On the first day that the two divisions of the Japanese army left the Pingjin area, no large-scale battles broke out, only two small-scale sneak attacks! Neither side has anything to lose, and the little devils are not at all worried about harassment by the Chinese army.

"Commander, should we do a night raid?"

Someone suggested that Li Weimin rob the camp at night when it was dark, this is their specialty, and the little devil will definitely not think of it!

However, Li Weimin rejected such a risky plan, today's one-day march, the Japanese army marched only a hundred miles, which was nothing to the Japanese army, and they set up camp before dark, they must have been prepared!

Li Weimin did not plan to attack the Japanese army at night, on the contrary, he also had to guard against the night attack of the Japanese army, today all daytime, the little devil is not in a hurry, and there will definitely be some movement at night, and so many of their troops are defending around Baoding, in Baoding 100 miles away except for the scouts There is no army that can be defended, that is to say, the Japanese army can appear under Baoding City overnight without Li Weimin and them not noticing!

Sure enough, when the sky was getting dark, the trucks in the Pingjin area roared, and Okamura Ningji knew that there would be a large number of scouts from Taihang Mountain staring at them tightly during the day, but this time Okamura Ningji didn't care at all that they didn't have an advantage in the night, and transported troops to the Baoding area overnight! The darkness completely obscured the scouts' eyes, and they could only see countless lights on in the distance, but they just didn't know what the troops and military supplies were transporting on the trucks!

After arriving in the Baoding area, all the Japanese troops got off the car and rushed to Baoding on foot, and the truck returned to deliver supplies to the front line, Okamura Ningci's arrangement was carried out in a tense and orderly manner, I have to say that Okamura Ningci arranged it very properly, and then he met Liao Fan, and Baoding was a grave that Liao Fan chose for Okamura Ningci.

"All the units cheered me up at night! The little devils may carry out a night attack on us! After Li Weimin learned that the Japanese army was constantly moving in the rear, he was very unsure whether the Japanese army was transporting troops, but he was very worried that the Japanese army would attack them, and ordered all units to be prepared overnight!

The Japanese army used the cover of the night to make Taihang Mountain not know if they were mobilizing their troops! However, in the dark night, Okamura Ningji not only mobilized his troops, his hundreds of thousands of troops had begun to slowly move closer to Baoding, and only when Li Weimin was unaware!

When the sky was just dawning, Li Weimin's soldiers stood on the city wall and rubbed their eyelids and looked at everything in front of him in surprise, he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, because hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were already under the city!

"The little devil is coming!"

The soldier had just finished shouting that the Japanese were coming, followed by the overwhelming hissing of shells, and then there was only a buzzing sound left in the soldier's ears, and he couldn't hear anything!

Okamura Ninji launched an attack, and tons of shells fell on the defensive line that Li Weimin was defending! Almost overnight, the Japanese army has formed a tendency to besiege the entire Baoding on three sides! If it weren't for a division defending Qingyuan to defend Qingyuan, I'm afraid that a division in Baoding would have become a lone army at this time!

"Boom Boom"

The sound of artillery was deafening, and the soldiers struggled to resist the Japanese attack!

"Commander, the Japanese appeared almost overnight, they suddenly launched an attack on our defenders at dawn, and our troops were passive!" The division commander stationed in Baoding reported what had happened to Li Weimin.

"What about our positions?"

Li Weimin didn't care when the Japanese army appeared, nor did he want to know how the Japanese army appeared, he only cared about whether the position was in their hands, if the position was not in their hands, it would be useless to figure out everything.

"The position is still in our hands, but the Japanese army has too many troops, and our troops are besieged by the Japanese army on three sides, and they are almost unable to support it!"

The division commander who held Baoding had already transferred his guard battalion to the position, except for some staff officers and civilian personnel around him, there was no longer a force that could be deployed, the Japanese army appeared too suddenly, and they went to the city overnight, and at dawn they did not give them time to react at all, and launched an attack on the defenders!

"No matter what, you have to defend Baoding for me, even if it is to fight to the last person!"

Li Weimin knew very well that the impact of unexpected situations on the troops was great, especially in the face of an enemy attack several times their size, and so far they had not figured out how many troops the Japanese army had sent from the Pingjin area!

"Let the artillery division shell the Japanese attacking troops outside Baoding City, relieve the pressure on the defenders in the city, and then send scouts, we must find out how many troops the Japanese army has!"

The purpose of this battle was to destroy all the main forces of the Japanese army, and if they did not figure out the main forces of the Japanese army, their reinforcements would not be able to appear! If the Japanese army still left 200,000 defenders in Beiping City, even if all the troops from the Japanese army were wiped out in this battle, they would still not be able to deal with the Pingjin area, and the peaceful area was still under the control of the Japanese army, and they would not be able to launch an attack on Taihang Mountain.

