After withstanding the explosion of nearly a thousand shells and grenades of various kinds, a brigade of several hundred soldiers remained. At this moment, it is almost impossible to find a few intact corpses. Even on the battlefield, there are some sporadic seriously wounded who did not die. Also on the position of the Imperial Army, under the accurate shooting of a rifleman, he stopped wailing and turned into a soft corpse, which completely became the target of these sharpshooters to train their marksmanship... More than 1,000 little devils, more than 1,000 self-proclaimed invincible soldiers, just like that, in less than two minutes, all fell on the way to attack, and none of them were spared....

"Baga, how is it possible, when did the Imperial Association Army have such a strong combat effectiveness. Impossible, this is definitely not a fact, when did these Imperial Allied troops have so many heavy weapons. Eight grid tooth road, impossible..."The division commander stared at a bloody battlefield a kilometer away with wide eyes, and showed a trace of incredulity to the commanders around him. Then, clenching his fists, he scolded loudly... Similarly, the chief of staff of the division was shocked by the battle that had just lasted two minutes. However, as the chief of staff of the entire division and regiment, after a short period of shock, he still woke up from the shock for the first time, and began to think about and answer the series of questions just raised by the division commander.

"Your Excellency, Commander of the Reporting Division, if nothing else, the heavy weapons in the hands of the Imperial Allied Army should have been excavated by them in the ruins of Baoding City... As for why they have such a strong combat power in such a short period of time, I don't know very well, please calm your anger at the division commander..."

"Nani, heavy weapons dug out of the rubble... Baga, the Imperial Allied Army is really very cunning, and actually came up with this method....It seems that we have to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Allied Army troops in front of us... It is simply a shame for the empire that an elite imperial army brigade was completely wiped out within two minutes of being attacked..."After a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, the division commander immediately reacted from the shock and said thoughtfully.

"Hey, Your Excellency the Division Commander, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the Imperial Allied Army has just relied on reasonable firepower to quickly annihilate the strength of one of our reinforced brigades, and now the morale of the troops is very high. And the morale of my heroic Imperial troops, after the losses just now, was very low. Do you order the remaining two infantry brigades, to go on the offensive ... Save the face of our imperial army, and at the same time, improve the morale of the troops..."The chief of staff nodded and suggested.

"No, it's just over an hour before it gets dark. Even if we attack now, with the current high morale of the Imperial Army, we will not gain anything. As for the evening, it is even less advantageous for our imperial army. So, I ordered, the troops to stop the offensive. The troops immediately set up camp on the spot and prepared for rest. Tomorrow, when our air reinforcements arrive, the troops will launch a new attack...", the division commander shook his head and ordered.

The army stopped attacking, and the 15,000-strong Imperial Allied army troops located above the ruins were after the victory they had just won. All of them were in high morale, building stronger fortifications, ready to meet the fiercer attack of the army tomorrow.

The Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Brigade, which was located around the puppet army, noticed that something was wrong on the battlefield when gunfire rang out throughout the battlefield. After sending scouts to conduct a detailed reconnaissance, they made a shocking discovery. The troops of the Zhanhuang Allied Army, who usually lead the little devils, actually engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with their masters and launched a rebellion

In order to better understand the situation on the battlefield and know what happened between the puppet army. Just when the troops of the Imperial Association Army quickly retreated to the ruins of Baoding City after almost five hours of fighting, several scouts took advantage of the chaos and easily captured a battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army, wanting to understand the specific situation on the battlefield... With one news after another, the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army in front of him said it from his mouth, and Liu Hao, the leader of the fourth squadron, couldn't believe his ears. However, after getting the confirmation of the battalion commander in front of him, combined with the battle that took place around Baoding City this afternoon. Liu Hao had to admit this fact, the Imperial Cooperative Army of more than 20,000 people had completely parted ways with the little devil at this moment and became an enemy... When he got the news, Liu Hao, who was excited, almost immediately reported the astonishing news to Wang Nanhu, the commander of the Third Division, who was leading the main force and rushing to the surroundings of Baoding City. At the same time, the entire squadron was also in the temporary camp, waiting for the latest order from Commander Wang Nanhu.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of the battle, Commander Wang Nanhu, was taking the 30,000 troops of the division and a large number of heavy weapons to a place less than 30 kilometers away from Baoding City. At most, it only takes one night today, and the 30,000 troops in his hands can surround all the puppet troops besieged by mines around Baoding City

Just when Wang Nanhu, like ordinary soldiers, was marching quickly on the highway in the dark, Chen Revolution, the political commissar of the division, took a telegram he had just received, and caught up with the commander Wang Nanhu in front with an excited face..."Commander, good news. There is great good news from the special operations brigade..."Seeing Wang Nanhu, political commissar Chen Revolution hurriedly replied, his words full of his own excited look..."Old Chen, what good news." It can't be that the special operations brigade killed the commander of the division! If that's the case, it will definitely help us a lot in the next battle. When the time comes, when the battle is over, I will definitely personally ask the commander for credit to the special operations team..."Looking at the political commissar in front of him, Wang Nanhu stopped and asked expectantly..."Commander, this news surprised us even more than the killing of the commander of the division..."Political commissar Chen Revolution shook his head, and then said with a mysterious face... Looking at the smiling political commissar in front of him, Wang Nanhu's face immediately began to get anxious, and he hurriedly continued to ask: "Lao Chen, what is the good news, so mysterious." Tell me quickly, we'll be happy together, and you won't sell it. ”

