Aso Kuboichi was a Cao commander of the Japanese army stationed in Raoyang County, and he and his soldiers were responsible for the defense of the north gate of Raoyang.

Seven or eight hours have passed since the main force left Raoyang in the morning to participate in the encirclement and suppression battle in Dingzhou, and the time has come in the evening, the sun is about to set, and the sky is gradually darkening.

Aso Kuboichi, who had been standing guard for several hours back and forth in the city, stretched his waist, vigorously carried the Type 38 rifle behind him, turned to a military commander who happened to come to change the guard, and said: "Ono-kun, I'm going to you here, I'm going to have dinner, hehe, I'll change you in the evening." ”

The Wu Chang named Ono carried a gun in one hand, rubbed his stomach with the other, and burped, obviously just had a good meal: "Hurry up, today's food is good, there is a pig snatched from the Zhina people, I haven't eaten such fragrant pork for a long time!" ”

"Oh? Is it? Then I can't wait! Aso Kubo suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and quickly ran towards the city with a gun on his back, and the other devils also completed the change of guard, and got off the city in twos and threes, and rushed to the houses in the city.

Time passed, and soon the sun set completely, and darkness once again enveloped the whole land, Raoyang City was in it, and he couldn't see his fingers, and the night was always unsettling and uncomfortable, even if the devils on the head of the city had the city walls.

Fortunately, before the main force of the Japanese army left, a searchlight was left, and Commander Ono and his soldiers turned on the searchlight assigned to the north gate just after nightfall.

Looking at the bright beam, Xiao Ye, the devil Wu Chang, excitedly twisted the searchlight a few times, and the beam went straight to hundreds of meters away, and everywhere he went, the darkness was all dispelled, and the wilderness full of grass and trees, the dense sorghum fields, and the paths between the vertical and horizontal paths of Qianmo were clear at a glance.

With this dazzling light, some of the uneasiness and fear in the hearts of Captain Ono and the other devil soldiers due to the darkness of the night were greatly relieved.

Begin to stand guard and patrol with peace of mind.

"Commander, five miles ahead is Raoyang County!" In the wilderness north of Raoyang, Liu Jianhua rode a horse to Qiao Youhua and guided the road from afar.

When Qiao Youhua heard this, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and the war horse under his crotch suddenly stopped advancing, snorted, and stopped, the hot air was constantly bubbling out of his mouth and nose in the dark night, and it was obvious that he was tired from running long distances.

"There are still five miles left, don't be in a hurry, pass my order to go down, everyone rest on the spot, send a guard post just in case, rest for an hour, and then set off to raid Raoyang City!" Qiao Youhua turned the horse's head and commanded.

Liu Jianhua and several company commanders agreed one after another, and each took the order, and soon more than 500 cavalry officers and soldiers acted according to the order, began to dismount and rest, drink water, eat dry food, and replenish their bodies.

Many cavalrymen simply ate something to pad their stomachs, and dragged their tired bodies to find some hay and other forage that their war horses like to eat.

Qiao Youhua also turned over and dismounted, and sat down on a mound with Liu Jianhua, took dry food and a water bottle, and began to replenish his physical strength.

…………

At the same time, something was happening on Zhao Tiezhu's side, and with the arrival of thousands of puppet troops from Dingzhou, Zhao Tiezhu had to make the decision to lead the team to transfer.

Although the devil and the puppet army are now stopping ten miles away from the village where they are temporarily stationed because of the darkness of the night, Zhao Tiezhu understands that if he does not withdraw tonight, he may not have a chance at dawn tomorrow.

At the same time, he also understood that Qiao Youhua left him to lead this 100-person suspicious army, not to let him go to war with the Japanese puppet army and eliminate how many devils and two devils, but to do a good job of pretending to be the main force as much as possible to achieve the purpose of attracting the Japanese puppet army.

So, what they need is not to kill the enemy heroically and fight.

When the last group of cavalry scouts returned safely, Zhao Tiezhu immediately summoned all the cavalry to complete the assembly in the open space outside the village.

Under the cover of night, Zhao Tiezhu ordered someone to light a torch, and under the faint light of the fire, he and the soldiers could vaguely see each other's faces.

He rode a war horse and looked at the hundred cavalry soldiers in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the commander and the battalion commander are going to stab the little devil's ass, and it is estimated that this will soon hit Raoyang County."

And our mission has just begun, and now we have to have a good deal with the Japanese puppet army! Be sure to hold them back and buy time for the commander, the battalion commander, and the brethren of the main force! ”

"Deputy battalion commander, if there is any arrangement, you can just give orders! Brethren look to you for their lead! If you say it, let's fight! Even if you go to fight with the Japanese puppet army raised by the son of a bitch now, the big guy won't frown! ”

"That's right, the second platoon commander is right, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, you can give the order! A mountain of swords and a sea of fire! The brethren will never frown! The other platoon commander nodded in agreement.

The other fighters nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tiezhu was very satisfied with their reactions, waved his left hand and said: "Brothers, I am very happy that you can say that, but our task is not to kill the enemy, but to contain the enemy as much as possible, so now, I order, immediately move to the northwest!" As for killing devils, there will be opportunities in the future! ”

The two platoon commanders glanced at each other in some astonishment, and then under Zhao Tiezhu's gaze, they straightened up and saluted: "Yes!" ”

…………

An hour passed quickly, Qiao Youhua was the first to stand up, came to his war horse, took the lead in turning over the horse, reined in the war horse and looked around and said sharply: "All of them, after the rest is over, immediately get on the horse, check the weapons and equipment, and prepare to attack Raoyang County with me!" ”

The cavalrymen, who were scattered everywhere to rest, heard the order and mobilized one after another.

In just a few minutes, more than 550 dragon tooth soldiers all turned on their horses, checked their weapons and ammunition, and prepared for battle.

With a wave of Qiao Youhua's big hand, they rode their horses and followed closely behind, running towards Raoyang County, which was five miles away.

At the head of the north gate of Raoyang, Chief Ono was already a little drowsy, yawning again and again, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head to see that the light of several flashlights shook and shone along the city ladder.

"Aso, is that you?" Captain Ono asked.

"Haha, Ono-kun, it's me who has come to change the guard, you guys have worked hard, hurry up and go down and rest!" A figure took the lead in the city, it was Aso Kubo Kazucho who changed the guard in the evening.

While speaking, Aso Kuboichi had already come to Chief Ono with a gun on his back, and Ono couldn't help but yawn and said, "Okay, Aso Hisa-kun, I'll leave it to you here, hard work." ”

At this time, all the soldiers brought by Aso Kuboichi had come up and completed the handover with Captain Ono and his subordinates, and Ono took the lead towards the castle.
