With the fall of Xuancheng, Wuhu and other places, when Tu County has been in danger, so the people in the county fled and fled, almost ten rooms and nine empty, the only thing left here is a defeated army from Wuhu, the number of about 200 people, for some reason, in the case of defeat like a mountain, did not escape from this small place pointed by the Japanese soldiers.

When Qiao Youhua led the team to the east gate of Dangtu County in the rain, dozens of soldiers armed with rifles suddenly stood up on the city gate, and one of the leaders shouted: "What people, stop advancing immediately, otherwise we will shoot." ”

"We are the Dragon's Tooth Anti-Japanese Task Force, we have just come from Jiangbei to defend Nanjing against the Japanese invaders!" Liu Yidao rode forward and responded loudly on behalf of Qiao Youhua.

"Task Force Dragon's Tooth? Isn't that in Hebei? How did you get here? Don't fool Lao Tzu, I think it's a small team pretended to be a little devil, and they want to sneak attack Dangtu County, right? The officer at the head said vigilantly.

Qiao Youhua waved his hand, and two subordinates escorted a soldier in an earthy yellow military uniform to step forward, which was a scout found by Jiang Haidong and Ma Biao during the march towards the county just now.

Originally, this scout was also vigilant enough, but what he met was Qiao Youhua and the four of them, who could be called demon-level super soldier kings, so before they could return to the county seat to report the news, they were subdued by Jiang Haidong and the others.

Qiao Youhua turned on the flashlight and shone the soldier in front of him and said, "Brother Ren in the city, you don't recognize us, you should recognize this person, right?" ”

By the light of the flashlight, the officer at the head of the city let out an exclamation: "Little Wuzi, how are you?" Who are they? ”

"Little brother, tell your sir, are we Japanese devils pretending to be pretending to be?" Qiao Youhua said with a smile.

The scout named Xiao Wuzi looked at Qiao Youhua's words, although since he was arrested, Qiao Youhua and his subordinates have not felt sorry for him once, let alone asked about the specific situation of the defenders in the city, but he still said cautiously: "Sir, I can't tell if they are Japanese or not, my safety alone is not important, don't open the city gate!" ”

"You kid, why are you so ignorant, if you were Japanese, you would be killed with one shot." Qiao Youhua was a little angry, but he also admired this guy, it was much stronger than the local army he saw along the way.

And judging from Qiao Youhua's experience, this guy and the remnants of the soldiers in the city are all murderous, and it is obvious that they have been on the battlefield and experienced the baptism of life and death.

It's not comparable to the average rabble.

Xiao Wuzi was not afraid to raise his head and said: "If you fall into your hands, you will kill if you want to kill, see if Lao Tzu frowns, anyway, there are no longer a few little devils killed by Lao Tzu on the front line, and it is already enough!" ”

The officer at the head of the city heard Xiao Wuzi say this, and he didn't dare to open the door, and he was also very puzzled, Xiao Wuzi followed him to fight for many years, from the bloody battle of Songhu to Wuhu, he was not sacrificed, and his combat experience and individual combat effectiveness were quite good, how could he fall into the hands of their gang.

It seems that the comer is not good.

"Yo he, you kid is still a little bloody, you're a man, so let's do it, in order to show our identity, I'll let you into the city now." Qiao Youhua waved his hand, and the two subordinates put away their guns.

Xiao Wuzi was stunned and saw that Qiao Youhua didn't seem to be joking, and immediately ran towards the city gate quickly, and someone in the city had already answered, opened the city gate a little, and connected him into the city.

"How's it going, brother? Still don't believe us? My brothers and I have traveled thousands of miles all the way south, and we are tired, so please open the gates of the city and let us in! Qiao Youhua said loudly.

Seeing that Xiao Wuzi was really released, the officer led by him fell into hesitation, and asked suspiciously: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Qiao Youhua?" ”

"It's Qiao, I don't know what to call Brother Ren?" Qiao Youhua asked.

