"Division Commander, we will soon reach Liangcheng after passing the forest ahead. Should we ask the brothers to slow down? We are too far away from the main force of the imperial army."

The adjutant, who had little money, advised that after daybreak, he became more and more nervous and felt that something was going to happen.

Qian Bubu's face darkened, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why am I rushing to Liangcheng like this?

Isn't it just to take Liangcheng before the lady comes? As long as I make merit this time, the lady said that after I return, I will be the deputy commander of the First Cavalry Army.

By then, my army will have to be expanded. How much free money can I get?"

The adjutant looked at the greedy expression on Qian Budai's face and started laughing.

“Da da da…”

The two men were smiling brightly when the heavy machine guns in the woods across the street opened fire.

The heavy machine guns of the independent brigade have been equipped to the platoon, with MG42 general-purpose machine guns and Maxim heavy machine guns cross-configured, plus the automatic rifles used by the soldiers,

In an instant, the crossfire formed by countless tongues of fire in the woods caused the Japanese cavalrymen running in the front to fall off their horses one after another.

The sound of the heavy machine gun fire frightened the war horses, and they raised their front hooves and stopped moving forward.

Even though the enemy cavalry finally stopped, the bullets from the other side were like the scythe of the god of death, constantly reaping their lives.

What was even more fatal was that the Japanese cavalrymen behind could not control their horses at all under the sudden attack of the independent brigade. Countless horses trampled on each other, and countless Japanese cavalrymen were killed and wounded.

Qian Buduo hid in the middle of the team and shouted in fear, "Disperse, everyone disperse, don't crowd together."

The Japanese cavalrymen, who were defeated by the Fifth Regiment, happened to hear Qian Buduo's order as their horses moved restlessly.

The Japanese cavalrymen turned their horses and rushed into the woods not far away on both sides.

No matter how powerful the enemy's heavy machine guns are, as long as they run into the woods, even if their speed will slow down, it is better than being targets here.

The Japanese cavalry had just run halfway when suddenly a number of armored vehicles and heavy trucks appeared in the woods a few hundred meters away. The heavy machine guns on these vehicles fired a burst of "da da da..."

Just like bullets are free.

At the same time, the independent brigade at the back of the woods also opened fire, cutting off the enemy cavalry that had not yet entered the encirclement.

Just by hearing the gunshots, we knew that there were a lot of enemies ahead and their weapons were very powerful. Those Japanese devils who did not enter the encirclement turned around and ran, not caring about the officers at all.

The strategy of blocking the head, pinching the tail, and sweeping the middle formulated by Zhou Zhizhen was very successful. Although the Japanese cavalry at the back escaped, most of the cavalry in the encirclement were killed.

At 12 noon, Zhou Zhizhen and Wu Changkong arrived at the encirclement battlefield. Wu Changkong looked at the corpses on the ground and boasted,

"Old Zhou, this battle was well fought. The enemy's cavalry division is basically destroyed.

The main force of the division behind us plus the remaining Japanese devils have a maximum of 15,000 people. This way, our pressure is much less! "

"Report, Commander Wu, Commander Zhou, 7863 Japanese soldiers were killed in the encirclement, and 5346 guns, 36 pieces of ammunition, and 1365 war horses were seized."

Zhou Zhizhen looked at the corpses of war horses on the ground and said, "It's a pity that such good war horses were lost. Although we can't use them, it should be suitable to take them back for the militia."

Lu Lin, the political commissar of the Fifth Regiment, said with a smile, "Old Zhou, these are good enough. Don't you see how much ammunition we consumed?"

"Report, the fleeing Japanese invaders have joined the main force of the 26th Division and are now parked on the grassland 50 miles away."

Wu Changkong said, "Send a telegram to the reconnaissance troops, asking them to keep a close eye on the main force of the Japanese and report immediately if they have the possibility of changing direction.

This group of devils cannot reach Suicheng no matter what."

"Yes!"

After cleaning up the battlefield, the two regiments turned around and returned to Liangcheng.

At the Suicheng 26th Division Headquarters, Kuroda Shigenori had just received a report from the scouts.

The main force of the independent brigade set out from Linhe early this morning, passing through Salyu, Moto Town, and Taoer Town, and has now arrived at the small mound in Suicheng, Wuli.

It was less than 3 miles away from the Suicheng fortifications, and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side had even sent out troops to block the east and west gates.

"Why are the Ba Ga Ya Lu and Tu Ba Lu advancing so fast? Can't the garrisons in these places slow them down a little bit?"

Baiyin Chonger walked into the command center and said, "Your Excellency, the garrison troops in Taoerzhen sent a farewell telegram, which said that the Eighth Route Army was basically composed of heavy trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks.

These tanks were heavily armored, and a squadron from the division's anti-tank battalion was stationed there.

But the anti-tank weapons of the anti-tank squad had no effect on these tanks, whose armor was very thick.

According to the anti-tank squad leader, these tanks are very similar to the latest tanks of our ally, the Italian nation!"

"Baga, how could the Tubalu have our ally's tanks? What went wrong?

Chief of Staff, you should immediately send a telegram to the commander, explain the situation here, and ask the headquarters for help, asking them to send fighter planes for support.

Otherwise, Suicheng is likely to be captured in a short time."

"Hey!" Just as Baiyin Chong'er was about to go out, the signalman ran in.

"Report, Mr. Division Commander, the 11th Regiment sent a telegram saying that the st Mongolian Cavalry Division was ambushed by the Tubalu in the east of Liangcheng and suffered heavy losses.

The 11th and 12th Regiments were forced to stop 50 miles east of Liangcheng. Liangcheng was blocked and they could not open the road for a short time. "

"Bagayalu, why are the Tubalu so strong in combat? All the people in the 1st Cavalry Division deserve to die!"

Kuroda Shigenori did not expect that the main force of the division, which he had high hopes for, would not return on time, which put Suicheng's defense in trouble.

Shirogane Shigeji suggested, "Your Excellency, division commander, let's have the main force of the division go around Sandaoying and come back along the railway.

Although it’s a little slow, it’s safe at least.”

Kuroda Shigenori waved his hand, "That's all, let them go faster.

By the way, how are Tok's Tubalu troops doing?"

"We received a report from the Cavalry Regiment three hours ago. They blocked the Tuba troops heading north in Tuyao, northeast of Tok. They should have repelled their attack by now."

Finally there is good news. Kuroda Shigenori slowly breathed a sigh of relief. "Hurry up and send a telegram for help to the headquarters!"

The independent brigade's large-scale attack on Suicheng made a huge noise. The Eighth Route Army, the Japanese First Army Headquarters, the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Yanlaoxi Headquarters, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's 35th Army Headquarters all received information from here.

Yan Laoxi was very happy about the independent brigade's attack on Sui and Cha provinces. These people finally stopped attacking Jin Province, and it was good for them to get out.

It’s best to stay in Sui and Cha provinces and not come back.

At the headquarters of the 35th Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Fu Yisheng planned to take down the blanket while the Japanese had no time to pay attention to them.
