Li Yunlong pondered for a while, and Zhou Hua's suggestion was not impossible. On the one hand, it is late at night, and it is not easy to blast the city wall with a coffin filled with explosives.

What's more, judging from the map at this time, the Japanese puppet army in Baoding City could not hold out, ignoring the provocation of their own cavalry company around the city. This shows that the enemy army in Baoding already knows the details of their own side and will not easily go out of the city to counterattack.

Perhaps, the little devil's reinforcements have already been reinforced from the north and south of the railway line. And Dingxing, Wangdu, Xushui and other places near Baoding, under the rapid reinforcement, at least in terms of time, it is not conducive to their own troops under the fortified city for a long time.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "It's too late in time, although it is a good way to blast the west city wall by blasting the city wall, it is a good way to enter the city." But Baoding is on the Pinghan railway line, and Baoding north-south railway line, the little devil in Wangdu, Xushui, Dingxing and other cities of the garrison is bound to have been Baoding enemy army for help, at this time these little devils in the city are bound to have raised troops to reinforce, time we can not be too used in digging tunnels! ”。

Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion, said with a smile: "Regiment commander, the little devil does not go out of the city easily at this time, and Baoding is a big city, and the city wall is wide and long. With the strength of the Japanese puppet army in the city, it is impossible for the Japanese puppet army on the head of the city to completely hold every section. My suggestion is to concentrate some of the men and horses to feint, and we will send men and horses to quietly approach the city wall under the cover of night, and use coffins full of explosives to gather under the city wall, and when the time comes, they will blow up together, which is enough to blow up the city wall. ”。

"Hey, you're right. It's a labor handicap, so let's fight according to your method. ”

Li Yunlong thought about it, Zhou Hua's kid's method is actually good. At least at this time, the enemy army in Baoding City did not dare to go out of the city to counterattack, and their own side at least grasped the initiative to attack the city, and after thinking about it, they agreed to Zhou Hua's suggestion.

Then, Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "Without further ado, time waits for no one." Taking advantage of the cover of the wind and snow and the night, Sun Desheng's cavalry company continued to provoke around the city, monitoring the movements of the Japanese puppet army in the direction of each city. Zhang Dabiao! ”。

"Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao said in response, with a solemn expression.

I saw Li Yunlong pointing to the map and said, "You sent two companies in the first battalion to feint and attack the northern city of Baoding and carry out a fierce attack on the city. Zhou Hua's department sent elite personnel to collect coffins and mobilize explosives from the whole battalion together with Duan Peng's special combat team. Within fifteen minutes, the blasting of the western wall had to begin. The rest of the troops are the main force, ready to storm the city. ”。

"Yes, Commander! Mission completion guaranteed! Zhang Dabiao, Zhou Hua and others got up one after another, and then dispersed and prepared to go.

Li Yunlong, on the other hand, set up his headquarters in the dense forest less than 300 meters outside the western city of Baoding, and relied on the cover of wind, snow, and night to directly reach the enemy troops observing the head of Baoding City.

At this time, in the Japanese headquarters in the city, the captain of the 1st Infantry Brigade of the 1st Wing of the Independent 7th Brigade and Regiment under the direct control of the North China Front Headquarters, Asuka Taguchi, was discussing the battle situation with the chief of staff, Yuichiro Takami.

In the bright headquarters, the squadron leaders and other high-ranking officers under the command of several major brigades gathered at the headquarters one after another, following the operational instructions of Asuka Taguchi.

After some orders, several Japanese squadron leaders left the headquarters one after another, returned to their respective units, and instructed the little devil soldiers to strengthen the garrison and vigilance according to Taguchi Asuka's order.

"Boom, boom!!! Bang Bang Bang !! Suddenly, a sudden burst of explosions and gunfire rang out, and they reached directly into the headquarters of Asuka Taguchi in the city.

Looking down at the military map, Asuka Taguchi, who was discussing the military situation with Chief of Staff Yuichiro Takami, raised his head and looked outside. I saw that the fire that exploded outside was directly lit up, so that Taguchi Asuka knew that Li Yunlong's department outside the city had already begun to move.

Sure enough, soon there were grassroots officers of the Japanese garrison in the direction of Beicheng who directly contacted the Japanese command headquarters in the city by phone at the head of the city and reported the situation to the headquarters.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, the defenders of Beicheng report that Li Yunlong's troops have started to attack the city! The other side has used at least a dozen mortars, at least two infantry guns and a large number of light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers and other firearms, and is storming the northern city! Our Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army fought together to block the onslaught of the Chinese army, but the opponent's firepower was too strong, and the defenders of Beicheng asked for firepower reinforcements. Yuichiro Takami, the chief of staff who personally picked up the phone and listened, listened for less than half a minute, and reported directly to Asuka Taguchi.

Asuka Taguchi's eyes were solemn, and he asked: "Chief of Staff, you tell the defenders of Beicheng to hold the head of the city, not to let the Shina army reach under the city wall, and use all firepower to counterattack and block the offensive of the Shina army." Ordered the troops in the garrison warehouse in the city to transfer three infantry guns and ten mortars from the arsenal to support the defenders of the northern city. ”。

"Hayi, Your Excellency Shaozuo, I understand my humble duties." Yuichiro Takami nodded, and then ordered the defenders of the northern city to hold on and wait for reinforcements over the phone.

It's just that at this time, the old devil Taguchi Asuka understands that Li Yunlong's troops are only storming the north city at this time, but the other city head directions are not storming, but their cavalry continues to provoke around the city, it seems that the north city is the main attack, and the other city head directions are just feints and provocations?

"Chief of Staff, do you think that Li Yunlong commanded his troops to storm Beicheng, but did not move in other directions, is there any other conspiracy?" Asuka Taguchi suddenly asked Yuichiro Takami, the chief of staff.

Yuichiro Takami smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, I don't know what Li Yunlong plans to do. However, the offensive in Beicheng is fierce, and there may be plans to break through from the direction of Beicheng. The terrain of Baoding City is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, and it enters the city from the direction of the north city, and has the advantage of rushing down from a high position. Perhaps, Li Yunlong has this plan. ”。

Asuka Taguchi couldn't deny it, but the old devil vaguely felt in his heart that things wouldn't be so simple. Although the other side estimated that there was only one regiment of men and horses, the sound of guns and artillery from the direction of Beicheng was very few rifles and a lot of fire from submachine guns and light machine guns. Once it is killed into Baoding City by such an elite Eighth Route Legion-level force, judging from the strength of Taguchi Asuka's own infantry brigade, it is a bit risky to hold Baoding.

Therefore, after learning of Li Yunlong's achievements, Taguchi Asuka will pay attention to his previous contempt for the Chinese army. According to the order of Tada Jun in the city of Beiping, stick to the backup to avoid accidents. After all, in Baoding City, there are all kinds of military materials transported back and forth through Baoding Railway Station, once the city is lost, these materials are lost, and Tada Jun will not go around the Taguchi Asuka and others who are guarding the city.
