Two days have passed, and the brigade commander has not yet received the good news from the chief of staff, but there is a lot of good news.

When the two raids almost wiped out the Eighth Route Army that entered the mountain, I don't know if it was their luck or what, there were always troops who broke the siege at a critical moment.

In the end, it slipped out of his mouth.

"General, the chief of staff reported that they have been taken around the mountains by the Eighth Route Army for the past two days."

"The Eighth Route Army was too cunning and slipped out from under their noses twice, but the chief of staff was confident that they would be eliminated."

"Although not all the Eighth Route Army was wiped out into the mountain, they still killed at least 300 of them through surprise attacks and piecemeal fighting."

"Unless the Eighth Route Army that entered the mountains withdraws from Baoding, the chief of staff will be able to completely annihilate them in three days."

The telegram did not say anything about the casualties of the sweeping troops, and the communications staff did not report it, and after saying that, he stood in front of the brigade commander and waited for orders.

The brigade commander did not pay much attention to these things, and decisively ordered: "I don't want the process, just the result." ”

"Call back to the chief of staff: Don't worry, the sweeping troops must fight steadily and steadily, and completely annihilate all the Eighth Route Army."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the brigade headquarters, which had been lively for a day, finally quieted down, and only a few staff officers on duty were busy inside.

The telephone rang again very abruptly, and the staff officer on duty at the same time put down his work and looked up at the phone that was ringing.

The communications staff officer quickly grabbed the phone: "Moses Moses...... Here is the brigade headquarters ......"

After listening for less than half a minute, the communications staff officer covered the microphone with his left hand and shouted to the deputy chief of staff on duty: "Sir, in an emergency, you need to come and answer the phone in person!" ”

The deputy chief of staff strode over and took the microphone, and after listening to it for less than two minutes, his face changed, and he ordered while returning the microphone to the communications staff officer: "You continue to keep in touch with the other party, and report the situation as soon as possible." ”

"You guys should find out the information about the Toyota Town stronghold immediately, as quickly as possible."

"There's an accident there, reinforcements are urgently needed, I'll report to His Excellency the Brigade Commander now."

The brigade commander walked into the war room three minutes later, and asked as he walked: "How many garrisons are there in the stronghold of Toyota Town, how is the equipment, how far is it from the county seat, and are there any other garrisons around?" ”

The staff officer who had already prepared the information hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency, the stronghold of Toyota Town is eighteen kilometers away from us, and there is a reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army, two companies of the Imperial Allied Army, and a total strength of nearly 400 people. ”

"Equipped with three mortars, three heavy machine guns, and fifteen light machine guns......"

"There are no other garrisons around except for the county seat."

The brigade commander's face was obviously a little more solemn than when he first came in, and he continued to ask: "How many Eighth Route Army have attacked the stronghold of Toyota Town, and how long can they hold out?" ”

After hearing the order, the communications staff officer immediately covered the microphone and reported: "The stronghold reports that the Eighth Route Army, which attacked them, has two companies, equipped with four mortars and three flying thunder guns, and at least four heavy machine guns. ”

"The outer defense line of the stronghold has been breached, and three bunkers have been bombed."

"If there are no reinforcements, the stronghold can last for three days at most!"

The deputy chief of staff suddenly reminded: "Your Excellency, General, I thought of the fact that the stronghold of Nanyan Town was captured by the Eighth Route Army a few days ago!" ”

"The methods of the two attacks are almost identical, and the attacking troops are similar, both equipped with mortars and flying thunder guns, will this Eighth Route Army be in the same group as the Eighth Route Army that attacked the stronghold of Nanyan Town before?"

"The Eighth Route Army, which attacked the stronghold of Nanyan Town, is being chased and beaten by the chief of staff, and it is in danger."

"In order to avoid the annihilation of their entire army, the Eighth Route Army, which wants to build a base in Baoding, dispatched a new force to attack the stronghold of Toyota Town, attack the east and the west, and relieve the siege of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Nanyan Town?"

