Chapter 182: Electric Order Pursuit

Yamato Taketaka's urgent telegram soon reached the hands of Matsui Shigen, who was in the midst of the rapid march to Weijiatun, and the old devil was helpless at first sight, and he didn't even feel angry.

"The 5th Brigade was completely annihilated, Riichiro Katayama, Kenjiro Saito and other officers at all levels of the brigade, all the Imperial soldiers of the brigade were killed! No life is still alive! All died for the Empire! ”

Matsui Ishine stood on the side of the road, handed the urgent telegram he had just received from Yamato Taketaka to the chief of staff of the army, Kagesa Zhenzhao, and said helplessly.

"Your Excellency, Taketaka Yamato requests tactical guidance! Your Excellency, did you order the 4th Cavalry Brigade to pursue Li Yunlong's headquarters? It is believed that Li Yunlong's troops at this time should have been evacuated from Weijiatun for a short time. As long as the 4th Cavalry Brigade picks up its speed, it should be able to catch up! ”

After reading the telegram, Kageza Zhenzhao said in a low voice.

Yamato Taketaka's mental shadow Sazhen Zhao, as a staff officer, can still see Yamato Taketaka's careful thinking clearly. Tactical guidance is generally mixed with emergency telegrams, which shows that Yamato Taketaka is also afraid that Li Yunlong's new regiment can completely annihilate the 5th Brigade.

The 4th Cavalry Brigade is the only cavalry unit belonging to the 3rd Division, and the more than 3,000 cavalry is the most mobile unit. If Li Yunlong had been ambushed in the forest during the pursuit, the cavalry's mobility in the dense forest would probably be inferior to that of the infantry.

It is estimated that Taketaka Yamato also has scruples in this regard!

It depends on what Matsui Ishine thinks, if he orders the 4th Cavalry Brigade to continue the pursuit, if he encounters an ambush, Matsui Ishine will not have any extra cavalry in his hands to use.

Matsui Shigen was also very entangled in his heart at this time, and the 5th Brigade was completely annihilated, which made it a huge pressure for the old devil at present.

One of the infantry brigades to which a division belonged was completely annihilated by Li Yunlong, which was already an extremely humiliating thing to say.

But now, Matsui Shigen has no way to retreat, and he can't watch Li Yunlong's troops disappear into the vast Xing'anling Mountains!

Just as Matsui Ishone was silently thinking, a hurried footstep came.

The two old devils were interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps, and they saw the devil communication soldiers who were acting with the command headquarters hurrying over, "Report to Your Excellency the General, Chief of Staff, Li Yunlong of the new regiment sent a clear telegram, trumpeting that the main force of the new regiment of his command post headquarters is three miles wide between the north of the main peak of Baicha Mountain and Weijiatun to completely annihilate the headquarters of the 5th Brigade of our 3rd Division!" ”

Before Matsui Shigen and Kage Sazhen came back to their senses, another devil communication soldier also arrived in a hurry, and said with a heavy pause: "Report to Your Excellency the General, Chief of Staff, the Beiping Front Army Headquarters sent a telegram, and Your Majesty also learned that the 5th Brigade of the 3rd Division was completely annihilated by Li Yunlong's troops on the mainland, and also sent a telegram!" ”

Hurriedly took the three telegrams and hurriedly read them, and handed them to Kagezo Zhenzhao.

After reading it, the two old devils looked at each other, and then the anger in their hearts intensified.

Especially Matsui Shigen, Tada Jun and Emperor Wa all coincidentally learned of Li Yunlong's clear code of electricity, and sent a reprimand, indicating that Li Yunlong's trick of clearly powering up also slapped Matsui Shigen in the mouth, which was very painful!

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, Li Yunlong is really cunning and cunning! Bage Yalu, this is a complete declaration of war against me! Never die! ”

Matsui Shigen gritted his teeth, Li Yunlong's hand forced Matsui Shigen to have no way out.

If the Emperor knew that Matsui Shigen did not dare to send troops to continue to pursue Li Yunlong's main force because the 5th Brigade was completely annihilated in Weijiatun, then once the pursuit of Li Yunlong's troops was unfavorable, he Matsui Shigen should have been completely hidden in the Japanese State as a reserve after the war!

This is definitely an unacceptable consequence for Matsui Ishine!

"Your Excellency, what should I do? At present, the 4th Cavalry Brigade is still cleaning up the imperial soldiers of the 5th Brigade who died in the battle in the Weijiatun area, and the 5th Brigade has suffered more than 10,000 casualties. At this time, Li Yunlong's troops were probably already disappearing into the vast forests of the Xing'anling Mountains. When the time comes, I am afraid it will not be easy to catch up. ”

At this time, Kagesa Zhenzhao reminded not to hesitate and make a decision on whether to send troops to continue the pursuit.

Matsui Shigen did not make a decision immediately, at this time, if he wanted to continue to pursue Li Yunlong's department, he could only order Yamato Taketaka's 4th Cavalry Brigade not to pick up the corpses of the ghost soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Japanese Army that were killed, but to concentrate the 4th Cavalry Brigade to divide the horsepower to pursue Li Yunlong's department.

The cavalry still had the advantage of foot range, and although the dense forest and trees limited the horseman's mobility, it was at least much faster than the new regiment marching on two legs.

The 4th Cavalry Brigade should not have a problem chasing the main force of Li Yunlong's troops.

As long as you are careful, send some small cavalry to reconnoiter first during the pursuit, and you can avoid the ambush of Li Yunlong's subordinates.

What's more, Li Yunlong's troops continued to march and fight, and there was another big battle with the 5th Brigade, and the physical exertion must have been very great.

At this time, Matsui Shigen was sure that Li Yunlong's troops would not ambush again, after all, the 4th Cavalry Brigade had more than 3,000 cavalry, and even if it was ambushed, it was still possible to concentrate all the cavalry forces to kill the ambush circle.

You must know that the 4th Cavalry Brigade is an elite cavalry unit under the 3rd Division, and the combat effectiveness of Lilai is still okay. It is impossible that even the ambush of the infantry cannot be broken, let alone a Li Yunlong division that has fought many large battles?

As soon as he thought of this, Matsui Ishine condensed his voice and said to Kage Zuozhen: "Kage Sa-kun, immediately order Yamato Taketaka to command the 4th Cavalry Brigade to pursue Li Yunlong's main force. Let Taketaka Yamato pay attention and be careful of Li Yunlong's ambush! As long as you catch up with Li Yunlong's main force, you can pull away a distance that is not far or close! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency General, your Excellency understands your position!"

Seeing this, Kagesazhen knew that Tada Jun and the Emperor had put a lot of pressure on Matsui Ishone.

The decision to let the 4th Cavalry Brigade continue to pursue Li Yunlong's main force was also helpless.

Otherwise, once in the vast forests of the Xing'an Mountains in this mountain range, if time is delayed, the 4th Cavalry Brigade may really not be able to catch up with the main force of Li Yunlong's troops.

And when the time comes, if you want to rely on the remaining infantry of the 3rd Division to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the new regiment, it will be even more troublesome if you have no chance.

In this regard, Kagesa Zhenzhao thought about it in his heart and nodded in agreement with Matsui Ishone's reluctant decision.

As Matsui Shigen called back to Yamato Taketaka, Yamato Taketaka, who was commanding the 4th Cavalry Brigade in the Weijiatun area to clean up the corpses of the devil soldiers of the 5th Devil Brigade, saw the communication soldiers hurrying to the front and handed over the telegram, and frowned and was speechless!

At this time, the chief of staff of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, Captain Ichisataro, stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what's wrong?" ”!
