I am a wolf warrior

Ozaki Hiroyoshi said solemnly: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Chinese cavalry is coming this way!"

Shibuya Ichiro looked up anxiously, and sure enough, he saw the cavalry of the Eighth Route Army reorganize their formation after clearing away the Matsuura Squadron, and then approached them quickly.

Now the situation is a bit tricky.

It is no joke that the infantry is rushed to the front by the cavalry during the march.

Immediately, Shibuya Ichiro said with a dark face: "Order, each squadron will start a battle formation on the spot."

The Japanese army that was advancing immediately stopped and quickly formed a battle formation. The [-]-type infantry artillery, the [-]-type heavy machine gun and even the [-]-type light machine gun were set up.

However, the Chinese cavalry also stopped and did not move forward.

Seeing the Chinese cavalry parked about two kilometers away, Shibuya Ichiro was helpless.

keep going?It is very likely that the Chinese cavalry took advantage of the loopholes, but is it so wasteful?I'm afraid it won't work either, Taiyuan is still waiting for them to rescue them.

Shibuya Ichiro has not yet figured out how to deal with the Chinese cavalry, and more trouble is coming.

"Chief of Staff, look!" Hai Yeqing pointed to the right side with two fingers, and growled with a dark face, "China's infantry!"

Ozaki Hiroyoshi also shouted: "Not only on the right hand side, but also on the left side and behind. Damn it, there are a lot of infantry."

Shibuya Ichiro hurriedly looked around and found Chinese troops popping up in all directions. The number of each Chinese army was not many, with only three or five people at least, and a dozen or so people at most.

And the distance between them is huge.

Facing such a sparse line of skirmishers, it is obviously not cost-effective to fire.

Even using heavy machine gun firepower is not cost-effective, because the cost-effectiveness ratio is too low.

The best way, of course, is to send out skirmishers tit for tat, and start a skirmish contest with the Chinese army.

Shibuya Ichiro still had confidence in the soldiers of the Second Guard Division, and immediately said to Ozaki Hiroyoshi: "Ozaki-kun, send an infantry squadron to attack them separately and kill them."

"Hai!" Ozaki Hiroyoshi paused, and immediately dispatched an infantry squadron.

Nearly two hundred Japanese soldiers were quickly divided into a dozen teams and scattered in all directions.

Seeing that the Japanese army also dispatched small units to attack, the Chinese stragglers who surrounded them from all directions turned around and ran away.

However, at this moment, the Chinese cavalry that had been standing two kilometers away suddenly split into two, and quickly rushed towards the Japanese squadron that was attacking on both wings.

Shibuya Ichiro hurriedly ordered the attacking infantry unit to withdraw.

But how could the infantry's two legs outrun the cavalry's four legs?In a blink of an eye, the two detachments were overtaken by the Chinese cavalry, a cold light flickered, and a dozen Japanese soldiers fell into a pool of blood.

The Chinese cavalry swept forward, and small groups were caught up and killed.

In a blink of an eye, most of the dozen or so squads that attacked were wiped out, and only two squads managed to escape back.

The Chinese cavalry rushed forward for nearly two kilometers, and then merged into one again. They dismounted and rested behind the Japanese position, as if they were preparing for the next charge.

At this time, the Chinese infantry that had been dispersed before reappeared.

These groups of Chinese soldiers once again slowly surrounded the Japanese positions from all directions.

Shibuya Ichiro instantly felt a dilemma. Sending troops to expel them would inevitably repeat the same mistakes just now, but if he did not send troops to expel them, he would never be able to move forward.

Gritting his teeth, Shibuya Ichiro made a difficult decision.

"Order, leave an infantry squadron behind and hold back these Chinese skirmishers."

Shibuya Ichiro had no better choice, so he could only decisively adopt the gecko tail-docking strategy, at the expense of an infantry squadron, in exchange for the early arrival of the Shibuya detachment in Taiyuan.

……

"Old Wang, the devils have divided their troops!"

After eating the pancakes in two bites, Sun Desheng got up and said, "Do you want to catch up with them?"

"Don't worry, they won't go far." Wang Ye said while feeding Lie Yan fried beans, "Let the horse rest for a while, otherwise, the horse will not be able to bear it."

