The reason why Chu Yunfei dared to attack Datong was because he felt that the battle in northwest Shanxi would not end for a while.
The 3rd Brigade will definitely risk their lives to reinforce the 36th Division.
Then the 38th Regiment's sneak attack on Datong will definitely make the 3rd Brigade worry about its rear end.
In addition to allowing the 38th regiment to make a small fortune, it can also indirectly support the new regiment. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Although Li Yunlong refused to cooperate with Chu Yunfei to fight the 36th Division, Chu Yunfei was not a narrow-minded person. Although he was dissatisfied, he still wanted to help.
but.
Chu Yunfei never dreamed that the old devil Jingguan Ren would lead his troops to break out of the encirclement in advance without waiting for reinforcements, and then the main force of the 36th Division would be wiped out by the new regiment.
The 3rd Brigade that came out of Datong was on its way back to Datong quickly.
Moreover, the 3rd Brigade has received a death order from Yoshio Iwamatsu to kill Chu Yunfei and the 38th Regiment.
Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said: "If the 3rd Brigade returns to Datong like this, Chu Yunfei might be made a dumpling by the 3rd Brigade."
The 3rd Brigade of Japanese reinforcements exchanged fire with the blocking force of the Sixth Division of the New Regiment, causing casualties on each other.
Just now, Li Yunlong was discussing with Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo which troops to send to destroy the 3rd Brigade.
Although the 3rd Brigade is not at full strength, it only has one regiment and a mountain artillery battalion with more than 4,000 people.
The Japanese troops are nothing to the New Regiment, but the 38th Regiment is certainly no match.
"Old Li, we are friendly forces after all, we can't just ignore them."
Zhao Gang also realized that the situation was serious, looked at Li Yunlong and said.
Li Yunlong nodded and said: "In the entire Jinsui Army, no one can catch my eye, Li Yunlong. Only this Chu Yunfei is a good man when it comes to fighting Japanese enemies, and he also helped us in Baozi Mountain last time."
Although what Li Yunlong said was crazy, everyone present felt it was very reasonable.
The reason is very simple, because Li Yunlong led the new regiment to achieve a record that the entire Jinsui Army could not achieve.
He killed 4 major generals and 4 lieutenant generals of the Japanese army. This record is enough to serve as a group army commander.
Then, Wang Dehou took a look at the map and said: "The battle location between the Sixth Division and the 3rd Brigade is more than 40 kilometers away from Datong. The Japanese can reach there in the afternoon with a quick march."
"Old Zhao, I'll leave this place to you in Heyuan County." Li Yunlong said, "I will take the troops from the third and second divisions to Datong to see if Chu Yunfei can be rescued."
Zhao Gang asked: "Are you going to walk? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up. How about taking a bus? Heyuan County is more than 70 kilometers away from Datong. It will take a whole day to march quickly. I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold by the time we get there."
"Yes, Captain, let's go by car." Xing Zhiguo said, "Taking a car is not only faster, but also saves energy."
Wang Dehou said: "If you take a car, you can only go to the troops in one division. Our Jiefang truck can only carry 30 people at most. The Japanese truck can only carry 0 people and cannot carry troops from two divisions."
Li Yunlong calculated carefully.
At present, the New Regiment has seven divisions, each division has more than 400 troops. The third division and the second division each suffered more than 00 casualties in yesterday's battle, and each still had more than 00 casualties.
There are 60 Jiefang trucks and 0 Japanese trucks, which can only hold 00 people.
In other words, if you want to quickly reinforce the 38th Regiment, you can only go to the troops in one division.
"Then we won't go to the second division. I will take the third division and the cavalry battalion." Li Yunlong said, "When passing by Anhua County, I will take Lao Kong's cavalry company with me."
The cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng took half of the cavalry to overseas military bases to serve as tank trainees.
However, the horses and equipment of the cavalry battalion are still there, equipped with all Yunlong knives and carbines, but there are not that many cavalry, only half of the cavalry battalion, 300 people.
Together with Lao Kong's cavalry company, which can be considered as more than half of the cavalry regiment, they can open a hole and rescue Chu Yunfei and the 38th Regiment.
As for the cannons, we didn't bring them with us. We weren't going to attack the city. If we really wanted to attack Datong, this number of troops would definitely not be enough.
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.
"Then Lao Zhao, deputy commander and chief of staff." Li Yunlong said, "I'll leave this to you."
Zhao Gang said: "The overall situation of the war in northwest Shanxi has been decided. Just because the more than 1,000 Japanese in Heyuan County can't stir up trouble, the battle will end today."
Wang Dehou immediately ordered the car soldiers to refuel and assemble.
The heavy artillery that was pulled to support the battle between the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment had been pulled back to the tunnel of the shooting range in the back mountain of Zhaojiayu by car overnight.
However, more than 10 vehicles pulling cannons and shells are still in Zhaojiayu. They have to wait for these 10 vehicles to come to Heyuan County and be loaded with infantry before they can all go to northern Shanxi together.
At the same time, Li Yunlong also asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Kong Jie, asking Kong Jie to prepare the cavalry company, which he wanted to borrow for use.
About an hour and a half later, more than 0 Jiefang trucks from Zhaojiayu arrived, bringing enough gasoline for more than 80 trucks to run back and forth from northwestern Shanxi to northern Shanxi.
