However, even so, the more than 100 little devils who were in charge of supervising the war didn't care so much. In front of everyone, he personally cut down a few soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army who were cowering. The remaining troops, under the threat of blood-dripping bayonets, had to enter this blocked position, which had already been destroyed. Together with the remaining hundreds of puppet soldiers in the trenches, they began to hold on..."Da Da ....boom ..."Just when these puppet soldiers all entered the position, exposed their heads, and prepared to block the attack. Nearly 2,000 fighters from the Reading Force, who were responsible for the attack, had slowly walked out of the position at the command of the regiment commander. At the same time, the nine mortars of the regiment's artillery company also began to speak, taking advantage of their curved fire, constantly shooting one shell after another into the trenches of the little devils, killing and injuring the remaining living forces of the puppet army in the trenches. At the same time, the nine heavy machine guns of the heavy machine gun company were lined up, and the raindrops of bullets were accurately attached to the edge of the trench and shot into the mound of dirt behind the trench, so that the little devils in the trench and the nearly 1,000 Imperial Allied troops who had just been reinforced could barely lift their heads... In the face of the combined attack of heavy machine guns and mortars, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army were caught up by the little devils. At this moment, they are basically lying in the trenches or craters, insulting the little devil behind them. Even some soldiers were already begging for the Eighth Route Army troops to come quickly and eliminate the more than 100 little devil superintendents behind them, so that they could be freed from this situation as soon as possible

As for the remaining more than 200 soldiers in the trenches, they faced a dense rain of bullets and mortar shells that exploded around them from time to time. These little devils who have long since lost their lives to heart. In the face of the flying bullets, these little devils not only did not show any panicked look on their faces. Instead, he lay down in those intact trenches with a calm face, and under the command of commanders at all levels, he shot bullets into the formation of soldiers who were getting closer and closer... However, the different reactions of the little devil and the Imperial Allied Army were also reflected in the eyes of those soldiers who were on cover duty behind the soldiers for the first time. Seeing a few sections of trenches that were still intact, the little devil kept shooting sparse bullets, causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers who were charged. The nine mortars of the artillery company immediately turned their muzzles and fired one shell after another into the group of little devils.

In the sound of explosions one after another, more than 200 little devils, who were still very arrogant just now, were immediately blown to a dead end. And the nearly 2,000 fighters of the Reading Force Regiment also took advantage of this favorable opportunity to speed up the charge. At the same time, the one, three, and two battalions located on the two flanks quickly made a detour to the two flanks of the position with a dozen or so light machine guns opening the way, preparing to completely annihilate all the puppet troops on the entire blocking position..."Baga, order the Imperial Allied Army to return fire immediately, otherwise they will all die, and they will return fire immediately..." Seeing the bullets and shells of the Eighth Route Army, they all greeted the place where the Imperial Army was located. As for the Imperial Association troops who were lying on the ground and motionless, they did not receive a single blow. One of the surviving captains on the position, the squadron leader, couldn't help but roar loudly. However, on this battlefield full of bullets, no matter how loud his order was, these soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army, whose main idea was to save their lives, still held their heads motionlessly, lying on the ground...... "Comrades, rush with me..." With the distance between the two armies, there was only a distance of about 100 meters left, and the artillery company that was responsible for the covering task had stopped firing in order to prevent possible accidental injuries. However, at the moment when the last shell exploded, a loud roar immediately erupted among the more than 1,000 soldiers who were serving as chargers... One by one, the warriors raised their rifles in their hands and quickened the pace of the charge. Under the command of their respective commanders, they are ready to take down the blocking positions of the Japanese army in front of them in one go...

The final result was not surprising, the entire blocking position, the remaining more than 100 little devils, and more than 1,000 fighters in the Reading Force Regiment, were completely wiped out by the soldiers after less than five minutes of short contact. As for the more than 1,000 Imperial Allied troops, except for some hardcore men who died under the bayonets of the soldiers, the remaining more than 800 people, all kneeling on the ground, became prisoners of the soldiers... And behind the blocking positions, thousands of little devils served as reserves. Under the blows of the one, three, or two battalions that were on a roundabout mission, and under the command of Commander Dazuo, they were forced to retreat..."Eight Geya Road, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army was very powerful... The troops immediately retreated, and continued to hold on to the high ground five kilometers behind...", who had been standing in the temporary command headquarters, observing the entire course of the battle. At the same time as giving the order to retreat to his subordinates, he himself began to retreat under the protection of the guard troops ....

