Shen Zhengwen and the mine protection team successfully disappeared from the vision of the little devil, and it seemed that such a force had never attacked Baoding. The Japanese troops inside Baoding did not notice the withdrawal of the Chinese troops outside the city.

No one would have thought that Shen Zhengwen would lead his troops around most of Hebei and enter the territory of Gaoyang County.

Hebei is located in the plains, full of endless fields, if the mine protection team is discovered by the little devils, the armored troops of the little devils will definitely follow the pursuit of the mine protection team all the way, not to mention that the mine protection team is only 3,000 people, even if there are 6,000 people, it is not enough for the little devil armored troops to slaughter.

Therefore, the first thing Shen Zhengwen had to do well was to conceal the whereabouts of the troops as much as possible, so as not to let the Japanese army discover their marching routes and intentions.

At least now Shen Zhengwen has done a very successful job, they have confused the little devils on the boundary of Baoding, so that the Japanese army, which originally had insufficient troops in the rear, once again transferred troops from the surrounding counties in order to keep Baoding.

The Japanese army in the various counties of Baoding was completely empty, as if there were no fortifications.

But Shen Zhengwen didn't care if the troops in the city were really empty, their purpose was to make the Japanese army stop attacking the Jingcheng area and then retreat. However, just harassing Baoding will definitely not make the Japanese army retreat, in order to let the Japanese retreat, they must at least make the little devils feel that some important towns in North China cannot be saved.

Only if the rear is unstable, the troops in the front have no intention of fighting.

At night, Ma Wanzhong has been thinking hard about countermeasures in the command center, and now the troops that can be mobilized in the county, he has all been sent to the city wall, and even the soldiers of the logistics department have picked up guns to defend the city wall, and now the people who are responsible for the logistics of the troops are the people temporarily organized by Ma Wanzhong, but they are not responsible for transportation tasks during the day, after all, the battle is the most fierce during the day, and the ammunition is only transported to the city wall at night.

The strongest city in the world is not a city with towering walls, but a city with the joint efforts of the army and the people, and only such a city is the strongest city in the world.

Obviously, Ma Wanzhong has no way, although he has a telegraph in his hand, but the combat troops below them are not equipped with telegraphs, even if Ma Wanzhong has a strategy to break the enemy, but with the troops in his hands, the defense of the city is not enough, and there is no way to break through the encirclement of the surrounding little devils.

The little devil couldn't attack Jingcheng for a long time, and it was not a good way for the troops to be dragged under Jingcheng City for a long time. Although the Hebei region is well connected by railways and highways, war materials can be continuously transported to the front line.

But since the beginning of the war of aggression against China, it took them one night to take Beidaying, and the four eastern provinces were in their pockets. From the fertile fields in the north to the splendid land in the south of the Yangtze River, the Japanese army only took a few months.

If it took them ten days and dozens of days to take the small Jingcheng City, it would be a dream for them to conquer China by the Imperial Japanese Army. This is not only a military contest, but the little devils have already gambled the dignity of their Great Japanese Imperial Army on this small county town.

Not only Ma Wanzhong is thinking about countermeasures, but the commander of the little devil is also thinking about countermeasures, because the troops in Baoding have heard that an unidentified unit has attacked Baoding, which means that the Chinese army has taken countermeasures against them, so they have to speed up.

Shen Zhengwen and the mine protection team finally arrived at the periphery of Gaoyang County, compared to Baoding, there are no strong fortifications on the periphery of Gaoyang County, only a few intricate trenches. Because of the strength of the troops, the Japanese army did not deploy troops on the periphery of Gaoyang County.

The only Japanese squad and a battalion of the puppet army are now preparing for battle on the city wall, after all, there are not many troops in the city, so the little devil has to be vigilant.

After Shen Zhengwen arrived at Gaoyang County with his troops, he did not rush to give an order for the troops to attack. The lack of Japanese troops must have loopholes in the defense, so Shen Zhengwen first ordered a reconnaissance of Gaoyang County.

This reconnaissance happened to find that only one company of the puppet army was defending the east gate of the little devil, which made Shen Zhengwen very happy. In his eyes, a company of the puppet army is not Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake.

However, when the battle started, Shen Zhengwen felt that it was not the same thing.

Although the training of the mine protection team in peacetime is mainly based on cooperation, those veteran oil sons rely on their experience in fighting wars and have always cooperated well in training, which has also led to great problems in the combat coordination of the mine protection team.

Shen Zhengwen ordered the division of troops, with a thousand men attacking the east gate, and the remaining troops attracting the firepower of the little devils in the west of the city.

The battle started again, of course, the little devil still asked his superiors for help as soon as possible, and at this time, the troops in the city were very likely to break through even if a guerrilla force came.

However, this time, Shen Zhengwen fully proved that their mine protection team may not be as good as the guerrillas.

The troops in the west of the city were responsible for the feint, and the troops in the east of the city were the main attacking troops, although they had an absolute advantage in numbers, and their weapons and equipment were slightly better than those of the puppet army, but the troops in the east of the city attacked for half an hour without the slightest progress.

