The three tanks and chariots here defeated the mixed elite group of the Japanese army, annihilated them all, and then rushed to the Ranzhuang battlefield in front with seven cavalry soldiers.

By the time they arrived, the battle on the ambush position in Ranzhuang had ended, and traces of fierce battles could be seen everywhere, large and small craters everywhere, the wreckage of Japanese tanks that had not yet burned to the end, and the disgusting corpses of devil cavalry.

The air was filled with the pungent smoke of gunpowder mixed with the stench of blood, but the cavalry and tank soldiers were accustomed to it.

A cavalryman rode up to a tank and said to a captain with his head out: "It seems that our large army has defeated the devils, let's hurry up and see if we can help!" ”

The tank commander nodded, patted the roof of the tank under him, and said, "Go on, let's go and beat the water dogs." ”

Several cavalrymen rode away one after another, and three tanks also started one after another, spitting out green smoke from their tails, and roared through the bloody ambush battlefield and chased after them.

However, they were unable to catch up with the pursuit after all, and by the time they had caught up with the main force, the battle was over.

The units of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, which had lost the command of Isamu Yokoyama, fell into a chaotic situation in which the dragons were leaderless, and were defeated in the face of the joint pursuit of the troops directly under the Dragon's Tooth Column, the coordination of infantry and the cavalry.

In the end, nearly 100 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed to more than 80 percent, and more than 1,200 cavalry wings were wiped out!

Only a few tanks and a dozen armored vehicles escaped back to Baoding with Yokoyama alive, with a total strength of less than 100 people.

Qiao Youhua, Liu Jianhua, Zheng Yunshan, Liu Yidao and others led the soldiers to pursue them until they were less than five kilometers away from Baoding before they stopped the pursuit.

Lead the troops to clean up the battlefield while retreating to Ranzhuang Town!

Outside Ranzhuang Town, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the tank regiment, guard regiment, air defense regiment, cavalry battalion, 1st Brigade and 1st Infantry Regiment, were lined up in the wilderness.

Qiao Youhua climbed onto the roof of a tank truck that was in front of the queue, and his eyes swept around the thousands of soldiers in front of him.

From the bottom of his heart, he said, "Brothers, I am proud of you, I am proud of you, truly! Today's battle is so fucking fun!

And what about the Kwantung Army? And what about the armored units of the elite 1st division? Haven't we been down like this?

You are the best, the best and most elite army, the true kings of land warfare! With you here, why worry that the Japanese army will not be destroyed and the family and country will not be restored? ”

The thousands of dragon tooth soldiers below were all praised by Qiao Youhua's words, and their blood was boiling, as a soldier, there was nothing happier than being praised and promised by the commander.

Some soldiers even shed tears of excitement, and they could get Commander Qiao's praise, even if they died in battle, they had no regrets.

Liu Jianhua, Zheng Yunshan and others were also high-spirited and excited, and they annihilated an armored brigade of the 1st Division, known as the first elite of the Kwantung Army, and dealt a heavy blow to the devil.

Qiao Youhua continued: "Okay, I don't say that everyone should know that this time the Japanese invaders mobilized more than 200,000 people from the Kwantung Army and the puppet army outside the Guanwai, intending to encircle and suppress us again together with the Japanese army in North China.

In the battle of Ranzhuang Town, although we won a complete victory and achieved an unprecedented victory, the prelude to this anti-encirclement and suppression battle has just begun.

Therefore, I will keep in mind your achievements today, and when this battle is over, I will reward you together, and then all the departments will return to Dingzhou with me to rest, and prepare for the next battle! ”

After speaking, Qiao Youhua ordered Zheng Yunshan separately: "Yunshan, immediately electrify our victory in Ranzhuang to the whole army and encourage other combat troops!" ”

Zheng Yunshan hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, understood!" ”

Qiao Youhua jumped out of the tank, Liu Yidao and Liu Jianhua stepped forward together, Qiao Youhua asked, "What, you guys have something?" ”

The two glanced at each other, but Liu Jianhua spoke: "Commander, there is something unclear about the humble position. ”

"Say, it's not like your character to talk like this!" Qiao Youhua said with a smile as he took out a cigarette.

"I see that the geographical location of Ranzhuang Town is also good, should we leave at least one regiment of troops here as an outpost of the Dingzhou defense line, to guard against the possible next attack of the sluggish Japanese army?" Liu Jianhua expressed his opinion with him.

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and took two puffs and said: "You think too simply, first of all, the reason why we were able to catch the devil off guard in Ranzhuang Town is the result of a series of factors such as the devil's light on the enemy and our good lurking plan and so on.

The devil suffered a big loss in Ranzhuang, and he will definitely not be fooled again in the future, and he will hate this place to the core, and he will not be able to carry out a fierce retaliatory air raid here.

Secondly, the terrain of Ranzhuang Town is not very steep, and there is not much time left for us, and the main force of the devils is there, if you can't build enough complete fortifications before the devils attack, then there is no value in holding on to this place.

In addition, Ranzhuang is close to Baoding and far away from Dingzhou, if you leave troops to garrison, it is equivalent to hanging alone, and it is easy to be divided and surrounded by devils, lose contact with Dingzhou and other rear, and fall into danger.

