Li Yunlong took the remaining half of the new regiment to the 28th regiment, took out Ding Wei's regimental commander's decree, and greeted the Eighth Route soldiers in the 28th regiment's defense area.
Da Dao brought a group of Japanese traitors to attack the 28th Regiment. Ding Wei asked the Eighth Route Soldiers of the 28 Regiment to cooperate with Li Yunlong's order to resist Da Dao.
The remaining Eighth Route Army soldiers of the 28th Regiment quickly changed their tactics according to Li Yunlong's request.
Odao led the Japs and traitors to the defense area of the 28th Regiment. This attack was extremely sharp. The remaining Eighth Route Army soldiers of the 28th Regiment did not resist directly. Instead, they used the terrain to harass and hinder Odao's troops, holding them back as much as possible. island.
"Taijun, looking at the situation of the 28th Regiment, although the number of Tubal Road resisting us is not large, they are fully prepared for a sneak attack. It seems unrealistic for us to reach Ping'an County as soon as possible." The commander of the Imperial Association Army said to Oshima.
"Have you not noticed?" Oshima said solemnly, "Why are there not many Tubal Roads resisting us?"
"It is estimated that most of the Tuba Road has been deployed to Ping'an County to besiege and prevent the defenders of Ping'an County from breaking out." The commander of the Imperial Association Army replied.
"Since a small part of the Tubal Road can delay our offensive edge, our attack now will definitely alarm the 28th Regiment. Tomorrow, most of the Tubal Road will definitely be transferred over. At that time, our lightning tactics will I’m afraid it won’t be easy to fight,” Oshima said.
"Then Taijun means to send electricity to the Ping'an garrison and ask them to send troops out of the city to cooperate with us in the battle?" the commander of the Imperial Association Army said tentatively.
Oshima shook his head: "Even if the 28th Regiment all comes over, they can't stop my progress, but the biggest problem is time. The defenders of Ping'an County can no longer hold on for ten days. We must fight within a week. Fight to the foot of Ping'an County and send supplies up. The guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare of the 28th Regiment are too time-consuming to deal with. As for letting the Ping'an defenders send troops out of the city to cooperate with us in the battle, this will not work! Pingxian County is now occupied by the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army Watching with eager eyes, once Ping'an County sends troops to reinforce the 28th Regiment, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will most likely take advantage of the opportunity to capture Ping'an County. The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has heavy weapons for attacking and must be defended."
"Then Taijun means..."
"We withdraw and fight through the 358th Regiment's defense zone," Oshima said.
When the commander of the Imperial Association Army heard this, he was confused: "Taijun, are you kidding me? The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has a total of five thousand people. Let's kill through their defense area. This, this, this difficulty It’s probably too big.”
The commander of the Imperial Association did not dare to say whether Odao's brain was filled with water.
If you leave the 28th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army alone as a soft persimmon, are you going to fight against the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? !
"Although the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has 5,000 people, their fighting style is rigid. They only know how to fight positional warfare. Fighting positional warfare with them is easier than playing guerrilla warfare with Tubal Road." Da Dao said stubbornly, "Give it to the back. Lear sent an order that we are going to kill the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army and ask him to change the direction of follow-up."
"Taijun, there are 5,000 people in the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Do you think again..." The commander of the Imperial Association Army still wanted to persuade.
Odao interrupted: "The Ping'an defenders have been holding out for less than ten days. I'll give you a week. Can you fight with the Tubal 28th Regiment to reach the foot of Ping'an County? You have already seen that some Tubal Road has occupied advantageous locations. It's enough to delay us. Once the entire regiment's Tuba Road comes up, how long do you think it will take for us to fight to the foot of Ping'an County, half a month, or a month!"
"This, this, this..." The commander of the Royal Association Army stopped talking.
According to intelligence, the number of Tubal Road in the 28th Regiment must be more than 3,000.
These more than 3,000 people have a geographical advantage to block them. It is really unrealistic to break through within a week.
By then, Ping'an County's supplies would be completely exhausted, and their efforts would be in vain.
Although the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has 5,000 people, their fighting style is rigid. If they can be defeated head-on, they can rush directly to Ping'an County.
The brigade on Oshima is at full strength, with a force of one thousand men.
What's more, there are two Imperial Association legions assisting, four thousand against five thousand, there is no hope of winning.
