"Well, I see." Liu Ruhan nodded lightly, and just wanted to leave, Qiao Youhua stopped her again and said, "This time I will go to Dingzhou, in order to facilitate contact, let Ying'er go with me." ”

Liu Ruhan glanced at Qiao Youhua and nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem." ”

After Qiao Youhua made the arrangements, he immediately took the first battalion of guards and nearly 1,000 soldiers and Wan Ying'er, left Pingshan County and hurried to Dingzhou.

At the same time, the Longya defenders in Dingzhou, Hejian, Cangzhou and other places, after receiving Qiao Youhua's order, mobilized one after another, repaired fortifications, increased patrols, and the tank regiments stationed in Hejian also moved.

A joint patrol team of cavalry and tanks and combat vehicles patrolled continuously between Hejian and Cangzhou to prevent the devils from launching another Ranzhuang-style attack.

In addition to the frontier counties, the garrisons of Botou, Nanpi, Raoyang, Suning, Anguo and other places in the back also united with the local militia and the common people to form a military and civilian patrol team, forming an all-round patrol and guard line along their respective county towns and urban traffic arteries.

Cangzhou at the front, from Hejian to Dingzhou, if it is compared to a long snake formation, is the frontier position.

Then the area of hundreds of miles in the middle of Shimen, Zhengding, Hengshui, and Dezhou in their rear is a two-line defense area that has been formed by the local military and civilian forces to form a dense fishing net.

Devils can easily pass through the large gaps in the first line of defense, but it is not so easy to pass through the "fishnet array" of the second line of defense.

…………

The Dragon's Tooth Column is on the side of the enemy, and it has mobilized troops to strengthen its defenses, and the devils have already received the news of the victory in Ranzhuang Town, and Tada Jun and Iizawa Mamoru are sharing the long-lost joy of victory in the office.

The two old devils were in high spirits, and specially asked their subordinates to prepare a few exquisite dishes for them, two pots of sake, and drank a little wine.

The two sat opposite each other, a beautiful Japanese attendant in a kimono, poured wine for the two of them on the side, and after a few glasses of wine, Iizawa Mamoru was elated, and said proudly: "Your Excellency General, how is it, are you still satisfied with the result of this battle of Ranzhuang?" ”

The victory of Ranzhuang in the first battle can be said to have greatly alleviated the North China Front at the level of morale and morale, and now it is facing an urgent need, which will greatly boost the morale and morale of the Japanese army.

Therefore, Tada Jun was still very satisfied with this, and nodded happily and said: "Da Di is satisfied, Iizawa-kun, this special operations unit you recommended really lives up to expectations!" I'll ask the base camp for credit for you! ”

Hearing this, Iizawa Mamoru smiled happily: "Please don't have to take credit, we are all the emperor's people, soldiers of the Japanese Empire, serving His Majesty the Emperor, serving the empire is a matter of duty!" However, Riverside Wild and his special combat team need to be given the necessary commendation to encourage them! I hope that Your Excellency the Commander will take it to heart. ”

Tada Jun nodded with a smile and said, "Haha, of course, I will personally reward Wild Osa and his subordinates by the river!" ”

"By the way, did they say when they were going to come back?" Tada Jun asked again.

Iizawa Shoudao: "According to the call from the wild people by the river, they decided not to return to Beiping for the time being, and the riverside-kun plans to stay in Baoding for a while to see if he can launch another attack on the people of China!" ”

Tada Jun said: "Riverside Jun is really ambitious, it's good to have this hard work, but don't be overconfident, lest the gutter overturn, the gains outweigh the losses, ",

"Your Excellency General, please rest assured, the lowly post will remind them at any time, and Kawabe Osa is an extremely good imperial soldier, I believe he will not act blindly." Iizawa Morido.

Tada Jun nodded and smiled: "Well, then I'll rest assured, by the way, Cangzhou on the Eastern Front, in the area between the rivers, does the Zhina Army have any movements and reactions?" ”

Iizawa Mamoru picked up his wine glass and took a sip and said: "It may be that we are in Renqiu, and the garrison of the Qingcheng generation has signs of moving south, and I should have learned the news of the battle of Ranzhuang today, so now the Chinese army in Cangzhou, Hejian and other places have all been mobilized."

The defense has suddenly escalated, and everyone is like a great enemy! Ha ha! ”

Tada Jun also laughed happily: "It's time to let the people of China taste the taste of the wind and the rumors, the grass and trees are soldiers, and it is difficult to sleep!" ”

After speaking, Tada Jun picked up his wine glass and said, "Come, Iizawa-kun, let's indulge once tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

"Hai, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Mamoru Iizawa also hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and tilted his neck to do it first.

Tada Jun also drank immediately, and the two old devils looked at each other and laughed.

…………

Dingzhou City, the regimental headquarters of the first regiment of the first brigade of Longya.

Zhao Erniu stood in front of Liu Yidao and Scarface with a dejected expression, lowered his head and said: "Deputy brigade commander, regiment commander, it is my responsibility to lose Ranzhuang Town and sacrifice vigorously, please kill me!" ”

Liu Yidao looked at him and didn't speak, and Scarface couldn't help but say: "Zhao Erniu, Ranzhuang Town is lost, and you are indeed a fucking sin, but Lao Tzu told you that the commander has decided to personally bring reinforcements to rush over to avenge this arrow."

Until then, you can stay honest with Lao Tzu! Wait until the commander arrives and decide how to punish you! Now, get the fuck off at once, I don't want to see you like a frosted eggplant! ”

Zhao Erniu still lowered his head and said, "Yes!" Then he turned and left silently.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Scarface was angry, and said: "Big brother, look at this kid's cowardice, Ran Zhuang fought and his soul was lost." ”

Liu Yidao pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, Camp Commander Zhao is not necessarily a bad thing like this. ”

Scarface looked at him puzzled, and said, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" If Zhao Erniu, this kid, continues like this, even if it is wasted, it is better to be shot to make an example! ”

Liu Yidao smiled slightly: "Why didn't the commander have a hint of reproach in his call back to us, do you understand?" ”

Scarface thought for a moment and said, "Isn't it to stabilize the morale of the army?" ”

Liu Yidao scolded: "Fart, what do you kid know, the commander regards us as descendants, and treats us equally, if we really want to be held responsible, we would have been dealt with by a telegram or Zhao Erniu." The reason why there is none.

It is because, maybe he doesn't think that Ran Zhuang's loss is a big deal, or even a completely bad thing, at least this incident can give our commanders and fighters a wake-up call and ring the alarm bell.

For a long time, under the wise command and leadership of commanders and brigade commanders, we have won many battles, and it is inevitable that we will be more or less arrogant and a little carried away from the middle and grassroots officers to the front-line soldiers!

The fiasco of Ranzhuang was just able to curb the breeding of this kind of thinking that was unfavorable to our side, so that the majority of commanders and fighters understood that they could not get carried away with their pride, and the arrogant soldiers would be defeated! ”