After listening to the report of the staff officer on duty, this idea popped up in the head of the brigade commander, and after listening to the analysis of the deputy chief of staff, this idea immediately became firm.

Frowning and replied, "Quite possibly!" ”

"But the Eighth Route Army also underestimated the strength of our Baoding garrison."

"No matter what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army attacking the stronghold of Toyota Town is, I will not move it from the chief of staff."

"They're going to win soon, and it's taboo to move them now, I'm not stupid."

"There are more than 6,000 garrisons in Baoding City, and it is completely possible to transfer more than 1,000 people out of the city?"

"Order the Second Infantry Brigade, the Second Battalion of the Imperial Army, to immediately assemble out of the city and reinforce the stronghold of Toyota Town."

"Regardless of whether the stronghold of Toyota Town can be kept or not, they must completely annihilate all the Eighth Route Armies that attacked the stronghold of Toyota Town, and give the other Eighth Route Armies a lesson that will never be forgotten."

A day has passed, and the chief of staff who reinforces Nanyan Town has not yet sent back the good news......

The troops reinforcing the town of Toyota were also in vain, not only were they raided twice by the fire of the Eighth Route Army on the way to reinforcements, but the stronghold of the town of Toyota was also lost.

Even if there was no order from the brigade commander to completely annihilate the opponent, the captain of the Japanese army who led the team could not bear this evil breath, and vowed to kill the Eighth Route Army that raided him last night and avenge the subordinates who died in the battle, otherwise he would definitely lose his face and look completely immortal.

At nine o'clock in the evening, after confirming that the two striking troops were not in danger, the brigade commander finally thought of entering the convoy in Baoding tomorrow.

Before going to bed, he ordered: "The 3rd Infantry Brigade set off at one o'clock in the morning, marched to the receiving point, and escorted the weapons and ammunition of the front army southward into Baoding City!" ”

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao's long-lost moment has finally arrived.

"Regiment commander, political commissar urgent telegram: The Japanese southbound transport team will enter Baoding early tomorrow morning, rest in Baoding City tomorrow night, and leave Baoding the morning after tomorrow to continue southward." Hong Linfeng's face was already happy, and he reported excitedly.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!" Li Hao excitedly got up from his chair and strode to the map to order.

"Send a telegram to Huang Sheng, the commander of the first battalion: Give me the Japanese puppet army to hunt him down tomorrow night, and then kill Baoding."

"He has a main battalion and two company-sized guerrillas in his hands, it should be no problem, and the Japanese puppet army has also been led by his nose around the mountains for several days, and it has long been dragged thin."

"Send a telegram to Huang Sheng, the commander of the third battalion, command the third battalion, the fourth battalion, and the guerrillas who cooperate with their actions, find a way to kill the Japanese puppet army chasing them tomorrow night, and then turn around and kill Baoding City."

"Five, six, seven, eighty, four main battalions, cavalry battalions, set off in the early morning and divided their troops to infiltrate Baoding."

"Each main battalion is responsible for the ten-kilometer section of the road that the Japanese transport team will take after entering Baoding, and you will arrange who is responsible for which section of the staff."

"After the transport team entered their respective defense areas, they launched an attack with squads and platoons as units, killing and injuring a large number of the living forces of the Japanese puppet army.

"The raid mission is complete, and the battalions are on standby. After dark, we played the banner of our garrison regiment, and fought to Baoding City with great fanfare, and a main battalion was responsible for one direction, regardless of the main attack and assist, and took the outer defense line of Baoding City in the shortest possible time and surrounded Baoding City. ”

"The air defense battalion, the heavy artillery battalion, the baggage battalion, the chariot company, and the guard battalion will set off tomorrow night as soon as it gets dark, enter Baoding with great fanfare, and go straight to Baoding City."

"The regimental headquarters entered Baoding with the guard battalion."
