When the first rays of morning light pierced through the darkness and projected onto the earth, a bloody night of guns and cannons finally passed outside Baoding, and the all-night battle not only made people tired, but also made the fortifications red with blood.

A wing of the Yue Army, regardless of casualties, launched an all-night attack on the central [***] team, and they did not choose a full-scale attack, but constantly tore open a few holes, and then groups of devils rushed up, trying to rely on the superiority in numbers, with the help of the night, to completely open the Chinese position.

However, the well-trained 1st and 3rd regiments did not let the conspiracy of this army wing succeed, although the darkness of the night greatly increased the difficulty of defense, but it also made it easy for the attacking army to lose support, once the rear road was cut off by the reinforcements of the [***] team, then, how much to come up to the position, how much to be knocked down.

The most important thing is that they thought that there was only one regiment Chinese opposite!! And the defenders were less than a regiment.

Dawn finally came, and Wang Jun and Dai Anlan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, old Dai."

Wang Jun awkwardly reached into his right pocket with his left hand and took out a cigarette, and threw one to Dai Anlan. In last night's battle, his right hand was fought too hard with a bayonet, and when he got out of the line of fire, he found that his entire right hand was almost dislocated. The high-strength triangular thorn made of alloy steel with carburizing and quenching treatment on the surface has also shown two notches.

Dai Anlan took out his sun brand lighter, the domestic version of the foreign trade zippo lighter, lit it with a bang, and lit a cigarette for Wang Jun. Last night, he didn't participate in the firing line stabbing, Wang Jun insisted on not letting him go, saying that when he was in the military academy, he was stronger than him, and the battle situation at night was more complicated, and one person was needed to be in charge of the commander-in-chief, and in this regard, he thought that Dai Anlan was stronger than him.

"Lao Wang, your bayonet kung fu is good, you have fought to seven or eight, and you are unharmed. You said that if our southwest army were like you, this battle would be easy to fight. Dai Anlan pushed him on the shoulder and teased.

"How can I be as powerful as you say, it's not that the guards are afraid that something will happen to me, and they follow all the way with pistols and submachine guns. However, the killing is very refreshing...... "Wang Jun spit out a smoke ring comfortably, last night's fight was indeed very enjoyable, but if it wasn't for the guards to follow, he would definitely hang the color." "However, compared to the devils, the soldiers of our main divisions are not all bad seeds, and in the face of the main division of this kind of devils, we can still have the upper hand, and we can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the commander-in-chief."

"Both sides are professional armies, our training methods are more advanced and scientific, the physical fitness of the soldiers is higher, the design of the bayonet is stronger than that of the Yue army, and even the stabbing technology is also focused on the training with reference to the stabbing style of the Yue army. Victory is a matter of course. ”

Of course, not to mention anything else, this kind of triangular military thorn is Zhang Shusheng learned from the original history of the five or six rifles, this kind of triangular military thorn, known as the world's most poisonous three-sided military thorn, because there is a special process when processing, resulting in it contains a metal substance that is very harmful to manpower.

On the battlefield where the smoke of gunfire had not yet dissipated, the army had already retreated, except for the soldiers on duty, everyone else was resting in the trenches on the spot, and all night, except for the two battalions in the general reserve behind them, these battalions had already taken turns to fight, and they were extremely tired.

Although the vanguard wing of the army did not carry many heavy weapons such as grenadiers and infantry guns of higher caliber mortars, the main forces of the subsequent divisions and regiments must have carried them. And there was no anti-artillery hole, so the soldiers had to rest against the wall of the trench or lie directly in the trench.

Dai Anlan looked at the vigilant soldiers, and couldn't help nodding slightly, dawn is the time when a person's vigilance is the weakest, and these well-trained veterans are looking at the front of the position vigilantly through the cat's eye hole. Look at those sleeping soldiers, after a night of fierce fighting, even if they have strong physical fitness, they are sleepy, and they seize the time for the devil to retreat and sleep with clothes.

"Lao Wang, in front of the positions of No. 5, No. 7, No. 12, and No. 15, I think more broadsword mines should be laid. In these positions, the field of vision is relatively limited, and the terrain is also more conducive to the attacker. ”

"Well, I'll let me send more later, and I'll talk about it if it's not enough."

The two continued to discuss last night's battle, and the losses of the Southwestern Army's defensive forces were not significant, mainly due to the widespread use of high-efficiency flares, and the Ripper machine guns were enough to cover a large area of the enemy in a short illumination time. Secondly, the Yue army, which rushed into the trenches at night, was surrounded and suppressed by the three perverted combinations of bayonets + pistols + submachine guns. The most important thing is that the defending force did not take advantage of the attack of two companies in one company, but two battalions and one wing, and on the contrary, they left three or four hundred corpses and countless wounded.

It was already dawn, and the soldiers in charge of distributing breakfast were carrying iron and wooden buckets and baskets, and distributing breakfast one shift at a time. Some buckets actually contain relatively thin egg drop soup, and some buckets also contain steaming green vegetables and radish, all of which are freshly fried. In the basket are hot steamed buns.

