After listening to the report, the last concern of the brigade commander was dispelled.

He had fought with the Eighth Route Army, and their poor equipment and lack of ammunition forced them to use their limited ammunition on the blade.

The brigade commander has long been surprised that he can fight the imperial army and never shoot at the imperial army, and that he can never shoot at the officers, and that this kind of attack can also weaken the morale and combat effectiveness of the imperial army and the imperial army as much as possible.

Since the other party is fine, he must let them into the city immediately.

It was getting dark, and the Eighth Route Army, which had withdrawn from its position before dawn, would definitely come back immediately.

If the reinforcements do not enter the city in time, they are likely to be blocked outside the city, and their own losses will be great.

Immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, open the city gates, and let reinforcements enter the city." ”

"All the meals we prepared in advance were taken out, and the imperial army and the imperial army that reinforced Baoding were all fed up regardless of their status, and they seized the time to rest."

"There's definitely going to be a bad fight for you tonight."

The heavy north gate slowly opened, and the reinforcements who had been pinned on by the brigade commander slowly entered the fortress-like fortress-like Baoding City.

What the brigade commander didn't know was that this door was more like a gate to hell, and from this moment on, his life had entered the countdown phase.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the plane that had been arrogant all day over Baoding finally disappeared.

The reconnaissance unit of the garrison regiment was the first to appear, and after it was completely dark, the main force of the garrison regiment began to return to the battlefield, and the offensive positions that had been blown up by the Japanese during the day were re-crowded with soldiers, wielding sapper shovels and repairing positions.

The former enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment also moved outside the city, attacking positions almost next to the north gate.

Li Hao walked in and saw Zhou Liang get up from his chair: "Regiment leader, Captain Xiao of the commando team has just sent a secret telegram, and they have successfully entered the city." ”

"Two regiments of the Imperial Allied Army have already controlled five battalions, and one battalion is in progress, and it will definitely be taken within an hour."

"Commander, we have won this battle!" Hong Linfeng smiled on the spot and replied with a steady expression.

"Coupled with the reinforcements that entered the city during the day, the Japanese puppet army in the city added up to more than five thousand."

"We have nearly 7,000 siege troops, a heavy artillery battalion, an armored assault company, and nearly 2,000 internal responses in the city, and we can win this battle with our eyes closed."

Li Hao was noncommittal, and thought for a moment of order: "Call Xiao Yuan back." ”

"The Japanese will definitely let them be cannon fodder, go to the city wall to replace part of the Japanese army, and go down as a reserve."

"We must not allow the Japanese conspiracy to succeed."

"The main force of the regiment launched an attack half an hour later, and the internal troops tried to find a way to block the Japanese army at the head of the city, and cooperated with the main force of the regiment to attack them in front and rear to annihilate them, so as to avoid street fighting with them in Baoding City."

At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade, the depressed atmosphere of last night has noticeably become lighter.

The brigade commander sat in his own position, and his confidence in holding Baoding became more and more sufficient.

These are all brought by reinforcements to themselves.

Although more than 2,000 people are not many, they can greatly relieve the defensive pressure of Baoding, and also allow themselves to have mobile troops when they are short of troops.

The deputy chief of staff suddenly proposed: "General, the reinforcements have nearly two thousand imperial troops, and their combat effectiveness is limited, so it should be no problem to rely on the city fortifications for defense, but if they are used as mobile troops, they can reinforce the battlefield at any time and make up for our defense loopholes, it will be a bit reluctant." ”

"Humble advice, send them to the city wall immediately, and replace some imperial troops as reserves."

The role of the reserve in a battle is no less than that of a front-line combat unit.

Of course, the brigade commander would not put such a heavy task on a group of imperial allies, and immediately ordered: "It is exactly what I want." ”

"Immediately give an order to the reinforcements, first draw four battalions of the Imperial Association Army out, and divide the troops to reinforce the four city walls."

"Give an order to the commanders on the four city walls, as soon as the Imperial Allied Army reinforces them are in place, immediately draw two squadrons of Imperial troops out of the battle, and rush to the brigade headquarters to report that I have more important tasks for them."

"Boom ......"

The long-lost cannon fire resounded on the battlefield.

On the wall north of the city, the faces of all the Japanese puppet soldiers changed.

The explosion was too violent, far from being comparable to mortars and mountain artillery.

A few hundred meters away, an orange-red fireball rose into the air, and the black smoke wrapped in the fireball soared into the sky, just looking at this battle was particularly terrifying.

"It's heavy artillery, the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack!" One of his subordinates screamed with his mouth open and his face full of shock.

A heavy touch flashed on the captain's face, he didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to be so ruthless, and he bombarded it with heavy artillery when he came up, and he didn't give the defending troops a chance to breathe.

Hurriedly ordered: "The guard post is left, and the other troops will immediately retreat to the city, and we will come back when the shelling is over and the Eighth Route Army begins to attack the city." ”

"Boom ......"

The sound of the cannon became more and more dense, and soon it became loud.

Especially in the north of the city, near the city gate, the heavy artillery shells seemed to have eyes, and all of them smashed on this section of the city wall.

"Sir, that section of the city wall must be the main attack position of the Eighth Route Army, they want to blow up a gap with heavy artillery, and then cover the infantry to rush in." Another subordinate analyzed with trepidation.

"Didn't the general send us a battalion of the Imperial Army?" The captain commanded with a frown.

"Directly arrange for them to go there to plug the gap, prepare sandbags, and fill them with sandbags if the city wall is blown up, and never let the Eighth Route Army enter the city."

"Order the three or four squadrons to prepare to return to the brigade headquarters, and as soon as the Imperial Allied Army arrives, they will immediately withdraw from the battle."

The explosion of the "boom ......" sounded for nearly ten minutes before it stopped.

Although the section of the city wall that was taken care of was not blown down, the battlements on it had been blown to pieces, and the bricks of the wall in several places had also been blown away, revealing the loess inside.

The captain of the group breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could rejoice, the explosion rang again.

The sound wasn't as intense as it had just been, but it was very dense.

The captain of the group knew: it was mortars and mountain artillery that participated in the battle.

They have a faster rate of fire and a higher accuracy than heavy guns, making them excellent artillery for covering infantry attacks, and they are immediately ordered.

"Prepare for battle, the Eighth Route Army is about to start attacking."

Before the words fell, a guard post ran over from the city: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army is coming towards us." ”

"Why hasn't the Imperial Allied Army arrived yet!" The captain was dissatisfied and scolded.

The returning troops are ready to retreat, but if the Imperial Allied Army is not in place, they cannot retreat, otherwise there will definitely be a hole in the defense of the North Gate.

The deputy captain explained: "Sir, after all, the reinforcements have just entered the city, and they have been on the road for a day during the day, so they must need to rest, otherwise they will be cannon fodder on the battlefield, and they will have no combat effectiveness, so let's let our own people go first!" ”

The captain nodded and decisively ordered: "All the troops will go to the city wall and resolutely repel the attack of the Eighth Route Army......"
