Two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and under the command of Guo Meng and others, with the coordination of tens of thousands of garrisons and militia units from all over the country, the first batch of more than 100,000 people who have migrated over have begun to leave their temporary places of residence and embark on the way home.

At the same time, on the Japanese side, the riverside wild Dazuo also quietly rushed to Baoding County with his more than 500 elite special combat personnel.

The devil defenders in Baoding had already been instructed by the front army headquarters to do their best to provide all kinds of help and support to the riverside wilderness department, especially in intelligence.

However, in order to ensure the victory of one blow, he only rested for one night in Baoding, and the wild by the river decided to go to the front line of Ranzhuang in disguise to reconnoiter on the spot.

In order to conceal his whereabouts and not cause unnecessary trouble, in addition to a subordinate with good skills, Hebian Ye only brought a hardcore traitor who was familiar with the terrain of Ranzhuang Town as a guide.

The three of them dressed up as ordinary people, traveled all the way south, and soon entered the range of Ranzhuang Town, and then transformed into Orion Mountain Folk who went into the mountains to cut firewood and hunt.

Reconnaissance of the periphery was carried out around the town of Ranzhuang, especially in the western mountain forest area.

Riverside Wild is an old devil who is proficient in special warfare, and he is very cunning, so the defenders of Ranzhuang Town did not find these three enemies with bad intentions.

After the night fell, the three wild people by the river lurked in a woods less than three kilometers away from Ranzhuang, lying in the grass and the three of them simply ate some dry food, and the wild people by the river unscrewed the kettle and drank a few sips, and said to the two: "Have you eaten well?" After eating, I will go to Ranzhuang Town with me to reconnoiter the nearest area. ”

The accompanying devil special combat team members had no objections, but the hardcore traitor who was familiar with the geographical environment of Ranzhuang Town was a little timid, he had participated in the Battle of Dingzhou before and had learned the power of the Dragon Tooth Column.

So trembling to the riverside wild said: "Riverside Taijun, Ranzhuang Town, let's not get too close, you don't know, this dragon tooth column is difficult to deal with, the last battle of Dingzhou, annihilated our tens of thousands of imperial troops, the imperial army also suffered heavy losses, almost lost Baoding." ”

The devil special combat team member was immediately dissatisfied, and shouted: "Baga, you coward, if you dare to say these frustrating words again, you will die!" ”

Riverside Ye waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to get excited, looked at the hardcore traitor, and said with a smile: "Lin Sang, do you think the dragon tooth column is terrible?" ”

The hardcore traitor surnamed Lin nodded at first, but when he noticed the eyes of another devil who could almost kill, he quickly shook his head again.

The wild man by the river didn't bother with him, but looked up at Ran Zhuang Town, who was outside the woods and occasionally had lights flickering, and said: "Tomorrow, I will let you see that in fact, the Dragon Tooth Column is not invincible, and under the assault of the Imperial Army's special combat team, they will die a miserable death!" ”

This hardcore traitor named Lin Dabao didn't know how to answer, although he felt that this riverside Taijun was a little too arrogant and arrogant, but on the surface, he still nodded hurriedly and complimented: "The riverside Taijun is mighty, and he will definitely be able to win, and the dragon's tooth column killed will be bloody, and the corpses will be everywhere." ”

Hebian Ye was obviously not disgusted with the horses, and patted Lin Dabao on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, Lin Sang, you wait for us here, we will come when we go." ”

Lin Dabao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately nodded: "Hai, please rest assured, the little one will definitely let off the wind for you here, waiting for the safe return of the two Taijun." ”

The wild man by the river left the kettle, only brought a gun and a dagger, and then left the woods with the devil special combat team who despised Lin Dabao very much, and the two of them were agile, and soon left the woods, and quietly approached Ranzhuang Town under the cover of night.

The main defense points of Ranzhuang Town, are at the north entrance of the town, here, the railway line passes through the town, the original outside the town devils and puppet army built the bunker turret destroyed in the war, although this dragon tooth defender stationed, began to organize manpower to carry out emergency repairs, but it has not yet been completed.

However, around these unfinished and ruined pillboxes and turrets, the fortifications of several ring trenches have been completed first.

Due to the lack of fighting, the defenders of the town did not have many troops in the trenches, and there were only a few symbolic platoons stationed in the positions outside the town, in addition to a number of patrols on a squad basis, constantly patrolling the entire town.

The wild two by the river crept to about 300 meters northwest of the town, and then the two crawled forward until they approached about 100 meters where the patrol of the Dragon's Tooth Column had passed.

The two remained motionless here for more than two hours, until they figured out the rules of the activities of the patrol of the Dragon's Tooth Column and the lax guard of Ranzhuang Town, and then quietly withdrew back through the night.

At dawn, the three wild people by the river had already returned to Baoding, and the deputy captain of the special combat team, Hatoyama Akira, greeted him and asked, "Sir, how was the harvest of this trip?" ”

Riverside Ye ripped off the folk clothes he hated on his body, and said, "I basically know the situation of the defenders, and we can act tonight." ”

"Oh? Is it? How are they garrisoned? Hatoyama asked, a little surprised.

