Chapter 603: Turning the tide
On the three streets in the city, Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to finally meet head-on with the reinforcements commanded by the Japanese army Shao Zuo.
The devils will also worry that the people who come in front will not be the ones who have withdrawn from their own side, so they will not fire immediately, but the Dragon Tooth Cavalry Battalion has no such concerns.
As long as they came from the city, they were definitely devils, so as soon as the two sides came into contact, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion immediately pulled the trigger and opened fire fiercely.
Originally, the firepower was much more powerful than the devil, and he seized the opportunity, so as soon as the fire was exchanged, the devil fell a large area, and there were heavy casualties.
The devil Shaozuo who took the lead still reacted quickly because of his sharp eyes, and hurriedly lay down, and luckily avoided the dense rain of bullets like locusts, and the subordinates behind him were not so lucky, and they fell down one after another screaming.
This devil Shaozuo ran to an alley on the side of the street, and just wanted to command his subordinates to fight back, but he saw a shocking scene, the cavalry on horseback on the street turned out to be all automatic weapons in their hands, including submachine guns and machine guns, and the firepower was extremely powerful.
The powerful almost made Re desperate, and under the cover of the continuous fire volley, the dozens of guards he brought with him did not even have a chance to shoot back, and in less than a minute, they were shot one after another and fell one after another, and in the end, there was no one left.
The devil Shaozuo was completely frightened and stupid, ******, is this the Chinese army that is about to collapse in his impression? The firepower is so powerful? In front of them, the Imperial Army of Japan didn't even have a chance to fight back?
In fact, things are not as terrifying as Devil Shaozuo thought, mainly because there were only forty or fifty people under him at this time, and most of them were equipped with single-shot manual Type 38 rifles.
On the other hand, there were more than 100 dragon tooth cavalry, all of which were equipped with German-style general-purpose machine guns or submachine guns, and they fired first, seizing the opportunity. In terms of personnel and firepower, they have all taken advantage of the local absolute superiority.
In such a situation, not to mention dozens of devil soldiers with backward equipment, even a group of German soldiers came, and they were only abused by thousands of bullets.
Seeing that the defeat was decided, and he was powerless to return to the sky, this devil Shaozuo had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he actually lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
After eliminating the devil soldiers on the street in front of them, the dragon's tooth cavalry continued to swarm forward while changing magazines, and sure enough, they didn't notice him.
This devil Shaozuo immediately turned over and got up, bent his waist, and took advantage of the night to run wildly in the direction of the north gate.
In the end, he was lucky enough to take advantage of the chaos to escape.
The other devils in the city were also quickly routed by the swarming dragon tooth cavalry battalion, catching up and annihilated, due to the extremely fast speed of the dragon tooth cavalry, once the devil soldiers were routed in a head-on battle, few people were able to escape.
Basically, they were all caught up and killed, so after the final battle, less than ten devils were able to escape alive, and because of the suddenness of the incident, the escape of the devil Shaozuo made the Japanese army in the city lose its unified command.
There was not even a chance to warn the county seat of Anping.
After the gunfire dissipated, the Longya Cavalry Battalion basically controlled the entire Raoyang County, Liu Jianhua took a few cavalry soldiers to find Qiao Youhua and reported to him: "Commander, two Japanese military warehouses were found in the city, and a lot of materials were hoarded in them, although they were not as much as those in Hengshui, but they were not a small harvest. â
"Let the brethren pick grenades, shells and other ammunition that can be used, as well as canned food and other food, and take a batch, and destroy the others immediately, not a single bullet, not a grain of food, not a little devil! I'll leave you a hundred people, and I'll take the rest with you, and I'll go to Anping immediately."
Hengshui, Raoyang, Anping, as long as these three counties are all captured, they can basically destroy all the logistics bases of the Japanese puppet army on the east road, and then the entire Japanese puppet army on the east and west roads will become powerless because of the destruction of materials, and the situation will be completely reversed!
We can blow the horn of a counteroffensive. Qiao Youhua commanded.
Liu Jianhua immediately stepped forward and responded: "Yes! Please rest assured, Commander, that the mission will be completed, and you should be careful, Commander. â
"The devils are exhausted, and there are only four or five hundred little devils stationed in such an important place as Raoyang, how many troops can there be in an Anping county? We are a surprise attack, and we can definitely catch the little devils by surprise, so this battle is completely risk-free. Qiao Youhua said.
âŚâŚâŚâŚ
About half an hour later, Qiao Youhua led more than 400 cavalry battalion soldiers to rush all the way to the outside of Anping City.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the devils in Anping City had fallen asleep, and most of the patrol posts at the head of the city had also entered a state of fatigue, and their vigilance was very lax.
Adopting the same tactics as the attack on Raoyang, the cavalry battalion soldiers first suppressed the city head with firepower, and after blowing open the city gate with explosives, they swarmed into the city.
The battle process has not changed much from Rao Yang, and there are even some Shun lĂŹ, because most of the devils in the city are asleep at this time.
Many devils were awakened by the sound of gunfire and had just come out of the barracks' quarters, and before they could figure out what was going on, they were swept to the ground by the roaring dragontooth cavalry with dense fire.
At around eleven o'clock, the battle was over, and the county town of Anping fell into the hands of the Dragon's Tooth Column again.
Liu Jianhua also rushed from Raoyang with more than 100 cavalry at this time to join Qiao Youhua.
With a violent explosion, the last few munitions warehouses of the devils in Anping City were also blown up, and the flames that rose into the sky were still clearly visible until Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua withdrew from the city with their teams.
"Commander, this sortie, we can really say that we have won a big victory, and we have returned with a full load!" Liu Jianhua rode on a horse, looked at the blazing Anping County, retracted his gaze and couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Youhua nodded and didn't speak, he was worried about Zhao Tiezhu's small army of suspicious soldiers.
Liu Jianhua seemed to see his worries and asked, "Commander, do you want to bring someone to pick up Zhao Tiezhu and them?" â
Qiao Youhua shook his head and said: "No need, it is estimated that it will not be long before the devil will get the news, the main force of the Japanese army on the east road should return soon, and we will go to answer it now, not only can we not save Zhao Tiezhu and them, but we may also run into the main force of the devil."
Whether they can get out of danger can only depend on Zhao Tiezhu and their own. â
After a pause, Qiao Youhua cleaned up some of his depressed mood and said excitedly: "Okay, there are more important things waiting for us to do!" Let's go, go back to Shimen! â
Liu Jianhua replied suddenly: "Yes! â
The cavalry battalions fought continuously, needless to say, they were tired and tired, and the consumption of ammunition alone prompted them to go back and replenish them.
Therefore, if you want to continue to maintain your combat strength and fight, you can only go back to Shimen to replenish it first.