"Fuck, what the hell!"

For the first time, the soldiers saw this weak scholar angry, a thousand people could not attack the position defended by a company of the puppet army, and everyone would be angry.

"Let you usually train hard, you are opportunistic one by one, and you can be on top at a critical time!"

Shen Zhengwen pointed to the nose of the officer under his command and scolded: "Shame, it's really a shame, our combat effectiveness is not even as good as those puppet troops, you can only look at those prisoners!" ”

Eight times the strength of the puppet army, the attack lasted for half an hour, without the slightest progress, and the lives of dozens of brothers were also killed, even the company commander felt that his face was not shiny, not to mention that Shen Zhengwen was a dignified colonel.

"Why are you lowering your head, cheer me up, if you can't take Gaoyang County today, none of us will leave alive!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhengwen picked up his matching gun and began to walk towards the front position.

The officers under Shen Zhengwen seemed to understand what Shen Zhengwen was going to do, and hurriedly blocked Shen Zhengwen's way.

"Captain, I'll lead the team to attack again, you must not personally lead the team to charge!"

They have realized their own problems, but if something goes wrong, they can't let their commander charge with their lives, and whether the little devil can retreat from Jingcheng or not is all pressed on Shen Zhengwen's body. Once something goes wrong with Shen Zhengwen, it is still a question whether the three thousand of them can return to the Jingcheng mining area.

"If you can't take Gaoyang County in an hour, everyone will be sinners of the country!"

Shen Zhengwen was full of spirit at this time, and his face was no longer as bookish as when he came to Taihang Mountain, he was a soldier, a real Chinese soldier, what he had to do at this time was to kill all the Japanese and defend the country.

Standing at the front of the team, Shen Zhengwen shouted an order to the soldiers: "The beginning of self, those who retreat die!" ”

The soldiers of the mine protection team didn't expect that their captain would be desperate, where could they survive. Therefore, with Shen Zhengwen as the target, under the cover of machine guns, they launched an attack on the puppet army at the east gate.

Fighting a war depends either on sophisticated weapons or on perfect coordination, and when these are not there, then only the spirit of not killing can take the enemy's position in one go.

Shen Zhengwen rushed to the front of the group, and although he kept firing, he didn't kill any of the enemies. Because Shen Zhengwen is really the first time to lead troops to fight, and it is also the first time to lead troops to charge.

In Shen Zhengwen's heart, he didn't have the slightest confidence that he would be able to survive the battlefield, how could Shen Zhengwen not be nervous when he encountered this situation, so the bullet he shot didn't know where it flew.

Shen Zhengwen finally rushed into Gaoyang City with his troops, and all the puppet troops guarding the east gate were annihilated by the soldiers of the mine protection team, and the soldiers of the mine protection team also paid the same price.

After the troops entered the city, they didn't have time to clean up the battlefield, Shen Zhengwen had already taken them into the city, and then they couldn't rely on their captains to continue to charge, and the captains took their own tasks and began to clear the Japanese puppet army in the city.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?" A team leader followed Shen Zhengwen, and after capturing the city gate, Shen Zhengwen didn't speak, and his hands kept shaking.

Shen Zhengwen took two deep breaths, and then said slowly: "Not much! ”

The team leader finally understood that Shen Zhengwen was afraid, but when he saw Shen Zhengwen's appearance, he began to admire Shen Zhengwen in his heart, a scholar who seemed to be weak, and led them to complete a great feat tonight.

In the face of death, no one is not afraid, but the courage of this commander has been proven by the fact that he is clearly afraid and still rushes forward with his troops.

The team leader unscrewed his kettle and handed the water to Shen Zhengwen, Shen Zhengwen took the kettle with both hands and poured water into his mouth vigorously, he was indeed thirsty, but he was more afraid in his heart, and this fear could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Order the troops to end the battle immediately, replenish food and ammunition first, and withdraw from Gaoyang County before the arrival of the little devil reinforcements!"

Even if Gaoyang County is outstanding, even if it is beautiful, but for Shen Zhengwen, if the Japanese army in the Jingcheng area does not retreat, even if it takes Baoding, it is useless, so they must replenish what they need as soon as possible, and then evacuate Gaoyang County.

After receiving the telegram asking for help, the Japanese commander in Baoding immediately ordered the troops to go out to reconnoiter which unit was attacking Baoding, but when the soldiers reconnoitred the west of Baoding, there was nothing left except the ruins of the fortifications that had been blown up.

The little devil shouted that the target of this army was not Baoding, but Gaoyang County. So the little devil's support troops immediately gathered and pursued Gaoyang County.

When the little devil figured out the situation, Gaoyang County had fallen, and none of the Japanese puppet troops in the city were left, because Shen Zhengwen was preparing for a long-term and long-distance battle this time, and it was not suitable to bring prisoners at all, so Shen Zhengwen issued an order to refuse the other party's surrender.
