Hurried footsteps rang out in the hallway.

Seiji Kazuki and the others, whose nerves were already completely tense, immediately stood up and looked nervously in the direction of the gate.

didn't let them wait for long, only a dozen seconds later, a devil Shaozuo who made the sound of footsteps ran in out of breath, and as soon as he entered the door, he yelled at Xiangyue Qingji: "Your Excellency Commander, it's not good for Baoding, it's lost!" ”

"Lost?" Kiyoji Kazuki looked at this Nakasa in disbelief, and the word that popped out of his mouth hit his heart like a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

"How can it be lost? The defense of Baoding City can completely withstand the frontal attack of the People's Liberation Army for up to a month, and I just received a telegram from Yoshinori Kawashima, why is it lost now? The chief of staff seemed to be more excited than Kazuki Kiyoji, grabbed Nakasa's collar and yelled, "Where did the information come from?" How did it get lost? ”

The devil Zhongzuo's face was red, and his eyes widened and he shouted: "It's news from Xu Shui, and the defenders there cut off the message immediately after sending us a telegram, because the army of the People's Liberation Army has already marched there!" As for how Baoding was lost, no one knows."

The chief of staff pushed Zhong Zuo away and shouted: "Baga, how did the people of China enter Baoding?" How did they get into Baoding? ”

The news of the loss of Baoding hit the hearts of everyone present like a hammer, and everyone knows how serious the consequences of losing Baoding will be. The pattern of the entire Hebei will be rewritten, and the Central China Dispatch Army will face the danger of total annihilation.

Kiyoji Kazuki's mind was confused, and he sat down in his chair. His whole face turned pale and bloodless, as if he had become a living dead in an instant.

The news of the loss of Baoding came so unexpectedly that he remembered that Kawashima Yoshinori had sent him a telegram last night, saying that everything was fine.

How did it take just one day to lose the impregnable Baoding.

So where is Yoshinori Kawashima now? Where are the 50,000 Japanese troops in Baoding? Where is the PLA going again?

A series of questions slammed into the deepest part of Kiyoji Kazuki's mind like a raging storm. He had the urge to fall asleep after being exhausted, and the battle of wits and courage with the People's Liberation Army had exhausted him.

"Your Excellency the Commander, Your Excellency the Commander"

Kazuki Kiyoji woke up suddenly, raised his head, and found that his chief of staff and others had gathered around him and shouted, and he had just lost his mind.

"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the People's Liberation Army is attacking non-stop, has captured Xushui County, and is advancing in the direction of Dingxing County! They are here to attack the capital directly, Your Excellency Commander, you quickly give the battle order, we can't wait! The chief of staff shouted in a hurry.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are ready for battle. The Imperial Japanese Army can't sit back and wait to die here, we should draw our katana and fight to the death with the Shina people! The deputy commander yelled the same.

"Your Excellency Commander, give orders, we are willing to follow you into the battlefield together!"

A group of devils drooled and expressed their loyalty in front of Kiyoji Kazuki.

The noise made Kiyoji Kazuki calm down instantly, and his mind regained his consciousness again. He suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and if he delayed in the headquarters for a minute at this moment, the capital would be in a more critical situation.

He stood up suddenly, and at this moment his whole body was filled with a cold murderous aura. The yellow military uniform seemed to flutter without wind, and the tall figure immediately shut up the officers in front of him, and they all took two steps back in front of his majesty.

A cold light suddenly burst into the eyes of Xiangyue Qingji: "Immediately order the troops to move forward and march towards Zhuozhou at full speed." We must arrive in Zhuozhou before the arrival of the Chinese people, where we will wait for the Chinese people and start a decisive battle with them! ”

"Hay!" The chief of staff nodded excitedly: "Our army has already been assembled, and we can go to the front line just waiting for the order of His Excellency the Commander." I'm going to deliver your order now, and as long as it's a loyal soldier of the Imperial Army, they will be excited when they hear that they are going to kill the people of China.1"

The Chief of Staff staggered around and ran, quickly disappearing into the corridor outside.

"Your Excellency the Commander's decision is really too wise, our army has two hundred thousand. At this time, the attack was like a sharp sword, piercing the weakest point of the Chinese people. The deputy commander laughed, touched his beard, and said as if Zhuge Liang had reborn: "The people of China have captured Baoding and Xu Shui in succession. By the time they arrived in Zhuozhou, they must have become exhausted. That is, as long as we launch a general attack, with the courage and combat effectiveness of the imperial army, we will definitely be able to completely wipe them out! ”

The surrounding devils also echoed it, and everyone thought that the next battle would inevitably be able to separate the victory and defeat with the PLA.

Kazuki Kiyoji is not so optimistic, he has fought with the People's Liberation Army so many times, and he has long removed the contempt in his heart.

Today's People's Liberation Army is the biggest enemy in his life.

