Between 4 and 5 o'clock, it is the dark period before dawn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The captain of the devil's brigade took the reinforced combat convoy, armored convoy, artillery team, and the brigade transport team that specially provided supplies, and left the Huangheya Railway Station in a hurry, and in a short time, he caught up with the infantry who had already walked 5 miles.

Not to mention, although this devil captain is anxious, after all, he graduated from the army non-commissioned officer school, and has been honed on the battlefield, his basic qualities are there, and he is very familiar with the infantry tactics of the Japanese army, and he is also very vigilant.

No, after walking for about ten miles, the captain of the devil brigade did not leave, ordered the troops to stop advancing, called the guide to ask, spread out the map again, looked at it carefully with a flashlight, and confirmed that it was only ten miles away from Texas City, and the captain of the devil brigade ordered the second and fourth squadrons to serve as two wings of guard, and then began to send a report to the captain of the fourth brigade of the railway independent infantry, Doi Yama Shaozuo, asking where they were. Immediately afterwards, he sent a report to the captain of the third wing of the railway, asking when the main force of the third wing would be able to rush to the city of Texas?

The Fourth Brigade of Railway Independence was pursued by the Wudi Independent Regiment led by Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai all the way to the junction of the three counties of Lingxian, Linyi County, and Pingyuan County. Fortunately, Doiya Ma Shaozuo was cunning enough, and pulled the puppet army Mujin City Department stationed in Lingxian County, and let the puppet army take the lead and the palace behind, and block the bullets for them. Otherwise, if it is fought in the past few days, the losses of the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway will be great!

When the Eighth Route Army attacked Dezhou City, Doiya Ma Shaozuo, the captain of the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway, immediately received an urgent telegram from the commander of the Texas garrison, Fuyuan Nakasa, ordering him to return to Dezhou immediately.

Doi Yama Shaozo knew that Dezhou was now the most important supply storage and turnover base of the North China Front, and he hoarded ammunition, food, and socks supplies for several troops, including the 16th Division, the 114th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, the 13th Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade. If the Eighth Route Army captures Texas, it will be impossible to maintain the offensive of the troops on the front, and the offensive will come to an abrupt end!

Therefore, after receiving the order to return to Texas, the captain of the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway, Doi Yama Shaozuo, did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the troops to concentrate and set off immediately to aid Texas.

Doi House Ma Shaozuo wants to return to Texas quickly, but the problem is that the Eighth Route Army does not agree!

No, just as the little devil was about to slip away, the Wudi Independent Regiment commanded by Zhou Kaidong and Chen Qicai stuck up and began to attack.

Immediately afterwards, Hu Qingyun commanded the Deping Independent Regiment to also surround it, blocking and flanking attacks, full of tricks.

Doi House Ma Shaozuo saw through the Eighth Route Army's attempt at a glance, the strong man broke his wrist, decisively left the puppet army Mu Jincheng Department, ordered Mu Jin City Department to block and contain the Eighth Route Army, and led the Fourth Independent Railway Brigade himself, concentrated firepower, infantry artillery, 92 heavy machine guns, crooked light machine guns, and grenadiers into battle, and finally opened the passage and began to march towards Dezhou City.

What made Doi Yama Shaozuo unexpected, these Tubalu combat effectiveness was average, but like a dog's skin plaster, they stuck to his troops, and they never gave up, chasing all the way, flanking attacks, and raids, so that he had to walk ten miles and eight miles to leave a team to block the attack, so as to ensure that the main force quickly returned west.

Starting from more than 10 o'clock in the night and going until 5 o'clock in the morning, Doiya Ma Shaozuo finally arrived at the Tuqiao by the Mache River, and returned to the place where he was ambushed by the Wudi Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army for the first time.

Standing by the Maji River, looking at the river flowing slowly in the dark, thinking about his high-spirited appearance when he first started to reinforce the Tsuchihashi operation, and then thinking about the Japanese soldiers who died in the Tsuchihashi, Doiya Ma Shaozo suddenly came to sorrow, and two lines of tears rolled out of his eye sockets and dripped down his cheeks.

At this moment, a trace of doubt arose in Doiya Ma Shaozuo's mind: Can this war really be won?

At this moment, the telegraph operator sent a telegram from the commander of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the Mixed Brigade of the North China Garrison Army.

After all, Doiya Ma Shaozo is a Japanese army officer who has been brainwashed by militarism, no matter what he thinks in his head, how to fight or how to fight, he will not hesitate, at least not for the time being!

Taking out a snow-white handkerchief from his trouser pocket and wiping away the tears on his face, Doiya Ma Shaozo calmed himself down, took the telegram and read it, and then ordered the operator: "Call back, our department has arrived in Tuqiao Town by the Mache River." ”

The captain of the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the Mixed Brigade of the North China Garrison Army, who received the telegram, found the earthen bridge on the map, calculated the distance, and meditated for a while, and then sent a telegram to Doiya Ma Shaozo, ordering him to speed up and rush to the vicinity of Dezhou, immediately cut off the escape channel of the Eighth Route Army that attacked and occupied Dezhou to the east, and attacked the Dezhou airport, regaining control of the Dezhou airport, and then attacked the Dongguan of Dezhou, and planned for the second brigade to fight.

This is to let the Fourth Brigade of Railway Independence serve as an assist!

is also the captain, the captain of the second brigade of the second wing of the mixed brigade of the North China garrison army dares to order Doi Yama Shaozuo, the reason is very simple, the second brigade is an ace army, and the fourth brigade of the railway independence is only a railway garrison force, and the gap in combat effectiveness is huge!

