"What's going on? What the hell is going on? The South Gate is lost? Enemy forces are coming? ”

I couldn't believe that the sound of gunfire came from the south gate, and I was still confused, Baochang is located on the road of the Zhangbei railway line, and it is an important transportation hub.

The vicinity of Baochang is under the control of the Japanese army, so logically speaking, how can a large number of enemy troops attack?

Jiro took the phone and said urgently: "Your Excellency, the defenders of the south gate report that there is an unknown enemy army disguised as a caravan, and after approaching the city gate, while the imperial soldiers guarding the city gate are not paying attention, they suddenly took out a submachine gun and shot at the imperial soldiers guarding the city gate at close range. The soldiers guarding the gate suffered heavy casualties and had to be routed by enemy fire at close range! Right now, a fierce battle has begun at the head of the South Gate, and at least one regiment of enemy troops outside the city is launching a fierce attack on the South City! The South Gate was lost, and the squadron leader of the South Gate defenders reported that they had been forced to retreat into the city! Request support! ”。

"Baga Ya Road! How could there be so many enemy troops besieging the city near Baochang? ”

Shojiro Yamazuki still couldn't believe it and roared angrily!

And this is, to the west, north and east of Baochang, there are guns and cannons.

There was silence for a while, and the Baochang Brigade Headquarters, a devil who had no combat atmosphere, kept ringing for a while.

"Report to the captain, Ximen is in an emergency, there are enemy troops attacking Ximen!"

"Report to the captain, the north gate is in an emergency, there is at least one regiment of Chinese troops storming the north gate, and the defenders of the north gate are asking for rapid reinforcements!"

"Report to the captain, the defenders of the east gate report that more than 2,000 Chinese troops are storming the east gate, and the city gate is being bombarded by enemy artillery, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand it!"

......

The staff officers of the devil brigade headquarters continued to report to Yamazumi Shojiro one by one, the telephone rang continuously, and the sound of guns came everywhere.

Shojiro Yamazumi and Shojiro Kakuda looked at each other, and then both realized that Hosho was besieged by enemy forces!!

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the situation is not secondary. The besieging of Baochang must not be the small group of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the mountains near Baochang, it must be the regular army of the Chinese army, and the guns and artillery are all set, and the firepower is very fierce! ”

Jiro came back to his senses and said hurriedly!

Masaro Yamazumi immediately walked to the side of the map placed by the brigade headquarters, and moved his finger to the map of the city of Hochang.

"The South Gate is lost, no matter which force is suddenly besieging Baochang, but Baochang must be defended first! Order all troops, return fire fiercely, and give me to withstand the enemy's attack! Order a reserve battalion of the Imperial Allied Army and a squadron reserve of the brigade to give me all the reinforcements to the south city, cooperate with the defenders of the south gate who retreat to the city, and give me here on the main street, block the enemy troops who enter the city from the south gate, and drive them out, quickly! ”

Masaro Yamazumi kept gurgling words and gave the order to fight back.

All of a sudden, the Devil Staff Officer and the Chief of Staff of the Brigade, Shojiro Tsukata, both paused in response, and then hurriedly ordered all units to counterattack.

At this time, Duan Peng, who had entered the southern city from the southern city gate, had already led the assault team to defeat the Japanese army guarding the southern city gate and the city head.

Since the more than 150 commando soldiers commanded by Duan Peng were all Jin-made submachine guns in their hands, the assault fire at close range was very fierce.

On the one hand, the devils defending the city checked at the city gate, their vigilance was not high, and they encountered assault fire from submachine guns and were beaten with heavy casualties. On the other hand, most of the soldiers defending the city are armed with 38-style rifles, and when they shoot and pull the bolt, the fire output is not the opponent of submachine guns at all, let alone close combat!

Therefore, the devil squadron guarded by the south gate also had a small team of troops, with a total count of more than 320 people, and they were beaten by the commando team led by Duan Peng, and had to lead the remnants of the devils to retreat to the city.

