Sugiyama Mototo, who put the telegram in his hand on the desk in front of him, looked up at the riverside Shozo, and asked, "Have the reinforcements from Jinan and Mount Tai arrived in Dezhou?" ”

Hebian Zhengsan replied: "Not yet, but they have already arrived in the plains south of Texas and the area of Lingxian, and they should be able to reach Texas before Qiao Youhua's dragon tooth column returns to Hengshui." ”

Sugiyama Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's good, order them, once they arrive in Dezhou, immediately meet all the imperial army and imperial alliance forces around Dezhou, take the initiative to attack the halfway route from Hengshui to Guangrao, intercept the Longya column of China, and never let them return to the Shimen area." ”

"In addition, the 3rd Flying Corps was ordered to take off and station all the fighters stationed north of the Yellow River, as long as they were within its combat radius, all of them should participate, go to Hengshui to attack the Longya Column in the vicinity, and cooperate with the ground forces to intercept it! Although we are not strong enough to really stop the Dragon's Tooth Column returning to the west.

But also do your best to destroy the munitions they traded from the Germans! They can't be brought back to their base, no matter what they're trading! ”

"Also, Hebian-kun, I will send a telegram for me later, and send it directly to the War Department of the Tokyo base camp, and report the situation of the private transaction between the Germans and the Dragon's Tooth Column, hum, the hateful Germans actually made a private transaction with the Dragon's Tooth Column!" Sugiyama added.

Kawabe Shozo immediately nodded in response: "Hai! ”

…………

Guangrao County, Qiao Youhua and Wu Ming and others finally arrived here, Ma Biao went out of the city to greet him, and saluted Qiao Youhua: "Commander, four eyes, you are all back safely, I am worried about the old horse." ”

Wu Ming smiled, this time he was able to escape death, and the price was not small, thanks to the Dragon King's efforts to rescue and respond, but between their brothers, these should be kept in mind, and there is no need to say more.

They are truly brothers who have passed their lives, and they can give their backs to each other's brothers, living and dying together, walking side by side, and nothing can be replaced by words.

Qiao Youhua nodded slightly and asked, "You stay here, how are the troops?" ”

Ma Biao hurriedly said: "Commander, you can rest assured that you will act according to the original plan, my deputy regiment commander Zhou Dasheng, chief of staff and first battalion commander Ma Shoutian, and Zhao Youde, deputy commander of the third regiment, are all rushing to Hengshui with their troops." ”

Qiao Youhua said: "On the way we withdrew just now, we found that a ghost plane appeared, and they flew straight to Guangrao County, there was no accident, right?" ”

Ma Biao said: "No, the little devil's plane came to Guangrao and wandered around, and was driven away by the anti-aircraft fire composed of the general machine guns of the lowly organization, but because most of the machine guns were used to escort the troops, they couldn't knock down one or two planes of the little devil raised by the bitch."

In the end, it was estimated that they were running out of fuel, and after wrestling with us for a while, they took the initiative to evacuate and return home, without causing us any substantial damage. ”

Qiao Youhua put his mind at ease and nodded: "That's good, everything is under our control." ”

Ma Biao asked, "Then do you want to rest for a while in Guangrao before setting off, or do you set off now?" ”

Qiao Youhua looked back at Wu Ming and the others, and Wu Ming immediately understood: "Commander, don't worry about us, we are all in good spirits, just eat some dry food and drink some water on the way." ”

、

"That's okay, don't rest, set off immediately, and rush back to Hengshui as much as possible, I'm afraid that the devil has come back to his senses now, maybe he will send troops to intercept us, although if we really fight, now there is no Japanese army in Hengshui and Texas that can really threaten us."

However, half of the purpose of our trip has been achieved, and the next thing is to safely transport this batch of materials back to the base area, rather than fighting with the devils! So, try to avoid getting entangled with devils! One qiē is mainly to transport military equipment back. Qiao Youhua immediately decided.

"Yes!" Ma Biao, Wu Ming and others stepped forward one after another, and then they each took their subordinates and followed Qiao Youhua out of Guangrao County.

At this time, the vanguard of the Dragon's Tooth Column had already arrived at Hengshui City under the help of Liu Jianhua's cavalry battalion, and at this moment, the reconnaissance cavalry scattered by the cavalry battalion brought unfavorable news.

"Battalion commander, the Japanese puppet army in Dezhou City suddenly all went out and rushed to Hengshui!" A scout cavalry squad leader came to Liu Jianhua and reported.

"All the Texas devils are dispatched?" Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu were taken aback when they heard this, when they launched a feint attack on Texas before, the devils in Texas were as frightened as a shrinking turtle, until later they sent an armored force at any cost.

The Dragon Tooth Cavalry just received Qiao Youhua's order, and the feint mission was over, so that they could withdraw to the Hengshui area and prepare to return west with the main force! It was the end of the entanglement with the Japanese puppet army in the Texas area.

Unexpectedly, they are now taking the initiative again.

"Battalion commander, it seems that the little devil has noticed our actions and is here to intercept us!" Deputy battalion commander Zhao Tiezhu said.

Liu Jianhua snorted coldly: "With our cavalry battalion here, we must not let the little devil succeed!" ”

"The infantry of the devils and the puppet army don't have to worry, even if there are more of them, even if we can't defeat them, we can drag them down, but their armored forces have to be defended, and they have to find a way to kill them before they can clean up the other devil infantry." Zhao Tiezhu said.

Liu Jianhua thought for a while and said: "Find the remaining troops of the Second Regiment to ask for some battle defense artillery, and then ask them to send a few military trucks to tow them, and cooperate with us to dispatch to meet the Japanese puppet army in the direction of Texas!" ”

"Okay, I'll go find the people of the second regiment." Zhao Tiezhu nodded, turned his horse's head and galloped towards Hengshui City.

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR THE TWO BATTLE DEFENSE ARTILLERY PLATOONS OF THE SECOND REGIMENT TO DRAG FOUR 37MM BATTLE DEFENSE GUNS WITH ZHAO TIEZHU OUT OF THE CITY, AND SUCCESSFULLY RENDEZVOUS WITH THE CAVALRY BATTALION THAT HAD JUST COMPLETED THE ASSEMBLY AFTER RECEIVING THE ORDER.

Four military trucks and more than 600 cavalry joined forces, and under the leadership of Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu, they left Hengshui City, went south again, and rushed to meet the enemy in the direction of Dezhou.

It's just that Zhao Tiezhu and Liu Jianhua didn't know that their opponents were not only the more than 1,000 Japanese troops of the original Texas defenders, but also more than 3,000 devil elites who crossed the Yellow River north from Jinan and Mount Tai to reinforce them had rushed to Dezhou.

However, among the more than 3,000 Japanese troops, there was a tank brigade, equipped with dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, which is why this Japanese army was called elite.

The cavalry battalion only had four German-style 37mm anti-aircraft guns, which was obviously insufficient, and this head-on battle would be the most brutal battle the cavalry battalion had faced since its formation.
