Beiping City, the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese Army in the city.

"Your Excellency Commander, the urgent telegram I just received is a farewell telegram from Asuka Taguchi, the commander of the garrison brigade of the 7th Independent Brigade in Baoding City. Baoding is lost! In the midst of the hurried footsteps, Haruki Fujimoto, chief of staff of the headquarters, walked quickly to Tada Jun, who was sitting on the main seat and looking at the map of Ji Province intently, and said, his tone was also a little surprised.

Tada Jun got up suddenly, took the telegram handed by Haruki Fujimoto and looked at it, and in less than ten seconds, the old devil was furious.

"Waste, Asuka Taguchi, this waste. With 3,000 troops in hand, and a complete infantry brigade, there is no shortage of food, grass and ammunition in the city, and in less than 20 minutes, he lost Baoding City to me? Rubbish! ”

Tada Jun scolded, and the Japanese staff officers who came and went at the headquarters were pestle one by one, and they were all a little trembling. Tada Jun's temper is clear to the little devil staff.

"All of them are going to work, what are you doing? Eight Ga Ya Road! After scolding for a while, he found that the headquarters was quiet, and when he saw the devil staff officers of the headquarters, he immediately scolded.

The little devil staff officers of the headquarters, who were a little afraid to move by Tada Jun's scolding, scattered one after another and went to do their own thing.

At this time, the chief of staff, Haruki Fujimoto, persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, Baoding is lost. In Baoding City, through the Pinghan Railway Line, the grain, grass and ammunition stored in the warehouse in the city when passing through Baoding City can arm at least one wing. So much grain, grass and ammunition were delivered to the front line of the Yellow River!".

"Damn, could it be that Li Yunlong's troops are really so awesome? So strong in combat? Tada Jun muttered to himself and said in a low voice, Tada Jun was also helpless, who would have thought that Taguchi Asuka would defend the city, and he couldn't withstand the siege of a regiment of the Zhina Army personally commanded by Li Yunlong, who was running around!

It's unbelievable, Tada Jun thought in shock.

Hearing Haruki Fujimoto's words at this time, Jun Tada came back to his senses and motioned to Haruki Fujimoto not to stand, but to sit down first.

"The situation is different, and troops must be dispatched. Where are the three armies that reinforced Baoding advancing from north to south now? ”

Fujimoto Haruki pointed to the map and said: "Your Excellency, the commander has contacted the Xushui reinforcements who rushed to Baoding to reinforce the fastest, and the imperial army sent by Xushui to reinforce only had two squadrons of strength, about six hundred people. It is estimated that there will be at least half an hour or so to be able to arrive in Baoding! The other two reinforcements followed, and it would take at least forty minutes to reach Baoding. What's more, not to mention ......! ”。

"What's more? Go ahead! Tada Jun waved his hand, Baoding has been lost, and if anything happens, Tada Jun is already in a hurry.

Haruki Fujimoto said with a wry smile: "The railway from Wangdu to Baoding and from Dingxing to Baoding was suddenly attacked by the unknown armed forces of the Chinese Army, and the railway was blown up. Reinforcements carrying troop reinforcements by train may not be able to reach Baoding according to the time of reinforcements! ”。

"Nani?" Tada Jun said angrily: "Order reinforcements, trains can't carry troops." He ordered them to march on foot and rush to Baoding. At the very least, we must advance north and south to intercept Li Yunlong's troops in the area around Baoding! ”。

After thinking about it, Tada Jun ordered Fujimoto Haruki again: "Order the 11th Air Brigade of the Imperial Army at Nanyuan Airport to send bombers to bomb Baoding for me." The target is in Baoding City, and the Imperial Army reserves the grain, grass and ammunition in the arsenal in Baoding City through the railway! ”。

"Your Excellency Commander, in the warehouse of Baoding City, there is a reserve of grain, grass and ammunition needed by a wing. Wouldn't it be a pity that once bombers were bombed, all these supplies would be blown up? ”

The Japanese are island countries and are very poor in strategic materials. Although they conquered a large area of China and looted countless supplies. But it takes time and effort to convert them into materials needed for war.

And those military supplies in Baoding City, if they are used in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it will not be a problem to equip a division.

Thinking of this, Tada Jun said coldly: "Even if it is blown up, it can't fall into the hands of Li Yunlong's new group." This man trained soldiers and horses, and was very good at commanding operations. Once Li Yunlong is asked to transport all the grain, grass and ammunition in Baoding City, it will not take long, and when the time comes, Li Yunlong's regiment of men and horses, through this batch of materials, will be enough to recruit troops and horses and expand their strength. And when the time comes, we will be facing the Eighth Route Army commanded by 10,000, or even tens of thousands, of elite Li Yunlong! Execute the order! ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, do your bidding."

Tada Shundu ordered so, and Fujimoto Haruki thought about it too.

With Tada Jun's order, the Japanese air force stationed at the Nanyuan airfield in Beiping dispatched more than a dozen bombers and several escort fighters of the 11th Air Brigade to fly south towards Baoding.

At this time, in the city of Baoding, the sound of guns and cannons of fierce battles has gradually subsided. Immediately after, Li Yunlong, who went into the city to inspect the fruitful results, directly ordered the soldiers of all units to quickly clean up the battlefield.

In the city, in the compound of the Baoding Governor's Palace, which was originally built during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the headquarters of the Japanese army was full of dead Japanese soldiers.

Among them, Asuka Taguchi, who was beaten into a sieve, and more than a dozen Japanese staff officers under his command were killed.

"Regiment commander, I have contacted the guerrillas of our army in the mountains near Baoding City, they have taken thousands of people who support us, and have used all the carriages, carts and other vehicles that can carry grain, grass and ammunition, and have entered the city to carry grain, grass and ammunition!" In the headquarters of the little devils, Li Yunlong, who was observing the results of the battle, ushered in an urgent report from Duan Peng, who went out to meet the guerrillas of our army near the mountains outside the city.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded and said to Zhang Dabiao and the others on the side: "Order the brothers, replenish the consumed ammunition." It is enough to carry the supplies and ammunition that can support the attack for several days, and let the guerrillas who carry food, grass and ammunition into the city carry the rest. By the way, let the brothers hurry up and take a break, according to the urgent report of our army's intelligence officers lurking in Xushui City, north of Baoding, the little devils of Xushui sent reinforcements to get off the train and marched to Baoding on foot. We're running out of time! ”。

"Understood, Captain!" Everyone nodded when they heard this, and then dispersed one after another, preparing for their own purposes.

However, after not waiting for a long time, a signal soldier with the army rushed to Li Yunlong and said in a low voice: "Regiment commander, the top secret emergency telegram from the brigade headquarters: the core intelligence personnel of our army who are lurking in the headquarters of the North China Front of the Japanese army in Beiping have sent out information, and Tada Jun ordered the 11th Air Brigade of the Japanese Air Force at Nanyuan Airport in Beiping to dispatch more than ten Japanese-made Type 96 carrier-based bombers and several Zero fighters, which have flown towards Baoding, and the goal is to bomb the warehouse of the Japanese army in Baoding City where grain and ammunition are stored!" ”。
