I am helping

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

"Your Excellency, the latest news from the First Army Command."

"The Eighth Route Cavalry around Datong City has about the strength of a cavalry regiment, and the Eighth Route Cavalry has completed the encirclement of Datong City."

"So the head of the 3rd Brigade saw Major General Yin Sanxiong again, and gave up turning north and sticking to the city of Datong."

"On the one hand, I saw Major General Yin Sanxiong again and asked for tactical guidance. On the other hand, I saw Major General Yin Sanxiong again and asked for bombers to blow up the supplies at Datong Station."

Neiji Okamura just woke up when he heard Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe reporting to him with a serious face and tone.

Neiji Okamura, who originally wanted to practice a wave of sword skills, quickly darkened his face and eyes.

What does this re-meeting Yin Sanxiong do?
The Eighth Route Cavalry had already arrived at the city of Datong, only to find out that they are nothing but trash!
It was Neiji Okamura's decision to reorganize the 3rd Brigade into an independent mixed 3rd Brigade.

He had already discovered that Yin Sanxiong was not capable enough, so he planned to change to a more capable brigade commander, and the Major General Yamamoto Kazuki recommended by the commander of the First Army Yoshio Iwamatsu, Okamura Ningji was very optimistic.

However, Neiji Okamura never expected it.

Just woke up after sleeping and the 3rd Brigade was surrounded!
Neiji Okamura asked in a deep voice: "Why didn't the 3rd Brigade turn north earlier?"

He stared at the map, about 20 kilometers northeast of Datong City was a mountainous area.

When the 3rd Brigade first discovered the Eighth Route Cavalry, it immediately gathered its troops and turned to the mountainous area. Even if the Eighth Route Cavalry caught up, some soldiers could be left to resist, and the remaining soldiers and the brigade headed to the mountainous area by car.

At least the brigade department will not be surrounded by Xinyi regiment in Datong city.

But in the current situation, the 3rd Brigade has only a thousand troops in the city. At this time, if the 3rd Brigade goes out of the city and turns north, it will definitely be overtaken by the Eighth Route Cavalry and then strangled.

What's more, with the firepower of the Eighth Route Cavalry, it is not so easy to fight out of the city.

The cavalry of the Eighth Route Army came to the outside of Datong City before the large troops, the purpose was to surround the city wall and prevent the 3rd Brigade from turning in and fleeing.

Tanabe Shengwu replied: "According to the regulations, the locust army is not allowed to leave its garrison without an order. Otherwise, the chief officer will be removed from his post, or he will be cut open to apologize."

Okamura Ningji's face became more and more gloomy upon hearing this.

It must have been the 3rd Brigade that sent a telegram to the First Army Headquarters requesting to turn north.

Then it took more than half an hour for the telegram to come and go.

In more than half an hour, with the movement speed of the cavalry, the four gates of Datong City have already been surrounded.

"Your Excellency, General." Moritake Tanabe asked cautiously, "I see Major General Yin Sanxiong again and ask for tactical guidance. Will the 3rd Brigade help?"

Neiji Okamura suddenly fell into deep thought.

Now I am afraid that only a full-staffed Type A division can be sent to save the 3rd Brigade.

If it is to send a second-line division, then at least two full-staffed second-line divisions are needed to save it.

And it still has to be near Datong, because once the reinforcements arrive slowly, the 3rd Brigade may have been wiped out.

The closest ones to Datong are the 40th Division of the First Army in Taiyuan, the 37th Division in Yangquan, the 26th Division, the 118th Division and the Cavalry Group of the Mongolian Army.

Among them, the 40th Wing of the 237th Division was disabled, and the 26th Wing of the Independent Infantry of the 11th Division of the Mongolian Army also suffered a lot of casualties.

But whether it is the First Army or the large troops stationed in Mongolia, they are too far away from Datong.

By the time the reinforcements arrived, the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade in Datong City might have already been wiped out.

Neiji Okamura changed the subject and asked, "A request to dispatch bombers? Did the 5000 tons of combat materials at Datong Station fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army?"

"Yes!" Tanabe Moribu said, "According to the report of the First Army, it should be that the special forces of the Eighth Route New Regiment attacked Datong Station in the early morning. Currently, 5000 tons of combat supplies have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."

"Eight... Ga!" Neiji Okamura almost went dark.

Because he applied to the base camp to mobilize five divisions to seamlessly attack the Shanxi Northwest Eighth Road.

Therefore, the 5000 tons of combat supplies have not been transported to Peiping, but have been left in Datong Station.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong actually set his sights on this batch of combat supplies, and let Li Yunlong take advantage of the loopholes.

Neiji Okamura personally drafted a telegram and said coldly: "Send a telegram to General Umezu Yoshijiro, Commander of the Kwantung Army immediately."

At this time, Neiji Okamura was not yet the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army, so he had no right to mobilize the aviation units of the Kwantung Army.

However, Okamura Neiji still has some friendship with General Umezu Yoshijiro, so I hope that the other party will see his Okamura Neiji's face and dispatch bombers to bomb Datong Airport.

As for the Central China Dispatch Army, the battle to attack Changsha was battered at this time, and it was estimated that there was no spare capacity to reinforce the North China Front Army.