"Commander, Comrade Liu Hao, squadron leader of the Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Group, sent a telegram. The puppet army besieged around Baoding City, for some reason, started fighting each other at noon today... After almost an afternoon of melee, the two forces suffered more than 5,000 casualties each. So far, the remaining more than 15,000 Imperial Alliance troops are occupying the ruins of Baoding City, holding their positions and confronting the little devils... At the same time, Comrade Liu Hao asked the special operations brigade about its next plan of action..."Political Commissar Chen Revolution's words stirred up a thousand waves. As soon as Chen Revolution's words were finished, the commander Wang Nanhu, as the commander-in-chief, opened his mouth and showed a trace of incredulity....

"Lao Chen, what you just said is true, the little devil and the Imperial Association Army have fought. That is to say, the enemy that our three divisions are facing now is only more than 10,000 little devils around Baoding City, who do not occupy any favorable terrain, and they are also little devils who do not have any heavy weapons..."Wang Nanhu asked in disbelief.

"Commander, it's true... Not only that, but our three divisions also had more than 10,000 friendly troops for no reason. When the time comes, we and the more than 10,000 troops of the Imperial Association Army on the ruins of Baoding City will launch an attack on the Yue army at the same time, and we will definitely be able to catch the little devils by surprise and wipe them out in the shortest possible time..."

"Good, good, great. With the defection of these Imperial Alliance troops, I am confident that with the existing troops of our three divisions, all the remaining troops of the little devil will be left, so that the little devil will lose his wife and his troops this time..."After receiving a confident answer, Wang Nanhu's face immediately showed a confident smile.

"Lao Wang, now Comrade Liu Hao is waiting for our callback. You see, how will we arrange this elite army in the next time..."Regarding Wang Nanhu's words, Chen Revolution nodded approvingly, and continued to ask... After listening to the political commissar's questioning, Wang Nanhu, who was still excited just now, immediately calmed down quickly and fell into thought. In less than half a minute, a sly smile appeared on the corner of Commander Wang Nanhu's mouth, and he said to Chen Revolution, the political commissar in front of him: "Political commissar, order the fourth squadron of the special operations brigade to leave a squad of troops to meet the arrival of the main force. The rest of the team members, led by Comrade Liu Hao personally, brought the radio and got in touch with the puppet army troops on the ruins of Baoding City. When our main forces arrive, we will fight for internal and external attacks, and at the same time launch an attack..."

"Yes, Lao Wang, I will send a telegram to Comrade Liu Hao immediately. Let him take the radio and get in touch with the Imperial Cooperative Army troops in Baoding City in the shortest possible time..."After speaking, political commissar Chen Revolution ran over to the radio station behind him with an excited face.

"Chief of Staff, inform the troops to drop all their baggage and supplies, carry weapons and ammunition and advance lightly, and strive to rush to the vicinity of Baoding City within five hours to stand by. Order two infantry regiments to assist the fourth regiment of the heavy artillery brigade, and the divisional artillery regiment to speed up the march, and must not fall behind..."Looking at the departing political commissar, Wang Nanhu ordered to the chief of staff... After receiving a telegram from Wang Nanhu, the commander-in-chief of the battle, more than 200 members of the Fourth Squadron were also divided into two under the order of Squadron Leader Liu Hao... As the squadron leader, Liu Hao took more than 100 team members and a two-step radio station, relying on his familiarity with the terrain. Quickly passed through the woods that had caused heavy losses to the Japanese army, and came to the edge of the battlefield... At this moment, after the annihilation of the entire army of a reinforced brigade just now, the weather is getting darker and darker. More than 10,000 little devils, under the command of the division commander, never launched even a small attack. It's just that a few miles away, the position of the Imperial Allied Army, which is rapidly building fortifications, is firing sporadic shells from time to time... Seeing two armies almost a kilometer apart, engaged in a confrontation. Liu Hao did not hesitate, and immediately took more than a hundred team members, with the help of the cover of the dark night, along the edge of the woods, and quickly touched the position of the Imperial Association Army not far away.

Although, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Allied Army, Wang Degui, in order to prevent the possible night attack of the Yue army, arranged countless light and dark sentinels around the position for vigilance. However, these sentinels have no role in front of the special operations team. In less than half an hour, more than 100 team members successfully penetrated the two defensive lines arranged by the Imperial Association Army on the periphery and successfully came to the busy Imperial Association Army's position.

