Soon, more and more puppet soldiers, prompted by the instinct to survive, began to chant slogans of willingness to surrender.

After making sure that there was no blocking fire from the puppet army's position, the dragon tooth cavalry who were galloping on their horses also stopped firing, put away their submachine guns, and drew their sabers.

When running to the first trench of the puppet army, they crossed directly on horseback, and everyone maintained a high degree of vigilance, as long as there was any movement of the puppet army in the trench, they would not hesitate to swing the saber in their hands down.

Fortunately, the puppet soldiers were really frightened and surrendered sincerely, until Qiao Youhua and others led the cavalry battalion to swarm over, and there was no abnormal situation.

The cavalry directly passed through the attack positions of the puppet army and continued to pursue in the direction of Luancheng Town.

The puppet soldiers who were about to surrender found that the cavalry did not pay attention to them, and gradually moved away, and just wanted to get up from the trenches to find out, when suddenly another wave of dragon-tooth infantry roared and roared.

Zheng Yunshan arrived with the guard battalion, followed the cavalry battalion into the position of the puppet army, and found the black pressure squatting in the trench to suppress a puppet army.

"What's going on?" Zheng Yunshan asked a little puzzled.

A small leader of the puppet army replied with courage: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, we are all willing to surrender, please don't shoot." ”

"Surrendered?" Zheng Yunshan suddenly realized.

A company commander came up with a submachine gun and asked in a low voice, "Battalion commander, what should we do?" ”

Zheng Yunshan looked at his own cavalry, which had disappeared into the night in front of him, and said, "Forget it, regardless of these prisoners, let's continue to assault, find a way to keep up with the cavalry battalion, receive the prisoners, and hand them over to the troops behind." ”

"Yes!" The company commander suddenly agreed, and immediately conveyed Zheng Yunshan's order.

Scattered all over the position of the puppet army, the soldiers of the guard battalion guarding the prisoners immediately assembled, and under the leadership of Zheng Yunshan, they also followed the example of the cavalry battalion, passed through the position of the puppet army, and continued to advance eastward.

The puppet army was completely dumbfounded, what kind of troops is this? Don't take us too seriously? Anyway, we are also prisoners who are willing to surrender, why is there no one to care about it?

However, dumbfounded, the puppet army did not dare to make any move to escape, after all, the earth-shattering shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, indicating that more dragon tooth troops were coming quickly.

The ensuing facts made the puppet army captives who stayed in the trenches honestly, waiting for the main force of the Dragon's Tooth Column to come and receive them, shouted for joy.

Ma Biao and Wu Ming's two supplemented main regiments, nearly 20,000 troops, swarmed in a mighty swarm, almost instantly submerging the entire Japanese puppet army's sortie position.

Thousands of puppet army prisoners were easily taken in and guarded by them, and then even people with guns became trophies and were escorted to Shimen.

Wu Ming and Ma Biao only arranged a small part of the troops to do these tasks, and the main force continued to follow the cavalry battalion, and after the guard battalion, they rushed to Luancheng, Xinji, Jinzhou and other places.

Qiao Youhua rode in front, and behind him were hundreds of heavily armed cavalry battalion soldiers, and suddenly, Liu Jianhua urged the horse to catch up with him.

Going hand in hand with him, Liu Jianhua said: "Commander, it seems that the devil has been prepared for a long time, should we change the counteroffensive strategy?" ”

Qiao Youhua nodded and said: "I also have this intention, so let's do it, we don't have to worry about the three small places of Luancheng, Xinji, and Jinzhou, send a telegram to notify the guard battalion and the artillery battalion, immediately separate, bypass these three places, and go directly to Hengshui with the cavalry battalion."

The above three towns were handed over to the second regiment to attack! The Third Regiment also took a circuitous route and was ready to support us in the battle. ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianhua responded with a bang, immediately reduced the speed of the war horse, fell behind, and conveyed Qiao Youhua's order to the communication soldiers.

…………

In Hengshui City, Sakai Ritsuzo and his officers had withdrawn to the city and re-established their headquarters.

The main force of more than 6,000 Japanese troops withdrawn from the direction of Dingzhou also divided their troops to garrison Raoyang, Anping, Hengshui and other places in accordance with the order of Sakai Tatsuzo.

With the addition of more than 1,000 defenders before Hengshui City, the Japanese army now has more than 3,000 troops in Hengshui.

In the headquarters, Sakai Ritsuzo had just arranged the defense of Hengshui and its surroundings, dismissed a few officers who were attending the meeting, and a signal soldier hurriedly ran in.

With a piece of telegraphic paper in his hand, he saluted Sakai Rizo and reported: "Your Excellency General, the Imperial Association Army has called to say that the Shimen's Zhina Dragon Tooth Column suddenly took the initiative to attack and launched a counterattack against them, easily breaking through the resistance of the troops behind the Imperial Association Army.

At present, its troops have been directed at Luancheng, Xinji, and Jinzhou! The Imperial Allied Army is unstable and the situation is very critical, so please ask Your Excellency the General for urgent tactical guidance and send reinforcements. ”

After hearing this, Sakai Ritsuzo was furious: "Baga Yalu, these stupid China pigs, they are really unreliable, so many troops can't even stop the Dragon Tooth Column for a night!" Call them back, the imperial army will build a strong defense line on the front line of Hengshui, Raoyang, and Anping.

Order them to hold Luancheng, Xinji, Jincheng and other places! No retreat without an order! You have to buy enough time for the Imperial Army, or you'll all die! Reinforcements! No drip work! ”

"Hay!" Although the communication soldier also felt that Sakai Tatsuzo's arrangement and reply were a little inappropriate, he did not dare to go against the will of Sakai Tatsuzo, who was in anger, so he hurriedly bowed his head and responded.

Sakai Ritsuzo had his own plans, because in this encirclement and suppression battle, these large Imperial Allied troops were extremely bad, leaving an extremely bad impression on him.

He felt that the 100,000 Imperial Allied Army was not as good as the Imperial Japanese Army with less than 10,000 men under his command, and its combat power was stronger.

Therefore, it is necessary to take a defensive position anyway, so let these imperial alliance troops fight with the dragon tooth column, dog eats dog, and both sides are defeated, which is more conducive to the imperial army's persistence in Hengshui and other places.

It can also save a lot of unnecessary food, ammunition, and military salaries for the North China Front in the future.

The idea was good for the Japanese army, but Sakai Tatsuzo forgot that the puppet army that had lost the support and intimidation of the Japanese army absolutely lacked the courage and strength to fight to the death with the Dragon's Tooth Column.

In the puppet army's heart, even the imperial army was defeated by the dragon's tooth column, and they ran away first, what else did they have to fight? It's better to surrender directly.

What's more, the policy of the Dragon's Tooth Column this time was originally to distinguish and replace the Japanese puppet army, and the puppet army surrendered its guns and did not kill them, and the Japanese army was all killed.

So, a few days later, Sakai Tatsuzo paid an extremely heavy price for his stupid decision!
