Matsui Shigen did not order to continue to clean up the green gauze tents on both sides, he wanted to attack the city directly.

No one has an opinion on this, as long as they capture Baoding, or attack or defend, they will have a lot of room to choose, and there will be enough reasons to drag this period of time, and after the green gauze tent is useless, it is not too late to decide how to fight this battle.

For the capture of Baoding, almost no one takes it as a matter, and with their current artillery fire, it is no problem to blow up Baoding a few times.

These generals are soldiers, simple soldiers, it is difficult to think about the problem from other angles, for them there is only the problem of insufficient ammunition, and not from the point of view of the country's economy.

Matsui Ishine is different from them, Matsui Ishine sees the problem much farther and deeper.

In the battle of Baoding, in addition to economic problems, Matsui Shigen also had a premonition that it would never be easy, but as for how it was not easy, he couldn't think of it, so the extremely bad feeling of having no bottom in his heart was even stronger.

Before the siege, Matsui Shigen encountered another difficult problem: how to attack?

The reconnaissance plane has found out that the people in Baoding City have been evacuated, and if there are still people in Baoding City, it must be the Black God Army.

During the day, there were very few people in the city of Baoding, at least, this was the result of reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance.

Matsui Shigen's problem is that he doesn't know what the Black God Army is planning, if the Black God Army doesn't want to defend Baoding at all, how many shells will it cost to blow up Baoding?

If Baoding is not blown up and the city is attacked with infantry, Matsui Shigen has no doubt that the Black God Army will definitely fight this battle in the mode of Shanhaiguan.

Gu Shoufu's Sixth Division was folded at Shanhaiguan, and although the battle was fought by the 29th Army, there is no doubt that the black hand behind must be the Black God Army.

Now, he is directly facing the Black God Army, and there is no doubt that this battle will not be dull.

Thinking about it, Matsui Ishine couldn't think of a countermeasure.

Because it is impossible to besiege the city, even, even if Baoding is encircled, it is useless, it is not possible for Baoding City to communicate with the outside of the tunnel, but it is certain.

Enclose the whole of Baoding and pick a trench, how deep does this trench have to be dug, five meters, ten meters, or twenty meters?

This is also an important factor why Matsui Shigen does not continue to clean up the green yarn tents on both sides.

Therefore, the soldiers in Baoding City, the Black God Army can increase or decrease anytime and anywhere: if the artillery fire is strong, there may be no one in the city, and once the shelling stops, the Black God Army will hula and pour out.

Matsui Shigen, the old devil, wanted to die for a whole day and a night, and finally, it was decided: Explode!

This time, it is not only necessary to blow it up, but also to blow it up.

To blow up Baoding, artillery is enough, but to blow it up, you have to mobilize heavy bombers and drop aerial bombs.

――――― Bohai Bay, there is a temporary combined fleet.

The Bohai Sea is under the jurisdiction of the Third Fleet, and now, the fleet floating in the Bohai Bay is a special combat force under the Third Fleet.

The reason why it is special is that this fleet stays in the Bohai Bay with only one mission, which is to serve as an aircraft platform.

Because of the evil Black God Army, the empire had to transfer all six aircraft carriers, the Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Feihe, Fengxiang, and Chitose, to the Bohai Bay.

Although aircraft carriers are auxiliary ships, there is no air supremacy without aircraft carriers, which is extremely dangerous for the fleet, but fortunately, the empire now has no enemy with strong naval forces.

The Black God Army is so hateful!

In order to guard against the attack of the Black God Army Air Force, Cangzhou and Baoding, especially Cangzhou, must maintain at least 100 aircraft formations in the air at all times during the day for combat readiness duty.

The planes of the Black God Army may be hiding somewhere in Baoding, and as long as there is the slightest negligence, Cangzhou may be bombed.

Cangzhou has 200,000 troops of supplies and ammunition stored, although in order to prevent the destruction of the Black God Army, the supplies, especially the ammunition, are scattered and hidden, but this can't let the Black God Army bomb ah.

Therefore, do not dare to relax in the slightest.

This is really torturous, not to mention anything else, the consumption of oil alone can make people hurt to death, and it is because of the oil that this naval special combat team was formed.