Although the explosive power of the war horse is amazing,

But far more fragile than imagined.

If left unprotected, warhorses are easily abolished.

……

Shibuya Ichiro led the main force of the detachment to head south quickly.

The raised loess plain in the middle blocked the view, and the infantry squadron that stayed in place soon disappeared, but the intense gunshots and explosions could still be heard. You can guess with your toes, it must be the Eighth Route Army The main force of the army has arrived and launched an attack on the broken infantry squadron.

Shibuya Ichiro's facial muscles twitched violently.

He really wanted to lead the main force back to aid desperately.

But he knew better that if he really led the main force of the detachment to fight back, then the Eighth Route Army would definitely flee in all directions, leaving their fists in the air.

Chapter 332

Sheji altar.

Fang Ligong walked up to Chu Yunfei with a few telegrams and said, "Brigade, just received a telegram from the Independence Regiment, the devils returning from Anhua, Lu'an, and Yangquan have been blocked by the Eighth Route Army."

After a pause, he said again: "Li Yunlong also specially instructed the traveler."

"Excuse me?" Chu Yunfei hummed twice, and said again, "What did Li Yunlong say?"

Fang Ligong said: "He told Lu Zuo not to worry, and said that as long as we fight in Taiyuan, their Eighth Route Army will be able to stop the devils in Anhua, Lu'an and Yangquan for as long as possible."

"Hmph!" Chu Yunfei smiled and didn't say much.

But in fact, he wanted to say that since Li Yunlong said so, he would definitely be able to do it.

It would be a different matter unless the Japanese army dispatched heavy troops from the front lines of Datong, Zhengding, or Zhongtiao Mountain.

While speaking, Zhao Zhenyuan, the leader of the third regiment, walked in with a face full of gunpowder, and stood up and reported: "Traveler, the devils who are stubbornly resisting in the outer city of Taiyuan have basically been wiped out."

"Very good!" Chu Yunfei said.

"Then you can attack the inner city without distraction."

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei waved to the other two captains and said, "You two also come here."

When the other two regiment leaders came over, Chu Yunfei said again: "This time, the attack on the inner city will not be divided into feint and main attack. All three of your regiments will give me the main attack."

"Third Regiment, in charge of Donghua Gate."

"One regiment, in charge of Nanhua Gate."

"Second Regiment, responsible for the rear slaughter gate."

"Listen, don't emphasize objective difficulties to me."

"I have only one request for you, at all costs, even if the whole regiment is wiped out, you must take the inner city of Taiyuan in the shortest possible time!"

"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

The three regiment leaders stood up with a snap, and suddenly agreed.

Chu Yunfei said to Liang Gang again: "Brother Tiefeng, Xihuamen entrusts you to the 94th Brigade alone."

"Brother Yunfei, don't worry!" Liang Gang said solemnly, "Our 94th Brigade will never lose the chain."

Chu Yunfei raised his left wrist, and said in a deep voice, "The time is now [-]:[-] pm, before dark, I hope to have good news back!"

……

Mizuhara Takuya was speechless.

As the captain of the gendarmerie and the head of the special high school stationed in Taiyuan, Takuya Mizuhara has actually left the army sequence and no longer needs to participate in combat operations under normal circumstances.

His battlefield is the hidden front.

His enemies are all kinds of spies.

However, due to the misjudgment of the idiot Ryuichi Sakamoto, the outer city of Taiyuan fell, and the Gongyuan, where the gendarmerie was located, also fell. Mizuhara Takuya could only take all the personnel under the gendarmerie back to the inner city of Taiyuan, and was assigned by Yoshio Iwamatsu Go to Xihuamen, responsible for the defense of Xihuamen and the western section of the inner city.

In addition to the two gendarmerie squadrons under the command of Mizuhara Takuya, there is also a supplementary squadron composed of headquarters service personnel and medical soldiers, with a total of 400 people.

In addition to rifles and pistols, there are two Type 21 heavy machine guns, 11 Taisho [-]-year light machine guns, and twelve Type [-] grenade launchers.

Although Mizuhara Takuya, a merchant from Osaka, doesn't like to fight, it's not that he doesn't know how to fight. In fact, this little devil's tactical command ability is still good. Killed half of its troops and machine gun fire.

