Xiaowangzhuang, where the wolf tooth squad is stationed.

"All of them, the goal is ahead, slow down...... Walk! ”

"2 companies and 1 platoon, don't fall behind, flatten the horizontal line, flatten!"

"3 companies and 2 rows, the pace is messed up, keep the stride, keep it!"

"4 Lian, what are you doing? How have you been practicing for the past half a month? ”

"Bring it back, bring it back with all the 4 companies, you don't have to do anything in the next half a month, just practice the queue for Lao Tzu, and the next assessment will be like this, don't do it as a company commander!"

"Damn, it's a waste of time."

"With this effort, a platoon's cavalry equipment has been snatched back."

Zhang Dakui, who was passing by, said: "Old Sun, I see that the 4th Company is walking very well. ”

"What a fart." Sun Desheng said angrily, "You can't walk in a straight line when you look vertically or horizontally." ”

"It's just a little bit off." Zhang Dakui said, "There's no need to be so strict, right?" ”

"Lao Zhang, you're wrong." Sun Desheng said, "For cavalry, a little bit of difference is the difference between life and death. ”

While he was talking, Wei Xiaoyong rode over on horseback.

"Camp Commander Sun, Camp Commander Sun!" Wei Xiaoyong shouted, "The fat sheep has appeared, and the chief of staff asked me to inform you, hurry up and take a cavalry company to collect wool." ”

"The big fat sheep is out again?" When Sun Desheng heard this, his spirits suddenly perked up, and he shouted, "Cavalry Company 1, assemble!" ”

Zheng Erbao, who was also the commander of the 1st Cavalry Company, immediately gathered with the 1st Cavalry Company, except for the 4th Cavalry Company that had been brought back, the soldiers of the other two cavalry companies all looked at the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Company with envy.

In the end, it is the old foundation of the cavalry battalion, the battalion commander's own son, and he can ride 1 company first for any good thing.

Sun Desheng seemed to see the unwillingness of the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Companies, and snorted coldly and said: "You don't have to put on this expression, when your queue can catch up with the 1st Company, when will it be your turn, as for now, you will honestly walk the queue for Lao Tzu, the queue is not good, how can you fight devils?" ”

Two hours later, Sun Desheng and Zheng Erbao rushed to Sunjiaji with the 1st Riding Company.

"Chief of Staff, what's the situation?" Sun Desheng turned over and dismounted, met Wang Yan and said, "The devil cavalry dares to go out of the county again?" Yoshio Matsushima, this little devil doesn't have a long memory. ”

Wang Yan said: "Inside news, the Songdao squadron has just replenished a group of cavalry from Suiyuan, so they set a trap and want to eat your cavalry battalion once and for all." ”

"I'll tell you." Zheng Erbao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Dare to be replenished again." ”

"No amount of supplementation is useless." Sun Desheng laughed and said, "It's all our food." ”

"This battle is different." Wang Yan said, "This time, in addition to the Songdao squadron, there is also a chariot squad and a motorized infantry squadron to fight together. ”

"This is almost all the main force of the 1st Rapid Strike Column."

"And it is said that the entire operation will be personally commanded by Masao Kato, the head of the military police of Heyuan County."

"Damn, it's not small!" Sun Desheng said, "This is really going to swallow Lao Tzu's cavalry battalion, but Lao Tzu is not a fool, he is stupid enough to confront them head-on." ”

……

Heyuan County, Gendarmerie.

The intelligence of the Eighth Route Army was incorrect.

The cavalry squadron of the 1st Rapid Strike Column was indeed replenished, but in addition to replenishing the personnel gap, there was also a cavalry squadron from the Mongolian army.

Therefore, the Japanese army participated in the battle this time with two cavalry squadrons, a tank squad and a motorized infantry squadron, with a total strength of more than 500 people.

For Heyuan County, where the entire garrison is only more than 1,000 people, this is already the largest number of mobile troops that the Japanese army can mobilize, and there are no more troops.

Moreover, it was not Masao Kato, the captain of the Heyuan County Military Police, who was in charge of directing this battle.

It was the chief of staff of the 69th Division, Ryoichi Yamamoto, who came from Ping'an County last night.

Kato Masao said: "Chief of Staff, Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion has become the biggest threat to the imperial army......"

"Wait." Ryoichi Yamamoto said, "I remember the last time I came to Heyuan County, there was only one cavalry company in the independent regiment, right? How did it become a cavalry battalion in less than two months? ”

Masao Kato glanced at Yoshio Matsushima beside him and didn't know what to say.

Ryoichi Yamamoto said again: "Where did the Eighth Route Army buy so many military horses? ”

Seeing that he really couldn't hide, Matsushima Yoshio could only bite the bullet and say: "Chief of Staff, the military horses of the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Battalion were not bought, but captured by us. ”

"Nani?" Ryoichi Yamamoto was dumbfounded, "Are they all captured military horses?" ”

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Ryoichi said again: "Didn't you say that the lost military horses were all killed in battle or died of disease? Dare to love this, it's all a lie to the division and regimental department? ”

Masao Kato and Yoshio Matsushima could only remain silent.

"Yaga, idiot!" Ryoichi Yamamoto was angry, and slapped Masao Kato and Yoshio Matsushima in the face, "Do you know that such a concealment and lying will lead to a serious misjudgment in the division headquarters?" ”

"Hello! Please ask the chief of staff to punish him. Kato Masao paused, but he was quite unimpressed.

As a matter of fact, as the public security situation became more and more severe, the phenomenon of concealment and false reporting on the battlefields in Shanxi and Shandong had almost become an open secret, and it was said that the 13th Army was even more common.

Otherwise, if it had been strictly implemented in accordance with the military rules and regulations, the grassroots officers of the First Army and the Thirteenth Army would have been left for a long time, and they would all have been seppuku to thank the emperor.

This point, Yamamoto Ryoichi is naturally clear.

At that moment, Yamamoto Liang snorted, and then said: "Forget it, remember this time in advance, and wait until this battle is over." ”

Speaking of this, Yamamoto Ryoichi continued: "However, since the cavalry of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has been expanded from a company to a battalion, I am afraid that our strength will not be enough. ”

"Not really." Matsushima Yoshio hurriedly said, "Although the cavalry company of the Independent Regiment has been expanded into a cavalry battalion, the training of cavalry takes time, so the cavalry that the Independent Regiment can fight in a short period of time is still only the original cavalry company, and the total is less than a hundred cavalry. ”

"Really?" Ryo Yamamoto nodded and said, "That's good." ”

After a pause, Ryoichi Yamamoto continued: "Then the only question now is, will the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army be fooled?" ”

"Yes, they will." Matsushima Yoshio affirmed, "The eyes of the Eighth Route Army are everywhere, as soon as our cavalry squadron leaves the city, the Eighth Route Army will know immediately, and then their cavalry will appear." ”

"Yo Si." Ryoichi Yamamoto nodded happily and said, "Then there will be no problem." ”
