Chapter 340: Devil Cavalry
"Not bad! The Japanese troops in Fuping, Lingshou, and Quyang have been ordered to march west immediately after assembling separately, and prepare to intercept us on the main mountain roads in the Great Wall Ridge and Damao Mountain! According to the urgent telegram sent by Zhao Gang, according to the intelligence officers of our army lurking in the three places, the Japanese troops in these three places were dispatched, plus some puppet troops, there were already more than 1,000 people, including about two squadrons of Japanese troops. Li Yunlong asked Monk Wei to spread out the map on the ground, and then pointed to several towns and towns on the map, and said solemnly.
Duan Peng's expression also became serious at this time, according to the current place where he was, once he continued to retreat north, he was likely to be intercepted by the Japanese army. The Japanese troops under Shotaro Takakura, who were pursuing in the rear, would also be crushed from behind, and the situation was not optimistic for their own side.
"Commander, what are we going to do? There are chasing soldiers in front and behind! Although we are riding war horses, we are galloping. But the devils have already sent reconnaissance planes in the sky, and we can't hide all the time. Once you ride a war horse and attack, it is very likely to be discovered by the devil's aerial reconnaissance plane! When the time comes, once the devil knows where we are, it will be a big trouble to chase us and entangle us. Duan Peng analyzed solemnly.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he carefully looked at the map, and the current situation was not optimistic. If it crosses the Dabie Mountain in the west, retreats north from the direction of Wutai, and retreats to the Heng Mountain, the possibility is not very large.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and said, "Made, since the devil looks up to labor and management so much, then play hide and seek with the little devil!" We are now on the east side of Woshikou, and now that there are Japanese troops stationed in Woshikou, it is impossible to sneak through it. It is only possible to withdraw to Hengshan from other routes! ”。
"Regiment commander, we don't take the line of Woshikou, there are Japanese troops chasing and blocking to the north and south, it's too far to the east, right?" Duan Peng smiled and said.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is impossible for us to escape from the devil's interception in other directions. It is better to go the other way, the troops turned to the northeast of Damao Mountain, crossed the Tang River, crossed from Laiyuan, and after attacking the Flying Fox Pass by surprise, they continued to go north to capture Wei County, and then telegraphed Zhao Gang that they sent troops to attack from behind Heng Mountain, and together with us, captured Guangling! ”。
"Commander, this is a lot of travel! Isn't it a bit reluctant? Duan Peng and several grassroots commanders and fighters around him all smiled and said.
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Right now, our general range is bound to be known by the devils, but once we are surrounded by the devils' heavy troops, it is certain that the casualties will be too large!" You have to think differently, so as not to be entangled by the devil's troops and get into trouble! Tell the brothers that the troops are advancing in concealment, slowly crossing the Shahe River between Fuping and Quyang, and then crossing the southeast mountain range of Heng Mountain, the troops continue to rush forward, cross the Tang River and go north, bypassing Laiyuan and attacking Feihukou! ”。
"Yes, Captain!" Duan Peng and the others got up one after another and stood on the right path, and immediately went back to gather their troops and began to move on.
On the other hand, Takakura Shotaro, the captain of the Japanese Niangzi Pass garrison, was leading a total of more than 2,000 Japanese puppet troops in Niangzi Pass and Jingcheng to follow some traces left by Li Yunlong and others when they went north, and pursued north without stopping.
On the mountain road leading to Fuping, a Japanese puppet army unit galloping forward attacked northward with great momentum.
On the mountain road, the Japanese puppet troops who were rushing forward were running out of breath one by one, and they were all tired and about to fall.
Takakura Shotaro Shaoza, who led this Japanese puppet army, frowned, seeing that the team was about to run away. As a last resort, the old devil Takakura Shotaro could only order the adjutant Soichiro Ita to command the Japanese puppet army troops to rest on the spot for five minutes.
As soon as Shotaro Takakura's rest order was given, the Japanese puppet soldiers sat on the ground one by one like fallen puppets, lying on the ground motionless.
Takakura Shotaro called the adjutant to discuss the next pursuit with the seven or eight Japanese staff officers who accompanied the army, otherwise, if they pursued like this, most of the Japanese puppet soldiers who were infantry would definitely not be able to catch up with Li Yunlong and them, who were supported by war horses.
"The cavalry reconnaissance detachment that returned from the front reported that the troops of the Shina Army who had ambushed His Royal Highness the Prince had now been at least eight minutes away from us. And judging from the fact that the pursuit has been conducted, the number of troops of the Chinese army in this ambush will not exceed one hundred and eighty at most, judging from the traces of horseshoe prints. But they all have war horses to retreat, and most of us are infantry, so I'm afraid we will continue to distance ourselves from each other! All the kings say let's see, what should I do? Takakura Shotaro frowned and pointed to the map that a Japanese staff officer beside him spread out.
Soon, all the Japanese staff officers and officers gathered together expressed their opinions, but it was Takakura Shotaro's adjutant Soichiro Ita who spoke out first, "Your Excellency Shaoza, the infantry is pursuing the enemy cavalry, and there is not much hope. At present, the ambush force of the Chinese army has pulled away from us for at least eight minutes. If you continue to chase like this, it will be tantamount to a thing! It was suggested that the imperial troops in Fuping, Quyang, and Lingshou could be urged to speed up and block the only way for the ambush troops of the Zhina Army to retreat north. And His Excellency Shao Zuo, I suggest that we concentrate the cavalry in the current team and pursue and entangle the Chinese army first! ”。
Takakura Shotaro nodded, in fact, he had already agreed to Soichiro Ita's suggestion.
"Yo Xi, Yi Tianjun's suggestion is very good! By the way, how many cavalry are there in our current ranks, plus the troops of Jing Chen's allies? Takakura Shotaro immediately made a decision, and immediately asked the Japanese staff officer beside him.
A Japanese staff officer quickly responded, "Report to Your Excellency Shaozuo, the two teams combined, there are more than 100 cavalry and more than 120 war horses!" ”。
"Yo Xi, although it is not possible to pursue the Zhina army with one person and two horses, it is enough!"
Takakura Shotaro stood up and ordered solemnly, "I order, concentrate a hundred cavalry, and leave part of the cavalry to assist the main infantry force in the rear to pursue northward!" Yitianjun, your cavalry command tactics are good, so you will personally command it, and take a hundred cavalry to pursue it first, and be sure to entangle the ambush troops of China retreating north! I will step up my efforts to urge the friendly forces of the three empires of Fuping to go west to intercept them! ”。
"Ha Yi, Your Excellency Shao Zuo, obey your orders!" Ida Soichiro paused heavily, and soon set off north with a hundred devil cavalry to pursue Li Yunlong and others.
Takakura Shotaro led the Japanese puppet infantry to follow up to prevent Li Yunlong and others who ambushed the old tricks of the Idle Yuan Palace and others from ambushing them halfway.