With 5000 tons of combat supplies, even if the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment wants to move them, it will definitely not be so easy.

Moritake Tanabe took the telegram, bowed his head and said, "Hi!"

He knew that the general did not mention the reinforcement of the 3rd Brigade on purpose, that is, he gave up the 3rd Brigade.

……

After half an hour.

The infantry of the new regiment, led by Li Yunlong, has arrived outside Datong City.

The personnel of the guard battalion quickly set up a temporary regiment headquarters in a concealed and well-sighted position 2 kilometers from the south city wall.

The battalions of the Xinyi Regiment have already surrounded the city wall of Datong according to the original plan.

Datong City is surrounded by open terrain, which is very convenient for the deployment of infantry, artillery, cavalry and tank units.

Li Yunlong, who was wearing a black leather jacket, walked quickly into the regiment headquarters, and couldn't wait to ask: "See you again, that old devil Yin Sanxiong, has he been blocked in the county?"

Xing Zhiguo turned around with a smile on his face: "Commander, I have just used a high-powered walkie-talkie to ask Cao Jiang, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, and Ma Renxing, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Battalion. The devils from the 3rd Brigade have not yet escaped from Datong City, and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion has completely wiped out a group of devils who tried to reinforce Datong Station outside the Dongcheng City. The devil’s force is an infantry squadron.”

"Good job!"

"Now, there are only about 1000 devils in Datong City."

Li Yunlong's expression was very satisfied.

The 2nd Battalion of the Cavalry was expanded with more than 400 cavalry from the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment. The combat effectiveness is definitely not bad, mainly due to poor equipment.

Just after the first battle of expansion, an infantry squadron of devils was killed, and the 2nd Battalion of Cavalry began to show its skills.

Li Yunlong believes that under the leadership of Ma Renxing, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion will definitely become bigger and stronger and create greater glories.

Because although the current 2nd Battalion of Cavalry has only more than 700 cavalry, its firepower has far surpassed that of the Jizhong Cavalry Regiment.

And no devils escaped, which means that the head of the 3rd Brigade has a great probability to be still in Datong City.

Guard Huang Erhu spread out the map and placed it on the table.

Li Yunlong looked down and saw the red arrows on the map representing the encirclement routes of the Xinyi Regiment's battalions, extending towards Datong City.

This time.

The new regiment dispatched a total of 8 infantry battalions, 1 tank battalion, 2 cavalry battalions, and 3 artillery battalions.

There are also logistics units such as transport battalions and automobile battalions.

The total total strength is more than 1 people.

At this time, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou also walked into the regiment headquarters together. Li Yunlong looked up, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up:
"Now there are only 1000 devils in Datong City, and our army strength is more than 1, and the army strength ratio is more than ten to one."

"The firepower of the artillery is tens or hundreds of times that of the devils."

"This kind of wealth battle is the first time for labor and capital!"

"Let's stop playing with three missing and one. The four directions are the main attack. Which battalion will attack the city first and kill Yin Sanxiong again, which battalion will be the first!"

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou did not object to this either.

The original battle plan formulated by several members of the regiment headquarters was to encircle three Que one.

The infantry surrounded the east, south, and west walls of Datong, and placed the cavalry in ambush outside the north city. Once the remnants of the 3rd Brigade opened the north gate and escaped, they would immediately fall under the iron hooves of a new regiment of 1500 cavalry.

However, the remnants of the Devils of the 3rd Brigade did not escape after the new regiment of cavalry surrounded the city wall.

Then after tens of thousands of infantry surrounded Datong City, it would be even more impossible for the devils of the 3rd Brigade to escape.

So there is no need to play Shiwei Sanqueyi anymore, just do it and it's over.

"Since the four directions are the main attack." Zhao Gang said, "then the deployment of the battle needs to be adjusted."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Our original plan was to attack the city wall with the first battalion of the main force, the second battalion of the main force, and the first battalion of the division, and the other five infantry battalions would serve as the reserve and blocking forces."

"Three artillery battalions cooperate with three infantry battalions to attack."

"In this way, the second battalion of the sub-division is sent to attack the northern city wall, and the tank battalion drives the tanks outside the northern city, and fires artillery to cooperate with the second battalion of the sub-division to attack."

"Okay!" Wang Dehou said, "I will send an order to the Second Battalion immediately."

After speaking, Wang Dehou turned and walked towards the walkie-talkie.

Xing Zhiguo also said: "According to the report of the Sword Squadron, a brigade of the 3rd Brigade encircled and suppressed our guerrillas in Gaoyang County. When we besieged Datong, this group of devils may not come to the rescue, but this group of devils may come. Blow up war supplies."

"Lao Xing's analysis is very reasonable." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Send the third battalion, the main force, to kill these devils for me."

Wang Dehou had just finished giving orders to the second battalion of the division, and then he heard Li Yunlong's words, and immediately gave orders to the third battalion, the main force.

As time goes by, the high-altitude sun rises higher and higher, but the current season is early October, and the sun is very comfortable on people.

On the city wall, devil soldiers are stepping up their preparations for a desperate fight.

outside the city walls.

The infantry of the new regiment has already entered the attacking position. Just wait for the artillery unit to set up the cannons and fire at the city wall.
