The Japanese puppet defenders at the head of the city, while guarding to the death, constantly asked the Japanese lords for help through the Guò radio station, asking them to quickly come to support.

Anping County is only a few dozen miles away from Raoyang, Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua led the cavalry battalion to attack for less than an hour, and then rushed to the northeast of the city.

Qiao Youhua suddenly stopped his horse, stopped suddenly, raised his right hand, and the cavalry soldiers behind him also stopped advancing.

"Okay, just rest here for fifteen minutes, so that the people can recover, and your battalion commander and I will go to the front to investigate, and you will wait here." After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and Liu Jianhua went one after the other, and the cat bent into the sorghum field on the side of the road.

After a short time, they came to a place about 100 meters away from the city wall, hidden in a leafy sorghum field, and the two of them raised their binoculars and began to observe the enemy.

After nearly twenty minutes of observation, Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua found that the devil's defense force in Anping was much weaker than that of Rao Yang.

Although the city was also crowded with people and had a high level of vigilance, the number was obviously much smaller than that of Raoyang, especially the proportion of Japanese soldiers among them.

After all, Anping is not on the railway line, and its geographical location is far less important than Hengshui and Raoyang, so it is reasonable to leave only some puppet troops stationed.

Liu Jianhua said: "Commander, it seems that we can easily take Anping County." ”

Qiao Youhua put away the binoculars and nodded: "Let's go, go back and gather the troops and prepare to attack." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Jianhua also put away the binoculars, followed Qiao Youhua and bent his waist, followed the road he came through the dense sorghum fields, and returned to the place where the soldiers of the cavalry battalion rested.

Seeing them return, Zhao Tiezhu, the deputy battalion commander, and several other officers all got up to greet them, and the other Longya cavalry soldiers who had already dismounted and sat on the ground to rest also stood up one after another, waiting for the order to attack.

"Commander, battalion commander, how is the situation? Is it time to attack? Zhao Tiezhu asked.

Qiao Youhua looked at the dragon tooth cavalry with eager faces, and said: "Let the artillery prepare, blow up the city gate, and then concoct it in the same way to recover Anping County, the city is full of puppet troops, and there are not many troops." ”

Zhao Tiezhu replied: "Commander, the artillerymen have already assembled the infantry guns, and the mortars are ready to go into battle at any time. ”

"Really?" Qiao Youhua couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, revealing a look of approval.

"Yes, the artillerymen just took advantage of the rest time of the troops to fully load the four Type 92 infantry guns." Zhao Tiezhu nodded and smiled.

"That's good, order the troops, move forward immediately! Prepare to attack!! Qiao Youhua immediately ordered.

To the surprise of Qiao Youhua and all the officers and men of the Dragon Tooth Cavalry Battalion, when they pushed four Type 92 infantry guns and more than a dozen mortars outside the east gate of Anping, the puppet army at the head of the city found them, not only did they not open fire to stop the attack, but instead raised a white flag on the head of the city.

Subsequently, under the gaze of Qiao Youhua and others, a puppet army officer made a duck-like voice on the city: "The heroes of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, please don't open fire, I have heard of your army's prestige for a long time, we are like thunder, we have decided to surrender!" Please don't fire! ”

"We accept the surrender, kill all the devils in the city, and then open the city gate, line up, raise guns over the top with both hands, and roll out from inside one by one, our Eighth Route Army guarantees that none of them will be killed!" Qiao Youhua opened his mouth and said loudly.

There was silence for a moment on the head of the city, and then the male duck's voice sounded again: "Boss, you tell us to do it, please don't open fire, the small one will lead people to open the city gate and surrender!" ”

Qiao Youhua motioned to the artillerymen beside him to load all the shells into the barrels and prepare for firing, whether they wanted to surrender or fake, there was nothing wrong with being prepared.

Instructed the artillerymen to prepare just in case, Qiao Youhua stepped on the gun carriage, raised the binoculars, and found that the city was crowded, and some Japanese scolding could be faintly heard, it seems that the puppet army really cleaned up the devils in the ranks.

After about a few minutes, the closed city gate suddenly opened, and Qiao Youhua's telescope immediately turned to the city gate, and he clearly saw that a bald puppet army officer wearing an officer's uniform walked out with his hands raised.

He also had a box gun pistol hanging from his raised right hand, followed by a group of puppet soldiers, mostly armed with rifles, who, like him, were also holding their hands high above the top.

As he walked, the bald puppet officer said with some concern: "Boss, we're coming out, please don't shoot!" ”

Qiao Youhua waved his hand to the cavalrymen behind him who were raising their guns, signaling them not to shoot.

Soon, hundreds of puppet soldiers came out of the city one after another under the leadership of the bald officer, Qiao Youhua waved his hand, and Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu immediately rushed up with more than 200 cavalry.

Surrounded them all, took control of them, and after disarming, the bald officer of the puppet army was called to Qiao Youhua.

Qiao Youhua looked at this puppet army officer who took the initiative to surrender with great interest, and asked, "Tell me, why did you surrender?" ”

The bald puppet army glanced at Qiao Youhua and said, "I'm afraid of death." ”

"Okay, it's quite sincere, I like honest people, what about the devils in the city?" Qiao Youhua asked with a smile.

"The little one has already been tied up, it's in the city, boss, you can send someone to take a look." The puppet army is bald.

Qiao Youhua gave Liu Jianhua a look, and Liu Jianhua immediately led more than 100 wolf-like dragon tooth cavalry into the city, and it didn't take long to arrest about a dozen Japanese devils who were tied up.

Qiao Youhua glanced at it disdainfully, and said to Liu Jianhua: "It's all pulled aside and killed!" No, don't waste bullets, this little devil, just chop them all one by one with a saber! ”

"Yes!" The corners of Liu Jianhua's mouth flashed with a smile, and he immediately commanded the cavalry under his command to act according to the order.

Watching the wolf-like dragon tooth cavalry pull the dozen devils to the side of the road and behead them on the spot, the bloody scenes, the puppet soldiers were frightened, and their faces turned pale one by one, secretly glad that they were fortunate that they did not resist and took the initiative to surrender.

The bald puppet army officer couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on the top of his head.

Qiao Youhua withdrew his gaze from the beheading side, and said to the bald puppet army in front of him: "Don't worry, you are still acquainted, take the initiative to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will not kill you." ”

"Thank you, boss, thank you boss for not killing." The bald puppet army was so moved that he was almost about to cry, and he couldn't wait to kneel down for Qiao Youhua immediately.

"However, you have become traitors, it stands to reason that the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, this time I will give you a warning, don't be a traitor and puppet army in the future, otherwise the next time we let the dragon tooth column meet, there will be absolutely no one left! These devils are a lesson for you! Qiao Youhua deliberately said.
