While Takahashi Ichiro and Yamada were arguing, in a forest three miles away from where Takahashi and the others were, five "big girls" were nervously monitoring the movements of the Japanese army.

A relatively young "girl" asked in a thick voice: "Captain, the little devil has stopped, we can't run yet"

The one who was called the captain ripped off the flower turban around his head and wiped it on his face, revealing a standard large... The big man's face gasped at the same time and said: "Run, why don't you run, the little devil stopped just to reconnoiter whether there was an ambush in the woods, and when they found that there was no danger, they would catch up again, and we still had to run." ”

The flower girls in the eyes of these five Japanese soldiers are the soldiers of the Fifth Field Division pretending, and their task is to pursue the small units of the Japanese army. For this reason, Han Yunhua deliberately sent dozens of "fugitive" teams with a large number of gold bars and silver dollars or a team of fleeing flower girls to circulate around in Wei County, and the squadrons and squads of the devils kept running in the predetermined direction. In order for the yin* devil to be fooled, Han Yunhua really invested enough money, and in just three or two days, the little devil seized at least 50,000 yuan of the ocean and more than 100 "little yellow croaker", which made Li Dayong, the commander of the Fifth Field Division in charge of the yin* devil, feel distressed when he said it, and all the scattered ones were the family funds that the Fifth Field Division had finally accumulated.

"Captain, we have already run more than thirty miles in the morning, and we will reach Huajialing in the first ten miles, I am afraid that the little devil will not be led by our nose, what should we do? Do you want to give the dog some sweetness......" Before the warrior could finish speaking, a younger warrior ran over and reported: "Captain, there is another devil unit outside the woods, it seems that it is an infantry squadron, they have begun to enter the woods, shall we continue to run forward?" ”

"Hurry up, the devil's squadron can run with us for a long time, and at a glance, you can know that it is not a mediocre hand, go" After speaking, the captain took the lead and ran.

Huajialing, the ambush position of the 1st Brigade of the 300th Division was reorganized.

"Brigade commander, news has come from the forward observation post that an infantry squadron of the devils has arrived at the periphery of Huajialing and is about to enter the ambush position of a regiment and a battalion, please instruct the brigade commander?" Li Shuangjiang, deputy commander and chief of staff of the 1st Brigade, asked Ma Jiayuan, commander of the 1st Brigade who was observing the map from the side.

Ma Jiayuan was one of the high-ranking cadres brought over from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region by Song Shilun, political commissar of the 300th Division, and served as a political commissar in the Third Military Sub-district of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region before arriving at the Inner Mongolia Military Region. After graduating from the crash course of senior command organized by Han Yunhua, he was transferred to the 1st Brigade as a brigade commander, and this encirclement and annihilation of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army was Ma Jiayuan's debut when he arrived at the 300th Division, so it was very important to him and the entire 300th Division and 1st Brigade.

Ma Jiayuan looked at Li Shuangjiang and thought for a while and said, "An infantry squadron?" It's still not qualified, how about devils in other directions? ”

"In addition to this devil's infantry squadron, there are two other infantry squadrons of the 33rd Division that have been fooled and are heading towards Huajialing. However, there is another point worth noting, that is, an infantry brigade of the 40th Division of the Japanese Army is also coming in the direction of Huajialing, and surprisingly occupies Futujiao. As long as the war breaks out on our side, the infantry brigade of the 40th Division will definitely come to help in the war, and we have to guard against it" Li Shuangjiang is in charge of all the operational staff officers and intelligence personnel of the 1st Brigade, so he knows more about intelligence than Ma Jiayuan.

