The speed of the cavalry is too fast, it comes and goes.

He didn't fight with the reinforcements sent by the captain at all, and the troops retreated after beating the hall with lightning speed.

"Sir, the cavalry that attacked us has run away, do you want to pursue?" The squadron leader asked hesitantly.

The captain was holding back the anger in his stomach and had nowhere to vent, and when he heard his subordinates ask such a stupid question, he was so angry that he couldn't get angry, like a powder keg that suddenly exploded, and scolded without hesitation: "Are you a pig brain?" ”

"The cavalry has four legs, and we only have two, how can we chase?"

"If you think you can catch up with a four-legged cavalryman on two legs, go after it now."

The squadron leader hurriedly lowered his head: "Humble and thoughtful, please calm your anger!" ”

After speaking, he stood aside with his head down, letting the captain vent his anger on him, and didn't dare to say a word.

A few minutes later, another squadron leader ran over: "Sir, our losses have been counted. ”

"An infantry squad behind His Royal Highness was almost wiped out, more than half of the casualties of the Imperial Cooperative Army, plus the casualties of the attacking troops, we lost 245 people in the battle just now."

The captain finally regained his composure, clenched his fists, and analyzed with a calm face: "The cavalry that raided us must be in the same group as the Eighth Route Army defending the high ground, and while we were concentrating on attacking the high ground, they suddenly launched a surprise attack and caught us off guard. ”

"Let the troops continue the attack, take the high ground, and avenge the soldiers killed in battle."

"The rest of the troops that did not participate in the attack all defended their rear to prevent the troops from being attacked by cavalry again."

In this way, the back of the Japanese army was safe, but the firepower used to attack the high ground was weakened.

The two companies, which could only hold for an hour, managed to hold the Japanese two hours in front of the high ground before retreating, greatly slowing down their march.

In the reinforcements sent to Baoding by Yi County, Xiao Yuan walked beside Rowan in a puppet army company commander's uniform.

"Deputy Regiment Commander, there are less than thirty kilometers from Baoding here, we will definitely be able to enter the city before dark, we have limited time, why don't we start acting now and find a way to take over all the Imperial Alliance troops."

Rowan thought for a moment and replied: "The troops have already entered the Baoding boundary, and the regiment commander will definitely send troops to sneak attack us along the way to weaken the strength of the Japanese army in the reinforcements." ”

"We are fishing in troubled waters, first killing the commander and deputy commander of the second regiment, taking over the command of the second regiment, and then taking over the command of other troops."

Xiao Yuanxin comprehended: "Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, don't worry, I'll arrange it now, and ensure that I will quietly take the command of the two regiments."

"Boom...... Bang bang bang ......"

Less than five minutes later, an explosion mixed with gunfire came from the front of the line.

"Ah......h

Two screams sounded around Luo Yun together.

The two henchmen guards who followed closely beside the regiment commander clutched the muzzles of the guns that kept bleeding out of their chests, and fell to the ground with a scream.

Luo Yun reacted quickly, and immediately ordered: "Enemy attack...... Protecting the ...... of the regiment"

Before he finished speaking, Rowan was already lying on the ground with his head in his hands, looking very scared.

Xiao Yuan took a few commandos to take the opportunity to touch around the regiment commander.

"Horn ...... Dadada......"

The sneak attack continued, and the gunfire became more and more intense, and when the commander of the Second Garrison Regiment was still more than ten meters away, Xiao Yuan decisively stopped and took out the grenade that had been prepared long ago.

While the other puppet soldiers were focusing on the surrounding woods, he vigorously rolled the grenade to the regiment commander's side.

"Boom ......"

The explosion sounded behind Xiao Yuan, and the regiment commander who was lying on the ground was blown over on the spot, and fell to the ground on his back, his face was full of blood, and he knew that he was helpless at a glance.

"Tuanza has been blown up......" one of the guards shouted, his words filled with fear.

"The deputy head of the regiment is also injured!" Another exclamation rang out in the crowd.

The remaining officers of the regimental headquarters discussed with the soldiers, and at the same time focused their eyes on Rowan.

The regiment commander died, the deputy regiment commander was seriously injured, and the only person in the regiment who could make up his mind was the chief of staff, who became the backbone of everyone without dispute.

"Don't panic, everyone, our regimental headquarters must be targeted by the Eighth Route Army." Rowan seized the opportunity to take over the command of the Second Regiment and gave a very serious order.

"As soon as the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops retreat, I will report to Taijun and send someone to send the regimental seat and the deputy regiment commander back."

His own people lurking in the regiment headquarters immediately cooperated: "The regimental seat is dead, the deputy regiment commander is injured, and the chief of staff is the largest in the regiment, and we listen to the chief of staff." ”

"Yes, the chief of staff will do whatever we want!"

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the reinforcements sent by Yi County finally arrived in Baoding.

At the north gate of Baoding, looking at the embarrassed reinforcements, the brigade commander was not only not sad, but very relaxed.

"General, judging from the length of the ranks, the reinforcements from Yixian County have lost at least five hundred people, and they are mainly imperial troops." Report of the Deputy Chief of Staff.

The brigade commander replied: "If there are losses, it means that the reinforcements are indeed our own." ”

The deputy chief of staff immediately understood why the brigade commander had just ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance, and asked rhetorically with a face full of incredulity: "General, you are not worried that these reinforcements are pretending to be the Eighth Route Army, right?" ”

The brigade commander nodded: "This possibility is not ruled out." ”

"Our opponents are too cunning, they have eaten thousands of us silently, and no one dares to guarantee that they will not attack with reinforcements and use them as a breakthrough to capture Baoding."

"Put a hanging basket down first, let the commander of the imperial army lead the team go up to the city wall and report to me, you must be 100% sure that the reinforcements are your own before you can open the city gate and let them in."

Ten minutes later, the leader of the team was pulled up to the city by the hanging basket and strode to the brigade commander: "Good general, Fujino Nakasa, the captain of the Yi County garrison, was ordered to lead the team to reinforce Baoding, please give the general an order." ”

"Let's start with what happened to the reinforcements on the march." The brigade commander asked very seriously, and the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all.

"Hey!" Nakasa hurriedly reported.

Although the brigade commander is not his immediate superior, he is a general, several grades higher than himself, and he can decide his future with a few words. If you don't behave respectfully enough and annoy him, you will definitely suffer in the end.

"From the beginning of entering Baoding, the troops began to be attacked by the Eighth Route Army, losing a total of 268 imperial troops and 259 imperial troops."

"The Eighth Route Army that attacked us was like having eyes, specifically picking on the Imperial Army and the officers of the Imperial Allied Army."

"Originally, they wanted to use mines to slow down our march, so that we could not reach Baoding before dawn, but they didn't let them get their wish."

"The humble position is very clear: there is aircraft cover during the day, and the Eighth Route Army does not dare to surround Baoding. After dark, the temporarily withdrawn Eighth Route Army will re-encircle Baoding, and even if reinforcements arrive at the battlefield in time, they will have to pay a huge price to enter the city, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"In order to break the situation, the humble and decisive decision was to let the Imperial Allied Army go to the front of the team to open the way for the Imperial Army."

"The effect was very good, and the Imperial Association Army only suffered more than 100 casualties before forcing the Eighth Route Army to give up the use of mines, and then marched all the way to arrive here on time."
