Chapter 779 A shot is a killer move (first update)
In Baoding city south garrison, minus the two infantry squadrons that took over the city defense fortifications, most of the remaining brigade little devils are allowed to garrison here.

Before it was dark, seven or eight hundred little devils got into the barracks to rest.

As the head of the division said, the troops drove most of the night last night, and there were constant sneak attacks along the way. Every soldier was nervous and very tired, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

At eight o'clock in the evening, there was no one living in Nuoda's camp, and there were constant snoring sounds coming from the barracks.

In a yard about 500 meters away from the devil's garrison, two members of the Special Forces sat facing each other, with a detonator in front of them, connected to four telephone lines, and went underground along the corner of the wall.

This is a real gift prepared by Huang Yu and Gangcun Ningci.

Five hundred catties of high explosives were buried in each garrison, and they were deliberately buried in the barracks area with the most complicated environment.

In order to confuse the little devils who entered the city and keep the secrets, a large number of landmines were deliberately placed in the resident to attract the devils' attention and reduce the risk of explosive exposure.

The purpose of doing so has obviously been achieved.

After hundreds of landmines were lifted out by the engineers, not only ordinary little devils, but even Neiji Okamura gasped in fright, thinking that the Eighth Route Army had no other way to threaten the safety of the garrison in the city.

"almost……"

A team member glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and whispered a reminder.

The other team member nodded, and after looking at each other, they stretched out their right hands at the same time and pressed them on the detonator.

A group of orange-red fireballs suddenly rose from the ground of the barracks, the roof was overturned at the same time, and flew into the sky, then the second group, the third group...

In the blink of an eye, the three rows of barracks in the south of the city were blown to pieces.

The flames and black smoke rising into the sky also formed dozens of huge mushroom clouds over the station.

"Rumble..."

It wasn't until then that the violent explosion reached the ears of the two team members, and the ground under their feet trembled twice, which showed how powerful the explosion was just now.

"Arrange booby traps... Withdraw..."

A team member pulled out the booby trap that had been arranged in advance, stood up and walked out of the room.

The two team members, one in front and one behind, quickly disappeared into the night, as if they had never been here before.

Neiji Okamura was still asleep at this time, and was contacting the Front Army Command through the radio to determine the specific time for the third wave of reinforcements and weapons to go south.

When the sound of the explosion came into the war room, Neiji Okamura was drinking tea from this teacup.

His hands trembled in fright, and the boiling hot tea was instantly spilled on his clothes. He grinned so hot that he almost scolded his mother.

After a while, he stood up from the chair, grabbed the binoculars on the table, and ran to the door.

The largest fireball that rose from the station in the south of the city was more than 20 meters high, and it was particularly dazzling under the darkness of night, and it could be seen clearly without a telescope.

Okamura Ningji's face darkened instantly, and the previous good mood disappeared at this moment, and he judged in a voiceless voice: "It must be the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."

"I just said they won't give up Baoding to us easily."

"Sure enough, I stayed behind."

"The explosion just now was very powerful, and it was definitely not caused by shells and mines."

"Contact the garrison in the south of the city immediately to find out the situation, the sooner the better."

"The headquarters also sent people to investigate. We will use two prongs. I will receive relevant reports within 10 minutes."

Neiji Okamura just turned around and returned to the war room when the phone rang in a hurry. The operator's face changed after listening for a minute, and he hurriedly covered the microphone to report.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"The explosion just now was caused by an unknown attack on the station in the south of the city."

"All the barracks were leveled in the explosion."

"The troops who took over the city defense have sent people back to the station to investigate, and news should come back soon."

"It's gunpowder..."

A combat staff officer suddenly yelled, with a sudden realization expression on his face at the same time.

Seeing Neiji Okamura still looking outside with a masked expression, he quickly explained: "I saw a battle report when I was studying the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."

"The above said that the Eighth Route Army planted explosives in our army's garrison ahead of time, and then detonated the explosives suddenly after the troops moved in, causing us a lot of casualties, thus defeating the strong with the weak and defeating us."

"The explosion just now was definitely not caused by shells or mines, it could only be gunpowder."

"The humble official suspects that the Eighth Route Army is repeating its old tricks."

"Before the evacuation of Baoding, not only a large number of landmines were placed in the garrison, but also a large amount of black powder was buried in the barracks area."

"The reconnaissance troops were so focused on the mines that they didn't notice the mines."

"The Eighth Route Army can wait for all the garrison troops to enter the barracks to sleep, and then suddenly detonate explosives, killing and injuring them in large numbers."

Except for the explanation of the combat staff officer, Okamura Ningji couldn't think of other reasons, and he believed it [-]% to [-]% immediately.

Quickly ordered several combat staff officers: "Quickly contact the east, west, and north of the city."

"Immediately evacuate the barracks and stay away from the station."

"The Eighth Route Army can plant explosives in the south of the city, and it can also plant explosives in the east of the city. We have to guard against it."

"Hurry up, or it will be too late."

"Rumble..."