In this way, the more than 5,000 puppet troops, under the attack of more than 4,000 people from the three divisions, two infantry regiments, and one artillery regiment, completely withdrew from Baoding in less than two days. And in the entire surrounding area of Baoding City, except for the busy soldiers, even an ordinary person can't see it....

At this moment, there are only three days left before the 150,000 troops of the Yue army arrive at the two county seats. Three days later, the 150,000 troops divided into two routes were able to reach Yinshan and Baoding respectively, and launch an attack on the two county towns that had just been occupied by the Reading Division, turning them into their own military stations or barracks... At this moment, in the headquarters of the Reading Division in Taiyuan, Commander Liu Hua, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan, and Chief of Staff Li Qing are making their final farewells. Because at this moment, the 30,000 troops who participated in the attack on Tianjin have all been assembled in the sound of the command's order, and they are waiting for the commander-in-chief Liu Hua to give the order to pull out..."Commander, in the process of fighting on the front line, we must pay attention to air raids and do not go to the front line to fight in person. When the time comes, if I let me know, I will definitely report it to the Central Committee and let the chairman personally criticize you..."Looking at Liu Hua, who was about to leave, Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said..."Political Commissar, you can rest assured. By my side, there are 30,000 of the most elite troops in our base area. Even if the little devil comes to the strength of one or two divisions, it won't hurt me. It's just you, after the chief of staff and I sent troops, the burden of the entire base area was all on you..."Liu Hua said with a smile, completely without the nervousness before the war.

"Commander, Lao Li. You can rest assured about the affairs of the headquarters, besides, the things that should be arranged have already been arranged, and the rest is the adjustment between the departments. When the time comes, even if there is anything, we will still be able to contact us by radio..."Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan said..."Okay, political commissar, then we can rest assured... Lao Li, it's time for us to go... Time is pressing, and the little devil will be stationed in Baoding City in three days, so there is not much time left for us..."Liu Hua finally said. After shaking hands with the political commissar only once, he took a guard company with him, rode a fast horse, quickly left Taiyuan City, and galloped towards the station of the directly subordinate column a few kilometers away... The 30,000 troops that had been assembled, with the arrival of Liu Hua, did not take any rest and recuperation, and began their new journey..."Chief of Staff, inform all units to immediately find camps on the spot and rest and recuperate..."After a night of rapid marching, I looked at the sky that was getting brighter and brighter. Liu Hua, the commander on the horse, knew. As long as it is dawn, it is impossible for the marching column of his tens of thousands of troops to escape the detection of the little devil's plane..."Yes, commander... After a night's march, it was time for the warriors to rest. In particular, the artillery brigade and the air defense brigade carried so much heavy equipment that there was no scene of falling behind..."Li Qing replied, turned around and ordered dozens of communicators around him, and began to convey orders to various units... In less than half an hour, the procession, which had just been lined up in four lines and stretched for several kilometers, disappeared from the highway under the command of commanders at all levels. The 30,000-strong army, at this moment, is all hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the road, ready to hide from the possible little devil reconnaissance plane..."Commander, this is dry food, you should have your stomach full first." Because it was almost dawn, it was only in the evening that the cooking class was able to light the fire and we were able to eat a hot meal. Just as Liu Hua sat on the ground, the guard Xiao Wang quickly took out a piece of packaged dry food and handed it to him..."Hehe, it's good to have dry food to eat... You eat your own, and when you have eaten, you take time to rest, and after a night's march, I can see that you are very tired. If you don't have a good rest, it will be difficult to survive tonight..."Liu Hua took the dry food and said to the guard in front of him.

"Commander, don't worry, I will rest..." After speaking, the whole person didn't seem to hear Liu Hua's order just now, took out the marching quilt he carried with him, and sorted out a simple marching bed under the shade of a tree next to Liu Hua. Of course, this bed was prepared for Liu Hua....Seeing the guard's actions, Liu Hua could only shake his head speechlessly and didn't say anything. Because he knows that whatever he says is in vain.

