At this moment, in the garrison headquarters, which is less than two kilometers away from the battlefield, the commander, General Tada, has been pacing anxiously in the war room since the chief of staff took away the three infantry brigades, waiting for news from the chief of staff... However, just after he learned that Beiping City, the remaining three city gates, were all lost under the internal and external attacks of the Eighth Route Army. Senior General Tada, who was still confident in the chief of staff, immediately showed a worried look on his face.

Because, with the influx of a large number of Eighth Route Army into the city, in the face of the overstretched strength in the entire Beiping City, the three brigades led by the chief of staff are likely to fall into the heavy encirclement of the Eighth Route Army and become the first offensive target of the Eighth Route Army troops entering the city. Thinking of this, General Tada Jun had a kind of meat bun beating a dog in his heart, and there was no way back. At the same time, I also felt a burst of remorse and fear in my heart.

After all, the three brigades led by the chief of staff are half of all the forces in their own hands ... If these 3,000 troops were wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, then in their own hands, they would not have enough troops to entangle with the Eighth Route Army in the concession, and finally hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.

"Your Excellency Commander, it's not good, something has happened....The three brigades led by the Chief of Staff are surrounded by the heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army and are in danger of being annihilated at any time. Your Excellency, Commander, I suggest that you lead the headquarters and the remaining troops around you to immediately retreat into the concession area and continue to command the troops in the Provisional Command. Just when General Tada, who was anxious, was worried about this matter. A frightened voice reached his ears. An operational staff officer rushed into the war room with a panicked face, stood in front of him, and suggested loudly, his words full of anxiety..."Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army, is really a meat bun and a dog, there is no return... Now I order that the headquarters be transferred at once, and the 4th and 5th brigades, the gendarmerie brigade, and the tank detachment will immediately enter the fortifications of the concession and abandon all the fortifications around the headquarters. With the temporary headquarters in the embassy of the Great Imperial Empire as the center, with the fortifications in the concession, the final hold was made. General Tada's clenched fist slammed into the huge sand table beside him. Then, in front of a group of staff officers, he commanded loudly....

In less than ten minutes, the huge headquarters was carried out by a group of staff officers and guard troops. All important equipment and documents were moved into several trucks at the entrance of the headquarters, ready to retreat. Standing at the entrance of the headquarters, the commander, General Tada, took a deep look at the headquarters in front of him. Listen to the gunshots that are getting closer and closer to me. Immediately got into a small car, without looking back, and gave the order to retreat to the convoy around him..."Brigade Commander Li, after half an hour of fighting, the little devils in the encirclement, there are less than 500 people, and they are making a final stubborn resistance with the help of several strong compounds. With so many troops, all gathered here, it's too much of a waste of troops. In my opinion, the remaining little devils here, we only need to leave two regiments, as for the remaining troops, they should immediately launch an attack on the headquarters of the Yue Army...."Looking at the troops of nearly 10,000 people, all surrounding this small area, and the final decisive battle with the Yue Army, Luo Zhihui, the commander of the Second Brigade, said.

"Brigade Commander Luo, these little devils were originally there to deal with our guard brigade. In my opinion, all the remaining units of the Guards Brigade are left. As for the remaining regiments, you will personally lead them to penetrate into the headquarters of the army from different directions, and strive to annihilate the remaining devil soldiers in their headquarters..."After listening to Luo Zhihui's suggestion, Bruce Lee nodded.

"Okay, that's it. Brigade Commander Li, the rest of the little devils will be handed over to you....Communicator, notify all the troops of the column directly under you, assemble immediately, hand over the battlefield to the hands of the guard brigade, withdraw from the battle, and prepare to attack the headquarters of the army..."Luo Zhihui agreed happily. Turning around, to a correspondent behind him, he commanded loudly....

With the sound of a loud trumpet, most of the remaining forces of the Yue army, which were encircling and annihilating, immediately withdrew from the battle and disappeared from the battlefield. However, even if the strength of the four regiments of the directly subordinate column was quickly withdrawn from the battlefield, there were still nearly 3,000 soldiers of the guard brigade around the several compounds held by the little devils. Under the cover of a large number of mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns, and relying on the cover of the houses on both sides of the street, the red-eyed soldiers who had already been killed launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the little devils in the encirclement, constantly consuming the remaining living forces of the army in the encirclement.

