According to the results agreed upon at the meeting, the existing four infantry divisions and three armored divisions in Wei County were divided into two routes, one under the command of Ma Cao, under the jurisdiction of the guard division, the 101st division, and the first armored division.

The other road is commanded by Yang Yi, under the jurisdiction of the 222nd Division, the Duqi Division, the 2nd Armored Division, the 3rd Division, the route of the army is Wei County, Taohua Town, Yi County, and the most Lu and Ma Cao and others joined forces under the city of Baoding.

Of course, Chen Feng also has ambushes all the way, that is, the special forces led by Xu Bao, the main task of this army is to assassinate the Japanese commander, destroy the important strongholds and military facilities of the Japanese army, and there are some secret tasks explained by Chen Feng.

At 3 o'clock in the morning on December 8th, the general offensive began, and the product battlefield, Chengde battlefield, and Yangqu battlefield, which had just been silent for a short time, launched an attack on the Japanese army at the same time.

In the face of the steel torrent composed of T34 tanks, the resistance of the Japanese army seemed so pale and powerless, and the defenders of a reinforced infantry brigade and a puppet army reinforcement regiment in Laiyuan County only lasted less than 2 hours before completely collapsed, and after more than 2,000 days of puppet troops were killed by a third, they all obediently laid down their weapons and surrendered to Ma Cao and others.

The Japanese puppet army in Taohua Town was the same, more than 500 defenders saw the phalanx of more than 1,000 tanks, and only resisted for 10 minutes before ending with the puppet army uprising on the battlefield. Most of the Japanese troops in a reinforced squadron were killed, and a small part chose to surrender.

By three o'clock in the afternoon of the 8th, the First Route Army commanded by Ma Cao was very smoothly approaching the city of Baoding, and the Second Route Army commanded by Yang Yi also successfully captured Yixian, and the army was on the way to Baoding.

Baoding City is now completely chaotic, although there was a whole infantry brigade and an infantry division of the puppet army, 1 cavalry regiment in the city before, plus the gendarmerie, puppet police, etc., the total strength is about 12,000 people, but the front line of the deer was attacked by China. When the army attacked, the front army headquarters transferred an infantry brigade and a puppet infantry division from Baoding to reinforce it. So now there are only some Japanese military police and pseudo-police left in the city. In addition, there are several thousand soldiers in the countryside who are working in the homeland to form the Overseas Self-Defense Force.

However, according to the news from the front, the Chinese army dispatched thousands of heavy chariots this time, not to mention their thousands of miscellaneous soldiers, even if it is 50,000 or 60,000 regular troops, it is not necessarily an opponent of others. The gap in quality is definitely not something that can be bridged by quantity. Therefore, whether to fight or defend made Major General Akiyama, commander of the Japanese Baoding garrison brigade, very entangled.

"Sato. Did the telegram go out, and could the Front Command have a response? Major General Akiyama asked uneasily.

"Report to Your Excellency, Commander, that the telegram has been sent. But there has been no response from the Front's side! Captain Sato said tremblingly.

"Baga, immediately send a report to the front army headquarters for instructions!"

"Hay!" After speaking, Captain Sato hurriedly retreated.

As soon as Captain Sato withdrew from the office, a distraught Major General Akiyama shouted outside the office, "Guards! ”

A senior soldier standing outside the door hurriedly came in and asked, "Your Excellency, Commander!" ”

"Go and get Miss Shizuko and Mr. Hojo!" Major General Akiyama said in a deep voice.

"Hay!"

Li Zong was in a very chaotic mood now, and yesterday he received a secret telegram from the commander, saying that the army would launch a general attack on the Japanese army in the early hours of this morning, and the direction of the general attack would be Baoding. If nothing else, at most this afternoon, the army will be able to come to the city of Baoding, and the commander ordered them to assist the army to open the city gate at a critical time and welcome the army into the city.

It's no problem to assist the army in combat, but Li Zong is worried about how the commander will deal with Major General Akiyama, although Major General Akiyama has little to do with him, but Major General Akiyama's sister Akiyama Shizuko has an unusual relationship with Li Zong, after such a long time together, Li Zong and Major General Akiyama's sister Akiyama Shizuko love each other, although neither of the two people has shown their hearts, but they can feel each other's hearts.

If Shizuko is a Chinese girl, then whether it is a rich lady or an ordinary rural girl, Li Zong will definitely marry her without hesitation. But the problem is that Shizuko is a Japanese woman, and she is also the sister of a Japanese major general. With his status and position, neither his brother nor his commander could agree to him marrying a Japanese woman, and Major General Akiyama could not let his sister marry a Chinese, let alone a Chinese soldier.

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

"Come in!"

"President, Your Excellency Akiyama, please come over with Miss Shizuko!" A samurai came in and said.

