Chapter 37: Rushing to Lingqiu
Li Yunlong suddenly felt that the decision he made to break through in the front of Cangyunling was actually quite good.
Hengshan is located in the northeast of Jin Province, to the south can attack Pingxingguan, to the north can attack Laiyuan and Guangling, to the east can attack Lingqiu, Sanshan Town and other places, and these places, not far from Hengshan, the most important thing is that Hengshan is the northern barrier that hinders the Japanese army from attacking the supply line of the Jin Sui army to the south to attack Yan Laoxi, and the strategic location is very important.
Therefore, when Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately said: "Damn, although we killed thousands of devils in Pingxingguan before, but now the devils have also strengthened the defense of Pingxingguan. The Pingxing Pass is a pass on an important communication line for the Japanese army to transport grain, grass and ammunition to Taiyuan, and its strategic location is very important. And the Lingqiu behind it is extremely important! Duan Peng, did you find out before that kid, how many Japanese troops are stationed here? Lao Tzu estimates that there should be a lot! ’。
Li Yunlong is still a little dignified, after all, Lingqiu is also one of the important places for the Japanese army to transport grain, grass and ammunition, and the devils who stay in the county seat will at least not be few.
I saw that Duan Peng also immediately said solemnly: "Commander, according to the results of our reconnaissance team's previous investigation, the devils have at least one squadron of troops stationed in Lingqiu, and there are five artillery pieces alone, twenty mortars, more than 30 grenadiers, and ten light and heavy machine guns, and the devil's defense in Lingqiu is very strong, basically at night, the whole city will enter a curfew state, and the people who dare to wander around at night will all be shot on the spot!" ’。
Zhang Dabiao on the side said loudly at this time: "Regiment leader, it seems that if we want to take Lingqiu and seize food, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" ”。
"Even if it's difficult, they have to do it. Otherwise, after three days, after many of us have consumed food on this Hutou Mountain, and without food, our brothers will starve to death! Now although we have been in contact with the brigade headquarters, but with the support of the brigade headquarters, we will not be able to come to Hengshan through the blockade of the devils in a short time. Now we can only rely on ourselves! Li Yunlong waved his hand and said in a condensed voice, anyway, the new group relies on himself a lot of times.
After thinking about it, Li Yunlong still clenched his fists and said, "Damn, although the brothers have safely evacuated to Hutou Mountain now, the crisis of supply is with us. Therefore, it is imperative to take the Japanese army's grain in Lingqiu! Let's discuss! ’。
Zhang Dabiao immediately answered: "Commander, if we attack Lingqiu, we basically have no way to run during the day, you see, after Hengshan comes out, there is only one waterway leading to Lingqiu, Guanshui River, and this river leads directly to the south of Lingqiu. When the time comes, it should be appropriate to go north here to attack Lingqiu! It's just that it won't work during the day, and now that the devil's plane is flying around, it's basically impossible for us to rush to Lingqiu during the day. I can only be the head of the regiment at night! ’。
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "What you kid said is good. However, according to the intelligence of the Japanese defenders in Lingqiu detected by Duan Peng, it is still very difficult for us to take Lingqiu! Now the brothers are exhausted, and this is not the time to run! Take a day off. Wait until the next night I'm running to Lingqiu! What do you two think? ”。
Duan Peng and Zhang Dabiao nodded immediately when they heard this, but Zhang Dabiao immediately raised and said, "Commander, how many brothers will we take to attack Lingqiu?" ’。
"Hutou Mountain needs to leave some brothers to hold on to deal with unexpected situations! After all, around Heng Mountain, there are still a lot of troops encircled and suppressed by devils! In this way, Hutou Mountain has no way to dispatch except for more than 300 lightly and seriously wounded. There are still more than 1,100 brothers who can still move and fight, well, in the current situation, we can send out 500 brothers to attack Lingqiu at night, it's still possible! After we take Lingqiu, we only need to carry the devil's food and grass, and as for the devil's weapons and equipment, we can take it away if we have time, and blow it up if we don't have time! Li Yunlong thought for a minute or two before saying to Zhang Dabiao.
Zhang Dabiao suddenly said: "Regiment commander, then send five hundred brothers?" ”。
"Yes, you kid will hurry up and choose a brother who has good shooting skills and good hand-to-hand combat, and form a rushing force! Lao Tzu personally led the attack on Lingqiu, Da Biao, you won't go, stay at Hutou Mountain, Duan Peng will follow me, this matter is the most important thing for us at present. But the safety of Hutou Mountain also needs Da Biao you to command and defend! ”
Zhang Dabiao stood up and saluted and said: "Yes, head of the regiment, you can rest assured, with me Zhang Dabiao here, Hutou Mountain guarantees that it is in our hands!" Hey, hey!".
"Okay, then rest for the day! Attack Lingqiu the next night, Duan Peng, you kid work hard, first set off with the reconnaissance team, take a boat to the outside of Lingqiu City, find a way to sneak into the city, and scout the little devil's current defenders in Lingqiu County! Your reconnaissance intelligence has been a few days away from now, maybe the current devil defenders in Lingqiu are likely to have more than one squadron! Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng separately.
"Yes, Captain!" Zhang Dabiao and Duan Ou said in unison, and immediately turned around and left.
At this time, just when Li Yunlong knew that the new regiment had a supply crisis and was preparing to attack Lingqiu to get food, the battle between Xiao Lizhuang and Cangyunling had already been known to the troops encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army in his vicinity.
In Taiyuan City, Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese North China Dispatch Army, looked at the telegram in his hand at this time, and his eyes were wide open.
"What the hell is going on? The elite soldiers of the two wings of the empire were all wiped out and annihilated by a new regiment of less than one regiment led by the same branch? Chief of Staff Miyano, you can't have received a wrong telegram, have you? How could there be such a thing! Yoshio Shinozuka trembled and held the telegram in front of him, he couldn't believe that the two Japanese troops who came to the wing were all wiped out, and they were eaten by the troops of the same branch army, which was simply incredible.
Yoshio Shinozuka's chief of staff, Miyano, said with a wry smile helplessly, "Your Excellency, the Commander, my humble position has been confirmed several times. The Japanese troops of the two wings, including the imperial officers of the two wings below the brigade commander Jiro Abe, were all killed! Now, the bodies of the Imperial soldiers of a wing commanded by Abe Jiro are still lying in Xiao Li Zhuang! Our people have already arrived there, confirmed, there are no survivors! Your Excellency, Commander! ’。