The remaining half of the troops serve as reserves.

The other half of the machine gun fire was reserved for the commandos.

Mizuhara Takuya formed the commando team not for defense, but to launch a counter-assault at a critical moment, because he knew very well that he would not be able to defend blindly in the end.

As soon as the defensive deployment was arranged, the first wave of attack by the Chinese army immediately ushered in.

Probe a little from the battlements, and you can see hundreds of Chinese soldiers carrying ladders, rushing along Xihuamen Street like a tide, but to Mizuhara Takuya's surprise, these Chinese soldiers are actually wearing homespun jackets.

"Section Chief Mizuhara, what kind of army is this, cannon fodder?" Kayata Kosuke said disdainfully.

Kayada Kosuke was originally a staff officer in the Communication Section of the headquarters, but now he is also assigned to Mizuhara Takuya.

Mizuhara Taku also shook his head, looked around and shouted: "Fire, fire immediately, don't let them approach!"

As the defender, you can reap the bonus of a wave of initial battles, that is, you can put the attacker at a very close distance, and then use intensive firepower to destroy it.

The closer you put it, the fewer routs the attacker will be able to escape alive in the end.

So most of the time, the first wave of attack is basically cannon fodder, which is used to find out the deployment of the defenders and the configuration of firepower.

Kayata Kosuke thinks so.

At that moment, Kayata Kosuke said: "Section Chief Mizuhara, it's not necessary, is it? It's just a bunch of cannon fodder, it's just a tentative attack, we can definitely get closer and then fight."

"What do you know?" Mizuhara Takuya said angrily.

"Soldiers are tricky, who can guarantee that this must be cannon fodder?"

"In case this is the elite of the Chinese Army, let them climb to the top of the wall if they get close!"

After saying this, Mizuhara Takuya yelled again: "There are all of them, Sasi Kaigai, Sasi Kaigai..."

Accompanied by Mizuhara Takuya's roar, more than 200 Japanese soldiers guarding the top of the city opened fire one after another, including two Type [-] heavy machine guns and more than a dozen crooked light machine guns.

Intensive firepower poured down from the top of the city more than ten meters high in an instant.

Vicious crossfire was formed on Xihuamen Avenue and several adjacent streets.

Where the firepower covered, the Chinese soldiers who were charging forward with ladders fell down in a pool of blood. In a blink of an eye, several streets were already littered with corpses.

……

500 meters ahead.

The 94th Brigade of the Central Army set up an observation post.

"Damn it!" Liang Gang slammed his fist against the wall.

Because Liang Gang really wanted to steal chickens just now, and planned to use the inertial thinking that "the first wave of attacks are all cannon fodder" to catch the defenders by surprise. For this reason, he also specially selected more than 100 dead soldiers, including more than 20 central soldiers. The military academy teaches young officers from the corps.

But now, this idea has come to naught.

The devils in the Ximen city wall were unexpectedly cautious. They opened fire at a distance of 200 meters, and just a wave of firepower caused a lot of damage to the commandos.

Looking at the rows of fallen commandos, Liang Gang was so distressed that he suffocated.

"Order!" Liang Gang gritted his teeth authentically, "The artillery and the heavy machine gun brigade provide cover!"

Following Liang Gang's order, the mortars and Ming [-] heavy machinery that had already established positions on the houses on both sides of Xihuamen Street opened fire one after another.

Dazzling tongues of flame immediately poured towards the city wall of Xihuamen.

After being counterattacked, the firepower of the Japanese army on the Xihuamen city wall weakened suddenly, and it was no longer enough to stop the advance of the commando. Although more than half of the commando was killed or injured, the remaining members still rushed forward.

Behind the commandos, more troops also swarmed in and went on the attack.

In a blink of an eye, the commando had already approached outside the western city wall against the Japanese machine gun fire.

Immediately, one ladder after another was erected on the city wall, and then one after another, Chinese soldiers held the ladders with their left hands and rifles in their right hands, and raised their heads to attack the city.

The Chinese and Japanese armies under the city head and city launched a frenzied confrontation.

Chinese soldiers kept falling from ladders, and Japanese soldiers were shot.

Almost from the very beginning, the battle became fierce, and the number of casualties rose rapidly.
