With the coordination of a large number of dragon tooth infantry with the coordination of six tanks, they swarmed into the city from the south gate of Dingzhou, and the devils and remnants of the puppet army in the city knew that they were invincible, so they turned around and ran away.

However, before they could escape from the city, they found that the tanks of the Dragon's Tooth Column appeared outside the city, and their retreat had been completely blocked.

The chasing soldiers were approaching, and some devils who were unwilling to be captured brazenly went out of the city, wanting to break through, and the four tanks and chariots responsible for blocking and intercepting the devils outside each city gate opened fire one after another.

With only the powerful and dense firepower of the vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine gun, the devils and puppet soldiers who went out of the city were shot and killed one by one.

As the dragon tooth infantry and the tanks in the city pursued separately, under the front and rear attacks of the dragon tooth officers and soldiers, the devils and puppet troops in Dingzhou City were all wiped out, and no one escaped.

And just now, when Qiao Youhua saw that the overall situation in the city had been decided, he had already led the main force of the guard regiment and the anti-aircraft artillery unit to bypass Dingzhou City, and went all the way north along the Pinghan railway line, and went straight to Baoding.

After the battle was over, a battalion and tank unit attacking Dingzhou did not stop at all, and immediately went out of the city to chase Qiao Youhua and them.

"Yunshan, you send a telegram to Haidong and order him to send someone to take over the county seat of Dingzhou and collect the spoils of war, since Dingzhou has been recovered by us, the puppet army in Anguo and Quyang County is naturally vulnerable.

Sue him and Ma Yunlong, immediately dispatched cavalry to attack, and after taking the second place, they hurried to Baoding to meet us. On the way to Baoding, Qiao Youhua sat in a military truck, picked up the wireless walkie-talkie and said to Zheng Yunshan, the head of the guard regiment.

Zheng Yunshan's response soon came from the walkie-talkie: "Yes, commander!" ”

Then, Liu Jianhua's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie: "Commander, we're coming up." ”

"All the battles in Dingzhou City have been resolved?" Qiao Youhua asked with a walkie-talkie.

Liu Jianhua's voice was a little excited: "It's all solved, none of the devils and the two devils are left, and they are all eliminated by us, especially the little devils, who were crushed by our tank troops and have no corpses, it's really a pleasure!" ”

As the commander of the tank armored regiment, Liu Jianhua has handed over the cavalry battalion to the command of deputy regiment commander Zhao Tiezhu, and stayed behind to fight with the 1st brigade.

"Very good, speed up, we have to rush to Baoding as quickly as possible before the devil reacts, if we can take Baoding again, hum, then the devil's encirclement and suppression this time will be a big mess." Qiao Youhua said.

"Yes, don't worry, with our tank troops, we will definitely be able to tear apart the Japanese defense line in Baoding and defeat them in one fell swoop!" Liu Jianhua, who has already tasted the invincible sweetness brought by his own tank and armored forces, revealed absolute confidence in his words.

…………

The North China Front Headquarters, Motomo Sugiyama and Shozo Kawabe, had just finished their discussions with Kenji Dohihara, Tsukada Tsukasa, and others, because they all knew that no amount of discussion would be of any help until the main forces of the 8th and 14th Divisions arrived.

The 1st Division and the 26th Division had already departed, and the 3rd Air Corps and fighter planes had been dispatched to the Dingzhou area, ready to do everything possible to provide support to the Dingzhou garrison.

As soon as Tsukada and Kenji Dohihara and the others left, the messenger who had brought the bad news of the attack on Dingzhou went back again, and saluted Sugiyama and the others: "Your Excellency the commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, something is wrong, I just received a farewell message from Jiro Koizumi, a signal soldier of the Dingzhou garrison.

The telegram said that the defense line and the city defense outside Dingzhou had been broken by the Chinese army, the enemy's tanks and infantry had entered the city, and the entire Dingzhou city was also surrounded by the Chinese army, and there were powerful Chinese tanks inside and outside the city.

The Dingzhou garrison failed to break through and was already determined to fight until the last moment, and just before the last telegram was sent, the infantry of the Shina Army had already attacked the outside of the garrison's headquarters in the city.

Now that we have lost contact with the Dingzhou garrison, it seems that they have all been broken and sacrificed their lives for the Empire. ”

Sugiyama Mototo and Kawabe Shozo couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this, so to speak, Dingzhou had been captured by Qiao Youhua's troops, and it had only been an hour or two at most since they were discovered.

Isamu Yokoyama's 1st Division may not even be out of Beiping's sphere of influence at this moment, and the opponent's ability to attack the fortifications is so strong.

Even if the 1st Division was stationed in Baoding at that time, it might not be too late to reinforce it, right?

Just when the two of them were shocked, another signal soldier hurriedly ran over, saluted them first, and said: "Two commanders, the reconnaissance plane of the 3rd Air Regiment has sent news that they have flown to the airspace south of Baoding, but along the railway line, they have found a suspicious troop, which is marching in the direction of Baoding!" ”

Hearing this, Kawabe Shozo's face changed dramatically: "Not good! It must be Qiao Youhua's dragon tooth column, they want to take advantage of the situation to attack Baoding! ”

Sugiyama Motoya said with a solemn expression: "Hebian-kun, we must find a way to stop them, and we must not let Baoding fall into the hands of the dragon's tooth column, otherwise the situation will become very unfavorable for us, and this encirclement and suppression will be even more difficult." ”

The two old devils were very anxious in their hearts, judging from the results of the battle of Dingzhou, the ability of the Longya Column to attack the fortification was too strong, even if the defenders of Baoding were several times as many as Dingzhou, Hebian Zhengsan and Sugiyama Yuan were not sure whether the Baoding garrison could block the onslaught of the Longya Column and hold on until the reinforcements of the 1st Division and the 26th Division arrived.

In a hurry, Hebe Zhengsan took the lead in front of the battle map and said to Sugiyama Yuan: "Your Excellency General, the only way to do this now is to immediately transfer all the imperial troops and imperial army garrisons around Baoding, such as Wangdu County, Tang County, Shunping County, Qingfan County, Xushui County, Gaoyang County, Rongcheng County, and Anxin County.

Hurry to Baoding to strengthen the garrison in Baoding, and at the same time, order the Baoding garrison and its southwest, southeast and southeast Tang County, Wangdu County, Shunping County, Qingfan County four lines are equipped with elite troops, stationed in the last barrier south of Baoding, Ranzhuang Town!

Organize a defense here, and stop the Dragon's Tooth Column from continuing northward at any cost! Hold on to help! ”

Sugiyama Moto looked at the map and expressed satisfaction with the arrangement made by Shozo Kawabe in a hurry, and immediately turned to the two communication personnel and ordered: "Do what the chief of staff of the river said immediately, and immediately generate electricity!" ”

PS: There is no monthly pass today, and the book behind me is very anxious, and my heart is congested! Crying for fire support from the brothers!!