Lying on the marching bed that the guards had already made, after a beautiful sleep. Just when Liu Hua woke up again, the sun had already set in the west. Maybe because of a night's march, I was really sleepy, and I slept for more than ten hours this night. Of course, just when Liu Hua woke up and just had a little movement. The guards who were sitting next to him, leaning against the big trees, opened their eyes one after another... Seeing the commander who had already made it from the marching bed, was about to look at his watch. The personal guard Yuan Xiaowang quickly stood up, quickly ran to Liu Hua's side and said: "Commander, are you hungry, it's almost dark now, the last reconnaissance plane of the little devil has just flown over, and the cooking squad can already cook on the fire." Look, I'm going to let the cooking class cook right now and get you something to eat..."

Well, it's five o'clock now, and it's time for dinner. Xiao Wang, inform me and order the cooking teams of each unit to prepare for cooking immediately, and I will only give you an hour and a half to finish eating. An hour and a half later, the troops began to continue marching" Looking at the watch on his arm, Liu Hua nodded and ordered..."Yes, commander, I will go and convey the order..."After speaking, the guard Xiao Wang quickly ran out... Immediately, in this kilometer-long camp, countless cooking smoke wafted up... In less than half an hour, there were bursts of rice fragrance everywhere, and the smell of rice was the aroma of bacon that had been stewed... Because of the complete logistical reserves of the Reading Division, every unit that goes out to fight, in addition to the most basic rice, is the bacon of the characteristics of the logistics department of the base in addition to the most basic dry rations... It is not only easy to carry, but also can replenish the physical strength consumed by the soldiers on the march for a long time... An army of 30,000, after a sumptuous supper, plus a day's rest. Every commander and soldier was in good spirits and began the new night's march. In this way, the 30,000-strong army finally arrived in Baoding City ahead of schedule when the main force of the army was still a day's trip from Baoding County..."Commander, I have been looking forward to you for two days... Hehe, if you don't come again, these tens of thousands of troops, as well as so many artillery and heavy equipment, will not be able to pass through this Baoding City..."Wang Nanhu, the commander of the Third Division, who came to greet him, came to Liu Hua and said excitedly..."Hehe, Lao Wang, we also rushed over in a hurry. Today, in any case, the troops are going to rest here for a night's time. The soldiers carried too much equipment and ammunition, and Yale was very tired after three nights in a row... How about it, the main force of the little devils, did you rush over..."Liu Hua said with a smile..."Commander, you can rest assured. Since the main force of the little devils entered North China, they have been targeted by the scouts we sent in advance... According to the news sent back by the scouts just now, more than 70,000 Japanese troops are now stationed 100 kilometers away from Baoding City, and if nothing else, these little devils will be able to reach Baoding City at noon the day after tomorrow...."Wang Nanhu said with certainty.

"Well, you're doing a good job. How are your preparations, the entire Baoding City has been occupied by you for a full five days, have you completed the task in these five days..."Liu Hua looked at the Baoding City not far away, under the reflection of the moonlight, there was only one outline of Baoding City and asked..."Commander, don't worry, now I can guarantee that the entire Baoding City is now like a powder keg." As long as the little devils live in, I will give an order, and I will definitely let the little devils in Baoding City, all the remaining ones go to the western sky, so that they can all taste the taste of the earth plane. In addition, because there was a large amount of explosives left, I took it upon myself to plant thousands of kilograms of explosives under an open flat land outside the city. When the time comes, there will be an explosion inside and outside the city, and they will definitely give a big gift to the little devils, let them know that our Shanxi Province is not so easy to enter, so that they will never forget the gifts they received..."Mentioning the achievements of his third division in the past few days, Wang Nanhu's heart was excited.

"Well, you're doing a great job. However, Lao Wang, such a large amount of explosives is buried in the ground, you must let the soldiers pay attention to safety, don't be at that time, the little devil did not blow up, but blew up his own people. Liu Hua nodded with satisfaction. However, when he thought that tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives were buried under his feet, Liu Hua's face still showed a trace of worry, and he hurriedly reminded: "Commander, don't worry, our comrades in the engineering regiment are very serious when they are working. According to the report of the Engineer Corps, all the explosives are buried at a depth of at least half a meter underground, and even if the little devil lights a bunch of bonfires on it, it is impossible to detonate the explosives underground..."Wang Nanhu said confidently..."Half a meter deep, it seems that the soldiers of the Engineer Regiment have worked hard this time. More than 30,000 kilograms of explosives were buried in the ground at a depth of half a meter... Well, this idea is very good, the deeper the explosives are buried, the greater the power when they explode....However, buried in the ground half a meter deep, can we guarantee that all the explosives will be detonated at the same time..."As soon as Wang Nanhu finished speaking, another question blurted out from the mouth of the commander Liu Hua.

