Chapter 490: Attacking the Concession

At this moment, in the garrison headquarters less than two kilometers away from the battlefield, the commander, General Tada Shun, had been pacing in the war room anxiously, waiting for the chief of staff since the chief of staff took away the three infantry brigades.

News... However, just after he learned that the three remaining gates of Beiping City were all lost due to the internal and external attacks of the Eighth Route Army. General Tada Shun, who was originally full of confidence in the Chief of Staff, immediately changed his face.

There was a hint of worry.

Because, with a large number of Eighth Route Army troops pouring into the city, facing the insufficient strength of the entire Peking City, the three brigades led by the Chief of Staff are likely to be heavily surrounded by the Eighth Route Army troops and become the first attack target of the Eighth Route Army troops entering the city.

Thinking of this, General Tada Shun had the idea of ​​​​beating a dog with a meat bun and never coming back. At the same time, he also felt waves of regret and fear in his heart.

After all, the three brigades led by the chief of staff account for half of all the forces in his hands... If these three thousand troops are wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, then he will not have enough troops in his hands to fight against the Eighth Route Army in the concession, and finally insist on

to the arrival of reinforcements.

"Your Excellency, Commander, something has happened... The three brigades led by the Chief of Staff are surrounded by heavy troops of the Eighth Route Army and are in danger of being annihilated at any time. Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly suggest that you lead the headquarters and the remaining troops around you.

The troops under the command will immediately retreat to the concession area. In the temporary headquarters, continue to command the troops to conduct operations. Please make a decision immediately, Commander..." Whatever comes to mind. General Tada Shun, who looked anxious, was thinking about this matter.

When I was feeling worried, a horrified voice reached my ears. A combat staff rushed into the war room with a panic-filled face, stood in front of me, and suggested loudly, his words full of anxiety...

"Baga, the cunning Eighth Route Army is really a meat bun beating a dog. There is no return... Now I order the headquarters to be transferred immediately. The fourth and fifth brigade, military police brigade, and tank detachment will immediately enter the fortifications of the concession.

Abandon all city defenses around the headquarters. Center on the temporary headquarters in the Imperial Embassy of Japan and rely on the defenses in the concession for the final hold." General Tada Shun's clenched fist hit hard.

There was a huge sand table next to him. Then, he gave a loud order to the staff...

In less than ten minutes, the huge headquarters was moved away by a group of staff officers and security forces. All important equipment and documents were moved into several trucks at the entrance of the headquarters, and preparations were made for evacuation.

Get ready. Standing at the entrance of the headquarters, the commander, General Shun Tada, took a deep look at the headquarters in front of him. Hearing the sound of gunfire getting closer and closer to him, he immediately got into a car.

Without looking back, he gave the order to retreat to the convoy around him...

"Brigadier Li, after half an hour of fighting, there are less than 500 Japs in the encirclement. They are making a final stand with a few strong compounds. With so many troops, all surrounded here, it's not possible

What a waste of troops. I think we only need to leave two regiments of the remaining little Japs here. As for the remaining troops, we should immediately launch an attack on the Japanese headquarters..." Looking at the nearly ten thousand people

The troops all surrounded this small area and fought the final decisive battle with the Japanese army, said Luo Zhihui, commander of the Second Brigade.

"Brigadier Luo, these little devils were originally designed to deal with our guard brigade. I think we will leave all the remaining troops in the guard brigade. As for the remaining regiments, you will personally lead them from different directions.

Insert the Japanese army headquarters and try to annihilate the remaining Japanese soldiers in their headquarters..." After listening to Luo Zhihui's suggestion, Bruce Lee nodded.

"Okay, let's do it. Brigadier Li, I'll leave the rest of the little devils to you... Correspondent, notify all the troops in the direct column to assemble immediately, hand the battlefield into the hands of the guard brigade, and withdraw from the battle.

Prepare to attack the Japanese headquarters..." Luo Zhihui readily agreed. He turned around, faced a correspondent behind him, and gave a loud order...

As a loud trumpet sounded, most of the remaining Japanese troops who were encircling and annihilating them immediately withdrew from the battle and disappeared from the battlefield. However, even the direct column with a total of four regiments quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

, there are still nearly 3,000 soldiers of the guard brigade staying around the several compounds where the little devils are holding fast. The soldiers with red eyes who have been killed, under the cover of a large number of mortars and anti-aircraft machine guns, rely on the firepower of the houses on both sides of the street.

Covering the enemy, they launched wave after wave of fierce attacks against the Japanese in the encirclement, constantly consuming the remaining effective strength of the Japanese army in the encirclement.

"Comrades, charge with me, kill all the remaining little Japs, kill..." As another five-minute shelling ended, I looked at the encirclement, which had been bombarded many times with intensive shelling, and was a mess.

The Japanese army position. The commanders of the guard brigade, waving their weapons, rushed out of their hiding positions under the crazy shooting of more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns...

"Boom, boom, boom..." A burst of dense explosions sounded around the Japanese positions. In less than two minutes, troops one after another, after suffering slight casualties, successfully rushed to the Japanese positions.

