Zheng Yunshan said: "Commander, the ambush force can be served by our cavalry reconnaissance battalion, they are fast in maneuvering, and if they ambush the retreating devils in the field, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded happily and said, "That's right, the team I have in mind is also Zhao Tiezhu's cavalry reconnaissance battalion, so let's do it." ”

"Yes, I'll go and deliver your orders right away, and execute them immediately." Zheng Yunshan suddenly stepped forward and left excitedly.

…………

Half an hour later, although the siege was still continuing, a large number of infantry began to assemble, and turned south along the Zhengtai Railway and advanced in the direction of Taiyuan.

Qiao Youhua left Zhao Youde to command the besieging troops, and led Liu Yidao, Zheng Yunshan and others to lead more than 40,000 main forces and march into Taiyuan with a swagger.

Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army.

The chief of staff, Major General Hashimoto Qun, suddenly broke into the office from the outside, and Aoji Kazuki, who was sitting behind the desk, was startled by Aoji Kazuki, who was sitting behind the desk.

Xiangyue Qingji's words were a little dissatisfied, and he opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, Hashimoto-kun, you are in such a hurry?" ”

Hashimoto said with an anxious face: "Your Excellency General, something is wrong, according to the scout's report, Shouyang County has been surrounded by the Dragon's Tooth Column on all sides a few hours ago, and now, the Zhina Army besieging the city has been divided into two routes, and continues to besiege the remnants of the imperial army in Shouyang all the way.

The other way bypassed Shouyang City and went straight to Taiyuan, and our plan to delay time at the expense of the defenders of Shouyang has been a complete failure. ”

Aoji Kazuki's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he said with a shocked face: "Nani? How so? Damn it! Aren't our 6,000 defenders in Shouyang going to die in vain? ”

Hashimoto-kun lowered his head and was silent with a miserable face, only to see Xiangyue Qingji suddenly said with a hideous face: "No, we must not let them sacrifice in vain, Hashimoto-kun, you immediately ordered all the imperial soldiers in Shouyang County to immediately abandon the city and break through, and at any cost, withdraw to Taiyuan for me."

Now that the Zhina army has moved south to Taiyuan, it will only be a senseless sacrifice for them to stay in Shouyang. ”、

Hashimoto said with some concern: "But, Your Excellency Commander, have you ever thought about what if the army is ambushed on the way to break through the Shouyang defenders?" Isn't that a self-defeating trap? ”

Kazuki Qingji almost roared angrily, "That's enough, don't say it, do you want to let the thousands of imperial warriors in the city stay in the city and wait for death?" There is still a glimmer of life in the breakthrough, and there is only one way to stay if you continue to stay! ”、

Seeing that Kazuki Qingji was really angry, Hashimoto nodded silently and said no more. In fact, he can also understand the mood of Xiangyue Qingji at this moment, after all, the dragon tooth column is attacking in a big way, and the 108th, 109th divisions and other troops have not yet withdrawn.

Taiyuan City is in danger, how can he, the commander of the First Army, concurrently serve as the commander of the Taiyuan garrison, not be anxious and angry?

Hashimoto bowed his head and said yes, then turned around and was ordered to leave.

……

After receiving the telegram order from the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, the devils who were still resisting stubbornly in Shouyang City suddenly further shrank their forces, and then quietly gathered their forces in the south of the city.

Suddenly launched a counterattack on the troops of the Dragon's Tooth Column, which had already entered the city and served as a blockade.

After receiving the report of the devil's counterattack, Zhao Youde ordered the troops to resist and intercept a little according to Qiao Youhua's instructions before leaving, and then let the devil out of the city.

After the devil left the city, he mobilized the strength of a class A infantry regiment to intercept outside the city, and after a bloody battle, the devil who went out of the city lost more than 1,000 troops.

The remaining more than 2,000 people were hastily withdrawn.

While arranging for the troops to enter the city, sweeping away the remnants of the enemy that may be in the city, and controlling the whole city of Shouyang, Zhao Youde personally led two regiments of troops and took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill the devil deserters.

At the same time, he did not forget to inform Qiao Youhua of the situation.

After receiving the order, Qiao Youhua, who was leading the main force to march towards Taiyuan, immediately instructed Zheng Yunshan, who was accompanying him: "Immediately order the cavalry reconnaissance battalion to act according to the original plan." ”

"Yes. I'll go and inform them right away. Zheng Yunshan answered, and immediately turned the horse's head and rushed back.

Thirty miles south of Shouyang, there is a river called Fenyang River, which is a tributary of Fenshui, about ten meters wide and three meters deep, and the banks of the river are covered with all kinds of unknown wild grasses.

At this time, the thousands of cavalry soldiers of the cavalry reconnaissance battalion, which had been arranged long ago, under the leadership of their battalion commander Zhao Tiezhu, were hiding among the reeds and barren grasses near the railway bridge on the north bank of the Fenyang River.

The railway bridge is built by the Zhengtai railway line, which is divided into road and railway, and is the traffic artery that must pass from Shouyang to Taiyuan.

Zhao Tiezhu chose the ambush location here, completely under Qiao Youhua's order, and now the nearly 3,000 Japanese troops who have retreated in Shouyang City, and there are thousands of dragon tooth columns behind them.

If they were to be suddenly attacked by a cavalry that had been recuperating for a long time, the result would have been predictable.

In addition to the necessary reconnaissance cavalry being released, Zhao Tiezhu and his nearly 1,000 cavalrymen all dismounted, and even the men and horses hid in the dense reeds and barren grass that could not be seen at a glance.

Beside Zhao Tiezhu, there was a cavalry company commander standing side by side, and in the long wait, the cavalry company commander was a little uncontrollable and said: "Battalion commander, if you want to say that this little devil in Shouyang is already a defeated deserter, and he is chased by the infantry behind him like a lost dog, why should we still wait here in ambush, why don't we directly lead the brothers to kill them, give them a head-on blow, and kill them all in one fell swoop?" ”

Zhao Tiezhu looked at his subordinate general, and said angrily: "You kid thinks things too simply, first of all, the enemy is far away from us now, and now we will rush all the way to the past, it is better to wait here for work, wait for the rabbit, it can save the body of people and horses, and then be able to kill the enemy better."

Second, if you look at the surrounding terrain, and then think about the surrounding terrain that we have walked all the way from Shouyang to the south, except for this river beach, it is all lofty mountains, deep mountains and old forests.

If we take the initiative to directly meet and intercept the devils, not only may we not be able to wipe out all of them, but we are likely to give the devils a chance to escape.

And here, a wilderness, when the time comes, we will block the bridge in front of the devil, and there will be the Fenyang River to block it, and there will be a large number of our pursuers behind, so it will really be impossible to escape! ”，