Ma Jiayuan raised his head and said: "What to prevent, I'm still worried that just three infantry squadrons are not enough for the old devil of Gampa Jutaro to make a move, and now plus that devil's infantry brigade is not worried that the 33rd Division will not take the bait." Let the 1st Battalion put in the infantry squadron of this devil, and the troops will be hidden in the ravine south of Huajialing, let the 2nd Battalion withdraw from Huajialing with a little resistance, give up Huajialing Town to the Devil's infantry squadron, and let the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion establish a new blocking position at Niutou Mountain, two kilometers outside Huajialing Town, I will give the Japanese army a center to blossom and send a telegram to the division headquarters, tell the division commander about our situation, and ask him to order the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Brigade and the Tank Brigade to prepare for battle, I think in three hours at most, the big army of devils will arrive at Huajialing. ”

"Brigade commander, a single 33rd Division is nothing, anyway, according to the news from the inside, the 33rd Division is now a toothless tiger, which looks like a behemoth, but in fact it is already a paper tiger in the outside powerhouse. The entire 33rd Division was originally a C-class division with a quota of more than 14,000 people, and now the entire division cannot make up 8,000 people including the lightly wounded, although there are quite a few puppet troops fighting with the 33rd Division, and even more than the existing combat troops of the 33rd Division, there are more than four regiments under our control, and with their cooperation, the puppet army is already difficult to protect itself, and it is still capable of providing fire assistance to the Japanese army, so the 33rd Division is not enough. As long as that old devil of Gampa Shigetaro can't help but come to the rescue, our first brigade will be enough to deal with them, not to mention that we have the second brigade, the third brigade, and the chariot brigade behind us. But if the devil's 40th Division knew that one of their infantry brigades was surrounded by our army, with the character of the commander of the 40th Division, he would definitely lead troops to the rescue, although the situation of the 40th Division was similar to that of the 33rd Division, but there were still three independent mixed brigades behind them, if those three independent mixed brigades and nearly 10,000 puppet troops attacked us together, then we would be in trouble. Although we are not afraid of these two divisions and three infantry brigades of the devils in the reorganization of the 300th Division, it will not be easy to completely annihilate the 33rd Division. "Li Shuangjiang is a staff officer, and his strength is in strategic analysis, so his analysis is very meticulous and in place. …,

Ma Jiayuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, my chief of staff, who is the commander, his old man is a figure who counts five hundred years before and five hundred years later, how can his old man not know about the tricks of the little devil." This time, we have reorganized the 300th Division to take the lead as the main force in order to achieve a quick victory, and although the combat effectiveness of the 5th Field Division is not as good as our 300th Division, it is still no problem to contain the 40th Division for a day or two. Let's go and give orders first, and then we'll talk about the rest when we come back."

As soon as Li Shuangjiang heard that it was the commander's battle plan, he was immediately relieved, and the name Han Yunhua was no longer just a leading cadre in the hearts of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, and in the hearts of the vast majority of soldiers, Han Yunhua represented victory, invincibility, and combat and meritorious service. They adored Han Yunhua frantically and unswervingly implemented any decision Han Yunhua made. Perhaps this is the legendary cult of personality and mountaineering, although these things are very mysterious and are resolutely put an end to by the Party Central Committee, but they also do exist.

Going back to Takahashi Ichiro and Yamada Nakayi, the two infantry squadrons, after a brief reconnaissance to determine that there was no ambush in the woods, ordered the troops to immediately enter the woods to capture the five cunning Shina flower girls. There are also capable people in the Japanese army, although the five fighters did deliberately leave a lot of traces of action, but a few devil scouts can judge the escape path of the soldiers of the fifth division in a very short time.

This time, the speed of the Japanese pursuit was very fast, and the Japanese army saw the figure of the "flower girl" from a distance in nearly half an hour, and the terrain gradually slowed down as soon as it came out of the woods, and even the uneven mountain roads along the way became relatively flat mountain paths.

Takahashi Ichiro and Yamada Nakayi glanced at each other, and they both saw happy looks in each other's eyes. Once the terrain is flattened, then the flower girls in China have not become turtles in the urn, and it is not a matter of time to catch them, and they are not worried about where those flower girls can escape at all.

But just when he was proud, there was a fierce gunfire in the distance, which was different from Yamada Zhongyi's standard Lu University graduate recruits, more than ten years of military experience made him far more sensitive than Yamada Zhongyi, as soon as he heard this gunshot, he knew that it was the sound of the Empire's Type 38 rifle, and some of it was sent by the German Mauser K98 rifle, and there was only one army equipped with Mauser K98 rifles in the entire North China region, that is, the Ministry of Han Yunhua of China, So soon Takahashi Ichiro judged that one of the two sides was the Japanese army, and the other side was Han Yunhua's department. Moreover, with many years of experience, Takahashi Ichiro judged that at this time, the imperial side should have the advantage, and the Shina troops were gradually withdrawing to the north.