Using grenades, he blasted several courtyard walls in front of him. Under the cover of thick gunpowder smoke, troops one after another, like fish entering the sea, quickly poured into several courtyards from the breach...

A cry of killing mixed with the clash of bayonets rang out on the battlefield, and the entire battle slowly stopped. The three infantry brigades led by the Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army Command, after several hours of fierce fighting, finally...

, under the daring attack of the soldiers, the entire army was destroyed. Even the Major General Chief of Staff himself fell under the bayonet of a soldier... becoming the first person to die under the bayonet of a soldier since the Anti-Japanese War.

A little devil general….

In half an hour, four main regiments and thousands of soldiers attacked the Japanese headquarters from four directions at the same time. They defeated and eliminated the scattered Japanese troops left behind by the commander, General Shun Tada, around the Japanese headquarters.

Later, they finally broke into the North China Garrison Headquarters, which symbolized the supreme rule of the Japanese army in North China. Similarly, the brigade commander Luo Zhihui, who was supervising the operations in the rear, immediately led the guard troops and rushed to the headquarters after receiving the news that the Japanese army headquarters had been occupied.

to the Japanese Army Headquarters.

However, just as he rushed to the door of the Japanese headquarters, he ran into Xu Ying, the commander of the Fourth Regiment who came out of the headquarters with an unhappy look on his face... Seeing the brigade commander Luo Zhihui he bumped into, Xu Ying seemed to have found

The person to vent his inner complaints and dissatisfaction immediately complained to the brigade commander Luo Zhihui in front of him, who didn't know why.

"Brigadier, the little Japs are so uninteresting. We just rushed to their headquarters, and they all ran away. The entire headquarters is now empty, and all the equipment has been carried away. Commander Tada, the little Japs

Jun, probably knowing that his headquarters could not be saved, he retreated long ago..."

"What, you said that there is no one in the Little Japanese Headquarters? How is it possible? The huge city of Beiping has almost been occupied by us. Where can the Little Japanese Headquarters and the thousands of Japanese troops around it hide? Commander Xu, do you have

I didn't search carefully to see if there is any basement in the headquarters..." Luo Zhihui, who had recovered from the shock, asked in disbelief.

"Brigade Commander, even if there is a basement in the headquarters of the Japs, it is impossible to hide thousands of Japs. However, Brigadier, we did find a basement in the headquarters. However, in the basement, except for a small number of

Except for weapons, ammunition and two-step radios, no other discoveries were found. If nothing else, the Japs commander General Tada Shun and the remaining thousands of Japs soldiers must have hid in Beiping City. We have not yet occupied any of them.

Is it the search area?" Xu Ying said with certainty.

"That must be the case. There must be some place in Beiping City that the troops have not searched. Let me think about it..." Luo Zhihui nodded with deep understanding and slowly fell into deep thought...

"Yes, it is the embassy area. The kid must be in the concession area. In the concession area in the city, because there are embassies from various countries gathered, as well as troops from various countries and a large number of civilians, in order to prevent international disputes from arising during the fighting,

We did not conduct an attack or search. The Japs must have their own embassy area in the concession. Their commander, Shun Tada, must have gone to his embassy. Because we did not dare to attack the concession, he continued to defend and command.

The little devils are fighting in North China..." Luo Zhihui suddenly realized.

"Damn, the little Japs are so cunning, they actually hid in the embassy area. But, brigadier commander, the Japs have tried their best, but only three thousand are left, as well as their general commander. We have worked hard and paid our dues.

It took such heavy casualties to occupy the entire city of Beiping. Could it be that the remaining Japs are advantaged in this way? I think, no matter where the embassy area is, the Japs can send troops, and we can also send troops... After all, the concession is still on our land in China.

Come on..." Xu Ying said with an unconvinced look.

"Commander Xu, don't be reckless. If this matter is not handled well, it will cause international disputes. At that time, not only you and I will be unable to bear this responsibility, but even the commander will not be able to bear this responsibility... Order the Fourth Regiment

, the Seventh Regiment immediately dispersed and eliminated the remaining Japs in the city. The Eighth Regiment and the Ninth Regiment immediately rushed to the concession area and surrounded the entire embassy area. We must ensure that not a single Japs is allowed to escape... I will leave the city immediately and personally report to

The commander reports this matter. The four of you, if anything happens in the next time, report to me or the commander immediately through the radio..." Luo Zhihui shook his head and faced the gathered people.

The four regiment leaders affirmatively ordered...

"Yes, brigade commander, make sure to complete the mission and surround all the little Japs in the embassy area..." the four regiment leaders replied at the same time. Immediately, the entire Japanese headquarters, except for one company of soldiers who continued to stay behind, the rest.

The troops immediately dispersed in company units and began to search for the remaining Japanese troops throughout Beiping City. At the same time, the troops of the two main regiments quickly moved towards the concession, preparing to surround the entire embassy area.

