Qiao Youhua was taken aback, looked at Liu Yidao and asked, "How many defenders do we have in Anguo County and Bowang Town?" Is there a radio or telephone line in Bowang Town that can be contacted directly? ”

Liu Yidao glanced at the telegram and replied: "Anguo has two mixed battalions of our First Brigade and more than 1,000 militiamen, totaling more than 3,000 troops. However, Bowang Town has less than half a company, sixty or seventy people, and the troops are weak.

Radio station, Anguo County has it, Bowang Town should only have a telephone. ”

Qiao Youhua instructed: "Immediately send a telegram to Anguo County, and ask them to call and ask the defenders of Xia Bowang how the firepower of the Japanese army attacking them is, and how many troops there are, and then report it immediately!" ”

Encirclement and reinforcements, Qiao Youhua has not been used on devils before, so when he learned that the small place of Bowang Town was attacked, he did not rush to order the nearest county seat to send reinforcements, but to understand the situation exactly in case he fell for the devil.

Liu Yidao nodded, took the order, and after just three minutes, he went and returned, and said to Qiao Youhua: "Commander, the Anguo County Command has called, saying that they have lost contact with the defenders of Bowang Town, and now they can't know the specific situation such as whether Bowang Town has been lost." ”

Qiao Youhua frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "The telegram ordered the Anguo garrison to immediately send cavalry liaison personnel to rush to the Bowang area to find out the situation." Prior to this, all the defenders in the city were not allowed to act rashly, they only needed to be vigilant and strictly guard against the sneak attack of devils. ”

Liu Yidao said a little worriedly: "If we don't send troops to reinforce Bowang Town in time, it is likely that it will be lost quickly, and the defenders will probably suffer as well." ”

Qiao Youhua said: "A knife, have you thought about it, if the devil really plans to take Bowang, a town guarded by less than a hundred people, then even if we send reinforcements with all our strength now, it will be too late, and before we arrive, Bowang will definitely be lost."

And, on the other hand, what if the goal of the Japanese army is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, or to divert the tiger from the mountain? Isn't that just a trick of the Japanese army? ”

Liu Yidao nodded in agreement, but he couldn't bear to say: "But, are we just sitting back and watching the devils capture Bowang Town and destroy our own troops?" ”

Qiao Youhua said: "As a soldier, it is my duty to sacrifice for the country, if it really comes to that moment, there is nothing to say, take up arms and fight the invaders raised by the son of a son of a girl until the last moment."

If all the defenders of Bowang Town were to die, I would not let their sacrifices be in vain. Regardless of whether the devils who attacked Bowang Town or the Japanese special combat team that attacked Ranzhuang Town or not, I will make them pay the price of blood and let them know that the defense area of my dragon tooth column is not to come and leave if you want to! ”

Since Qiao Youhua had already said so, of course Liu Yidao didn't want to say anything, so he had to turn around and leave to convey Qiao Youhua's order.

But Qiao Youhua waved his hand to Li Yansan, who was not far away, and beckoned him to him. Li Yansan immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Commander, what do you tell me to command?" ”

"Go and pass my order, the tank team will immediately march in the direction of Bowang Town, and be sure to arrive at the target area within five hours!" Qiao Youhua lowered his voice and ordered: "Tell the commander who leads the team, after arriving at the destination area, report to me immediately and wait for my instructions!" ”

"Yes. I'll go right away. Li Yansan suddenly agreed, turned around and ran away.

After receiving Qiao Youhua's order, the tank detachment composed of four No. 4 tanks, which had been cruising in the area from the east of Dingzhou to the central area of Anguo, immediately marched rapidly in the direction of Anguo, and arrived near the county seat of Anguo in only two hours, circled the city, and went straight to the destination of Bowang Town.

At the same time, the battle situation in Bowang Town was still ongoing, and the Japanese troops who attacked here were none other than a small detachment led by Akira Hatoyama, numbering about 100 people.

If calculated according to the combat effectiveness, based on the strength of Hatoyama Ming's troops, it is a sneak attack, and the sixty or seventy dragon tooth defenders in Bowang Town will definitely not be able to hold on to the present.

It's just that Hatoyama Ming's task is to make a feint to attract the Anguo defenders out of the city, and create an opportunity for the main force led by the riverside wild to attack the city or send reinforcements.

Therefore, the battle situation has been stalemate until now, although the gunfire is intensive, the casualties of the dragon's tooth defenders are not large, and the fortifications built outside the town have not been lost, but the telephone line to contact the outside world has been found and destroyed by the devil special combat team.

About ten miles northeast of Anguo County, in the woods near a road leading to Bowang Town, more than 400 elite Japanese troops led by the river were waiting for an opportunity here.

The county seat of Anguo is less than thirty miles away from Bowang Town, and the wild people by the river choose to stay here and wait for the opportunity, either to surround the point and send reinforcements, or to let the reinforcements pass, and then take advantage of the reinforcements to reinforce Bowang, to attack the empty Anguo County.

This qiē depends on how the dragon tooth defenders in Anguo County deal with it.

It's just that what the old devil who didn't expect by the river was that he waited for more than two hours, and he didn't see any movement from the dragon's tooth defenders in Anguo City, and only occasionally sent some scouts out.

Although many scouts were killed by the elite scouts sent by the riverside wild, the riverside wild gradually became a little unbreathable, and he never thought that the defenders would be indifferent to the attack on Bowang and would not send a single soldier to reinforce it.

If this continues, then this plan will not be implemented smoothly, and Hatoyama can only order Hatoyama Akira to quickly break through Bowang Town and eliminate the defenders inside.

Capturing a town defended by less than 100 men is obviously not enough to satisfy the appetite for the wild riverside.

Just as he was anxiously thinking about countermeasures, a scout special combat soldier walked over from outside the woods and saluted him: "Your Excellency, General, no, four tanks and combat vehicles have suddenly appeared and are heading towards us!" ”

The wild face by the river turned grim and said, "What? The chariot of China? How did they end up here? How far are we from it? ”

The devil scout said: "When they found them, they had already passed at least two kilometers through Anguo County, and now it is estimated that we are only three or four miles away. ”

After hearing this, the face of the wild man by the river became extremely solemn, only a distance of more than 2,000 meters, and now it was too late to dig and build an anti-tank ambush position, and his special combat team was not equipped with anti-tank weapons.

As a matter of fact, even if they had been prepared for anti-tank weapons in this era, it was impossible for them to carry them with the army, especially the small special operations units that fought deep behind enemy lines and pulled a few anti-aircraft guns away, which was obviously unrealistic.

You can't let your soldiers ambush four notorious Shina tanks with submachine guns and grenades, right? Riverside Wild is caught in a dilemma.
