On the large wasteland in the east of Yizheng City, the heavy snow covered the earth with a layer of white clothes.

The decisive battle of the Dragon Tooth Task Force had already come to an end before dawn, and as a result, the main force of the Shigeto Detachment was completely wiped out, a few were defeated and fled, and nearly 3,000 people of the Dragon Tooth Task Force also paid the price of more than half of the casualties.

However, the more than 1,000 officers and soldiers who survived were all swept by the waves, and after the baptism of blood and fire, they successfully transformed into the most elite qualified soldiers.

Before the sky dawned, Qiao Youhua led more than 1,000 subordinates who had survived the bloody battle, and rushed towards Yangzhou without stopping.

Therefore, only some wounded soldiers remained outside the city of Yizheng, and there were also ordinary people in the city who spontaneously rushed to help clean up the battlefield and carry the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers, and they were active on the vast snowfield.

In the north of Yangzhou, a group of Japanese troops appeared in a hurry.

"Open the door! Hurry up, we're from the 2nd Infantry Wing. A devil lieutenant at the head of the group panted and beckoned to the city.

It was a small force of the Shigeto detachment that remained in the city, waiting for the Yamada detachment to come to receive Yangzhou, and when they found their own troops in ruin, although they didn't know what was happening, they immediately opened the city gates.

At that moment, a group of cavalry in gray-blue uniforms suddenly appeared at the end of the snow-covered highway and rushed towards the city gate.

The devil lieutenant, who was about to lead the remnants into the city, looked back and suddenly said with horror: "Bagaya Road, it's not good, it's the cavalry of the Zhina, quickly drop into the city." ”

Before his words fell, dozens of devils like lost dogs swarmed into the city, and the cavalry behind them was like ghosts, chasing them all the way, and I don't know how many imperial soldiers died tragically under their sabers and bullets along the way.

This ghost soldier who escaped by luck has been chased and killed by them, and it is as if they have seen the devil.

The muddy road did not have a big impact on the war horses, Qiao Youhua rushed to the city gate at full speed with the only three hundred dragon tooth cavalry, and when the devils were about to enter the city and close the city gate, he and several cavalrymen who rushed to the front opened fire fiercely with light machine guns.

The scorching bullets whistled and flew towards the city gate, banging and banging, and the dense bullets hit the wall of the city gate and the city gate, and suddenly the earth chips flew and the fire was everywhere.

There were even bullets that directly hit the ghost soldiers who swarmed into the city, knocking them to the ground one after another.

Since the Suzhou golden cicada was unshelled, there were only 300 war horses left under Qiao Youhua, and when they went to the Yizheng, these warhorses also crossed the Yangtze River with them, but they did not come in handy in the previous Yizheng offensive and defensive battles.

No, as soon as he killed the Chongdo detachment, Qiao Youhua selected three hundred soldiers who could ride horses from more than a thousand soldiers who had survived the bloody battle, and he personally led them all the way to follow and kill the Japanese rout, and rushed to Yangzhou City.

The main force was led by Jiang Haidong and others, and then followed.

Qiao Youhua's light machine gun was superb, and on the high-speed galloping horse, his short point shot was still surprisingly accurate, and three rapid short point shots shot six devil soldiers who wanted to close the city gate.

Under his precise firepower, he bought enough time for his cavalry to attack.

Finally, before the devil closed the city gate, he rushed into the city gate hole.

Da Da Da ...... The light machine guns in the hands of the first few cavalrymen continued to roar, and the several devil soldiers who rushed towards the city gate and tried to close the city gate, together with the dozens of devil soldiers who had just entered the city and were in shock, all fell under their machine gun fire like cutting wheat.

Scarlet flames continued to erupt from the muzzle of the gun, and waves of hot bullets covered the entire city gate hole like raindrops, and the screams of the devil soldiers were endless, but they were powerless to stop the dragon's tooth cavalry from entering the city.

Qiao Youhua led three hundred cavalry to swarm into the city, after entering the city, Qiao Youhua continued to lead the main force along the street to advance forward, while a small group of cavalry behind quickly turned over and dismounted, and attacked towards the city head, the purpose was obvious, that is, to seize the city head and control the north gate of Suzhou, in order to wait for the arrival of the follow-up main force.

Because the Yamada detachment was about to take over the defense of Yangzhou, the Shigeto detachment originally left not many garrison troops in Yangzhou, probably only about three or four hundred people.

In addition, Yangzhou has just been captured by them, and they have not had time to recruit the Imperial Army, so such a small number of troops still have to guard the gate of the huge Yangzhou city, and the troops are very stretched.

When Qiao Youhua led three hundred dragon tooth iron cavalry to enter from the north gate, except for the dozens of devil soldiers at the north gate who made a weak resistance to the queen, there was no devil figure on the wide street, and the devils in the other three directions had just heard the news and were coming.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua left more than 100 cavalry to stick to the north gate, and personally led 200 cavalry to assault along the street all the way to the former Yangzhou Municipal Government compound, where the current temporary headquarters of the Japanese army is located.

He easily killed the dozens of devils inside, broke a Japanese devil's plaster flag planted on the roof, and then continued along the street towards the south gate.

At the crossroads, it happened to be a head-on encounter with dozens of devil reinforcements who rushed to the south gate after hearing the news, Qiao Youhua pulled out his saber and led two hundred iron horsemen to rush up, and soon hacked these dozens of devil soldiers to death.

At this time, Jiang Haidong also led more than 700 elite main veterans to arrive in time, and after entering the city, more than 700 veterans immediately attacked in two directions towards the east and west gates of Yangzhou.

After a fierce battle on the way, he eliminated the devil defenders who were at an extreme disadvantage, and captured the whole city.

The thousand-year-old city, which had fallen for less than three days, was once again in the hands of the Chinese army.

In the county government compound, Qiao Youhua was sitting on a chair smoking and resting.

A rush and chaotic footsteps came from outside, and Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao, Wu Ming, Liu Jianhua and others walked in one after another.

"Tuanzao, Yangzhou City has been fully recovered by our department, and all the remnants of the enemy in the city have been wiped out! None of them slipped! Liu Jianhua saluted Qiao Youhua excitedly.

Qiao Youhua flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Order the troops to rest on the spot, the brothers are very tired, it's time to rest for a while." ”

"However, Jianhua, you can't rest, immediately send scouts out of the city, closely reconnoiter the movements of the Japanese army on the other side, and report immediately as soon as there is a situation!"

"In addition, immediately send a telegram to the Nanjing Garrison Theater Command to report that after a bloody battle in Yizheng County, our unit annihilated the Chongteng Detachment in Yizheng County, and rushed for hundreds of miles to recover Yangzhou in one fell swoop! At present, our casualties are too large, and we ask the Garrison Theater Command to immediately send reinforcements to take over the defense of Yangzhou City. ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianhua and the others suddenly agreed, and turned around and left.

After Liu Jianhua left, Qiao Youhua said to Jiang Haidong: "Haidong, you can't rest, there is something you need to do." ”

"Say it." Jiang Haidong said for a long time.

"I'll give you a hundred men, and you will immediately find a way to cross the Yangtze River, enter the city of Nanjing, and wait for my orders, remember, bring a radio station, so that you can make contact." Qiao Youhua said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Jiang Haidong didn't ask much, and left after receiving the order.
