The 1st Cavalry Brigade consists of the 13th Cavalry Regiment, the 14th Cavalry Regiment and the 71st Cavalry Regiment.
Each cavalry regiment has four cavalry squadrons, a machine gun squadron, and a cavalry artillery squadron.
In addition, there are chariot convoys directly under the brigade, the 1st Cavalry Artillery Regiment, engineering corps and baggage corps, etc.
However, since the 1st Cavalry Brigade was originally sent to reinforce Taiyuan, only three cavalry regiments came. The chariot convoy directly under the brigade, the 1st Cavalry Artillery Regiment and other units did not come.
The 13th Cavalry Regiment was almost wiped out in the battle near Niangziguan. After reorganization, it suffered more than half of its casualties in the last battle of Xinzhou.
so.
Currently, the 1st Cavalry Brigade in the Xinzhou Basin has more than 3,000 cavalry, and it is a vast area, like an earth-yellow tide.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, do you want to launch an attack?"
Captain Nishizawa Yoshio of the 13th Cavalry Regiment asked again.
but.
Tadashi Kuribayashi did not answer, but carefully used his binoculars to observe the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side.
In the field of vision of the telescope, one can even see the eyes of the Eighth Route Army cavalry spitting fire, the fierce expressions on their faces, and the killing intent.
Just from the murderous intent emanating from the Eighth Route Army cavalry, Tadashi Kuribayashi judged that this was a Chinese cavalry whose combat effectiveness and courage were no less than those of the elite Japanese cavalry regiment.
On the side, Captain Oshima Hisashi of the 14th Cavalry Regiment saw that Tadamichi Kuribayashi was hesitant to make a decision.
Riding his horse, he came to Li Lin Zhongdao and said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the Eighth Route Army cavalry only has about 100 cavalry, while our cavalry has more than 3,300 cavalry."
"3300 versus 100, we have a huge advantage."
"Even if the enemy cavalry's sabers are longer than ours, it will never make up for the disadvantage."
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, this is an excellent opportunity for our 1st Cavalry Brigade to destroy the new cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"
Hearing what Oshima Hisao said, Kuribayashi Tadamichi suddenly felt a little excited.
Now is indeed a good opportunity to eliminate the new cavalry regiment of the Eighth Route Army.
If Tadashi Ribayashi had not suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Yunlong last time, he would have definitely ordered the 1st Cavalry Brigade to rush forward and eliminate the Eighth Route Army cavalry in front of him.
However, the last time, the more powerful Kuribayashi detachment led by Tadamichi Kuribayashi was defeated by the new regiment led by Li Yunlong.
Will it be a trap again this time?
Isamu Nishizawa noticed Tadamichi Kuribayashi's concerns and said: "The Eighth Route Army's mules and horses carrying anti-aircraft weapons must not be moving fast, and the Eighth Route Army's cavalry must be behind."
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, please give the order to attack!"
"Let the dragoons of the Japanese Empire chop off the heads of the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side and build a Jingguan!"
Kuribayashi Tadashi narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right hand high, and said coldly:
"Send the order, retreat!"
Nishizawa Isamu and Oshima Hisao couldn't help but look at each other.
"Nani?"
"retreat?"
"Huh?" Tadamichi Kuribayashi glanced over with cold eyes, "Don't you understand Japanese?"
"Hi!"
Nishizawa Yuuo and Oshima Hisao quickly lowered their heads and then rode towards their respective cavalry regiments.
Under the orders of the captains of each regiment, the Japanese cavalry reined in their horses and moved towards Taiyuan.
Tadashi Kuribayashi took a deep look at the Eighth Route Army cavalry on the opposite side, turned his horse around and left.
Although Tadashi Kuribayashi only fought against Li Yunlong once.
But Li Yunlong's cunning left an indelible impression on him.
How could a captured person like Li Yunlong let his cavalry, more than 100 of them, die here?
Then there is only one possibility.
This is definitely a trap.
Behind the Eighth Route Army cavalry, there must be hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, and Li Yunlong may even have ordered the deployment of anti-aircraft firepower.
This time.
Tadashi Kuribayashi, the old devil, saw through Li Yunlong's tactics.
Tadamichi Kuribayashi, who was able to inflict nearly 30,000 US military casualties on Iwo Jima, still had something to offer.
The 1st Cavalry Brigade is part of the Mongolian Army, so there is no need to sacrifice it here for the sake of the 1st Army.
The Eighth Route Army cavalry formation.
Li Yunlong was wearing a black leather jacket and riding on a bloody horse. He used his binoculars to look at the retreating figures of the Japanese cavalry troops. He couldn't help but flatten his lips and said in a disdainful tone:
"That old devil, Tadashi Kuribayashi, is so damn boring. He's not really a man."
"If it's 100 more than 3,000, why do you think he's running away?"
While Li Yunlong was talking, he looked at the three battalion commanders Zhang Dabiao, He Jie and Gao Tianyi beside him.
Zhang Dabiao and the other three were a little disappointed.
pity……
If the Japanese attack, let the machine guns and anti-aircraft fire sweep them first, and then let the cavalry rush in to collect the corn.
Not only could it completely wipe out the 1st Japanese Cavalry Brigade, it could also kill at least half of the Japanese cavalry.
result.
The Japanese cavalry had no intention of engaging in a decisive battle, or even a probing attack. When the two cavalry battalions of the new regiment moved in this direction, the Japanese cavalry turned around and ran away.
At this moment.
Two cavalry battalion commanders, Cao Jiang and Ma Renxing, called Li Yunlong on the walkie-talkie whether to pursue the enemy cavalry?
