Chapter 450: Shocking

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the report of the Air Force reconnaissance plane, the troops of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Baoding City had already taken the initiative to abandon Baoding County and retreated in embarrassment an hour ago, and now they have returned to their base area..." The chief of staff took a telegram and came to the window to report.

"Nani, the Eighth Route Army has retreated in a hurry... Yo Xi, it must be the Eighth Route Army defending the city, seeing the arrival of our main force, knowing that they are not our opponents, and then taking the initiative to give up Baoding City. However, I believe that these troops of the Eighth Route Army, under the heavy encirclement and suppression of our 150,000-strong army, will not be able to escape from the palm of our hands in the end. Order, the avant-garde wing immediately occupied Baoding City, and cleared Baoding City and the surrounding troops of the Eighth Route Army. Preparations for the stationing of the main forces at night. The division commander opened his eyes and said without any expression. The whole process, as if the whole thing was happening, had already been expected by him.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Division Commander, I'll go and send a report right away..." After more than two hours of marching, the main force of the division finally met the commander of the avant-garde wing who came to greet him. The entire marching army and the 70,000-strong army immediately stopped outside Baoding City, waiting for the Supreme Commander to give the order for the troops to camp..."Report to Your Excellency the Division Commander, according to reconnaissance, Baoding City has now become an empty city. At the same time, within a radius of several kilometers, no Eighth Route Army was found. The entire area around Baoding City is absolutely safe, and the troops can camp on the spot..."The commander of the vanguard wing looked in front of him, and the division commander who was looking at Baoding City in a daze, hurriedly reported.

"Yo Xi, you're doing a good job... However, although Baoding City is large, we have a full 70,000 troops after all, and it is impossible for all of them to enter the county seat. All the officers and men of the 20th Division and all the technical units of the 108th Division were ordered to camp and rest in Baoding City. The troops of the Imperial Allied Army, all the infantry of the 108th Division were led by the commander of the 108th Division and were stationed outside the city. Go and convey the order immediately..."The division commander nodded, and then gave the order to the troops to camp in front of the chief of staff behind him..."Hi, Your Excellency the division commander..."The chief of staff replied with an excited face. After all, the county seat is only so big, and the chief of staff originally thought that the division commander would let the 108th Division be stationed in order to pay attention to style. However, to his surprise, the division commander still favored his own division. Even if the officers and men of the 108th Division complained, there was no way to do it, after all, the commander of his own division was the supreme commander of the entire unit appointed by the headquarters. Thinking that he had been sleeping in the open for half a month, and he could finally be stationed in the county today, the chief of staff was very happy... In this way, an army of 70,000 people, about 30,000 little devils, under the personal leadership of the division commander, drove into the county seat. Began camping in empty houses. Unbeknownst to them, tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives were planted under their feet. As long as it is detonated, it can completely wipe out these 30,000 troops... And the 40,000 troops who were required to be stationed outside the city were very uncomfortable. But, after all, it was the order of the Supreme Commander. In this hierarchical army, no one dared to make any sense... One by one, with a belly full of fire, troops began to look for suitable terrain outside the city to set up camp... Perhaps after a day's march, the 70,000-strong army was now sleepy and tired. Maybe it's because they believe too much in the search capabilities of the avant-garde wing. The 40,000 troops stationed outside the city, except for 20,000 little devils, were stationed near Baoding City. The remaining more than 20,000 puppet army troops are all stationed on the periphery. What's more, the Imperial Allied troops stationed in the outermost part did not conduct any search around, and only sent a certain number of sentries and patrols before they began to rest... With the order issued, in less than two hours, the huge city of Baoding slowly fell into tranquility. All the puppet soldiers are huddled in their tents or next to the campfire to replenish the physical strength they have consumed for the day.

At this moment, in a hidden soldier cave less than a mile away from the puppet army camp, all the members of the Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade began to check the equipment under the command of Captain Liu Hao, preparing for the battle in a few hours..."Captain, all the fighters are ready, and each team member carries five mines. When the time comes, all the passages around the puppet army must be densely covered with mines. Even if the little devil enters the mountain, our special operations team just gives full play to its advantages and lets the little devil know what special operations are..."The deputy captain came quickly, and was lying at the entrance of the Tibetan Soldier Cave, observing the captain Liu Hao, who was a few miles away in Baoding City, and said..."Well, I think so too. However, the soldiers should also be told to use all the things they have learned. Don't let the little devil sappers take all the mines that were planted at that time... If this is the case, then the reputation of our fourth squadron will be ruined in my hands..."Liu Hao put down the binoculars in his hand and continued to admonish.

