The rumbling cannons, dense gunshots, and mixed shouts and killings were endless, with the entire Hengshui City as the center, constantly diffusing and spreading to the surroundings for a long time.

Behind a courtyard wall inside the East Gate, where the fierce fighting was fierce, Sakai Ritsuzo and a group of officers under him were hiding here, and from time to time shells fell around them and exploded, splashing countless pieces of earth and dust.

A Japanese soldier suddenly braved artillery fire and gunpowder smoke and trotted along the courtyard wall with his head down, came to Sakai Ritsuzo, and said anxiously before saluting: "Your Excellency General, the firepower of the people outside the city is too fierce, and the imperial army has suffered heavy casualties, so it is impossible to break through the siege!" ”

At this time, another Japanese lieutenant also said with an anxious face: "General, the blocking line behind us is almost overwhelmed!" You can hold on for another ten minutes at most. ”

In fact, without their urging, Sakai Rizo could also hear the gunfire and artillery in the three directions of the northwest and south behind him, and the explosion was getting closer and closer.

Outside the city, it was impossible to break through, and more than 1,000 fresh troops had lost more than half of them by now. Sakai Ritsuzo felt a sense of despair that he had never felt before.

Disheartened, he suddenly drew his saber, apparently intending to cut himself.

An adjutant officer hurriedly raised his hand and pressed him, and persuaded: "Your Excellency, General, it's not the last moment, please don't give up!" ”

Sakai Ritsuzo's eyes were full of despair, and he said gloomily, "What hope is there?" ”

The adjutant said in a hurry: "General, there is!" We can concentrate explosives, blow up a section of the city wall, and then take the opportunity to organize our troops to break out, and the Chinese army would never have imagined that we would break through like this. The direction of the breakthrough was chosen on the northeast corner, where is the junction of the encirclement of the Chinese army, the weak point. ”

As soon as the adjutant said this, the eyes of Sakai Ritsuzo and the other devil officers lit up obviously.

…………

About three to five minutes later, a section of the city wall north of the east gate suddenly exploded violently, and the rumbling explosions sounded one after another, sending up a large cloud of dust and smoke.

Before the billowing smoke and dust dissipated, hundreds of the last devil soldiers quietly swarmed out of the gap in the blasted city wall with guns.

Sakai Ritsuzo and others were also caught in it.

"Deputy battalion commander, no, where are the little devils going to break through!" A second lieutenant platoon commander ran to the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Regiment and pointed to the road wall where a violent explosion had just occurred.

The deputy battalion commander was already attracted by the explosion over there, and was holding up a telescope to watch, which was several hundred meters away from the blocking position of the three regiments outside the east gate, which was beyond the effective range of many guns.

Even the general-purpose machine gun, so far and fierce, it is difficult to maintain efficient killing, and the devil has really chosen the right place to carry out the blasting breakthrough from there.

However, the deputy battalion commander was not worried at all, he looked at it for a while, then put away the binoculars and said to the second lieutenant platoon commander beside him: "Don't worry about them, the cavalry battalion is almost here, and they can't escape!" Order all companies and platoons to launch an all-out attack, seize the east gate first, and clean up the remaining enemies in the city. ”

"Yes!" When the second lieutenant platoon commander heard this, he immediately relieved himself.

Sakai Lizo broke out of Hengshui with three or four hundred remnants of his army, and ran wildly all the way to the wilderness in the northeast, escaping about two or three kilometers before an adjutant caught up with him out of breath and said, "Your Excellency General, we have finally succeeded in breaking through!" ”

Sakai Lizo also stopped, a little panting, looked back at Hengshui City, which had disappeared, and said with a feeling of emotion for the rest of his life after the catastrophe: "Yo Xi, retreat in the direction of Texas immediately!" ”

All the devil officers and soldiers are exhausted, and at this moment they are all supported by a survival instinct.

At that moment, there was the rumbling sound of horses' hooves striking the earth behind them.

Sakai Ritsuzo and the devil soldiers around him all changed their faces when they heard the sound, and when they looked back, the pupils of a devil lieutenant suddenly constricted, full of horror, and immediately screamed at the top of their throats: "Yaga, it's not good, it's the cavalry of the Chinese army!" ”

Three or four hundred devil remnants suddenly rioted, they had just escaped and fell into endless despair at this time, everyone knew what it would be like to be caught up by a cavalry force at this time.

Sakai Ritsuzo was even more desperate, gritted his teeth, he Huo Ran pulled out his command knife and roared: "Warriors, fight for the honor of the imperial soldiers, kill Gaga!" Fight to the death against the people of China! ”

Although the remaining devil soldiers were frightened, they did not dare to disobey Sakai Ritsuzo's orders, and immediately dispersed and launched a final charge against the surging dragontooth cavalry.

Riding on the war horse, feeling the rapidly retreating land and surrounding scenery, Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu saw that the devil was not running away, but rushing in the opposite direction.

They immediately took the lead in opening the safety of their submachine guns, pulling the bolt, and getting ready to shoot.

Hundreds of dragon tooth iron horsemen followed suit without instructions, and hundreds of war horses marched in unison, constantly rumbling forward with a crushing momentum.

Both the momentum and the momentum had to overshadow the hundreds of devil infantry countless times, and soon, the two sides entered the absolute effective range of two hundred meters.

Liu Jianhua was the first to pull the trigger and shouted: "Brothers, give me a hard beating!" ”

In the next moment, hundreds of Mp38 submachine guns roared one after another, and under the scorching dazzling tongues of fire, thousands of bullets formed a dense network of firepower and poured head-on towards the devil crowd.

Ahh......hhh Countless bullets rushed to the face, and the devil suddenly screamed one after another, and people continued to fall down from bullets.

After a fierce fire covered the blow, hundreds of dragon tooth cavalry had already ridden their horses and swords into the remaining devil crowd, and began to slash and slash like a tiger into a flock of sheep.

One after another devil soldiers were chopped alive, killed by war horses, trampled to death, and after a battle like chopping melons and vegetables, these devil soldiers all fell, and the entire battlefield was full of corpses of devil soldiers, dead and wounded, and rivers of blood.

Sakai Ritsuzo also failed to escape, in the melee, he was first knocked away by a dragon tooth cavalry's war horse, and in mid-air, he was cut off by Zhao Tiezhu, who happened to ride by with a sharp saber, and turned into two half corpses.

The battle on this side has just ended, and the battle on the side of Hengshui City has finally ended, and the Dragon Tooth Column has regained Hengshui City along the way, and the remnants of the Japanese army in the city have been completely wiped out.

Qiao Youhua left part of the troops of the second regiment to garrison, and was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, and personally led the third regiment, the guard battalion and the main force of the second regiment to continue eastward along Hengshui.

And Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu also followed Qiao Youhua's instructions and led the cavalry to rush towards Dezhou non-stop.

Although Qiao Youhua's eastward expansion plan did not capture the link of Texas, he needed to implement a feint attack on Texas to ensure that the rear road of his eastward main force was not threatened.
