The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 684 Eight Routes Have Second Hands, We Have So Too (Second Change)

Although Li Yunlong's idea is to attack Baoding by force.

But it is much better than the frontal attack he proposed.

Huang Qi obeyed after hearing the order, and stood by Li Yunlong's side closely.

Seeing him frowning for a while, and frowning for a while, his mouth didn't know what he was muttering, and he couldn't help asking: "Deputy head..."

"What did you just say..."

"Nothing?" Li Yunlong shook his head.

"Continue to keep an eye on the top of the city, and report immediately after discovering any changes in the Japanese and puppet troops."

Huang Qi pouted and didn't answer.

He clearly saw it just now, but if Li Yunlong didn't say anything, he couldn't keep staring and asking.

"Deputy head...there is a situation at the top of the city..."

An exclamation instantly attracted everyone's attention. Li Yunlong and Huang Qi raised their binoculars to look at the city at the same time, and their expressions became tense.

The Japanese and puppet troops hid behind the battlements, and they could still be vaguely seen through the battlements.

Many Japanese and puppet troops withdrew their combat positions with weapons and ammunition, and the number of gun barrels protruding from the battlements was obviously reduced by [-] to [-]%.

Li Yunlong looked happy and said: "Ningji Okamura has been fooled..."

"Get the troops ready for battle..."

"The siege will start in 10 minutes, and we must take the top of the city and enter the city within 10 minutes."

After speaking, he reminded Huang Qi again: "Do you still remember the mission of the siege troops after entering the city?"

"Set up a defense line around the city gate quickly to welcome the counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops." Huang Qi replied immediately.

On the way to Ximen, Li Yunlong confessed this matter more than once, and Huang Qi's ears could almost hear the cocoons.

"Remember, you must not rush forward alone..." Li Yunlong was still a little worried and decided to remind him again.

"Don't go crazy just because the Japanese and puppet troops in the west of the city were hit hard by us, and there are no Japanese and puppet troops blocking the way in the city, and go all the way forward."

Then he turned his attention to the guard company: "Your task is to seize the top of the city and cover the Feilei Cannon troops to set up the Feilei Cannon on the top of the city."

"Whether Captain Huang can hold the city gate, stop the counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops, and severely damage the Baoding garrison, the flying thunder cannon is the key."

"We must occupy the top of the city as quickly as possible, and allow enough time for Feilei Cannon to set up the cannon."

"have you understood……"

Ten minutes passed in a flash. Faced with the continuous probing attacks of the city-wide garrison, the Japanese and puppet troops at the head of the city seemed to be numb from the beating, and their counterattack firepower became weaker and weaker.

"It's now……"

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly became very firm, and he ordered decisively.

"The devil's vigilance has been exhausted by us, the artillery covers, the flying thunder cannon rushes up, and the general attack will be launched in 5 minutes..."

"The mountain cannon is aimed at the city gate, and I must give Lao Tzu the first hit to destroy the city gate."

"After the bombing, keep an eye on the city gate and kill all the Japanese and puppet troops who want to block the city gate with sandbags."

"The attacking force is ready for the assault."

"Try to get as close to the city wall as possible when shelling."

"As soon as the artillery preparations are over, I will attack the city head."

"The machine gunner acts as an assaulter. Before receiving an order to retreat, the troops can only move forward and cannot retreat."

…………

A company of the Eighth Route Army appeared outside the west gate again, approaching the city in a skirmish line with guns in hand.

The barrel of the machine gun in the deep battlement immediately spewed out a long string of flames, successfully blocking the attacking troops at a position more than 100 meters outside the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city are no strangers to it.

As before, except for the light and heavy machine guns that continued to fire to suppress the Eighth Route Army's feint attacking troops, all other soldiers hid behind the battlements and waited for repairs.

Little do they know that there are more than 100 Eighth Route Army forces attacking outside the city.

There are only forty or fifty real offensive troops, and the rest are all fly mine gunners.

Lie on the ground, dig a hole on the ground with a bayonet, and bury the launcher of the flying thunder cannon.

"Boom boom boom..."

The propellant soon exploded in the gasoline barrel.

Rapidly burning flames spewed out from the gasoline barrel, and the explosive package in front rolled and flew out, flying towards the city at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flames from the gasoline barrels were particularly dazzling, not only attracting the attention of all the Eighth Route Army, but also many Japanese and puppet troops looking at them.

Machine gun bullets flew head-on, sending sparks flying from the launch tube.

Many gunners were affected, and fell silent in a pool of blood.

The Japanese and puppet troops can also be arrogant for a few seconds.

Explosives the size of a millstone dropped from the sky. Although the hit rate was only [-] to [-]%, there were still six explosives that hit the top of the city.

"Rumble..."

A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded from the top of the city, and orange-red flames rose into the sky, forming huge mushroom clouds.

In just a split second, more than half of the gunshots above the city ceased.

The pressure of the Feilei cannon platoon dropped suddenly, and the gunner who was lying on the side immediately got up and reloaded the propellant into the gasoline barrel, the explosive package...

"Boom boom boom..."

The second round of explosives flew out of the gasoline drum again, and flew towards the city head in a tumbling manner.

This time only four explosive packages hit the city.

But for the Ximen garrison, which suffered heavy casualties, these four explosive packs were enough to be called the last straw that crushed them.

"The trumpeter blows the charge, and everyone who can still move will charge with me and enter Baoding..."