There was no response from the city, and Scarface was a little uncontrollable and said to Qiao Youhua: "Captain, what do you have to say to these rabbit cubs, they won't let us in, let's give them some color and see!" Let them know how good our Dragon's Tooth Task Force is! ”

Scarface had a loud voice, and it was not very far from the city gate, so it was heard by both sides, and the dozens of defenders at the head of the city immediately raised their weapons again, but there was no trace of timidity.

"Our bullets will never be fired at our own compatriots, not to mention, this group of remnants in the city must have retreated from the Songhu front, and they have extremely rich combat experience, and if they can fight with us, it will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness." Qiao Youhua said.

At this time, the officer headed by the head of the city spoke again: "Captain Qiao, Liu Jianhua, the captain and company commander of the 3rd Company of the 67th Division of the Contemptible Central Army, was ordered to lead his troops to garrison Dangtu County, block the Japanese army, and take on the important task of defending the city. ”

"Let your mother shit, Lao Tzu has driven thousands of miles, one by one they are tired like bears, just to fight the little devils, and now it's raining again, you don't fucking let us into the city, believe it or not, Lao Tzu bombarded you bastards!" Scarface scolded like thunder.

Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said: "Very good, Brother Liu is very vigilant, it is not a loss to come down from the front line, Qiao Mou appreciates talents like you, I agree to postpone entering the city, I hope that after tomorrow, you and I can join forces to fight against the Japanese invaders and go to the national disaster together!" ”

"Wait!" Liu Jianhua suddenly stopped Qiao Youhua and them.

"What? What else? Qiao Youhua grabbed the war horse and turned around and asked.

"I believe you are the Dragon's Tooth Task Force, open the gates and let you into the city now." Liu Jianhua said.

Qiao Youhua was stunned and said with a smile: "Why aren't you afraid that we are pretending to be devils?" ”

Xiao Wuzi, who was put back by Qiao Youhua, responded with a smile: "Chief Qiao doesn't know, our company commander is also from Hebei, and the brother's angry scolding just now, with an obvious Hebei accent, this is not something that a little devil can pretend to be!" ”

"Haha, I see, it seems that Scarface's loud voice and scolding are more effective than this captain!" Qiao Youhua said happily.

The others burst into laughter.

After entering the city, Liu Jianhua welcomed Qiao Youhua and others into the original county government, and arranged for people to prepare food and drink for Qiao Youhua and them, and arrange accommodation.

"There's Brother Lao Liu." Qiao Youhua thanked Liu Jianhua and said.

"Hey, they are both soldiers, they are all Brother Paoze, what are you polite, the people and households in this city are running away, but many landlords and old fortunes have left a lot of food behind, and our ration problem has been solved!" Liu Jianhua waved his hand and said disappreciatively.

"Then why didn't Brother Liu and your subordinates run away? Instead of being trapped in an isolated city? Qiao Youhua asked curiously.

Liu Jianhua said proudly: "Brother Qiao, don't hide it, the reason why Liu and his brothers did not abandon the city and flee is not because they are not afraid of death, but because they don't want to run anymore.

We should have died as honorably as they did, but now we have lived so long that we have been driven from Shanghai to Rencheng by the little devils, and then from Rencheng to Wuhu, and then here again.

Compared with those brothers who died in battle, we have almost become lost dogs, and the brothers are unwilling to run away anymore, just waiting for the little devils, fighting with them to the end, and pulling two backs when they die, and then they will be reunited with the brothers of the 67th Division! ”

"Very good, now that the national crisis is at the head, the nation is in danger, Nanjing is in danger, our generation of soldiers should stand up, fight the Japanese invaders to the end, and defend Nanjing City to the death, how can they be greedy for life and afraid of death, and steal their lives? Qiao led his troops to come thousands of miles this time, just to be able to do his part.

Regardless of life or death, but please be worthy of your heart! Qiao Youhua said solemnly.

"Well said, no matter life or death, but please be worthy of your heart! That's great, Brother Qiao, you are famous in Hebei, and the brothers on the front line have heard of it. Liu Jianhua said with some excitement.

"I can't ask for it!" Qiao Youhua said overjoyed.
