Predator Reborn

Chapter 470: Approaching Peiping

"Tick-tick...tick-tock..." Immediately, a loud and inspiring charge horn sounded from the temporary headquarters where dozens of buglers had gathered... The inspiring horns overwhelmed the enemy in the shortest time.

The rumbling sound of artillery and gunfire reached the battlefield, reaching the ears of everyone on both sides of the enemy...

"Comrades, charge, charge with me, kill all the little devils..." Under the reflection of the fireballs caused by the explosion of artillery shells on the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army troops hidden five hundred meters away were like heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals.

, jumped up from the position one after another, like sharp swords unsheathed, and quickly thrust into the Japanese army, which was in chaos and without any order at this moment, preparing to attack the Japanese army.

Split and surround….

"Come on..." Amidst the bursts of shouts of killing, facing this moment, the little devil is still in chaos and has not yet reacted from the shock. The swords are unsheathed, as if they are in the middle of nowhere.

As if they were in a different environment, they quickly penetrated into every corner of the battlefield... The little Japanese who stood in front of the soldiers one by one, with frightened faces on their faces... without any surprise, all died at the front of the entire army, responsible for clearing the way for the charge.

Several machine gunners, under the heavy rain of bullets...

Under the intense rain of bullets, any Japanese soldier who stood in front of the soldiers had almost no chance of survival. They were all beaten into a hornet's nest and turned into limp corpses... The entire charge process only went through

In less than ten minutes, the nearly one-kilometer marching column was cut into several large and small sections by commandos... By the time these small groups of Japanese troops had just recovered from the chaos, under the command of the commander,

When they were about to launch a counterattack, they were surprised to find that they were completely surrounded by the Eighth Route Army's guard brigade...

"Baga, we are ambushed. Hurry, build a defensive position immediately, be sure to block the Eighth Route Army's attack, and prepare to stand firm and wait for reinforcements... Communications Corps, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters. During the march, my reinforcements encountered the Eighth Route Army.

The troops were ambushed heavily, and the troops were severely damaged. They are in danger of being wiped out at any time. Commander, please send reinforcements immediately..." Listening to the shouts of killing from the Eighth Route Army around him, he looked at the vague figures of countless Eighth Route Army... The deputy captain was horrified.

He gave the order to defend, and then ordered to a correspondent behind him...

"Hey, I'll send a report to the headquarters right away, requesting reinforcements..." The communications troops took the order and left... However, just as the little Japanese who were trapped in the encirclement, under the command of commanders at all levels, picked up a handful of engineering shovels,

When they started to build simple fortifications, the surrounding soldiers responsible for besieging them did not intend to give them time to prepare...

Just after the remaining two thousand little Japs were divided and surrounded by the soldiers... the artillery troops and anti-aircraft machine gun troops responsible for providing fire support immediately dispersed at the command of brigade commander Bruce Lee.

The forefront of the encirclement is responsible for providing sufficient fire support to each unit...

"The artillery will open fire immediately, and the anti-aircraft machine guns will provide cover. When the artillery fire is over, the battle ends..." The political commissar of the second regiment looked at the mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns that had just been reinforced around him, with a look of excitement on his face. Then, he looked at the side next to him.

Commanders at all levels issued the order to attack.

As soon as the political commissar finished speaking, the dozens of mortars that had just been set up immediately fired one shell after another at the little Japs in the encirclement... As for the dozen or so anti-aircraft machine guns that were set up,

Similarly, bullets as thick as an arm were fired into the dense formation of the Japanese army, causing a shower of blood...

The sound of artillery, gunfire, and the screams of soldiers immediately rang out in each encirclement... The little devil who had just reacted from the shock and restored order. Under the blow of such powerful and terrifying firepower, he once again

They fell into chaos... One by one, the soldiers dropped the engineering shovels in their hands and began to run around... However, no matter how fast these Japanese soldiers ran, they could not be faster than the speed of anti-aircraft machine gun bullets...

Under the blows of the flying bullets, the bodies of these little devils were either directly cut off at the waist, or were shot out with blood holes as thick as the mouth of a bowl... In short, as long as the little devils were touched by these bullets, not a single one of them would be killed.

Exception, there is only one result, and that is death on the spot... As for the Japanese soldier who quickly fell to the ground, he was holding his head in his hands, begging to the sky for the rain of shells not to fall next to him...

After the first round of fierce artillery fire, the two thousand little Japs who were divided and surrounded by commandos once again fell into chaos... Almost every minute passed, there were dozens or even hundreds of Japs soldiers.

, lying in a pool of blood forever, never to see the sun tomorrow again... The soldiers around the encirclement were gearing up, staring unblinkingly at the little Japanese struggling in front of them in the gunfire, waiting for later

We are making final preparations for our attack...

Finally, amidst everyone's expectations, the entire artillery fire finally stopped after persisting for ten minutes... At this moment, in the dark night, there were piles of quilts everywhere in the entire encirclement.