"Comrades, follow me, destroy all the remaining little devils, kill..." As another five-minute-long artillery bombardment ended, I looked at the encirclement, which had been bombarded by many intensive shellings, and the army positions were in shambles. A commander of the guard brigade, waving the weapon in his hand, rushed out of the hiding position under the frenzied fire of more than a dozen antiaircraft machine guns. In less than two minutes, after paying minor casualties, one after another successfully rushed to the front of the Japanese army's position, and used grenades to blast several courtyard walls blocking them. Under the cover of thick gunsmoke, one after another, like a fish into the sea, quickly poured into several compounds from the breach... A shout of killing mixed with the sound of bayonets colliding sounded on the battlefield, and the whole battle slowly stopped. The three infantry brigades personally led by the chief of staff of the army headquarters after several hours of fierce fighting. In the end, under the attack of the soldiers who were not afraid of death, the whole army was destroyed. Even the chief of staff of the major general himself, who fell under the bayonet of one of the fighters ... became the first little devil general to die under the bayonets of the soldiers since the Anti-Japanese War....

In half an hour, the four main regiments and thousands of soldiers who launched an attack on the headquarters of the army from four directions at the same time defeated and eliminated the scattered troops left behind by the commander, General Tada, around the headquarters of the army. Finally rushed into the North China Garrison Headquarters, which symbolized the supreme rule of the entire North China Army. Similarly, Luo Zhihui, the brigade commander who was supervising the battle in the rear, immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Chinese army with his guard troops after receiving the news that the headquarters of the army had been occupied.

However, as soon as he rushed to the entrance of the army headquarters, he bumped into Xu Ying, the commander of the fourth regiment, who walked out of the headquarters with an unhappy face... Seeing the brigade commander Luo Zhihui he bumped into, Xu Ying seemed to have found an object to vent his feelings and dissatisfaction, and immediately complained to the brigade commander Luo Zhihui who didn't know why.

"Brigadier Commander, the little devil is too uninteresting. We had just rushed to their headquarters and all ran away. The entire headquarters is now empty, and all the equipment has been moved, and the little devil commander Tada Jun probably knows that his headquarters can't be saved, so he has already retreated..."

"What, you said the little devil headquarters was empty. How is it possible, the huge city of Beiping has almost been occupied by us. Where can the little devil headquarters and the thousands of troops around them hide? Commander Xu, have you looked for it and seen if there is any basement in the headquarters..."Luo Zhihui, who reacted from the shock, asked in disbelief.

"Brigade commander, even if there is a basement in the headquarters of the little devils, it is impossible to hide thousands of little devils. However, Brigade Commander, we did find a basement inside the headquarters. However, in the basement, nothing was found except for a small amount of weapons and ammunition and a two-step radio station. If nothing else, the little devil commander, General Tada, and the remaining thousands of devil soldiers must have hidden in Beiping City, an area that we have not yet occupied or searched? Xu Ying said with certainty.

"It must be so, there must be some place in Beiping City, where the troops did not search. Let me think about it...."Luo Zhihui nodded thoughtfully, and slowly fell into contemplation..."Yes, it is the embassy area, and the little devil must be in the concession." In the concession area of the city, because there were embassies of various countries, troops from various countries, and a large number of civilians, we did not attack or search in order to prevent international disputes from arising in the course of the fighting. The little devils must have their own embassy area in the concession, and their commander, Tada Jun, must have run to his own embassy, relying on us not daring to attack the concession, continue to hold on, and command the little devils in North China to fight..."Luo Zhihui suddenly woke up.

"Damn, the little devil is so cunning that he actually hid in the embassy area. However, the brigade commander, the little devils are full of calculations, and there are only three thousand left, as well as their general commander. We worked hard and paid such a big casualty to occupy the entire Beiping City, is it just cheap to have the remaining little devils... I think, no matter what the embassy area is, the little devils can send troops, and we can also send troops... After all, the concession is still on our Chinese soil..."Xu Ying said unconvinced.

"Captain Xu, don't be reckless. If this matter is not handled well, it will give rise to international disputes. When the time comes, not only you and I can't afford it, but even the commander can't afford it... Order the fourth regiment and the seventh regiment to disperse immediately and eliminate the remaining little devils in the city, and the eighth and ninth regiments will immediately rush to the concession area and surround the entire embassy area, and must ensure that no little devil can be let out....I will go out of the city immediately and report this matter to the commander in person, the four of you, in the next time, if there is any situation, report to me or the commander immediately through the radio..."Luo Zhihui shook his head, and ordered the four regiment commanders who gathered over..."Yes, brigade commander, Guarantee the completion of the mission, and surround the little devils in the embassy area..."The four regiment commanders replied at the same time. Immediately, the entire army headquarters, except for one company of soldiers, remained behind. The remaining troops immediately dispersed in companies and began to search for the remnants of the army throughout Beiping City. At the same time, the forces of the two main regiments quickly marched towards the concession, preparing to encircle the entire embassy area.