The stakes were so high that Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the Third Fleet, was personally in charge.

With his eyes like an eagle, standing on the side of the flagship Izumo, Hasegawa Kiyoshi watched the planes take off one after another, praying in his heart that he would finish the matter quickly, and quickly wipe out the Black God Army, or else, it would be so uncomfortable.

-- In the endless green gauze tent, there are 18 anti-aircraft artillery positions, and 18 88-millimeter anti-aircraft cannons are dormant like devouring demon beasts.

Weapons are used by people.

Han Lihong ate this sentence extremely thoroughly, in his hands, these 88mm anti-aircraft guns really became poisonous dragons that demanded their lives.

Anti-aircraft artillery air defense originally relied on the density of fire, but they obviously did not have this condition, they did not have so many anti-aircraft guns, let alone so many shells, so they relied on the accuracy of shooting.

However, a cannon is not a gun after all, and for this reason, Han Lihong also understood another sentence: the wisdom of the people is infinite.

After Han Lihong gave the task, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment from top to bottom, one by one, was demonic, and they were thinking about how to use anti-aircraft artillery to hit planes all the time.

After continuous exploration and summary, in the end, the people with infinite wisdom invented the death triangle shooting technique.

The so-called death triangle shooting technique is to use three antiaircraft guns as a combat unit and lock on one aircraft at the same time to form a fire triangle.

There are two key points in this tactic, one is the command, that is, the communication between the gunners, and the other is that the cooperation between them must be extremely tacit.

In fact, even without this death triangle shooter, each individual anti-aircraft gun is extremely dangerous to the aircraft, because every anti-aircraft gunner is a real sharpshooter.

In addition to striking stationary and moving targets on the ground, they also trained with anti-aircraft guns and kites.

Every qualified gunner must pass these three levels.

In the green gauze tent ten miles northeast of Baoding, there is an anti-aircraft artillery position hidden here.

Each anti-aircraft artillery position had only one anti-aircraft gun, and the three anti-aircraft guns of one combat unit were seven or eight hundred meters apart.

The anti-aircraft artillery position was recessed into the ground, the muzzle of the gun was slightly lower than that of the green gauze tent, and it was so well camouflaged that it was difficult for the aircraft to find it at high altitude.

The position was built of reinforced concrete, with a certain slope, and everything that did not hinder the firing of the anti-aircraft artillery was covered with sufficiently thick reinforced concrete, so as long as it was not blown up, the anti-aircraft artillery position generally did not cause any damage.

This is the head artillery position of the 5th anti-aircraft artillery group, and the anti-aircraft gunner Gao Dazhi is the leader of the 5th anti-aircraft artillery group.

Sitting on the gun mount, Gao Dazhi is simply cool, his scalp is blue and shiny, he has a headset on his left ear, and a miniature microphone on his chin.

The little devil's plane is finally here, no, the little devil's plane has been here a long time ago, and now, it is he who can finally hit the little devil's plane.

The singers were on stage for three minutes, and they talked for ten years off the stage, and they were not far behind, and today, they were finally allowed to go on stage.

Gao Dazhi's palms were sweaty.

Staring at the devil plane that was getting closer and closer, Gao Dazhi gently swirled the muzzle of the cannon and said, "Eighth percentile." ”

"Roger, lock on!"

"Roger, lock on!"

As soon as Gao Dazhi's words came out, in less than five seconds, he received a reply from his two team members, Li Hai and Liu Daniu.

In the antiaircraft artillery regiment, not only is there a tacit understanding between the members of each group, but also between the groups, and there is also an extremely tacit understanding.

Now, the triangle of death has been demarcated, just waiting for Gao Dazhi to give the order to open fire.

At this moment, it is strange to say, Gao Dazhi is not excited at all, the sweat in his palms is gone at some point, he is as calm as an iceberg.

It was getting closer and closer, and after the devil plane dropped the first bombs, Gao Dazhi said coldly: "Prepare." ”

"Ready."

"Ready."

Lehi and Li Daniu replied immediately.

"Hit!"

The rate of fire of the 88-mm anti-aircraft gun was fifteen to twenty rounds per minute, and at this moment, more than a dozen shells formed a wonderful arc in the sky.

