    On October 30, Asaburo Takahashi ordered the troops to surround the entire town of Xuzhuang, and sent troops to search the people door to door. All men, women, and children rushed to the playground of the primary school in the town, and machine guns were set up all around.

    Takahashi Asaburo asked the people in the town to hand over the national army spies. If they don¡¯t hand over the spies, they will all die!

    "However, Li Guoyao's department did not form a grassroots organization in Xuzhuang Town, nor did it form a militia or anything. If anything happened, they would always contact the old security chief Wang Youcai. There was really no one the little devil wanted.

    Seeing that the people in the town refused to surrender, Asaburo Takahashi became angry and immediately ordered people to kill people. In his words, if they refused to surrender, they would continue to kill them.

    While killing people, a large number of Japanese troops began to search every house in the town. Whether it was rice, flour, grain and oil, livestock, gold and silver, they were their targets.

    This atrocity lasted from noon to 7 pm. On that day, more than 300 people were killed by the Japs. In addition, more than 50 young girls and wives were captured by the Japs. The rest were all imprisoned in primary schools.  .

    When Zhou Zhiwei¡¯s cavalry appeared in Xuzhuang Town, most of the Japanese soldiers were having fun in the temporary barracks. Even Takahashi Asaburo and several of his confidants were drinking at the Li family, the richest family in Xuzhuang Town.

    Of course, drinking is not just about wine, beautiful girls are indispensable.

    The main reason why the Japanese army is so lax at this time is that the situation reported back from the front line in the past few days is relatively good. In addition, due to the terrain, they do not believe that the Chinese army will cross the defense line composed of thousands of troops to attack Xuzhuang Town.  .

    However, they didn¡¯t know that Zhang Tengjiao¡¯s men were very familiar with the nearby terrain. They bypassed several mountains and suddenly appeared in Xuzhuang Town.

    Zhou Zhiwei was originally a captain of the cavalry brigade, and was later transferred to the first column as the captain of the cavalry squadron. Not long ago, the cavalry unit of the first column was expanded into a cavalry brigade, so he naturally became the captain.

    Zhou Zhiwei¡¯s own cultural level is not high, but he is good at learning, so he is very valued by Zhang Tengjiao.

    During this sneak attack on Xuzhuang Town, Zhang Tengjiao thought about it and finally decided to let Zhou Zhiwei lead the team. He knew that the cavalry captain was not only brave in fighting, but also a general who knew how to use his brain to fight.

    Zhou Zhiwei did not disappoint Zhang Tengjiao. When he was still more than five miles away from Xuzhuang Town, he ordered all the troops to dismount and wrap all the horses' hooves with linen, and then cover the horses' mouths with lun heads to minimize the time when the horses were running.  The sound it makes.

    This move was very good. It was not until the cavalry brigade was less than 500 meters away from Xuzhuang Town that the Japanese guards noticed something was wrong, but by then it was already too late.

    The distance of five hundred meters is still a long way for the infantry, but for the cavalry riding on the galloping horses, the distance of five hundred meters is really too short.

    Before the Japanese machine gun could finish a magazine, Zhou Zhiwei's cavalry brigade had already rushed into Xuzhuang Town.

    As soon as the gunfire rang out, Takahashi Asaburo, who had just vented his anger on a flower girl, knew that something bad was going on. The army actually came to attack the Xuzhuang Town garrison.

    Lieutenant Colonel Asaburo Takahashi quickly ran out, not caring about the few confidants who were still there drinking non-stop. He immediately ran to the temporary headquarters in one breath and quickly sent a report to Shinozuka Kunigoro on the front line, requesting Shinozuka  Colonel Kunigoro returned to support Xuzhuang Town and ordered the officers in the military camp to organize troops to counterattack.

    However, the ensuing battle shocked Lieutenant Colonel Takahashi. He saw that the Chinese troops who rushed into the town were all cavalry. After these guys rushed into the town, they waved their sabers and chased the fleeing Japanese and puppet troops.

    In front of the cavalry, the infantry without cover is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no power to resist.

    Originally, the town was not suitable for cavalry operations, but because the Japanese army ordered the troops to knock down all the houses and courtyards in the town that affected shooting in order to better control the area, the town suddenly became suitable for cavalry charges.

    The sudden appearance of the Chinese cavalry shocked the Japanese troops guarding Xuzhuang Town. The Japs immediately set up machine guns built at the fire points to fight back.

    But because the distance was too close, the Japs at each firing point basically just finished shooting a magazine, and before they had time to change their magazines, Zhang Tengjiao's cavalry rushed up.

