Like Yang Tianfeng, the pension for the death was six acres of land, which was enough for the martyrs' family to feed and live in the long run. As for the disability, it was also the same treatment. Yang Tianfeng was still planning to build a farm of the army to ensure that those who fought for the country would not be worried about cold and hunger.

"So that's it!" Ma Biao sighed with emotion, then shook his head and continued, "I can't do it, the first cavalry can't do it."

"Hate of the Japanese and their feelings for the country and nation are also factors that kill the enemy bravely." Yang Tianfeng knew that they could not do it because they only had military power and no regime. Unlike him, the Commissioner Office was fully supported, which was almost a system of military and political integration.

"Of course, it would be even better if the government could issue relevant laws." Yang Tianfeng sighed helplessly. He also knew that this might be impossible.

Liu Chen's expression was very sad. From Shandong to Henan, many officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives for their country. What did they get? Can their family members not worry about food and clothing now? How much effect can that little pension play? He was too lazy to even sigh, so he picked up the teacup and drank it in his mouth. The tea was so bitter.

"Actually, there is no way out." Yang Tianfeng said slowly: "The government may soon implement the integration of military and political affairs. If the commander-in-chief of the military can serve as the governor of Henan Province, he will make suggestions to him and consider all troops in the war zone, this policy is not impossible to be implemented."

Oh, Liu Chen's eyes lit up, he looked at Ma Biao, and nodded at the same time.

The sound of cannons suddenly sounded in the distance, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the other Japanese devils began. What surprised the Japanese and many people was that the battlefield was only seven or eight miles away from Huaiyang. It was so close to Huaiyang. The Japanese who came to help might relax their vigilance? The Japanese in Huaiyang City might soon fall from joy to despair.

The biggest difference between plain combat and mountain combat is the lack of geographical barriers as a support. The Japanese army's mobility and firepower advantages can be fully utilized, while our army's concealment has become more difficult.

But nothing is absolute. From the terrain, although there are no mountains in the plains for hiding, there are forests, villages, valleys, streams, reeds, seedlings, green gauze tents, and undulating land that are conducive to our army's concealment and ambushing the enemy.

After Yang Tianfeng and his staff surveyed the terrain, they cleverly used a small tributary of the Heihe River north of Huaiyang as a natural barrier to divide the Japanese army.

The south side of the river is the original strip-shaped river path, with a wide terrain, but it is a large depression. To the west is a large sand hill, about three miles long and several meters high, covered with thorns and red willow bushes; to the east and south of the depression are Xiaomazhuang and Liuzhuang, forming a natural defensive position, sandwiching the large depression with an inclined terrain.

The Third Column dared to ambush at the door of Huaiyang's house, which was beyond the expectation of the Japanese army who were urgently reinforced.

The battle began in Liuzhuang first. At a long distance, the troops in the village opened fire violently at the Japanese vanguard crossing the river, making a blocking gesture.

The Japanese vanguard was a squadron. After being attacked, they immediately launched their troops and attacked Liuzhuang. However, both attacks were repelled, and a small team of troops was lost under the fierce bombardment of the 60 mortars and grenade launchers.

The Japanese brigade then rushed to the north bank of the river and immediately divided his troops across the river from a stone bridge and a wooden bridge to support him. After most of the enemy arrived at the south bank of the river, the heavy force hidden behind Liuzhuang suddenly opened fire, and more than a dozen shells blew up the two bridges, using natural obstacles to complete the division of the enemy in an instant.

Then the firepower was fully opened, and the 120th mortars were forced to bombard the Japanese artillery troops crossing the river. Before they could even deploy, they destroyed their mountain cannons and infantry cannons before they entered the position.

The seven or eight hundred Japanese devils were cut off, and the hedgehog gathered in Henan. Although they realized that it was not good, they still organized troops to fight back desperately. Under the cover of the remaining mortars and grenade launchers, they repeatedly rushed towards Liuzhuang in the south.

The Japanese didn't know that there was a brigade of Guo's detachment in Liuzhuangzu, with more than 1,500 people defending and a large amount of artillery fire coordination.

The Japanese used waves to charge and encircle the circles. They used frequent methods, like surging waves slashing on a strong reef, but they smashed themselves to pieces again and again. Even a detour squadron was bombarded by the pre-submerged thunder cannons on the west side of Liuzhuang. The defenders were wiped out in the subsequent counterattack.

At this time, the Japanese army realized that the enemy on the opposite side not only had fortifications, but also had strong troops and strong firepower. The Japanese commander quickly adjusted his tactics, turned to attack south to defend, mobilized troops to go west, and prepared to occupy Shagang, a favorable position, waiting for support.

When the Japanese had just stepped onto the big beach in front of the sand hill, they were immediately attacked violently. Mortars and grenade launchers smashed down from the hill, and the dust that exploded was so stunning that people couldn't even open their eyes. The dense bullets were like raining, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese and retreated in a mess.