"Commander, I promise you that there will be absolutely no problems. The soldiers of the Engineer Corps, in order to ensure that the detonation is foolproof at that time, for each explosion point, it is a double wire, and when the time comes, even if one of the wires fails, it will not affect the blasting...... In addition, even if there is a problem at one blast point, it will not affect the blasting of other blast points. So, at this point, please rest assured, commander, promise that there will be no problems..."Wang Nanhu replied affirmatively..."Well, I am relieved of this." In this way, Lao Wang, you asked people to arrange for the 30,000 army behind me to rest around Baoding for a day. When the day comes, you will take me to this powder keg and take a good turn. Also, bring the two engineer captains with you to see if anything goes wrong. After all, it is related to the destruction of a main division of the army, we have to be careful and careful..."Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wang Nanhu in front of him..."Yes, commander. I'll have the soldiers camped. In addition, I have asked the cooking squad to prepare breakfast for the main force. When the time comes, the soldiers will eat breakfast directly, and then they will sleep to their heart's content, and accumulate sufficient physical strength for the night march..."After speaking, Wang Nanhu whispered a few words to a staff officer behind him... With the departure of the staff officer, Liu Hua and others, also under the leadership of Wang Nanhu, came to the temporary headquarters of the Third Division. Just when the group had just walked into the humble headquarters, a burst of the smell of rice mixed with the meaty aroma wafted to everyone's noses. This had to make these, the commanders who had been eating dry food for two days, swallow a mouthful of saliva fiercely....

"Commander, when we attacked Baoding, the little devils retreated in a hurry, and the grain and all kinds of canned food in the entire material warehouse were completely captured by us. Today, I will take the things that have captured the little devil and give it to the commander and chief of staff to catch the wind..."Looking at the several large pots of meat and vegetables on the table of the command headquarters, Wang Nanhu explained with a smile..."Old Wang, you are my old subordinate, what is this." I think back then, when we had not yet established a base area, the troops' rations, ammunition, and weapons were not robbed of the enemy at that time. Besides, we still rob the little devils, and we don't eat for nothing. I'm here today, a few of us, we must drain all the pots of vegetables on the table for a meal today. How about it, do you have confidence? Liu Hua smiled and said..."Yes..."Several commanders who followed Liu Hua into the temporary command headquarters shouted at the same time... Immediately, the few people who followed Liu Hua did not have any politeness, especially Liu Hua and the others, who had just marched for a few days, looking at the large pieces of pork and beef that were stewed in front of them... Ignoring the strange eyes of Wang Nanhu beside him, he began to eat in a big gulp... The final result is no surprise, several large pots of meat and vegetables, with the joint efforts of several people, there is nothing left to eat... Full of wine and food, according to Liu Hua's arrangement just now, several people, under the leadership of Wang Nanhu, walked into the city of Baoding, where tens of thousands of kilograms of explosives had been buried.

Because the explosives have been planted, in order to prevent possible additions, there are only a few sappers and soldiers in the entire city of Baoding, who are doing the final inspection. At the same time, there are still a lot of soldiers, in the streets and alleys, holding brooms, doing the final clean-up work, to prevent the little devils from finding any clues after they are stationed..."Commander Li, your reputation in our military region is very big, even the [***] in Yan'an knows your name. So, today you will be a tour guide and tell us a few laymen where you have planted explosives on the streets..."Look at the street where there is hardly a trace of movement. Commander Liu Hua shifted his gaze to Li Guohua, commander of the Third Division Engineer Regiment, who had completely annihilated a main wing of the Chinese army with the strength of an engineer regiment.

"Yes, chiefs....chiefs, look here, this must have been a big family's house, if nothing else, after the little devil enters the county, this courtyard will definitely become a headquarters... So, in the middle of this courtyard, we planted a whole hundred kilograms of gunpowder. When the time comes, this 100 kilograms of gunpowder will be enough to raze the entire courtyard to the ground....Look here, the terrain here is very flat, and it will definitely become a camp for the little devil infantry, so we have planted 100 kilograms of explosives here..."A group of dozens of people, under the prize money of Li Guohua all the way, took three hours to cross the entire Baoding City...
