The bald-headed puppet army hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "Please rest assured, the little one will definitely change his mind and face in the future, and he will never give his life to the Japanese again. ”

Qiao Youhua thought for a while and said: "You surrendered to our Eighth Route Army today, and you have completely offended the devil, and if you want to be a traitor in the future, it is estimated that you will not have that chance." In these troubled times, I don't think you have any good places to go.

In this way, for your sake today's table, I will show you the way, whether you want to go or not, just let it be. ”

When the bald puppet army heard this, he hurriedly said: "Please show me, boss, the small one must do it, definitely." ”

"I'll let you go later, you can find a place to stay and hide for the time being, don't let the Japanese devils find out, and wait until my troops defeat the devils and win this battle against encirclement and suppression in the base area.

If you come to Anping again, or go to Shimen, find our team, and join the Eighth Route Army, just say that I Qiao Youhua gave you this opportunity, and someone will definitely recruit you.

If you join my army and become the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party, you will become a hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, think for yourself. Qiao Youhua said.

The bald puppet soldier looked shocked when he heard this, and said, "What? Boss, you are the commander of the Dragon's Tooth Column, Qiao Youhua, Boss Qiao? ”

"It's a fake, but I'm not a boss, we only have two chief and deputy bosses in the Eighth Route Army, so I can't scream." Qiao Youhua said.

"That's, that's, Commander, we'll call us whatever we want, your prestige is like thunder! We all admire it! The bald puppet army was a little happy and didn't know what to do, and said: "We are willing to do this way you gave, 100% willingly!" Being able to join the Eighth Route Army and become an anti-Japanese hero is something we never dreamed of. ”

Qiao Youhua smiled and nodded, in fact, the reason why he arranged it like this was not that he particularly valued this group of puppet soldiers, mainly because he felt that since they were willing to surrender themselves, they were afraid of the prestige of the Dragon Tooth Column on the one hand, and they were definitely not hardcore traitors who sincerely worked for the devil.

Such a group of puppet troops also has the value of transformation, and they are now leading their troops outside, and the base area of the Dragon's Tooth Column is also under martial law, so naturally they can't be allowed to go now.

That's why Qiao Youhua asked them to wait until the war was over.

When the time comes, together with the puppet army captives who have been recruited and forced to land from all walks of life, they will supplement and expand the entire Dragon Tooth Column.

Unexpectedly, his reputation is really not covered, at least in the hearts of the Japanese puppet army in North China, it is a real prestige, like thunder, and the reaction of this bald puppet army is the best proof.

Therefore, Qiao Youhua is not afraid that after letting them go, they will run away and disappear without a trace, but there is a great possibility that they will join the Dragon Tooth Column.

Next, according to Qiao Youhua's orders, the bald puppet army and his subordinates handed over all weapons and ammunition to the Dragon Tooth Cavalry Battalion. To be on the safe side, it was necessary to collect their weapons and ammunition.

After all, having a weapon in hand will have a different mentality than bare-handed.

Without the guys, they are like tigers without minions, and if they do, they may choose to fall into the grass and occupy the mountains as the king, and on the contrary, they will break their thoughts in this regard.

Then, the bald puppet army evacuated Anping with his little minions, of course, before leaving, Qiao Youhua allowed them to take away a month's rations, lest they go to harm the people again because of the lack of rations.

For Qiao Youhua's arrangement, the puppet soldiers were grateful to Dade again.

Before leaving, Qiao Youhua remembered the name of the bald officer who led the way, Zhou Zhibing!

After sending away Zhou Zhibing's group of puppet soldiers, Qiao Youhua led the cavalry battalion to rest in Anping County for about half an hour, and the sixty or seventy dragon tooth cavalry detachments that had been left outside Raoyang County finally came to join them.

At the same time, the news about Raoyang was brought that the main force of the Japanese army of more than 7,000 people arrived in Raoyang about forty or fifty minutes ago, and in the process of their retreat, they only pursued for a short distance, then stopped the pursuit and withdrew to Raoyang County.

After all, the Japanese army was not cavalry, and the vast majority of the more than 7,000 people relied on two legs, from the Shimen front line to Hengshui, and then from Hengshui to Raoyang, in one day and one night, they had marched hundreds of miles continuously.

Even if the body is all iron, it can't stand it, and the cavalry battalion needs to rest in Anping, let alone them.

After listening to the report of the squad, Qiao Youhua put his mind at ease and said to Liu Jianhua and other officers: "It seems that we can rest in Anping for one night with peace of mind, feed our war horses, and tomorrow morning, the spirit of the people and horses will be restored, and then continue our morning glory tactics." ”

Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu and they naturally did everything, that night, after arranging some cavalry to guard the periphery, Qiao Youhua and most of the cavalry soldiers quickly fell asleep after dinner, and the continuous high-intensity marching and fighting consumed a lot of their bodies.

Fortunately, there are a lot of military supplies in Anping City, which has just been taken, such as canned Japanese beef, sake, chicken, duck, fish and eggs, basically everything, and the soldiers can have a good meal. Of course, alcohol cannot be drunk, and if you drink alcohol at this time, it is very likely that you will miss a big thing.

Anping's puppet army was not equipped with a radio station, and the puppet army in the city mutinied and tied up the devils mixed in the puppet army, so the devils had no chance to report to the outside world to warn them.

Therefore, the main force of Raoyang's devils still doesn't know that the Dragon Tooth Cavalry Battalion has captured Anping, and they are eating their military canned food in the city, recuperating and recuperating.

So, Raoyang's devils also stayed in Raoyang to rest, and they spent the whole night, and there was a rare peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Japanese scouts in Raoyang were sent out to search for the whereabouts of the cavalry battalion.

Qiao Youhua and the others were not idle, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion who had rested all night were already in good spirits, and after eating a hearty breakfast, they quietly left Anping County and hid in the dense forest wilderness in the north of the city.

Start looking for the next right target and strike again.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the Japanese scouts photographed by Raoyang finally arrived in Anping, discovered the abnormality, and immediately sent someone back to report the situation to the Japanese commander in Raoyang.

This time back and forth, it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and more than four hours had passed since Qiao Youhua and the others left Anping.

When the commander of the Japanese army in Raoyang learned that the county town of Anping had been captured, all the imperial soldiers in the city had been beheaded and died, and the puppet army did not know where to go, he was immediately furious, and while sending people to increase the search area, he reported the battle situation to Sakai Tatsuzo, and asked him to request the air force to send reconnaissance planes to provide air support to the front army headquarters.
