At this time, the whole city of Gaoyang City was under martial law, and on the head of this historic city, torches moved back and forth. At the head of the city, the Japanese army and puppet soldiers were tightly defended to prevent the new regiment attacking Baoding from suddenly attacking Gaoyang City.

In the city, the cold wind is howling, the market is under martial law, and the whole city is silent. In the dark city, there are occasional Japanese three-wheeled motorcycles and winds speeding by, patrolling all parts of the city.

In the city of Goyang, the headquarters of the Japanese army defending the city was set up in the county yali that has been handed down from ancient times in the city.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, all the soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army and the First Squadron and the Second Squadron have been dispatched. Guard the whole city, the head of the city has been deployed heavy guards, especially the west city and the north and south of the city, light and heavy machine gun fire has been deployed in place, as long as there is an enemy attack, it is bound to encounter the fire of our city defenders, please rest assured! In the city headquarters, Takayuki Aono, the chief of staff of Yuki Miyashita, the captain of the third-line Japanese garrison, walked in front of Yuki Miyashita under the light of the chandelier on the roof of the dark headquarters, and paused heavily.

Miyashita Yuki was the captain of the Japanese garrison promoted by the reserves, but at this time, the old devil only had two squadrons of Japanese troops in his hands, and a puppet army of 700 people, a total of more than 1,100 troops stationed in Gaoyang City, responsible for cooperating with An Xin, Renqiu and other surrounding Japanese garrisons close to Baiyangdian cities to clear the guerrilla forces of the Baiyangdian Eighth Route Army.

Therefore, the Japanese garrison of the Japanese army mastered by Yuki Miyashita is still a bit of combat effectiveness. It's just that in the face of Li Yunlong's department, who suddenly besieged Baoding City at this time, the old ghost womb Yuji learned of the battle situation, and immediately ordered Gaoyang City to enter the whole city under martial law and prepare for battle without waiting for the order of Beiping.

Hearing this, Yuki Miyashita nodded and said to Chief of Staff Takayuki Aono: "Yo Xi, hard work Aono-kun!" ”。

It's just that as the chief of staff of Yuki Miyashita, Takayuki Aono wondered: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, according to the distance we are from Baoding, why didn't Beiping mobilize us to go west to reinforce the imperial army in Baoding?" ”。

"If we advance westward for reinforcements, Gaoyang City will inevitably be attacked by the armed forces behind enemy lines in Baiyangdian. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army left behind in the city, do you think you can beat the armed forces behind the enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army hidden in Baiyangdian? Yuki Miyashita waved his hand, a little helpless.

Another reason why Yuki Miyashita is reluctant to say is that the Japanese soldiers under his control are basically composed of wandering samurai, reserve recruits and some soldiers with weak combat effectiveness. Although this unit had been running in for a while, the two squadrons marched west to reinforce Baoding, and on the way they were bound to encounter an attack by the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army dispatched near Baiyangdian in the dark. Judging from the strength of the troops mastered, the strength of night battles is not strong.

Once there are heavy casualties, it can only be more than worth the loss. What's more, Yuki Miyashita, who has been stationed in Gaoyang City for many years, does not want to send reinforcements to Baoding City. What's more, Tada Jun didn't have an order, and Yuki Miyashita was happy to pretend not to know. But pretend not to know, but Gaoyang City still needs to be on guard, who knows if Li Yunlong's troops, who are unfavorable to attack Baoding, will lead the army eastward and come to him under Gaoyang City?

It's just that the chief of staff, Takayuki Aono, said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, it shouldn't be so easy for Li Yunlong's troops to capture Baoding at this time. What's more, there are more than 3,000 troops in the city, which is enough to hold on to Baoding City, wait for the north and south of the railway line to be Dingxing, and the reinforcements from Wangdu and other places rush to Baoding, and the inside and outside should be combined to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army under the personal command of Li Yunlong. And we, the whole city is under martial law, are we a little too nervous? ”。

"Qingye-kun, you should be clear about Li Yunlong's command ability. Nankou, Juyongguan and other places were taken by him with his army at night, indicating that this person should not be underestimated. What's more, the four princes and royal highnesses who were killed one after another were all killed by Li Yunlong with his new group. If you underestimate this person, you will suffer a big loss. And Baoding City may not be able to hold it at this time. As for why, my gut tells me so! Order all the Imperial Allied Army and Imperial Army soldiers to strengthen martial law. Once someone approaches the city and attacks without authorization, they will fight back and open fire with all their might. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Takayuki Aono could only pause heavily, but he was still a little disappreciative in his heart, and he always felt that His Excellency Shaozuo, who was already a little afraid of death, was no longer the high-spirited imperial soldier he was at the beginning.

At this time, while the two old devils were talking at the headquarters, Li Yunlong, who was hiding outside Xicheng, was in the temporary battlefield command tent, relying on the dim flashlight light, looking at the watch on his wrist, and the time was almost the end of the time to prepare for the attack.

"Hit the flares, order the troops, and attack the city. Order Wang Chengzhu to blow up his turtle son for me, kill! Li Yunlong walked out of the military tent of the command headquarters and waved his hand to a soldier on the side of the military tent who was ready to shoot signal flares at any time, and ordered, his tone was resolute.

I saw this soldier stand up and say: "Yes, regiment commander!" ”。

"Bang!" After a signal flare hit the muzzle, the sound sounded, and it was immediately hit into the air dozens of meters high with a tail flame, and exploded violently.

The flare exploded, and the white fireworks exploded in the sky, instantly illuminating the surrounding dark night, and the defenders of some of the top of Gaoyang City below were almost illuminated. The Japanese puppet soldiers in this part of the city couldn't open their eyes irritated by the signal flares that exploded in the sky, and soon some Japanese soldiers came back to their senses and reacted.

"Bagaya Road, enemy attack! Enemy attack, enemy attack!! ”

The signal flare is not something that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Baiyangdian can have, and this suddenly hit the sky over Gaoyang City, indicating that the enemy army is attacking at night. Moreover, at least it was not the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in Baiyangdian, but the Chinese troops of the regular army who attacked Gaoyang City.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers at the head of the city of Xicheng fell, they saw that suddenly the sound of knocking outside the city continued, and then mortar shells roared and smashed into the city heads of the north and south of Xicheng, and exploded violently.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The flames generated by the gorgeous explosion completely illuminated the entire Gaoyang City, and the scattered shell fragments smashed into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers who were fleeing in a hurry at the head of the city.

At the time of the fierce bombardment, Zhang Dabiao's troops and Zhou Huasuo's troops, who were ready to attack the city outside the city, gathered together and launched a fierce attack on Xicheng, where the Japanese army had the largest garrison.

At this time in the city, as soon as the explosion was loud, Yuki Miyashita and Takayuki Aono in the city's command headquarters jumped up in shock for the first time.

"Enemy attack, hurry up, contact the defenders at the head of the city, who is attacking Gaoyang City!" Yuki Miyashita ordered to Chief of Staff Takayuki Aono with a solemn expression.

Takayuki Aono did not hesitate, and after a pause, he hurriedly walked to the table where the field phone was placed, and picked up the phone to directly contact the grassroots commanders of the defenders in the city.