With these judgments in mind, Captain Takahashi Ichiro immediately ordered his troops to move closer in the direction of the gunfire and sent a combat team of twelve people to the front to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. Although Yamada Nakayi held himself as a graduate of the Army University, he was reluctant to follow Takahashi Ichiro in action. However, Takahashi Ichiro was known for his rich experience in the entire 33rd Division, and it is also an indisputable fact that the troops led by Captain Takahashi Ichiro usually suffered the smallest losses in battle, so this is one of the reasons why many people look down on or are naked and jealous of Takahashi Ichiro and the entire Takahashi squadron.

And Takahashi Ichiro's abnormal behavior surprised Yamada Zhongyi, although he didn't know Takahashi Ichiro, but Takahashi Ichiro's personality he had heard of, in people's rumors Takahashi Ichiro is an extremely cautious person, generally unless there is an order from his superiors, no matter how much temptation he has in front of him, he will not take the initiative to go to the battlefield. This time, when this guy heard the gunshot, he didn't even want the prey he was about to capture, and took the initiative to run to the battlefield with his troops.

As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, they are demons. There must be a reason for the timid Takahashi Ichiro to do this, isn't it just a mere five flower girls, Lao Tzu is still up. Yamada Nakayi immediately ordered the troops to stop pursuing the flower girl in front, and instead organized the troops to run to the battlefield not far away in an attack formation.

By the time Captain Takahashi Ichiro arrived at the battlefield with Takahashi's squadron, it was already the end of the battle, and an infantry squadron of the Imperial Army had gradually driven about a battalion of Shina infantry out of a town. Although the infantry battalion of the branch seemed very reluctant to be driven out by the imperial army like this, when he saw the Takahashi squadron, he thought that the imperial army had come to reinforce it, so the commander of the branch gave the order to retreat very decisively. …,

After entering the town, Captain Takahashi Ichiro found that the Imperial Army squadron that was the first to enter the battle was not an outsider, and it had something to do with him, and the person who came was the first squadron of the second brigade of the 213th Infantry Wing, which belonged to him, and could be regarded as the absolute main squadron of the entire 213th Infantry Wing. And the squadron leader of the first squadron of the second brigade, Captain Asa Gytaro, was from Sendai at the same time as him, so he and Asa Gytaro were the most familiar with him in the entire 33rd Division, and they were quite good friends.

Originally, Ma Ji Taro was very unhappy when he saw someone scare away his prey, and the imperial army on the opposite side was also an infantry squadron, so at first Ma Ji Taro was ready to teach this blind guy a lesson. But when he saw that it was his friend Takahashi Ichiro, Asa Icotaro was surprised and very happy, Takahashi Ichiro had not yet walked to his side Asahagi Taro shouted loudly from afar: "Hahaha, Takahashi is really you, I didn't expect to see you in this small place, is it a gift from His Majesty the Emperor?" ”。

"Hahaha, Ma Blame, even you kid can't stand the loneliness, it seems that the temptation of wealth and flower girl is really big?" Takahashi Ichiro said with a smile.

Ma Ji Taro replied: "Takahashi, don't talk about me, even you cowardly guy has come out, how can I watch you get rich and be indifferent"

Takahashi Ichiro sighed and said: "I can't hide it, I really don't want to come to this place where there is no bullshit to suffer, it's just that my soldiers can't stand the loneliness, they see others getting rich, so they encourage me to follow them crazy." Hehehe"

"Hehehe, the people of China are indeed much more cunning than before, we only found a few people in the whole morning, and we found dozens of silver dollars from them, but when I came here, I met a battalion of China's troops, this branch of China troops protected more than two hundred people of China and retreated to the north, there were dozens of carriages in that convoy, and the cars were loaded with real money, if it weren't for the fact that I only had one infantry squadron at hand, and the people of China had more than 400 people, Otherwise, how could those people escape, it's a pity," said Ma Ji Taro with regret.

