"Bastard!"
"Bagayalu!"
Every time Yoshio Iwamatsu cursed, he had to slap Takamoto Sakamoto across the face.
After more than a dozen slaps, Ryuichi Sakamoto's cheeks swelled immediately, but he had to turn his face back again and again, letting Yoshio Iwamatsu continue to slap him.
"What kind of bad idea did you come up with?"
"Didn't you say that the Jinsui army would advance along Gongjimen Street?"
"But why did they go to the roofs on both sides of Archgate Street?"
"That's all right now, all the firepower ambushing on both sides of Gongjimen Street have been abolished, including four [-]-mountain cannons, twelve [-]-type infantry cannons, and twelve [-]-type heavy machine guns, all of which have become decorations. "
"Go and get these artillery and heavy machine guns back to me, go and get them back!"
While talking, Yoshio Iwamatsu became angry again, and slapped Takashi Sakamoto once or twice with his bow left and right.
Takashi Sakamoto kept silent. Of course, he couldn't get back these artillery and heavy machine guns, because the Jinsui army had already entered the houses on both sides of Gongjimen Street, and started house-to-house and street battles with the Japanese army.
At this time, putting artillery and heavy machine guns on Gongjimen Street, is it courting death?
The Jinsui Army casually dropped a few bundles of cluster grenades from the roof, and they could blow them up.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Yoshio Iwamatsu slapped his face several times before saying, "I want to ask you what to do now? What to do?"
Ryuichi Sakamoto let the nosebleed flow down, and did not dare to reach out to wipe it. He paused and said: "Your Excellency, I failed to accurately judge the tactics of the Jinsui Army, which caused Taiyuan's defense to be in trouble. I am dereliction of duty. I am willing to do this Take responsibility."
"Take responsibility? You can't afford it!" Yoshio Iwamatsu said angrily, "If Taiyuan falls, do you know how serious the consequences will be? Not only military but also political consequences, you simply can't afford it! "
"Your Excellency, Commander, we will discuss the matter of accountability later." Hua Guzheng said anxiously.
"Oh, yes, we'll talk about this later." Takashi Sakamoto said, "Your Excellency, the most urgent task is to quickly adjust the defensive deployment, abandon the outer city of Taiyuan, and retreat to the inner city!"
Chapter 329 Returning to Taiyuan
"Nani?"
"Abandon the outer city?"
"Retreat to the inner city?"
Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Ryuichi Sakamoto in surprise.
"Baga, do you know what nonsense you are talking about?" Hua Guzheng was furious when he heard the words, and slapped Ryuichi Sakamoto's face with his backhand.
"Does the outer city say that you can give up if you give up?"
"Do you know how many institutions there are in the outer city?"
"Even the headquarters of the gendarmerie is in the outer city."
Not to mention that most of the officials of the pseudo-Shanxi Provincial Government, as well as those Shanxi gentry and wealthy businessmen who have defected to the Japanese government or are friendly with the Japanese government, basically have residences in the outer city.
Giving up the outer city means giving up all the gentry and wealthy businessmen.
This was not only a serious military blow to the Japanese army,
It is also a heavy blow on the economic and political levels.
At this moment, Hanagu really wanted to slap Ryuichi Sakamoto's head off.
This damned idiot came up with a bad idea, which made a good Taiyuan defense battle into trouble from the first day, and now he wants to come up with another bad idea to harm people?
"Hayi!" Ryu Sakamoto paused and insisted, "I know that the outer city of Taiyuan is very important, and I also know that abandoning the outer city will seriously affect the reputation of the imperial army in Taiyuan and even Shanxi as a whole, but I know better that if you don't Give up the outer city while the current situation is not completely corrupted and there is still room for recovery, and shrink all the troops to defend the inner city, then in the end not only the outer city will not be able to hold, but the inner city will also be unable to hold, and the entire Taiyuan will fall!"
"Nani? Will the whole of Taiyuan fall?" Huagu said angrily.
"Ryuichi Sakamoto, what are you talking about? The battle has just begun."
"You dare to say that Taiyuan cannot be defended, you are shaking the morale of the army!"
Yoshio Iwamatsu's expression also cooled down, and he deliberately spread shocking words in an attempt to shake the morale of the army. According to the Japanese Army's regulations, he would be executed.
Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn't care less about these.
