Because of the dim moonlight, the new regiment marched without lighting torches.
As Li Yunlong's order was issued, more than 700 cavalrymen from the 1st Cavalry Battalion lit torches one after another, and then, led by Cao Jiang, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, rumbled towards Yangquan City.
Li Yunlong stared and continued to order: "The 1st Synthetic Battalion will immediately follow the 1st Cavalry Battalion and reinforce the 1st Cavalry Battalion to surround Yangquan City."
"Combined the 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion, bypassed Yangquan City, and went straight to the three lines of defense of the 37th Division."
"In a word, all troops will complete the encirclement of the son of a bitch 37th Division in the shortest possible time according to the combat plan!"
"Yes!" Chen Baoshan quickly ordered while holding a walkie-talkie.
As the order from the regiment headquarters was issued, not only the cavalry of the new regiment started running at full speed, but also the infantry of the new regiment.
He ran towards Yangquan at an extremely fast speed.
"Look, Lao Li, there's a fight over in Yangquan."
Not long after, the sound of cannons came from the direction of Yangquan City. Zhao Gang pointed in the direction of Yangquan and said.
Li Yunlong raised the telescope and looked at it, listened carefully for a while, and said happily: "Haha, God help me, this means that the headquarters of the 37th Division is still in Yangquan City."
Judging from the sound of gunfire, those who exchanged fire with the 1st Cavalry Battalion were definitely the main force of the 37th Division.
The commander of the 37th Division, Adachi Twenty-san, has just received a telegram from the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji.
Order Anda 23 to immediately abandon Yangquan, lead the main force of the 37th Division, and turn towards Taiyuan.
However, as soon as the forward troops of the 37th Division left the West City Gate and were about to go to the station to take the train back to Taiyuan, they collided with the 1st Battalion of the New Regiment Cavalry on the spot.
The 1st Cavalry Battalion used superior firepower to temporarily push the Japanese back into the city.
Subsequently, the Japanese assembled a large group of troops and left the city from the west gate to counterattack the Eighth Route Army cavalry, and the battle became intense.
But soon, the 1st synthetic battalion of the new regiment, led by Zhang Dabiao, arrived quickly.
A dense rain of shells hit the Japs, leaving more than 300 corpses behind, before the Japs were beaten back into Yangquan City.
…
at the same time.
The 4th, 6th and 6th combined battalions of the new regiment, as well as the cavalry battalion, suddenly appeared in Shouyang County.
Under the command of deputy commander Xing Zhiguo, the 4th and 10,000-strong combined battalions surrounded the Japanese of the 33rd Division outside the city.
The 6th Combined Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion quickly surrounded Shouyang County.
