"Comrades, rush, kill all the little devils, capture Tada Jun alive... Da Da Da Da..."A burst of bullets shot out of the position of the little devil. Several of the soldiers who were at the forefront of the charge, without accident, were all shot and fell on the way to the charge. The commander of a company picked up the ground, sacrificed the machine gun in the hands of the machine gunner, and yelled at the soldiers beside him. At the same time, facing the little devil who was getting closer and closer in front of him and was about to return fire, he pulled the trigger of the machine gun in his hand ....

Under the pressure of several crooked machine guns, firing a dense rain of bullets. The more than 20 devil soldiers who had just reacted from the artillery fire were once again unable to lift their heads because they had lost the cover of their machine guns. And the nearly 100 soldiers of the first company, taking advantage of this favorable reality, rushed into the little devil's fortifications with all their might..."Bang bang bang...dada..." In the face of the fortifications, more than 20 devil soldiers were ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with themselves with bayonets. Without any hesitation, the soldiers quickly pulled the rifles in their hands and fired the last bullet in the chamber... A messy gunshot rang out, and more than 20 ghost soldiers, without time for chain reaction, turned into a soft corpse with a pair of eyes, and fell on the way to charge....

"Brigade commander, the position has been successfully taken by a company, and in the course of the battle, only less than a squad of fighters has been lost." Looking at the soldiers of the first company, they only paid the casualties of a few soldiers, and successfully occupied the position of the little devil who was blocking in front of them. Hu Zhengping, the head of the second regiment, replied with a smile on his face at Bruce Lee.

"Well, the company did a good job and ordered the troops to continue the attack. If you encounter the street fighting fortifications arranged by the little devils on the street again, you will be greeted in the old way. Our task is to penetrate the North China Command of the Yue Army in the shortest possible time and knock out the command system of the Beiping Yu Army..."A smile appeared on Bruce Lee's face, and he confidently ordered.

The entire second regiment, more than a thousand fighters. Under the personal command of the brigade commander Bruce Lee, sometimes charged, sometimes attacked. With the perfect cooperation of the mortar and the anti-aircraft machine gun, the momentum along the way is like a bamboo, and the speed of progress is unusually fast. In just an hour, the sun had already risen in the east. The troops have managed to weave through several streets. The distance from the headquarters of the North China garrison of the Chinese army has also changed from a few kilometers at the beginning to two kilometers now... However, as the troops got closer to the Little Devil Command, the pace of the fighters' progress became slower and slower. Facing the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade, this lone Eighth Route Army unit, as the commander of the Tada Jun Award, of course, will not let go of this good opportunity to take advantage of it again. After all, because of a large number of Imperial Cooperative Army troops, after being rushed to the city fortifications, in his hands, at this moment, there are still a reserve of 5,000 people. Together with the gendarmerie brigade in Beiping City, there are still 6,000 elite troops. With an elite army of 6,000 people, it is absolutely impossible for a lone army of less than 2,000 people to not feel itchy in the face of the Eighth Route Army's troops.

"Chief of Staff, are you sure that the situation you just said has been investigated? Is it true that the Eighth Route Army has less than a regiment of troops, only carries a small number of mortars, and is alone in the city, and has now attacked to a position less than two kilometers away from the headquarters? Not far away, there was a dense sound of gunfire. The commander, Admiral Tada, asked rhetorically, frowning at his brow.

"Hey, you can vouch for the honor of your own soldiers, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong with it. The troops of the Eighth Route Army, which had less than 2,000 men, had now attacked here. However, under the resolute resistance of a large number of our troops, the progress of the Eighth Route Army was very slow. To attack our headquarters, it will take at least two hours to complete. Nevertheless, Your Excellency, for the sake of your safety, I suggest that you immediately take the General Staff Office, the Telecommunications Office, and other important departments, and transfer them to the headquarters that has just been established in the Concession, and continue to command the battle. The chief of staff pointed to a street on the map of the city defense and said with an affirmative expression.

"No, Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army has less than one regiment of attacking troops, and it is definitely an impossible thing to eat my headquarters. Chief of Staff, today, not only do I not plan to retreat, but I also want to command my Imperial Army here, to completely annihilate this lone force of the Eighth Route Army, and continue to fight against the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army..."

"Ah, Your Excellency Commander, you are wise, with the strength of the reserves in our hands, we are fully capable of completely annihilating the Eighth Route Army troops that are lone in depth. If this Eighth Route Army can be completely annihilated again, it will not only be able to deal a good blow to the morale of the Eighth Route Army, but at the same time, it can also continuously weaken the vitality of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. If nothing else, the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city have reached the point where their troops are stretched. Otherwise, after breaking through the city wall, the Eighth Route Army would not have just sent a regiment of troops to carry out a lone army..."The chief of staff's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly realized, and then he said excitedly.

