"Tick tock... Immediately, the temporary headquarters where dozens of trumpeters had been assembled sounded a loud and inspiring trumpet... The inspiring sound of the trumpet, in the shortest possible time, overwhelmed the rumbling cannons and gunfires, and reached the ears of everyone on both sides of the enemy..."Comrades, rush, rush with me, kill all the little devils..."Under the reflection of the fireballs produced by the explosion of shells on the battlefield, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which were hidden 500 meters away, jumped up from their positions one after another, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and quickly inserted it, and it was in chaos at this moment. In the ranks of the army without any order, they are ready to divide and surround the army....

"Rush..."In the midst of the shouts of killing, facing this moment, the little devil who was still in chaos and had not yet reacted from the shock. A sharp sword out of the sheath, as if entering a no-man's land, quickly inserted into every corner of the battlefield one by one in front of the soldiers, a frightened little devil... Without any accident, all of them died under the dense rain of bullets fired by more than a dozen machine gunners who were responsible for opening the way at the front of the entire unit... Under the dense rain of bullets, all the soldiers who stood in front of the soldiers had almost no chance of survival, and all of them were beaten into a hornet's nest and turned into a soft corpse... The entire charging process, which lasted less than ten minutes, and the marching columns, which stretched for nearly a kilometer, were cut into several large and small sections by the commandos... By the time these small forces had just recovered from the chaos and were ready to counterattack under the command of their commanders. They were surprised that they had completely fallen into the heavy encirclement of the Eighth Route Army Guard Brigade..."Baga, we are in ambush. Quickly, immediately build a defensive position, be sure to block the attack of the Eighth Route Army, and prepare to hold on to it and wait for reinforcements... Signal troops, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, my reinforcements encountered a heavy ambush by the Eighth Route Army during the march, the troops were heavily damaged, and there is a danger of being completely annihilated at any time, please send reinforcements immediately..."Listening to the shouts and killing of the Eighth Route Army around me, I looked at the faintly, countless figures of the Eighth Route Army... The deputy wing commander gave the order to defend in horror, and then, to a messenger behind him, he ordered..."Hey, I'll send a telegram to the headquarters right away, asking for reinforcements..." However, just when the little devils caught in the encirclement, under the command of commanders at all levels, picked up a handful of sapper shovels and began to build simple fortifications. The surrounding warriors who were in charge of besieging them did not intend to give them time to prepare... Just after the remaining 2,000 little devils were divided and surrounded by the warriors... The artillery units and anti-aircraft machine-gun units responsible for providing fire support were immediately dispersed under the command of the brigade commander Bruce Lee, and they could not be distinguished, and the forefront of each encirclement was responsible for providing sufficient fire support to the various units..."The artillery immediately opened fire, and the anti-aircraft machine guns were responsible for covering. The end of the shelling is over, and the battle is over..."The political commissar of the second regiment looked at the mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns that had just been reinforced by him, and his face showed a trace of excitement. Then, in front of the commanders at all levels around him, he gave the order to attack.

As soon as the political commissar's words fell, more than a dozen mortars that had just been set up immediately fired one shell after another at the little devils in the encirclement... As for the dozen or so anti-aircraft machine guns that were erected, they also shot bullets the thickness of an arm into the dense formation of the Japanese army, setting off a rain of blood... The sound of cannons, gunfire, and the screams of soldiers immediately sounded in the encirclement... The little devil who just reacted from the shock and returned to order. Under the blow of such powerful and terrifying firepower, once again plunged into chaos... One by one, the soldiers dropped their sapper shovels and began to scurry around... However, no matter how fast these ghost soldiers run, they can't run faster than the speed of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets... Under the blow of the flying bullets, the bodies of these little devils were either directly cut off by the waist, or they were shot out of the blood holes with the thickness of the bowl... In a word, as long as the little devils who are touched by these bullets, without exception, there is only one result, that is, death on the spot....As for the Yue Jun who quickly lay on the ground, he held his head with both hands, begging the sky for raining cannonballs, not to fall to his side....

After the first round of artillery fire, the two thousand little devils who were divided and surrounded by commandos fell into chaos again... Almost every minute passes, there are dozens or even hundreds of devil soldiers, forever in a pool of blood, never to see tomorrow's sun... And the soldiers around the encirclement are gearing up, staring at the little devils in front of them without blinking, struggling in the artillery fire, making final preparations for the attack that will be held later... Finally, in everyone's expectation, the whole artillery fire, after holding out for ten minutes, finally stopped... At this moment, in the dark night, the entire encirclement is full of piles of bonfires ignited by the explosion of shells, illuminating the entire battlefield... As for the two thousand little devils, after the test of blood and fire just now, there is only about a third of the troops left, and they are still intact and stick to their combat positions... As for the rest of the army, they have either turned into corpses, or all kinds of wounded who have lost their combat effectiveness....

