"Your Excellency, Duolun's 3rd Infantry Brigade may only be able to send three infantry squadrons of more than 800 people to the south for reinforcements. What's more, we are suddenly besieged, and the troops of this Eighth Route Army must have been prepared to intercept the reinforcements from Duolun south! I'm afraid, within an hour, you can't fully count on Doron's reinforcements! ”

Pointing to the map spread out on the table, Shojiro Yuda said in a condensed voice, his eyes solemn.

The enemy army besieged Baochang, and it was impossible not to know that there was a brigade of Japanese troops stationed in Duolun City, north of Baochang. Therefore, Shojiro Girata believed that the Eighth Route Army besieging Baochang must have sent a blocking force to the north of Baochang to block the Japanese army in Duolun from moving south to reinforce it.

Therefore, within half an hour, it was impossible to expect the Japanese reinforcements in Duolun to quickly reach the city of Baochang.

was reminded by Shojiro Yamajiro, and Shojiro Yamazuki suddenly came back to his senses.

The Eighth Route Army's tactics of encircling the point to send reinforcements and blocking reinforcements have always been very slippery. For Masaro Yamazumi, who had fought with the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army and the small main force, Shojiro Yuta's reminder was right.

From this point of view, Duolun's reinforcements are heading south, and I am afraid that they will not be able to count on it in a short time.

However, at this time, the whole city of Baochang had been attacked, and the city gates in three directions had been lost. The street battle in the city has begun, and at this time, it can only hold on to Baochang and insist on the arrival of reinforcements.

"At this time, it is impossible for us to lead the army to break out, the terrain around Baochang is flat, and only by holding on to Baochang City can we have a chance to wait for reinforcements to arrive! Someone came and immediately sent a report to Duolun and Zhangbei, informing them that Li Yunlong's main force had crossed over from Yinshan to the east and attacked our imperial army stationed in Baochang! Request reinforcements! ”

The confidential staff officer of the devil on the side immediately paused his head and replied, and then hurried away to send someone to send a report.

Shojiro Yukuda reminded: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, did you send a report to General Matsui to inform me that the Baochang garrison was besieged by Li Yunlong's army? ”。

"Chief of Staff, you reminded me in time, I almost forgot! Immediately send a telegram to General Matsui, telling His Excellency that Baochang is in danger and asking for reinforcements! By the way, the chief of staff sent a report to the garrisons in Guyuan and Hongchengzi, asking them to all send out reinforcements to Baochang. ”

After thinking about it, Shojiro Yamazumi ordered.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the imperial army in Guyuan and Hongchengzi combined is only three hundred, I'm afraid it won't help!"

Guyuan and Hongchengzi are the closest to Baochang in terms of Duolun and Zhangbei.

It's just that the devil garrisons in these two places add up to only one squadron or more than a few points, and all of them are dispatched to reinforce Baochang, I'm afraid it will be useless.

You must know that in the midst of the sound of gunfire, Yamazuki Shojiro realized that Shojiro Yukita's estimate of the strength of the Eighth Route Army besieging Baochang was in agreement, and the other side was between more than 6,000 and 8,000 people.

The troops are abundant, and the devil garrisons in Guyuan and Hongchengzi combined all sent out to reinforce Baochang, just to deliver food.

However, Shojiro Yuda said: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, you can order the imperial army of Guyuan and Hongchengzi to reinforce Baochang, wait for the friendly reinforcements to go south with Duolun, and then reinforce Baochang first." At that time, Duolun, Guyuan, and Hongchengzi combined had more than 1,000 reinforcements against our Baochang, which was enough to deter the Eighth Route Army besieging Baochang. ”。

"Yo Si! Chief of Staff, you are right! Then send a report to the garrison of Guyuan and Hongchengzi, and ask them to immediately dispatch and march towards Baochang. After waiting for the reinforcements from Duolun to reconcile, we will carry out a counter-encirclement of the Eighth Route Army on the periphery of Baochang! ”

After a pause, Yamazumi Shojiro said, "In addition, immediately convey my order to all the departments in the city and the Imperial Army, and the reinforcements will soon arrive in Baochang and strictly order all the departments to fight to the death!" Otherwise, without the stationing in Baochang, the oil and water of the past will no longer exist! ’。

"Understood, Your Excellency Shaozuo!" Shojiro gave him a heavy pause, and then hurried to deploy.

At this time, the shouting and killing sound of the whole city of Baochang was clearly audible, Yamazumi Shojiro frowned, the other party had entered Baochang from the north gate, the west gate and the south gate, and the street battle had begun.

Once the strength of the street battle could not hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, Yamazumi Shojiro secretly planned in his heart that only the guard troops of the concentrated brigade headquarters would abandon Baochang and break out.

When Yamaji Shojiro responded to the siege of Li Yunlong and others, Li Yunlong, who was commanding various troops to attack Baochang, was already standing at the head of the south gate of Baochang, climbing high and looking at all parts of the city.

At this time, all over the city of Baochang, the sound of guns and shouts of killing came and went, and the troops who entered Baochang from Sanmen had already encircled and attacked the headquarters of the Japanese defenders in the city.

However, because the Japanese army in the city has been stationed in Baochang for several years, the devil infantry brigade under Yamaji Shojiro is also very elite, and the tax collection is full of money, and the combat strength in his hands has not decayed.

Faced with the fact that the three city gates had been lost and the street battles in the city had been fiercely launched, Shojiro Yamazumi actually commanded the devil troops and the Imperial Association Army under his command to launch a fierce street battle counterattack.

"Report to the head of the regiment, the east gate has also been taken by our department! Now, the four gates of Baochang have fallen into my hands! ”

Li Yunlong, who was standing on the tower of the South Gate and looking into the distance, was quickly interrupted by a report.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he laughed and said: "It's a good fight, order the troops who break through the city from the east gate, give me a hard blow, and quickly attack and advance to the devil headquarters in the city, and meet with other departments around the devil headquarters in the city!" Give orders to all departments, speed up, and within twenty minutes, deal with the Japanese puppet army troops in Baochangso! We don't have enough time! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" The herald departed.

Li Yunlong is smile at the corner of his mouth, although the devil of Baochang has an infantry brigade, but in the face of the siege of more than 7,000 elites in his hands, Li Yunlong still holds the handle in his hand to destroy the Japanese army in Baochang.

As for the strength of more than 2,000 people of a reinforced regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army in the city that assisted in defending the city, it had already been rushed by the sudden onslaught of its own momentum.

Li Yunlong has continuously received reports from various ministries that he has captured a large number of routs of the Imperial Association Army who have not had time to take off their military uniforms and hide in their houses, and there are already hundreds of them.

It is conceivable that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army is not worth mentioning, and it is almost ignored by Li Yunlong.

As long as the Japanese army in Baochang is annihilated, the overall situation of Baochang can be determined.

"But the little devil in Baochang actually fought well in the street fight, if this drags on for a long time, it will not be good for me!" Although Li Yunlong was confident that he could completely annihilate the Japanese army in Baochang City, after the various units entered the city, the counterattack of the Japanese army in the street battle that came immediately was very fierce, and it seemed that the street battle in Baochang would take at least a lot of time.

Fortunately, the four gates of Baochang have fallen into their own hands, and the little devils in Baochang want to rely on street battles to block their own troops attacking the city, which is just wishful thinking.
