Qiao Youhua came to a section of the city wall located in the west of the city, because the west of Dingzhou City is not far from the mountainous area, so the west city wall is not the focus of the Japanese army's defense, relatively speaking, the defense should be lax.

Hidden in a piece of grass near the city wall, Qiao Youhua stayed silently for more than twenty minutes, during which a total of two teams of Japanese patrols formed by squads passed by.

When the second team of Japanese patrols walked in front of him for two minutes, Qiao Youhua immediately rushed out of the grass, ran with help, and then jumped vigorously like an ape, grabbed the city wall with both hands, and with a point of borrowing, he easily turned over and jumped onto the city.

Then, without making any stops, he jumped again and jumped directly from the city walls into the city.

After entering the city, with the help of the criss-crossed and echeloned residential buildings in the city, Qiao Youhua was like an ape to the forest, and the dragon entered the sea, easily avoiding the ears and eyes of the Japanese patrol and vigilance personnel in the city, and began to conduct accurate reconnaissance of the Japanese troops in the city and the location of the military depot.

About an hour later, Qiao Youhua took the same approach and quietly walked out of the city, coming and going freely, as if entering a no-man's land.

When they returned to the woods where the cavalry camp was resting, Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu and others were anxiously pacing back and forth, obviously worried about him.

Hearing the footsteps, everyone looked up and saw Qiao Youhua coming, and immediately greeted them with joy.

Liu Jianhua said: "Commander, you are finally back, the brothers are very worried!" ”

Zhao Tiezhu also said: "Yes, Commander, if you don't come back, the brothers will want to go to the county seat to respond." ”

Feeling the concern of his subordinates, Qiao Youhua smiled and said, "Don't you worry about my skills, one person and one gun, entering Dingzhou City, as if entering a no-man's land." ”

Hearing Qiao Youhua say this, the dragon tooth soldiers, including Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu, all laughed out one after another, not to laugh at Qiao Youhua's bragging, but to be sincerely happy for him.

After greetings, Qiao Youhua, Liu Jianhua, and Zhao Tiezhu gathered together, and Qiao Youhua cleared a small open space, and simply drew a sketch with tree branches on it, replacing the map of Dingzhou City.

Said to the two: "After my personal reconnaissance, the strength of the devil in Dingzhou should be about 1,000 people, considering that the enemy's headquarters is in the city, two to three hundred people can be added on this basis, and these people can be regarded as headquarters guards and various logistics personnel." ”

There is a huge disparity between the enemy and our forces, and we are defending the city, we are cavalry, which is not conducive to attacking the fortified battle, once we cannot attack for a long time, the surrounding Japanese puppet army will soon come to reinforcements and surround us.

So it's not advisable to storm it! The only way to do this is to infiltrate with small forces and carry out sabotage raids. ”

When the two heard Qiao Youhua say this, they both nodded, and Qiao Youhua continued: "The devil's munitions warehouse is in the north of the city, the headquarters is in the center of the city, the south and east of the city and the north of the city are the most strongly defended, followed by the devil's headquarters. In these places, there are many Japanese patrols and garrisons, which is really not conducive to our infiltration.

The weakest is the west of the city, which means that we need to sneak in from the west of the city, through the area northwest of the city, and reach the north of the city, and carry out the attack.

Therefore, my plan is that I personally lead twenty elite soldiers with enough weapons and ammunition, and after dark, sneak in from the west of the city, and the two of you, with half of the cavalry, ready to respond!

The specific response plan is as follows, after we enter the city, Tie Zhu led half of the cavalry to quietly move to the east of the city, and when the guns and explosions in the city sounded, they immediately launched an attack on the east of the city, remember, just a feint, don't really attack, try to use machine guns and artillery, and make the momentum bigger! ”

Zhao Tiezhu nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, keep in mind the humble duty." ”

Qiao Youhua said to Liu Jianhua again: "It is foreseeable that once the warehouse in the north of the city is attacked by us, after the explosion, the devils will definitely impose martial law on the whole city, and at that time, it is obviously impossible to get out of the city."

Therefore, I decided that before destroying the Japanese military quartermaster warehouse, I would first find a way to get a set of devil military uniforms for my brothers, and find an opportunity to open the north gate of the city while the chaos was in place and break through the north gate.

You bring the Type 92 infantry cannon, remember, as soon as the north gate is opened, you will immediately fire fiercely at the city gate tower to meet our breakthrough.

After we break out of the encirclement, we must retreat to the north of Dingzhou respectively, remember, not to the south and east, because the west is a mountainous area, the east is the county seat of Anguo, and the south is where the main force of the Japanese puppet army is.

We finally met twenty miles north of the city. Have you memorized them all? ”

The two nodded one after another: "I remember it." ”

Qiao Youhua scrambled the sketch with his hand, then stood up and led them to choose the right candidate.

In addition to the necessary vigilance, ten minutes later, more than 650 officers and men of the Dragon's Tooth Cavalry Battalion were all assembled.

Surrounded by Zhao Tiezhu and Liu Jianhua, Qiao Youhua came to the soldiers, and as Qiao Youhua's eyes swept around, everywhere he went, the officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion couldn't help but straighten their chests.

Standing in front of them is the strongest god of war in their hearts, where the military soul is, they always take Qiao Youhua as an example, to struggle, to fight bloody battles against the enemy.

In front of Qiao Youhua, they naturally want to try their best to show their best side.

Qiao Youhua understands that this army is no longer the recruit unit that was formed at the beginning, their military soul has been cast, and they are the real elite, just like a pile of dry firewood, which only needs a little spark to ignite a prairie fire.

Qiao Youhua is going to act as this Mars now.

His gaze wandered to the side of the faces of all the soldiers, and he said in a deep voice: "Brothers, in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, all the officers and men of your cavalry battalion have shown themselves very well, and they are really models for the whole column.

But now there is an even more difficult task for you to do! It can be said that this mission is related to the victory or defeat of the anti-encirclement and suppression operation in the base area, but this mission is absolutely a life of death.

Those who participated in it will most likely never come back, and I would like to ask, do you dare to participate? ”

As soon as Qiao Youhua's words came out, the more than 600 cavalrymen did not hesitate at all, and shouted in unison: "Always be ready!" ”

"Very good, worthy of the most heroic and combative elite of my dragon's tooth column! All of you are good, now I only need twenty soldiers, selected by your battalion commander, and those who are named will be listed! Qiao Youhua said.

Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu began to discuss the selection of personnel, and Qiao Youhua took this opportunity to continue: "Comrades, this battle, whether it is to participate in the operation to venture in the city, or to stay outside the city to respond, is very important, its success or failure is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in our Longya base area.

For them, we must go all out, even if it costs our lives, we must complete the task! Do you understand everything? ”

"Understood!" The cavalry officers responded violently.
