Chapter 501: Japanese reinforcements

After marching all the way, Qiao Youhua and the others led the cavalry battalion to finally arrive outside Xinle City.

"Commander, it will take another twenty minutes for Commander Chiang's regiment to arrive, shall we wait for them to arrive before attacking?" Liu Jianhua came to Qiao Youhua's side and said.

Qiao Youhua raised his binoculars and looked at the city wall of Xinle County in the distance, and muttered: "Don't wait for them, the cavalry battalion will leave the reconnaissance cavalry company on guard, and the rest of the companies will immediately dismount and attack the city!" ”

"Yes." Liu Jianhua suddenly agreed, and was the first to take the lead in turning over and dismounting, and began to deploy an attack.

In the city, after Zhao Haipeng came out of the garrison headquarters with palpitations, in order to show a better appearance, so as not to be hated by Daoyu in the future, he immediately took about a platoon of puppet soldiers and several subordinate officers to inspect the city defense.

Outside the city, about 600 cavalry battalion soldiers had all dismounted and were ready.

After obtaining Qiao Youhua's consent, the battalion commander Liu Jianhua personally led them to rush towards the south gate, intending to launch an attack from the south gate.

The total number of devils in the city is only more than 100 people, and Shimayu Nakasa left a team at the headquarters, which is equivalent to half of the troops, and the rest of the Japanese troops are all at the north gate.

The reason why this deployment is just in case, if the puppet army turns against the water, he can ensure that he has enough troops around him to protect him, and kill from the north gate controlled by his own people to break out of the encirclement.

In the final analysis, the Japanese do not trust the imperial allegories like Zhao Haipeng.

The remaining three gates were deployed by Zhao Haipeng's puppet army, each gate was about 100 people, and when Jiang Haidong led the cavalry battalion to the south gate, Zhao Haipeng and they had just arrived at the east gate.

This siege did not have any fancy tricks, because the follow-up troops would arrive soon, and the cavalry battalion was well equipped, and there were more troops than the Japanese puppet army, so it was only necessary to suppress it with firepower.

When they appeared in the sight of the puppet army at the head of the city, Liu Jianhua and the bearded man took the lead in firing, and the light machine guns, submachine guns and horse pistols in the hands of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion also opened fire one after another.

The dense bullets suddenly rained towards the city, and several puppet soldiers who just wanted to shoot were shot and fell to the ground on the spot, and the rest were all so frightened that they hurriedly squatted down and hid behind the battlement wall.

Dense bullets struck the walls and gates, bursting with dazzling sparks and clanging sounds.

Although there were still many puppet troops in the south city gate, they were all suppressed by the fierce firepower of the dragon tooth cavalry battalion outside the city.

With the help of fire suppression and cover, Jiang Haidong immediately ordered a group of soldiers to rush in the direction of the city gate with explosives bags and cluster grenades.

On the east gate, Zhao Haipeng and his subordinates were shocked by the sudden gunshots, and he said with horror on his face: "******, it can't really be the Dragon Tooth Task Force calling, right?" ”

A platoon commander next to him said with a panicked expression: "Captain, what should we do?" ”

"Let's go, hurry to the south gate, we must not let them come in, then it will be all over, and send someone to inform Daoyu Taijun and ask him to bring reinforcements!" Zhao Haipeng responded in a hurry.

Immediately, with a full hundred people, he ran quickly along the city wall to the south gate, when he had just walked half the way with the people.

Several demomen from the cavalry battalion had successfully detonated the city gate, and the entire city gate was instantly enveloped in scorching flames, and it was instantly blown apart.

The huge earthquake also knocked some of the puppet soldiers hiding at the head of the city to the ground, and some were directly shocked to death.

When the city gate opened, Liu Jianhua and the bearded man immediately took the lead, shouting and rushing over.

At the same time, the island in the city also heard the news with a small team of Japanese troops from the headquarters and quickly arrived, but Jiang Haidong and they had successfully broken through the resistance of the puppet army at the south gate and broke into the city.

The dozens of surviving puppet soldiers in the city were killed with a river of blood, dead and wounded, and fought head-on with Zhao Haipeng, who led people to arrive.

Liu Jianhua commanded the main force to attack the city along the streets, and continued to attack forward, and encountered the Daoyu Nakasa Department head-on on the streets, and the fierce fire was fired, and the Japanese army, which was only one-tenth of the number of officers and soldiers of the dragon's teeth, was quickly suppressed, and suffered heavy casualties.

The rest of the devils were beaten and retreated, and Daoyu Nakasa saw that there was nothing to do, so he immediately turned around and took the lead in withdrawing to the north gate with a few henchmen.

Zhao Tiezhu did not enter the city, but took more than a hundred cavalry soldiers to detour from the east and west directions of Xinle, intending to outflank and intercept any Japanese puppet army that wanted to escape from the city.

Qiao Youhua did not enter the battle, and when he saw Liu Jianhua and the others easily breaking through the city defense with their troops and attacking the city, he lit a cigarette and smoked leisurely.

As the gunfire of the fierce battle in the city gradually faded away, the puppet army of the east and west gates was also defeated by the cavalry battalions that were divided into troops to attack, and they all retreated in the direction of the north gate.

The battle was almost over, and at this time, Zhao Tiezhu suddenly swarmed from the direction of the north gate with his cavalry, and went straight to Qiao Youhua, and said in a somewhat anxious tone: "Commander, it's not good, a large number of Japanese puppet troops were found about three kilometers north of Xinle, with a strength of at least four or five thousand people, as well as tanks and armored vehicles!"

I'm hurrying towards here, and I'm just talking about it. ”

"Four or five thousand days of puppet army? And tank armored vehicles? Qiao Youhua couldn't help frowning when he heard this, at this time, the devil still has reinforcements?

Without thinking too much, Qiao Youhua immediately made an adjustment and said: "Immediately send someone to inform Battalion Commander Liu to withdraw from the battle immediately, and the communication troops will send another telegram to the regiment, so that they can stop going north, find suitable and favorable terrain on the spot, build a field defensive position, and meet us!" Let's go and meet them. ”

As a traverser, Qiao Youhua knew that tanks and armored troops were simply disastrous enemy nemesis for cavalry, and they must not be confronted by them.

Zhao Tiezhu and the communication soldiers responded violently, and quickly acted separately according to the order.

Inside the city, Shima Yu Nakasa had already withdrawn to the main gate, but was told by the defenders in the north of the city that there were cavalry of the Zhina Army cruising outside the city, and he was immediately disheartened and planned to stick to the north of the city to fight to the end.

At this moment, the guns and shouts that were approaching suddenly stopped, and the entire county quickly returned to calm.

Shima U Nakasa asked the Japanese puppet army who had just withdrawn from the city in confusion: "What's the matter?" What about the Chinese army? ”

"Sir, the Chinese army has retreated." A grizzled devil soldier replied in shock.

"Nani? Retreated? When Dao Yu was confused, a squad leader behind him also pointed out of the city in surprise and said, "Sir, the cavalry of the Zhina Army has also withdrawn." ”

Daoyu immediately turned around, raised the telescope and looked at it for a while, frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up and suddenly said: "It should be the reinforcements of the imperial army that have arrived!" That's why the people stopped attacking and took the initiative to evacuate. ”
