    With the cooperation of Hastu Leng, the puppet army commander, Li Guoyao's troops soon disarmed all the puppet troops in Pingdiquan Town and took control of the entire town!

    Originally, according to Li Guoyao's previous battle plan, after capturing Pingdiquan Town, he would see if there was any chance of capturing the nearby Jining City.

    If there is a suitable opportunity, take action, otherwise, escort the loot and prisoners back to Sumu Mountain!

    However, after taking control of Pingdiquan, Hastu directly revealed to him a big news. A Japanese cavalry regiment was rapidly approaching Pingdiquan Town.

    According to Hastureng, they suddenly received an urgent telegram from the Puppet Mongolian Army Headquarters yesterday morning. In order to reinforce the Japanese army's combat operations in northern Shanxi and central Hebei, the 13th Cavalry Regiment of the Mongolian Army Cavalry Group was ordered to rush there.  The Lingqiu frontline battle is expected to arrive at Pingdiquan Town tomorrow morning. At that time, Hastureng's headquarters will detach the troops of the two regiments and accompany the regiment to fight south.

    After hearing the news, Li Guoyao was surprised and happy!

    He knew that the main place where the Japanese cavalry group was stationed was Baotou. It was more than 600 miles from Baotou to Pingdiquan. Even at the speed of war horses, it would take more than ten hours. Counting the rest time on the road, tomorrow  Arriving in the morning is totally reasonable.

    ¡°Then Li Guoyao personally checked the original telegram sent by the Puppet Mongolian Army Headquarters to Hastureng¡¯s headquarters. After confirming the authenticity of the news, Li Guoyao¡¯s mind suddenly became active.

    Li Guoyao knew the structure of the Japanese cavalry unit. The total strength of a cavalry regiment was between 1,300 and 1,500. With their current strength, the enemy's cavalry regiment had a 70% chance of winning.

    But if Hastuleng¡¯s troops cooperate, then the probability will be much higher!

    The most important thing is that Li Guoyao is not thinking about the little devil¡¯s cavalry regiment!

    To be honest, annihilating a group of more than a thousand Japs would not interest Li Guoyao at all, and it would not be of much significance to the "Suppression Operation in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region" in which more than 100,000 people are currently participating.

    However, Li Guoyao saw a larger fighter plane according to the combat order sent by the Puppet Mongolian Army Headquarters to Hastureng's headquarters. According to the order from the Puppet Mongolian Army Headquarters, their division would detach two regiments of troops and follow the Japanese army southward, and then  Rush to Lingqiu, the main battlefield, via Fengzhen and Datong!

    Among them, the word "Datong" aroused Li Guoyao's great interest. As an important town in northern Shanxi, Datong has become a strategic hub and a battleground for military strategists since Emperor Tuoba Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty established the capital here.

    After the Japanese army captured northern Shanxi, they deployed the only division-level combat unit of the Mongolian Army in Datong, which shows how much they attach importance to this place!

    Annihilating a puppet cavalry division will not attract the attention of the Japanese army. Annihilating a Japanese cavalry regiment will not really help the Eighth Route Army. But if Datong City is captured, the Japs will definitely not turn a blind eye.

    You must know that Datong City at this time was not only a military town, but more importantly, it was the most important energy base and economic center of the Japanese army in North China. All economic exchanges in Suidong, Chanan and northern Shanxi were centered here.  An absolute regional central city.

    Li Guoyao is sure that as long as Datong is captured, Okamura Neiji will immediately stop the so-called law and order operations, and then return with heavy troops to support Datong.

    Of course, under normal circumstances, Li Guoyao would not dare to pay attention to Datong. After all, Datong was different from any city they had occupied before, even Xuzhou.

    Datong, known as Yunzhong and Pingcheng in ancient times, has been a military hub since ancient times and has been plagued by wars for thousands of years.

    Therefore, the regimes of all dynasties have attached great importance to the defense construction here, especially in the Ming Dynasty. From the day this emerging empire was born, the Northern Yuan Mongolia became its most important enemy in the north.

    Frequent invasions by nobles from the Yuan Dynasty and other Mongolian nomadic tribes in Beiwan forced the Ming Dynasty to set up nine border defense towns along the Great Wall from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west, and appointed generals to organize troops to defend it.