However, at this moment, there is no time for the soldiers to wait until the smoke clears and appreciate the specific situation in the encirclement after the artillery fire. Because, the loud trumpet of the charge, just when the last shell exploded, sounded on the battlefield..."Rush..."The soldiers who heard the trumpet of the charge, like tigers descending from the mountain, rushed towards the battlefield that had already been put on the ruins with their rifles already loaded with bayonets in their hands... Although, the only little devils left on the battlefield are still making the last resistance, constantly shooting bullets into the charging team... However, encouraged by the loud trumpet, no one retreated because of the counterattack of the Yue army... The fighters in front fell, and the fighters in the back made up ... Thousands of soldiers, one after the other, quickly rushed towards the predetermined target....Finally, the whole melee, once again lasted almost half an hour, just as dawn was about to come, and ended smoothly..."Brigade commander, after preliminary statistics, more than 3,500 little devils, together with the captain of the Dazuo Wing, were all wiped out by us, and none of them escaped the net... In addition, a mountain artillery brigade brought by the little devil, all the equipment and ammunition, was also completely captured by us. As for our losses, we took a general look at the two infantry regiments, with a total of about 600 casualties, of which about 300 were directly sacrificed... It can be said that our guard brigade has once again won an unprecedented victory..."Just when the brigade commander Bruce Lee, standing at the temporary headquarters and observing the messy battlefield one kilometer away, the chief of staff rushed into the headquarters with an excited face and reported..."Okay, good fight....Chief of Staff, I have seen through the telescope during the whole battle... Fortunately, the commander was asked for so many mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns. Otherwise, there are so many little devils, it is absolutely impossible for us to eat them all in an hour... Chief of Staff, immediately report to the commander of Ezhou. At the same time, ask the commander for instructions on the next operation..."Bruce Lee put down the telescope in his hand and replied with a smile on his face.

Ten minutes later, Commander Liu Hua's call back was in the hands of the chief of staff... Holding the telegram he had just received, the chief of staff looked excited, and once again came to Bruce Lee: "Brigade commander, the commander calls back... Ask the two, three, or two regiments of our guard brigade to assemble at once... Then, take the main force to attack Beiping, divert the attention of the North China Command of the Yue Army, and transfer their attention to the Beiping area, so as to provide sufficient space and time for our army to transfer a large number of weapons in Tianjin..."

"What, enter Beiping, divert the attention of the little devils... What else did the commander say? Hearing the content of the telegram, Bruce Lee couldn't help but have his eyes lit up, and continued to ask with excitement. You must know that the Beiping area is the supreme headquarters of the North China garrison of the Yue Army, and if your own troops can hit their headquarters, it will undoubtedly be the biggest insult to the Yue Army... At the same time, it has also invisibly increased the influence of its Eighth Route Army in China..."Brigade commander, the commander also said, let us pay attention to air defense in the process of marching, and strive to attract all the little devil's aviation units to the Beiping area. In addition, the Guards Brigade also had to use the limited strength of two regiments to give the army the false impression that we were going to attack Beiping..." As he spoke, the chief of staff had already handed the telegram in his hand to Bruce Lee's hand..."Well, the commander was really thoughtful..." After carefully reading the telegram in his hand, Bruce Lee couldn't help but applaud, and immediately began to issue specific combat orders: "Chief of Staff, immediately issue combat orders to all units." The divisions took all the captured heavy weapons and immediately carried out the transfer, and the air defense units paid attention to the air defense on the march ... Let's march to the Beiping area immediately, and give a big gift to the old devil Tada Jun who has just arrived in Beiping..."

"Yes, brigade commander, I'll immediately give the troops a combat order..."As the order was issued, the remaining more than 3,000 people of the two guard regiments, immediately carrying all the captured mountain artillery and light and heavy machine guns, quickly disappeared from the battlefield... At this moment, the sky was already bright, just when the last warrior, carrying a captured crooked handle and a large amount of ammunition, disappeared into the dense forest around the battlefield. A deafening roar slowly reached the ears of the soldiers from far and near.......