Several combat staff officers grabbed the microphones and were just about to make a call when the explosion from the east of the city just reached Neji Okamura's ears. Compared with the explosion that sounded from the south of the city, it was far worse.

"Baga, it must be that the station in the east of the city was also bombed by the Eighth Route Army..." Neji Okamura cried out, and the solemn expression between his brows became more and more serious.

"Boom..." Two more bursts were transmitted to the war room.

Neiji Okamura couldn't sit still anymore, and went straight to the roof of the war room with a telescope.

Standing here, you can see most of Baoding City from a condescending height.

The huge fireball rising from the station in the west of the city was clearly visible, and the billowing smoke rose into the sky at the same time. Just by looking at this posture, one can imagine how powerful the explosion was just now.

"Haven't you checked yet..." Okamura Ningji asked while watching.

"How many explosives did the Eighth Route Army plant in the four garrisons, and how many casualties were there?"

"Apart from the four garrisons, are there any other places in the city where explosives are buried?"

"A large number of landmines were also removed by engineers at the headquarters under our feet. Could it be that high explosives were also bought?"

Neiji Okamura didn't say that he was fine, but when he said that the captain of the guard next to him became anxious, for fear that an accident would happen to the commander here.

His face suddenly turned pale, he turned his head and gave orders to the subordinates beside him.

"No, the headquarters is in danger..."

"Quick, immediately protect the Commander and transfer."

"Notify the engineers to re-check the headquarters and confirm that there are no explosives before returning."

"Speed ​​up..."

Neiji Okamura waved his hand and refused: "Stop for me."

"If the Eighth Route Army really planted explosives in the headquarters, do you think I still have a chance to stand on the roof and observe the battle?"

"The Eighth Route Army will definitely blow up the headquarters first, and won't give me any chance to transfer."

"Don't worry, I was just making an analogy. The Yizhong Eighth Route Army probably wouldn't plant explosives here."

"This place is different from other places. Engineers and guards must search again and again. The exposure risk of planting explosives here is too great to be worthwhile."

Neiji Okamura spoke clearly, but the captain of the guard was still worried that the commander would continue to stay here and take risks.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. As the captain of Neiji Okamura's guard, he does not allow any accidents to happen within the scope of his duties, otherwise he will put the commander in danger and ruin his hard-working military career for half his life.

He went to Okamura Ningji again and asked for instructions: "Your Excellency, Commander...""

"For your safety, for the future of the North China Front Army Command, and for the overall situation, you must come here immediately."

"Even if you send the humble job to the military, the humble job must accompany someone to protect you when you leave."

After speaking, he said to the guard at the side: "What are you still doing?"

"Hurry up and protect His Excellency Commander to leave the headquarters."

Neiji Okamura was held up by the guards. As soon as he left the headquarters, the bad news was sent over.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander..."

"The Eighth Route Army buried at least five hundred catties of high explosives in the south of the city..."

"The three rows of barracks in the station were all razed to the ground."

"The two infantry squadrons staying at the garrison, half a mortar squadron, half a heavy machine gun squadron, an engineering squad, an infantry artillery squad, and a reinforced mountain artillery squadron...a total of more than 400 imperial troops were buried..."

"The rescue team found the telephone wires used by the Eighth Route Army to detonate the explosives around the explosion site, and all of them were buried deep underground."

"Use mine cover to avoid sapper mine detectors."

"Troops are running down phone lines looking for a detonator and should have results soon.

"Your Excellency, Commander..." A combat staff officer hurried over from the headquarters.

"The humble job just contacted the city defense force in the east of the city."

"Their garrison was also razed to the ground in the explosion just now. Except for the guard post at the gate and the patrol team, the remaining troops were almost wiped out."

"Your Excellency, Commander..." A communications staff officer ran over after hearing the news and reported with a serious face.

"The garrison in the west of the city was also razed to the ground in the explosion just now, and the garrison in the west of the city suffered more than 700 casualties..." A phone call rushed over to report.

"I found it..." A combat staff officer ran over in rough clothes.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the South City Garrison reported that they followed the clues and successfully found the detonator of the Eighth Route Army."

"But the Eighth Route Army had laid booby traps in advance, the detonator was destroyed on the spot, and the Eighth Route Army that detonated the explosives was not there."

"Bageyalu, do you think they are stupid pigs?" Neji Okamura scolded angrily.

"It took so long for the gunpowder to explode, the Eighth Route Army didn't run away and waited for you to catch it."

"But no matter how they move, they can't escape Baoding City."

"Immediately transfer two more brigades into the city from outside the city. With the squadron as the unit, I will search from house to house. We must find the culprit who detonated the explosives."

"Four garrisons were bombed. At least 2000 of our soldiers were killed. They couldn't die in vain. Chinese people must be buried with them."

"Go and deploy troops now..."

"All the gendarmerie went out to patrol the streets, and when they found migrant Chinese, they killed them without questioning them."

"I don't believe we have so many Kwantung Army, we can't even find a few Eighth Route Army."

"Make arrangements now. I want to see people when I'm born, and I want to see corpses when I die."