    And Datong is one of the nine sides, so Datong Prefecture is also called Datong Town.

    Since it was the Pingfan vassal in Gyeonggi Province, its military position was very dangerous. Therefore, in the fifth year of Hongwu, General Xu Dadu led the army and civilians to "additionally build" Datong City on the basis of Tucheng in Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties.

    After reconstruction, Datong City is slightly square, with an east-west side of about 1.5 kilometers, a north-south side of 1.75 kilometers, a circumference of 6.5 kilometers, and an area of ??about 2.63 square kilometers.

    The city wall of Datong is tall and majestic, strong and steep, and has all kinds of city defense facilities, forming a defense system of its own.  The city walls are all made of regular and well-organized stones.?, stone slabs, stone cubes, stone pillars, etc. are used as the base. The wall is made of "Sanhe soil" rammed section by section and layer by layer, and the outer periphery is built with green bricks.  Green bricks are divided into three types: large, medium and small, which are selected according to different parts.

    Therefore, the defensive capabilities of this border town are extremely strong. In addition, the Japanese army has stationed a full division of troops in Datong and its surrounding areas, plus a large number of puppet troops cooperating in the operation. Even if the Japanese reinforcements are not considered,  Next, there are no 30,000 to 50,000 people, so don¡¯t even think about it.

    "And Li Guoyao's troops currently on the water total only more than 20,000 people. If he wants to attack Datong with this small force, isn't it a fantasy?

    But now there is an opportunity. First, in order to besiege the Eighth Route Army in Wutai Mountain and Fuping, the Japanese army not only transferred the main force of the 26th Division to the main battlefield, but also transferred a large number of Japanese and puppet defenders nearby. The entire Datong  The defense situation in the area must be extremely empty.

    This is one, and the other is that the 13th Regiment of the Japanese Cavalry Group was ordered to go south. If the Jiujiu Army can destroy this 13th Regiment in Pingdiquan Town, and then use the main force to pretend to be the Japanese army and go south, it is very likely that the army will not be killed.  You can enter Datong City.

    This saves the most terrifying siege battle and greatly increases the probability of taking Datong!

    Thinking of this, Li Guoyao was moved!

    At the moment, we no longer collect the spoils of war, but discuss the feasibility of this plan at the headquarters of the third puppet cavalry division!

    For a time, in the puppet army¡¯s headquarters, a group of soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms discussed how to eliminate a Japanese cavalry unit. How inconsistent this scene was!

    But everyone was completely unaware of it. Everyone spoke enthusiastically, except for Hastu, who was invited to attend the meeting and was stunned!

    After some discussion, most of the officers felt that this battle was very feasible, but everyone also pointed out that their troops were still too few.

    If this regiment alone can annihilate the Little Devil's cavalry regiment, there will naturally be no big problem. Even without the assistance of Hastureng's command, the cavalry regiment facing the Japanese army can still destroy it.  After all, the difference in strength between the two sides was three times, and even using the human sea tactic, they could defeat all the Japs.

    But it is impossible for the army to go south to attack Datong with the strength of this regiment, because the city of Datong is too big.

    Not counting the mining areas outside, the area of ??Datong City and nearby Datong County alone is quite large. The strength of one regiment alone cannot control the situation.

    Therefore, in the end, everyone unanimously decided to order the other two regiments on Sumu Mountain to also participate in this operation!

    After the battle plan was formulated, Li Guoyao immediately sent a report to the purpose of staying in Sumu Mountain, ordering him to immediately send Zhou Dafu's second regiment and Wu Tiancheng's third regiment to rush to the vicinity of Pingdiquan Town overnight.

    At the same time, all these people were instructed to put on Japanese military uniforms and weapons and equipment, but they were required to travel lightly. In addition to simple firearms and ammunition, everyone could only carry one day's rations, and they were not allowed to carry anything else.

    ¡°Moreover, the artillery, air defense troops and other technical troops of the two regiments all stayed on the mountain. In Li Guoyao¡¯s original words, they are not needed in this battle!

    In addition to these, Li Guoyao also asked Ma Desheng to organize a transportation team to Pingdiquan Town!

    PS: Brothers, we are about to attack the important town of Datong. Are you excited?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
