I am helping

The head of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army saw Yin Sanxiong again and noticed something, but it was too late.

At this time, the main force of the new regiment had already gone northward under the leadership of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

On the highway from Northwest Shanxi to Datong, more than 1 soldiers from the Xinyi Regiment lined up in a long line, walking on both sides of the highway.

In the middle of the road, there are 150mm howitzers and 105mm howitzers towed by Jiefang trucks, as well as 75mm mountain guns that are disassembled and transported.

This time when he attacked Datong, Li Yunlong took all three of his artillery battalions with him.

In addition, four main infantry battalions and four divisional infantry battalions were dispatched, and the other three infantry battalions stayed in the base area to prevent the devils from Taiyuan from going north to attack the base area.

The Sword Squadron sent the information to the regiment headquarters by radio, and after the attack on Datong was approved by the headquarters, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Wang Dehou formulated a battle plan overnight, and then led their troops northward.

In the middle of the road, in addition to cars, there are mules, horses, and mule carts carrying a large number of shells and bullets.

The jeep of the regiment headquarters and the truck of the guard battalion were parked by the side of the road, and Li Yunlong got out of the car to smoke a cigarette.

Watching Jiefang trucks dragging cannons, artillery and shells passing by, Li Yunlong couldn't help but smile while he was puffing:
"Last time, the 3 mountain cannons of the Artillery Brigade of the Little Devil's 12rd Brigade were seized by labor and management. Now the 3rd Brigade doesn't even have cannons larger than 75 mm."

After a pause, Li Yunlong's tone became harsh: "This time we are attacking Datong, labor and management will fight the 3rd Brigade out of fear of lack of firepower."

This time.

Li Yunlong ordered to bring two base artillery shells from three artillery battalions, but the 3rd Brigade couldn't even take out a mountain cannon larger than 3mm. .

Although he can only carry two bases of shells at a time, Li Yunlong has more than 200 vehicles, and if the shells are not enough, he can just go back to the base to pull them.

The last time the 10th Division slipped so fast that many of the shells Li Yunlong had prepared failed to fire out, and the new regiment had plenty of shells.

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou, and several combat staff officers on the side all smiled.

This time to attack Datong, even the tank battalion of the Xinyi Regiment was dispatched.

However, the four B4 4mm heavy howitzers were not used, otherwise one shot would have made a big hole in the city wall of Datong.

"This time, let's make a quick decision. It is best to end the battle within a day." Zhao Gang said, "If we can capture the devil's combat materials and transport them back to the base area, I am afraid it will take a lot of time."

"One day, almost!" Li Yunlong nodded. "According to the intelligence, the little devil's combat supplies are not in Datong City, but at the Datong Station outside the city. Before the main force launches a general attack, let the Sword Squadron sneak attack on the station to prevent The devils were so angry that they blew up the combat supplies at the station."

According to the information obtained by the Sword Squadron, the little devil's 5000 tons of combat supplies were loaded into five trains, and all five trains were parked at the station at this time.

The 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army, the 25th Division and the 26th Independent Infantry Regiment of the 11th Division of the Mongolian Army have left Datong.

Therefore, Datong now only has the remnants of the 3rd Brigade, about 2500 devils, and more than 1000 puppet troops.

Now is the best time to storm Datong.

Wang Dehou said: "After the Sword Squadron infiltrated into Datong City, Li Changshun also wanted to find a chance to kill the commander of the 3rd Brigade. See Yin Sanxiong again, but seeing that old devil Yin Sanxiong is very cunning, Li Changshun never found a chance."

Xing Zhiguo said: "Don't worry, when we win Datong, Yin Sanxiong will be killed as well."

Li Yunlong threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and looked at the soldiers who were marching briskly, with an extremely satisfied expression.

These infantry battalions are the main elite of the new regiment, especially the main four battalions. Most of the commanders and fighters have been battle-hardened, have a large number of sharpshooters, and have rich actual combat experience.

What kind of generals lead what kind of troops, the Xinyi Regiment is called the "Awowing Army" by the brother troops. From Li Yunlong to the soldiers, they all have the temperament of Lao Tzu's best in the world, relying on their ability and military exploits.

Among other things, just this time, with the strength of a single regiment, no one in the whole country is dissatisfied with defeating the 10th Division of the Japanese A Division.

Of course, Principal Chang only sent a commendation telegram and said nothing else.

In his heart, the Eighth Route Army is also a confidant of the National Army, and Li Yunlong is one of the most dangerous figures in the Eighth Route Army.

Looking away from the soldiers, Li Yunlong looked at the watch on his hand: "Pass my order, all the ministries will speed up the march, and arrive in Datong before dawn tomorrow!"

Following Li Yunlong's order.

The company platoon leaders of the new regiment began to urge the soldiers to speed up.

Immediately afterwards, the whole team changed from brisk walking to jogging.

……

The head of the 3rd Brigade saw that Yin Sanxiong noticed something was wrong, and immediately sent scouts to the northwest of Shanxi.

However, as soon as the devil's scouts left Datong City in a [-] truck, they were seen by Li Changshun and his team members.

The scouts of the devils are easy to identify. These devils don't hold rifles like other arms. They stand upright on the car, wishing they were nailed to the car like a javelin.

And this group of devil scouts sat crookedly in the car with their rifles in their arms.

Some devils even painted something on their faces, and made some cloth strips on their bodies to cover their bodies.

Seeing that the Devil's truck was going in the direction of Northwest Shanxi, Li Changshun immediately reported the situation to Duan Peng using a high-power walkie-talkie.

Duan Peng also quickly judged that these devil scouts must have gone to guard the new regiment.

At this time, the main force of the new regiment was heading north.

Duan Peng quickly made deployments. On the one hand, he cut off the telephone lines between the Devils and Datong City, and on the other hand, he sent his team members to ambush them halfway. Once the Devils' scouts found that the main force of the new regiment was going north, and the phone couldn't be reached, they would definitely take a car Or ride back to Datong on horseback. At this time, the team members can kill the devil scouts halfway to prevent the devil from passing the information back to Datong.

Duan Peng judged that there are telephone lines along the Devils Highway, so it is unlikely that the Devils scouts will carry radio stations.

After all, only units at the devil brigade level are equipped with radio stations.

At the same time, Duan Peng ordered the telegraph soldiers to quickly pass the information on this news to the regiment headquarters.

The regiment headquarters can also send a large number of elite scouts to intercept battlefield information and eliminate the devil's scouts.

After doing all this, Duan Peng lay down to rest.

Before dawn tomorrow morning, after the main force arrives, Duan Peng will take the main force of the Sword Squadron to attack Datong Station.

According to the information obtained by Li Changshun, there is only one squadron of devils defending Datong Station.

Originally, there was a brigade defending, but Yi Sanxiong took away two squadrons to find the second independent detachment in northern Shanxi.
