After Yu Zhishan was ordered to leave, he immediately ordered his troops to leave the city and march towards Lingshou County.

One of its forward reconnaissance troops, encountered a regiment of reconnaissance troops led by Liu Yidao in the area of Cihe, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides.

Once it really went to the battlefield, the combat effectiveness was really vulnerable, and the two sides encountered suddenly, and the puppet army was afraid of being ambushed.

Liu Yidao took the opportunity to lead his troops to chase and kill, defeated it, and captured a lot of prisoners, and when Yu Zhishan led a large number of follow-up troops to arrive, Liu Yidao had already withdrawn across the Cihe River with his troops.

In order to prevent Xinle's Japanese army from moving south, Jiang Haidong did not lead his troops back to Lingshou, but deployed a main force along the south bank of the Cihe River.

After Liu Yidao returned with the scouts, he immediately interrogated the captured prisoners and learned from them the specific situation of the Japanese reinforcements in Xinle.

"Regiment leader, I figured it out, it turns out that Xinle's devil reinforcements are not all Japanese soldiers, but most of them are puppet troops in Zhishan." Liu Yidao came to the temporary regiment headquarters in a hurry and reported to Jiang Haidong.

"Yu Zhishan? The big traitor of the Northeast Army? As a traverser, Jiang Haidong naturally heard the name of this famous traitor in history.

"Yes, the captives we captured are all with a northeast accent, the long man is tall and big, cowardly and incompetent like a girl, and before they fight, they will all recruit." Liu Yidao said.

"It can't be generalized, there are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death and warriors who are not afraid of life and death, and the Northeast Army is no exception. And many of the Northeast Army, which withdrew into the Guannai, also showed good combat effectiveness in previous large-scale battles. Jiang Haidong said.

Liu Yidao nodded and continued: "By the way, regiment commander, according to the confession of the puppet army prisoners, this batch of reinforcements in Xinle is mainly due to a brigade in Zhishan, plus two Japanese infantry brigades and a tank tank brigade, and Yu Zhishan is still the commander-in-chief." ”

"Yu Zhishan is the commander-in-chief, nominally it is still possible, it is impossible for the Japanese to really hand over the command to a traitor, but this is indeed good news for us.

The more than 5,000-day puppet army is not all Japanese troops, so it is much easier to deal with. Jiang Haidong said.

"That's not it, the combat effectiveness of these two devils is really far worse than that of the little devils, and the puppet army troops that we encountered with our reconnaissance platoon just now are at least one company, and they were scared away before they could fight much." Liu Yidao nodded with deep feelings.

"The devil has a tank brigade, this is a big problem, we have to find a way to get rid of it, so we can fight the next battle." Jiang Haidong pondered for a while and said: "Order the first battalion to strengthen patrol vigilance, report back as soon as there is news, and never let the tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese puppet army, especially the devils, cross the Ci River." ”

"Yes! Commander, please rest assured, the little devil's tank will never be able to cross the Ci River, and the bridge will be completely blown up by us. Liu Yidao immediately stepped forward and agreed.

After Liu Yidao left, Jiang Haidong called the communication soldier and gave a quiet order, and the communication soldier nodded and ordered to leave.

…………

On the north bank of the Cihe River, Yu Zhishan scolded the company commander who had lost the battle, and then led the troops to the north bank with the coordination of the Japanese tank and combat vehicle brigade, and confronted the Longya regiment across the river.

The captain of the Devil's Chariot Brigade is named Abe Jing, with the rank of junior saga, and he wears an armored military uniform and comes to the temporary brigade command post in Yuzhishan.

Yu Zhishan hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a sneer: "Abe-kun, why are you here?" ”

Abe Jing Shaozo saluted and said, "Brigade Commander Yu, why don't you attack yet?" ”

Yu Zhishan hurriedly asked Abe Jing Shaozuo to sit down, and said: "Abe-kun, you have also seen that there is a magnetic river in front of me, I sent people to reconnoiter around, and the nearby bridges have been blown up by Tubalu, and now we lack the equipment to cross the river, and the tanks and chariots of the imperial army cannot cross the river!" ”

Abekyo said: "I will report to Commander Saburo on the shore, and ask him to find a way to send sappers over to erect a pontoon bridge for the imperial army's chariots to pass guò, and the equipment and boats for crossing the river are to be solved by yourself as the brigade commander!" ”

"Okay, Yu will send someone to collect the boat." Yu Zhishan agreed.

Abejing Shaozo turned around and left, and one of Yu Zhishan's adjutants said: "Brigade commander, this Tubalu is not easy to mess with, even the 5th Division can't beat it, if we really cross the river, it's unknown whether we can come back!" ”

A trace of sadness appeared on Yu Zhishan's fat face and said: "I don't know this, but you can't see clearly now, the Japanese are staring at the back, don't we attack?" ”

The adjutant was speechless, and Yu Zhishan sighed and said, "Okay, tell all regiments to go to the surrounding villages along the coast to collect boats and prepare to cross the river." ”

"Yes." The adjutant also responded helplessly and took the order to leave.

…………

In a forest more than ten miles east of Shimen City, the Dragon's Tooth Cavalry Battalion is resting here temporarily.

Liu Jianhua came to Qiao Youhua and said: "Commander, just now the third regiment called, the Japanese army has not retreated, and it is still continuing to storm our army's defense line from the two directions of Yongling River and Yangliu Town, but thanks to the support of the guard battalion, the third regiment is still firmly holding its position for the time being, but the casualties of the recruits are not small." ”

Qiao Youhua nodded, and said with deep eyes: "It seems that the 21st Division raised by the son of a dog is more calm than we imagined, is there any news about the group?" ”

Liu Jianhua said: "Yes, I was about to report it, but Commander Jiang called and said that he had figured out the specific situation of the Xinle reinforcements, and the enemy's reinforcements were about 5,000 people, but at least 4,000 of them were the puppet army of the former Northeast Army in Zhishan.

The strength of the Japanese army consisted of only two infantry brigades and one tank brigade. ”

"Oh? Yu Zhishan's puppet army? Qiao Youhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked, "Does Haidong have any plans?" ”

"yes." Liu Jianhua said: "The commander of the first regiment said in the telegram that according to the information they have, the Japanese puppet army has been dispatched in a big way and is advancing to the area of Cihe, and it seems that they are planning to attack the first regiment defense area. He hoped that we would be able to turn back and cooperate with a regiment to take out the Japanese tank and combat vehicle brigade first.

and then work together to annihilate this Japanese puppet army. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and stood up and walked around, thought for a while and said: "Call back to a group, we will go back immediately, the breakthrough in this battle is still in this battle!" The 21st Division will be unable to support this support army that eats the devil, and it will be difficult to support it, so let's see what he can do to attack our base area! ”
