The scout said solemnly to Zhao Tiezhu: "Battalion commander, I can see clearly, the devil has indeed temporarily built a field fortification, and the two Japanese tanks that escaped before have also been regrouped.

If, at this time, we charge again, we will be blocked by the devil's powerful and dense firepower, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Just when Zhao Tiezhu was in a dilemma, a cavalryman galloped from behind them.

Zhao Tiezhu and the cavalry under his command were attracted by the sudden sound of horses' hooves, and they all turned their heads to follow the prestige, and the cavalry soldier rushed to the front of the cavalry team in a hurry, restrained the war horse, and said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Battalion commander, the commander has ordered the third division and three regiments to urgently reinforce us."

Now that the 3rd Infantry Regiment is rapidly assembling and is coming, I have come to inform you and the brethren to be patient for the time being, and not to let the devils move towards the railway station. ”

As soon as he heard that the commander had sent reinforcements, Zhao Tiezhu was overjoyed, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Platoon leader, you take people out of a safe distance to monitor the movements of the Japanese army, and if they have any trouble, report back immediately!" ”

"Yes!" A second lieutenant platoon commander immediately rode out of the battle, roared away with dozens of cavalry soldiers, and soon disappeared from the sight of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion.

In the ring fortification of the Japanese army, the wing commander of this Japanese wing was standing in a trench that had just been dug with a gloomy face, looking at his own soldiers who were still busy digging fortifications around him, silent.

The battle just now was really a wretch, and more than 3,000 of them were attacked by a dragon tooth cavalry of less than 1,000 people, and they were not only beaten and lost their armor, but also lost four very precious tanks and chariots.

Up to now, this Japanese soldier has not been able to come out of the depression of the huge loss, and his mind is full of bitter hatred for the dragon tooth cavalry, looking forward to the dragon tooth cavalry appearing again, and then relying on his own defensive firepower, to inflict a lot of casualties.

A Japanese soldier came to his side with a saber on his shoulder, bowed his head slightly to him and said, "Your Excellency Dazuo, our casualties have been counted, in the battle just now, we sacrificed 637 imperial warriors, and more than 200 were wounded. ”

It's better not to listen to the results of the battle, but when he heard this, the old devil was even more furious, and kicked an empty ammunition box in front of him to the ground with a pale face, and angrily reprimanded: "Baga, damn! In such a short period of time, we have lost nearly a third of our troops! It's so hateful! ”

The devil Shaozuo said tremblingly: "Your Excellency Dazuo, right now, I have just received an urgent telegram from the headquarters of the First Army from Taiyuan City, and the chief of staff of Hashimoto-kun and the commander of the Kazuki Seiji have ordered us to rush to the railway station immediately to support the garrison in the south of the city and resist the attack of the Shina army. ”

Unexpectedly, the Japanese soldier refused and said: "No, we can't act rashly, otherwise the front foot of this side has just withdrawn, and the Chinese cavalry will be killed again, how should we deal with it?" ”

Devil Shaozuo was a little embarrassed: "However, the headquarters said that our city defense troops are fighting to the death with the Chinese army on the battlefield east of the railway station, because they are outnumbered, they are already vaguely invincible, and if they don't go to reinforcements, they are likely to be defeated!" ”

Hearing this, the devil Dazuo hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: "In this case, then you lead the first brigade to stay behind the palace, and the tanks are also left to you, in case the cavalry raids, I will lead the main force of the wing to rush to the south of the city railway station!" ”

At the moment, this devil soldier was divided into two routes, about 500 people, under the leadership of the Japanese Shaozo, together with two tanks, left behind the palace.

The remaining nearly 2,000 devils, led by their wing commanders, immediately stopped digging trenches, left the ring fortifications outside them, and rushed towards the Chengnan Railway Station.

A platoon of dragon tooth cavalry, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, discovered the abnormality of the devil for the first time, and immediately reported to Zhao Tiezhu: "Battalion commander, the little devil has moved, the soldiers are divided into two routes, leaving only a small group of troops behind the palace, and the main force is quietly withdrawing and going north to the railway station, it seems that he wants to reinforce the frontal battlefield." ”

Zhao Tiezhu just wanted to order the cavalry to charge and not give the devils a chance to support the frontal battlefield, but the Third Infantry Regiment sent by Zhao Youde, more than 3,000 elite infantry, arrived in time.

When the leading regiment commander saw Zhao Tiezhu, the two saluted each other, and Zhao Tiezhu took the initiative to say without waiting for him to ask: "The devil soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to the direction of the railway station to reinforce, leaving only a small force, we must stop them!" ”

The head of the team was Zhao Youde's old subordinate back then, who was in the same line as Zhao Tiezhu, and immediately nodded and said: "No problem, Battalion Commander Zhao, you are familiar with the enemy situation here, what do you say, I will listen to you!" ”

Zhao Tiezhu groaned slightly, and then said: "That's it, the devil has left two tank cars, this thing is a huge threat to our cavalry, especially if we charge head-on now, it will be a live target."

However, the devil's tank defense armor is weak, far from being comparable to the No. 4 tank equipped with our tank regiment, and only the MG34 general-purpose machine gun is needed, and it can be penetrated by close and dense strafing.

And you brought artillery, this thing, to fight the little devil's tank, must be a dozen and one accurate! Therefore, I decided that if you deal with the devils who left behind, as long as you kill those two devil tanks, the remaining more than 500 little devils will definitely not be enough for you to stuff your teeth between the teeth.

I will lead the cavalry battalion to chase the main force of the devil reinforcements, hold them down first, and wait until you have solved the more than 500 devil palace troops, and then immediately rush to reinforce them, and we will cooperate together to strive to completely annihilate this devil reinforcements. ”

The infantry commander nodded again and again when he heard this, and said happily: "Okay, no problem, let's split up." ”

Zhao Tiezhu nodded happily, immediately turned over and got on his horse, and shouted: "The cavalry battalion will follow me." ”

More than 700 dragon tooth cavalry rode their horses to follow, and soon galloped away like a whirlwind.

At this time, the commander of the third regiment immediately called several battalion commanders under his command and ordered them to arrange them one by one.

More than ten minutes later, more than 3,000 elite infantry under their leadership gradually approached the troops behind the devil's palace, and at this time, this devil was planning to abandon the ring fortifications and evacuate here.

More than a dozen gunners with four 60mm mortars quietly came to the back of the dirt slope about three or four hundred meters away from the devil, and quickly set up the four mortars.

Then, after the main gunner corrected the firing azimuth with his thumb, four mortars opened fire one after another.

Tom tom ...... Four mortar shells were fired one after another, whistling towards the two Japanese tanks hundreds of meters away.

The sudden whistling of shells surprised more than 500 devils, but by the time they sensed the danger and wanted to give the order to retreat, it was too late, and the four shells pierced the air under the influence of the firelight, screamed, and smashed down on the heads of the two tanks.
