Chapter 724: Ambush of the 1st Division (Medium)

At the critical moment, Qiao Youhua turned around and ordered a guard: "Go, call Liu Jianhua and Commander Liu to me!" ”

"Yes!" The guards hurriedly ran away to receive the order, and it didn't take long for them to lead Liu Jianhua, the commander of the tank regiment, to rush over.

"Commander, what do you command?" Liu Jianhua knew that Qiao Youhua must have a task to find himself at this time, so when he met, he opened his mouth and asked without saluting.

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and took two puffs, and said to him in a deep voice: "Jianhua, you immediately find a few clever soldiers, three No. 4 tanks, take the initiative to attack, and meet the Japanese army's top soldiers, listen, this is just a top search force of the devil, you have to pretend to meet them head-on, only defeat, not victory."

We will try our best to lead them around Ranzhuang Town and cover the ambush plan of our main army. ”

Liu Jianhua immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes, please rest assured, the commander understands!" ”

Soon, three No. 4 tanks roared out of the wooded bunkers to the west of the town, and the green smoke that continued to spew out from their tails showed the strong power of the steel behemoths.

Liu Jianhua not only carried out Qiao Youhua's order, but also supplemented and improved this order, in addition to sending three tanks, he also sent six or seven cavalry soldiers from the cavalry battalion under the tank regiment, and also took the lead in rushing towards the Japanese soldiers from the other side of the lurking site.

Liu Jianhua wanted to create a false impression for the Japanese army, so that the devils would think that these cavalry soldiers were a small group of reconnaissance cavalry sent out to conduct reconnaissance.

After a sudden encounter with them, they were naturally defeated, and the three No. 4 tanks that followed were to meet the retreat of this small group of reconnaissance cavalry, so that the plan to lure the enemy was more realistic, and it was easier for the devils to be deceived.

It turned out that thanks to this supplementary arrangement by Liu Jianhua.

The seven soldiers galloped forward for about two kilometers before they met head-on with a mixed elite unit composed of devil cavalry, tanks, and armored vehicles.

A fierce battle broke out on the spot between the two sides, and because the dragon tooth cavalry was all equipped with submachine guns and lacked range, they were all tanks and armored vehicles of devils firing, and they immediately turned around and retreated.

Seeing this, the leader of a devil cavalry squad suddenly waved his saber and rode forward: "Don't let go of these Chinese cavalry!" Come on! ”

Seeing that the number of the enemy was only one-tenth of theirs, the sixty or seventy devil cavalry regarded this dragon tooth cavalry as a scout cavalry who came to scout, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

So they rode forward one after another, and under the leadership of their squad leader, they swarmed and pursued.

The four Type 91 tanks in the back, and the devils in the two Type 92 armored vehicles also had the same idea, and they started the tanks and armored vehicles to catch up after the cavalry.

Tanks and armored vehicles are not as fast as cavalry on unpaved roads, and of course the former is more sustained than the latter.

So, soon the sixty or seventy cavalry left them behind.

A devil tank commander urged his soldiers to increase the throttle to catch up, and at the same time sent an urgent telegram to the main force of the brigade following in the rear through the radio to report the situation.

Because of the large number of tanks, armored vehicles and cavalry rushing by, the dirt roads along the railway line were filled with smoke and dust, as if the wind and sand were passing through.

The commander of the 1st Division, Lieutenant General Isamu Yokoyama, sat in a Type 92 armored car and led the main force of his 2nd Armored Brigade to advance towards Ranzhuang Town.

Suddenly, a Type 91 tank in front of the armored car suddenly stopped, and the armored car in which the director was riding also hurriedly stopped.

"Yaga! What's going on? Yokoyama sat down a little angrily and asked loudly.

The devil armored soldier who was driving the car was a little frightened and said: "General, the front suddenly stopped, hey, it seems that someone has run over." ”

As he spoke, the armored soldier pointed to the front of the car in surprise.

A large officer next to Isamu Yokoyama hurriedly opened the door of the car and got out of the car first, and a devil tank soldier who got down from the tank in front of him ran over and saluted him and Isamu Yokoyama in the car: "Sir, the group of sharp soldiers sent a telegram saying that they had found a reconnaissance cavalry of Shina and are currently pursuing. ”

Yokoyama Yong disagreed: "I still need to report this little thing, tell the sΓΉ top soldier team, and annihilate them for me!" Give the Dragon's Tooth Column a dismount first! ”

"Yes!" The tankman saluted, then turned and ran towards his tank.

The big Zuo who got out of the car said to Yokoyama: "Your Excellency General, it seems that the people of China are also probing our news, and we must not let them succeed." ”

Yokoyama nodded and said, "Well, the spearhead group has six tanks and armored vehicles, and there is also a cavalry squad, so it is easy to eliminate them!" However, we must speed up the march and try to reach Dingzhou before dark, and it would be better if we could take it! This is what the Chinese call the speed of soldiers! Get in! ”

"Hai, what the general said is very true!" The devil Dazuo suddenly bowed his head and flattered, and hurriedly got into the armored car.

The stopped Devil Tank Armored Convoy rumbled again, rolling up the dust and continuing to drive towards Ranzhuang Town.

Not long after traveling, another tank crew came to report, saying that in the process of pursuing the small group of cavalry, the spearhead team suddenly killed three enemy tanks, and the vehicle-mounted machine guns fired a fire, causing one-third of the heavy casualties to the pursuing cavalry team.

By the time the six tanks and armored vehicles arrived, they had successfully picked up the seven cavalrymen and retreated south around the town of Ranzhuang.

Hearing that the spearhead group didn't even catch a single hair of the enemy, but instead lost more than a dozen cavalry, Yokoyama Yong couldn't help but be furious and said: "Bastards, these fools, give me a pursuit, Ranzhuang Town doesn't have to worry about it, hand it over to the main force of the brigade, even if it is chased to the ends of the earth, this small group of dragon tooth troops must be wiped out!" ”

Yokoyama Yong was really angry, he led hundreds of tanks and chariots and a cavalry wing to come in a big way, and the enemy's small tank and cavalry units dared to take the initiative to attack and kill more than a dozen of his cavalry subordinates under his nose, which was simply a naked slap in the face.

In any case, we must destroy them in order to vent the hatred in our hearts!

Seeing that Yokoyama was furious, the tank soldier hurriedly took the order to leave with trepidation and sent a telegram to the top soldier group.

Yokoyama Yong immediately said to the adjutant who accompanied him: "Send the order, and the various departments will speed up, cross Ranzhuang Town, and march to Dingzhou!! ”
