Qiao Youhua noticed something and suddenly turned around, but the young female student was also very vigilant, and quickly withdrew her gaze and slowly left with the crowd.

Over there, Guo Meng turned his head and saw Qiao Youhua standing face to face with Tanasha's little French girl, and suddenly became angry and walked over quickly.

said to Qiao Youhua: "The head of the regiment informs me that I have some things to discuss with you, please come with me." ”

With that, he ignored Tanasha and turned to leave.

Qiao Youhua smiled apologetically at Tanasha, and had to leave with the imposing Political Commissar Guo, and when he came to a place where there was no one on the side, Guo Mengcai crossed his waist with one hand and said, "Comrade Regiment Commander, I have warned you repeatedly!" Pay attention to your personal style and don't mess with the relationship between men and women, which will affect your joining the party! ”

"Oh, by the way, I suddenly have a little stomach ache, go to the thatched house first, and then see Political Commissar Guo, you go get busy first, and we'll discuss this issue when we have time." Qiao Youhua suddenly covered his stomach with a painful face, turned around and ran.

stomped Guo Meng's feet angrily, but he was helpless.

…………

In the port of Tianjin, a large number of Japanese transport ships, escorted by a group of warships, slowly sailed into the port wharf, and groups of Japanese troops walked down from the ships in batches and landed on Chinese soil.

This group of Japanese troops is none other than the 21st Division, which has just been formed in the Japanese base camp on the mainland not long ago.

They first took a train to Beiping, then changed to the Pinghan Railway to Baoding, and then transferred to the Zhengtai Railway to rush to their destination Shimen.

…………

Another four or five days passed, and Qiao Youhua received news that Billy Lavis and Wan Hu had finally escorted the last batch of equipment and materials and arrived again, and it was expected that they would be able to enter the Hutuo River tonight.

asked Qiao Youhua to be ready to respond.

Qiao Youhua immediately ordered the three battalions in Zhengding County to prepare to respond, but he didn't go, because with the experience of the last time, Wu Ming knew how to do it, Qiao Youhua was busy drawing pictures during this time, and he felt a little exhausted.

Qiao Youhua didn't want to be Zhuge Liang, he bowed to everything, and finally died before he got out of school.

However, just in case, Qiao Youhua still asked Luquan's second battalion to dispatch again to respond.

After Wu Ming and Ma Biao received the order, they acted separately, and unfortunately, the military column of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army also arrived at Shimen on this day, although the 21st Division was a three-unit wing.

However, the three main infantry wings together also have tens of thousands of combat troops, plus the four wings of artillery, baggage, cavalry, and engineers, with a total strength of nearly 20,000 people.

With so many troops, it is naturally impossible for the devils to be stationed in a small Shimen county, and the commander of the 21st Division, Lieutenant General Sakai Chihei, who had been ordered to replace Wuchun Watanabe as the new garrison commander in the Shimen area, ordered Wuchun Watanabe to lead his garrison brigade of more than 1,000 people to withdraw from Shimen County.

Coincidentally, the old devil Wuchun Watanabe was sent to the northwest of Shimen to reoccupy the area from Shimen to Hutuo River.

The 21st Division arrived at Shimen in the afternoon, so Wuchun Watanabe received an order to withdraw from Shimen County with his troops, and when he arrived at the south bank of the Shimen section of the Hutuo River, it was already evening.

At this time, Wan Hu and Billy Lavis and their fleets had already taken advantage of the Hutuo River, Wu Ming and Zhao Youde led three battalions of officers and soldiers, and the troops were divided into two routes, intending to follow the example of the last time along the banks of the Hutuo River.

So it was inevitable to meet head-on with a small vigilance force of Wuchun Watanabe's garrison brigade, and it was Wu Ming who led the team on the south bank, and he immediately commanded the troops to defeat these dozens of devils.

But as soon as the gunshots rang out, Wu Chun Watanabe's side had already learned of the situation, and quickly led the main force of the garrison brigade to help, Wu Ming had less than half a battalion of troops around him, and many of them were recruits who had just completed basic training.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, the Japanese army had the upper hand, but Wuchun Watanabe had already been frightened by the Dragon Tooth Task Force, and although the troops under his command fought very smoothly, they did not take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, because he was afraid that this was a trick of the Chinese army to lure the enemy and a trap.

Only then did the fiasco of the three battalions led by Wu Ming be avoided.

While actively organizing defense and vigilance, Takejun Watanabe sent someone to report the situation to Chihei Sakai.

At this moment, Ma Biao and Zhou Dasheng did the same, leading the officers and soldiers of the second battalion to set off from Wharf Town and Erdaogouzi to make a feint attack in the direction of Shimen.

It happened to meet the troops sent by Chihei Sakai head-on, and the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire in the wilderness south and east of Shimen, unlike the troops of Mujun Watanabe.

The devils of the 21st Division belong to newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, they have not fought with Qiao Youhua's troops, so they are not afraid of them, their combat effectiveness can be 100% played, and they have an absolute advantage in troops.

After half an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, Sakai Qianping, who was sitting in Shimen County, sent 2,000 Japanese troops out of the city to support, but Ma Biao and Zhou Dasheng were insufficient and were repulsed by the Japanese army, so they had to fight and retreat to Erdaogouzi and Magou Town.

Fortunately, with their familiarity with the terrain and the cover of darkness, the troops were able to withdraw to the two towns along the way, and if it was daytime, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After repelling the two units of the 2nd Battalion of the Dragon's Tooth, Chihei Sakai immediately mobilized the strength of a wing and a dozen tanks and chariots to rush to the aid of Wuchun Watanabe's department.

After receiving reinforcements, Wuchun Watanabe began to command the troops to attack, and the south bank of the Hutuo River once again resounded with dense gunfire and explosions, and the scorching tongues of fire could be seen everywhere in the night, like meteors.

Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the devils continued to advance, and the hundreds of remnants in Wu Ming's hands could not resist the defeat, and the role that the recruits could play in this kind of battle was too small.

As a last resort, Wu Ming had to organize some veterans to desperately block the Japanese army, so that most of the soldiers withdrew to the north bank by boat, and Zhao Youde on the north bank also organized some artillery to respond.

THE JAPANESE TANKS AND ARTILLERY QUICKLY BEGAN TO TURN THE MUZZLE OF THE GUN, AND THE TWO SIDES BEGAN AN ARTILLERY BATTLE ACROSS THE RIVER, THE SECOND BATTALION WAS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH SOME 60MM MORTARS, WHICH WERE NATURALLY NOT THE OPPONENTS OF THE JAPANESE ARMY.

The most fortunate thing is that Wan Hu and Billy Lavis, who had already entered the Shimen section of the Hutuo River, found that there was a fierce exchange of fire ahead, and promptly ordered the fleet to stop its advance, and retreated to a safe place, hiding in a dense field of reeds and aquatic plants.

Wu Ming, Ma Biao and Wan Hu sent telegrams to Qiao Youhua asking for help.
