Nakakurume obviously thought the same way, and he asked Yokoyama directly: "Your Excellency General, now that Baoding has been lost and our war materials have fallen into the hands of the enemy, what should we do next?" Make a decision! ”

Yokoyama's courage was short of breath, his upper abdomen continued to rise and fall, his face was blue and glared at Nakakurume, and he snorted coldly: "What other good way can I do for today?" Of course, it was to organize the troops, launch an attack immediately, and capture Dingzhou at any cost. ”

"General, what about Baoding? This place is about our retreat, we can't sit idly by, we must take it back! Nakakurume Road.

Yokoyama snorted coldly again: "Hmph, do you think the dragon tooth column that attacked Baoding will really hold on in Baoding?" Absolutely not, their target should only be the military supplies we have hoarded in Baoding City, once destroyed, they will definitely take the initiative to evacuate.

Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about retaking Baoding, and we should use the main forces to attack Dingzhou.

Therefore, immediately send a telegram to the 1st Infantry Wing, tell them to withdraw immediately, and leave the task of retaking Baoding to the Cavalry Wing. ”

After saying this, Yokoyama Yong said to Anda Twenty-three again: "Anda-kun, please immediately concentrate all the combat forces of your division and regiment, and together with the main force of our 1st Division, take turns to attack the Dingzhou defense line of the Dragon's Tooth Column, and strive to break through their defense line and capture Dingzhou before our military supplies are exhausted!" ”

Anda Twenty-three nodded that there was no problem, and said, "Chief Yokoyama, please don't forget to ask the North China Front Headquarters in Beiping for material reinforcements!" ”

Yokoyama nodded with a dark face and said, "Don't worry about this, I will." ”

…………

In Baoding City, the four quartermaster warehouses of the devils were ignited by the flames generated by the explosions after several explosions, and it didn't take long for all kinds of weapons and ammunition inside to be detonated.

The violent explosion completely submerged the four munitions warehouses, and the billowing smoke and scarlet fire rose into the sky, which was particularly dazzling.

After the soldiers of the 1st Guard Battalion completed this qiē, they spontaneously came to the south of Baoding City to complete the assembly, where Qiao Youhua had been waiting for them for a long time.

Seeing that the troops were assembled, Qiao Youhua waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!" ”

More than 1,000 soldiers took action one after another, followed Qiao Youhua to evacuate the smoke-billowing Baoding City, and soon disappeared into the dense forest sorghum fields in the southwest of the city.

…………

On the way to Dingzhou with Qiao Youhua leading the 1st Guard Battalion, at about 9 o'clock in the morning, Yokoyama Yong ordered the 1st Division to dispatch more than 3,000 Japanese field infantry, and with the cooperation and coordination of the Mongolian cavalry of the puppet army, launched the first large-scale attack on the defense line of the 1st Regiment of Longya.

On the eve of the offensive, the North China Front Command, at the request of Isamu Yokoyama, sent a group of fighters to reinforce it, and together with the artillery units directly under the 1st and 26th divisions, carried out a firepower covering attack on the field defensive positions of the 1st Longya Regiment.

Under the combined bombardment of the devil's ground-air firepower, the dust and smoke billowed from the position, and the flames were everywhere, and from a bird's-eye view, it seemed as if it had become a sea of fire.

Everywhere there was the light of fire and the choking smoke of gunpowder.

Explosions erupted one after another, like iron ploughshares, splashing pieces of dirt from the dragon's tooth positions one by one, and earth and stones flew sideways.

Scarface, located near the regimental headquarters near the city gate, was also bombed by devil bombers, which blew up the place with dirt and thick smoke.

Scarface slapped the falling dirt on his body, and scolded angrily: "This little Japan raised by a son of a bitch, actually sent bombers to bully grandfathers, communication soldiers, immediately call the air defense regiment, ask them to send anti-aircraft artillery support, and give the little devil's fighters some color and see!" Let them know that the sky above Dingzhou is not a place where they can come whenever they want. ”

A communications soldier immediately stepped forward, turned around and went to call the air defense regiment in the city.

As a matter of fact, the antiaircraft artillery unit of Ma Yunlong's air defense regiment had already discovered the invading devil fighters, and at this time they had quietly transported the antiaircraft guns to the area near the north gate, and were adjusting the firing angle, locking on the target, and waiting for the best opportunity to shoot.

Ma Yunlong received a call from the regiment and responded with a smile: "Please rest assured, your regiment commander, our air defense regiment is ready and will open fire immediately." ”

After speaking, Ma Yunlong hung up the phone and said to an artillery captain beside him: "Order all artillery, fire the cannon immediately, and beat the devil plane raised by the son of a bitch!" The anti-aircraft machine gun brigade immediately left the city, stationed in a regiment of defensive positions, and coordinated with anti-aircraft artillery to build an anti-aircraft fire network. ”

The commander of the artillery group was ordered to leave on the spot, and soon 28 88mm anti-aircraft guns distributed in the area of Beimen City opened fire one after another.

The shells exploded violently in the air, like a ball of brilliant fireworks, and only the devil pilot knew that it was a terrifying lethal weapon, especially for them as air targets.

Therefore, one by one, they were so frightened that they turned around and flew away from Dingzhou City, and at the same time did not hesitate to increase their flight altitude.

However, just as the devil plane was withdrawing and pulling up, there was anti-aircraft fire composed of MG34 general-purpose machine guns on the position below, and they opened fire one after another.

A large number of dense bullets rained down in a salvo into the air, and soon two Japanese medium bombers could not dodge and were hit one after another, and one was hit by a fuel tank and caught fire and exploded in a volley on the spot, turning into flames and debris in the sky.

One of them was destroyed on one of its wings, and it also ignited a fire, emitting billowing black smoke, making a terrible roar, and staggering into the distance, and finally crashed into a forest, raising a large amount of fire and smoke.

Hit by anti-aircraft fire, some fighters crashed, and other devil planes did not dare to stay any longer, and they all evacuated and returned to the country as quickly as possible.

The shelling of the devils lasted for more than half an hour, and nearly 100 artillery pieces of various calibers almost covered the positions of a regiment outside the north gate back and forth, as if plowing back and forth.

It finally stopped, and as soon as the sound of artillery stopped, more than 2,000 puppet cavalry and more than 3,000 devil field infantry, which had already been prepared, immediately launched an attack.

More than 2,000 dismounted puppet cavalry, in front and more than 3,000 Japanese infantry behind, formed a huge charging cluster, swarming towards the forward position of a regiment all over the mountains.

In the trenches of the mass of positions filled with smoke and dust, officers and men were constantly coming out of the bunkers, and regardless of the dirt and dust on their bodies, they entered their respective posts with their weapons, pulled the bolt, drew their bayonets, unscrewed the back cover of the grenade, and placed the grenade next to the firing position.

Coincidentally, they quickly prepared for the battle.
