Qiao Youhua traveled lightly and simply, from Pingshan County to Lingshou County in half a day, and secretly let a group of arranged ferries to pick him up, after quietly crossing the Hutuo River from a hidden place, Qiao Youhua continued to conceal his whereabouts and go north.

After galloping wildly for several hours, he finally got out of the sphere of influence of the main force of the Dragon's Tooth Column and entered the junction of Xingtang County and Dingzhou, which bordered the Japanese puppet army.

At this time, Qiao Youhua had already changed his military uniform into the costume of an ordinary merchant and horse dealer, and in addition to the three-edged military thorn that had never left his body, there were also two German-made mirror boxes equipped with two base ammunition.

A twenty-shot box gun commonly known as a small submachine gun.

In addition, just in case, Qiao Youhua also carried an additional British M36 grenade, which can basically ensure that a single person needs to encounter various emergencies.

Since the end of the last battle, the first regiment of Longya took advantage of the situation to recover here, and then Qiao Youhua led his troops to the east, and the first regiment contracted its forces in order to strengthen the defense force in the Lingshou area on the north side of the base, and took the initiative to abandon here.

However, the devils, who had suffered a great loss of strength, did not send Japanese troops to occupy this place again, but only sent some puppet troops to occupy it symbolically. After the main force of the Dragon's Tooth Column finished the transportation campaign, it returned to the hinterland and border defense line of Shimen and other base areas from Hengshui and other places.

Jiang Haidong's regiment was able to take the initiative to advance strategically, and a company-level force of 200 people had just arrived at the junction of Xingtang County and Lingshou.

The more than 100 devils who defended the city learned the news in advance, and they didn't even have the will to resist, so they took the initiative to withdraw from the Tang Dynasty and fled in the direction of Dingzhou in the north.

Therefore, Xingtang County was able to be occupied and recovered by the Dragon Tooth Column again, but that was all, the Dragon Tooth Column, which was preparing to recruit troops and reorganize it, had no time to continue to advance its sphere of influence to the north for the time being.

As a result, the Japanese puppet army divided their respective territories and spheres of influence in the middle of Cheng'an Town, south of Dingzhou and north of Xingtang.

Qiao Youhua crossed the two counties of Xingtang and Xinle, and came to the vicinity of the bridge in Cheng'an Town, which was still under the control of the Japanese puppet army.

About a squad of two devils are on duty with weapons such as 38 rifles, and a small number of ordinary people passing by are basically subject to interrogation, and it is obviously impossible to get through the customs in a foolish way.

If it was just the second devil in this class, Qiao Youhua wouldn't mind going straight over.

However, after the devils in the north of the bridge rebuilt the bunkers, turrets and other fortifications, Qiao Youhua made a simple visual calculation and found that the strength of the Japanese puppet army in the north of the bridge was at least more than 500 people.

And Cheng'an Town, which is not far from the bridge, must still be stationed with heavy troops of the Japanese puppet army, after all, this is an area bordering the Dragon's Tooth Column, so it is natural to garrison heavy troops in case of contingencies.

Weighing the pros and cons, Qiao Youhua decided to take a detour, turned his horse's head and turned back to a fairly hidden woods he had found before, entered it, turned over and dismounted, took out the dry food and water he was carrying, and began to eat.

If you can't cross the bridge in Cheng'an Town, you can only smuggle in from other places, and this will not be done until night.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Youhua hurriedly rested and ate to restore his body and spirit.

Two hours later, it was already completely dark, Qiao Youhua untied the reins of the horse, turned over on the horse, and disappeared into the vast night.

Blocking in front of Qiao Youhua is the Shahe, the last Shahe Bridge attack, although Qiao Youhua did not participate, but afterwards Jiang Haidong made a detailed report to him, combined with the understanding on the map, Qiao Youhua has an understanding of the Shahe, especially the water situation near the bridge in Cheng'an Town.

Holding a small march map that was easy to carry, Qiao Youhua found a narrow place about ten miles away from the bridge, and drove the war horse into the water, it was the dry season, and sure enough, the water depth was only a little higher than the belly of the war horse at most.

Qiao Youhua urged the war horse to cross the Shahe River without danger, this shallow water, the reason why Qiao Youhua was able to find it was because there were marks on the map, which was an important information provided by a local old man when Jiang Haidong led his troops to fight here.

Many locals can't figure out the geographical water lines here, let alone the devils and puppet army, otherwise, when the devils and puppet army invaded Lingshou, they would have just waded across the river directly.

This shows the importance of intelligence. For Qiao Youhua and the Dragon's Tooth Column, this is also the advantage of local operations.

After crossing the Shahe River, Qiao Youhua took advantage of the night to gallop wildly, all the way to the north, and finally before dawn, bypassed Dingzhou City, which was heavily garrisoned and heavily guarded, and arrived at the county seat of Quyang County.

This is no longer the front line bordering the base of the Dragon's Tooth Column, because of the geographical location, the devils with insufficient troops have not stationed troops in Quyang, and there are only puppet troops in the city.

Therefore, the precautions are not as strict as those of Dingzhou and Cheng'an Town, when the sky is completely bright and the sun rises high, the gate of the county seat has been completely opened, and people inside and outside the city have begun to enter and exit normally.

The puppet soldiers yawned lazily, stood outside the city gate and above the city head, and began a new day of duty and stood guard, especially a few puppet soldiers outside the city gate, leaning against the battlement wall outside the city gate, yawning constantly, and didn't even bother to look at the passers-by.

Qiao Youhua rode a horse and walked in directly with a swagger, maybe there were too few people riding horses, especially Qiao Youhua was handsome and burly, and he had just entered the city.

A puppet army leader at the head of the city seemed to come to his senses, ran to the edge of the inner city wall, and shouted and asked: "Don't go, that one on horseback, stop for Lao Tzu!" ”

Hearing this, more than a dozen puppet soldiers around him under the city gate and on the city wall moved one after another, and they all ran towards the city gate, and those on the city wall raised their guns directly on it and aimed at Qiao Youhua.

Qiao Youhua reined in his horse and looked back to see that the few second devils who were yawning outside the city gate just now had already run over with guns in their hands.

When he was still about three or four meters away, four or five second devils pulled the bolt one after another, pointed the muzzle of the gun at Qiao Youhua and shouted: "Stop, dismount!" ”

The little leader of the puppet army at the head of the city also hurriedly ran down, carrying a southern fourteen-style pistol (Wang Ba box) in his hand, and walked over triumphantly.

Wang Ba pointed at Qiao Youhua and said: "Look at it, it's you, come down to Lao Tzu, fuck it, you look so handsome, and you fucking ride a horse, you think you are Tang Seng!" Don't you know if you have to get off the horse when you enter through this gate? ”

Qiao Youhua understood, it was not that his identity was exposed, but that he was riding a horse too ostentatious, and the leader of the traitor puppet army raised by the son of a bitch couldn't get used to it, so he was purely here to find fault.

He quietly moved away, and he had already touched his right hand on his waist, and with an idea in his mind, he scolded directly: "Fuck you, raised by a bitch, don't have long eyes, uncle, I just rode into the city, what can you do?" ”