The plane exploded directly in the air, and the shells concentrated the fuel tanks.

In the green gauze tent, the cheers are remembered in many places.

Guild wars!

――――It's like taking a mouthful of Chinese medicine and not swallowing it for eight days, the bitterness in Matsui Shigen's mouth!

In the battle of Baoding to defend the city, the Black God Army was no exception, and they played tricks again, which also made Matsui Shigen stunned as usual, and he didn't expect it beforehand.

It's just that the tricks played by the Black God Army this time, the stage was provided by Matsui Shigen to the Black God Army, so this old devil is like an unjust seed, full of bitterness.

The stage provided by Matsui Ishine for the Black God Army was Baoding City, which was blown up and collapsed.

It can be said that it is impossible to find a standing roof, but it is such a place full of ruins and broken walls that has become another nightmare for him.

Between the ruins and the rubble, there seemed to be snipers of the Black God Army hidden everywhere, they were elusive and unguardable, and they beat me nervously.

Now, practice has proved that it is ten times more difficult to capture Baoding, which is in ruins, than Baoding, which is intact.

He said that his situation at this time can be described in four words, that is, "no decline", and the cause of this predicament is those ruins and wood rubble.

If Baoding is not blown up like this, as long as I am willing to invest, I still have the possibility of basically clearing out the Black God Army and occupying Baoding, but now, as long as the Black God Army does not give up, there is no such possibility.

Defending a Baoding city and guarding a pile of ruins and broken walls, those are definitely two very different concepts, the ruins and broken walls have become the best cover for the Black God Army, especially at night, and it is definitely the world of the Black God Army, basically nothing is wrong with me.

As a result, Matsui Ishone was in an extremely embarrassing situation.

-- In Ranzhuang, in the command hall hidden deep underground, the premier, Mr. Zhu, Deng Gong, Fu Zuoyi, Han Lihong, Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong, and Wan Fulin were all there.

This game of chess is too big, so the prime minister and Mr. Zhu also began to reside in Ranzhuang.

Everyone is relaxed, and today, the original idea has been fully verified, proving that the effect is rattling.

The cornerstone of Han Lihong's idea is to fully mobilize the people, and to fully mobilize the people, the cornerstone is to reduce rent and interest, and even divide land.

Although Song Zheyuan, Zhang Zizhong and others agreed to this, they inevitably had some other ideas in their hearts, but now, they have no other ideas in their hearts, and if they are in charge of the party in the future, they will do the same.

In the center of the command hall are three huge sand tables, which show the battle situation in the whole of North China.

Everyone gathered in front of the sand table in the middle, listening to a staff officer explain the current situation.

This sand table is about the battle situation in Baoding.

In a word, now, the 50,000 Eighth Route Army commanded by Mr. Zhu himself, the 50,000 Jin Sui Army commanded by Fu Zuoyi, the 30,000 Northwest Army commanded by Zhang Zizhong, and the 20,000 Northeast Army commanded by Wan Fulin have all secretly moved to the designated position in Baoding, and can launch a battle of interception, encirclement and annihilation against the Songjing Shigen Army at any time.

After the staff officer introduced the overall military deployment, everyone returned to the big round table and sat down, Han Lihong said, "Everyone, if you have any other ideas, I will talk about it today." ”

After a moment of silence, Fu Zuoyi said: "Mr. Han, Fu is not talented, let me talk about it first." ”

The relationship with Fu Zuoyi was separated by a layer, Han Lihong owed slightly, and said, "General Fu, please speak." ”

After a pause, Fu Zuoyi said: "Mr. Han, I don't know how to fight this battle?" ”

These days, the army has suffered more than 50,000 casualties, but there are still 150,000, and their total strength does not exceed 250,000 at most. Now, Matsui Ishone has realized his situation, and it is impossible to attack as much as before, so the casualties in the future will be much smaller, and the impact will be negligible. And this also means that if the troops are not transferred, the strength of the decisive battle will be 250,000 for them and 150,000 for the army.

Their 250,000 encircled and annihilated 150,000 Japanese troops, and even if they win, they would be a crushing victory, and it was more likely that the jade was burned.

