East of Shimen City, under the soil slope, the headquarters of the Japanese puppet army on the east road.

After two days of rest, the badly injured Sakai Tatsuzo had already gotten out of bed and walked, and as soon as it was dawn today, he walked out of the headquarters despite the dissuasion of the military doctor and adjutant.

Holding the binoculars, he began to watch the battle scene of the attacking troops attacking Shimen again.

Just after watching a lot, a devil communication soldier suddenly got out of the tent in the communication room next to the command and trotted all the way to the dirt slope.

He stiffly stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency General, I just got the news that Dingzhou City, where the headquarters of the Western Route Army is located, was attacked by the Zhina Army last night, and the munitions warehouse was blown up!" The defending troops suffered heavy losses. ”

"What?" Sakai Ritsuzo, who was holding a telescope, heard this, immediately turned around and asked, "Is Major General Yasukawa Makube okay?" ”

The signal soldier shook his head and said: "The enemy's target is the munitions warehouse, and the headquarters of the Western Route Army has not been attacked, so General Kawayasu Makube and the officers of the command are safe and sound. ”

When Sakai Rizo heard this, he relaxed a little, if Major General Kawayasu Makube, who was the joint commander of the Japanese puppet army on the Western Road, made any mistake, then this encirclement and suppression operation would probably end in failure.

He said to the adjutant next to him: "Strange, the main forces of the Longya Column of China have been attracted by us to the front line of Shimen, and the troops under the command of Chuan Kangjun are blocked on the front line of Lingshou and Xinle. ”

The devil adjutant was also puzzled, obviously not knowing how to answer this question.

The communication soldier who had not yet left said cautiously: "According to the information on the telegram, it was not the ordinary Chinese infantry who attacked Dingzhou City last night, but a branch of the Chinese cavalry!" ”

Sakai Ritsumichi was shocked when he heard this, "Shina cavalry? He and the adjutant glanced at each other, and suddenly realized: "I understand, it must be the cavalry of the dragon tooth column that attacked Hengshui and Anping before!" It has to be them! The Chinese army is really cunning to the extreme.

I really didn't expect them to go to Dingzhou City! ”

The adjutant also nodded approvingly: "Yes, this cavalry is too cunning, and quite bold, and its actions are strange, often unexpected." ”

"Last night's attack, it's only been a few hours now, they shouldn't have run far!" Sakai Ritsuzo muttered to himself, paused, and immediately instructed the communication soldier in front of him: "Immediately send a telegram to Major General Kawayasu Makube, inform them of the specific situation of this Chinese cavalry, and ask them to immediately dispatch troops to search and suppress, and I will send the main force of the Eastern Route Army to rush to the Anguo area to cooperate."

This time, our eastern and western armies will fight together, and we must completely encircle and annihilate this annoying Chinese cavalry in the area of Anguo and Dingzhou! They must not be allowed to escape again!

Tell General Sù Chuan Kang, this cavalry is extremely cunning and mobile, if we can't completely eradicate it, we will have endless troubles, and we will not be able to concentrate all our strength on the frontal attack, and in the long run, we will be dragged down by life! ”

"Hay!" The devil messenger quickly recorded Sakai Tatsuzo's words, bowed his head sharply, turned around and ran down the dirt slope.

…………

Kawayasu Makube, the commander of the Japanese puppet army on the Western Road, who was originally in anger, was even more angry after receiving this telegram from Sakai Ritsuzo, and it turned out to be the cunning Shina unit of the Dragon Tooth Cavalry Battalion.

With a clear goal, Kawayasu agreed to Sakai Tatsuzo's construction and immediately ordered the Japanese puppet army on the front line of Ankoku to block the surrounding roads.

At the same time, thousands of Japanese puppet troops drawn back from the Lingshou front, together with the defenders of Dingzhou City, formed a powerful search force and launched a search to the north of Dingzhou.

The reason why the devil did not choose the search range in other directions was because after discussing with his officers, Kawayasu Makubian found that the dragon tooth cavalry that attacked Dingzhou did not show any signs of fleeing in the east and south directions, otherwise it would be impossible for the Japanese puppet army in these two directions not to notice it at all.

In addition, the west is mountainous, and the only possible direction to escape is the north of Dingzhou.

…………

Shimen County, the former enemy headquarters of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

Outside the city, the main force of Longya and the Japanese puppet army on the East Road were in full swing, and the headquarters in the city was also busy, especially in the communication room, several high-power radios were running at full speed, and the sound of dripping filled the whole room.

Liu Ruhan, director of the communications department, went into battle in person, and Wan Yinger, who is now the deputy director, was testing the Japanese army's radio signal together, and suddenly, Wan Yinger took off the headset in surprise and said to Liu Ruhan: "Director, there is a breakthrough." ”

Liu Ruhan hurriedly took off the headphones and asked, "Ying'er, what did you say?" ”

"I said, I deciphered the Japanese radio signal we just captured!" Wan Ying'er said with a happy smile on her face.

"Really?" Liu Ruhan was overjoyed when she heard this, it turned out that they had inadvertently monitored a Japanese radio signal from the east of the city, because this time the radio waves were more frequent, Liu Ruhan and Wan Yinger paid attention to it and began to decipher it with all their might.

I have to say that Wan Yinger is really a genius in radio, and her attainments in radio are now surpassing that of Liu Ruhan, a master.

Of course, Liu Ruhan often has to linger with Qiao Youhua, and he must not make progress as fast as Wan Yinger's dedication to radio research and study.

Liu Ruhan said: "Quickly show me what the content of the Japanese army's message is." Overjoyed, Liu Ruhan stretched out her hand to Wan Yinger.

Wan Ying'er nodded, handed her a message that had just been deciphered, Liu Ruhan took it and read it, and couldn't help but change her face greatly, and her beautiful eyes were full of worry: "The Japanese army actually judged the position of the commander and wanted to encircle and suppress them?" ”

Wan Ying'er also nodded with a worried face: "Sister Ruhan, yes, Brother Qiao, they seem to be very dangerous, we must inform them immediately." ”

Liu Ruhan nodded: "Well, I'll send them electricity." After that, he sat down, picked up the headphones again, put them on, and started generating electricity.

…………

Thirty miles north of Dingzhou, in a small uninhabited village, the cavalry battalion is temporarily stationed here to rest, and the villagers in this village have long been deserted because the Japanese puppet army has fled southward.

In the courtyard of a slightly larger house in the village, Qiao Youhua, Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu and other officers are gathering here to rest, and the radio station of the cavalry battalion is also set up here.

Qiao Youhua, who was sitting in the courtyard, could clearly hear the "Didi" sound made by the radio station when it was running.

Suddenly, a signal soldier came to the three of them with a telegram in his hand, saluted them, and said, "Commander, battalion commander, deputy battalion commander, Shimen Command Headquarters is urgent!" ”