Therefore, to sum up, it is better to give up fortunately and concentrate troops to withdraw to the area of Dingzhou, which has a strong city as the backing, where not only can there be a city to hold, but the surrounding terrain environment is also more conducive to defense than Ranzhuang Town.

The most important thing is to be closer to our logistical supply line, and to be able to connect with Anguo and Raoyang, which have been recovered by the main force of the 1st Brigade, to form a complete outer defense line. ”

After listening to Qiao Youhua's analysis, the two of them suddenly realized, and stood up and saluted Qiao Youhua with admiration: "Hearing what you said, Commander, the two of us were like an enlightenment, and we understood in an instant. ”

Qiao Youhua exhaled smoke and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, hurry up and carry out the order." ”

"Yes!" The two of them responded violently and turned to leave.

…………

In Hengshui City, thousands of dragon tooth soldiers, with the coordination of artillery, repelled the stubborn counterattack and resistance of the Japanese army in the city, and have captured half of the city.

Fierce fighting continues.

After receiving Qiao Youhua's good news, Jiang Haidong looked uplifted, and said to several officers around him: "Immediately inform the siege troops of this news, the commander they killed one of the most elite tank armored brigades of the Kwantung Army in Ranzhuang, and achieved an unprecedented victory. ”

Soon, on the front lines of the battle in the city, there were bursts of "Annihilate the Japanese and recover Hengshui!" Groups of dragon-tooth warriors chanted slogans and launched one charge after another against the remnants of the Japanese army.

In the direction of Dezhou City, the attack troops commanded by Wu Ming and Ma Biao finally broke through the field spinning line of the devils outside the city, and most of the devils and puppet troops outside the city were killed and wounded, and the corpses were everywhere, and only a small part fled back to the city in a hurry.

The troops of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of Longya took advantage of the situation to capture all the outlying positions of the Japanese army, and used them as a base for advance, surrounded Simen, and began to bombard the city walls, preparing for a large-scale siege of the city.

Wu Ming and Ma Biao respectively took their deputy brigade commander and other adjutants to the front line of the Japanese army positions that had just been fiercely fought and captured in a bloody battle, and to express their condolences and encouragement to the soldiers.

They had barely gone far along the bombed-out communication trench when a communications soldier chased after them, shouting as he ran: "Brigade commander, brigade commander, wait a minute, there is an urgent military situation!" ”

Ma Biao and Wu Ming were shocked when they heard this, glanced at each other, stopped and turned around, and soon, the communication soldiers came to the two.

Looking at the panting communication soldier, Ma Biao asked with a calm face: "In such a hurry, what is the military situation, hurry up." ”

The communication soldier breathed a little shortly: "Ranzhuang, Ranzhuang is a big victory!" As he spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Ma Biao.

Ma Biao took it and looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Haha, beautiful, the commander personally led all the regiments directly under him to fight a beautiful ambush battle in Ranzhuang, and almost annihilated an elite armored brigade of the Kwantung Army!" ”

Wu Ming took it and said, "Really? That's great! He is worthy of our dragon king! As soon as he made a move, he was extraordinary, the Oriental grandsons of the Kwantung Army, this should not be so arrogant, right? ”

"Whether the Kwantung Army is arrogant or not, let's not care about it for the time being, after taking Texas City, there will be a chance to clean them up! Now our top priority is to hurry up the siege of the city, strive to recover Texas as soon as possible, and annihilate the defenders in the city! Ma Biao said.

Wu Ming turned his head, glanced at Dezhou City, and said, "From the battle just now, it is not difficult to see that the devils should have a lot of garrisons in Dezhou, and they have been prepared for a long time.

Without the assistance of anti-aircraft artillery and tank units, if we insist on a strong attack, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large, and I am afraid that we will not be able to take it in a short time.

It's not as good as this, now it's almost dark now, you and I will personally lead a small elite force to raid at night, find a way to break into the city, and receive the main force into the city, so that it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, what do you think? ”

Ma Biao's personality is very similar to Qiao Youhua, he likes to take risks, and he makes dangerous moves, when he heard Wu Ming say this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said: "This idea is good, I haven't been in the line of fire to fight in person for a long time, and the bones of this body are about to rust, and it is time to move the muscles and bones, so that the little devil can taste the power of our triangular army thorns!" ”

The deputy brigade commanders Zhou Dasheng and Zhao Youde, who were behind the two, said a little worriedly: "Brigade commander, why don't we lead the two of us to lead the assault team to attack at night, you are the commander of a brigade, and you want to command the whole brigade to fight, how can you risk yourself lightly!" ”

Ma Biao and Wu Ming glanced at each other, and said secretly, in addition to being the brigade commander, we are also the super soldier king who is second only to the commander in individual combat ability, and the sneak attack of a small group of troops at night is our specialty, and the success rate is much higher than yours.

Of course, the two of them couldn't say that, Ma Biao said with a stiff face: "Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou, the matter of the night attack is so decided, and I and Brigade Commander Wu will personally lead the team to carry it out, and when we are not there, the command of the large army will be handed over to you and Deputy Brigade Commander Zhao!" ”