Takahashi Ichiro comforted: "Taro, forget it, the branch is so big, there is so much wealth, you didn't catch those branch landlords this time, there will be opportunities in the future, I think we should retreat quickly." ”

Ma Ji Taro looked at Takahashi Ichiro and Yamada Zhongyi, who had just arrived, and said: "There are only more than 400 people in that branch of China just now, and we now have more than 600 people, and we still have enough ammunition, besides, the China army has to cover those hundreds of China farmers, so they will definitely not be able to go fast, I think we still have a chance, I wonder if you are willing to go with me to pursue that branch of China?" ”

"Yo Xi, Ma Zhijun, I think it is necessary for us to pursue the fleeing Chinese troops, whether it is for the sake of those dozens of carts of property or for the destruction of the more than 400 troops! The 2nd Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 214th Infantry Wing was willing to assist Ma Zhijun in the pursuit of that Chinese force. ”

"This is not very good, without the order of His Excellency the Division Commander, we have already violated military discipline by going out to sweep without the consent of the Division Commander, if there is a large-scale conflict with the Chinese troops without the consent of the Division Commander, if His Excellency the Division Commander blames us, we can not withstand the anger of His Excellency the Division Commander" Takahashi Ichiro and Yamada Zhongyi did not answer in agreement, obviously Yamada Zhongyi couldn't help but pay attention to the dozens of cars of wealth, while Takahashi Ichiro was worried about the division commander's blame.

But Asa Gyotaro had seen the dozens of carts of belongings with his own eyes, and he had seen the treasure chests full of gold and silver treasures, and the dazzling gold and silver had already fascinated the eyes of Captain Asagitaro. The strength of the troops in his hands was limited just now, and the strength of the Shina troops on the opposite side was obviously stronger than them, if it weren't for the Shina people to protect the peasants in this town, otherwise he, the infantry squadron, would not dare to provoke the Shina troops who were all equipped with German-style equipment at will.

However, now it is different, he now has three infantry squadrons at hand, and there are nine small steel cannons alone, and in the battle just now, he did not see the people of China using artillery, with the support of these artillery, Ma Ji Taro believes that at most an hour can completely annihilate the infantry battalion in China, and rob the dozens of boxes of property, so Ma Ji Taro is determined to pursue.

Unable to resist the persuasion of Asahita and the temptation of a large amount of money, Takahashi Ichiro finally agreed to Asahagi's request. Under the joint command of the three lieutenants, Icharo Asahagi, Ichiro Takahashi, and Yamada Nakayi, the infantry squadrons of the three devils were united, leaving an infantry squad to take care of the wounded while garrisoning Huajialing Town, and the remaining more than 500 soldiers immediately pursued in the direction of the Chinese army's escape.

As soon as the troops led by Asa Kitaro and others left Huajialing Town, the headquarters of the First Brigade of the 300th Integrated Division, which was located 10 kilometers away from Huajialing Town, received the news. Ma Jiayuan did not dare to slack off, and while sending a report to Yang Chengwu, he ordered a regiment and a battalion to immediately block the road leading from Huajialing Town to Wei County, and then immediately reoccupied Huajialing Town.

After receiving the order, the 1st Brigade, 1st Regiment, and 1st Battalion immediately quietly moved to the outskirts of Huajialing Town, and launched a surprise attack when the Japanese army's left-behind squad was unprepared, and the left-behind infantry squad was wiped out by the 6 or 700 soldiers of the 1st Battalion almost without effective resistance.

In fact, when the first battalion occupied Huajialing, it should have already exchanged fire with Ma Ji Taro and others. Although the gunfire in the direction of Huajialing also attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and also thought that Huajialing might be attacked, but at that time, the second battalion did not let the Japanese troops withdraw at all, so Ma Jitaro ordered the troops to immediately organize defense on the spot while focusing on attack and defense, and on the other hand, he sent a ......telegram to the 213th Infantry Wing for operational guidance.
