In desperation, many puppet soldiers surrendered one after another in order to survive.

The Guard Regiment and the 3rd Brigade easily recovered Fucheng and Jingxian, destroying thousands of enemies. After the success, the two troops did not stop, and the guard regiment attacked Wu Bridge to the east.

The 3rd Brigade went directly north to attack Dongguang County.

When the puppet army of Wuqiao County was attacked in Jing County, they learned the news and accelerated their evacuation, and when Zheng Yunshan arrived with the guard regiment, the puppet army in the county had all escaped.

Zheng Yunshan easily recaptured Wuqiao, and then ordered his troops to continue the pursuit to the north, and after more than two hours, he joined Wu Ming's Third Brigade outside Dongguang County.

At this time, the puppet army that fled to Dongguang County from other places, plus the original defenders, the total number had exceeded 30,000.

The entire county is full of panicked and panicked puppet troops, facing the tens of thousands of dragon tooth columns that surround them outside the city,

The leaders of the puppet army constantly sent telegrams to the Japanese army in Cangzhou asking for help.

Under the double pressure of the puppet army's urging and Tadajun's order, the 14th Division had no choice but to send two infantry wings out of the city and south for reinforcements.

The cavalry battalion of the tank regiment, which had been closely monitoring the movements of the Japanese army in Cangzhou with reconnaissance cavalry, discovered the movements of the 14th Division in time.

He immediately made a report to Liu Jianhua, who was leading a tank unit hidden in the woods more than 10 miles south of Cangxian County.

After Liu Jianhua learned the news, he discussed with Zhao Tiezhu, the deputy commander of the regiment: "It seems that the commander's worry has still happened, we can't let the Japanese troops in Cangzhou reach Nanpi along the way, and we have to give the Second Brigade some time to rest and repair the fortifications." ”

Zhao Tiezhu nodded and said, "I think so too, you can say what to do." ”

Liu Jianhua pondered for a while and said: "That's it, I'll take the tank battalion, you take the cavalry battalion, and we will immediately dispatch to give the little devil a head attack, and beat him first." ”

Zhao Tiezhu said: "No problem. ”

After discussing, the two immediately led the cavalry and tank men to quietly dispatch to intercept the devils on the road from Cangzhou to Nanpi.

The devils are also closely monitoring their movements, so not long after they left the woods where they were hiding, their whereabouts were discovered by the devil scouts.

The Japanese scouts hurriedly reported the situation. After receiving the notice, the two Japanese infantry wings that were marching to Nanpi immediately stopped their advance and requested reinforcements from the Cangzhou Division Headquarters.

In order to prevent the troops from being too small and vulnerable to defeat by the enemy. The 14th Division sent an infantry wing and a cavalry wing from within Cangzhou to reinforce it.

By the time this wave of reinforcements arrived, Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu had already engaged in an exchange of fire with the two previous Japanese infantry wings with tanks and cavalry.

The exchange of fire was carried out on the road, and the cavalry of the tank regiment, under the cover of the strong fire of the tank fighting vehicles, launched a series of charges against the devils.

In the face of the rampage, fire strafing and bombardment of eighteen steel monster-like No. 4 tank fighting vehicles, the only way for the devils to deal with it was to rely on their military trucks or side three-wheeled motorcycles to shoot completely.

Some devil grenadiers and artillery were also behind, rushing in time to reinforce them, but all the attacks had no effect on the steel behemoths, and the bullets and shells bounced off without exception.

Immediately, the on-board machine guns of the Dragon's Tooth Tank Corps gave the little devil the most fierce firepower to return fire, and the dense bullets splashed like water, and the devil's motorcycle and military truck were quickly hit with thousands of holes.

The ghost soldiers who relied on them to shoot were also shot, and they fell down screaming one after another.

The machine-gun fire continued, and some of the tank's gunners immediately took aim at the Devil military trucks and motorcycles that were in front of their path.

Several high-explosive grenades roared out one after another, and after hitting the target, a violent explosion occurred instantly, and thick black smoke and red flames intertwined with each other and rose into the sky.

The corpses of some devils who had long been beaten into a hornet's nest by machine gun bullets were blown up in all directions.

Not long after the fierce battle, the resistance of the Japanese army was crushed, and the cavalry and tank men took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, until the devils were bleeding and wounded everywhere.

The devil cavalry and infantry, who came from Cangzhou to reinforce later, saw that the situation was not good, and directly turned around and fled.

They are not equipped with anti-tank guns at all, and they are helpless in the face of the Dragon's Tooth Tank, which even the tank units of the Imperial Army cannot defeat, and no matter how much they rush up, it will be a dead end, and they will not be able to rescue the two wings that are being chased and killed.

So, it's better to run back quickly.

The vulnerability of the devil also exceeded Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu's expectations, and of course there was an indispensable factor in the morale of the division commander being killed.

Just as the two were about to lead their subordinates to continue the pursuit and defeat the two Japanese infantry in one fell swoop, a piercing engine roar was heard in the sky.

Liu Jianhua's face changed, "It's not good, it's a devil's plane." “

He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie inside the tank and ordered: "Immediately stop the pursuit and retreat to a safe area!" ”

This wave of devil planes, consisting of six fighters and five medium bombers, was sent by Tada Jun to deal with the tank units of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

After discovering the target, six Japanese Type 96 light fighters immediately swooped down from a high altitude like falcons and rushed straight at the Longya tank unit.

After receiving Liu Jianhua's order to retreat, all the vehicles stopped the pursuit one after another, and turned around one after another and began to retreat, but the speed of the tanks naturally could not catch up with the Japanese fighters who were traveling at speeds of up to two or three hundred kilometers per hour.

Liu Jianhua stood on the tank and found that the enemy plane was approaching, and calmly ordered: "Attention of all units, the enemy plane is coming, give me concentrated firepower, and immediately open fire to block it!" ”

A general-purpose machine gun specially designed for air defense on the eighteen tank trucks, under the control of the machine gunner, opened fire one after another in the direction where the enemy planes were flying.

Eighteen dazzling tongues of fire erupted one after another, and the six devil fighters who were about to dive and strafe were frightened, and they all made tumbling and moving movements to dodge.

Then they opened fire and returned fire.

For a while, the gunfire of various machine guns was loud, and a dense rain of bullets shuttled back and forth in the air, like a series of criss-crossing meteors.

Under the cover of machine-gun fire, the tank crews of the tank regiment turned around with all their might and quickly retreated, although the rapid movement affected the accuracy and failed to hit the enemy aircraft.

But it also caused great trouble for the Devil pilots, making it impossible for them to shoot accurately, so although the two sides exchanged fire, more bullets were fired in the air and on the ground.

In particular, the devil's machine gun strafing, hitting the ground, splashed up yellow smoke and dust, which looked amazing, and Liu Jianhua's tank unit walked through it, which looked very terrifying.
