In Dongguang County, an infantry regiment of the 3rd Division had already arrived here before dark, and with the help of the militia reserves in the city, it entered the city.

After entering the city for a short rest, Wu Mingshan, the commander of the 2nd Regiment who led the team, began to divide his troops, one battalion was stationed in Wuqiao County, one battalion was stationed in Botou, and one battalion was stationed in Jing County.

Several towns and cities between Texas and Cangzhou were completely blocked.

Moreover, at the same time, Wu Ming also personally led several of his divisions directly under the battalion and company troops, and rushed to the Shimen area in time, and when it was about to dawn, he happened to encounter the defeated soldiers of the Devil Marine Corps who retreated from the Hutuo River.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wu Ming immediately ordered an attack, and the two sides fought in a scuffle, with more than 3,000 devils suffering heavy casualties and paying the price of 1,000 people, before they finally got rid of Wu Ming's department.

The cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the guard regiment arrived at this time, joined forces with Wu Ming, and continued the pursuit.

When the Japanese army fled to the area of Shenzhou County, they tried to capture the county town to obtain supplies, after all, they had been marching and fighting for three days and four nights in a row, and in order to achieve a strategic surprise attack on a rapid march, they did not carry a lot of war materials, and in the Hutuo River Breakout Battle, they lost the last bit of supplies left.

Therefore, more than 2,000 devils now don't even have a bite to eat, and they urgently need supplies.

However, the soldiers and civilians in Shenzhou County had already received Qiao Youhua's orders, closed the city gate, and went to the city wall to defend it strictly, and the devil launched a small attack, but before it worked, the cavalry battalion of the guard regiment and the troops directly under the third division led by Wu Ming rushed over.

The devil was forced to stop attacking, bypassing the county seat of Shenzhou, and continuing to flee eastward.

While leading his troops to flee for their lives, Kawayasu Wenzo ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to his fleet headquarters requesting air support from the Navy's carrier-based aircraft group.

…………

Since the Marine Corps of the Kawayasu Bunzosho Division was subordinate to the 1st and 2nd fleets of the Japanese Navy, all combat conditions were reported directly to the Naval Fleet Joint Command.

Therefore, although Okamura Ninji and Mamoru Iizawa, who were far away in Beiping, were very concerned about the surprise attack of the marines, they did not know the specific progress of the battle at the first time.

Because, they can only know a little bit by sending a telegram to the naval fleet.

However, the naval fleet is not very interested in them from the army, so they ignore their inquiries.

So, up to now, the information that Okamura Ningji has is still the same as before, and the news that the three departments of Chuan'an Wen are about to successfully capture the position of the Longya Column on the north bank of the Hutuo River Bridge and open up the road to Pingshan County.

In Beiping Castle, Okamura Ninji was pacing back and forth restlessly in his office, and Mamoru Iizawa walked in from the outside at this time, he had gone to send a telegram to the Navy Fleet Headquarters to inquire about the battle situation.

When Okamura Ninji saw him coming, he immediately asked eagerly, "How is it, Iizawa-kun, is there any news?" Did the three divisions of Chuan'an Wen take the enemy position on the Hutuo River? ”

Iizawa Mamoru shook his head with a little shame on his face, and said, "The naval fleet did not respond, and the lowly official sent several telegrams in succession, ordering them to call back to report the battle situation, but they still did not call back. ”

Rao is Okamura Ningji has always been very calm, and he couldn't help but slam the table angrily and said: "Baga Yalu, this group of bastards in the navy, it is so hateful that they didn't share the news of this roundabout assault with us in time, this is simply treating war as child's play!" ”

Iizawa Mamoru said a little frustratedly: "The navy has always been at odds with our army, and this time it was arranged by the base camp to be controlled by our North China Front Headquarters, I'm afraid their fleet commander must be very unconvinced, so it is not surprising that he deliberately delayed the report on our battle situation." ”

After saying this, Iizawa Mamoru continued: "However, I think that the naval fleet did not call us back to report the situation of the battle, perhaps because the front-line troops were making good progress and winning the battle, so they were so fearless. ”

Okamura Ninji nodded, but said: "However, it is not ruled out that the three departments of Kawayasu have encountered difficulties, and now the naval fleet command is so busy that they have no time or heart to reply to us." In the final analysis, their naval fleet is self-contained, and although it is temporarily controlled by our front command, the real command is not in our hands! ”

Listening to Okamura Ningji's words, he was a little helpless, and Mamoru Iizawa nodded approvingly, not speaking.

Okamura Ninji asked, "By the way, how is the battle situation on the Bazhou side?" ”

Iizawa said: "According to the reply from the Bazhou Front Command, in the past two days and one night, the Chinese army outside Bazhou City has launched many unprecedented large-scale attacks on them, and the offensive is fierce.

Thanks to the fact that we reinforced the garrison in Beiping City again, otherwise Bazhou City would have been lost now, but Rao is so, the southern gate of Bazhou has now fallen into the hands of the Zhina army.

The battle for the other three gates is still in full swing, and all the soldiers of the imperial army in Bazhou are ready to fight in the streets to the end and die in the country. They'll hold out until the last minute. ”

Okamura Ninji turned around and picked up a document from his desk, and said to Iizawa: "Fortunately, a group of reinforcements sent by our local army in advance have landed in Tianjin, and I have already telegraphed them to order them not to come to Beiping, and go directly to the front line in Bazhou." I believe that with their joining, the Bazhou front line should be able to sit back and relax in a short time. ”

Mamoru Iizawa took the document and looked at it, "30,000 reinforcements, great." ”

"Yes, I could only send 20,000 people over, but the commanders of the War Department of the base camp, considering the critical situation in North China, coordinated with the Navy Department to do their best to transport 10,000 more people." Okamura Ninji Road.

At the same time, positions on the north bank of the Hutuo River.

The sky was bright, Qiao Youhua took a nap last night, and now he has woken up and begun to express his condolences to the officers and soldiers of the garrison regiment and other units who participated in the battle this time.

This time, the base camp in the base area was in no danger and was able to be safeguarded, thanks to the bloody battles of all the officers and men of the garrison regiment, and the garrison regiment also paid the price of more than two-thirds of the casualties.

Among them, the number of sacrifices and deaths also came out after being counted in the middle of the night, and fully half of them, that is to say, at least 1,500 soldiers of the garrison regiment died and died and rested on this land.

Accompanied by Ma Liuhou, Lin Mancang and others, Qiao Youhua inspected the soldiers lining up on the position and came to the place where the remains of the fallen soldiers were placed.

Qiao Youhua looked at the bodies of the fallen soldiers with a solemn expression, took the initiative to take off his military hat, and said in a deep voice: "This time the base area is in an emergency, thanks to you standing up and fighting bloodily, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the base camp of the base camp have been saved and survived, you are real heroes, on behalf of the soldiers of the three armies, on behalf of the countless villagers and elders in the base area, I salute you!" ”

After speaking, Qiao Youhua took the lead in saluting the remains of the soldiers, and Ma Liuhou and Lin Mancang behind him said loudly: "Salute!" He led all the officers and soldiers present to stand up and salute one after another, paying the highest respect to these sacrificed comrades.

"Order all the pursuing and besieging troops, and give me all the annihilation of this enemy army at all costs, don't let one go, and avenge the robes and brothers who died in this battle for our army!" After Qiao Youhua put down his arm, he commanded in a deep voice.
