, Li Yunlong walked up, and under the guidance of a staff officer who was responsible for counting the results of the battlefield, he pointed to the two devils who were killed in the ruins and said with a smile.
Li Yunlong took a look, Hattori Musashi and Di Ye Zhen, the two old devils, were indeed straight in military uniforms, and the rank mark on the collar clearly showed that this was a devil captain and a chief of staff of the brigade.
"Hmmm! By the way, what about the results? ”
Li Yunlong asked lightly, Lin Xi fought a battle, completely annihilated the enemy, and it is estimated that the results should be very fruitful.
Sure enough, as Li Yunlong expected, he saw the staff officer of the army who was in charge of counting the results of the battle and said with a smile: "Report to the regiment commander, according to our preliminary statistics." In this battle of Linxi, a Japanese infantry brigade of the enemy army in Linxi was completely annihilated, plus some Japanese troops who fled north from Wudan Town, a total of 2,109 Japanese troops were annihilated. In addition, 321 people were killed and 154 prisoners were captured! ”。
After a pause to breathe a sigh of relief, the statistical staff officer continued to report: "More than 1,500 intact Type 38 rifles, 13 light and heavy machine guns, and 300,000 rounds of ammunition have been captured!" Three mortars and seventeen grenadiers! The rest of the grain and grass can be used to supplement the troops' needs for half-month mobile operations. ”。
After listening to the report on the results of the statistical staff officer, Li Yunlong squinted and smiled.
The results of this battle have been very fruitful, especially the amount of grain and grass captured, which is more than enough for Li Yunlong to continue to fight with Matsui Shigen's troops for half a month.
"Good !!"
Li Yunlong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Order all troops to take away all the captured weapons and equipment, and destroy those that cannot be taken away." In addition, the various departments replenish the food and grass consumed, and we may have to rest in the Sukexilu Mountains for a few days. Grain and grass are the most important. ”。
"Understood, Captain." The statistical staff officer stood up and saluted, and then walked away for deployment.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, and others also rushed to Li Yunlong's place.
"Commander, we have seized a lot this time! I guess I can't take some weapons and equipment and food and grass with me! Zhang Dabiao said with a little pity that the Japanese army had air raids by air fighters during the battle.
Therefore, Zhang Dabiao knew that after the troops completely annihilated the Japanese puppet army defenders in Linxi, it was impossible to station in Linxi County. Although it will take time for the remaining main force of the 3rd Division commanded by Matsui Ishine in the Chifeng area to move north, it is still possible that the devil's fighters will come back and continue the bombing.
Therefore, the army should soon withdraw from the county seat of Linxi.
And the captured devils' food, grass and ammunition, weapons and equipment are a lot, and the various departments can be regarded as supplementing the needs of combat consumption. But it will not be able to take away the remaining materials, and it must be destroyed, Zhang Dabiao feels a pity.
It's just that Li Yunlong pointed to the sun under the clouds, and smiled: "Look at it!" ”。
"Oops!"
Zhang Dabiao patted his head and said, "Commander, I've lost track of time when I hit it." In less than half an hour, it was dark. ”。
"So, we can take a break in Linxi County!"
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "But it is impossible to rest for too long, after all, in Chifeng City, Matsui Shigen's troops have begun to move north and chase after us." If Matsui Ishine comes to make a forced march and maybe catches us off guard, it will be a joke. ”。
But at this time, a communication soldier hurried to the front of everyone.
"Report to the head of the group, urgent call!"
Li Yunlong took the urgent telegram handed over by the communications soldier, and after reading it for less than half a minute, he handed the telegram in his hand to Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, and others to circulate it.
After everyone finished reading, Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "Made, this old devil Matsui Shigen actually has cavalry to use!" ”。
"Captain!"
Sun Desheng, commander of the cavalry battalion, took the lead and said: "According to the telegram, our men observed outside the north gate of Chifeng that at least 2,000 Japanese cavalry had rapidly moved north. According to the speed of the cavalry, if they did not stop, they might be able to kill under the city of Linxi in two hours. What are we going to do? What if you don't eat this Japanese cavalry? ”。
"What do you think?" Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao and the others.
Everyone looked at each other, but the 2,000 Japanese cavalry should not be underestimated. Fortunately, the Japanese puppet army in Linxi has been completely annihilated, and the county seat has now fallen into its own hands. In less than half an hour or so, it will be evening.
It was also difficult for the cavalry to run at night. However, judging from the contents of the urgent telegram sent back by the reconnaissance detachment that remained outside Chifeng City, most of the Japanese cavalry was drawn from the area occupied by the Japanese army around Chifeng.
This made it so that the two thousand mixed Japanese cavalry should have been guided by the Japanese cavalry who were familiar with the terrain and went north at night.
If you despise it, you will still rest in Linxi County. Once the little devil cavalry suddenly kills, it will be a light enemy.
"Commander, there are only two thousand devil cavalry in this force, but even if it is a rapid march to the north, it will take at least more than two hours. I think it's better to eat them! "The devil's 2,000 cavalry went north, and Matsui Shigen, who commanded the main force of the infantry behind, could not kill the county seat of Linxi within four hours.
Therefore, it is still possible to meet the 2,000 Japanese cavalry here in Linxi County, and eat them.
Night battles are all the specialties of the new group. It's not difficult!
Li Yunlong thought about it, paced around, thinking about the gains and losses.
"Good! If you eat this cavalry that Matsui Ishine has gathered with great difficulty, it will be no less than a heavy blow to Matsui Ishine. Li Yunlong clapped his hands and decided, "However, the terrain platform here in Linxi County, and there is no city wall in the county seat. The terrain outside the city was also not conducive to our ambush. ”
This was difficult for everyone, only to see the first battalion commander Zhang Dabiao said: "Regiment commander, you can carry out an ambush on the north bank of the West Lamulun River south of the county seat!" ”。
"Monk, map!" When Li Yunlong heard this, he waved his hand and asked Wei Dayong, who was beside him, to take out the map from his briefcase and unfold it in front of everyone.
Zhang Dabiao then pointed to the map and said, "Here, there is a small valley about eighteen miles north on the north bank of the Xilamulun River. It's less than a kilometer long from north to south, but it's perfect for an ambush! ”。
Li Yunlong suddenly realized that after going north from Wudan Town, everyone crossed the river and passed through here, approaching Linxi County. At that time, if Hattori Musashi sent a force to block it here, Li Yunlong would really be able to lead his troops to the north in a roundabout way, and he would definitely consume a lot of time to prepare for the devil defenders in the county to strengthen the fortifications.
It's just that Hattori Musashi learned in a hurry that Li Yunlong led his troops north, and at that time, there was no time to send troops south to occupy this section of the valley to block it, and it was too late.
"It's nice here! In this way, according to the content of the emergency telegram, more than 2,000 devil cavalry will be killed here about two hours after entering the night. We had time to rest, but in order to prevent the Japanese air force from attacking at night, after the troops had cleaned up the battlefield and evacuated the people of the county town, they withdrew from the county town and rested in the nearby mountains and forests. The cavalry battalion and the first battalion, the third battalion went south and entered here to prepare for an ambush! Li Yunlong pointed to the map and ordered.
