The garrison regiment ...... mentioning this old enemy, the division commander's brows furrowed even deeper.

The chief of staff judged that this possibility was too high.

With his own understanding of the combat style of the Jin Sui army, the possibility of arranging ambushes on the battlefield in advance is too low.

The garrison regiment is different, their means of combat are endless, and their true strength has not been understood by the imperial army.

More importantly, they did not break through the Caoziling defense line early, and did not break through later, so they waited until this evening.

Whether there is any ulterior secret in this, no one knows.

So it is more likely that the ambush came from the garrison.

He raised his eyebrows and shouted: "If these ambushes and cavalry are from the garrison regiment, then the two main battalions that have just crossed the Cao Ziling are the garrison regiment's false soldiers who deliberately confuse us, and all the troops in the east and south of the city who are chasing and killing the Jin Sui army may be in danger, ambushed by the garrison regiment, and the whole army will be annihilated." ”

"Order the communications department to continue to call them by radio, there are garrison regiments in the east and south of the city, all the pursuing troops have stopped pursuit, set up positions on the spot, and retreat to Datong City under the cover of aircraft after dawn."

"Order all the reconnaissance units in the south and east of the city to search for our pursuing troops in a dragnet manner, and convey to them the order I just gave them word for word."

After the order was given, the atmosphere at the headquarters became visibly tense, and everyone began to worry about the pursuing troops in the east and south of the city, who had not heard from them.

At two o'clock in the morning, the communications staff officer rushed in again, his face becoming more solemn than before.

"Sir, the reconnaissance force has an urgent telegram: they found a large number of corpses of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Association Army on a small road twenty kilometers south of the city from Datong City, divided into two battlefields, the corpses added up to more than three hundred, and all the weapons and equipment were lost."

The combat staff officer on the side quickly found the specific location in the telegram on the sand table, and then marked it.

The division commander's eyes had become red, as if he could breathe fire, stared at the sand table, and scolded angrily: "Eight Geya Road, this is already the third way to be wiped out of the pursuit force. ”

"Chief of Staff, we still have a few more pursuing troops in these three directions."

"There are five more roads!" The chief of staff hastened to answer.

Then his face was replaced by worry, and he said to the division commander: "It is recommended to tell the reconnaissance force the specific direction of pursuit of these five-way pursuit troops, and let them go to find them immediately and find them at all costs." ”

"The radio station of the communications department has not been able to contact them, and I suspect that something has happened to them."

The division commander showed an expression of approval, was silent for a while, and said: "If something really happens to them, the imperial army will have no troops in the south and east of the city. ”

"You draw another mixed brigade from the reserve to establish a defensive line five kilometers southeast of Datong, and receive the troops that may be withdrawn, and you must not let the garrison continue to approach Datong City."

As soon as Li Hao and his two battalions arrived more than 30 kilometers outside Datong City, the good news of the Hunyuan Independent Battalion arrived.

"Regiment commander, Battalion Commander He reported that they have killed the two Japanese puppet army pursuit troops, and they are rushing over with the capture to join us." Communication platoon commander Zhou Liang reported excitedly.

"Commander, a troop from the cavalry battalion has come over with a lot of loot!" The commander of the guard company followed and rushed over panting.

"Boom ......" A few seconds later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in Li Hao's ears.

Five or six horsemen rushed towards him at high speed.

Zhou Wu, the commander of the cavalry battalion, rushed to the front first, and when he was still more than ten meters away, he turned over and jumped off the war horse, his movements were clean and neat, and then he strode in front of him.

"Report to the regiment commander, the first company of the cavalry battalion successfully completed the task, successfully raided the Japanese army all the way to the pursuit of the troops, killed more than 300 devils, more than 100 puppet soldiers, captured more than 60 puppet soldiers, captured four heavy machine guns, four mortars, nearly 300 rifle machine guns, and a large number of weapons and ammunition."

Li Hao's face was directly happy.

Coupled with Zhou Wu's report just now, the lurking troops have already killed the pursuers of the three-way Japanese puppet army.

And there are still four hidden troops on the battlefield that there is no news.

The Japanese puppet army divided its troops to pursue and kill the Jin Sui army, and this was an excellent opportunity for the hidden troops to defeat them, so they would definitely not return in vain.

If all these results are added up, the garrison will definitely be a great victory tonight.

Happy to happy, Li Hao was not carried away by the victory.

Now there are at least five hours left before the dawn of the little devil's plane to arrive at the battlefield, and there are battles everywhere around Datong, and there is chaos.

Thinking of this, a very bold idea directly popped into Li Hao's mind.

Zhou Wu stood in front of the regiment commander, saw that his face was becoming more and more serious, and hurriedly asked, "Regiment leader, is there something wrong?" ”

"No problem!" Li Hao shook his head and replied.

"You've done a great job, but this battle isn't over yet."

"Our troops are all operating in the east and south of the city, and the little devils in the north and west of the city have not yet been attacked, and they must have defeated a lot of the retreating troops of the Jin Sui army, and they are very arrogant."

"I decided to let the troops fight continuously, go to the north and west of the city to continue to kill the little devils."

"This time, though, we're going to have to change our goals."

"This pursuit battle has been fought for half a night, and the Japanese puppet army in the west and north of the city must have fought a lot of battles and captured a lot of Jin Sui troops."

"So our first priority is to rescue these prisoners of war and make sure that they are safe before killing the devils."

"It's too far away from the west and north of the city, and the infantry must have already dawned after the battle, so the protagonist of this battle will be your cavalry battalion."

"The troops were divided into two, two companies killed to the north of the city, and two companies killed to the west of the city to rescue the prisoners of the Jin Sui army captured by the little devils."

"Under the cover of night, the second battalion of the main force marched to Xiaowangzhuang northeast of Datong City to lurk and wait, and the prisoners of war and captured booty rescued by the cavalry troops were all sent there, and they were responsible for sending them back, and then receiving the cavalry to withdraw to Caoziling."

"The third battalion of the main force went to the pine ridge in the southwest to lurk and stand by, and the task was the same as that of the second battalion."

"Since we are here, we will turn Datong upside down tonight, and we will retreat after all kinds of benefits are sufficient."

Zhou Wu not only did not have any embarrassment, but his eyes lit up.

It was as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, commander, the cavalry battalion promises not to disappoint you." ”

"I will now send someone to contact the other three cavalry companies, leaving a part of the troops to continue to escort the booty, and the main force of each company will march quickly to the west and north of the city."

"Strive to get to the battlefield within two hours, and then look for the combat target."

Li Hao nodded and continued: "One thing must be remembered, the battle must be ended before dawn, and then lurk. ”

"Unless there is a certainty of victory, the cavalry battalion must not fight during the day."
