Because it was necessary to make a detour to avoid the Japanese puppet army's guard post in the north of the city, Zhao Tiezhu's cavalry battalion went out of the city through the south gate.

At the same time, in the headquarters of the devil 2.5 kilometers north of the city, the lights were bright, and the commander of the 1st Division, Isamu Yokoyama, the chief of staff, Nakakurume, and the commander of the 26th Division, An Da 23, the chief of staff, and other senior officers gathered together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the attack of the Imperial Cooperative Army during the day was unsuccessful, it also greatly consumed the ammunition and body of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and they must be very tired now, so the Imperial Cooperative Army still has some effect.

Now I've decided to launch a sneak attack on the people of China at night and see if it can work wonders! Yokoyama sat upright, his eyes narrow, and he glanced at the crowd.

Anda Twenty-three said: "Does Governor Yokoyama mean to send the imperial army to conduct a night attack?" ”

"That's right, of course it's the warriors of the Empire, counting on the gang of rubbish under Cha Maha, even if they have the opportunity, they will be wasted by them!" Yokoyama Yumichi.

"In that case, please Commander Yokoyama give the troops under the humble rank a chance, and the night attack troops will be dispatched by my 26th Division." Anda Twenty-Three took the initiative to ask for help.

Yokoyama Isamu and his chief of staff, Major General Nakakurume, glanced at each other, and then nodded: "Since Anda-kun you took the initiative to ask for help, then I would be respectful and obey the order, and the attack force will be dispatched by your department, hoping that you can send the most elite team to strive to break through the defense line of the Shina people in one fell swoop."

I will organize the main force, and then respond, as soon as your assault force makes progress, immediately launch a major attack and capture Dingzhou City! ”

…………

Dingzhou City, inside the Dragon's Tooth Headquarters.

After Zhao Tiezhu left, Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the First Brigade, came to the headquarters and said to Qiao Youhua with a smile: "Commander, do we need to do something in the night attack tonight?" ”

Qiao Youhua shook his head and said: "No, you regiment must be vigilant to prevent devils from attacking at night, I have arranged for the tank units of the tank regiment to be on standby at any time, if there is a real attack, they and the anti-aircraft artillery unit will support you as soon as possible and give the enemy the most fierce fire blow." ”

Liu Yidao said a little disapprovingly: "Commander, are we suspicious, night battles are our Eighth Route Army's forte, and we have fought with devils so many times, and we really haven't encountered them taking the initiative to launch an attack at night." ”

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and said to Liu Yidao slowly: "Yidao, you remember, it's not that the devils can't fight at night, but all along, they have always occupied an absolute advantage in strength, compared to the night and daytime, their weapons and equipment, air, and ground artillery advantages can be better played."

Therefore, night battles are rarely chosen.

And if we had enough strength to crush our opponents, I wouldn't have risked attacking at night, and would have used our firepower to the fullest during the day.

Now the situation is different, our superiority in firepower on the local battlefield can already be said to be more than or equal to the devils, and in the case that it is difficult to work head-on during the day, a sneak attack at night has become a very likely occurrence. ”

"Oh, that makes sense, I see." Liu Yidao nodded suddenly in understanding.

Qiao Youhua smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, don't be too slack tonight, return to the command headquarters, and be vigilant." Go ahead! ”

"Yes!" Liu Yidao stiffly stood up and saluted, turned around and strode away.

Seeing the tiger general under his command leave, Qiao Youhua, who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog, secretly said in his heart, it seems that these senior officers under his command are brave and brave, but they still lack some resourcefulness, it is time to train a group of excellent intellectual young officers to make up for the lack of combat commanders in the army.

However, for the time being, we will have to wait until the battle is over.

After Zhao Tiezhu led the cavalry battalion out of the city from the south of the city, he marched all the way to the southwest, walking for about ten miles, completely bypassing the field fortifications of Dingzhou City and the north of the city that stuck the north-south communication artery.

With the help of the cover of the dark night, he quietly approached in the direction of the camp of the devil and the puppet army.

Because it has been stationed and fighting here in Dingzhou for a long time, compared with the puppet cavalry and devils who came from afar, the cavalry battalion led by Zhao Tiezhu is much more familiar with the terrain in this area.

Zhao Tiezhu held an MP38 submachine gun and rode his horse to the front, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, give me a hard beating, as long as it appears in front of us, whether it is a devil or a puppet army, it will be killed by Lao Tzu!" ”

"Yes!" Nearly 1,000 dragon tooth cavalrymen responded with their guns in their hands, holding a gun in one hand and controlling their horses in the other hand to follow Zhao Tiezhu and gallop forward.

After about a few minutes, a team of puppet cavalry patrolling the area noticed the anomaly and greeted them with torches, without giving them a chance to question.

The submachine gun in the hand of Zhao Tiezhu, who was still galloping forward on horseback, was the first to fire, and the nearest dozens of cavalry soldiers behind him also followed suit.

A large amount of scorching dense bullet rain poured out at once.

Puff puff...... The sound of bullets shooting into the body of the puppet army kept ringing out, ahhhh......h A terrible scream rang out in the night with the dense gunfire.

There were only a dozen people in this small group of puppet army patrols, and they didn't even see how many opponents there were, whether they were cavalry or infantry, and they were shot and killed by a dense rain of bullets.

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night, and the devils and puppet troops near the junction were all alarmed, but before they could make any effective response, Zhao Tiezhu led more than 1,000 cavalry to kill like a whirlwind.

Thousands of MP38 submachine guns fired one after another, and in the dark night, the dense rain of bullets was like a hot tongue of fire spewed out from time to time, and thousands of bullets shot at the devils and puppet soldiers in panic like locusts flying in the sky, all the way invincible, blocking all deaths.

…………

The command of the devil heard the sound of gunfire and explosions, it was already a few minutes later, at this time, the junction of the puppet army and the devil in the west had been led by the cavalry under the command of Zhao Tiezhu, breaking through more than 200 meters, and the puppet army and the devil suffered heavy casualties, and the formation was in chaos.

Even the elite of the 26th Division, which was preparing to launch a night attack on the position of the Dragon's Tooth Column, was shocked and was in a state of tension, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Isamu Yokoyama and Anda 23 were waiting for the implementation of the night attack of the 26th Division at the command headquarters, and there were dense gunfire outside, and the two old devils stood up in unison.

Yokoyama's face changed and said, "Where did the guns come from, Anda-kun, did your troops start to act?" ”

Anda Twenty-Three frowned and said, "It's not like yes, besides, the direction of this gunshot is not right." ”

While the two were talking, Nakakurume, the chief of staff of the 1st Division, who had just gone out to inspect, suddenly ran in from outside in a hurry.

Seeing Yokoyama Yong open his mouth, he said: "Your Excellency the division commander is not good, there is a sneak attack by the cavalry of the dragon's tooth column!" ”