Just when the soldiers hidden in the woods, holding their heads high, looked into the sky through the gap between the trees, the bombing group of 12 planes had already flown to the battlefield from far and near... Facing puffs of smoke rising from the ground and a large field of soldiers' corpses... 12 planes, immediately began to hover at low altitudes, conduct reconnaissance ... Of course, there was only one result they had detected, that is, the reinforcements sent by the headquarters had been wiped out at this moment. As for the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which eliminated this force, after some search around, it was determined that they had fled the battlefield and lost their trace... Similarly, the little devil planes reinforcing Tianjin City and the port, facing a large number of black-pressed imperial expatriates on the port, and black-pressed expatriates on the city wall... In the end, the only option was to retreat... As for the military planes that reinforced Ezhou, they didn't have such good luck ... Just when the planes were preparing to launch low-altitude bombs and strafe at the Eighth Route Army, which had already occupied the city wall... Dozens of anti-aircraft guns hidden around the city fired shells almost at the same time. In the dense network of bombs, a large group of aviation planes, and finally successfully flew back to the airport, only five remained... At this moment, almost everyone in the Beiping Headquarters, including the commander Tada Jun himself, showed an anxious look on their faces. Almost everyone's eyes glanced at the telegraph room next to the war room from time to time, hoping to get the latest telegram from the front... After all, the situation in the city of Tianjin and the port is related to the future military career of most of these officers... Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a rush of footsteps reached everyone's ears. Immediately afterwards, a communications staff officer pushed open the door of the war room and rushed in with a panicked face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, reinforce the aviation of Tianjin City, on the way, a large number of corpses of imperial soldiers were found. It was confirmed that an infantry wing sent out by our army yesterday was attacked by the Eighth Route Army during the march. The ambush of the heavy army has been wiped out, and no one has been spared..."

"Nani, the reinforcements are all gone... How could it be, it was a whole infantry wing, more than 3,000 elite Imperial soldiers. And also carried a mountain artillery brigade ... Even with the strength of a division of the Kuomintang Central Army, it is impossible to completely annihilate it in such a short period of time, how is it possible? General Tada, with a pair of eyes wide, asked in disbelief, and looked at the chief of staff beside him, showing a trace of doubt....

"Your Excellency Commander, if nothing else, the person besieging my reinforcements must be the Reading Division of the Eighth Route Army... At the same time, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which attacked Ezhou and Tianjin, were also the reading divisions of the Eighth Route Army... And where their ultimate strategic goal is, I don't know very well..."The Chief of Staff thought quietly for a few seconds, and then replied with an affirmative face..."Nani, Reader... Baga, now that the entire North China region is in chaos, we have forgotten about the elite troops of the Reading Division. Bageya Road....Chief of Staff, Ezhou and Tianjin, there is no news yet? Hearing the Reading Division, a unit that he could never forget for almost the rest of his life, the face of the commander, Lieutenant General Tada, immediately showed a trace of gloom, and he asked anxiously to the chief of staff in front of him... Just as the chief of staff was about to speak, the door, which had been closed for less than five minutes, was pushed open again. Immediately, another communications staff officer rushed in with a panicked face: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the aviation reinforcements in Tianjin report that Tianjin City and Tianjin Port have been occupied by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Eighth Route Army has gathered a large number of bridges in the city to various strategic points, and our planes have no chance to drop bombs at all..."

"Nani, Tianjin City has fallen, how is it possible... Ahh Immediately, the whole face turned pale because of this shocking news... At the same time, in the entire war room, a group of combat staff officers, almost at the same time, gasped. For a while, no one paid attention to the commander General Okamura Ninji, who was standing in front of him, because he was shocked by the commander who had vomited blood..."Ah... Your Excellency, Commander, you must take care of your health....Our urgent need for delay now is to know whether Ezhou is still in our hands under the fierce attack of the Reading Division. As long as Ezhou is still in our hands, even if the Tianjin area is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, they will be the turtles in our urn. At the same time, a large number of strategic materials seized by them in the port of Tianjin could not be transferred..."In the end, it was the chief of staff who was the first to react. Looking at a mouthful of blood on the ground in front of Tada. The chief of staff couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly comforted..."Yo Xi, the chief of staff is right, as long as Ezhou is still in our hands, even if the Tianjin area is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, there will be no problem... Chief of Staff, immediately contact Ezhou to inquire about the current situation in Texas. Also, the aviation units that ordered the reinforcements in Tianjin to prepare for takeoff immediately....as soon as the first wave of planes reinforcing Ezhou returned, they would immediately take off for battle, and we would carry out continuous air support to Ezhou..."General Tada, who had woken up from shock by the words of the chief of staff, hurriedly gave an order..."Hi, Your Excellency Commander...."Facing Tadajun's eager gaze, the chief of staff hurriedly rushed out of the war room... However, in less than five minutes, the door to the war room was pushed open again. The chief of staff took a telegram and hurried in. Judging from his face, it didn't seem that what he brought was good news..."Chief of Staff, is it that Ezhou has been given by the Eighth Route Army..."Seeing the expression of the chief of staff in front of him, General Tada Jun immediately felt something. The whole person, too, seemed to be a lot older in an instant... Facing the chief of staff in front of him, holding on to the last bit of hope, he asked in a low voice....