Looking at it now, Han Lihong had no intention of continuing to draw troops from other places, and with the past style of the Black God Army, it was unlikely that he would fight this kind of jade battle, so Fu Zuoyi asked this question.

Smiling, Han Lihong said, "General Fu, I want to fight this battle like this......

After Han Lihong finished speaking, Fu Zuoyi, Wan Fulin and other people who didn't know the inside story all opened their mouths wide, although they all hated themselves, but as soldiers, they inevitably felt a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox: the little devil is too pitiful.

Don't even think about running away from any of these 150,000 devils, after thinking for a moment, Fu Zuoyi asked again: "Mr. Han has a far-sighted strategy, and the 100,000 troops in Shandong must have been arranged." ”

Han Lihong said: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu has ordered the Eighth Route Army in Shandong to cut off the way for the army to withdraw to Qingdao. ”

On the side, Mr. Zhu said: "Yes, the army wants to escape from the sea, and the surname may be very small." ”

Then, everyone began to discuss the specific battle plan.

This plan has been discussed many times, and now it will be discussed again, firstly, to let Fu Zuoyi, Wan Fulin and others have an in-depth and detailed understanding of the entire plan, and at the same time, it is also the process of improving the entire plan again.

After the meeting, Fu Zuoyi returned to his residence, prepared to rest, and then went to the banquet.

Fu Zuoyi likes to think, his head can't be idle, he sits on the chair, closes his eyes and ponders, thinking about himself, thinking about Matsui Shigen.

People really can't be too arrogant, and arrogance to a certain extent will affect the judgment of the surname.

The section of Guan Linzheng's 52nd Army that was in charge of defense was attacked from both sides, but the position was still impregnable, which should have attracted the attention of the Yue Army, but no, at least he did not see this in Matsui Shigen.

When the battle comes to this, as long as there is still some reason, you should know that the defeat of the book is decided, and it would be stupid to still think about the north-south attack, but looking at it like this, the book has not given up this plan.

If he had seen this, he would have known that this battle could no longer be fought, and what Matsui Shigen should do now was to return to Shandong immediately, and then escape by sea via Qingdao.

This is the only way to survive.

Suddenly, Fu Zuoyi's brows furrowed slightly, he felt that there was something very important, but he couldn't remember what it was.

Fu Zuoyi pondered for a while, and suddenly, his body was shocked, and he knew what this very important thing was, it was the 100,000 troops in Shandong.

――――Matsui Ishine's mouth was full of bubbles.

In the past few days, he finally realized the danger, and realized that he might have stepped into the trap dug for him by the Black God Army step by step and unconsciously.

He was not unaware of the situation in which the Chinese army blocked the retreat of the 5th and 109th Divisions, but he never imagined that he might one day find himself in the same predicament.

Even with the advantage of green gauze tents and trenches, in order to trap the Fifth Division and the 109th Division, in Matsui Ishone's view, the Shina army would have to mobilize at least three or four hundred thousand men to form the current situation.

Shanxi is the top priority of China, and it is inevitable to send heavy troops to defend it, even if the Black God Army wants to take risks, Yan Xishan and the Central Army will not be able to agree.

There was no doubt about this, and if the Chinese army stationed in Shanxi had a troop movement of this magnitude, their agents in Shanxi would have found out.

Moreover, trapping 50,000 men and trapping 200,000, ah, no, now there are only 150,000 left, that is a completely different concept, and the number of troops required is not the same.

What's more, it was already late August, and even if they were trapped, there would be no problem holding out for two months, and once the green gauze tent was gone, the Chinese would have to at least double the number of troops needed to continue to besiege them.

However, in the past few days, Matsui Ishine's heart has been disturbed, and the Black God Army has given him too many surprises, and he found that this series of actions of the Black God Army seems to hide a deep plan.

What made Matsui Shigen frightened was Baoding after it became a ruin, he didn't think that the Black God Army would foresee the current situation in Baoding, but in an instant, he began to wonder if all this was expected by the Black God Army.

Along with the thought of doubt, Matsui Ishone involuntarily became more and more convinced that it must be so. Then, following this thought, the idea that the Black God Army was going to destroy them grew inexorably.

Thinking of this, Matsui suddenly realized how dangerous his situation was.