"Captain, don't worry. When the time comes, make sure that every mine explodes...", the vice-captain assured with a confident face. After all, its own special operations brigade has undergone several years of actual combat training and is the first special forces unit in the entire country. Not only did special training be given to the methods of laying mines, but even the commanders of military districts personally gave tactical guidance for a long time. If this task cannot be completed, then my training in the past few years will really be in vain..."Tell the fighters that after half an hour, we will start to split up and let everyone seize the time to rest. In addition, we have only five hours to lay mines, and after five hours, the soldiers of the engineering regiment will detonate the explosives under the feet of the little devils. Therefore, we must also hurry up and not have any accidents..."Liu Hao continued to order... The half-hour rest period passed quickly, and more than 200 special combat personnel, with a large number of mines, under the leadership of the leaders of their respective combat teams, drilled out of the hiding holes one after another. Then, it quickly dispersed. According to the pre-war arrangement, he drove towards his predetermined goal... In less than an hour, countless busy figures flashed around the huge barracks of the Yue Army. One by one, the special combat team members, carrying modified mines on their backs, began to be busy less than 500 meters away from the military camp of the puppet army... Although, at this moment, the Imperial Cooperative Army troops stationed on the periphery have arranged a lot of guard posts and patrols around. However, in front of the special combat personnel, these patrol soldiers, who were hardly vigilant, had almost no accidents, and all of them quietly evaded the detection of the patrol soldiers... As time passed, minute by minute, the special combat team members who went out to lay mines slowly returned to the cave... From everyone's excited eyes, captain Liu Hao knew that everyone had successfully completed the task..."Detachment leader, everyone has come back, and the task has been successfully completed." This time, our special combat team will definitely make the little devils in the encirclement pay the price of blood..."After counting the number of special combat members, the deputy captain came to Liu Hao with a smile on his face and replied confidently..."Okay, the soldiers are all good. Now there is only half an hour left until the final detonation time. Let the soldiers hurry up and rest, and after half an hour, a more severe task awaits our special operations team..."Squadron leader Liu Hao nodded, and ordered, "With the order issued, a special combat team member began to sit quietly in the hiding cave, eating dry food, and checking his weapons and equipment... In the entire Tibetan Cave, for a while, only the sound of disassembling weapons remained, and everyone was silently waiting, waiting for half an hour later, when that moment came... Finally, in the anxious waiting of everyone, the hour hand walked towards the predetermined position minute by minute... Everyone, at the same time, put their eyes on the bodies of several sapper soldiers who were lying at the entrance of the Tibetan Soldier Cave... Although, everyone is full of confidence in the blasting at night, especially these sapper fighters who stayed behind, and they are full of confidence in the grave they arranged for the little devil. However, at this critical juncture, everyone clenched their fists and looked at the peaceful Baoding City a few miles away without blinking... In particular, several sapper fighters holding detonators, at this moment, because of the nervousness and anxiety in their hearts. In the palms of their hands holding the detonator lever, countless beads of sweat were already oozing. Looking at their foreheads, in the cold night, there were beads of sweat the size of beans, which were slowly flowing down their cheeks.

