The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Enemy attack..."

When Major General Kawasaki was about to continue asking two questions, an exclamation not far away suddenly reached his ears.

At the same time, harsh sirens sounded from the top of the city.

The three flares then rose into the sky, and burned rapidly at the highest point, turning into three balls of dazzling white light, which were illuminated into daylight by the inside and outside of the city wall in an instant.

Major General Kawasaki hurriedly looked out of the city along the battlements, and a few scattered Eighth Route Army suddenly appeared in the open space five to six hundred meters away.

Lie on the ground, digging a hole with an engineer shovel.

"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army really wants to attack Baoding City." Major General Kawasaki said with a cold snort.

Cunshang Zhongzuo flattered him: "The general is wise..."

"Fortunately, you issued the retreat order in time, so that the garrison outside the city and the garrison along the railway line will rush back to Baoding today."

"If it was later, these thousands of troops would be blocked outside the city by the Eighth Route Army, and they would be defeated one by one."

"Now we have more than 1 people, and Baoding City's extremely strong fortifications can be defended."

"Not only are we not afraid of the Eighth Route Army's attack."

"Instead, I hope that they will be beaten to death outside the city."

After flattering her, she changed the subject and continued.

"General..."

"There are Eighth Route Army infantry activities outside the city."

"It's probable that their artillery came too."

"The head of the city may be attacked by artillery fire at any time."

"For safety's sake, you must leave here immediately and go to the headquarters."

Major General Kawasaki shook his head: "Don't worry..."

"Before I leave, I have to kill a few Eighth Route Army troops."

"Otherwise, I will come to the city for nothing."

"Artillery, heavy machine gun units, immediately aim at the Eighth Route Army outside the city."

"Fire in 1 minute, kill them for me."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets quickly covered dozens of Eighth Route Army troops within sight.

Although they were scattered, there were no trenches to hide in.

In order to let Major General Kawasaki return to the headquarters earlier, Lieutenant Zuo Cunshang took great pains.

Assemble a full twelve mortars to launch an attack. With the advantage of numbers, a blind cat can kill a lot of people by killing a mouse.

Major General Kawasaki witnessed the two Eighth Route Army being blown up with his own eyes, his face burst into joy, and he said excitedly.

"Yosie, the artillery is doing very well, keep firing..."

Cunshang Zhongzuo took the opportunity to propose: "General..."

"The Eighth Route Army outside the city will surely die."

"If they were armed with mortars, too."

"A counterattack may be launched against us at any time, this place is dangerous, you must leave immediately."

The wish was fulfilled, Major General Kawasaki did not want to embarrass his subordinates too much, and immediately ordered: "Return to the headquarters."

"Notify other city defense forces."

"The Eighth Route Army besieging us is here..."

"The city defense forces don't need to save ammunition. They will beat me hard when they see the Eighth Route Army, so that they can't gain a foothold outside the city and attack us."

"Report immediately to the headquarters if there is any situation."

"Use the radio when the phone disconnects."

"If there is no situation, we should contact you every half an hour to prevent accidents at the top of the city."

…………

When Major General Kawasaki clamored to make the Eighth Route Army look good, Huang Yu, Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong were hiding behind a mound 800 meters away and observing the city.

As a result, just a few minutes after watching it, more than a dozen shells were fired from the city.

Dozens of soldiers in front of them were instantly submerged in the artillery fire, and their life and death were uncertain.

The three of them were fooled by the devil.

After fighting for so many years, I have never seen a little devil fight like this.

He exposed all his cards for the sake of dozens of Eighth Route Army, and he didn't know whether it was the little devil who wanted to kill chickens with a sledgehammer, or whether the commander was dizzy and blew his cards when he came up.

"Old Kong, what do you think?" Li Yunlong asked with a look of disbelief.

"No matter what the purpose of the little devil is, we have no reason not to eat the fat that is brought to our mouths." Kong Jie said expectantly.

Huang Yu interrupted suddenly: "I think so too."

"A large amount of weapons and ammunition are stored in the city, and Okamura Ningji can still be air-dropped when they run out."

"It can be called inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

"But the force is limited."

"If we kill one more player now, the pressure on the general offense will be reduced by one point."

"The devils came up and exposed the artillery positions and heavy machine gun positions."

"It's too much of a pity for their kindness not to knock."

Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the mound in front of him: "Then hit."

"It just so happens that some of my mortar batteries are right behind."

"I will give the order now."

"By the way, cover the infantry and dig out the first trench."

"In this way, we can extend to the city wall step by step."

…………

The Eighth Route Army General Headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief just received a telegram from Yizhong that the Eighth Route Army planned to storm Baoding.

This was the first time that the Eighth Route Army had truly attacked a large city heavily defended by the Japanese army.

Although Kong Jie and Li Yunlong played Taiyuan.

But that was to take advantage of Taiyuan's lack of troops and launch a sneak attack to get into the outer city of Taiyuan by chance.

It is not a real storm, and there is no way to accumulate siege experience.

The battle against Baoding was different.

More than 1 Japanese puppet troops were stationed in the city, with strong fortifications and sufficient ammunition.

The Eighth Route Army in Yizhong has almost no advantage in front of them.

More importantly, the Japanese army calculated in advance that Kong Jie was going to attack Baoding, and they were ready to defend Baoding.

In this way, many tactics and tactics of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army will be useless, and they can only face head-to-head with the Baoding Garrison.

If they can take Baoding under such circumstances, win more with less, and wipe out the Baoding garrison, it will definitely create a precedent for the Eighth Route Army's siege.

At the same time, it also accumulated a lot of combat experience for the Eighth Route Army to attack big cities.

The deputy commander-in-chief saw at a glance the huge benefits and significance that this siege battle might bring to the Eighth Route Army.

From the moment I received the telegram, my whole mind was devoted to this siege battle.

Not only ordered the chief of staff to find all the information related to Baoding, but also called several important staff officers together to discuss the odds of the Eighth Route Army's victory and the tactics they might adopt around the map.

"Chief..." a combat staff officer said.

"Baoding Garrison has too many advantages..."

"I thought about it for a long time and didn't think of an advantage that belongs to us."

"I think the odds of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army winning this tough battle are very low."

"In order to preserve our strength, we should retreat immediately."

Although the other staff officers did not speak, it could be seen from their expressions that they agreed with this conclusion from the bottom of their hearts.

The deputy commander shook his head and looked at the chief of staff: "What do you think?"

"Very close...but it's not like there's no chance of winning." The chief of staff thought for a while and replied.

"Even if the Yizhong Eighth Route Army succeeds in taking Baoding, they will pay a huge price in the battle."

"From the perspective of gains and losses, I do not recommend fighting this battle."

"But Kong Jie and the others insisted on fighting this tough battle, which shows that they have encountered difficulties that must be overcome in Baoding."

"The orders of the generals are not accepted. They understand the situation of the war better than us, and they are more aware of the situation they are facing."

"Since they decide to fight, we have to support it."
