Chapter 765: Prepare to Catch a Big Fish
Guo Dehui began to evacuate from Huilong Town with the remnants of his troops, while Cheng Ximeng immediately contacted his son Cheng Wenxuan by phone.
Cheng Ximeng planned to let Cheng Wenxuan take the first division of the Imperial Association Army to pick him up immediately, and then they evacuated to Anyang County together.
Wang Ziquan of Anyang County has more than 3,000 horses, and Cheng Ximeng has a good relationship with him, and Cheng Ximeng plans to go to Anyang County to temporarily avoid the limelight.
After calling his son Cheng Wenxuan, Cheng Ximeng immediately ordered his subordinates to sort out their property, and he also planned to evacuate back to Long Town.
More than 200 cavalry had already begun to stand by, and they would escort Cheng Ximeng to leave Huilong Town.
The cavalry battalion troops, under the command of the battalion commander Ge Haifeng, quickly conquered the outlying positions of Huilong Town, and the puppet army troops began to desperately withdraw towards the town.
The cavalry was naturally unwilling to miss the opportunity to fight the puppet army, and they wanted to pursue it quickly, but the order of the battalion commander Ge Haifeng soon began to be conveyed.
Ge Haifeng ordered the four cavalry companies to stop advancing, and the first cavalry company sent reconnaissance troops to the town to monitor the movements of the puppet army.
When the officers heard the order, they naturally understood that the strategy of the cavalry battalion to come to Huilong Town was mainly to attract the puppet army and bandits from Linzhang County, so as to create conditions for movement warfare and ambush warfare for friendly troops.
If the cavalry battalion killed Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui directly in Huilong Town, then the puppet army and bandits would naturally not come to Huilong Town.
For Cheng Ximeng and Guo Dehui, the cavalry battalion was going to let them go, which is also the reason why Cheng Ximeng was able to make phone calls when the cavalry battalion attacked Huilong Town.
The officers understood Ge Haifeng's orders, but the soldiers did not understand Ge Haifeng's orders.
For Ge Haifeng's order to clean up the battlefield, there were a hundred soldiers who were unwilling.
"Now let go of this part of the puppet army in order to catch a big fish, you wait and see, there will be a chance for you to perform later." Ge Haifeng explained with a smile.
In the county seat of Linzhang County, Cheng Wenxuan received a call from his father, he immediately got in touch with the bandit Cheng Daohe, he asked Cheng Daohe to immediately dispatch all the bandits to Huilong Town, and at the same time he ordered the first division of the Imperial Association Army to assemble quickly, and he was ready to personally lead troops to Huilong Town to meet his father to break through.
Cheng Wenxuan naturally would not inform Guo Qing of this news, he planned to secretly go to Huilong Town by himself, and then follow his father to evacuate to Anyang County.
It was Sun Weiguo's fault to get into Linzhang County from Cheng Ximeng, Cheng Wenxuan was afraid in his heart, he felt that if he continued to stay in Linzhang County, he might be wiped out by Sun Weiguo's troops, so he planned to go to Anyang County to take refuge first, and when the Japanese army arrived and the Eighth Route Army evacuated, he was returning to Linzhang County.
As for Guo Qing's life or death, Cheng Wenxuan doesn't plan to pay attention to it, in Cheng Wenxuan's opinion, it would be good if Guo Qing's troops were all annihilated by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.
The puppet army troops immediately began to assemble, and Cheng Wenxuan immediately began to set off with his sorted out property.
Although his actions were intended to conceal Guo Qing, at present, the two puppet army divisions are stationed in Linzhang County, and the first division of the Imperial Association Army has withdrawn, so it is naturally impossible to conceal Guo Qing.
After getting the news of Cheng Wenxuan's evacuation of Linzhang County, Guo Qing did not hesitate, and he immediately began to evacuate with his troops of the Second Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army.
Guo Dehui did not call to inform Guo Qing of the news of returning to Long Town, but Guo Qing was the same as Cheng Wenxuan, he also wanted to return to Long Town first.
Haowang Village, Linzhang County, in Sun Weiguo's headquarters.
The information from various places began to be reported, and Chief of Staff Zhao Lerong handed over the sorted information to Sun Weiguo, who read the information quickly.
Hearing the news that the two puppet military divisions in the county town had begun to move, Sun Weiguo had a happy expression on his face.
If these more than 6,000 puppet troops are garrisoned in the county seat, and the troops want to conquer the county seat, there will definitely be some casualties.
But now that these more than 6,000 puppet army troops have begun to be dispatched, Sun Weiguo can completely use movement warfare and ambush warfare to eliminate them.
"Yue Wu, Wang Kunyao, you must find out the marching route of these two puppet army divisions for me at all costs, and transfer Huang Gang's first battalion, Zheng Guan Zilin's fourth battalion, and Li Jiaxin's third artillery company to immediately move closer to the headquarters and stand by." Sun Weiguo immediately gave orders to Yue Wu, chief of the Operations Section, and Wang Kunyao, chief of the Intelligence Section.
"Yes, Commander." Yue Wu and Wang Kunyao immediately saluted and said.
Sun Weiguo picked up the shell gun on the table, and he checked the ammunition of the shell gun.
"Chief of Staff, I will hand over your command here, I will immediately join the troops of the first battalion and the third battalion, I will personally lead them to use movement warfare and ambush warfare to fight the puppet army troops, and now the two puppet army divisions are dispatched, we will strive to eat one of their regiments in one day, and eat all of these two puppet army divisions within a week."
Sun Weiguo put the barge gun on his waist, he turned his back on a Type 38 rifle, and then he looked at the chief of staff, Zhao Lerong, and said.
Zhao Lerong has long been accustomed to Sun Weiguo's personal going to the front line to command the battle, he knows that no matter what he says, as long as Sun Weiguo decides something, then it will not change, Zhao Lerong can only nod and agree.
Wang Youhua set off behind Sun Weiguo with the guard squad, and it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon.
The weather in August was unusually hot, but the troops of the 1st Division of the Imperial Allied Army were moving quickly on the road.
Cheng Wenxuan, the deputy division commander, was advancing on a cross-bucket motorcycle given by the Japanese, and even so, Cheng Wenxuan's face was already covered with sweat.
"Deputy division commander, Guo Qing sent someone to ask why we want to evacuate the county seat, their troops have also evacuated the county seat, they are currently marching along the Baiheji area, look at their appearance, they are also preparing to march towards Huilong Town, deputy division commander, should we contact them, if our two divisions march together, even if we encounter the troops of the Eighth Route Army, our strength will also have an advantage." An officer of Cheng Wenxuan's lineage came to him, and the officer suggested.
"Don't pay attention to Guo Qing's people, drive him away, Guo Qing still has the face to ask why we want to evacuate the county, I'm afraid they have already prepared to evacuate. There is no need for us to retreat to Huilong Town with them, we will march in the direction of Haowang Village, there will definitely be no Eighth Route Army in that area, and you should immediately notify Cheng Daohe and ask him to bring people to Huilong Town immediately, and first pick up my father to get out of the attack range of the Eighth Route Army. ”
Cheng Wenxuan looked at the officer, and he said with a nervous expression, now he was worried that Cheng Ximeng would be killed by the troops of the Eighth Route Army.
