Shimen County, where the Japanese army recaptured.

It's just that, like Luquan, the military warehouses and various landmark buildings representing the Japanese army in the county were completely destroyed by the guerrillas when they withdrew.

After the chief of staff of the 13th Mixed Brigade, Sakai Fadasa, led 3,000 elite infantry into the county seat, his face was not very good, because the cavalry sent out failed to catch up with the fleeing guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, but lost nearly 200 people, leaving only 800 cavalry.

In a courtyard temporarily occupied, Sakai was drinking sullenly, and there were two Japanese officers standing next to him, who didn't even dare to breathe, and stayed aside as if walking on thin ice.

After drinking a cup of sake, Sakai raised his head and squinted at a captain officer standing behind him on his left hand, and said, "The cavalry has been sent?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Dazuo, all the eight hundred cavalry have been sent out, in addition, all the towns and strongholds in Luquan and Shimen have also arranged scouts, and once they find that Tubalu, they will immediately send a signal flare to report!" The lieutenant officer didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied.

Sakai refilled a cup for himself, and was about to drink it all again, when suddenly there was a loud and rapid sound of horses' hooves outside.

A Japanese cavalry scout came at a gallop, turned over and dismounted, ran into the courtyard panting, and saluted Sakai Fa: "Sir, there is an alarm from Erdaogouzi, where is it attacked by the Tubalu guerrillas, ask for emergency support!" ”

"What? Two ditches? Sakai was furious when he heard this, and suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is the cavalry brigade?" ”

"At present, the cavalry brigade is scattered all over Shimen to search for the whereabouts of Tubalu, and if you want to complete the assembly, it will take at least twenty minutes." The devil cavalry scout replied.

"Search and suppress, and search and suppress, your cavalry is a group of rice buckets, such a large-scale search, you can still blatantly attack Erdaogou on the eight roads of China! Immediately order all the cavalry and hurry to Erdaogou! This time, we must completely annihilate the Chinese army, otherwise that waste on Qianchuan Island won't have to come to see me! Sakai's face turned red, obviously a little drunk.

"Hay!" The devil cavalry scout hurriedly bowed his head in response, turned around and quickly took the order.

The Japanese captain next to him cautiously asked, "Sir, should we set off for Erdaogou immediately?" ”

"Yo Xi, you personally lead an infantry brigade and set off quickly to prevent the cavalry brigade from being unable to handle it, after all, this Tubalu army is cunning and big!" Sakai Nodding as he drank all the wine in the cup.

The devil captain also hurriedly bowed his head in response, and strode away with his saber on his shoulder.

At Erdaogouzi Station, fires erupted and gunshots rang out.

In the dark night, I don't know how many officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army let out a deafening shouting of killing, and continued to storm the station.

About three kilometers away from the station, on the earthen hill on the side of the road leading to Erdaogouzi, Zheng Yunshan, who followed Qiao Youhua and led most of the main force hidden here, said with emotion: "Regiment Commander, I didn't expect that after almost a year, we will fight in Erdaogouzi again. ”

Qiao Youhua, who was lying on the earthen hill and smoking in the ambush fortifications built temporarily, smiled and said: "This is called revisiting the old place, tonight, Erdaogou is the burial place of the devil cavalry!" ”

"Will the devil cavalry not pass by here?" Zheng Yunshan said a little worriedly.

Qiao Youhua smoked a cigarette and said in his chest: "Don't worry, with the distance from Shimen here, the first devil to arrive must have been a cavalry, and the devil's cavalry will definitely not dare to disperse and fight with us in small groups after the daytime battle, and they will definitely gather together and kill Erdaogouzi together."

And to accommodate thousands of cavalry, this official road that we are ambushing now is the only way to Erdaogouzi, so wait patiently, there will be no mistake. ”

After listening to Qiao Youhua's analysis, Zheng Yunshan nodded and said no more.

Under the darkness of the night, nearly 700 guerrillas hid in two groups on both sides of the official road, motionless, and the originally quiet night was now a little noisy because of the constant explosions, gunshots, and shouts of killing from Erdaogou, three kilometers away.

In order to ambush the devil's cavalry, Qiao Youhua ordered someone to temporarily plant explosives on the official road in front of him, and one of the fuses was pressed under Qiao Youhua's body.

In addition, Qiao Youhua also allocated as much as possible the light machine guns captured in these battles to the guerrillas who participated in the ambush.

After the first few battles, the number of light machine guns in this guerrilla force of nearly 1,000 people has reached an astonishing 100, and it is precisely because of so many light machine guns that Qiao Youhua has the confidence to set up an ambush in Erdaogou, where the terrain is not dangerous.

Come to the usual encirclement reinforcements.

After Qiao Youhua finished smoking two cigarettes, there was finally a long-lost rumbling sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground on the official road in the distance, and nearly 10,000 horses' hooves rushed to each other, with an astonishing momentum, as if it had overshadowed the fierce battle sound of the two ditches several miles away.

Qiao Youhua immediately turned over and got up, Zheng Yunshan and the guerrillas around him all came to their senses one by one, as if a bloodthirsty beast was waiting for their prey, they were full of energy, all kinds of guns were raised, and the pitch-black muzzles were silently aimed at the official road in front of them.

On the dirt hill opposite, Scarface was even more overjoyed, and said in a low voice, "It's finally here", and immediately operated a Type 92 heavy machine gun that had been erected a long time ago.

Boom, boom, knock...... The stirring and blood-boiling sound of the galloping of war horses became closer and closer, and many soldiers clutched the steel spears in their hands tightly.

"Erdaogou Zidi is in front, the fierce battle is still continuing, we are not late, hurry up and rush over and kill the Guangzhi person!" In the distance, Qiao Youhua heard a ghost officer say excitedly and loudly.

Eight hundred devil cavalry pulled out a march as long as two miles on the official road that was not too wide, when the dozens of devil cavalry at the front rushed headlong into their own ambush circle.

Qiao Youhua immediately sounded the fuse!

"Boom, boom, boom...... Boom, boom......, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions suddenly rose to the ground, and the firelight produced by the explosion in the dark night was extremely dazzling, instantly engulfing the dozens of devil cavalry.

The screams of the war horses and the screams of the devil cavalry before they died had not yet dissipated, and within a radius of hundreds of meters on both sides of the road, more than a hundred light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles opened fire one after another.

While the gunfire was fired, some grenades were thrown by the riflemen.

The Devil Cavalry team, which was rushing at full speed, had no time to react in the face of the sudden attack.

The violent explosion in front instantly brought down thirty or forty devil cavalry, and the dozens of devil cavalry who followed up couldn't restrain their inertia and tripped over horse corpses and human corpses everywhere and fell to the ground.

The devil cavalry trampled on each other, and it was unbearable to see, and at the beginning of the battle, nearly 100 people were killed and wounded.