"Commander, Brigadier Luo is back. He is at the gate of the headquarters. I have something urgent to see you..." Ten minutes later, Commander Liu Hua, in the temporary headquarters, listened to the constant gunfire coming from the city of Peiping.

The sound of cannons. While I was pacing back and forth, waiting anxiously, the guard guarding the door loudly reported...

"Lao Luo is out of the city, come in quickly. Did something happen if he rushed from the city in such a hurry and gave up commanding the troops? Also, what is the situation in the city now? Are the casualties of the troops high?" Seeing the anger

Luo Zhihui walked into the headquarters panting. Liu Hua, who looked anxious, quickly asked...

"Commander, there are no major problems in the city. The entire Beiping City, except for the concession, has been occupied by us. As for the several regiments entering the city, they are searching for the remaining Japs in the city. The battle should begin soon.

Ended. However, there is still a problem. Although we occupied the Japanese headquarters, we failed to capture Commander Tada Shun and nearly three thousand little Japs. We also let him escape?" Luo Zhihui said...

"Tada Shun ran away. How is it possible? Although most of the troops have now rushed into Beiping City. However, there are troops staying at several city gates. I did not hear any troop reports about the Japanese army's breakout.

Brigadier Luo, what happened? How could the little devil escape?" Liu Hua didn't want to regret the battle he personally commanded. After hearing that the old devil Tada Shun was actually in front of his own eyes, Liu Hua didn't want to regret it.

After hearing the news that his wife had run away, I couldn't help but look shocked, and asked in disbelief, wanting to know the details...

"No, Commander, you misunderstood. Tada Shun and the remaining more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers are still in Beiping City. However, they all hid in the concession and entered their embassy area. Because there are many soldiers stationed in the concession

There are a large number of embassies and troops from various countries. In order not to cause necessary trouble, we cannot launch an attack at all..." Luo Zhihui quickly explained...

"Commander Luo, are you sure that the remaining three thousand little Japs have all escaped into the concession and entered their embassy area?" After hearing Luo Zhihui's words, Liu Hua couldn't believe his ears for a moment. After all,

In the eyes of these senior Japanese military officers, retreat was a very shameful thing. He could not believe that Commander Tada Shun could give up his honor as a soldier and take the remaining troops to hide in his embassy, ​​hoping to get

Asylum in the concession area.

"I can confirm that on the way out of the city, I have received a report from the troops. The entire concession area has been almost completely occupied by the Japanese army, and their patrols can be seen everywhere. In addition, on the streets of the concession area, Japanese troops can be seen everywhere.

There are a lot of street fighting fortifications. As for the armies of other countries in the concession, they have all withdrawn their embassies..." Luo Zhihui affirmed.

"Damn, this old devil Tada Shun is really cunning. After failing once in our hands, he has made such great progress. We still underestimate him. He must know that we dare not attack the concession casually and cause trouble.

It is simply a bastard to use so many foreigners as a shield for unnecessary international disputes. If I catch this Shun Tada, I will definitely kill him with my own hands..." After receiving the affirmative answer, Liu Hua said nervously

He clenched his fists and cursed bitterly.

"Commander, now that all the little Japs have hid in the concession, are we really going to let them go like this... This is the headquarters of the Japanese Army's North China Garrison. If we take over the little Japs' headquarters, what will happen to the entire little Japs?

For the North China garrison, it will definitely cause a huge shock, and even make their troops lose morale. Maybe our Eighth Route Army will once again usher in a new major counterattack because of Tada Shun's death..." Luo Zhihui's eyes were full of excitement.

He said with a trace of regret.

"Haha, Lao Luo, look at how our *** division has never given up halfway during a battle. Attacking the concession, annihilating the Little Japs headquarters, and capturing the old Japs Tada Shun are our ultimate goals in this battle. However, for

We must not be reckless in this special place of the concession. After all, there are a large number of foreigners stationed there... So, first of all, during the attack, we cannot use heavy weapons such as artillery..." Liu Hua said with certainty...

"Artillery cannot be used... But, Commander, if we do not have the support of artillery, the overrush of the attack will undoubtedly cost the lives of the soldiers. If this is the case, the casualties of the soldiers must be very huge. Three thousand little devils

, Judging from the normal casualty ratio between the enemy and us in street fighting, we have to pay at least 3,000 casualties to defeat the Japanese headquarters..." Luo Zhihui said with a shocked face...

Regarding Luo Zhihui's words, Liu Hua did not answer, but quietly fell into thinking, hoping to come up with a perfect solution... Finally, just when Liu Hua thought that the purpose of the Japanese army hiding in the embassy area was to get

When these foreigners used themselves as shields, a vicious method suddenly appeared in his mind. Immediately, an idea quickly appeared in his mind. At the same time, the corners of Liu Hua's mouth revealed

A hint of sneer.

Thinking of the feasibility of this method in his mind, Liu Hua immediately raised his head, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes. Then, he looked at Luo Zhihui, who was standing in front of him, waiting for orders and asked: "

Brigadier Luo, during the attack, did you find any *** expatriates in Beiping City..."