There were more than 500 Imperial Cooperative troops who assisted the Japanese army in guarding the south gate, and they were chased and beaten by less than 20 commando soldiers, and retreated to the city with the devil's rout.

On the way to retreat, there were also some veterans of the Imperial Cooperative Army, Youzi, realized from the firepower of the Duan Peng commando team who raided the southern city gate that the new firepower of the raid on Baochang was very powerful, and I am afraid that the Taijun of Baochang may not be able to withstand it.

What's more, most of the Imperial Association Army is passable, and they have no will to fight to the death for the little devils.

Therefore, immediately after, more than 2,000 soldiers under the third battalion of Ma Wenhai shouted the slogan of rushing and killing, and under the command of Ma Wenhai, they followed Duan Peng's commando team into the city.

"Boom, boom!"

A violent explosion exploded violently on the main street of Baochang Nancheng, and there were less than 50 people left in the remnants of the defenders of the south gate of the devil who retreated to the city, although they were reinforced by the Japanese army of a squadron sent by Yamazumi Shojiro to reinforce the southern city and a reserve battalion of the Imperial Association Army, a total of more than 700 people, were blown up by the artillery behind Wang Chengzhu's commando.

The chief of staff of the devil brigade, who was personally responsible for leading this devil and the imperial alliance army to jointly reinforce Nancheng, Jiro Tsukashita, hid on the roof on the side of the street, condescendingly observed the battle situation with a telescope, and his eyes immediately became solemn.

"Baga Ya Road, this is the troops of the Eighth Route Army! Not the regular army of the National Army! No wonder! There are so many people! ”

Tsukada Shojiro has already synthesized the urgent reports of the defenders of various gates, and counted all kinds of them, and the Chinese army that suddenly besieged Baochang actually had at least more than 6,000 people.

Moreover, the firepower was fierce, and there were cavalry units circling the city outside the city, as if to encircle and intercept the Japanese soldiers who could escape.

"Chief of Staff, emergency! The west gate is lost, and the north gate can't stand it! The enemy artillery fire was fierce, especially at the north gate, which was hastily attacked, and like the defenders of the south gate, the city gate was captured by a surprise attack. Now, as long as the east gate is still guarded! But the defenders of the east gate urgently reported for reinforcements, otherwise they would definitely be out of danger within ten minutes!"

At this time, a ghost soldier hurriedly arrived and reported to Shojiro Yukuda!

General Jiro secretly cursed, and then ordered: "Steady, calm, order the rest of the defenders of the north gate and the west gate to move closer to the headquarters of the brigade in the city!" The third squadron, let me block the enemy troops coming in from the south gate here, and I will go back to the brigade headquarters to discuss the next counterattack deployment with the captain! ”。

"Hello, Chief of Staff!" The leader of the 2nd Squadron of the Baochang Japanese Brigade, who was responsible for reinforcing Nancheng, paused his head.

And Shojiro Yuda rushed back to the team headquarters urgently, and found Massajiro Yamazumi, who was frowning and looking at the map, "Your Excellency Shaosa, the situation is not second. The attack is the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army, and I am afraid it is Li Yunlong's department that has entered Chahar! According to the reports of the defenders of each gate, the strength of the enemy troops who raided and besieged Baochang was at least between 6,000 and 8,000 men. This is consistent with the above's estimation of the strength of Li Yunlong's command post to enter Chahar, only Li Yunlong only has so many troops near Baochang, and the national army does not have so many troops near Baochang! ”

"What do you mean?" Shojiro Yamazumi frowned and said!

Shojiro Yuda said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the combat effectiveness of our brigade cannot withstand the onslaught of Li Yunlong's elite troops. The battle has only been less than ten minutes now, and three gates have already been lost, and all the troops have suffered heavy casualties, so reinforcements must be requested! ”。

"Immediately send a telegram to Duolun and ask for reinforcements for my department!"

The closest to Baochang is Duolun in the north, where an infantry brigade of devils is stationed, and it will rush south to reinforce Baochang, and it will arrive within half an hour.
