Qiao Youhua, Liu Jianhua and others led the cavalry battalion after several hours of rapid marching, bypassing Shimen, and finally arrived in the southeast area of Xinle.

The cavalry scouts sent out brought back strange news that all the Japanese puppet troops along the railway line between Xinle and Shimen had retreated towards Shimen.

Qiao Youhua, who didn't know why, immediately sent a telegram to Jiang Haidong's group, and Jiang Haidong called back that the Japanese army had indeed retreated in the direction of Shimen, but for the time being, it was impossible to guess and judge their true intentions.

Liu Jianhua came to Qiao Youhua's side and asked: "Commander, I didn't expect that the devils were even more ineffective than we imagined, and before we hit the Xinle Railway, they took the initiative to shrink their forces and retreat." ”

"Well, I didn't expect it either, it seems that the Japanese commander is quite cautious." Qiao Youhua nodded thoughtfully.

"So what do we do next?" Liu Jianhua asked.

Qiao Youhua waved his hand for Zhao Tiezhu to bring the map, put it on the ground and opened it, looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Inform the first regiment to immediately send a part of the troops north to Xinle to assist us in the surprise attack on Xinle.

I want to see if the 21st Division can really hold its breath and abandon the north and south railway lines.

Oh, by the way, in addition, send a telegram to Wu Ming's third regiment and Ma Biao's second regiment, just in case! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Tiezhu suddenly agreed, and quickly turned around to find the signal soldier.

Qiao Youhua stood up, rolled up the map, and said to Liu Jianhua: "Order the troops, set off in ten minutes, and target Xinle County!" ”

In fact, one of the main reasons for fighting Xinle County is also because the Japanese puppet army in Xinle County has suffered a great loss of strength after the attack of the previous regiment, even if it is only a matter of taking it with the cavalry battalion, as for calling a regiment, it is just for the sake of insurance and prevention.

And the current situation seems to be a little smoother than Qiao Youhua expected.

If he could, Qiao Youhua wanted the troops to take the opportunity to recover Xinle and Xingtang counties, and expand the scope and strategic depth of the base areas, even if these two counties were used as base areas in the future, and it would be good to be on the front guard and slow down the Japanese army's attack.

What's more, there are still no less than 100,000 or 200,000 people in these two counties, which can provide a lot of excellent soldiers for the expansion of the Dragon's Tooth Column in the future.

Since ancient times, there have been many generous and sad people in the land of Yan Zhao, and Yan Zhao Jian'er can often ride and shoot well, and the people are fierce, which is a good source of soldiers.

After all, as long as this batch of arsenal materials is transported into the base area, the development speed of the Dragon's Tooth Column will be greatly increased in the future, and the opportunity for further expansion will not be far off.

You can also use this to test the true intentions of the 21st Division, so why not?

Jiang Haidong, who had already led the main force of the regiment to retreat to Lingshou County for rest, leaving only part of the troops to monitor Xinle and the traces of the Japanese army in the Tang area, after receiving Qiao Youhua's order, quickly personally led the main force of the artillery company directly under the two infantry battalions and one regiment, starting from Lingshou, going north again, rushing to Xinle to meet Qiao Youhua.

In today's Xinle County, the strength of the Japanese puppet army is less than 400 people, of which the puppet army still accounts for the vast majority. However, this Japanese puppet army did not abandon the county seat, even when it was learned that the friendly forces of the 83rd Infantry Wing of the 21st Division had withdrawn to Shimen.

The leader of these puppet army officers is called Zhao Haipeng, about 30 years old, who was a famous local robber in Xinle in the past, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, and now he has changed his yellow skin and has become the security captain of the Imperial Association Army in Xinle County.

The reason why Zhao Haipeng was able to run rampant and domineering in the Xinle area was not only because he was fierce by nature, but also because he was very cunning, no, he had already smelled the uneasy atmosphere, after all, the troops of the 83rd Infantry Wing were withdrawn, and Xinle plus Xingtang, which had already been empty, the Japanese puppet army had less than 500 people.

This little force is not withdrawn, and it is too dangerous to be placed here in front of the prestigious Dragon Tooth Task Force.

Therefore, he had the courage to come to the office of the commander of the Japanese garrison in Xinle, Shima U Nakasa, to find out.

"Zhao Sang, you came to me for something?" Daoyu Zhongsa is a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old devil with a mustache, and when he saw Zhao Haipeng coming in, he sat on the chair and looked up and asked, his face was very calm, and he couldn't see a trace of waves.

"Taijun, there is indeed something to come to your Excellency, our troops are too small, is it too dangerous to stay here?" Zhao Haipeng asked boldly, and after speaking, he quietly raised his head and observed the face of Yuzhong Zuo Shimoshima, and he was also sincerely afraid of hatred in his heart.

If he had killed Zhao Haipeng in the past, he wouldn't have dared to ask that, but now he dares, because two-thirds of the defenders in the city are his subordinates, and the Japanese should not turn against him at this time.

Zhao Haipeng bet right, sure enough, in the past, he was angry at every turn, he opened his mouth to scold, and he raised his hand to hit Daoyu Zhongzuo's face just inadvertently changed, and finally stood up calmly and said to Zhao Haipeng: "Zhao Sang, are you worried about the city defense of Xinle County?" ”

Zhao Haipeng was a little drumming in his heart, and cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, seeing Daoyu say this, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, I'm really worried about my humble position, after all, the Dragon Tooth Task Force is too powerful, and we don't have enough troops in our hands, once they attack again, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it!" ”

Daoyu Zhongzuo bypassed the desk, walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zhao Sang, you have bothered a lot, tell you a good news, the imperial army has urgently transferred a chariot brigade, two infantry brigades and a brigade of the imperial army from Baoding, and urgently went south along the railway line to help Xinle and Xingtang.

It shouldn't be long before we arrive. ”

Zhao Haipeng was shocked when he heard this, looked up at Daoyu Zhongzuo, and said in his heart, no wonder this devil is so determined, so it is, fortunately he didn't say anything too ugly just now, otherwise it would be really dangerous.

"Really? That's great. ”

"However, before the reinforcements of the Imperial Army arrive, please also ask Zhao Sang and the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army to work harder and strengthen patrols and vigilance, just in case." Shima Unakasado Road.

Zhao Haipeng saluted excitedly and flatteringly: "Please rest assured, Taijun!" The humble post must go all out to go to the soup for the imperial army, and never give up! ”

"Haha, very good, as soon as the imperial army reinforcements arrive, it will be time for us to counterattack the Chinese army, and I will definitely ask the front army headquarters for Zhao Sang's commendation!" Shima Yu Nakasa said with a smile when he heard this.

"Thank you Daoyu Taijun, I retired first!" Zhao Haipeng hurriedly lowered his head as respectfully as if his son was talking to Lao Tzu, and he was a servile dog traitor.
