The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"I think the key to conquering Baoding City is still on the South Railway."

Huang Yu pointed to the analysis of the railway line running through the entire Baoding on the map.

"In the past, the special operations team only destroyed a few hundred meters of railway lines each time, leading the Baoding garrison to go to war and encircle and wipe them out at all costs."

"If we destroy more than ten kilometers of railway lines at one time, the railway will be interrupted for more than half a month."

"The Japanese army in Baoding will definitely go crazy."

"Maybe Neji Okamura will come to Baoding again."

"The more anxious they are, the more holes will be exposed on the battlefield, and the more opportunities we will have."

"I'm going to attack the railway line..." Li Yunlong rushed to answer.

Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong's careful thinking at a glance, and immediately retorted: "Old Li..."

"If you want to take advantage, you can't go too far."

"The strongholds and outposts along the railway have stored a large amount of ammunition and supplies. The result of laying down a stronghold is no less than we wiped out a reinforced squadron on the battlefield."

"You kid really dare to think."

"If you enclose all the gun towers and outposts along the railway line, all the benefits will go into your pocket."

"I know you too well."

"It has always been the master who can only get in and out."

"The Duer Regiment is also short of ammunition and supplies, so the two of us fight half of it."

Li Yunlong didn't feel embarrassed when his old comrades saw through his small thoughts, and replied cheekily and naturally: "Half is half..."

"How about we compare."

"In just one night, see who takes down the most gun towers and outposts, and whoever blows up the railway chief."

Not to be outdone, Kong Jie replied: "Okay, just do it..."

Seeing that the two regiment leaders had already assigned tasks, Huang Yu couldn't compete with them, so he nodded and replied, "Then I will be in charge of monitoring the Baoding garrison."

"The troops withdrew from the battle before dawn, dispersed and concealed."

"The operation will start promptly at eight o'clock tomorrow night."

"Let's play one night first."

"According to the response of the Baoding garrison, the next step of action will be determined."

…………

Ningji Okamura, at the headquarters of the North China Front Army of the Japanese Army in Beiping, was about to go mad with anger.

He dropped almost all the things that could be dropped in the room, but he still didn't feel relieved, so he drew out his command knife and chopped off the corner of the table.

His original plan was to use the minimum cost to make Major General Fujita retreat, give up the position of commander of the Baoding garrison, and slap the Kwantung Army in the face by the way.

As a result, the Kwantung Army was slapped in the face, and the Baoding Garrison also paid the loss of three brigades.

In the last major raid, the Baoding garrison suffered heavy casualties.

Now that three brigades have been wiped out, the already insufficient number of them has suddenly become fewer.

Even if Major General Kawasaki succeeded in taking over the post of commander of the Baoding Garrison, it would be difficult to turn the tide under such circumstances, defeat the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing, and ensure the safety of the southward railway.

"Report..." Major General Kawasaki appeared at the door of the war room.

He strode up to Neiji Okamura: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have been ordered to report here, please instruct..."

"You should have guessed the purpose of calling you here, right?" Okamura Neiji didn't expect Kawasaki-sama to come so quickly, so he didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly.

"Hai..."

Major General Kawasaki nodded and answered boldly: "The Baoding garrison lost two infantry brigades overnight, and the railway was also severely damaged by the attack of the Eighth Route Army in the middle of the wing."

"Even if the commander doesn't summon you, the humble officer will come and report the information."

"The Eighth Route Army in the Yizhong dispatched at least two main regiments to attack our army's southward railway."

"Deducting losses, there are only three full-staffed infantry brigades left in the Baoding garrison, one cavalry brigade, one chariot brigade, and one heavy artillery brigade."

"Half of the troops will stay in Baoding, and at most 2000 people will be deployed to protect the southward railway."

"There is a serious shortage of troops."

"The garrison in Baoding alone will definitely not be able to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the wings along the railway line."

Neiji Okamura said very satisfied: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

"You can recognize your own shortcomings and don't rush forward. This is better than Fujita-kun."

"That's why I called you here."

Having said that, Neiji Okamura suddenly waved to the Chief of Staff: "Except for you and Kawasaki-kun, the others go out first..."

After everyone left and the war room was surrounded by guards, Ningji Okamura spoke again.

"After coordination, the Kwantung Army agreed to reinforce our mixed brigade."

"The three forward teams are already in place, and they are hiding at the Beiping Railway Station on standby."

"I plan to use them to catch the Eighth Route Army by surprise."

"The specific battle plan is as follows..."

…………

On the [-]-kilometer railway line northeast of Baoding, a military column was slowly heading south, breathing black smoke.

The machine guns mounted on the roof of the first and last carriages fired around from time to time, and the two rapid-fire guns roared continuously.

Under their deterrence, the military column marched southward from Beiping for more than 100 kilometers without any attack.

"Rumble..."

Amidst the thunderous explosion, a ball of fire suddenly shot up one kilometer in front of the military column. The dazzling fire was 30 meters high, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

The little devil driver trembled in fright, quickly braked to slow down, and at the same time rang the alarm bell of the military column.

A row of machine gun barrels quickly protruded from the shooting holes on the front and rear carriages, aiming at the surroundings, ready to fire at any time.

The military column stopped less than 100 meters from the explosion point.

The railway where the explosion site was located had been blown apart, and the two rails were split into two, cocked high like twists.

If the military column does not stop, it will crash at high speed.

The huge inertia will definitely cause the military column to rush off the rails, roll over on both sides of the railroad, and the cars will be destroyed.

"Da da da... boom boom..."

Intensive gunfire soon came from the two carriages at the front and rear of the military column.

At some point less than 400 meters away from the military column, a large number of figures appeared, armed with various weapons, rushing towards the train in skirmish lines.

The little devil who escorted the car was desperately scrambling to intercept, trying to prevent the Eighth Route Army from approaching the military column.

"Rumble..."

Several more violent explosions sounded on the railway.

Several large holes were blown out of the two carriages where the little devil in the escort car was. Billowing black smoke came out of the holes, and the sound of guns was [-]% to [-]% less than before. Only six or seven machine guns were still firing.

This little firepower obviously couldn't stop the Eighth Route Army rushing towards the military ranks all over the mountains and plains.

After a while, the military column was surrounded by hundreds of Eighth Route Army regiments.

The remaining six or seven machine guns of the escorting troops also misfired in the second round of the mountain cannon.

The Eighth Route Army was completely out of threat, and the soldiers split up and went straight to each carriage of the army train.

The attack distance has also dropped sharply from 400 meters to the current 80 meters.

Another quick blitz can kill the deer hunter and capture the army column.

"Haha... Well done..." Right behind the attacking troops, Li Yunlong held up his binoculars to observe the battle, applauding while watching.

"Shanpao is indeed a mountain cannon, and the carriage looks like paper in front of them."

"The little devils escorting the car are over, the troops rushed up to transfer the spoils."

"We, Li Yunlong, managed to lay down a military column, and we must transport all the spoils back."
