Chapter 409: The Devil Attacks Old Li Shifu
After conveying the order, the brigade commander refused to stay, but immediately turned around and left to return to the brigade headquarters.
After seeing off the brigade commander, Li Yunlong turned around and called Hu Zi: "Go and tell the soldiers that the banquet will be faster and there will be combat missions tomorrow. We must set off early in the morning and let the soldiers hurry up and rest!"
Hu Zi nodded. As the guard who had been with Li Yunlong for the longest time, Hu Zi vaguely guessed what had happened when the brigade commander called Li Yunlong and others aside, so he did not dare to delay at all.
Back to the command center again, Chu Yunfei and others were already surrounded in front of the map.
Seeing Li Yunlong coming, Chu Yunfei and others immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Yunlong, you are here just now. We have just carefully studied the map."
"Look here, if the Japanese want to encircle more in the northwest of Shanxi, they must march in the direction we are in!"
"And they absolutely can't spare this place!"
"Yuncheng!" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "This time the Japanese want to encircle, and the number of troops will naturally not be small, so the Japanese will never be able to take a small path."
"And Eagle Curtain is the most direct main road from Beiping to Yuncheng, so this time we set up an ambush here!"
"Okay! Since you have found a place to set up an ambush, hurry up and prepare. According to the speed of the Japanese march, it is probably coming tomorrow evening. We have to arrive at Eagle Stream before tomorrow morning!"
"Yes!" Kong Jie and others left.
The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Li Yunlong led his troops to leave Ping'an County and headed straight for Eagle Stream.
The Eagle Stream, like its name, looks like an eagle spreading its wings from a distance. As long as you pass through the mountain stream in the middle, the road ahead will be very flat.
But the dangerous place lies in the mountain stream in the middle. Although the mountain stream in the middle is wide and even a large detachment can cross it horizontally, there are mountain passes on both sides.
It was precisely because of the point that the Japanese in Yuncheng could resist the Chinese troops from the north, which was why the Japanese were extremely interested in Yuncheng.
However, Eagle Stream also has a very serious problem. There is almost no way or cover on the cliffs on both sides.
In other words, if the Japanese use telescopes in the distance, it is easy to see if there are ambushers on the cliff.
When discussing this issue, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong had a dispute, but in the end, Li Yunlong said that he had a way to solve it and Kong Jie could only choose to believe Li Yunlong's arrangement.
After the troops arrived at the Eagle Sword, Li Yunlong immediately ordered the troops to set up camp again.
Soon, a large number of sacks piled up on the hillside, and the sacks were filled with food and hay.
The purpose of piled sacks is mainly to prevent Japanese artillery attacks. After all, the terrain below the Eagle Stream is still quite wide, and Japanese can completely expand the artillery formation below.
Half a day later, after building the ambush position, Li Yunlong immediately taught the soldiers to make a disguise net and taught them how to use the surrounding environment to hide.
After doing this, Li Yunlong led his troops into the ambush position and waited for the arrival of the Japanese.
Just when Li Yunlong and others were building an ambush formation, another situation was found in Yuncheng to the northern Japanese team.
The Japanese wanted to encircle the entire northwestern Shanxi region. Therefore, even if they had the strength of four large detachments, they actually had only four regiments after arriving at Li Yunlong's side.
A Japanese corps leader walked quickly to the front of the team with a cigarette in his arms: "Shui Wuyuejun, where are we going to pass next?" Gu
Shui Wuyue glanced at the Japanese corps captain and took out a map from her pocket.
"Old Master Zhongshan, according to the arrangements of Your Majesty Tsukata, our next destination is Yuncheng. After that, you and Shan Wujun will surround Yuncheng. Your Majesty Fuyuan and I will continue to move forward, bypass Ping'an County and finally meet with the captain of the Grand Detachment!"
Zhongshan scratched his head and said impatiently: "It's really troublesome. Just go straight from Yuncheng to Ping'an County if you want to meet with the captain of the Grand Detachment and others!"
"In this way, we can not only shorten the encirclement time, but also save a large squad's strength."
The mountain-dance path man next to him immediately stepped forward and joked, "Zhongshan Jun, you are such a little genius!"
"But you shouldn't know that the defenders of Ping'an County are Li Yunlong's troops!"
"The Prime Minister has made it clear that this combat plan must include Ping'an County, otherwise once Li Yunlong launches an attack from behind, our siege will be broken from outside!"
Fu Yuan immediately echoed: "Your Excellency Shan Wu is right. This time our biggest enemy is Li Yunlong's safe county town!"
"According to Your Excellency Tsukata, once our encirclement is formed, we will immediately launch an attack and shrink the encirclement, and finally use the remaining troops to divide the troops to attack Taicheng and Ping'an County, thereby achieving the unification of the entire northwest Shanxi!"
Zhongshan scratched his head impatiently: "Okay, since that's the case, then speed up the marching and don't waste time!"
The other three Japanese corps captains smiled slightly: "Zhongshan Jun, this matter is not urgent!"
"Before we arrive in Yuncheng, we must pass by Eagle Stream!"
"Eagle Stream?" Zhongshan looked at the three of them in surprise: "So what?"
Shan Wu shook her head: "Zhongshan Jun, Eagle Stream is a mountain stream with a dangerous terrain, and the terrain is extremely suitable for ambush!"
"If the Chinese people set up ambush on both sides of the mountain, it would probably cause great losses to our large army!"
Shui Wuyue nodded immediately and echoed: "Shan Wujun is right, so the best way for us now is to concentrate the troops and pass in a horizontal manner!"
"Once we encounter ambush from the Chinese people, we can concentrate our forces to fight back."
"Souga!" Zhongshan nodded in a vague way: "Since that's the case, we can walk from the small path, bypass the Eagle Stream near Anyang County, and try to surround Yuncheng!"
"Old Master Zhongshan, we have four corps forces this time. Walking from a small path will definitely waste time. At that time, the encirclement will not be formed, and all our efforts will be in vain!"
Zhongshan nodded, frowned, and his expression became nervous.
Shan Wu, who was standing beside him, comforted him: "Zhongshan Jun, you don't have to be too nervous."
"The soldiers on the cliff of Eagle Stream have no cover. We only need to observe it a little when we arrive!"
"Once we find a Chinese ambush on the cliff, we can immediately cover the artillery on both sides, and the battle will be over in twenty minutes at most!"
Zhongshan nodded, and his hanging heart suddenly felt relieved!
Soon, led by the four regiment captains, the large Japanese troops walked towards the Eagle Stream!
