Qiao Youhua, Liu Jianhua and others were all taken aback, and after the cavalry battalion guards outside found out that the person who came was their own, they did not stop him, let him ride his horse straight into the town, and came to Qiao Youhua and them.

The cavalry didn't have time to dismount, and saw Qiao Youhua in the light of the torches, and hurriedly spoke: "Commander, battalion commander, a large number of devils are rushing along the path in the direction of Luquan, and it seems that they are planning to attack Luquan County. ”

Qiao Youhua's expression changed and he glanced at Liu Jianhua, and Liu Jianhua asked the cavalryman: "Is the intelligence accurate?" ”

The cavalry had already jumped off their horses and said, "It's true. ”

"How many devils are there?" Liu Jianhua asked again.

"There should be about 1,500 to 2,000 troops, and they didn't have torches, and I and two other brothers happened to find them." The cavalry turned his head to look behind him and said, "Tigers, they haven't come back, shouldn't they have been poisoned by devils?" ”

Liu Jianhua turned his head to look at Qiao Youhua, Qiao Youhua thought for a while, stepped forward and patted the cavalry soldier on the shoulder and encouraged: "You have done a good job, you have made great contributions, saved the lives of countless people, stay and rest, and when this battle is over, the headquarters will give you a reward."

The other two warriors haven't come back yet, and their fate is uncertain, so you don't have to worry too much, maybe they're safe. ”

The cavalry soldier nodded movingly, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Commander, I'm not tired, please allow me to participate in the next battle, I want to fight side by side with my brothers." ”

Qiao Youhua glanced at him approvingly, nodded and said, "Very good, let's join the ranks, let's set off immediately to intercept this devil's sneak attack force!" ”

Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu and all the cavalry soldiers around them agreed one after another.

Before leaving, Qiao Youhua ordered someone to bring the battle map, turned on the flashlight and read it, and finally finalized a suitable ambush location, and after telling Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu and other officers, he took them from Erdaogouzi and went straight to the destination.

At the same time, he also used the radio to send a telegram to Guo Meng and the regiments outside the city in Shimen City, instructing them to take strict precautions to prevent devils from sneaking up on them at night.

…………

It was a cold winter, there was no sun shining in the middle of the night, the temperature was lower, walking on the road leading to Luquan County, although Kobayashi Shaozuo wore a lot of clothes, but he was still shivering by the cold night wind, and the feeling of being cold to the bone marrow made him very uncomfortable.

I had to stop in a hurry, asked the adjutant for spirits, and poured a sip of it before smashing it and smacking my lips: "It's so cold, damn weather, damn place!" ”

The adjutant put away the water bag containing the wine and said with a smile: "Sir, compared to Kyushu Island and Hokkaido, it's really not cold." ”

Kobayashi Shaozo looked at him and asked, "Kuramme-kun, if I'm not mistaken, you should be from Kyushu Island, and you've also been to Hokkaido?" ”

Adjutant Kurame smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, my wife is from Hokkaido, so I've been there a few times, and it's colder than Kyushu Island." ”

"Oh, no wonder, but you are also capable of marrying a wife in Hokkaido, I heard that the women there are very beautiful, especially the skin is as white as Hokkaido snowflakes!" Kobayashi Shaozuo said with a yearning smile.

Adjutant Kurame naturally didn't want to discuss too much with him on the issue of whether his wife's skin was white, so he smiled dryly, and opened the topic: "Sir, when we capture Luquan County, I will definitely help you search for a few beautiful Chinese flower girls, so that you can have a good time." ”

"Yo Xi, that's a pretty good idea." Kobayashi Shaozuo laughed heartily and said, "Take the map and see where we are now, and how long it will take to get to Luquan." ”

"Hay!" Adjutant Kurame hurriedly bowed his head and took out a combat map and a flashlight from the marching bag he was carrying.

After opening the map and flashlight and looking at it for a while, Kobayashi Shaozuo realized that he didn't know where his team was at all, and immediately said to Adjutant Kurame: "Go and bring me the Imperial Cooperative Army that led the way." ”

"Hay." The adjutant Kurame hurriedly ran away to lead the order, and it didn't take long for him to run back with a roe deer-headed traitor.

When the dog traitor saw Xiaolin Shaozuo, he hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "Taijun, you called me?" ”

Xiao Lin Shaozuo pointed to the map with a dark face and said, "You drop, come and see, where we are now, and how far we are from Lingshou County." ”

The dog traitor hurriedly bowed his head in response, came up, looked at the map for a while, and then said respectfully: "Taijun, if the little one remembers correctly, we should go to the Xishan area now, as long as we pass the mountains and forests in front of us, and walk another twenty or thirty miles, we will reach Luquan."

At the speed of the Imperial Army, three hours at most. ”

"Three hours, Yo Xi, it happened to be late at night, the Luquan garrison was at its most tired, vigilant and lax, we suddenly launched an attack, and we will be able to easily seize the county seat!" Kobayashi Shaozuo said with satisfaction, as if he had seen the happy scene of leading his troops to break through the city defense of Luquan County, killing people and setting fire to the city, and robbing the flower girl.

It's just that Xiaolin Shaozuo ignored the dog traitor who said that there is a mountain forest not far ahead, the so-called West Mountain, located in the east of Luquan to Shimen, is the remaining vein of Taihang Mountain, and it is the barrier of Luquan County in the east.

If the Japanese puppet army wanted to bypass Shimen and attack Luquan, except for Erdaogouzi and Magou Town, two towns garrisoned by dragon tooth columns, there was only this small road they searched out in Xishan.

When Qiao Youhua learned of their intentions, he immediately found the most suitable ambush location in Xishan on the map, and used the cavalry battalion's mobility ability to be much faster than the devil's infantry, and quickly rushed to the Xishan mountain forest before the devil arrived, and set up an ambush circle, which would be waiting for the little devil to drill inside.

After about ten minutes, Kobayashi Shaozuo took more than 2,000 little devils, led by the dog traitor, and finally entered the mountain path of Xishan, although this path is not very rugged, but it is very narrow.

There were trees and stones on both sides of the road, which was very good for hiding his whereabouts, and even though it was night, Kobayashi still felt uneasy.

He turned on the flashlight and shone it on both sides, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and said: "Order the troops, quickly drip through guò, the terrain here is too unfavorable for marching." ”

The adjutant took the order, and the dog traitor came over and said as if flatteringly: "Taijun, don't worry too much, it is impossible for our whereabouts of the Dragon Tooth Column to know, and it is naturally safe here!" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as the dog traitor's voice fell, a piercing gunshot suddenly rang out, and the dog traitor felt a meteor flying in front of his eyes, and then he heard a pop.

Following the prestige, I saw that Kobayashi Shaozuo, who was standing in front of him, had fallen straight down. Before he could react, countless dazzling tongues of fire suddenly appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests, which were originally pitch black and silent, and the dense gunshots resounded through the mountains and forests, which were particularly piercing in the dark night.