Then the soldiers of the cavalry battalion mounted their horses, and the soldiers of the third division jumped on the truck.
Zhao Gang told Li Yunlong never to participate in the battle, and Li Yunlong wholeheartedly agreed. Then he and the battalion commander of the third division, Yang Jiuping, got into a jeep and headed towards Datong in northern Shanxi.
】
Although they did not bring artillery or cannons, they did bring a lot of anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to prevent them from being bombed by Japanese planes on the way. Without anti-aircraft firepower, they would have to be beaten passively.
Because you are taking a bus, you have to pass through Anhua County from Heyuan County to Datong, and then go north along the Tongpu Railway to reach Datong.
If you travel lightly, you can reach it by taking a small road. The distance may be shorter, but it is not as fast as riding a car or riding a horse along the road.
More than an hour later, Li Yunlong led his troops to arrive in Anhua County.
Kong Jie led the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment and was already waiting by the road.
Li Yunlong jumped out of the jeep, exchanged military salutes with Kong Jie, and then patted Kong Jie on the shoulder: "Haha, how are you, Old Kong, do you feel comfortable eating this meat?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's so enjoyable." Kong Jie suddenly laughed and said, "In the battle of Onomura, we seized more than 0,000 guns and more than 0,000 bullets. That's it.
There is no money or water in Anhua County, so you can get whatever you want."
Although in the battle of Onomura, the Japanese were badly bombed and many weapons and ammunition were destroyed.
However, in order to confuse the fake with the real and to avoid being seen as a flaw, the wise Japanese Atsushi Sato not only exchanged military uniforms, but also ordered the exchange of weapons and equipment between the Japanese and the puppet troops.
Although there were Japs keeping an eye on the puppet troops, after the Japs were shot and killed, the puppet troops saw that the situation was over and all surrendered.
This resulted in most of the Japanese weapons, equipment and ammunition being seized by Kong Jie's independent regiment.
Li Yunlong did not intend to take any of these weapons and ammunition, and all of them would be given to Kong Jie's independent regiment and counted as wages.
Since northwestern Shanxi is hundreds of kilometers away from southeastern Shanxi, these guns cannot be used by the brigade commander, so when he returns to the independent regiment's base, Kong Jie can expand the number of troops by more than 0,000.
At this time, Kong Jie's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. The loss in this battle was very small, but the harvest was not small.
In addition, Kong Jie also had a share in the business of removing thickened bunkers and gun towers.
After laughing, Li Yunlong said: "Anhua County has already been beaten once by my new regiment. It's normal to have no oil or water."
It doesn't take Kong Jie talking to Li Yunlong to know that when the Japanese and puppet troops fled from the county town, they took away everything they could and destroyed everything they couldn't take away.
However, Li Yunlong doesn't care whether there is oil or water when he goes to the county seat. It is best to have oil and water, and it doesn't matter if there is no oil and water.
Because by capturing a county town, he can earn a large-caliber heavy artillery, a 37mm anti-aircraft gun, 300 tons of grain and 100 submachine guns.
This is the big head.
What makes Li Yunlong a little regretful is that the Japanese have not yet occupied the county towns in the defense areas of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, otherwise they could have cut another wave of leeks.
Kong Jie looked at the long convoy and horse team and asked: "What are you going to do, or where are you going to fight? Why don't you take my independent regiment and your fourth division troops with you?"
"Don't go, I'm in a hurry." Li Yunlong said, "That boy Chu Yunfei led his troops to attack Datong. The 3rd Brigade is on its way back to Datong. It is estimated that the 38th Brigade will be made dumplings. I will go and see it.
look."
"We are friendly forces with the 38th Regiment, and we should help each other." Kong Jie then lowered his voice and said: "But you must be careful to keep a distance from Chu Yunfei. It is no secret that Yan Laoxi wants to win over you. He probably takes a fancy to you.
The aid channel behind you.”
Li Yunlong looked serious and thought for a moment, then patted Kong Jie on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Lao Kong, when have you ever seen our Lao Li suffer a loss?"
Kong Jie nodded and said to Huang Zhiyong, the cavalry company commander of the Independent Regiment next to him: "Huang Zhiyong, from now on you follow the command of Commander Li, and you do whatever he asks you to do."
"Yes!" Huang Zhiyong, the cavalry company commander, straightened up.
Li Yunlong glanced at the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment. The cavalry company of the Independent Regiment had been established for a year and was already equipped with the Yunlong Sword.
However, most of the firearms they used were still the Type 44 rifles of the Japanese cavalry.
Li Yunlong said to Huang Zhiyong: "When this battle is over, I will replace the cavalry company of your independent regiment with carbines, the kind used by the cavalry battalion of the new regiment. It is light in weight and has stronger firepower. It is better than the Type 44 rifle of the little devil."
It’s not the same level.”
"The carbines of your cavalry battalion are used by our cavalry company." Kong Jie asked, "Then what do your cavalry use?"
Li Yunlong said: "My cavalry battalion is going to be transformed into a tank battalion. Why are we still using carbines? From now on, we will directly drive tanks to fight the Japanese."
"Tank Battalion..." Kong Jie's face darkened: "Why are you showing off to me? Aren't you in a hurry? Get out of here."
After laughing, Li Yunlong jumped on the jeep and led his troops to Tongpu Highway. The cavalry company of the independent regiment also joined the team and rushed non-stop towards Datong in northern Shanxi.