"Contact Lear immediately." Oshima said.
"Yes." The commander of the Royal Association Army immediately complied.
Neither the commander of the Imperial Association nor Odao knew that Lear had become a prisoner.
The cavalry messengers sent by the commander of the Imperial Association rushed towards Lear and collided with Kong Jie and Ding Wei's troops.
The cavalry signalman tried to run away, but was shot and wounded indiscriminately, and was finally captured alive.
After seizing the time to interrogate the cavalry signal soldier and finding the order book from him, Kong Jie looked at Ding Wei: "Old Ding, it's obvious. Old Li asked the remaining troops of your 28th Regiment to resist Da Dao in his own way. Little devil, Da Dao must have thought that it was impossible to get to Ping'an County within the limited time, so Da Dao changed his mind and turned around to fight Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment."
"What kind of medicine is sold in this kid Li Yunlong's gourd!" Ding Wei frowned again. From the beginning, he felt that there was something wrong with Li Yunlong's tactics.
Now it seems that Da Dao has been tricked by Li Yunlong into attacking Chu Yunfei and borrowing a passage from the defense area of the 358th Regiment. This once again aroused Ding Wei's suspicion.
When Da Dao goes to fight Chu Yunfei, no matter who wins or loses, Li Yunlong said he would send reinforcements. Where would he send reinforcements?
If things go wrong, Da Dao and Chu Yunfei are fighting fiercely, while he, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong have nothing to do.
Because even if Odao asks for help then, it will be trouble caused by Chu Yunfei, not the 28th Regiment.
Even if reinforcements from Da Dao are needed, that is still a matter for the Jinsui Army.
"Old Ding, you don't care what kind of medicine is sold in this kid Li Yunlong's gourd." Kong Jie said, "I guess Lao Li wants to reduce our losses. Think about it, in the hands of this little devil like Da Dao The total number of Japanese and traitors is still four thousand. Let Da Dao fight Chu Yunfei head-on. Chu Yunfei is not easy to mess with. Da Dao will probably be defeated. Once Da Dao is defeated, he will definitely not have enough troops. If there are too many, then Oshima may change his mind and leave your 28th Regiment. At that time, Oshima will not have many troops, and it will be easier for us to deal with him. "
"Well, that makes sense." Ding Wei agreed. Although his doubts were cleared, he still felt that some key points had been missed. He questioned: "If this guy Li Yunlong's tactics are like this, Why didn't he tell us before? It didn't matter if he told us in advance..."
Kong Jie interrupted Ding Wei: "Old Ding, why are you thinking so much? In short, just remember that Li Yunlong never suffers a loss in a war. Let's follow him and we won't suffer a loss."
"Then, should we inform Li Yunlong about the situation on the big island now?" Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie. Even the 386 brigade commander couldn't figure out the temper of this guy Li Yunlong. He had so many doubts in his heart now. , but still suppressed it.
Maybe Kong Jie is right.
This kid Li Yunlong never suffers a loss in a battle, so don't think too much about it, just follow this kid Li Yunlong first.
As soon as they met, Li Yunlong presented a battalion of equipment.
When the work is done, there may be a surprise.
"Of course you have to tell Lao Li about the change in the enemy's situation. When the time comes, I'll also ask Lao Li that Da Dao and Chu Yunfei have started to fight. Should we take advantage of the situation and overwhelm him?" Kong Jie said.
If Da Dao and Chu Yunfei fight, and Kong Jie and Li Yunlong take advantage of the situation to kill them, Da Dao will definitely lose.
At that time, it would definitely be less difficult to unite with the 358th Regiment to capture Da Dao than to regroup with the 28 Regiment later on.
"Then you should immediately send someone to contact Lao Li." Ding Wei said.
"Yeah." Kong Jie agreed, and immediately sent the cavalry communications troops to take a detour to the 28th Regiment's defense area.
The cavalry communications soldier arrived at the defense area of the 28th Regiment. When he heard that Li Yunlong was leading his troops towards Ping'an County, he rode his horse and quickly chased after him.
Li Yunlong, with half of the new regiment, had already chosen an ambush location. Li Yunlong was preparing to set up an ambush position when he saw Kong Jie's cavalry correspondent sending intelligence.
Li Yunlong took the information and looked at it, but he felt lonely.
