After hanging up the phone, Nishino Daizuo, who was still looking determined to die, immediately changed to a shrewd look. His eyes were rolling. After thinking for a while, he immediately picked up the phone and contacted the police stationed in Baode. County Wing Headquarters.
"Withdraw? Dazuo, do you mean to withdraw from Baode County immediately?"
The Japanese chief of staff who answered the phone was shocked. He did not expect that his commander, the captain, would take his escape so naturally.
Nishino said: "Idiot, if you don't retreat now, are you going to wait until the entire army is annihilated?
The Eighth Route Army that besieged the Suzuki Regiment this time was definitely not an ordinary Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, with Suzuki's character, how could he take the initiative to show weakness or even ask us for help?
Right now, the Eighth Route Army has taken the opportunity to launch an attack on us. The Eighth Route Army in the direction of Yan'an may also attack our army from another direction at any time.
In addition, the mixed mechanical brigade is also being pursued by the Eighth Route Army at this moment, and it is impossible to return to Baode smoothly.
At this moment in Baode County, our army is already empty of troops. After the Eighth Route Army has dealt with the Suzuki Regiment, all its troops can be used to attack our army. "
Nishino sighed as if he was very unwilling:
"Do you think that in this case, we can defend Baode with just our remaining troops? In the end, we just lost Baode County and were destroyed along with our regiment."
He then started to shift the blame, very naturally:
"It all comes down to this idiot Suzuki. If this fool hadn't been arrogant and could not bear the provocation of the Eighth Route Army and left the county rashly, he would not only have fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, but even our army would have been implicated?
This hopeless man was responsible for all the losses in Baode County! "
The Japs chief of staff remained silent. From this perspective, there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
"Okay, before all the forces of the Eighth Route Army are gathered here, immediately move in from the west gate of Baode County, where the Eighth Route Army's forces are weak!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese chief of staff agreed. He didn't want to die foolishly.
Your Excellency, the captain of the regiment, had the foresight to hide outside Baode County in advance. He was currently in Baode County, and once the city was broken, it would be the end.
Then, the two discussed some things on the phone.
What does it add up to?
How to arrange the evacuation.
Soon the dramatic side emerged.
Captains Liu and Zhang were leading their troops to attack the main city gate of Baode County, but then they gradually discovered that the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops who counterattacked seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
After Captain Liu observed carefully through the telescope, he was even more shocked to find that the Japanese troops originally guarding the top of the city gate were rapidly decreasing.
what's going on?
Not only that, but a moment later, the city gate was opened with a creaking sound.
Just looking in, there are basically no figures of a few little devils inside.
"What do you mean, empty city strategy?"
Don't tell me, the little devil's move really frightened Captain Liu and Captain Zhang.
The Japs were still well guarded at first, but suddenly opened the city gate and even the troops withdrew from the top of the city.
What do they want to do?
Considering that the little Japanese's move was very unusual, Captains Liu and Zhang could not make up their minds for a moment. They were also worried that the Japanese had set up a trap in the county town, so they did not immediately order to break into the city gate.
But in fact, this was an injustice to Nishino Daizuo.
According to Nishino Daizuo's idea, he directly opened the city gate and attracted the main force of the Eighth Route Army attacking the city from the front.
The Eighth Route Army deployed on the flank is also likely to take the opportunity to move over and invade Baode County.
The entire Xiye Regiment's little devils had only one purpose at this time, which was to smoothly and promptly move in from the empty area of the Eighth Route Army on the flanks, and break out all the main forces. That was all.
The city gate opened inexplicably.
Captain Zhang and the tour leader were still hesitating, but it seemed that it would be okay not to seize such a good opportunity.
After thinking about it, the two sent a scout team to tentatively enter the city to explore the situation first.
Ten minutes later, the reconnaissance platoon leader returned with a confused look on his face and reported to Commander Liu: "Captain, this is really weird, the city gate was opened directly.
We didn't see any Japs after we entered. All the Japs seemed to have withdrawn, and there were no traps set by the Japs.
We searched the surrounding area carefully several times and found no problems. "
Captain Liu was a little dumbfounded: "What on earth is this little devil playing?"
Just when everyone was confused, news suddenly came from the Second Battalion stationed at Baode's West Gate, also known as the Piancheng Gate, that the Japanese had suddenly evacuated from the West Gate in large numbers and seemed to be fleeing Baode County.
