Upon hearing Xu Rui's words, the expressions of several company commanders immediately changed.
Leng Tiefeng's expression changed even more. Hearing Xu Rui's words, what did he mean? Not only did he want to expand his attack, but he also planned to launch an attack on more than a dozen county flags in Hetao at the same time?
Didn't you listen to what he just said? Capture as many banners as possible in Hetao. It is best to capture all the banners and counties except Hangjin Banner. How to capture it? The only way is to do it at the same time! Because if one
If one comes, firstly, time does not allow, and secondly, the Japanese and the puppet Mongolian army are on guard, so it will be much more difficult.
But the question is, in this way, wouldn’t the leap-frog strategy become more fruitful?
The Wolf Fang Brigade will attack more than a dozen flags at the same time as a combat group?
Leng Tiefeng said: "Old Xu, are you planning to bloom more and attack at the same time?"
"That's right." Xu Rui said, "I just want to bloom more and attack at the same time."
Leng Tiefeng said no more, because he knew that once Xu Rui made a decision, it could no longer be changed. This guy had a temper that even ten bulls could not change! Moreover, Leng Tiefeng also felt that,
Now that we have decided to expand our attack, there is really no need to play leapfrog tactics anymore. It is better to simply bloom more and have a more enjoyable one!
In positional warfare, the Langya Brigade may not be the strongest, but when it comes to surprise attacks and beheadings, no one is the opponent of the Langya, so it is not impossible to attack more than a dozen counties in Hetao at the same time.
Just as he was talking, Digua's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Report!"
Xu Rui shouted without looking back: "Come in."
The curtain opened, and Di Gua walked in proudly.
However, Di Gua didn't walk in alone. Behind him were a dozen soldiers, two in a group, escorting six or seven people tied up with stripes. Those six or seven people were well-dressed and had fine skin and tender flesh. You could tell at a glance that they were not.
Ordinary people, Xu Rui's eyes immediately narrowed, where did the song "Dugu" come from?
But soon, Xu Rui guessed who these people were.
As soon as Digua entered the yurt, he said proudly: "Captain, guess who they are?"
Xu Rui smiled slightly and said, "If I guess correctly, they are the flag commanders of each flag."
Digua's mouth immediately opened wide, and he said in surprise: "Captain, can you guess this?"
"What's so strange about this? It's all written on your face." Xu Rui chuckled and said, "But why are these flag commanders in the Yike Zhao League? It's really weird."
"I asked just now," Digua said, "it was the alliance leader Altan Ezier who asked them to come for a meeting. He said that they were discussing the preparation of military rations for the Japanese. It is said that the Japanese wanted the Yike Zhao Alliance to prepare a division for half a month.
Altan Ozil wanted the necessary supplies to be shared equally between the banners, but these banner commanders refused to agree. When we came in, they had just finished their quarrel and were about to go home, but in the end, they all became our prisoners, haha
.”
"What is this called?" Xu Rui chuckled and said to Leng Tiefeng and the others, "This is called a hardworking person. God will not let you down. Three thousand Yuejia can swallow up Wu! I know we have to bloom more and fight for more than ten people in Hetao.
The flags all started at the same time, and there was a shortage of manpower, so God sent these flag captains to help us, haha."
Leng Tiefeng, Cheng Luming and other company commanders also started laughing.
Indeed, with these flag commanders as hostages, the certainty of taking down each flag is even greater, because the Langya team members can disguise themselves as the personal guards of each flag commander, easily enter each flag, and then force the flag commander to
Summon the main officers of the puppet Mongolian army under your command, come to the flag for a meeting, and then control these officers, and the flag will be taken.
Of course, this is only the initial victory, and there is still a lot of work to be done next. After all, no matter how powerful the Wolf Fang is, each combat team can only kill the Japanese garrison, and then control the mansions of each flag commander.
Next, through the flag commander's forced landing of the Puppet-Mongolian garrison and the dispatch of troops to the garrison, we have to count on follow-up.
At that moment, Xu Rui said to Leng Tiefeng: "Veteran, I will leave the specific task assignment to you."
Leng Tiefeng hummed and said, "Lao Xu, don't worry, I will make arrangements."
After saying that, Leng Tiefeng turned around and left, not forgetting to take the flag commanders away before leaving.
Watching Leng Tiefeng's figure go away, Cheng Luming said: "Captain, what is the mission of our Seventh Battalion?"
"Is your mission of the Seventh Battalion?" Xu Rui smiled ferociously and said, "It is to train the surrendered troops of the Puppet Mongolian Army as soon as possible, and then prepare for battle."
"Are there any combat missions?" Cheng Luming and the others cheered up.
Xu Rui said: "There will definitely be a combat mission within two days."
"Yes!" Cheng Luming and the other three stood at attention before saluting again.
…
Let’s not talk about Xu Rui’s side for now, let’s talk about the little devil later.
Because the Langya Brigade's surprise attack on the Ikezhao League was so successful that not a single enemy stationed in the Ikezhao League escaped, and the First Puppet Mongolian Army Cavalry Division in Altan Ezil was forced to land again. After that, Xu Rui
The news was deliberately blocked, so it was not until the evening of the next day that Chang Yong finally learned that the Yike Zhao League had fallen.