Although he is now strengthening his cultural studies, time is still short, and many words in the information are still unfamiliar, so he handed the information to the literate Zhang Dabiao next to him: "Dabiao, look at what is written here."
Zhang Dabiao received the information and read it to Li Yunlong: "Da Dao led the team to withdraw from the 28th Regiment's defense area and marched in the direction of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. It seems that they want to borrow the road from the 358th Regiment."
"First plug this kid's ears." Li Yunlong asked someone to plug the ears of Kong Jie's cavalry signal soldier. There were some things that the cavalry signal soldier could not take back now.
After Kong Jie's cavalry messengers had their ears blocked.
Li Yunlong immediately shouted: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop working and digging trenches, the combat mission is cancelled!"
When the soldiers in the new regiment heard that Li Yunlong said that the combat mission was cancelled, they all stopped and looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously.
"Everyone, the latest information is that the little Jaap Odao and his Japs and traitors abandoned the 28th Regiment. They turned around to fight Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment." Li Yunlong laughed, "Hahahaha, this is really a blessing from God. I also!"
Zhang Dabiao's mind was spinning rapidly, and he said thoughtfully to Li Yunlong: "Captain, what do you mean, is that once Da Dao and Chu Yunfei start fighting, the defenders of Ping'an County will take the opportunity to send troops to cooperate with Da Dao to attack Chu Yunfei." Fei, at that time, we took advantage of the opportunity to capture Ping'an County?"
"Da Biao, you boy reacts very quickly." Li Yunlong nodded and said: "This boy Chu Yunfei has five thousand troops. Even if Da Dao is possessed by the God of War, it is impossible to defeat Chu Yunfei in a short time. When Da Dao attacks Chu Yunfei, what they are fighting for is time. Then Da Dao will definitely ask the defenders of Ping An County to send troops to cooperate with the battle. What we have to do is to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Ping An County after Ping An County sends troops! "
"Captain, wouldn't Ping'an County be on guard against the 28th Regiment?" Someone questioned, "Once Ping'an County sends troops, the force will be empty. If the 28th Regiment takes the opportunity to attack..."
Li Yunlong interrupted with a smile: "Silly boy, don't you look at what equipment the 28th Regiment has now. It only has one mortar. Even if Ping'an County has sent troops, how can the 28th Regiment only have one mortar? It is possible to break through the defense of Ping'an County! Therefore, the defenders of Ping'an County and Odao will not worry about the 28th Regiment taking the opportunity to attack. But they never expected, hahahahahaha, I'm here!"
Li Yunlong's laughter soon infected the soldiers of the new regiment:
"Hahaha, commander, this is called a mantis stalking a cicada with an oriole behind. The Japanese traitors in Ping'an County don't take a single mortar from the 28th Regiment seriously, but we do have enough artillery for attack."
"Yes, we don't even need to lure out the defenders of Ping'an County, Da Dao will have to do the work."
"This way, we won't have to ambush, but we won't be able to capture the weapons of the defenders who came out safely."
"What do the weapons from the Ping'an defenders mean? We first capture Ping'an County and then attack them. Aren't these weapons still ours?"
"Staying in the new regiment to fight is indeed better than returning to the national army."
"Yes, if we go back to the National Army, we might lose another battle now. The New Regiment will soon be able to win a big victory again."
"Conquer Ping'an County with armed force!"
…
"Da Biao, please reply to Lao Kong and Lao Ding and tell them that when Chu Yunfei and Da Dao start fighting, they and their team should stop taking action first. They will take action when Chu Yunfei cannot win. "Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao.
According to Li Yunlong's original plan, it was to first let Ding Wei's remaining troops lag behind Da Dao's troops, allowing Kong Jie and Ding Wei to bite them and buy time.
Once Kong Jie and Ding Wei lead their troops to eliminate Lear and catch up with Da Dao, Da Dao will inevitably ask for help from Ping'an County.
As soon as the Ping'an defenders came out, Li Yunlong destroyed them.
After destroying the Ping'an defenders, Li Yunlong can take advantage of the situation and capture Ping'an County.
Ping'an County has been taken, let's work together to conquer Da Dao later!
But now, the situation on the battlefield has changed.
Li Yunlong used the small number of troops of the 28th Regiment to delay Da Dao, making the little devil Da Dao think that he could not break through the 28 Regiment's defense area within the limited time, so the little devil Da Dao abandoned the 28 Regiment's defense area and turned around to attack Chu Yun. The 358th Regiment is flying, and they want to fight from the 358th Regiment's defense area to Ping'an County.