"Yo Xi, what you said is very correct, according to the current situation, the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city have indeed reached the point where their strength is overstretched. If we can seize this favorable opportunity and once again completely annihilate one of their main regiments, then the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city will fall into the predicament of insufficient troops. When the time comes, the difficulties I encounter in Beiping City will be solved..."Tada Jun nodded and said with a smile on his face.

"Hey, please give an order from Your Excellency the Commander to completely annihilate the Eighth Route Army troops that are lone in depth..."The chief of staff affirmed.

"Now I order that the first, second, and third brigades of the reserve corps, under the personal command of you, chief of staff, immediately surround the lone Eighth Route Army troops, and strive to completely annihilate this Eighth Route Army within an hour. Chief of Staff, do you have the confidence to complete this task..."Tada Jun nodded with satisfaction, and ordered loudly to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Commander, that your humble post will certainly not disappoint your expectations, and in the shortest possible time, this Eighth Route Army will be completely annihilated, please rest assured, Your Excellency the Commander..." After speaking, the chief of staff, who received the task of leading the troops in combat, walked out with a confident face.

In less than a few minutes, three infantry brigades, three thousand devil soldiers, were under the command of the chief of staff. Along the ubiquitous streets and alleys in Beiping City, he quickly received the Second Regiment of the Guard Brigade and made a detour to the past. It is hoped that in the shortest possible time, this Eighth Route Army unit will be surrounded. Then, he launched a surprise attack and completely annihilated this army.

However, after the huge losses of the first attack, at this moment, although the 2nd Regiment of the Guards Brigade was also alone. However, Bruce Lee, as the commander, arranged a large number of reconnaissance units in front of and behind the troops. If there is any accident, I will definitely be able to react in the shortest possible time..."What's going on, it has been twenty minutes, and the troops have advanced less than a hundred meters. If we follow this speed, when we reach the headquarters of the little devil, the daylily will be cold..."Looking at the snail-like advance speed of the troops, the brigade commander Bruce Lee frowned tightly, and came to the side of the forward battalion commander Xu Long and asked..."Brigade commander, the resistance of the little devil is too tenacious, and almost every house has to have a fierce fight with our army. So far, although we have eliminated a lot of little devils, the forward battalion has lost almost a company of troops....In addition, in front of us, almost the entire street is densely covered with all kinds of street fortifications, including various pillboxes made of reinforced concrete. The heavy weapons in our hands have no effect at all on these pillboxes. can only rely on the sapper blast and slowly advance ..."Seeing the brigade commander in front of him, because of the huge losses of the troops. The commander of the forward battalion, Xu Long, was also very uncomfortable in his heart, and replied with a frown.

"Hey, what a miscalculation. Knowing this, we brought an anti-aircraft gun with us. However, it's too late to say anything now, and we have to find a way to speed up the army's attack...."Bruce Lee shook his head helplessly and said.

However, at this moment, a rush of footsteps reached his ears. Immediately afterwards, I saw a scout, clinging to the courtyard walls on both sides of the street, quickly ran to his side, and reported with a hurried face: "Brigade commander, in an emergency, we have found a large number of troops in the alleys on both wings of the army, which are turning around towards our two wings, and there are three infantry brigades in size..."

"What do you say? Three brigades of little devils are coming to our wings, what do the little devils want to do? Could it be that seeing our second regiment going deep alone, they want to annihilate us completely? Bruce Lee's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in disbelief. After a few seconds of shock, the corners of Bruce Lee's mouth slowly showed a sneer, and he said to the several battalion commanders beside him.

"It seems that the little devil commander, Tada Jun, an old devil, took a big advantage in our first round of attack. Seeing that our second regiment was alone in the depths, we also wanted to take a big advantage. However, our second regiment was not so easy to be wiped out by them. When the time comes, not only will the little devils not be able to eat and walk around, but I will also let them all stay here. Bruce Lee affirmed.

"Brigade Commander, do you already have any good ideas in mind?" Seeing in front of him, Bruce Lee, the brigade commander with a confident face, and Hu Zhengping, the commander of the second regiment, asked expectantly.

"Battalion Chief Xu, when you are fighting with the little devils in the surrounding yards, are there any ordinary people in the houses around Street I?" Regarding Hu Zhengping's question, Bruce Lee nodded and did not answer. Then, he looked at Xu Hu, the commander of the forward battalion in front of him, with a puzzled expression, and asked.

"Brigade commander, in the course of the battle, there was not a single civilian in the house in the yard next to the street. If nothing else, before the battle began, the army had already driven all the civilians around the headquarters to facilitate them to arrange all kinds of street fighting fortifications..."Xu Hu replied affirmatively.

"Very good, in that case, then we will be a bait today by the Second Regiment to attract all the main forces of the little devils in Beiping City to our surroundings. Then, with the cooperation of several other troops entering the city, the main force of the Yue army was completely annihilated here. In this way, in the next battle, we can avoid street fighting with the little devils. After getting an affirmative answer. The corners of Bruce Lee's mouth immediately showed a smile, and he said what he thought to Hu Zhengping beside him.

