Major General Kawasaki was not a fool, and a possibility suddenly occurred to his mind: "The Eighth Route Army that came from the east of the city has surrounded the west of the city?"
"Ha Yi..." Cun Shangzhong Zuo replied bravely.
"The Eighth Route Army in the east of the city is divided into three groups. One main battalion will attack the blocking force we sent out frontally under the cover of mortars and thunder cannons, and the other two battalions will be responsible for outflanking them."
"All the streets and alleys leading to the outside world in the west of the city are blocked by them."
"The Eighth Route Army attacking the south and north of the city broke through the city defenses at the same time and entered the city."
"In order to prevent the troops from being chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army, and the retreat turning into a major rout, the two city defense troops had to retreat while fighting, and part of their troops were sent to the rear."
"In the end, less than a thousand troops successfully reached the west of the city, but they were blocked by the Eighth Route Army in the east of the city and could not join us." Major General Kawasaki was angered again. He showed a hateful expression on the spot and cursed: "Eighth Route Army GeYa Road…”
"The rifles they are equipped with are not fire sticks."
"If you can't get there, won't you attack by force?"
"Two battalions of the Eighth Route Army may sound like a lot, but the total number of streets and alleys they have to defend exceeds fifteen."
"Once the limited troops are dispersed, it would be good to have a main platoon in each place."
"The reinforcements were blocked halfway by a platoon of the Eighth Route Army and were unable to advance or retreat. This is simply a joke. The Imperial Army of Japan has lost all their face." The brigade commander said these things, the one on the left in the center It was clear, but it was too late.
Facing Major General Kawasaki's angry gaze, he explained: "General, calm down..."
"At the beginning, the reinforcements really wanted the Eighth Route Army to block the troops and enter the west of the city."
"But the Eighth Route Army south of the city and north of the city responded too quickly."
"As soon as the reinforcements launched their attack, they appeared behind the reinforcements and cooperated with the blocking troops to attack our reinforcements from the front and back."
"In order to preserve their strength and reduce losses, they had to give up the attack, seize the yard closest to them, and wait for reinforcements."
"Now they are surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army. They have no time to take care of themselves and have no strength to continue to reinforce the west of the city." Major General Kawasaki was about to continue cursing when a violent explosion suddenly sounded at the entrance of the headquarters.
Fires shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and hot air surged in from the door, almost overturning him. A guard rushed in in a panic.
The military uniform on his body was blackened by gunpowder smoke, torn and torn, and his arms were still bleeding. He reported with a painful look on his face: "Commander of the brigade."
"The Eighth Route Army is coming soon. You must move immediately and leave here."
"Transfer..." Major General Kawasaki immediately flashed a mocking smile on his face.
"The east part of the city is lost, the south and north of the city are also lost, and now the west part of the city is also captured by the Eighth Route Army. Where else can we move."
"Give me the order."
"Everyone in the headquarters is issued with weapons and is preparing for a decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army." Cun Shangzhongzuo immediately stopped Major General Kawasaki who was about to draw his sword and reminded him anxiously: "General, think twice."
"Where there is life, there is hope……"
"There are fighting everywhere in Baoding now. If you gather a reinforced team to cover your breakout, you will definitely be able to break out of Baoding." Major General Kawasaki shook his head in pain.
"The troops are gone, what's the use of me going out."
"So many troops in the Baoding garrison were defeated by me. Even if I am lucky enough to escape from Baoding, what awaits me is a military court."
"It's better to stay here and live and die with Baoding City and be a true warrior."
"Don't mention this matter again."
"Immediately distribute weapons to everyone and prepare to fight to the death."
"The radio operator immediately sent a telegram to the front army headquarters. He humbly failed to live up to the high expectations of the Commander and failed to defend Baoding. Please Commander, please wipe out the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong, recapture Baoding, and avenge us."
"Blow up the radio station immediately after sending the telegram, faster."
"The Eighth Route Army will not leave us much time to prepare."
"Boom, boom, boom..." In less than two minutes, the temporary headquarters selected by Kawasaki himself turned into a sea of flames in the explosion... Huang Yu was introducing the latest battle situation in the city to Kong Jie at the former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong.
Halfway through, a new battle report was suddenly sent in by the correspondent. Huang Yu glanced at it and smiled: "Captain, Commander Li has good news."
"They successfully captured the Baoding garrison headquarters."
"The old Japs in Kawasaki were blown up by them with artillery shells. They also sent the corpses of thirteen young Japs above the left to the headquarters, almost killing the Japanese headquarters." Kong Jie then laughed: "Old Li's fishing net Caught a lot of big fish..."
"Before the war, he told me that he would capture the Kawasaki headquarters and win the first victory in the siege. I didn't expect that he would actually do it."
"How are the other units going?"
"Our mission is to completely annihilate the Baoding garrison."
"You can't take Baoding City just by destroying one headquarters." Huang Yu replied with a smile: "The progress is good..."
"The Duer Regiment successfully captured the west of the city..."
"Shunping garrison and Wangdu garrison successfully captured the south and north of the city. They divided and surrounded the remaining more than 800 Japanese and puppet troops in dozens of yards. We are seizing the time to clear them. The battle will be over in one hour at most."
"The special operations team and the three guard companies successfully completed the insertion mission."
"Except for the arsenal in the west of the city that was bombed before, they captured all three remaining arsenals in Baoding."
"The Mancheng Garrison reported that no main force of the Japanese and puppet troops was found on the Peiping defense line, only some guard posts and scouts, allowing us to attack Baoding with confidence."
"It's great..." Kong Jie punched the ammunition box in excitement and said with a smile on his face.
"This battle was fought so hard."
"Such a big city of Baoding was captured by us in less than two hours. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it until I died."
"Let the Duyi Regiment and the Duer Regiment immediately take over the city's arsenals, material warehouses, and important military facilities to prevent Japanese and puppet agents and remnant forces from causing sabotage."
"The garrison will continue to clear out the remaining enemies in the city and completely capture Baoding."
"The baggage troops and logistics troops of each regiment will immediately enter the city to collect transportation tools. We must dare to clear Baoding City and return to the base before the Japanese reinforcements arrive." Huang Yu interjected while recording: "I will add one more."
"Each regiment will immediately count the battle losses."
"Draw down the troops that can still fight together to prepare for emergencies."
"We also need to replace all the weapons and ammunition lost by each regiment, the sooner the better."
"I have a vague feeling that the battle in Baoding will not end just because we win Baoding." Kong Jie, no matter how stupid he was, could hear the meaning in Huang Yu's words and immediately asked: "You want to call for reinforcements..."
"We have basically wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding inside the city. They have no opponents if they want to fight."
"You prepare the troops for continuous operations. Except for the reinforcements brought in by Neji Okamura from the three northeastern provinces, I can't think of any other opponent."
