On May 23, the 71st Army and the 74th Army recaptured the villages of Ximaoguzhai, Yanglou, and Helou, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy. The Japanese 14th Division concentrated its forces on attacking the Yangguji and Shuangtaji areas, and the 27th Army's position was broken through, Gui Yongqing actually led his troops to retreat to Kaifeng and Qixian, and ordered the 88th Division to take over the 106th Division to defend Lanfeng. After Gui Yongqing retreated, Long Muhan, the commander of the 88th Division, also abandoned the city and fled on the night of the 23rd, causing the Japanese army to occupy Lanfeng, a strategic point on the Longhai Road, without a fight on the 24th.

On May 22, the Japanese 9th Division began to advance from Yongcheng towards Dangshan, and the 13th Division was deployed on the bank of the Huai River west of Bengbu, and it was scheduled to be transferred to the 2nd Army. The 3rd Division assembled near Fuliji, the 5th Division gathered near Bengbu, and the 13th Division advanced towards Mengcheng. The 10th Division attacked towards Wuyang and Haocheng.

In the huge area from Suxian to Yongcheng and Wuyang, in addition to the guard troops and division headquarters of the 10th Division, there were only official road protection troops left in the area of Nuoda, which provided convenience for He Jianye's breakthrough behind enemy lines.......

"Yang Xiaoshi, take the reconnaissance company to open the way, ambush the devil outside Youzhuang, and the guard company will copy the back road with me; A squad, eat him! He Jianye ordered,

"The wounded and the nurses followed the reconnaissance company, and the ambush site was concealed 500 meters, and a platoon of brothers was sent to protect it; Be careful. Let's go! He Jianye said and picked up his rifle and pulled it out of the village......

"Commander, what about these people?" Yang Xiaoshi asked,

"Tie it up and stuff it with strips of cloth. Don't let them scream. He Jianye said,

On the trail leading to the official road in Youzhuang, it is already 500 meters away from Youzhuang, and the trail leading to the official road is winding, and the distance of less than 1 meter is the official road; Next to it is a field of lush crops, some places have been trampled by the rebels, Yang Xiaoshi and the brothers of the reconnaissance company hid behind the grass, stones, ridges and other hidden objects, Yang Xiaoshi took the telescope and looked at the gradually approaching devils......

The devil walked on the way to Youzhuang, thinking that he didn't have to eat field rations at noon today, and he could go to Youzhuang to eat hot food, and the team leader led the team with a team of Japanese soldiers walking in a line on the road, maybe the official road was very close, and they could quickly get the support of the stuck points on the official road, this devil walked staggering all the way, the rifle was on his back, and the crooked machine gun was still on his shoulder, as for the grenadier on his back, he didn't mean to take it off......

"300 meters, 200 meters ......" Yang Xiaoshi watched the devil gradually walk into the ambush circle,

"100 meters, fire ......." The rifle in Yang Xiaoshi's hand aimed at the devil infantry who were in the head,

The "Bang" Type 38 rifle is quite accurate at a distance of 100 meters, and it gives the devil a headshot with one shot......

"Da, da, da......", "dong", "boom"......

Equipped with a crooked handle and grenadier canisters in each of the three directions, they were firing frantically, all of which were ammunition seized from the Japanese devils, and the brethren did not feel heartache at all......

A squad of more than 50 little devils swept down half of the frantic machine-gun fire under the first round of fire, and the remaining dozen or so devils began to crawl on the ground, took off their rifles and machine guns from their shoulders, and were pulling the bolts, trying to defend on the spot and wait for support......

"Rush" Yang Xiaoshi ordered, and the melon grenade in his hand smoked green smoke and moved into the remnants of the devils in Yang Xiaoshi's charge.

The devils near the "boom" were killed by the explosion of the melon grenade, and the sand and soil that was stirred up blocked the devil's shooting sight, and at a distance of 100 meters, it took less than 1 minute for the brothers to charge between life and death, and they were killed one by one in front of the devils......

The battle began abruptly and ended quickly....... The total battle time was over in less than 10 minutes;

"Clean up the battlefield, mend knives for devils, collect equipment, replenish ammunition, bullets, grenades, crooked handles and grenadiers, take away everything that can be used, and use the rest to pick up, we must retreat quickly." Yang Xiaoshi ordered,

"Regiment commander, there is a lunch box, and there are complete field rations in it, do you want to bring it?" A warrior asked,

"Damn, you don't want to give it to me, labor and management take it with food." Yang Xiaoshi scolded,

"Hehe......"

"Are any of the brothers hurt?" Looking at the approaching wounded and nurses, Yang Xiaoshi asked,

"It's all good, this battle is a good fight!" The brethren laughed and said,

"Don't be poor, let's go. The regimental commander came. Yang Xiaoshi scolded,

The reconnaissance company, which had restocked some of its ammunition, continued to set off, this time with the guard company in front......

"Commander, there is a class of devils in front, it seems that the devils in the card point have come out. With mortars and heavy machine guns. You can see it when you turn the corner. Zeng Da came back and reported,

"Hehe, a class, the devil really looks up to himself." He Jianye said with a smile,

"The guard company is scattered on both sides of the path, and the reconnaissance company's machine gun is aimed at the curve, and when the devils have crossed the corner, they will open fire, and if this squad is destroyed, it will be easy for us to cross the official road." He Jianye then gave the order,

A devil's reinforcement squad with mortars and heavy machine guns came to reinforce when they heard the sound of Japanese weapons firing, and they didn't expect a squad to be wiped out so quickly......

Of the 20 devils who turned the corner, 4 people carried heavy machine guns, three infantrymen carried mortar shells, and only 10 devils were searching and advancing with rifles......

"Retreat ......" After passing the corner, the devil infantry, who had walked less than 50 meters, saw the muzzle of the crooked machine gun in front of him, and before he finished shouting, your crooked handle on the opposite side rang out.......

"Da, da, da......." The firepower of the three crooked handles is not covered, especially on the narrow mountain road, and the ten devils have not had time to lie down before they are turned into a sieve by the machine gun......

Hearing the machine-gun fire, the guard company hiding in the grass on both sides of the path was relieved, and fired a single shot at several devils carrying heavy machine guns and mortars behind......

"The heavy machine gun blew up, and the rest of the stuff was taken away; There will be no devils to stop you from the official road now. He Jianye said,

"Commander, it's been half an hour since the fight started, and we've all crossed the official road, why haven't we seen the devils chasing after us?" Yang Xiaoshi asked suspiciously,

"I estimate that there are several reasons: first, the devils are continuing to attack forward, and the troops in the rear are insufficient; Second, we may have paralyzed the devils by firing with Japanese weapons, after all, there is basically no formed national army in the rear. Let's go! It's not good if there are no devils chasing you! He Jianye said with a smile,

"Regiment leader, anyway, there are no devils' pursuers, don't we have to make a detour to Tangshantou? Directly from the black stone block through the foot of Niutou Mountain to Sishan, the journey is nearly half! It's less than 4 kilometers away! Yang Xiaoshi asked,

"Yes, the scout will release a kilometer and report it immediately if there is a situation." He Jianye nodded and said,

He Jianye's evagive team behind enemy lines smoothly passed through the mountains without the pursuit of devils during the day, and arrived at Sishan at 4 o'clock in the afternoon; The team rested in the field at the foot of the temple mountain, ate dry food, and prepared to reach the Huhe River at night after being full, and there were still 60 kilometers to go, and they had to maintain their physical strength, this section of the road was full of mountain villages and towns, and the possibility of encountering the enemy was too high.