"Immediately send planes to reconnoiter the movements of the People's Liberation Army at high altitudes, as well as find out the reasons for the fall of Baoding and where Yoshinori Kawashima is now!" Xiangyue Qingji yelled: "Baoding can't fall for no reason like this, I must know the reason." Otherwise, in the next big war, we are likely to continue to repeat the mistakes of the past! ”

"Hay!" The devils nodded one after another.

"The dispatch army headquarters will be dispatched with the army, and this time, I will personally command the operation!" The murderous intent in Kiyoshi Kazuki's eyes was already intense to the extreme, and he strode outside.

Late at night, on the outskirts of Beijing! A large number of Japanese troops were moving rapidly, and the Japanese troops who received the order marched in the direction of Zhuozhou.

Countless trucks and transports carried a large number of Japanese troops directly to the direction of Zhuozhou.

All devils understand that this is a scramble. As long as they first go to Zhuozhou, set up a defensive line there, and then wait for the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, they will have any hope of winning a great victory.

Even if they have a large number of people, their weapons and firepower are not bad. But the prestige of the People's Liberation Army from entering Hebei all the way also made the devils tremble, and these invaders really felt what it means to be afraid, which is a feeling that makes the soul tremble.

The headquarters of Kazuki Kiyoji was protected by the direct wing of the Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters, and drove directly from the capital, moved quickly in the direction of Zhuozhou, and soon joined the army.

Before the Battle of Baoding, Kazuki Kiyoji had already concentrated all the Japanese troops near the capital. In order to prevent Baoding from being in danger, reinforcements can be sent at the first time.

It's a pity that the speed of Baoding's fall is too fast. Kazuki Kiyoji didn't have time to send a single soldier to Baoding, and now he can only do some remedial measures, hoping to block the offensive of the People's Liberation Army.

This time, in addition to the troops that had to stay behind, Kazuki Kiyoji mobilized 200,000 Japanese troops, which was basically the last elite troops he could deploy.

There are also the eight most elite divisions of the puppet army, about 100,000 troops, who are going to Zhuozhou in a mighty way.

The bumpy road made Kiyoji Kazuki sleepy, and even though the night was already deep at the moment, his nerves were extremely awake.

The night breeze blew in slowly from the window, gently ruffling the ends of his hair. Seiji Kazuki had a grim face, and his mind was thinking about a thousand questions that were about to arise.

The Japanese army marched very fast, and by daybreak, they were not far from Zhuozhou.

The devil defenders along the way saw the large army coming to reinforce them, and they all laughed happily, and everyone felt that they were saved this time.

When he was about to arrive in Zhuozhou, Kiyoji Kazuki suddenly received an urgent military intelligence telegram from the front.

As soon as he glanced at it, his complexion changed dramatically, and he immediately ordered the troops to stop their march.

Soon, his chief of staff and others rushed over when they heard the news. At this time, it was almost in Zhuozhou, and if you didn't hurry up, you had to stop, and everyone knew that something big had happened.

Kazuki Kiyoji looked at his group of subordinates and immediately handed over the telegram he had received to them: "The urgent telegram I just received that the people of China have launched a full-scale attack from Shandong. Guantao, Dezhou and other places have been completely lost, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the People's Liberation Army are pressing on us from the front line of Shandong! ”

This news is not much different from the effect of a bombshell explosion, and even more shocking to the devils than the loss of Baoding.

There is already a PLA unit in Hebei that gives them a headache, and now they have brought in more than 100,000 troops from Shandong.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?" The chief of staff looked at Kiyoshi Kazuki directly, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Seiji Kazuki looked around at his men, gritted his teeth, and said, "The intentions of the Shina people are obvious, they want to attack us on both sides. While our whole army was heading to Zhuozhou, we captured the undefended Tianjin and the capital from the flank, cutting off our sea passage! ”

"If the people of China are allowed to achieve their goal, the Central China dispatch army will be trapped on land, and there will no longer be any support from the sea. The people of China will cut us off from all contact with the sea and seal off the harbor completely! ”

Kazuki Kiyoji said coldly: "This is something that must not happen, without sea assistance, the dispatch of troops from Central China will be over." Therefore, we must immediately retreat, shrink all our forces, and defend the capital and Tianjin, and we must not let the people of China succeed! ”

Kazuki Kiyoji's words were immediately unanimously agreed by all the devils, Tianjin and the capital were too important. As long as they hold these two places, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. If they lose, they really have no place to die!

"Retreat!" Xiangyue Qingji said coldly: "Retreat immediately, don't care about other places, let's defend the capital and Tianjin!" ”

At noon, the vanguard of the First Army arrived 50 kilometers outside the city of Zhuozhou, and the city of Zhuozhou could already be seen in the distance.

"Report to the Chief of Staff that the large forces of the Japanese army have retreated in the direction of the capital!" In the Chinese army, an officer reported loudly to Gao Dong.

Gao Dong looked at Hu Xinghan with a smile and stretched out his hand at him: "How about it, what I said is good, right?" ”

Hu Xinghan's eyes showed a contemptuous smile towards the devil: "Then you're welcome, Zhuozhou City, my first army wants it!" ”