"Well, Zhilu said, immediately call back to His Excellency Akiyama, and say that I will go over immediately!" Li Zongdao.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Li Zong sighed and said, "Shizuko, your brother invited us over, let's go!" ”

Shizuko Akiyama didn't speak, but slowly walked to Li Zong's side and looked at him quietly, very carefully, very carefully!

"What's wrong, Shizuko?" Li Zong asked softly.

"Hojo-kun, are you really going to see my brother?" Shizuko Akiyama asked seriously.

"Oh, why don't you go?"

"Hojo-kun, let's just call you Hojo, you're not Japanese, aren't you, you're a subordinate of His Excellency Chen Feng, don't lie to me, okay!" Shizuko Akiyama said without surprise.

Seeing that Li Zong seemed to be about to refute, Shizuko Akiyama continued: "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, you can see that you people have undergone strict training, and all your living habits and languages are according to the pattern of normal Japanese people. But after all, you're not really Japanese, and if you're not a person you've been with for a long time, you might not be able to see anything. However, after spending a long time with you, your flaws are revealed, such as the habit of many of you spitting, which is not allowed in Japan. We Japanese believe that not spitting is a sign of respect for others and a sense of responsibility to society, and that it represents a level of personal upbringing. There are also some subtle details that you have never been truly Japanese, such as you often give me chrysanthemums, and you give a lot of them, but in fact, in Japan, ordinary people can only give chrysanthemums with fifteen petals, and the royal coat of arms only has sixteen chrysanthemums. There are many more things like that, so you're not a Japanese at all! ”

After listening to Shizuko Akiyama's words, Li Zong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he felt that he had done well enough, and he was no different from the real Japanese, but now it seems that they have not done enough, and it can be said that there are many loopholes.

"Shizuko, when did you find out?" Li Zong asked with a frown

"It's been a long time, but Shizuko hasn't dared to confirm it, until the last time you easily rescued me and my brother from His Excellency Chen Feng's army, I was sure that Hojo must be His Excellency Chen Feng's subordinates, because my brother was the only imperial general who survived the siege of His Excellency Chen Feng!" Shizuko Akiyama replied.

"Then did you say anything to Lord Akiyama?" In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all, if Shizuko Akiyama and Major General Akiyama said it, then they would not have had a chance to stand here at all.

"No, Shizuko doesn't want anything to happen to you!" Then Shizuko Akiyama said: "This time, His Excellency Chen Feng is determined to capture Baoding, and with his brother's current strength, he won't be able to last long, so if Shizuko doesn't say the question in his heart again, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to speak again!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Li Zong had no choice but to admit: "I am indeed not Japanese, and of course my surname is Hojo, my name is Li Zong, and I am an officer under General Chen Feng of the Eighth War Zone of the Nationalist Government, and I was ordered to infiltrate Baoding to carry out military affairs. ”

Hearing Li Zong's personal admission, Shizuko Akiyama couldn't help but burst into tears, she knew the distance between them very well, putting aside the ethnic differences, the deep hatred between the two countries alone was an invisible chasm, and it was impossible between them in this life.

"I've always deceived myself, thinking that you just live in a closed mountain forest, and you only know the ancient etiquette between those samurai, and you are not used to the human etiquette of modern Chinese people, but facts are always facts, and wishful thinking will only deceive yourself." Speaking of this, Shizuko Akiyama suddenly stepped forward and hugged Li Zong, and then gently said in Li Zong's ear: "Hojo, you are Shizuko's Hojo-kun, the eternal Hojo-kun!" "When it comes to the worst, the voice is getting lower and lower!

Li Zong suddenly realized that something was wrong, and when he looked at it, he found that Shizuko was inserting a short-bladed dagger in his chest, and the entire dagger had been completely gone, and all of them were inserted.

"Shizuko, Shizuko, you have to hold on, I'll call the doctor!" Li Zong shouted loudly!

"Hojo-kun's useless dagger is coated with poison, originally this dagger Shizuko used to prevent you, but I didn't expect the final result to be that Shizuko would stick this dagger in his chest, cough cough.!" Shizuko Akiyama said intermittently.

"Shizuko, why are you bothering! Are you going to make me guilty for the rest of my life! Li Zong said loudly.

"Hojo-kun promised Shizuko one thing!"

"You say! As long as I can do it, I will never refuse! ”

"Brother Rao will not die to persuade him to surrender" After the last sentence with difficulty, Shizuko Akiyama's pupils lost focus.

"I promise you, as long as your brother agrees to surrender, I will personally intercede with the commander and never let your brother be harmed in any way! I swear! Li Zong whimpered.

The corners of Shizuko Akiyama's mouth rose slightly with difficulty, as if she wanted to express something, but in the end, she spurted out a mouthful of blood and her arm hung down (to be continued......