"Commander, Brigade Commander Luo is back, he is at the entrance of the headquarters department, and he has an urgent matter to see you..." Ten minutes later, Commander Liu Hua was in the temporary command center, listening to the constant sound of gunfire coming from Beiping City. Pacing back and forth, anxiously waiting. The guard guarding the gate reported loudly..."Lao Luo is out of the city, come in, so anxious to come from the city, give up commanding the troops to come over, is there something wrong?" Also, what is the situation in the city now, and are the casualties of the troops large? Seeing Luo Zhihui, who walked into the headquarters out of breath, Liu Hua, who looked anxious, hurriedly asked..."Commander, there is no major problem in the city, the entire Beiping City, except for the concession, the rest of the place has been occupied by us. As for the few regiments that entered the city, they were searching for the remnants of the little devils in the city, and the battle should be over soon. However, there is still a problem, although we occupied the headquarters of the army, but we did not catch the commander Tada Jun, and nearly 3,000 little devils, and let him run away? Luo Zhihui said..."Tada Jun ran away, how could it be, although most of the troops have now rushed into Beiping City. However, there were troops left behind at several city gates, and I did not hear any reports of troops breaking through the siege. Brigade Commander Luo, what happened, how could the little devil run away? Liu Hua didn't want to end up with any regrets in a battle he personally commanded. After hearing the news that Tada Jun, an old devil, had run away under his nose, he couldn't help but be shocked, and asked in disbelief, wanting to know the detailed situation..."No, Commander, you misunderstood. Tada Jun and the remaining more than 3,000 devil soldiers are still in Beiping City. However, they all hid in the concession and entered their embassy district. Because there are a large number of embassies and troops from various countries stationed in the concession, in order not to cause necessary trouble, we cannot launch an attack at all..."Luo Zhihui quickly explained....

"Brigade Commander Luo, can you be sure that the remaining three thousand little devils have all fled into the concession and entered their embassy area?" Listening to Luo Zhihui's words, Liu Hua couldn't believe his ears for a while. After all, in the eyes of these high-ranking officers of the army, retreat is a very shameful thing. He couldn't believe that Tada, the commander, could give up his military honor and take the rest of the troops to hide in his embassy, hoping to be sheltered in the concession area.

"I can confirm that on the way out of the city, I have been debriefed by the troops. The entire concession area has been almost completely occupied by the Japanese army, and their patrols can be seen everywhere. In addition, on the streets of the concession area, you can see a large number of street fighting fortifications built by the Japanese army. As for the armies of the other countries in the concession, they have all retracted their embassies..."Luo Zhihui affirmed.

"Damn, this old devil is really cunning enough, after failing once in our hands, he has improved so much, we still underestimate him. He must have known that we would not dare to attack the concession casually and cause unnecessary international disputes, so it would be a bastard to take so many foreigners and use them as a shield. If I catch this Tada Jun, I must slaughter him with my own hands..."After receiving an affirmative answer, Liu Hua clenched his fists and scolded hatefully.

"Commander, now that the little devils are all hiding in the concession, are we really just letting them go... This is the North China Garrison Headquarters of the Army, if we give the headquarters of the little devil to the pot, it will definitely cause a huge shock to the entire North China Garrison of the little devil, and even make their army disheartened. Perhaps, our Eighth Route Army, because of the death of Tada Jun, will once again usher in a new major counteroffensive..."Luo Zhihui said with a look of regret in his eyes.

"Hehe, Lao Luo, you see that our reading division is fighting, when did we give up halfway. Attacking the concession, annihilating the little devil headquarters, and capturing Tadajun, an old devil, is our ultimate goal in this battle. However, for this special place of the concession, we must not be reckless, after all, a large number of foreigners are stationed ... So, first of all, in the process of attacking, we can't use artillery heavy weapons..."Liu Hua said with certainty..."Can't use artillery... However, commander, if we do not have the support of artillery, we will undoubtedly charge with the lives of our soldiers in the overcharge of the attack. If this were the case, the casualties of the soldiers would have been very heavy. Three thousand little devils, according to the normal casualty ratio of the enemy and us in the street battle, we have to pay at least 3,000 casualties to defeat the army headquarters..."Luo Zhihui said with a shocked face... Liu Hua did not answer Luo Zhihui's words, but quietly fell into thought, hoping to come up with a perfect solution... Finally, when Liu Hua thought that the purpose of the army hiding in the embassy area was to use these foreigners as a shield for himself. A vicious method suddenly came to mind. Immediately, an idea quickly appeared in his mind. The corners of Liu Hua's mouth also showed a sneer at the same time.

Thinking of the feasible surname of this method in his mind, Liu Hua immediately raised his head, his eyes showed a hint of sharpness, and then he looked at Luo Zhihui, who was standing in front of him, waiting for an order, and asked: "Brigade Commander Luo, in the process of attacking, did you find any expatriates in Beiping City..."