However, as soon as the group entered the position, they were wearing different military uniforms, and they were immediately surrounded by hundreds of Imperial Allied Army troops who rushed to hear the news... One by one, the muzzles of the black holes, under the command of an officer of the Imperial Cooperative Army, were quickly aimed at more than 100 people in the encirclement..."Who are you, and why are you here?" "After seeing that Liu Hao and the others were carrying weapons, they did not have any abnormal movements. An officer of the Imperial Association Army, who had just commanded the troops and quickly surrounded the soldiers, walked into the encirclement with his own weapon, looked at the special combat team member in front of him with a vigilant face and asked..."I don't know if you are..." Liu Hao did not directly state his purpose, but opened his mouth and asked..."I am the commander of the Third Division and the Fifth Regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, and now we are fighting with the little devils." Since you are not a member of our Imperial Army, you must be sent by the little devils... Brothers, arrest them all for me, and when I report to the commander-in-chief, they will be executed on the spot..."As he spoke, a contemptuous smile appeared on the face of the regiment commander in front of him..."Wait a minute..."Seeing the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were about to step forward to collect their weapons, Liu Hao roared and stopped their advance. Then, he said to the regiment commander in front of him: "This brother, we are from the Special Operations Brigade of the Reading Force Division of the Eighth Route Army, and I am Liu Hao, the leader of the Fourth Squadron. Brother, I have been ordered by my superiors to contact your Supreme Commander, and I would like to ask my brother to help pass it on..."

"What, the Reading Force Special Operations Brigade... You said that you are from the Reading Force Division Special Operations Brigade...", the regiment commander in front of him, stared at his big eyes and asked rhetorically.

You must know that after several years of fighting, the reputation of the Reading Force Special Operations Brigade has already spread to every corner of the entire North China region. And wherever the Reading Division Special Operations Brigade went, whether it was the Yue Army or the Imperial Allied Army, there was only one final result waiting for them, and that was death... Therefore, almost everyone in the puppet army in the entire North China region is talking about the special operations brigade. It's no wonder that the regiment commander in front of him will become stunned and at a loss after learning that more than 100 people on the other side are actually the special operations brigade that makes him feel frightened..."Yes, I am Liu Hao, the leader of the fourth squadron of the special operations brigade, I was ordered to come to contact friendly troops, the two units cooperate with each other, please this brother can report our situation to your commander-in-chief..."Liu Hao nodded and said affirmatively..."Yes, Captain Liu, I will report to the division immediately... Brothers, quick, put down your weapons immediately, these people are the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and they are the soldiers of the Reading Force Division Special Operations Brigade, everyone put down their guns, don't accidentally hurt your own people... Captain Liu, you rest here first, and I'll go to report to the division seat right away..."The regiment commander, who reacted from the shock, hurriedly said to the soldiers around him.

With the departure of the regiment commander, in less than a few minutes, I saw two soldiers wearing the uniforms of the major generals of the Imperial Cooperative Army, surrounded by a group of officers, quickly walking towards their location. Obviously, the officer who walked in the forefront was the commander of these Imperial Allied Army units, Wang Degui..."Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, you are finally here... If you don't come again, my heart will really have no bottom..."Just when Liu Hao was about to salute Wang Degui in front of him and say his intention, Wang Degui, who had already walked in front of him, to everyone's surprise, actually held Liu Hao's hands enthusiastically and said excitedly.

"Report to General Wang, Liu Hao, the leader of the fourth squadron of the special operations brigade of the reading division, on the order of Wang Nanhu, commander of the third division of the battle commander, led two squads of the fourth squadron of the special operations brigade, carrying a radio station, to contact friendly troops..." Captain Liu, I don't know if your commander-in-chief, let you come over, do you have any orders..."Although his Imperial Association Army has not yet been reorganized by the Eighth Route Army, as the commander of more than 10,000 people, Wang Degui's face did not show any arrogant look, but lowered his posture and asked Liu Hao in front of him.

"Report to General Wang, what our commander-in-chief means is to wait until the main force completely surrounds the Yue army outside. Our two troops launched an attack together, attacking inside and outside, and wiped out all the remaining more than 10,000 little devils at one time..."Seeing Wang Degui with a sincere face in front of him, Liu Hao's worried mind was completely put down just now. Facing Wang Degui in front of him, he had no scruples about the strategic concept of the commander-in-chief..."Okay, we can finally wipe out the little devils, and now we can finally let out a bad breath." It's just that, Captain Liu, because we are besieged by the Yue army, and the Yue army is not very at ease with our imperial army in peacetime. Therefore, our entire Imperial Cooperative Army, more than 10,000 troops, basically has no heavy weapons. The heavy machine guns and mortars that are now in use on the positions are still dug out of the rubble. Although we also dug up a lot of infantry guns and field artillery, we didn't find a single one in the entire Imperial Alliance army who could use these heavy weapons... Without the cover of heavy weapons, we don't have the ability to launch a counterattack against the current little devils..."As he spoke, Wang Degui's face showed a gloomy look...