If it doesn't work, go east. The Japanese organized troops to run east. As soon as they saw Xiaomazhuang, a bombing from the Jinshanyuan artillery group caused the Japanese to be hit again, leaving nearly a hundred corpses and retreating.

The enemy was all on all sides, and the rivers on the back were blocked. The Japanese realized that they had fallen into the ambush circle of the opponent. The opponent was not in a hurry to attack, but just bombarded the Japanese in the depressions of three or four miles in radius with artillery fire. Each gun went down, accompanied by soil and dust, and there were always several Japanese casualties. The 120 heavy force had already shifted the target, and relied on the advantage of range to bombard the Japanese on the north bank of the river.

The front was frustrated and rushed left and right. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and their troops were less than 500. The troops participating in the war opened fire together, blocking violently and attacking the enemy sideways. The Japanese were like ants in a hot pan, rushing around in the pocket array, but they could not break through the "pocket array" and were gradually forced to retreat to the river bank.

The Japanese who were eager to jump over the wall organized a crazy offensive and rushed towards the Shagang west regardless of casualties. In fact, behind the madness, there were the most vicious tricks hidden.

After approaching Shagang, the Japanese fired poison gas bombs with few mortars. The poison smoke drifted westward with the wind, and soon flooded a piece of Shagang's position.

"Teacher, Tieacher!" Amid the crazy howling, the Japanese held the bayonet, straightened their bodies and rushed towards Shagang. This seemed to be a sure breakthrough.

Dada Dada... On the Shagang formation where the poisonous fog had just floated, dozens of machine guns, hundreds of rifles, and shotguns suddenly exploded, sounding like a blast of beans, and dense bullets splashed at the Japanese charging forward like rain.

Blood rain splattered in the air, and under the bleak moonlight, ugly corpses wearing gas masks fell down. The corpse pillows were on the slope in front of the Shagang position, and the dirty blood could no longer be absorbed by the saturated sand and soil, gathering into a small flow and flowing downwards.

This was the heaviest blow, and the sure-lost attack was shattered, not only with heavy casualties, but also destroyed the Japanese's confidence. Under the pursuit of revenge bullets, grenades and artillery shells, the Japanese retreated, leaving corpses all over the ground along the way.

Eight hundred, seven hundred, five hundred, four hundred, two hundred, less than three hours, the number of Japanese devils has been reduced at an astonishing speed. And the Japanese who have lost their artillery advantage will have at least one-third or even half of their combat power.

The sound of fierce guns and cannons suddenly sounded on the north bank of the river. The 14th Cavalry Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the Chiang Detachment, which was carrying out the decisive battle, followed by a raid from the cavalry, and then the raided slammed the Japanese back team, and the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division, which was ambushed on both sides of the left and right wings, also launched an attack.

More than 300 Japanese were surrounded on three sides. Like the enemy on the south bank, the river was an insurmountable or difficult to defeat opponent, firmly "defending" one side. However, 300 to 50,000 and there was no preset position, so the number ratio and strength ratio can only be described as a huge difference.

A red signal flare flew up in the air, and our army on the south bank of the river launched a general attack. The artillery fire was fierce, bombarding the enemy who was gathering, and rippling waves of soil and gravel.

The sound of hooves as dense as raindrops was like drums. A regiment of cavalry rushed out from behind Xiaomazhuang. Countless wielding sabers flashed with cold light and swept towards the remaining enemies.

…………………

The absolute advantage of troops is far beyond the Japanese artillery fire, sufficient ammunition, strong fighting spirit, and careful investigation and deployment... the comprehensive strength completely overwhelmed the Japanese.

After Liu Chen and Ma Biao received the news that the victory had been decided, although it was not unexpected, they still breathed a sigh of relief. They had a higher understanding of the strength and playing style of Yang Tianfeng and the third column.

What they didn't know was that Yang Tianfeng had been preparing for nearly two months, and the stockpiled ammunition and medicines made him have strong confidence in winning. Not to mention that over the past few days, 80% of the weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal were transported to the western front, with several large trucks every day without interruption.

Therefore, to outsiders, the Third Column is brave and good at fighting. Yang Tianfeng is well-planned, but the deeper reason is attributed to the production and manufacturing capabilities of the arsenal. It is precisely with this material support that nearly 3,000 Japanese devils can be wiped out separately in such a short time.

Of course, the Japanese's stubbornness in executing orders and their blind confidence in heavy artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, aircraft, and soldiers' combat power are also one of the important reasons for their failure.

It was already dawn, the battle in the north was coming to an end, and the blasting of the tunnels under Huaiyang City was also completed. But Yang Tianfeng was not in a hurry to attack the city and continued to prepare.

Advance east and west, and feint attacking south is the established siege strategy. Although it is possible to start siege now, the troops under the city are not too relieved. They are certain to win with their military strength advantages, but the major casualties are not what Yang Tianfeng is willing to see.

What's more, most of the heavy firepower is transferred to the north, and it takes time to transport it back. The troops that fight continuously also need to rest and the Japanese planes will cause a lot of trouble during the day.
