Chapter 743: Attack Baoding again
The last attack on Baoding was forced to stop because the devil took the initiative to abandon Baoding City, which made Zheng Yunshan and the soldiers of the guard regiment somewhat regretful.
Now there is finally another chance to attack Baoding again, so Zheng Yunshan's enthusiasm suddenly rises.
When he gathered nearly 1,000 soldiers of the first battalion of the guard regiment and announced the battle plan, the soldiers were a little surprised, but also excited, and as enthusiastic as Zheng Yunshan, looking forward to this battle, even if they had to wait for a hundred miles to march hundreds of miles overnight, they didn't even have a chance to sleep, and they had no regrets.
In order to ensure that this attack plan can be implemented smoothly, Qiao Youhua decided to personally lead the team, and brought a Type 95 assault rifle, a Type 92 automatic pistol, and of course, a three-edged military spur that he had been carrying with him.
Plus two M36 high-explosive grenades to ensure that you are fully armed and in the strongest combat power.
After the equipment was completed, Qiao Youhua left the headquarters and came to the south gate of the city with the same heavily armed guards, and as soon as he arrived, Zheng Yunshan arrived with nearly a thousand soldiers from the first battalion of guards.
"Commander, the first battalion of guards is here to report, please instruct!" Zheng Yunshan strode over to Qiao Youhua, stood up and saluted, and said loudly.
Qiao Youhua glanced at the thousands of heavily armed and murderous guard soldiers, nodded with satisfaction, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
…………
After Yokoyama Isamu and Anda 23 led their troops south from Baoding, they left only a logistics baggage team stationed in Baoding City, which was composed of the baggage wing directly under the two master regiments, and the baggage column each had a reinforced infantry squadron under its jurisdiction.
The total strength of the two infantry squadrons is about 700 people, plus other baggage troops, the number of soldiers is about 3,000 people, of course, the baggage troops will not be put into battle under normal circumstances, and the combat effectiveness is much lower than that of ordinary combat units.
It can be seen that Yokoyama Yong and the others never thought that Qiao Youhua would attack Baoding City under the pressure of his own army, and still have the strength and guts.
After nightfall, Baoding City fell into darkness, the devil sentries on the head of the city even turned off the searchlights, only a few devils were responsible for patrolling the night, and everyone else had fallen asleep.
It's not that they are slacking, but in their opinion, there are nearly 100,000 troops in front of Baoding, and this should be the most stable rear, how can there be danger?
In fact, almost half of the night passed, and there were no unusual sounds outside the city, except for the occasional chirping of insects.
At about four o'clock in the morning, the sky was already a little bright, and at this time, it was the most tired time of the day, and the devil sentries patrolling the city were yawning and sleepy.
After several hours of rapid marching at full speed, Qiao Youhua and Zheng Yunshan finally rushed to the south gate of Baoding before dawn with a thousand officers and soldiers of the guard regiment and entered a dense sorghum field more than one person high.
Qiao Youhua looked at his watch and instructed Zheng Yunshan behind him: "It's four fifty-five o'clock, and the sky is almost dawn, let the brothers hurry up and rest in place for five minutes, and launch an assault on Baoding City on time at five o'clock!" ”
"Yes!" Zheng Yunshan happily responded, turned around and shuttled through the sorghum field, and went to convey Qiao Youhua's order.
Qiao Youhua took a telescope with night vision function and quietly walked through a dense green sorghum and came to a place about one or two hundred meters away from the city wall.
Tong Guò telescope observed the situation on the head of the lower city, and because of the fast dawn of the sky and the night vision function of the telescope, his vision was clear.
The patrol posts of the devils on the wall of the south gate were deployed, and they were soon in full view.
The devil sentinels are sparse in number, and they are yawning one after another, and they are at their most lax, and now is a good time to do it.
Putting away the binoculars, Qiao Youhua quietly retreated to the place where the officers and soldiers were resting, checked his weapons and equipment, opened the safety of the Type 95 assault rifle and the Type 92 semi-automatic pistol, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and began to rest.
After several hours of high-intensity marching, he, a master of martial arts, was a little tired, not to mention other ordinary soldiers, even if they were elites stronger than ordinary soldiers, they had to rest and recover their body and spirit before they could continue fighting.
Five minutes passed in a flash, and Qiao Youhua was the first to stand up, holding a Type 95 assault rifle and said in a deep voice: "It's time, prepare for battle!" ”
Thousands of guards and soldiers all stood up one after another, and immediately, Qiao Youhua recruited several battalion and company commanders, and of course Zheng Yunshan, who was the regiment commander, was also there.
Several people gathered together, Qiao Youhua lowered his voice and said: "I just observed, the garrison of the devils is very lax, and there are probably less than one class of devil sentinels near the entire South Gate City Gate Building, and they are all sleepy.
I guess the other three are going in the same direction, and it's a great opportunity for us to raid.
Therefore, I decided to divide the troops into two routes, one was led by me to attack from the south gate, and the other was led by your regiment commander Zheng to the west gate.
When you arrive, send three red flares, and then our two teams will attack at the same time, which will definitely make the devils in the city unable to deal with it.
Remember to me, our goal this time is to capture the whole city and destroy the material warehouses of the devils and puppet troops in the city, but because we don't know how many troops the enemy has left in the city.
Therefore, if the enemy is desperate to capture the whole city in the face of stubborn resistance, then retreat to the next best thing, organize troops to destroy as many enemy material warehouses as possible at any cost, as long as the enemy's warehouses are successfully destroyed, it is considered to have achieved the goal, and you can retreat according to the situation. ”
"Yes!" Zheng Yunshan and several battalion and company commanders responded one after another.
Soon, the first battalion of guards was divided into two roads, each team of nearly 500 people, one team followed Qiao Youhua to stay, and the other team followed Zheng Yunshan through the dense sorghum field and made a detour in the direction of the West Gate.
Qiao Youhua led all the soldiers to a place about a hundred meters away from the city gate, and hid in the grass on the sorghum field, waiting for Zheng Yunshan to give a signal.
About ten minutes later, three red signal flares suddenly rose in the night sky in the direction of the West Gate, blooming with dazzling brilliance in the dark night.
The Type 95 assault rifle in Qiao Youhua's hand immediately opened fire, and a devil sentry in the city who had already been locked by him was shot in the head on the spot and fell backwards.
"Up!" After Qiao Youhua killed a devil sentry, he shouted an order while moving the muzzle of the gun to aim at the next target.