"???"
Captain Liu and Captain Zhang looked at each other dumbfounded.
This battle was really inexplicable. Baode County was originally well defended by the Nishino Alliance. Nishino, an old devil, was like a shrunken turtle, hiding in a hard turtle shell. Even the Eighth Route Army could not do anything about it.
Now it's finally time to crack open the turtle shell, but the tortoise inside actually escaped from its shell!
!
Moreover, news came from the Second Battalion that the Japs were bent on evacuating and would not engage in battle with them at all. They ran as fast as they could.
In the end, Captain Zhang and Captain Liu were stunned and had to accept the result that made them laugh or cry.
The two of them successfully captured Baode County.
It’s so effortless!
When the news reached Li Yunlong, he heard that the Xiye United Forces stationed in Baode County immediately gave up their defense of Baode County and fled in advance.
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then yelled: "I hate you the most!"
The little Japs of the Nishino Regiment in Baode County didn't care whether Li Yunlong hated him or not. Following Nishino Daizuo's orders, the Japs Chief of Staff led the team in a hurry towards the stronghold where Nishino Daizuo was hiding.
Not only that, according to Nishino Ozuo's explanation, during the escape process, the Nishino Regiment Communications Department continued to send telegrams asking for help.
They continuously reported the numbers of the Eighth Route Army that appeared on the battlefield.
One battalion reported to one regiment.
One regiment reported to one brigade, and the tone was much more tense and dangerous than that of the Suzuki Regiment.
When they rushed out of the Xicheng Gate of Baode County, only a battalion of the Eighth Route Army was stationed at the Xicheng Gate. After a moment of confrontation between the two sides as vanguard troops, the Japanese chief of staff directly ordered to ask for help from his superiors.
And stated in the telegram:
“Our imperial warriors fought desperately to defend Baode County, but the Eighth Route Army’s offensive force was too large, with the main force of more than a dozen regiments fully pressing the city.
Our army fought endlessly, and in the end there was less than one brigade of troops left, so we had no choice but to move in from the west city. As a result, we were besieged by three regiments from the Eighth Route Army just after we broke out of the city gate.
After fighting bloody battles all the way, they finally broke out of the siege. "
The telegram said that it had noses and eyes, and even reported the numbers of the Eighth Route Army regiments encountered.
This wave of God's operation came down.
If the commanders of the Eighth Route Army found out, they would all be dumbfounded.
Well, according to the numbers revealed by this little devil, except for the two regiments led by Captain Zhang and Captain Liu, they are indeed outside Baode County.
Some of the other regiments are currently fighting in Xiaonanzhuang, and some are not even in the base area at all. As a result, they have all been arranged by the little devils to be near Baode County.
But talking about Xiaonanzhuang at this time.
The remaining imperial troops led by Suzuki Dazuo are still struggling to support themselves. He knows that he is trapped in a tight siege at this moment. With his own strength, it may be difficult for him to break through the siege, and he may even end up with the entire army destroyed.
He pinned his final hopes on reinforcements.
According to the information given by the Nishino Alliance, Nishino Dazuo, who received the request for help, has dispatched a mechanized brigade, plus a main force brigade, and is rapidly advancing in the direction of Xiaonanzhuang.
This put some color on the face of the ashen-faced Suzuki Ozuo.
The contempt in my heart for the weakling Nishino has somewhat subdued, this time I have to rely on others to survive!
But his full expectations did not last long, and the communications soldier came in a hurry to report:
"Reporting to the commander, the reinforcements were ambushed by the Eighth Route Army troops along the way. They were completely defeated and had no choice but to turn in.
In addition, not long ago, the Nishino Alliance sent out an emergency request for help! "
"Nani?"
Suzuki Dazuo was completely confused. Wasn't he asking for help right now?
Why did the Nishino Alliance, which was originally coming to reinforce him, start asking for help?
The communications soldier replied: "According to the news from the West Field Regiment, just half an hour ago, the main force of the Eighth Route Army captured Baode County in one fell swoop. They suffered extremely heavy losses. The remaining troops were forced to move in, and were attacked by the Eighth Route Army along the way. We pursued him and then asked for help from all directions.”
"Asshole, this is impossible, how is this possible?"
Suzuki Dazuo roared angrily.