The bonfire ignited by the explosion of the artillery shell illuminated the entire battlefield brightly... As for the two thousand little Japs, after the test of blood and fire just now, only about one-third of the troops were left, and they were still holding on intact.

In their own combat positions... As for the remaining Japanese troops, they were either corpses or various wounded who had lost their combat effectiveness...

However, at this moment, there is no time for the soldiers to wait until the smoke clears and appreciate the specific situation in the encirclement after the artillery fire. Because, the loud charge trumpet sounded on the battlefield just when the last artillery shell exploded.

Get up...

"Charge..." The soldiers who heard the charge horn were like tigers descending from the mountain. They held the rifles with bayonets in their hands and rushed towards the ruins of the battlefield... Although there were only a few left on the battlefield.

The little devil, still making his final resistance, kept firing bullets into the charging team...

However, inspired by the loud "Charge", no one retreated because of the Japanese counterattack... The soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers behind took over... Thousands of soldiers, one after another, quickly rushed towards the predetermined target.

In the past... Finally, the entire melee, after almost half an hour, ended smoothly just as dawn was about to arrive...

"Brigadier Commander, after preliminary statistics, more than 3,500 little Japs, together with the captain of the Colonel's Wing, were all wiped out by us, and no one escaped... In addition, a mountain artillery brigade brought by the little Japs, all the equipment and ammunition,

They were also completely captured by us. As for our losses, a rough look shows that the two infantry regiments suffered a total of about 600 casualties, of which about 300 were directly killed... It can be said that our guard brigade once again achieved an air victory.

The victory before..." Just as brigade commander Bruce Lee was standing at the temporary headquarters, observing the messy battlefield one kilometer away, the chief of staff rushed into the headquarters with excitement to report...

"Okay, good fight... Chief of Staff, I have seen the entire battle through the telescope... Fortunately, we asked the commander for so many mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns. Otherwise, with so many little devils, we will definitely

It is impossible to eat them all within an hour... Chief of Staff, immediately report the victory to the commander in Ezhou. At the same time, request the commander for next combat instructions..." Bruce Lee put down the telescope in his hand with a smile on his face.

replied.

Ten minutes later, Commander Liu Hua's call back arrived in the hands of the Chief of Staff... Holding the telegram he had just received, the Chief of Staff came to Bruce Lee again with an excited face: "Brigadier Commander, Commander's call back...

The two and three regiments of our guard brigade are required to assemble immediately...and then lead the main force to attack Peiping, divert the attention of the Japanese North China Command, and transfer all their attention to the Peiping area to transfer a large amount of weapons from Tianjin to our army.

, provide sufficient space and time….”

"What, advance into Peiping, divert the attention of the little devil...what else did the commander say?" Upon hearing the contents of the telegram, Bruce Lee couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he continued to ask with excitement. You know, the Japanese army is in the Beiping area.

The highest headquarters of the North China garrison. If one's own troops could attack their headquarters, it would undoubtedly be the greatest insult to the Japanese army... At the same time, it would also invisibly increase the influence of the Eighth Route Army in the country...

"Brigade commander, the commander also said that during the march, we must pay attention to air defense and try to attract all the little Japanese aviation units to the Beiping area. In addition, the guard brigade must use the limited strength of two regiments

, to give the Japanese army the illusion that we are going to attack Peiping..." As he spoke, the chief of staff had already handed the telegram in his hand to Bruce Lee's hand...

"Okay, the commander is so thoughtful..." After carefully reading the telegram in his hand, Bruce Lee couldn't help but applaud, and then began to issue specific combat orders: "Chief of Staff, immediately issue combat orders to all units.

Order. All ministries take all the captured heavy weapons and move them immediately. The air defense troops pay attention to the air defense during the march... We will march to the Peiping area immediately and give a big gift to the old Japanese Jun Tada who has just arrived in Peiping..."

"Yes, brigade commander, I will go and issue combat orders to the troops right away..." As the order was issued, the more than 3,000 people remaining in the two guard regiments immediately carried all the captured mountain field artillery and light and heavy machine guns, and quickly

Disappeared on the battlefield... At this moment, it was already bright, and just when the last soldier, carrying a captured crooked gun and a large amount of ammunition, disappeared into the dense forest around the battlefield, there was a deafening sound.

The roaring sound, from far to near, slowly reached the ears of the soldiers...

Just when the soldiers hidden in the woods were looking up at the sky through the gaps between the woods with their heads raised... a bombing cluster of 12 aircraft had already flown to the battlefield from far to near...

Faced with the smoke rising from the ground and the corpses of a large number of soldiers... 12 aircraft immediately began to circle at low altitude to conduct reconnaissance...

Of course, there was only one result of their reconnaissance, and that was the reinforcements sent by the headquarters. At this moment, the entire army had been destroyed. As for the Eighth Route Army troops that destroyed this unit, after searching around, they were sure to have fled the battlefield.

, lost their trace...