Since there is an opportunity for Lao Kong and Lao Ding to join forces with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment of 5,000 people to destroy Da Dao, then this opportunity must be seized.
It's just a matter of seizing the opportunity, and the timing of dispatching troops is also important.
It would be inappropriate for Da Dao and Chu Yunfei to send troops as soon as they started fighting.
Because Chu Yunfei had not yet faced the attack from the Ping'an defenders at that time, Chu Yunfei could still withstand it.
Once the Ping'an defenders send troops, Chu Yunfei will feel uncomfortable.
If we send out troops at that time, we will be rescuing the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
We rescued the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, we rescued Chu Yunfei, he must repay the favor.
Then the supplies in Ping'an County are our reward, and Chu Yunfei will have no reason to ask for them when the time comes.
When asking Zhang Dabiao and Ding Wei and Kong Jie to reply, they could not directly say in the letter that Chu Yunfei would not take action until Ping'an County sent troops to cooperate with Da Dao.
Now it seems that Ding Wei doesn't know that we, Lao Li, are going to take over Ping'an County, so we can't take the initiative to mention this to Ding Wei yet.
Otherwise, Ding Wei would definitely not be willing to accept it.
As for the seizure of Ping'an County later, Ding Wei wants to report it.
At that time, Li Yunlong was no longer worried. How could our Brigade Commander Chen Da easily let the things shipped to the 386th Brigade disappear? impossible!
"Yes, regimental commander." Zhang Dabiao quickly wrote a reply and handed it to Kong Jie's cavalry communications soldier.
At this time, the ears of the cavalry messengers were also restored.
The cavalry messenger took the reply and left quickly.
As soon as the cavalry communications soldiers left, Li Yunlong also waved his hand: "Let's go to Ping'an County and prepare for a strong attack."
"Yes." Half of the soldiers of the new regiment set off happily.
Kong Jie's cavalry messenger came back on a fast horse and handed the reply letter into Kong Jie's hands.
Kong Jie opened the reply and looked at it, and Ding Wei also looked over.
In the reply letter, Li Yunlong agreed to let Ding Wei and Kong Jie cooperate with Chu Yunfei to attack the big island, but they could only attack when Chu Yunfei couldn't win.
Ding Wei immediately became suspicious again: "There seems to be something wrong with Lao Li's letter this time. We have to cooperate with Chu Yunfei to attack the big island. Shouldn't we attack when Chu Yunfei's army is at its peak? It will be Chu Yunfei who will attack instead. Attack when you don't win, this..."
Before Ding Wei finished speaking, Kong Jie interrupted: "Old Ding, don't even think about it. Chu Yunfei has five thousand men and horses. How can it be so easy for Da Dao to defeat Chu Yunfei? . I guess what Lao Li means is to use Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment to consume Da Dao's vitality and consume Da Dao's vitality. To say the least, if Chu Yunfei really can't defeat Da Dao, I guess at that time The big island is also at the end of the war. If we attack at that time, we can minimize our casualties, and it is easiest to hit the big island hard."
"It seems to be the same." Upon hearing this, Ding Wei's doubts were reduced.
This is indeed the case. Although Odao has four thousand troops, if they are all Japanese soldiers, then Chu Yunfei will definitely not be his opponent.
But among Da Dao's four thousand troops, there were only one thousand Japs. One thousand Japs defeated Chu Yunfei's five thousand. Chu Yunfei was a top student who graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, so he would not be defeated so easily.
If Odao can really defeat Chu Yunfei, Odao's troops will definitely be in trouble.
At that time, Ding Wei and Kong Jie took the opportunity to attack behind Da Dao. It was indeed the most appropriate opportunity!
As for whether Chu Yunfei will blame them for sending troops too late, then don't worry.
We helped Chu Yunfei, but he still blamed us? He, Chu Yunfei, is also a shameless person!
"However, there is another possibility." Kong Jie said, "That is, if Da Dao cannot defeat Chu Yunfei..."
Ding Wei interrupted: "If Da Dao can't defeat Chu Yunfei, his vitality will definitely be severely damaged. Can he still be our opponent? Let's kill him!"
"That's true, that's true, haha."