"That bastard Nishino, he has so many troops and a city wall that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could he be able to breach the city gate in such a short period of time and be forced to move in?"
"Sir, the Nishino Regiment stated in the telegram that they originally defended Baode without any flaws, but in accordance with the orders from their superiors, they had to send troops to reinforce our unit. As a result, the two brigades sent were met with the Eighth Route Army's cunning plan to encircle the point for reinforcements, resulting in two The main force was severely damaged, leaving Baode County empty of troops, which ultimately led to the city gate being breached..."
"Why, how could this happen?"
After hearing this, Suzuki finally panicked and staggered back a few steps, although he felt that there was something fishy about the telegram from the Nishino Alliance.
But if you think about it carefully, if you hadn't attacked rashly this time, left Guzhen, and fallen into the trap of the Eighth Route Army, the current situation would not have been caused.
All the arrogance and pride have long been shattered.
But out of his unfounded self-esteem, how could Suzuki Daizuo watch Nishino pouring dirty water on himself?
He angrily retorted: "This is absolutely impossible. The Eighth Route Army currently fighting a decisive battle with our army is at least twice as powerful as our army.
Basically the main force of the entire Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi gathered here to fight fiercely with our army.
Where else would the Eighth Route Army take the opportunity to attack Baode?
Nishino, this bastard, is clearly lying about the military situation, deliberately alarming and exaggerating. "
He finally let out a filial roar: "The brave rat is harming me!"
Just like that, the two brothers were blaming each other. In the telegrams they sent later, they racked their brains to defend themselves and then accuse each other.
One said that a brave rat would harm me.
Another said that a man without a plan can harm others.
Such a funny scene is probably rare on the entire Sino-Japanese battlefield.
At this time, the Suzuki Regiment, which was still in a tough fight, saw that the Nishino Regiment had no hope, so it could only place its last hope on the air fire reinforcements that were about to arrive.
Yes, their hopes are coming soon.
It was a flying unit coming from the Wuchagou Airport of the Japanese and puppet troops in Inner Mongolia.
More than a dozen aircraft, including some fighters and bombers, pierced the sky amidst the roar of their engines and approached the battlefield where the two sides were fighting.
"Hold on, warriors of our empire, our aerial firepower reinforcements have arrived!"
Listening to the pleasant sound coming from above, the old devil Suzuki finally showed some joy.
The advantage of air firepower is the most sharp and powerful weapon against the Chinese army.
How could these Eighth Route Army troops, which basically had no air power at all, be a match for the empire's flying troops?
Unilateral bombing.
This is the power of air superiority.
Of course, old Japanese Suzuki was not completely carried away by the incoming aerial firepower reinforcements.
He knew very well that even with aerial firepower reinforcements, the current situation was overwhelming. If he could break out with the main force and make a transition, it would be the best result.
It is simply wishful thinking to rely on these dozen aircraft to turn the tide of the war, or even defeat the main force of the Eighth Route Army in front of them.
The confrontation between the two sides soon reached the most intense and exciting moment.
The original battle between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Suzuki Regiment, a battle between infantry and infantry, soon evolved into a battle between partial Eighth Route Army infantry and the Japanese flying troops.
This was a shocking and inexplicable battle between the land forces of the Eighth Route Army and the flying forces of the Japanese army that appeared in the field of vision of both sides.
"Fight, take down these bastards!"
Li Yunlong, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, held the walkie-talkie in his hand and roared angrily.
The soldiers were already prepared for the reinforcements from the Japanese flying troops.
Once the confrontation between the two sides continues, the Japanese planes will come for reinforcements, which is almost certain.
The mechanized combat troops led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie this time traveled long distances from the Taihang area, including a large number of combat vehicles, armored vehicles, tanks, etc. Such troops are most vulnerable to fatal attacks by the Japanese flying troops.
If there is no certain air defense force and air defense preparations.
That's purely a food delivery.
How could Kong Jie and Li Yunlong make such mistakes?
Moreover, with the current level of military industry development in the Iron Triangle, there is no shortage of air defense equipment and weapons.
Land air defense weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons are naturally indispensable.
Seeing the dozens of Japanese planes in mid-air gradually lowering their altitude, there were even two bold bombers who dared to dive and attack.
The soldiers driving anti-aircraft anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns looked excited but also had contempt on their lips.
Do these bastards really think that just a few years ago, these dozen shabby old machines could bully us at will?