Similarly, the Japanese planes that reinforced Tianjin City and the port faced a large, dark mass of imperial expatriates at the port, and a dense mass of expatriates on the city walls... In the end, they had no choice but to retreat... As for the Japanese aircraft that reinforced Ezhou, they did not have such good luck.

Alright... Just as planes were preparing to drop bombs and strafing at low altitude against the Eighth Route Army that had occupied the city wall... dozens of anti-aircraft guns hidden around the city fired shells one after another almost at the same time. In the dense

Among the bomb nets, a group of aviation aircraft finally successfully flew back to the airport, with only five aircraft left...

At this moment, almost everyone in the Peiping headquarters, including Commander Tada Shun himself, had an anxious look on their face. Almost everyone's eyes glanced at the man next to the war room from time to time.

Telecommunications room, hoping to get the latest telegrams sent back from the front line... After all, the situation in Tianjin City and the port is related to the future military careers of most of the officers...

While everyone was waiting anxiously, a burst of rapid footsteps reached everyone's ears. Immediately afterwards, a communications staff officer pushed open the door of the war room and rushed in with a look of panic: "Report to your Excellency, Commander,

The aviation force that was reinforcing Tianjin City discovered a large number of corpses of Imperial Army soldiers on the way. It was confirmed that an infantry regiment sent out by our army yesterday was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army during its march and was completely destroyed.

No one was spared…”

"Nani, the entire reinforcement force has been destroyed... How is it possible? It was an entire infantry regiment, more than 3,000 elite imperial soldiers. It also carried a mountain artillery brigade... Even if it was a division of the Kuomintang Central Army, it would not be possible.

It is impossible to annihilate them all in such a short period of time, how is it possible?" General Tada Shun asked in disbelief with his eyes wide open, and looked at the chief of staff beside him with a look of doubt...

"Your Excellency, Commander, if nothing else happens, the ones who besieged my reinforcements must be the Eighth Route Army's independent divisions... At the same time, the Eighth Route Army's troops attacking Ezhou and Tianjin are also the Eighth Route Army's independent divisions... And their ultimate strategic goal is there, which I

I'm not particularly sure..." After thinking quietly for a few seconds, the chief of staff replied with an affirmative look on his face...

"Nani, the Independent Division... Baga, the entire North China region is in chaos now. We have forgotten the elite force of the Independent Division. Baga Road... Chief of Staff, Ezhou and Tianjin are still there.

Isn’t there any news?” After hearing about the Independent Division, a unit that he would never forget for almost his whole life, Commander Lieutenant General Tada Shun’s face immediately revealed a hint of gloom, and he asked anxiously to the chief of staff in front of him.

road…

Just when the chief of staff was about to speak, the door that had been closed for less than five minutes was pushed open again. Immediately, another communications staff officer rushed in with a panic look on his face: "Report to your Excellency, Commander, for reinforcements."

The aviation force in Tianjin reported that Tianjin City and Tianjin Port have been occupied by the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Eighth Route Army has gathered a large number of bridges in the city to various strategic locations. Our aircraft have no chance to drop bombs..."

"Nani, Tianjin City has fallen, how is it possible... ah..." A mouthful of blood spat out from Tada Shun's mouth. Immediately, the whole face turned pale because of this shocking news... At the same time, the entire war room

, all the combat staff took a breath of cold air almost at the same time. For a moment, no one paid attention to the commander General Okamura Neji who was standing in front of him, vomiting blood out of shock...

"Ah... Your Excellency, Commander, you must take care of yourself... Our immediate priority is to know whether Ezhou is still in our hands under the fierce attack of the independent division. As long as Ezhou is still in our hands,

Even if the entire Tianjin area is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, they are still our prey. At the same time, the large amount of strategic materials they seized at the Tianjin port cannot be transshipped..." In the end, the chief of staff was the first to react. He looked at the ground in front of Tada Shun.

The chief of staff couldn't help being shocked and quickly comforted...

"Yo Xi, the Chief of Staff is right. As long as Ezhou is still under our control, even if the Tianjin area is occupied by the Eighth Route Army, there will be no problem... Chief of Staff, contact Ezhou immediately and ask about the current war situation in Texas. Also, order

The aviation units to reinforce Tianjin will be ready to take off immediately... As soon as the first wave of aircraft to reinforce Ezhou returns, they will immediately take off for combat. We will provide continuous air support to Ezhou..." The words of the chief of staff made me shocked.

General Tada Shun came to his senses and quickly issued an order...

"Hi, Commander..." Facing Jun Tada's eager gaze, the Chief of Staff rushed out of the war room... However, in less than five minutes, the door to the war room was pushed open again. The Chief of Staff held the

A telegram came in in a hurry. Judging from his face, it didn't seem that what he brought was good news...

"Chief of Staff, has Ezhou been captured by the Eighth Route Army..." Seeing the expression of the Chief of Staff in front of him, General Tada Shun immediately felt something. His whole person also seemed to be much older in an instant... Facing the Chief of Staff in front of him,

With the last bit of hope, I asked in a low voice...