Without figuring out how many troops Okamura Ningji sent last night, Li Weimin didn't dare to put all the troops in his hands into Baoding City! But now that the situation in Baoding is critical, he must carry out rescue, at least until he finds out how many Japanese troops there are, he must stabilize the situation on the battlefield.

In addition to allowing the artillery division to provide fire support, Li Weimin also mobilized the strength of a division to attack the Japanese army from the west, but the Japanese army blocked the water in the siege of Baoding on three sides, and the strength of one division caused some damage to the Japanese army at most, and it could not solve the crisis in Baoding at all!

"Commander, Brother Fan sent a telegram asking about the situation of our Japanese army!" Signal Corps Report.

"Tell Brother Fan that we are investigating, and once we find out the situation, report to him immediately!"

Cun Qi and Lu Liming's armored troops are all on standby, and the front line has already started, but they can't act immediately, thinking that they haven't figured out how many Japanese troops there are on the front line, and even Tian Ziqi will not gather them all, Liao Fan gave an order, they can only stand by in place!

"Okamura Ninji's hand is too cunning, they must have seen through that we have been spying on them, so using the cover of the night, we don't know how many troops they have!"

Liao Fan also had to admit that Okamura Ningji's move was too clever, and it was a bit of a trick!

"After all, he is also a famous general of the Japanese army for a long time, and it will definitely not be as simple as we imagined!" Li Lingfei said.

"What I'm most worried about now is that Okamura Ningji still has troops in his hands, if they bypass Li Weimin and them, maybe they have already come to our Taihang Mountain last night!"

If Okamura Ninji sent all the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area, and the number of Japanese troops on the front line was only more than 400,000, maybe the remaining Japanese troops had already begun to secretly march towards Taihang Mountain last night!

"It can't be, right?"

When Shen Zhengwen and Li Lingfei heard Liao Fan's analysis, they were frightened into a cold sweat, because judging from what happened last night, Okamura Ningji would indeed give them this hand, leaving them with nowhere to guard.

"As you said, although Okamura Ninji is Japanese, he is also a famous general, and he still has ability!" Liao Fan was also worried in his heart, after all, when the battle began, anything could happen on the battlefield.

"So what do we do now?" Shen Zhengwen asked worriedly.

"The Guard Division cannot be dispersed, if such a force really appears, the Guard Division is our last protective force! Mobilize the crowd, let them pay attention to whether there is a special team, report to us as soon as they find out, and reward a hundred oceans if the situation is true! ”

At this time, they can only mobilize the local people, if the little devil really set off overnight, he will definitely choose a more hidden place to march to Taihang Mountain! In some places, the soldiers of the army can be ignored, but in some places the common people often appear, and the common people are their best eyes.

"That's the only way, I'm going to arrange for the soldiers of the Propaganda Department to let them distribute the notice!" Li Lingfei knew that the situation was critical, and made plans, and they could respond in time once they found out about the situation.

Liao Fan had to guard against the sudden arrival of the Japanese army, he only hoped that Li Weimin would find out the situation of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and only in this way could he make a correct judgment.

Li Weimin was also very anxious in his heart, because the situation of the Japanese army was very complicated, and when fighting on the front line, their reconnaissance soldiers could not get too close, so it was difficult to figure out the specific number of Japanese troops!

However, what made Li Weimin happy was that after a morning of fierce fighting, their troops did not lose the slightest position, and even ensured the back road of Qingyuan! As long as Qingyuan has a back road, Baoding has a back road, and the war materials can move to the city, and the troops in the city will not fight alone!

The little devil didn't expect that a small Baoding city would resist the attack of their 300,000 army!

"Act according to our plan, let the remaining troops start to attack the Japanese troops besieging Baoding from the awl shape of the city on both sides, put some pressure on the Japanese army, and I will see if the Japanese army really sent all the troops in Beiping City!"

I can't figure out how many troops the Japanese army has sent, only to keep putting pressure on the Japanese army, and if the Japanese army is under great pressure, it will inevitably arrange soldiers to support the front line again!

However, the battle lasted a whole day, and the Japanese did not support a single soldier on the front line, except for the troops sent last night! Li Weimin never knew whether the Japanese army had really put all its troops on the battlefield.

"Okamura Ninji won't give me that trick from last night again, right?" Watching the sun gradually set in the mountains, Li Weimin was worried that Okamura Ningji would continue to take action against them with the same trick he had done last night.
