The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 742 Continuous Attack (Second Change)

742
Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Major General Kawasaki arrived for dinner as usual.

The battle situation during the day was exactly the same as yesterday, and the Yizhong Eighth Route Army did not adjust its usual raid plan because of the general offensive launched tonight.

The sneak attack troops continued to fire cold guns at the top of the city step by step.

The familiar style of play made Kawasaki mistakenly think that tonight will be the same as usual, and Baoding City will spend another night in a steady stream of sneering guns, without realizing that tonight will be his last night in the world.

Halfway through eating, he threw his chopsticks on the table, not in the mood to continue eating.

"General, can you have some more?" Lieutenant Cun Shang comforted in a low voice.

"No appetite..." Major General Kawasaki shook his head.

"Reinforcement troops will arrive soon. If the Eighth Route Army outside the city does not launch a general offensive, if we continue like this, my carefully arranged counterattack plan will fall short before it begins."

"This is the only chance for our Baoding garrison to save face."

"I'm about to miss it."

"How do you let me eat?"

Lieutenant Commander Cunshang fell silent.

Whether or not to attack Baoding by force requires the commanders of the Eighth Route Army to make a decision. They have their mouths on them, and no matter how anxious they are, they can't change their thinking, let alone do it for them.

But the two of them couldn't keep silent like this, Zhongzuo Cunshang decided to change the subject.

After hesitating for a while, report: "General..."

"The city defense force just reported that the Eighth Route Army outside the city has not made any changes."

"The humble official believes that they will still focus on sneak attacks tonight and continue to consume our troops."

"But this kind of sneak attack cannot go on forever."

"The Eighth Route Army has limited ammunition."

"The humble job specially asked people to count it."

"In the past few days, they have consumed about 2000 shells every night, and in the first night, they have consumed more than [-] shells."

"At this speed, they will run out of shells in five days at most. If they want to attack Baoding, they will have no shells to provide artillery support."

"Beizhi thinks they will attack Baoding City for at most three days."

"Regardless of whether we can counterattack the Eighth Route Army at that time, the troops must go all out to defend Baoding until reinforcements arrive."

"General, you are the commander of the Baoding garrison. Everyone looks at you. You must cultivate your energy and become a role model for everyone."

Major General Kawasaki felt very helpless, but had to accept this reality.

Just as they were about to rest in the room, a thunderous explosion sounded from the city wall.

Stride to the door, raised his head and saw the dazzling flames rising from the top of the city, the sky was dyed red.

"It's an enemy attack... The Yizhong Eighth Route Army wants to storm Baoding!"

Faced with this unexpected accident, Major General Kawasaki was not only not nervous, but became very excited.

The whole person seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and his eyes were shining.

Stride back to the war room: "Immediately contact the city defense force to determine the Eighth Route Army's siege firepower and siege force, and figure out their main attack direction."

"The lurking troops immediately check the equipment and ammunition and prepare for the attack."

"After waiting for so long, I can finally counterattack."

"Tell the soldiers who participated in the war that whether we can avenge our shame and severely injure the Eighth Route Army depends on tonight."

In just 10 minutes, the chief of staff, Lieutenant Zuo Chuan, returned to the war room with the same expression as Major General Kawasaki, very excited.

"General, your counterattack plan is complete."

"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army is indeed storming Baoding."

"Their field artillery battalion, mountain artillery unit, and mortar unit all participated in the battle."

"There are more than one hundred cannons of all kinds, and they are bombarding the city."

"There is a regiment of the Eighth Route Army active in every direction in Baoding, and an assault may be launched at any time."

"The city defense forces are under great combat pressure and request reinforcements."

The smile on Major General Kawasaki's face was wider than before, and he immediately ordered: "There are no reinforcements."

"Tell all the city defense troops that if you persist for half an hour, you can open a gap at the top of the city and let the Eighth Route Army's siege troops enter Baoding."

"But only 500 people can come in from each direction."

"After the ambush is dispatched, the city defense forces must cooperate with them to wipe out all the Eighth Route Army entering the city. I will wait for their good news at the headquarters."

…………

"Boom boom boom..."

The shells of the mountain artillery hit the city head as if they were unnecessary, the flames shot up into the sky, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Countless Japanese and puppet troops were blown up in the explosion, leaving no bones left.

The surviving Japanese and puppet troops all hid behind the battlements, curling up as much as possible to reduce the area of ​​​​their own bullets.

"Baga, the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army are rushing up..."

An exclamation suddenly sounded in the explosion.

The captain of the devil led the team and quickly poked his head out from the crenel.

Hundreds of Eighth Route Army armed with infantry guns, exploded explosive packs, formed skirmish lines, and rushed towards the city head.

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, they want to take advantage of the shelling to get closer to us and shorten the assault distance."

The team leader analyzed with a sullen face.

After punching the battlements hard, the hesitant expression on his face was instantly replaced by firmness, and he ordered decisively.

"The general told us to hold on for half an hour before letting the Eighth Route Army enter the city."

"The battle has just begun, and the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to kill the city."

"Order all the city defense troops to go to the top of the city."

"As soon as the shelling stops, start a counterattack. We can't let every single soldier of the Eighth Route Army get close to the city wall."

The preparations for artillery fire by the Duyi Regiment continued, but in order to block the first wave of strong attack launched by Li Yunlong, the number of Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall not only did not decrease under the artillery fire, but increased more and more.

"Ready to fight……"

The captain of the Devil's Battalion keenly sensed that the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was about to stop, so he drew out his command knife and ordered with a murderous face.

As soon as the voice fell, the explosion sound in the ears began to weaken.

The Japanese and puppet soldiers who had just entered the top of the wall immediately arched their bodies and slowly poked their heads out from the crenel.

The rifles they held in their arms were held in their hands at the same time, stretched out into crenels, and aimed at the Eighth Route Army who was close at hand...

"Rumble..."

Just as they were about to pull the trigger, the sound of a thunderous explosion reached their ears again.

Dozens of explosive packages rolled and smashed towards the top of the city.

Different from the previous scattered attack on the city head, dozens of explosives were all aimed at a section of the city wall that was 300 to [-] meters wide.

Twelve of the explosive packs hit the top of the city, and the explosive packs had a killing radius of nearly 20 meters. With just one round of shooting, the [-]-day puppet troops gathered on this section of the city were completely wiped out.

The east gate city wall, which the devils were defending to the death, was blown out in an instant with a 300-meter-long firepower loophole.

"Boom boom boom..."

The surviving little devil hadn't reacted from the explosion just now, and the sound of the mortar shell explosion sounded again.

Twelve mortars were split into two, and they blasted heavily at the walls on both sides of the fire gap. Dozens of devils who wanted to fill the gap in defense were blown over as soon as they stood up.

"Rumble..."

Three more violent explosions sounded again.

Unlike the previous explosions, these three explosions came from underground.

In the violent explosion, the impenetrable Baoding City Wall trembled several times, just like an earthquake.