The reason why Changyong was able to know that something had happened to the Yikezhao League was because of Altan Ozil.
As Altan Ozil is a leading figure of the Mongolian people, the Japs are naturally very interested in him. Like the German king and the commander-in-chief of the Puppet Mongolian Army Li Shouxin, the Japanese secret service also sent Altan Ozil to his side.
He hired a female agent, of course, in name only a Mongolian female college student who loves Altan Ozil.
But in fact, Altan Ozil also knew what was going on. Otherwise, for a bad old man like him, a female college student of seventeen or eighteen years old who looked like a flower would be willing to ride for him? What a dream! Just because
Knowing that this was a Japanese female agent, Altan Ozil could enjoy her beauty with peace of mind.
After Altan Ezil was detained, Xu Rui immediately asked Bart to go to his residence, claiming that because he wanted to prepare food and wages for the Japanese, he would stay in the public housing in the alliance for the past few days. However, this rhetoric was also
He deceived several concubines of Altan Ozil, but it was absolutely impossible to deceive the female agent.
So in the evening, the news finally leaked out.
Although Xu Rui is very powerful and does things almost flawlessly, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot predict the future, even if the little devil planted such a nail next to Altan Ozil.
In short, by the evening of the next day, Changyong finally knew that the Yike Zhao League had fallen.
When he first received the report, Chang Yong didn't quite believe it. He stared at the informant with questioning eyes and asked, "What did you just say? The Yike Zhao League has been captured by the Eighth Route Army?"
Hay! The signal soldier paused and said, "This is the news from the Taiyuan secret service."
Nani? Taiyuan Secret Service? Changyong looked stern, he couldn't believe it.
Baga, Changyong gnashed his teeth and said angrily: "Since the Yikezhao League fell last night, why didn't you pass the news to us until now? What were the people from the secret service doing in the past twenty hours?"
Facing Chang Yong's accusation, the signal soldier could only remain silent. He was not from the secret service, so how could he know?
After venting his anger, Chang Yong waved the signal soldier down again, and then sent an orderly to call the squadron leader of the cavalry squadron to his tent and asked him to send out the cavalry for reconnaissance.
The captain of the cavalry squadron did not dare to neglect and immediately sent a cavalry squad to the Yike Zhao League to conduct reconnaissance.
At dawn the next day, the cavalry squad sent to the Yike Zhao League finally returned, but the news they brought back made Chang Yong unable to believe his ears. The cavalry squad actually reported that not only the Yike Zhao League, but also the surrounding
Dongsheng County, Jungar Banner, Yijinhuoluo Banner, Dalat Banner and Kangbashi County have also fallen.
"What did you say?" After listening to the report, Chang Yong grabbed the collar of Xiao Lin, the cavalry squadron leader, and shouted excitedly, "Did Jungar Banner and Dongsheng County also fall?"
"Hai!" Xiao Lin nodded heavily and said, "All the county flags near Yike Zhao League have fallen."
"Baga!" Chang Yong let go of his hand dejectedly, took a step back and said, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"
However, Changyong had no idea that something even more surprising was yet to come. At noon, new news reached Hangjin Banner. Following the banners of several counties around Yikezhao League, Ruwu, which was relatively far away,
Shen Banner, Ektuo Qian Banner and other flags were also lost. After receiving the report, Changyong looked at the map and found that in this huge Hetao, except for the Hangjin Banner where he was, there were nearly ten remaining flags.
All county flags have fallen!
Changyong was going crazy now, because the situation was completely out of control.
From the moment Kuroda Shigetoku left the Thirteenth Infantry Regiment in Hangjin Banner, the task of guarding the Hetao naturally fell on Chang Yong. But now, the entire Hetao, except Hangjin Banner, has actually fallen.
The Hetao occupies half of Suiyuan Province, which means that almost half of Suiyuan Province has been recovered by the Chinese.
This was an absolutely unforgivable failure for the Japanese army. Not only Shigenori Kuroda, the commander of the 26th Division, Naosaburo Okabe, the commander of the garrison in Mongolia, but also Anami Yuki, the commander of the North China Front, and even
Even senior officials in the base camp will remember his name, but he is a typical example of the opposite.
If this is the case, he will never be promoted again in the future.
It is even impossible to keep his military position, and he will most likely be ordered to retire.
Thinking of this, Changyong couldn't sit still and must change this situation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the news spreads and Kuroda Shigenori or even a higher-level general gets the news, he will be finished!
And if the situation can be reversed before the news spreads, even if it is just to recapture the Yikezhao League, there will be something to say when asked by the superiors.
At that moment, Changyong sent an orderly to call over Yoshida Minetaro, the captain of the 13th Infantry Regiment. Together, the two of them decided that Yoshida Minetaro would lead an infantry brigade to garrison Hangjin Banner, and Changyong would personally lead two infantry brigade.
, a cavalry squadron plus an independent mountain artillery battalion counterattacked the Yikezhao League.
