"General..." Before Major General Fujita could answer, a report sounded at the door of the war room.
"Urgent transmission from the front line..." Major General Kawasaki immediately introduced to Fujita: "This is my communications staff..."
"Come in..." The communications staff officer ran in panting heavily, without saying a word, and directly handed the telegram in his hand to Major General Kawasaki.
"The Eighth Route Army's attack speed is too fast, and the reinforcements cannot withdraw..." Major General Kawasaki's face darkened after reading the telegram, and he said solemnly.
Major General Fujita's face became increasingly serious, and he snatched the telegram from Kawasaki's hand. After reading it, he fell down on his chair and murmured to himself.
"It's over..."
"Everything is over..."
"Kawazaki-kun, from now on, you will temporarily act as the commander of the Baoding garrison."
"I will personally apologize to the Commander..." After saying that, he walked out of the war room. His whole person became particularly decadent, like a little old man who was about to die, without any energy.
Major General Kawasaki was not polite. He walked to his place before Major General Fujita walked out of the war room: "Everyone..."
"The reinforcements were attacked and almost the entire army was destroyed..."
"We all have a responsibility."
"The top priority now is to reduce losses, find ways to turn defeat into victory, eliminate the railway guerrillas and the main force of the Eighth Route Army operating in the Tangzhuang area, and make meritorious deeds."
"I order...the communications department to immediately contact all strongholds and outposts along the railway to strengthen alert."
"Abandon the outposts that are under-strength immediately, and concentrate our forces to defend the gun towers along the railway. If we persist until daylight, we will win."
"Send a telegram to the scouts on the front lines.
"Immediately contact the reinforcements still fighting there, break out immediately, withdraw from the battle at the minimum cost, and withdraw to Baoding."
"The Baoding garrison has all entered combat status. The Kwantung Army, the third brigade of the mixed brigade, the tank brigade, and the cavalry unit are immediately ready to attack."
"After dawn, under the cover of aircraft and armored trains, we will reinforce the battlefield and destroy the Eighth Route Army that has not yet withdrawn."
"The reinforcements of the two brigades cannot die in vain."
"The bombing of military trains and railways cannot be in vain."
"The Eighth Route Army must pay its due price in battle."......
"happy……"
"The battle tonight was so exciting..."
"I haven't been so happy for a long time..." Li Yunlong's excited shouts reached Kong Jie's ears before he entered and captured the enemy's headquarters.
"You did give me a good beating, but it hurt me terribly..." Kong Jie cursed angrily.
"As we said before the war, one battalion is responsible for one squadron."
"Your kid was eating from the pot, looking at what was in his hand, and ate up four Japanese infantry squadrons in one go, causing the First Battalion of the Duer Regiment to rush to the battlefield empty-handed, without benefiting from anything."
"Every complaint from the battalion commander has been brought to me."
"I don't even know how to give him an explanation." Li Yunlong said with an indifferent expression: "What's there to explain to him?"
"I killed one squadron before attacking the next squadron. Who asked him to run so fast?"
"We were fighting a chaotic battle. Who knows if anyone was watching those little devils."
"If they sneak out from under my nose, it will be a big loss."
"Besides, the little devils are rushing right in front of me. It's impossible not to fight them."
"Tell your first battalion commander."
"If you want to complain, blame him for running too slowly..."
"As long as he runs a little faster on the battlefield, I won't have a chance to kill two infantry squadrons in a row."
"I don't have the ability, but I still want to file a complaint. I'm going against the grain." Seeing that Li Yunlong was going too far, and that he was justifying what was originally unreasonable, Kong Jie decisively interrupted.
"enough……"
"You're a good boy, you're cheap and good at everything else."
"I won't argue with you this time."
"There is a way to fight in a chaotic war. If the little devil rushes in front of you, there is really no reason not to fight."
"Next time we do joint operations, you guys, please don't do this kind of thing again." Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Don't worry..."
"I, Li Yunlong, will strictly implement the battle plan and never make any more mistakes." Kong Jie curled his lips and did not answer. He knew this old comrade too well.
It's harder for him to fight according to the rules and not violate discipline than it is for the sun to rise in the west. Huang Yu interrupted at the right time: "Captain, Commander Li..."
"No matter what, we won this battle..."
"The two infantry brigades sent by Baoding were completely destroyed."
"More than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops stationed at the Tangzhuang stronghold were also targeted by us."
"The special forces team slowed down in advance, the military column did not hit the roadblock, and all the supplies and ammunition on the vehicle were seized by us."
"The soldiers of the three regiments are all rushing to transport the loot. The food alone contains more than 100,000 kilograms, as well as a large number of weapons, ammunition and uniforms."
"The garrison in Baoding dropped sharply from more than 10,000 people to more than 7,000 people."
"Excluding the puppet troops, there are at most four thousand real Japs."
"If we can kill two thousand more people, Baoding will become easily accessible." Li Yunlong immediately shouted: "We must capture Baoding City."
"The last time we entered the north of Baoding City, we seized hundreds of thousands of ocean wealth without taking down the arsenal."
"If we take down the whole of Baoding, we will definitely make a fortune."
"The Japanese army is transporting weapons, ammunition and various supplies to Wang Nan."
"A lot of supplies are stored in Baoding City."
"By taking down Baoding and seizing those weapons and ammunition, we will have the capital to raid Tianjin."
"Xiao Huang, you organized this battle."
"Although Lao Kong and I are regimental commanders and you are just the deputy chief of staff, we obey you when it comes to fighting."
"If there is a way to capture Baoding City, just tell us and we will help you advise."
"If the plan works, at worst I will let you be the commander, and Lao Kong and I will be your deputies." Kong Jie also wanted to win Baoding.
Although a lot of weapons and ammunition were seized in tonight's melee, the Japanese eliminated were all field troops. Apart from carrying its own ammunition, it has almost no reserves.
After deducting the ammunition used by the little Japanese himself, the ammunition that finally fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army only just replenished the battle losses.
The previous counter-sweep operation had consumed almost 80% of the ammunition inventory in the base area. Only by conquering a major military town like Baoding can it be possible to make up for the loss of ammunition in the base area through seizures.
Otherwise, even if the Tianjin dock is empty of troops and the main Japanese troops stationed in Peiping have been transferred away, the Eighth Route Army in the Wings will not have the strength to move hundreds of kilometers to raid Tianjin.
This is also a very important reason why he supports the troops to attack Baoding first. Huang Yu looked at him very seriously and said, "Xiao Huang..."
"Old Li is right..."
"The opportunity is right in front of us. If we can really take the opportunity to win Baoding, we must seize it."
"The ammunition in the city is too important. If you can seize it, you must seize it. If you have any ideas, just say it. Don't worry."
