Chapter 1548 Everything is ready, I only owe Dongfeng
Two days have passed, and the brigade commander has not received any good news from the chief of staff, but there is a lot of good news.
When they almost wiped out the Eighth Route Army entering the mountains during two raids, I don't know whether they were lucky or something, but there were always troops to relieve the troops in the encirclement at critical moments.
In the end, it just slipped out of my mouth.
"General, the chief of staff reported that they have been led by the Eighth Route Army in circles in the mountains for the past two days."
"The Eighth Route Army was so cunning that it slipped under their noses twice, but the chief of staff was confident of destroying them."
"Although we did not completely wipe out all the Eighth Route Army troops who entered the mountain, we still killed at least 300 of them through surprise attacks and piecemeal attacks."
"Unless the Eighth Route Army that entered the mountains withdraws from Baoding, the Chief of Staff will be able to completely annihilate them in three days."
The telegram did not mention the casualties of the mopping up troops, and the communications staff officer did not report them. After finishing speaking, he stood in front of the brigade commander and waited for orders.
The brigade commander didn't pay much attention to these things and gave a decisive order: "I don't want the process, I just want the result."
"Call back to the Chief of Staff: Don't be anxious. The mopping up troops must be carried out steadily to annihilate all the Eighth Route Army."
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the brigade headquarters, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down, with only a few staff officers on duty busy inside.
The phone rang very suddenly again, and the staff on duty put down their work at the same time and looked up at the ringing phone.
The communications staff officer quickly grabbed the phone: "Moses Moses...this is the brigade headquarters..."
After listening for less than half a minute, the communications staff officer covered the microphone with his left hand and shouted to the deputy chief of staff on duty: "Sir, it's an emergency and I need you to come and answer the phone in person!"
The deputy chief of staff strode over and took the microphone. After listening for less than two minutes, his expression changed. While returning the microphone to the communications staff officer, he ordered: "You continue to keep in touch with the other party and report any situation as soon as possible."
"You guys need to find out the information about the Toyota Town stronghold immediately, and you have to be quick."
"Something happened there and reinforcements are urgently needed. I will report to the brigade commander now."
The brigade commander walked into the war room three minutes later and asked as he walked: "How many garrison troops are there at the Toyota Town stronghold, how is the equipment, how far is it from the county seat, and are there any other garrison troops around?"
The staff officer who had prepared the information quickly reported: "Your Excellency General, the Toyota Town stronghold is 18 kilometers away from us. There is a reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army and two companies of the Imperial Association Army stationed there, with a total strength of nearly 400 people."
"Equipment with three mortars, three heavy machine guns, and fifteen light machine guns..."
"Except for the county town, there are no other garrisons in the surrounding area."
The brigade commander's face was obviously more solemn than when he first came in, and he continued to ask: "How many Eighth Route Army troops are attacking the Toyota Town stronghold, and how long can they hold out?"
After hearing the order, the communications staff immediately covered the microphone and reported: "The stronghold reported that the Eighth Route Army attacking them has two companies, equipped with four mortars, three torpedo cannons, and at least four heavy machine guns."
"The outer defense line of the stronghold has been breached, and three bunkers have been blown up."
"Without reinforcements, the stronghold can last up to three days!"
The deputy chief of staff suddenly reminded: "Your Majesty General, I thought of the Nanyan Town stronghold being captured by the Eighth Route Army a few days ago!"
"The methods of the two attacks are almost identical, and the attacking troops are also similar. They are both equipped with mortars and thunder cannons. Could this Eighth Route Army be the same as the Eighth Route Army that previously attacked the Nanyan Town stronghold?"
"The Eighth Route Army attacking the Nanyan Town stronghold is being chased by the Chief of Staff and is in danger."
"In order to prevent their entire army from being destroyed, the Eighth Route Army, which wanted to establish a base in Baoding, dispatched a new force to attack the Toyota Town stronghold, attacking from the east and west, and relieving the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Nanyan Town?"