Huang Qi was the first to get up from the ground, holding the box cannon, and rushed out first.

The guard company rushed forward, trying to protect the regiment leader in the middle of the team.

But Huang Qichong's speed is too fast, no matter how hard they catch up, they are still one step behind.

The leader of the Devil Squadron survived the shelling by chance.

When the explosive package exploded more than ten meters away, there happened to be several guards blocking his surroundings and using a human wall to save his life.

Before he could react from the dizziness brought by the shock wave, the sound of the charge horn had already reached his ears.

Looking up and looking outside the city: hundreds of Eighth Route Army are like a group of wild horses, rushing towards the gate of the city.

"Boom..."

Two explosions sounded in the city gate at the same time, and the city wall under the feet trembled twice in the explosion. Billowing thick smoke spewed out from the city gate.

The city gate is an iron-clad wooden structure, and it must not be able to support the mountain cannon to shoot at close range.

Most of the closed city gates have been blown open.

If the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops were allowed to rush into the city gate and enter the city, the whole of Baoding would be over.

Quickly rushed to the side of the machine gun team.

The machine gunner was killed, the machine gun was still good, and fell aside.

Stand on the crenel, hold the butt of the gun with your shoulder, pull the bolt, aim at the attacking troops outside the city and fire.

Shouting while shooting: "All the city defense forces counterattack..."

"Hurry up and fight, stop the Eighth Route Army's attacking troops at all costs..."

"Everyone shoots..."

The squadron leader's voice was almost broken, but there were very few gunshots in response to him.

Taking a quick look around, most of the soldiers lay motionless on the top of the wall, either killed or stunned by the bombing, unable to participate in the battle.

"Crack..." The sound of two empty-bore shots quickly reached the squadron leader's ears, and the crooked handle in his hand misfired at the same time.

He fired out the bullets in the magazine of the machine gun.

There is no assistant shooter around to help reload the bullets, so I can only retract the crooked handle and press the bullets into the magazine by myself.

The speed is not slower than the machine gunner at all, but Huang Qi's attack speed is faster.

The sudden blocking fire killed and wounded many soldiers, but the attack momentum of the city-wide garrison remained unaffected.

Taking advantage of the devil squadron leader's time to change bullets, he suddenly accelerated his assault speed and rushed into the smoky city gate smoothly.

"Da da da... papa papa..."

Machine guns and box cannons continued to fire forward, suppressing the Japanese and puppet troops in the city who wanted to approach the city gate.

"Boom boom boom..."

A few grenades flew over Huang Qi and flew into the city, and several Japanese and puppet troops who were blocking Huang Qi head-on were immediately blown up.

"Machine guns open the way, kill in... da da da..."

Huang Qi rushed forward with a machine gun left by the devil in the city gate, and the crooked handle in his arms roared at the same time.

"Follow me with the company of guards, prepare grenades, cover with machine guns, and occupy the top of the city..." The commander of the guard company rushed to the top of the city with his subordinates with a wave of his hand.

…………

After the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army in Baoding learned that the reinforcements had arrived in the east of the city, Neji Okamura's tense nerves suddenly eased.

The east of the city is the main direction of the Eighth Route Army's attack. If you defend the east of the city, the Eighth Route Army outside the city will not be able to do anything to you.

Their purpose of making a fuss is impossible to achieve.

If the mopping up troops make another breakthrough tomorrow, the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong will undoubtedly be defeated.

Thinking of this, Neiji Okamura seemed to have seen the victory and then waved to him, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

The good mood lasted less than 2 minutes, and the explosion from the west of the city instantly shattered his dream.

The atmosphere at the headquarters became tense again, and the operator kept making calls to the west of the city, asking what happened to the explosion just now.

Several messengers galloped towards the west of the city on fast horses.

In case of phone problems, they can only rely on them to contact the garrison in the west of the city.

Fortunately, the call was quickly connected.

The deputy chief of staff talked to them personally, and frowned after asking a few words.

Covering the microphone, he reported to Ningji Okamura from a long distance away: "The west of the city was attacked by unknown artillery fire from the Eighth Route Army..."

"More than one battalion of the Eighth Route Army attacked them..."

"The city gate was blasted open by the Eighth Route Army's mountain artillery. The city defense troops suffered heavy losses and urgently needed reinforcements..."

After finishing speaking, he confessed a few more sentences to the microphone before putting it down, and walked quickly to Neiji Okamura for analysis.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we seem to have been tricked by the Eighth Route Army..."

"They have been preserving their strength from beginning to end..."

"It's too calm to hide an artillery unit until now."

Neiji Okamura waved his hands in agitation: "What's the use of saying this now..."

"The Eighth Route Army outside the city has backup forces, and so do we."

"Let the reserve team rush to reinforce the west of the city, be sure to repel the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and defend the west of the city."

"Speed ​​up."

After the deputy chief of staff left, Neiji Okamura ordered again: "Contact the garrison in the west of the city, and I will call them personally."

"They are the key to whether we can keep Baoding, and we must not make any mistakes."

The operator quickly shook the phone.

Half a minute passed, and the garrison west of the city did not respond...

1 minute passed, and the phone to the west of the city was still not connected...

The operator's hands were already sweating, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't contact the garrison west of the city.

I had to bite the bullet and report: "Your Excellency Commander... our... phone contact with the West City Garrison... has been cut off..."
