After listening to the adjutant's report, Sakai Ritsuzo couldn't help but stumble under his feet, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, but fortunately, a devil officer behind him was quick and quickly stepped forward to help him.

Sakai Lizo still didn't give up and asked: "Then did the military supplies we hoarded in Hengshui also fall into the hands of the Chinese army?" ”

The communications adjutant nodded with a sad face, but did not say anything explicitly.

Sakai Ritsuzo only felt a smell of blood rush from his abdomen to his throat, but fortunately he held it back and swallowed it back, so that he did not vomit blood.

However, he was already so angry that his internal organs were damaged, and the spirit of the whole person instantly withered a lot, but the anger of hatred supported him and gritted his teeth and said: "Order the imperial army troops to rush to Hengshui immediately and destroy this cavalry!" With the snow in my heart! ”

The attendant adjutant behind him hurriedly persuaded: "Your Excellency General, please calm down, the Zhina army that attacked Hengshui is cavalry, they are extremely mobile, maybe they have evacuated Hengshui now, and now send out the imperial elite in our hands, it is likely to run in vain." ”

Sakai Ritsuzo glanced back at him and said, "Then what do you say?" Now that Hengshui has been captured by the Chinese army, we have lost a lot of military materials, and the ammunition and food and other materials needed for the next attack will become unsustainable, do you want me to sit back and wait for death? ”

The devil's adjutant was silent, at this time, he couldn't think of any good way, the best way to deal with cavalry was to use cavalry against cavalry, or to restrain with armored troops.

However, at the moment, they do not have these two arms in their hands, and it is obviously impossible to defeat the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind with infantry.

Sakai Rizo thought of a serious question again, that is, if this continues, will Raoyang, Anping, Wuqiang and other places also be attacked by the Dragon Tooth Cavalry?

The defensive strength of these places is not as strong as Hengshui.

As soon as he thought of this, Sakai Ritsuzo became even more uncontrollable, and insisted on going his own way: "Immediately send out all the imperial imperial troops in our hands, and hand over the combat mission of besieging Shimen to the imperial army."

We must do everything we can to eliminate this dragon tooth cavalry, at the very least, we must expel them from our rear line of influence, otherwise we will not be able to concentrate on continuing the frontal attack. ”

…………

As a result, the last 8,000 Japanese troops under Sakai Lizo were ordered to turn back to Hengshui along the railway line.

At least, with only the remaining tens of thousands of puppet troops, the Dragon's Tooth Column is completely unafraid of them if they have enough food and ammunition.

And when Sakai Rizo's 8,000 Japanese troops rushed to Hengshui day and night, Qiao Youhua and Liu Jianhua had already led the cavalry battalion to leave and arrived near Wuqiang County.

Sakai Lizo's hunch was not wrong, Qiao Youhua did plan to take the opportunity to recover Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping, and completely turn the logistics line of the Japanese puppet army on the East Road upside down, so that they would no longer have time to attack Shimen.

As long as the logistics line is interrupted, the Japanese puppet army, which has lost a large number of military supplies and baggage, will inevitably be forced to return to help, and at that time, it will be a great opportunity for the Dragon's Tooth Column to take the initiative to attack and take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

Without military supplies, it was only a matter of time before the Japanese puppet army, which had an absolute advantage in troops, was defeated.

Although Sakai Ritsuzo sent an urgent telegram to the Japanese puppet defenders in Wuqiang County and other places in advance, asking them to be vigilant in case the dragon tooth cavalry sneak attacked.

However, the Japanese puppet defenders in Wuqiang County only had 600 people, and they were not superior to the Longya Cavalry Battalion in terms of strength, most of them were puppet troops, and their combat power was even more different.

Not to mention, Qiao Youhua also carefully prepared artillery this time, the purpose was to strengthen the cavalry battalion's ability to attack fortifications, and now it happened to come in handy.

After discovering that the Japanese puppet defenders in Wuqiang County were well guarded and there was no possibility of a sneak attack, Qiao Youhua decisively made the decision to attack, and the small county town defended by the puppet army for hundreds of days was nothing in Qiao Youhua's eyes.

Soon, four Type 92 infantry guns and more than a dozen 60mm mortars equipped with the Longya Cavalry Battalion itself lined up outside their range in front of the Japanese puppet army in Wuqiang County, and they were ready to open fire.

Facing the muzzles of more than a dozen or twenty black artillery, the Japanese puppet army at the head of the city couldn't help but panic.

Qiao Youhua stood in front of the artillery with a golden sword, and shouted at the city: "The little devils and dog traitors in the city have heard clearly, and you are limited to disarm and surrender out of the city within three minutes, otherwise we will open fire, and there will be no chickens and dogs left after the city is broken!" ”

In the face of Qiao Youhua's intimidation, the puppet army at the head of the city trembled with fright, and many people began to turn their heads and ears, wanting to go out of the city and surrender, but looking at the Japanese troops around them, they didn't dare to act rashly, and they could only be anxious like ants on a hot pot, trembling like walking on thin ice.

The devils in the city were proficient in Chinese and Japanese language translators, and only then did they understand the meaning of Qiao Youhua's words just now, and they were immediately so angry that their faces turned blue and roared angrily, they were too arrogant, and the hateful people of China simply didn't take our Imperial Japanese Army seriously.

The devil officer who led the team at the head of the city is also a veteran who has participated in many battles, and it has always been the Japanese army that flaunts its might and arrogance in front of the Chinese army, but today's situation is reversed.

This made him not angry, so he picked up a 38 big cover rifle and fired a shot at Qiao Youhua's position, Qiao Youhua was hundreds of meters away at the time, this devil's marksmanship was obviously not very good, and the bullet didn't know where it flew.

Hearing the gunshots, Liu Jianhua and the others hurriedly beat their horses forward and asked with concern: "Commander, are you okay?" ”

Qiao Youhua laughed angrily: "It's okay, yo, the little devil raised by the son of a bitch, it's quite crazy!" Since the toast does not eat and drink, then open fire to Lao Tzu, bombard his son of a bitch, the cavalry is ready, after the city gate is opened, immediately attack, after entering the city, the puppet army surrenders will not be killed, and the devil will not let go! No mercy! ”

"Yes!" The artillerymen, as well as Liu Jianhua, Zhao Tiezhu and other cavalry battalion officers and men all agreed with a bang.

After receiving the order, the artillerymen who had already prepared for a qiē opened fire one after another, boom boom! More than a dozen shells of different calibers whizzed down towards the city.

The puppet soldiers at the head of the city were frightened and let out a burst of screams and screams.

Boom Boom! A series of violent explosions rang out in and around the city, and the flames and smoke instantly enveloped the city gates.

The huge sound resounded in all directions, and Qiao Youhua held a telescope and clearly saw that in the explosion on the head of the city, many Japanese puppet troops were blown up.

"Well blown up, that's it, keep banging me hard!" Qiao Youhua shouted!