    Cavalry vs. infantry is not one-sided. The combat effectiveness of cavalry at close range is much stronger than that of infantry. In addition, more than 700 cavalry can deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in their early 1,000s, and the battle is almost without suspense.

    However, just when Zhou Zhiwei and others thought the battle was over,?When it was over soon, Asaburo Takahashi actually ordered the remaining troops to abandon other firepower points and positions, all evacuate to the elementary school in the town, and threatened Zhou Zhiwei with the civilians imprisoned in the school.

    After learning that there were fifteen to six hundred civilians imprisoned in the primary school, Zhou Zhiwei and others were shocked, and at the same time, they stopped the attack under the influence of the rat weapon.

    "After all, these are more than a thousand and a few thousand ordinary people. If they launch a force attack, they may not only accidentally injure the ordinary people, but also force the little devils to jump over the wall and massacre these poor ordinary people.

    Seeing that the Chinese army had stopped attacking, Asaburo Takahashi immediately sent people over to negotiate with Zhou Zhiwei and others. He asked Zhou Zhiwei's troops to evacuate Xuzhuang Town immediately, otherwise he would start killing people, killing a hundred people in the first batch, until  until Zhou Zhiwei and others evacuated.

    "But Zhou Zhiwei is not a fool. His mission is to attack Xuzhuang Town. If he fails to complete the mission, not only will the column commander have a hard time explaining it, Commander-in-Chief Li will also have no way to explain it.

    Therefore, he decisively rejected Takahashi Asaburo's request, and at the same time asked someone to send him a message. If Takahashi and others were willing to surrender, he could guarantee their life safety, and forget about anything else.

    ¡°In addition, if the Japanese army dares to kill people, they will immediately launch a strong attack, and after the breakthrough, all Japanese soldiers in the city will be executed.

    Takahashi Asaburo is also in a dilemma at this time. Surrender is definitely not allowed. Not to mention that after surrender, they will be stained for life. Their family and friends will also be looked down upon, and they will be bullied and insulted.

    More importantly, they all knew what they were doing in this small Chinese town. Once caught, even if the soldiers did not kill them, they would be eaten alive by the common people with eyes full of hatred.

    But if they were asked to kill people, they wouldn't dare. There are still more than 100 Japanese troops and more than 300 puppet troops in the primary school, while there are 500 or 600 national troops outside. There is only a wall of dirt in the primary school.  The wall simply cannot withstand the impact.

    Once the courtyard wall is broken, they alone will not be able to stop so many cavalry assaults!

    For a moment, Asaburo Takahashi was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do!

    Both sides fell into silence, and the scene rarely calmed down!

    However, both parties have a tacit understanding, and they immediately thought of sending a report to Shangfeng for instructions!

    However, at this time, the national army and the Japanese army on the front line were already entangled, and even the headquarters was involved in the front-line battle. Both Zhang Tengjiao and Shinozuka Kunigoro had too much to take care of themselves, so they still had to worry about Xuzhuang Town.

    Neither of the two people who received a response knew what was happening on the front line. Both of them felt uneasy and did not dare to drag on any longer, so the two sides started the second round of negotiations.

    But the essential requirements of both parties are contradictory and have the most fundamental conflict, so it is impossible to reach an agreement at the negotiation table.

    Despite this, neither side dared to take any drastic action, and the two sides faced off for more than two hours in the small town of Xuzhuang.

    However, just when Zhou Zhiwei and others were about to agree to the little devil's request, the appearance of a little girl completely changed their attention.

    The little girl ran to the cavalry by herself. When she came, she only had a piece of broken clothes hanging down on her body, and most of her body was exposed in the air.

    According to the little girl, her name is Li Xueling, she is the youngest daughter of Li Youde, a wealthy businessman in the town, and she is only 16 years old this year.  Today, the little devil suddenly broke into her house and took her father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and her into the elementary school. After that, the little devil started killing people, killing corpses all over the large classrooms in the elementary school.

    During this period, her father, mother, and brother were all killed by the Japs, and she and a dozen little sisters were taken back to her old home by the Japs in the evening, where they suffered inhuman torture.  Until the troops came in.

    At first they were all frightened and everyone hid, but in order to avenge her parents, she decided to come out and try her luck, and finally found the army at the elementary school.

    After listening to the little girl¡¯s cry, all the soldiers, including Zhou Zhiwei, were filled with indignation, and a blazing anger arose in their chests.

    At the same time, Zhou Zhiwei also made the decision to stop talking and attack directly!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