"Comrades, relax and don't get too nervous. All our lines are arranged in double lines, and there will be absolutely no problems, everyone must believe in their own ability..."Looking at the nervous dozen or so engineer soldiers, who were also lying at the entrance of the cave, Liu Hao, the leader of the fourth squadron of the special operations brigade who served as the supreme commander of the left-behind troops, whispered comforting..."Comrades, what Captain Liu said is right, we must believe in our own ability. Relax a little..."The vice-captain also hurriedly comforted. At this moment, a cold wind blew at the entrance of the cave, and the faces of the people who were lying at the entrance of the cave. Stimulated by the biting cold wind, coupled with Liu Hao's words just now. Several sapper soldiers who were responsible for the detonation task slowly let go of their right hand holding the detonator, and often breathed a sigh of relief, ready to relieve their nervous mood at this moment... However, just when the dozen or so sappers were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Liu Hao's words made their newly relaxed hearts tense again: "Comrades, the time is almost up, prepare to detonate..." Immediately, several demomen, almost at the same time, pressed the detonator in their hands. Then, as if he had collapsed, he sat heavily on the ground, panting heavily, breathing in the cold wind blowing from the mouth of the cave... And just when several sapper fighters just pressed the detonator in their hands. A few miles away in the city of Baoding, a huge fireball suddenly rose. The orange-red flame rose rapidly from the center of the entire Baoding City. At the same time, an explosion like thunder reached the ears of several people. The whole earth also began to tremble with the rumbling explosion..."Rumble...."In the continuous explosions, Baoding County, which was still calm just now, was completely wrapped in a huge fireball that rose into the air in less than half a minute. The entire city of Baoding, under the illumination of huge fireballs, was immediately shrouded in smoke and dust more than ten meters high by the explosion of explosives... Among them, what surprised everyone even more was that just half a minute ago, the Baoding city wall was still towering in front of everyone. At this moment, it was like a pile of broken dirt, and it immediately turned into a huge pile of dirt... Of course, at the same time as the underground explosives in Baoding City, there were thousands of kilograms of explosives planted by the soldiers in the open area outside the city... Two huge seas of fire, in this dark night, echoed each other, illuminating the entire Baoding City sky red....At this moment, more than 200 members of the entire special combat team, after less than half a minute of discomfort, quickly rushed out of the hiding cave. One by one, they looked at the two seas of fire in front of them in a daze... At this moment, more than 70,000 puppet troops are stationed in Baoding City. Except for the more than 30,000 puppet troops who have fallen into a sea of fire. The remaining puppet army, which was less than 40,000, was awakened from their dreams at the same time by the sudden sound of a violent explosion from the direction of the county seat... Feel the ground tremble and listen to the rumbling explosions. Those little devils who came from this island country almost immediately thought that there was a familiar earthquake on the ground under their feet..."Baga, it's an earthquake, everyone lie down quickly, hide immediately, don't run around..."Feeling the trembling of the earth, a little devil commander who had just been awakened from his sleep exclaimed loudly at the same time that he was lying on the ground for the first time, and at the same time facing the soldiers who were also panicked beside him... At the same time, the little devil lay on the ground. However, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army, who have little culture, and do not know what an earthquake is. At this moment, it is in chaos. In their eyes, the violent explosion just now must be their own camp, which has been attacked by the enemy... With this kind of thought, those soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, as soon as they woke up, quickly loaded the weapons in their hands to save their lives. At the same time, with the weapons in his hands, he began to run around the barracks, shouting ... However, these panicked soldiers of the Imperial Association Army were also the first to see Baoding City, which had been caught in a sea of fire and was blown into ruins..."My mother, Baoding City is on fire... Baoding City was struck by lightning and all of them were on fire...""The little devils have killed too many people, God has come to punish them, everyone run..."In an instant, all kinds of rumors began to spread among these soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, who had no military knowledge at all... In an instant, the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who were still chaotic just now, were even more chaotic at this moment. And at this moment, I don't know if it was the soldier, I accidentally pulled the trigger of the weapon in my hand, and a sharp gunshot rang out in the chaotic crowd. Immediately after, a scream reached everyone's ears. A soldier of the Imperial Cooperative Army, holding his shot thigh, sat on the ground, and began to let out bursts of screams..."Not good, enemy attack, there is the Eighth Route Army mixed in, enemy attack... Bang bang bang..."At this moment, several special combat team members who took the opportunity to infiltrate the ranks of the Imperial Cooperative Army immediately seized this favorable time and shouted loudly at the chaotic crowd. At the same time, several grenades that were emitting green smoke were thrown into the chaotic crowd, and then quickly withdrew from the Imperial Army barracks.

Under the influence of the sound of the grenade explosion, the soldiers of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who were already panicked and panicked, couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, and pulled the trigger on the chaotic crowd in front of them... Suddenly, in the barracks within a radius of several kilometers, a messy burst of gunfire and grenade explosions immediately rang out....

More than 20,000 soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army survived the explosion just now. Pushed by several special combat soldiers, they fell into a scuffle... As the scope of the melee became larger and larger, the flying bullets slowly extended to the camp of the 108th Division of the Yue Army, which was surrounded by the military camp of the Imperial Allied Army...

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army, it must be the Eighth Route Army mixed into the Imperial Army, it must be the Eighth Route Army. Warriors, fire immediately, we must block the chaotic Imperial Army, we must not let them storm our barracks, the machine gunners must open fire immediately, we must not let the chaotic Imperial Allied Army, rush into our camp, and open fire immediately..."I saw several of my subordinates fall in the flying bullets. The soldiers of the Imperial Army, who were watching the chaos, were slowly advancing towards their own barracks. Immediately, several machine gunners quickly set up a light machine gun, and pulled the trigger mercilessly at the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, who were already close at hand and were about to enter their camp, and shot the rain of bullets into these chaotic crowds....With the dense bullets, like rain, they poured into the chaotic ranks of the Imperial Army. The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army, who were getting closer and closer to the camp of the Yue Army, were immediately swept to the ground in pieces...