"Captain Dai, Captain Wang, let's eat something."

Han Li was stabbed in the arm last night, but this person is also a tough guy, and after stopping the bleeding, he ran back to the line of fire except for the wound. At this time, he was holding something with one hand and handed it to Wang Jun and Dai Anlan. He didn't come here to pay his respects, this happened to be the section of the position he was responsible for.

"How can there be fresh vegetables here?"

The two of them each took a steamed bun, but they saw that there were still vegetables in the military lunch box, not radishes or pickles.

"Don't worry, commander, every soldier has it, yours is the same as everyone." Han Li smiled innocently, he didn't dare to engage in the inequality of officers and soldiers on his back, today's breakfast did have green vegetables, not pickles. "Last night's gunfire was fierce, the fathers and villagers in and outside the city brought a lot of things to the rear to comfort us, and the old Song who was in charge of logistics paid for it, which can be regarded as battlefield requisition."

"So that's the case, eat, eat more, kill more devils, don't let the villagers be disappointed in us people's army." Dai Anlan took the lead in nibbling on a large mouthful of steamed buns, picked up the lunch box with egg drop soup and drank a big sip, although these things were paid for, he still felt very fragrant. Because, for those people who are suffering, there is not much surplus food at home. Even if there were, they did not let go in case the army entered the city as food to escape the famine, but instead used it to support the people's army in the war. This is already a rarity.

The supply of the People's Army is still in Zhengding City ready to be loaded and headed north, I am afraid that it will not be delivered until noon, and the logistics supply of a regiment scheduled is of course not enough for two regiments.

While the troops in the trenches were eating, a group of student soldiers had already come up carrying munitions boxes loaded with broadsword mines, and these children also did not eat breakfast, but they did not want to waste time, and after simple training, one of them grabbed a steamed bun with one hand, and trotted to carry the mine to the front of the position, cooperating with the KPA soldiers to lay the mine.

And farther away, in the direction of the city gate, you can already see a large group of people coming towards this side, which are the people who have come to help dig trenches and holes.

For some reason, Dai Anlan's eyes were a little moist, he put down the lunch box that he had eaten up, looked at the direction of the battlefield, and said in a low voice, "Old Wang, we will definitely win this war!" ”

Near the railway line, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Beiping, there is a long invisible dragon of people winding towards the south, and this is exactly the Baoding combat unit that the Southwest Army set out overnight. After a night of rapid marching, the faces of the soldiers were thick with tiredness. From one o'clock in the morning to now, the Tianming troops have actually walked 30 kilometers, and even Ma Wenwu, commander of the Fourth Division, and Gao Feng, chief of staff of the Third Division, were a little surprised.

"The devil's agent activities are still very rampant, otherwise, we can also take the train south to Baoding."

Gao Feng rubbed his temples fiercely, the whole night, the troops only rested once, half an hour, and as the leading officer of the third division, he had to assist Ma Wenwu, the commander of the encirclement and annihilation force, in handling the marching matters, and constantly thinking about some contingency tactics after the encirclement and annihilation battle began, and the whole person did not rest at all.

"Some of them were done by the devil's agents, and some were done by Han Jian, what a group of national scum." Ma Wenwu didn't have much hatred for the devils who sabotaged the railway line, and he changed himself to be the commander of the army, and he would not sit back and wait for the [***] team to go south by train, and blowing up multiple sections was the best way. "More than a dozen places were attacked at the same time, and it was impossible to fix it in a few days."

This is also Chen Cheng's mistake, obviously arranged two divisions to be responsible for the railway garrison, but because he was too worried about the Beijing-Tianjin battlefield, he put his troops on the railway line very close to Beiping, resulting in a large section of the railway being easily destroyed by the army agents and Han annihilators.

"Let's eat, let the soldiers rest for ten minutes before leaving."

After Ma Wenwu gave the order, the herald quickly passed down the order, and the entire raiding force began to eat breakfast. What awaits them will be a rapid march that will not end until tomorrow.

Early morning on July 3, Kunming, southwest China.

"Shen Xing, won't you sleep for a while?"

He Ning was sleeping comfortably with Zhang Shusheng in his arms, but he felt that he was about to get up, so he also sat up.

"I can't sleep, you can sleep."

Zhang Shusheng woke up at six o'clock in the morning, although he was thousands of miles away, he was deeply worried about this encirclement and annihilation battle that was about to start. Whether the encirclement battle can start has a major relationship with whether the raiding troops can arrive at various positions on time, so not long after dawn, he couldn't sleep and turned over and got up.

Seeing that he was no longer asleep, He Ning comforted Lu Yunyan next to him, motioned for her to continue sleeping, and turned over and got out of bed by herself. As a confidential secretary, Lu Yunyan was busy until almost two o'clock last night.

After taking a coat and putting it on for his man, He Ning went to open the fast soybean milk machine at home, although there are no luxury goods at home, but there are a lot of such inconspicuous high-tech products, ready to cook some soy milk for men to drink.

"How's the situation going in the north?"

Zhang Shusheng walked straight to the phone in the room and dialed the phone in the combat duty room.
