Bang! Bang! Bang! After the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city found that the second dragon tooth regiment was approaching the city gate, they threw grenades from the city head one after another, and the sudden explosion immediately blew several dragon tooth blasters to the ground.

The shock wave of one of the grenades coincidentally detonated the explosive bag in the hands of one of the Demomen. An even louder explosion rang out.

The explosion caused the other explosive packs to detonate, causing massive damage to the other Dragon's Tooth infantry in the city who were covering the Demoman's battle.

In an instant, dozens of dragon tooth warriors were shaken to the ground by the violent shock wave, and several fighters near the center of the explosion were shattered and died on the spot.

In the distance, Zhou Dasheng, the deputy commander of the regiment, witnessed this qiē, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the attack was supposed to be successful, but he didn't expect such a reversal to occur at this juncture.

However, anger was anger, and Zhou Dasheng also knew that nothing could be done, so he ordered the troops to temporarily retreat and suspend the attack.

He had to wait for the regiment commander Ma Biao to arrive with the main force, and then attack together.

At the same time, the cavalry battalion, which had been under Qiao Youhua's remote command and was maneuvering and waiting for opportunities in the area from Hengshui to Raoning, also discovered their new target.

That is, the Japanese puppet army that went south from Cangzhou and other places, and the devils and puppet army who went south from Cangzhou and Tianjin belonged to the Eastern Route Army, with a total strength of more than 100,000.

Originally, the Japanese puppet army had already followed the latest decision of the North China Front Army Headquarters, adopted the tactics of steady and steady attack, gradually advanced to the Shimen area, formed an encirclement with the Western Route Army, and leveled the anti-Japanese base area of the Longya Column in one fell swoop.

However, he suddenly received a telegram from the remnants of the Hengshui garrison asking for help, and after sending a telegram to the headquarters of the North China Front, the Japanese puppet army on the East Road sent reinforcements according to the order and rushed to Hengshui to support.

The stone gate has been lost, and Hengshui must not be lost again, otherwise wouldn't it be even more difficult to encircle and suppress the Longya anti-Japanese column next?

It was not that Sugiyama Moto, Kawabe Shozo and other high-level Japanese officials in North China were careless, but they did not expect that after capturing Shimen and completely annihilating the 21st Division, the Longya Column would still have the strength to attack Hengshui.

In their opinion, how about it, the 21st Division can also inflict heavy damage on the Dragon's Tooth Column.

In fact, the casualties of the Dragon's Tooth Column were not large at all, and such a result was due to Qiao Youhua, Ma Biao, and Wu Ming's advanced tactical command that transcended time and space, as well as the German and British weapons equipped by the Dragon's Tooth Column, which were also much more advanced than the Japanese-style equipment, which was enough to help the Dragon's Tooth soldiers firmly gain the upper hand in the firepower of both sides.

There are cavalry scouts deployed at all times, and as soon as the Japanese puppet army striker arrives in Fucheng, the border area of Wuqiang and Wuqiang counties, Liu Jianhua learned the news and quickly reported it to Qiao Youhua who was far away in Shimen by radio.

Qiao Youhua immediately gave instructions and ordered him and Zhao Tiezhu to quickly lead the cavalry battalion to take the initiative to attack, intercept the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army, and cover the capture of Hengshui by the 2nd Regiment of Longya.

At the same time, Qiao Youhua sent a telegram to Ma Biao, informing him of this emergency and instructing him to capture Hengshui as much as possible.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu immediately led the cavalry battalion to set off and met a puppet cavalry head-on on the road south of Fucheng County.

This puppet cavalry was originally an anti-Japanese unit of the Jin Sui Army in the area of the Pingsui Railway Line, and later responded to Wang Jingwei's treason and defected to the enemy and became a traitor army.

Transferred from Suiyuan by the Japanese army in North China, this time Hengshui was in an emergency, as cavalry, they were naturally sent to the front by the devils, and there were several devil officers in the team to supervise, and they rushed along the road to Hengshui.

The total strength of this puppet cavalry was nearly 2,000 people, and the cavalry battalion discovered each other almost at the same time.

Therefore, under the urging of several Japanese officers, they raised their sabers and spears and took the initiative to attack the Longya cavalry battalion.

Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu stopped the cavalry battalion temporarily, running all the way, they were already sleepy and tired.

Listening to the frantic shouts of nearly 2,000 puppet cavalrymen, Liu Jianhua sneered while pulling the bolt of his submachine gun: "This gang of miscellaneous crumbs is quite kind!" Dare to take the initiative to attack us! ”

Zhao Tiezhu also sneered with disdain: "They don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin!" ”

After a short rest, Liu Jianhua held his submachine gun diagonally in one hand, turned his horse's head and said aloud to the dragon tooth cavalry who were waiting behind him: "Brothers, this gang of dog traitors on the other side doesn't know whether they are alive or dead, and they actually take the initiative to attack us!" Draw your sabers and hold on to your submachine guns!

Rush up with me and show them what a real elite cavalry is! ”

After speaking, Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu took the lead in drawing their sabers, and hundreds of dragon tooth cavalry followed suit, and the sound of sabers unsheathed was endless for a while.

Hundreds of sharp sabers glowed with a chilling glow under the sunlight, and the dragon's tooth cavalry warriors had cold faces without the slightest fluctuation in their expressions, as the only cavalry unit of the dragon's tooth column, and also the only cavalry unit equipped with the most advanced submachine guns on the land of China.

They are almost sure to win every battle, and even the Japanese cavalry doesn't know how many they have destroyed, so how can they be afraid of those puppet cavalry who have betrayed the country and defected to the enemy?

In their eyes, these puppet cavalry were nothing more than a group of living targets rushing over to their deaths.

In fact, equipping the cavalry with submachine guns was definitely an excellent equipment on the Chinese battlefield at this time, because first of all, the density of artillery and armored vehicles on the Chinese battlefield was not as good as that of Europe, and the roads were also inferior.

Cavalry, a class that should have been eliminated in the hot weapon war a long time ago, was able to survive in a specific environment on the Chinese battlefield.

Originally, the cavalry was equipped with a horse gun, and even if it was a skilled and experienced veteran, it was difficult to ensure the accuracy of shooting when the horse was running.

The cavalry, as the name suggests, is a class of troops that uses mobility to launch a sudden attack, and the single-shot carbine is really inefficient in shooting, but it is not the same when they are equipped with submachine guns that can fire in bursts.

The submachine gun's continuous firepower compensated for the lack of shooting accuracy due to the jolting of the horses, and with this powerful continuous firepower, it could inflict great effective damage to the enemy both while running and when the cavalry of both sides intersected.

This is an important factor in the invincibility of the Longya Cavalry Battalion, so Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu are so handy when they fight, and the officers and men of the cavalry battalion deeply feel the importance of submachine guns to them, and they are even more impressed by Qiao Youhua's arrangement.

When the puppet cavalry rushed to within two miles of them, Liu Jianhua raised his saber and shouted: "Cavalry battalion! Offensive!!! ”
