The Japanese brigade headquarters and brigade commander did not break through after all.

The firepower of the reconnaissance company and the assault team was too fierce, and in addition to being equipped with a large number of light machine guns, almost everyone had one submachine gun, which was no less powerful than light machine guns.

Although the range is short, it is not suitable for offense, but it is definitely more than enough for defense.

More than a dozen submachine guns lined up in a row to strafe the Japanese breakthrough troops, and no amount of devils protecting the brigade commander to break through was not enough to kill.

Until he was killed by a string of submachine gun bullets, the brigade commander did not know how he was defeated in the battle of Baoding.

In front of the enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, Zhou Liang ran over with an excited face: "Regiment commander, good news!" ”

"The commando team and the reconnaissance company successfully took out the Japanese brigade headquarters and the brigade commander ten minutes ago. They are now dividing their forces to take the large and small arsenals and material warehouses in Baoding City. ”

Hong Linfeng was so excited that he almost jumped up, and said with great certainty: "Regiment commander, without command, the little devils on the city wall will definitely be a mess, and with the cooperation of the hidden troops, we will win this battle!" ”

"Report ......" the heralds of the seventh battalion rushed in.

"The regiment commander, the chief of staff, and the battalion commander asked me to report that we have entered Baoding City, and the north gate has been broken through by us."

"Regiment commander, the south gate of Baoding was broken through by us, and at least one main force was killed in a row at the head of the city." Another herald ran in to report.

"Commander, the devils defending the east gate abandoned the city wall, but were blocked by our lurking troops at the foot of the city wall. The siege force has occupied the city, and is fighting with the latent troops inside and outside to annihilate all the Japanese and Japanese troops......"

After the four main attack battalions all entered the city, Li Hao's worries disappeared completely, and his serious face finally showed a long-lost smile, looking at Hong Linfeng's order.

"Chief of Staff, the overall situation has been decided, and no matter how much the remaining Japanese troops in the city struggle, they can't make any big waves."

"Pass my order, except for the five, six, seven, eighty, four main battalions and the hidden troops under the command of Deputy Commander Luo to continue to destroy the remnants of the enemy in the city, all other troops will withdraw from the battle."

After speaking, he walked to the map and pointed to several counties around Baoding to analyze: "In order to rescue Baoding, the Japanese puppet army in these counties almost poured out. ”

"It's a great opportunity to take them down."

"Chief of Staff, you immediately make a battle plan, I will launch a major counterattack and take the opportunity to take these county seats."

"Contact the reinforcements first, and continue to drag the reinforcements sent by these counties."

"Our troops carried heavy weapons and heavy ammunition, and while replenishing equipment and ammunition for the reinforcements, they bypassed the reinforcements of the Japanese puppet army and directly attacked the county seat."

"Each siege force carries at least four mountain artillery, two large-caliber mortars, and ten mortars."

"If it is not enough, it will be replenished from the battlefield capture, and if the artillery is not enough, ask the heavy artillery battalion to borrow someone."

"After taking these counties, the troops will make persistent efforts, and cooperate with all the reinforcements to annihilate all the Japanese puppet troops who are reinforcing Baoding, and I will take Baoding and several surrounding counties."

Any local battle will have a greater or lesser impact on the entire battle situation, and the major counteroffensive that the garrison is about to fight is no exception.

After the combat application was sent to the headquarters, the boss was keenly aware that this was an excellent opportunity to fight a larger-scale counterattack.

Immediately issued an order to the Eighth Route Army around Baoding to cooperate in the operation.

At three o'clock in the morning, the gunfire in Baoding City completely stopped, but Baoding City did not quiet down, but became more and more lively.

"Report to Regiment Commander Li, I am Zhang Chengyun, deputy head of the Second Independent Regiment, and I came over to receive a batch of weapons and ammunition on the order of my superiors!" A middle-aged man was taken by the guards into the front enemy headquarters of the garrison regiment, first saluted, and then reported.

Li Hao was not polite, and asked directly: "Hello Deputy Head Zhang, I'm Li Hao, I want to know how many means of transportation you have brought?" ”

"Report to Commander Li, I have brought a total of thirty mules and horses, ten carts, and a baggage company and a main force company." Zhang Chengyun replied very quickly.

Li Hao thought for a while and ordered a staff officer beside him: "Staff Officer Zhou, you immediately enter the city and ask Deputy Commander Luo to draw 500 rifles, 20 light machine guns, 5 heavy machine guns, 5 mortars, and 150,000 rounds of ammunition to Deputy Commander Zhang." ”

After finishing speaking, he shifted his gaze back to Zhang Chengyun: "Deputy Head Zhang, I just calculated, these weapons and ammunition should be the limit of what you can take away." ”

"Bring these weapons and ammunition back first, and send someone over if necessary."

Sending people to Baoding to transport weapons and ammunition was an order given by the higher authorities to the Second Independent Regiment.

At that time, the idea of the regiment was to be satisfied if they could bring back one or two hundred rifles and some bullets, but they didn't expect that there were so many, even heavy machine guns and mortars, and they were shocked and quickly replied: "Enough, Commander Li." ”

"With these weapons and ammunition, the 2nd Independent Regiment will soon be expanded into a reinforced regiment."

Li Hao knew very well that the purpose of the headquarters for asking them to come to Baoding to replenish weapons and ammunition was not just as simple as letting them use these weapons to expand the troops into reinforced regiments, but to brew a larger military operation.

Shaking his head, he replied: "No, these weapons and ammunition are far from enough. ”

"You bring back these weapons and ammunition now, and then draw two more companies, bring more mules, horses, and carts, and the speed must be fast, and I will prepare another 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 500 shells, 5,000 grenades and grenades for you."

"If there are more transports, bring back five hundred rifles."

"You're sure you're right to listen to me."

Someone gave himself so many weapons and ammunition for nothing, of course Zhang Chengyun would not refuse.

My face has long bloomed with joy, I didn't expect such a big surprise waiting for me on this trip, hurry up and answer!

"Don't wait to go back, I'll send someone to ride back now, let the regiment commander collect the transport, and come over overnight."

Suddenly, the city of Baoding was transformed from a battlefield into a material transit station.

The main forces of the Eighth Route Army, local troops, and guerrillas all rushed here to rush weapons and ammunition......

A day later, several counties around Baoding were the first to be attacked.

In the face of a large number of heavy weapons brought by the garrison, several county towns with empty troops were not opponents at all.

Just when everyone thought that this great counteroffensive was coming to an end, the county town and strongholds more than 100 kilometers away from Baoding also began to be attacked.

If the Eighth Route Army active here had divine help, they would not even be equipped with rifles in normal times, but they would have heavy machine guns and mortars, and there were quite a few of them.

The powerful firepower easily caught the Japanese army by surprise, and many county towns were captured and became the pockets of the Eighth Route Army.

Even if the county seat was not captured, the Japanese troops inside were beaten into turtles with shrunken heads and did not dare to leave the city......

Five days later, Li Hao led the team back to Lingqiu, and the base was still as calm as ever.

When the garrison regiment attacked Baoding, the surrounding Japanese puppet army did have the idea of taking the opportunity to invade the garrison base area, and they were ready to move.

But the First World War of Baoding ended too quickly, and before the Japanese army could complete the assembly, Baoding was lost.

A mixed brigade is no match for the garrison regiment, they can gather the strength of a wing at most, rashly enter the garrison base area, and be surrounded by them, it is no different from taking the initiative to send them to death.

The Japanese army immediately dispelled the idea of attacking the base area and did not move......