Almost at the same time, the reply from the commander of the third wing of the Japanese railway also arrived, saying that the main force of the third wing was far away in Nanpi and Yanshan, and although the troops were urgently gathered and quickly retreated to the railway line, they were blocked, intercepted, and harassed by the Eighth Route Army, and the troops moved slowly, and they could not withdraw back to the railway line until now, and the troops left behind in the county towns and key points of the railway line could not be withdrawn, so the troops of the third railway wing to reinforce the troops in Texas, and the fastest, that is, the troops by car, might arrive near Texas in the afternoon or evening.

The captain of the second brigade did not scold the captain of the third wing of the railway, Baga, because he knew that the other party was telling the truth. Since you are in the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to leave as soon as you want, you have to be able to walk, this is common sense!

The captain of the devil team didn't think much about it anymore, just glanced at the eight combat vehicles, eight armored vehicles and eight infantry guns behind him, and immediately rushed straight up with pride, ordering the troops to speed up, target: the south gate of Texas City!

It stands to reason that the captain of the devil brigade should send troops to make a detour to attack the east gate and the west gate, and plan to fight at the south gate. But this devil captain is cunning, he knows that his strength is limited, and the division of troops will weaken the attack force, rather than sending two infantry squadrons to outflank him, it is better to concentrate his forces and firepower to attack one point. As long as the south gate is broken through, with the combat effectiveness of the second brigade, Texas will be in the hands, and the Eighth Route Army in the city will inevitably abandon the city and flee, he is using chariots and armored vehicles to cover the pursuit of the troops, and eliminate the Eighth Route Army in the field, which can reduce the casualties of the troops.

So, the little devil began to act again, eight tanks and eight armored vehicles in front, infantry walked behind the tanks and armored vehicles, and at the back were artillery trucks and rubber-tyred carts, rushing along the highway towards the city of Texas.

Seeing that it was only five or six miles away from the city of Texas, and in the morning light, the walls of the city of Texas were clearly visible, and the captain of the devil brigade was ready to order the troops to stop advancing, form an attack formation, and establish a command headquarters. At that moment, he heard a loud "boom", and a medium-sized tank running in front of it collapsed to the ground as if it had been slammed by something, and then turned into a ball of fire.

The captain of the second brigade has rich combat experience, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "There are anti-tank guns in Tubalu?" ”

Before the captain of the devil team could react again, a gunshot like a burst of beans rang out!

At this moment, the captain of the devil brigade knew that it was over, and his second brigade of the second wing of the North China garrison army had penetrated into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army!

At this time, it was too late to know that it was too late to get into the ambush circle of the Eighth Route Army!

In the wheat field on the side of the highway, rows of black muzzles stretched out, firing fiercely at the little devils on the road!

Needless to say, this is Xiao Siming commanding the main force of the eastward advance detachment to ambush.

After learning that the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the Mixed Brigade of the North China Garrison Army was going to be transported from Jinan to reinforce Dezhou, Xiao Siming said that the opportunity for revenge had come. Because the matter is obvious, it is impossible for the Japanese army to sit idly by and watch the loss of Texas, and they will definitely send troops to recapture Texas as soon as possible!

Originally, Xiao Siming judged that the Japanese army would send the Fourth Independent Brigade of the Railway and the Fifth Brigade of the Independent Railway to fight for Dezhou, and had already planned to meet the Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Railway Independent by the Laojian River in Lingxian County, and then swept south after succeeding, annihilating the Fifth Independent Brigade of the Railway One by One, and now the Japanese army actually sent the Second Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army Mixed Brigade to fight for Dezhou, so I really wanted to doze off, so the little devil sent the pillow up!

With Xiao Siming's temperament, when he saw the troops of the North China Garrison Army who launched the Lugou Bridge Incident, his eyes could bleed, where would he let them go!

Compared with the Second Infantry Brigade of the Second Wing of the North China Garrison Army, the Fourth Brigade and the Fifth Brigade of the Japanese Railway Independence died early and late for a while, although they all deserved to die!

But how to fight, but you need to think carefully.

Originally, Xiao Siming could lead the main force of the eastward advance detachment to the south in the starry night, rush to the Huangheya Station, and before the arrival of the second brigade's military train, he unknowingly took the Huangheya Station and waited for the arrival of the Japanese military train, just like when he attacked and occupied Lianzhen, so that the little devil could not get off the train and died directly in the carriage. But this method doesn't work, because the Yellow River is too close to Texas, and the little devils there must have heard the sound of gunfire, and they also know that Dezhou City was captured by the Eighth Route Army, and they are very vigilant, and it is very difficult to sneak attack them again. As long as a little devil slips through the net, the news may leak, which will cause the second brigade that is moving on the railway to retreat back to Pingyuan County, or even to Jinan.

There is another problem, Jinan is only about 100 kilometers away from the railway mileage of Huangheya Railway Station, and if the little devil moves quickly, it may take two or three hours to arrive. The eastward advance detachment marched all the way, first fighting Yuanqiao, and then attacking Dezhou, the troops were already very tired, and then rushing to the Yellow River would make the troops even more tired, which was not conducive to combat.

But it can't be fought again when the little devils are attacking the city, so the little devils will deploy their troops, and with the combat strength of the second brigade, they will definitely be able to hold out until the fighters of the Japanese air force rush to the battlefield!

Xiao Siming didn't expect that the Japanese army was not moving fast, from more than 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock, the second brigade wandered on the train for more than 5 hours before arriving at Huangheya Station!

After thinking about it, Xiao Siming was determined to let the second brigade pounce on Texas with confidence and boldness, and set up an ambush on the side of the road south of Texas City to annihilate it all!

Xiao Siming, only Xiao Siming, is so accurate about the little devil's vein! (To be continued.) )
