As Asuka Taguchi ordered the chief of staff, Yuichiro Takami, to personally lead more than 300 troops to reinforce the defenders of the West Castle, the six or seven hundred soldiers of the New Regiment who rushed in from the gap in the wall of the West Castle were soon blocked by the reinforcements of Yuichiro Takami.

The two sides immediately launched a fierce street battle in Xicheng District, and on the dark main road of Xicheng, explosions were repeated and gunfire was loud. The flames caused by the explosion lit up the main streets of the entire West City, and the sound of soldiers fighting on both sides resounded in the sky.

"Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff, the infantry weapons of the Chinese army are too strong, they are almost submachine guns and light machine guns, the fire is fast and fierce, the soldiers of the imperial army can't withstand it!" The fierce street battle in Xicheng lasted less than five minutes, and Yuichiro Takami, the commander of the Japanese army in Xicheng, who had come to help and supervise the battle, said with a panicked expression.

At this time, Yuichiro Takami was commanding reinforcements to block the onslaught of Zhou Huayi, and after less than five minutes, Yuichiro Takami also immediately understood the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under the famous Li Yunlong, and his mood suddenly became depressed.

You must know that he personally killed dozens of Chinese soldiers in Yuichiro Takami, and he almost despised Chinese soldiers. It's just that I didn't expect that the soldiers under Li Yunlong's command who attacked Baoding were actually as strong as a warrior?

"Baga Ya Road! If you can't stand it, you have to top it! If Xicheng District is captured by the enemy, the headquarters will be under the peak of the Chinese army. Baoding is a big city, and the city transports grain, grass and ammunition temporarily stored in the city through the Pinghan Railway, and if Li Yunlong takes it away, you and I will die. Order all the soldiers, give me a step of resistance, stop the attack of the Chinese army, and hurry up. ”

Yuichiro Takami will naturally not retreat, and once he evacuates Xicheng District, the morale of the army will be greatly affected. What's more, the consequences of retreating, even Yuichiro Takami didn't dare to bear it.

The grassroots commander of the Japanese army, who reported the battle situation to Yuichiro Takami in fear, could only smile bitterly and responded: "Hai, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, obey your orders. ”。

It's just that although Yuichiro Takami brought the Japanese army and the Japanese puppet army in Xicheng were united with the rout, they retreated layer by layer along the main road and streets of Xicheng to block the attack. But in the face of the new regiment of fighters with the advantage of infantry weapons, they were still defeated and retreated. In the dark street battles, many little devil soldiers and puppet soldiers faced a new group of fighters armed with submachine guns and light machine guns as the main assault melee weapons, and they were in a posture of being crushed by fire.

"Sudden !!"

The independent battalion of the new regiment under Zhou Hua and part of the Zhang Dabiao battalion of the independent battalion, with 6 or 700 people along the main road and street of Xicheng, were reinforced by more than 300 elite Japanese troops led by Yuichiro Takami, and the little devils were defeated and retreated one after another, suffering heavy casualties.

The assault fire, composed of submachine guns and light machine guns, hit Yuichiro Takami with an indomitable momentum, making Yuichiro Takami miserable.

"Up, cover on the left flank, cover, hit me on the right flank. Frontal brothers, fire strike, give me all the attack! ”

Zhou Hua, the commander of the independent battalion who attacked the city from the gap in the city wall of Xicheng, was personally directing the men and horses of the post headquarters and part of the first battalion to attack the Japanese headquarters in the inner city of Baoding along the main road and streets of Xicheng with all his might.

In the midst of the roar, everyone in the new group of soldiers was extremely excited, and with their superior assault firepower, they suddenly beat Yuichiro Takami unable to parry, and could only retreat urgently, entangling Zhou Hua's troops in the street battle.

The battle in Xicheng was very fierce, and at this time, Zhang Dabiao's department, who was responsible for feinting to attack the northern city, suddenly attacked some of the men and horses divided by Zhou Hua, who had entered through the gap in the Xicheng city wall, and hit the back of the gate of the northern city.

The battle of Beicheng was very smooth, with some of the men and horses sent by Zhou Hua, who entered the city in a roundabout way, sneaked up on the defenders of the North City Gate of the little devil from behind, captured the North City Gate in one fell swoop, and Zhang Dabiao's troops who responded to the siege of the city successfully entered the city.

And this hand made Taguchi Asuka, who was in the city headquarters at this time, unable to sit still.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency Shaozuo, the North City Gate has also been lost! The Chinese army, which came in from the western city, sent some men and horses to attack behind the north gate in a roundabout way. Under the attack on both sides, the north gate was quickly lost! The defenders of the north gate have commanded the rout to retreat to the inner city, please instruct Your Excellency Shao Zuo! "In Baoding City, in the Japanese headquarters that originally belonged to the Manchu Baoding Governor's Palace, a Japanese staff officer of the headquarters urgently reported to Taguchi Asuka about the military situation in Beicheng.

Taguchi Asuka couldn't sit still at this time, and directly ordered: "Order the northern city to rout, block layer by layer, and resist!" You personally lead 500 troops and give me reinforcements for the defenders of the northern city! Hurry up, hurry up! ”。

"Haiyi, Your Excellency Shaozuo, obey your orders!" The Japanese staff officer who accepted the order only answered with a heavy pause, and then rushed out of the headquarters.

And at this time, the disaster was not alone, and another Japanese staff officer of the command ran in urgently from outside the door, bowed his head and whispered to Taguchi Asuka: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, the battle situation in Xicheng is not good!" The chief of staff sent someone to report that the reinforcements to Xicheng were attacked by the Chinese army, and their firepower was very strong, and there were mortars and grenadiers with the army as artillery support for close street fighting. Our makeshift fortifications are completely unbearable! The soldiers of the Imperial Army have suffered heavy casualties, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Association have been scattered, and they may not be able to withstand it for another five minutes, so please prepare as soon as possible. ”。

"Nani?" Asuka Taguchi was taken aback when he heard this.

Although he knew that Li Yunlong's troops were famous and had strong combat effectiveness. But I didn't expect it to be so strong. The attack speed will be so fierce, it is simply terrifying.

No wonder, even if Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army in charge of the occupied area of Jin Province, has fought countless battles with Li Yunlong's new regiment in Jin Province, and he still can't wipe out Li Yunlong's new regiment under the loss of troops, and there is still a reason.

The other party is too strong, and you can't stand it?

As soon as he thought of this, the old devil Asuka Taguchi couldn't sit still at all, "Order the rest of the people in Beicheng to block me layer by layer, and fight street battles with the Chinese army." ”。

"Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo!"

Subsequently, Asuka Taguchi ordered the signal corps of the headquarters to urgently send a report to the commander of the Japanese troops in Beiping and the reinforcements, reporting the battle situation in Baoding and urging the reinforcements to rush to Baoding City as soon as possible.

It's just that Taguchi Asuka can't wait anymore, and with Zhou Hua and Zhang Dabiao, the two men and horses entered the city from the north and west cities. The soldiers of the Japanese puppet army, who had lost the protection of the city wall, were already unable to fight because their troops were too defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

Ten minutes before the little devil's reinforcements arrived in Baoding, Li Yunlong commanded all the troops to surround the remnants of the Japanese army personally commanded by Asuka Taguchi in the city headquarters. After a fierce battle, Asuka Taguchi finally committed suicide by disembowelment, and the remnants were completely annihilated.

However, at the last moment, Asuka Taguchi sent a report to Beiping and the reinforced Japanese troops respectively, informing them of the news of the loss of Baoding.