"It's just that, brigade commander, in this case, the casualties of the Second Regiment will definitely be very large. In addition, in the course of the battle, if something happens and several other troops cannot reach the battlefield in time, our second regiment may have to face the result of the annihilation of the whole army. Hu Zhengping said with a worried face.

"Commander Hu, for the sake of the overall situation of the entire Beiping Campaign, the necessary sacrifices are worth it. In addition, we have to believe in the combat effectiveness of several other units and believe in our comrades-in-arms. Most importantly, we have to believe in the combat effectiveness of our troops. Although the army has 3,000 men, it is twice as many as ours in terms of strength. However, as long as we make use of the various buildings around us and arrange them properly, we can hold on for hours or even a day. So, we must have confidence in ourselves..."Bruce Lee interrupted Hu Zhengping, who still wanted to continue, and said with an affirmative face.

"Brigade commander, since you have made up your mind, I absolutely support you, you can give an order...."Seeing that the brigade commander had made up his mind, Hu Zhengping immediately swallowed the words he still wanted to say back into his stomach. Then, with a look of affirmative support.

"Well, we have to believe in our own combat effectiveness. At the same time, we must believe in the combat effectiveness of our comrades-in-arms. Captain Hu, I just observed that on the left side of the street we are on, there are mainly some shops, and there is no value of sticking. And on our right, almost all of them are some compounds. If the remaining troops of our second regiment occupy as many courtyards as possible, we can rely on the strong courtyard walls to hold on and kill and injure a large number of the living forces of the surrounding army..."Bruce Lee pointed to a large compound with a strong courtyard wall on the right side, and analyzed it to Hu Zhengping beside him.

"Brigade commander, according to the solidity of these courtyards, if the army does not carry any heavy weapons, we will definitely have no problem holding our positions with the help of these courtyard walls. Brigade commander, you can give an order, now the little devil is getting closer and closer to us, we must hurry up and set up a position for the little devil in these compounds...."Hu Zhengping nodded and replied affirmatively.

"Okay, now I order, the second and third battalions immediately take platoons and occupy as many compounds as possible on the right side of the street. At the same time, with everything at our disposal, all the compounds we occupy will be connected. And to make shooting holes in the courtyard wall around the perimeter, near the main street. In addition, the forward battalion, artillery company, anti-aircraft machine gun company, heavy machine gun company, served as a reserve and was responsible for centering and adjusting. Do you have any other questions? "Bruce Lee ordered with certainty... Seeing that everyone shook their heads, indicating that they did not have any doubts. Bruce Lee continued: "Okay, since everyone has no problem, let's start acting now. Tell the soldiers, time is not waiting for me, the stronger our positions are, the longer we will hold out... Commander Hu, you immediately send a report to the commander and report our battle plan. ”

With the departure of the commanders, the street, which was still full of soldiers just now, was deserted in an instant. Under the command of commanders at all levels, groups of soldiers began to climb over the wall and burrow into the compound on the right side of the street under the command of commanders at all levels. In less than a few minutes, the explosion of grenades and the sound of metal colliding were heard in this huge courtyard.

The compounds, in the sound of grenade explosions, were connected, allowing the soldiers to come and go at will and reinforce each other. The gates next to the street were tightly blocked by the soldiers with various obstacles, and except for the heavy artillery of one gate, which could pose a threat to the gate, other weapons basically did not play any role. More soldiers, using the sharp bayonets in their hands, began to dig out the thick shooting holes of bowls on the tall and solid courtyard wall in front of them. A machine gun and the barrel of a rifle stretched out from the narrow shooting hole, and aimed firmly at the empty street at this moment, waiting for the arrival of the little devil.

"Company Commander Wang, Company Commander Zhou. Your two companies, with 18 heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, were immediately centered on the compound where the headquarters was located, and arranged on the inside of each passage. If the outer courtyard is occupied by the army, do not hesitate to use the heavy weapons in your hands to seal all the passages for me. Is there any problem..."Looking at the troops of more than 1,000 people, under the command of their respective commanders, preparations were carried out in an orderly manner. Bruce Lee put his eyes on the reserves around him, the commanders of several companies, and ordered.

"Brigade commander, guarantee the completion of the mission..."The two company commanders replied in unison, turned around and took the troops, carrying a heavy machine gun and anti-aircraft machine gun, and left the compound where the headquarters was located.

"Company Commander Zhang, your artillery company, immediately build an artillery position. Be sure to measure the shooting dollars in the four surrounding streets and the surrounding yards in advance. When the time comes, you must ensure that wherever I point, your shells will be able to hit. Are there any difficulties? "Bruce Lee continued to order..."Brigade commander, there is no difficulty, the artillery company guarantees to complete the task..."As he spoke, the artillery company commander had already commanded nearly a hundred soldiers behind him to begin to set up nine mortars in the open space in the middle of the courtyard. At the same time, several artillery observers, under the command of the company commander, quickly rushed out of the compound, taking advantage of the fact that the army had not yet arrived, to determine the specific shooting of Zhu Yuan...