"Very lax, absolutely vulnerable!" Before the wild man by the river could speak, the devil who went with him spoke first.

Riverside Wild nodded: "That's right, their guards are indeed very lax, and if nothing happens, we can succeed in one fell swoop tonight." ”

"It seems that the Dragon's Tooth Column is not as mysterious and powerful as the legend says." Hatoyama Akimichi.

Riverside Ye said: "It's not that they are not powerful enough, it should be that the continuous victories have fueled their paralysis, if it weren't for our arrival, the general imperial army troops would really not dare to attack them at night!" ”

Hatoyama snorted coldly: "This time, we not only want to teach the Dragon Tooth Column a lesson, but also show those frightened imperial army troops that they are vulnerable to a powerful enemy and our special combat team!" We, the Imperial Japanese Army, are invincible. ”

"Alright, let's get ready, we need to go and get some rest, leave on time at six o'clock in the afternoon, and launch a night attack before twelve o'clock in the evening!" Riverside Wild Trail.

"Hay!" Hatoyama Akira and the other devils bowed their heads in response, and then each took their orders and left.

The time of the day passed quietly, and near six o'clock in the afternoon, the riverside wild who had slept for most of the day woke up, washed up energetically, and walked out of the temporary accommodation arranged for him by the defenders of Baoding.

Adjutant Hatoyama Ming had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw him appear, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Sir, the special combat team has all been assembled, and it is ready to go at any time!" ”

Riverside Wild nodded and said, "Yo Xi, let's go." ”

At this moment, a Japanese-style side three-wheeled motorcycle came speeding from a distance, and sitting in the side bucket was a Japanese major general officer.

This person is none other than Major General Nakakurume, chief of staff of the 1st Division, who is now temporarily acting as the commander of the 1st Division, and concurrently serves as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese puppet army in the Baoding area, with full responsibility for the defense of the Baoding area.

He knew a thing or two about the plans of the riverside wild, and when he got the news that they were about to make a move in the evening, Nakakurume immediately rushed to see them off in person.

Seeing this, the wild by the river hurriedly stepped forward, came to Nakakurume and took the initiative to salute: "Your Excellency General." ”

Nakakurume pressed the general's knife on his waist with one hand, and returned the salute with the other: "Riverside-kun, I didn't mean anything else, I just heard that you were going to start acting, and I came to see you off, I hope you can win and return triumphantly!" ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, General, I will definitely go all out to regain the honor and dignity that belong to us for the imperial army!" Riverside Wild Orthodox Road.

"Hebian-kun, I see that your special combat team has less than one brigade of troops, is it too small, do you need me to add some soldiers to you?" Nakakurume was not very optimistic about the so-called special operations force of the riverside wild.

In his opinion, nearly 100,000 imperial troops have failed to achieve victory, and what chance can this so-called special combat team of more than 500 people have in the wild side of the river to win? Most of them have gone and never returned.

Therefore, his words are only symbolic politeness.

Riverside Ye hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency General, no need, this operation is a surprise operation of a small force, and too many people are not conducive to the operation." ”

Hearing what the riverside wild said, Nakakurume just got off the donkey, nodded pretending and said: "In that case, then Hebian-kun, you should set off quickly, I will set up a celebration banquet for you and your special combat team in Baoding, waiting for you to come back to celebrate!" ”

The riverside wild did not be modest, but said: "General, please rest assured, before dawn tomorrow, we will definitely come back with victory." ”

After speaking, the riverside wild said to Hatoyama: "Order to go!" ”

"Hay!" Hatoyama immediately bowed his head, turned around and took the order to leave.

The commander of this battalion stationed in Ranzhuang Town is a deputy battalion commander of the First Regiment, named Zhao Erniu, who is now officially appointed by Liu Yidao as the commander of the Ranzhuang garrison battalion.

Like his deputy battalion commander and good brother Zhao Dali, both of them are from Zhaojiabao Village, Pingshan County, and they were originally absenteeism in the No. 4 Coal Mine in Pingshan County, and they were in the rescue operation commanded by Qiao Youhua.

The two of them were rescued by Sun Dahai, the general of the Dragon Tooth Column, who had already died, and since then they have joined the Dragon Tooth Column.

So far, he has participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and has grown from an ordinary soldier to two battalion commanders.

In addition to their rich combat experience, the two also joined the crash course of the Dragon Tooth Military Academy founded by Qiao Youhua and studied in it for three months.

Since after arriving in Ranzhuang, both of them devoted their main energy to building and improving fortifications, so they were a little negligent in their preparedness, of course, this was for the special operations troops.

For the ordinary Japanese puppet army, the deployment and arrangement of the two of them are still effective.

It's just that the opponent who came this time is not an ordinary devil, and the two are destined to suffer a big loss.
