Many thoughts flashed through Qiao Youhua's mind one by one, the conscienceless cannon used by the Dragon's Tooth Column before was a good weapon, and it was definitely more than enough to deal with the little devil's thin-skinned tank.

It's just that it's too late to build a batch of conscienceless cannons.

Just when Qiao Youhua was a little at a loss, a shrill roar of aircraft engines suddenly came from the sky in the distance, and Qiao Youhua, who had been in battle for a long time, couldn't help but change.

Zheng Yunshan, who was beside him, also looked up and said in surprise: "It's the devil's plane." ”

Qiao Youhua showed a look of surprise and said: "Since the devil has detected our whereabouts, he will not only send ground troops to intercept it, but it is inevitable to dispatch air force fighters." ”

"Don't care about the enemy planes for now, they don't pose much threat, the biggest threat is still the Japanese tank and armored units in the direction of Texas, order the troops to pay attention to their hidden whereabouts, and rush to meet with the cavalry battalion at full speed before making plans."

"Yes." Zheng Yunshan suddenly stepped forward to agree, turned around and got on a war horse to lead the order to leave.

Half an hour later, the Devil Tank and Chariot Brigade that had received the report of the defeated puppet army arrived in a menacing manner, the area where the Longya Cavalry Battalion had set up an ambush before.

Looking at the terrain in front of him, which was somewhat unfavorable to the city, Commander Watanabe Nakasa ordered all tanks and armored vehicles to stop advancing and stood on a tank car holding a telescope to observe.

A devil captain next to him pointed to the front and said, "Sir Watanabe, the terrain here is suitable for setting up an ambush, so let's send someone to reconnoitre." ”

Watanabe Nakasa nodded approvingly, and immediately sent two Type 92 armored vehicles to rumble forward, and it didn't take long for the two armored vehicles to enter the section where the cavalry battalion had set up an ambush before.

Heavy machine guns were used to fire on the bushes and woods on both sides of the road, and the dense gunfire suddenly rang out, followed by the green smoke from bullets piercing through the grass and trees, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the woods, and some birds flew away in terror.

"Sir, it looks like it's safe here."

Watanabe Nakasa waved his big hand and said: "Yo Xi, the people of China have not set up an ambush here, it seems that they have been frightened by the majesty of our armored troops, and ordered the troops to continue to advance and fight to Hengshui City!" ”

"Hay!" The Japanese captain bowed his head sharply in response, and only when Watanabe's car rumbled forward did he urge his armored driver to follow in his tank.

Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua led their troops to meet in a forest fifteen kilometers south of Hengshui, Liu Jianhua saluted Qiao Youhua apologetically: "Commander, I am incompetent and incompetent, and I have failed to stop the devil, which has disappointed you." ”

Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, there are too many armored vehicles and tank vehicles of devils, it is indeed a headache, I am not in a hurry, I am just discussing with you, how to deal with them!" ”

Zhao Tiezhu continued: "The devil didn't know where to transfer so many tanks and armored vehicles this time, we brought four 37mm German-style anti-aircraft guns, originally wanted to catch them off guard, but now they are dodging one after another as if they were ducks!" ”

Qiao Youhua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "What did you say?" You brought a 37mm anti-aircraft gun? ”

Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu nodded at the same time and said, "Yes, I brought four gates, where did I borrow them from the second regiment." ”

"Are there too many shells?" Qiao Youhua asked eagerly.

"Are the shells alright?" Liu Jianhua looked back, the artillery platoon commander had been listening to them, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Commander Hui, Battalion Commander Liu, our four guns carry a total of 120 armor-piercing blasting shells, an average of 30 rounds each!" ”

"One hundred and twenty rounds!" Qiao Youhua was overjoyed and said: "Enough, these shells, plus the mortar shells carried by the guard battalion, are enough to dry the tanks and armored vehicles of the little devils." ”

"The devil's tanks and armored vehicles have very low protection, a few more grenades can destroy them, but any artillery can come in handy!"

Zhao Tiezhu was a little worried: "Commander, do you mean to ambush the devil again with the four battle defense guns in our hands?" ”

"yes, ambush them one more time." Qiao Youhua nodded.

"However, we only have four anti-aircraft guns, isn't it too few?" Zhao Tiezhu said.

"There are a lot, the key is to see how to use it!" Qiao Youhua said confidently.

Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu, Zheng Yunshan and others looked at each other, not knowing what Qiao Youhua's plans were.

Qiao Youhua immediately asked someone to bring the battle map, spread it out on the spot, and beckoned the three of them: "Come around, let's find a suitable ambush location first!" ”

The trio immediately surrounded them, and in the end, they chose a hillside about five kilometers away from where they were at this time as the ambush site.

After the ambush site was chosen, Liu Jianhua frowned and said: "Commander, this place is good, but this is not the only way for the devils to go to Hengshui, we still have to find a way to attract the devils' tanks and armored troops." ”

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and smoked: "This is simple, before your cavalry battalion showed off its might outside Texas City, the armored troops of the little devils must hate you to the core, as long as you appear, they will definitely pounce on you, and then you just attract the devils over."

The construction of the ambush position was handed over to the guard battalion, and by the way, the battle defense artillery platoon of the 2nd Regiment was also left. ”

Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu nodded, saluted Qiao Youhua, and then left together.

Liu Jianhua and Zhao Tiezhu quickly left with the cavalry battalion and went to carry out the plan to lure the enemy, while Qiao Youhua and Zheng Yunshan commanded the soldiers of the guard battalion to move quickly.

The construction of ambush positions began near the slope of this hill near the road, and first, Qiao Youhua asked the soldiers to dig trenches three or four meters wide and more than two meters deep where devil tanks and armored vehicles might pass on the road.

It was used as anti-tank trenches, and then explosives and mines were planted near these trenches, and then the grenadiers and mortars equipped by each platoon of the guard battalion were concentrated and deployed on the hillside in unison with the four 37mm anti-aircraft guns of the second regiment to do a good job of full concealment.

Once the arrangements were made, hundreds of dragon tooth guards took out all kinds of tools and worked in full swing on the hillsides and roads.

Qiao Youhua rarely came to a thigh-thick wild tree on the hillside, smoking a cigarette while looking into the distance.

As long as this battle is completed and the main transport force is evacuated to the base area, then the operation will be completed smoothly, and then the arsenal in the base area can be expanded, more new weapons and equipment can be added to the Dragon's Tooth Column, and at least a certain number of armored units can be formed.

If you encounter today's situation, you don't have to think about it anymore, once the German-style tanks and armored vehicles are installed in the Dragon's Tooth Column, when facing the Japanese armored forces, they can be crushed all the way!