This idea came to the brigade commander's mind after listening to the duty staff report, and after listening to the deputy chief of staff's analysis, this idea immediately became firm.
Frowning, he replied: "It's very possible!"
"But the Eighth Route Army underestimated the strength of our Baoding garrison."
"No matter what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is to attack the stronghold of Toyota Town, I will not touch the Chief of Staff."
"They are about to win. It is a taboo for military strategists to mobilize them now. I am not stupid."
"There are more than 6,000 troops stationed in Baoding City. Can we mobilize more than 1,000 troops out of the city?"
"Order the Second Infantry Brigade and the Second Battalion of the Imperial Association Army to assemble out of the city immediately to reinforce the Toyota Town stronghold."
"Regardless of whether the Toyota Town stronghold can be saved or not, they must annihilate all the Eighth Route Army attacking the Toyota Town stronghold and teach the other Eighth Route Army an unforgettable lesson."
One day has passed, and the chief of staff who reinforced Nanyan Town has not yet sent back any good news...
The troops reinforcing Toyota Town also came to nothing. Not only were they attacked twice by the Eighth Route Army with firepower on the way to reinforcements, but the stronghold of Toyota Town was also lost.
Even if there was no order from the brigade commander to annihilate all opponents, the Japanese captain who led the team could not bear the bad breath and vowed to kill the Eighth Route Army that raided him last night and avenge his subordinates who died in the battle, otherwise he would definitely lose his face.
It's a completely do-or-die situation.
At nine o'clock in the evening, after confirming that both attacking troops were in no danger, the brigade commander finally thought of entering the transport team in Baoding tomorrow.
The order before going to bed: "The Third Infantry Brigade set out at one o'clock in the morning, marched quickly to the connection point, and escorted the weapons and ammunition of the southward front army into Baoding City!"
The enemy headquarters in front of the garrison, Li Hao's long-awaited moment finally arrived.
"Head of the regiment, the political commissar sent an urgent message: The Japanese southward transport team will enter Baoding early tomorrow morning, rest in Baoding city tomorrow night, and leave Baoding the day after tomorrow to continue southward." Hong Linfeng's face was already full of joy, and he reported excitedly.
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!" Li Hao stood up from his chair excitedly and strode to the map to order.
"Send a telegram to First Battalion Commander Huang Sheng: Give me the Japanese and puppet troops who will hunt him down tomorrow night, and then head towards Baoding."
"He holds a main battalion and two company-sized guerrillas in his hands, so there should be no problem. Moreover, the Japanese and puppet troops were led by him around the mountains for several days and have long since been thinned out."
"Send a telegram to the commander of the third battalion, Huang Sheng, to command the third and fourth battalions, and the guerrillas who are cooperating with their actions, to find a way to kill the Japanese and puppet troops who are chasing them tomorrow night, and then turn around and head towards Baoding City."
"Four main battalions, five, six, seven and eight, and the cavalry battalion, set out in the early morning to divide their forces and sneak into Baoding."
"Each main battalion is responsible for the ten-kilometer section that the Japanese transport team will take after entering Baoding. It is up to you, Chief of Staff, to arrange who is responsible for which section."
"After the transport teams entered their respective defense areas, they launched attacks in squads and platoons, killing and injuring a large number of Japanese and puppet troops. Whoever kills more kidnappers and suffers less casualties will get greater credit."
"The raid mission is completed, and each battalion is lurking on the spot. After dark, the banner of our garrison regiment is raised, and we march towards Baoding City with great fanfare. One main battalion is responsible for one direction, regardless of main attack and assist, and takes down the outer defense line of Baoding City in the shortest time.
, surrounded Baoding City."
"The air defense battalion, the heavy artillery battalion, the transport battalion, the tank company, and the guard battalion will set off at dark tomorrow night, march into Baoding with great fanfare, and attack the city of Baoding."
"The regiment headquarters and the guard battalion entered Baoding together."