"Give me the order."
"retreat!"
Li Yunlong gave orders to the walkie-talkie.
As Li Yunlong's order was issued, the battalions of the new regiment also began to retreat, and the cavalry was still behind.
…
the next day.
Li Yunlong has returned to northwest Shanxi by car.
After breakfast, Li Yunlong was getting on the kang and preparing to take a nap.
Wang Dehou held the telegram in his hand, walked quickly into the regiment headquarters, and said to Li Yunlong happily:
"Captain, boss Chen just sent a telegram saying that the Japanese military observation group, including Kohisa Fu, was completely wiped out."
If it was business, Chen Feng would use the walkie-talkie to arrange an interview with Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others.
On the radio, Chen Feng and Li Yunlong had a tacit understanding and would never talk about important matters.
Although Chen Feng's base is not far from Dagu Town, Chen Feng doesn't want Li Yunlong and the others to know where he is, so there is no phone line between them.
Chen Feng didn't want to go there personally for this matter, so he asked Yan Shuangying to send a telegram to Xinyi.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong suddenly stopped feeling sleepy and suddenly stood up.
"Show me the telegram quickly."
Taking the telegram from Xing Zhiguo, Li Yunlong read it quickly. A smile gradually climbed onto Commander Li's face, and the corners of his mouth became wider and wider.
Zhao Gang left the army, while Xing Zhiguo was busy at the airport.
In addition to what Wang Dehou said, the content of the telegram also included the delivery time, which was set at noon three days later.
Northwestern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi receive goods almost at the same time.
The delivery location for southeast Shanxi is at Yangcun Airport, and the delivery location for northwestern Shanxi is Dagu Town.
"Hahaha……"
After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong couldn't help but laugh out loud. Finally, his work was not in vain.
Since the information came from Boss Chen, it cannot be wrong.
In the North China Front Army Headquarters, there are intelligence personnel of Boss Chen who can obtain first-hand intelligence information.
In this battle, three 03mm heavy howitzers were obtained at a negligible cost.
It's just a waste of money.
Wang Dehou couldn't help but slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Captain, why don't you send another clear telegram to thank the captain of the transportation brigade, Okamura Neiji, for providing us with information?"
A lieutenant general, two major generals, several major generals, and three Japanese planes were shot down.
Wang Dehou estimated that the Japanese were furious at this loss.
At this time, another clear telegram was sent to provoke Okamura Neji, which made Okamura Neji so angry that he vomited blood.
certainly.
That is to say, Wang Dehou didn't know about the conflict between Okamura Neji and Hisao Fururu, so he came up with this idea.
What Wang Dehou can be sure of is that Okamura Neji will definitely feel extremely uncomfortable when this clear telegram is sent out.
"What kind of clear telegram are you sending?" Commander Li showed a wicked smile.
Seeing Li Yunlong's expression, Wang Dehou knew that Captain Li was going to make a fool of himself again.
"Captain, we don't want to invent coded telegrams." Wang Dehou asked, "Then what should we send?"
"Hehehehe..." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "We will send two telegrams this time, one in plain code and one in encrypted form. However, the content of this encrypted telegram must be deciphered by the Japanese."
"What's the clear telegram?" Wang Dehou asked, looking startled.
Li Yunlong smiled again and said: "The clear telegram will be sent. This time the shooting down of the Japanese military observation group plane was done by our New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Our New Regiment is responsible for this attack. Every wrongdoer has his own debtor. The devil has his own creditor."
If they want revenge, let them come to northwest Shanxi to find our new group and me, Li Yunlong."
"Then I know what was sent in the encrypted telegram." Wang Dehou also smiled and said, "We deliberately used the previous password to send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that it was the information provided by Okamura Neji that killed Gu Hisao and the observation group.
Let the Japanese decipher the contents of the telegram."
"That's right!" Li Yunlong said happily, "That's what I have in mind, Chief of Staff, hurry up and draft a telegram."
"correct."
"Remember to use the current password to send a good news to the headquarters and inform the head of the headquarters to prepare to receive the goods at Yangcun Airport in three days, 16 heavy howitzers and 0 tons of weapons and ammunition."
Li Yunlong gave another instruction.
Hisao Fururu is worth 4 heavy howitzers, the two major generals are worth 8 heavy howitzers, and several major left officers and several left officers are worth 00 tons of weapons and ammunition.
Last time, Chen Feng confirmed the price with Li Yunlong.
The price of killing an ordinary lieutenant general division commander is 1 heavy howitzer.
The price of killing a commander like Iwamatsu Yoshio is 4 heavy howitzers, and the price of killing a general like Okamura Neji is 36 heavy howitzers.
"yes!"
Wang Dehou quickly drafted three telegrams. After reading them, Li Yunlong had no questions, signed his name, and handed them over to the telegraph soldier.
Half an hour later, Wang Dehou walked in quickly and said to Li Yunlong: "Captain, all three telegrams have been sent."
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Very good, now let's see how Okamura Neiji explains to the stubborn Tian Locust."
"Now Neji Okamura has yellow mud on his crotch." Wang Dehou also laughed and said, "It's not just shit, it's shit."
Looking at Li Yunlong, Wang Dehou showed a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Last time.
Li Yunlong invented the coded telegram and publicly ridiculed Neji Okamura as the transportation captain of the Eighth Route Army.
This time Li Yunlong used an encrypted telegram that could be deciphered, saying that it was the information provided by Neji Okamura, which was undoubtedly more clever.
Wang Dehou couldn't help but sigh, didn't the leader have too many sexy tricks in his mind?