He also said: "Your Excellency, Commander, you can execute me, but please be sure to abandon the outer city and use all your troops to defend the inner city walls, otherwise Taiyuan will definitely fall."
"Ba Ga, you still dare to spread shocking words?"
Hua Gu was furious and said: "Guard, drag this guy out and kill him!"
"Wait." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "Sakamoto-kun, keep talking."
Seeing that Ryuichi Sakamoto would rather be executed than stick to his point of view, Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that he should at least be given a chance to state his point of view.
Then he said: "If the outer city was not abandoned, why would Taiyuan fall?"
"The reason is very simple." Ryuichi Sakamoto said in a deep voice, "Because the Jinsui Army and the Central China Army will inevitably use house-to-house and street fighting as their main combat method."
"The hallmark of house-to-house fighting is that casualty numbers can be very close together."
"Under the premise that the courage of the enemy and us is almost equal, no matter how big the difference in firepower between the two sides is, the casualty ratio will not differ too much, basically one to one!"
"So if you don't give up the outer city of Taiyuan,"
"If there is a house-to-house battle with the Chinese army,"
"Then the number of casualties between the imperial army and the Chinese army will not be much different."
"That is to say, the Chinese army only needs to pay about 3000 people to exhaust the entire strength of the imperial army."
"And the time will also depend on the intensity of the Chinese army's attack. If the Chinese army continues to launch high-intensity street fighting at all costs, all the troops of the imperial army will be exhausted in the shortest day and night."
Speaking of this meal, Ryuichi Sakamoto said: "That is to say, under extreme circumstances, Taiyuan will be completely lost within a day and night, and the battle situation in Shanxi will be completely reversed by then."
Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help but gasped.
If Taiyuan falls, the battle of the Central Plains may not be able to continue.
If this happens, His Excellency the General will never let him go, let alone His Majesty the Emperor.
"Listen to the alarming words!" Hanagu Masa no longer believed in Ryuichi Sakamoto, and said coldly, "I don't believe that the Chinese army can fight the imperial army at a one-to-one casualty ratio in street battles, let alone the imperial army in Taiyuan City. The two regiments of the [-]th Mixed Brigade of the Alliance Army, this is also an armed force with a strength of more than [-]."
"Why do you have to lie to yourself, Chief of Staff?"
Ryuichi Sakamoto did not change his poisonous tongue attribute just because he was beaten.
"Not to mention that the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army is currently being reorganized. Even if the reorganization is completed, it will not be a strong military force. It is okay to let them rely on the city wall to defend the city. I expect them to start brutal street battles with the regular Chinese army. , playing a one-to-one casualty ratio, this is simply a dream."
"Besides, is the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army really reliable?"
"When the imperial army has the upper hand, of course there will be no problems."
"But once the imperial army is at a disadvantage, especially when Taiyuan is about to fall, and the entire battle situation in Shanxi may be reversed, the imperial association army will no longer be reliable."
"A Chinese is a Chinese after all!"
"Ba Ga!" Hua Gu was getting more and more furious.
Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "What about artillery and heavy machine guns?"
"Blow up!" Sakamoto Takaichi gritted his teeth, "Blow up everything!"
"Nani? Blow up everything?" Hua Guzheng said, "What are you talking about?"
"Order!" Yoshio Iwamatsu yelled through gritted teeth, "The troops who were fighting with the Chinese army on both sides of Gongjimen Street immediately blew up all the artillery and heavy machine guns, and withdrew from Houzaimen into the inner city of Taiyuan!"
"Nani?" Hua Guzheng said dumbfounded, "Your Excellency, Commander?"
"Also, take back the ammunition issued to the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army immediately."
"Until the battle is over, the Fourth Mixed Brigade is not allowed to step out of the barracks."
"Send a squadron of infantry to watch them, and shoot to kill if anyone disobeys!"
"Nani?" Hua Guzheng was completely dumbfounded, is your Excellency a cerebral palsy?
Seeing that Yoshio Iwamatsu adopted his suggestion, Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn't help but increase his confidence, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, even if you give up the outer city, you can't hold on for more than two days."
"Therefore, Lu'an, Anhua, and Yangquan must be dispatched as reinforcements as soon as possible."
"However, if my estimate is not wrong, the Eighth Route Army in the southeast and northwest of Shanxi will definitely not sit idly by. They will definitely block it, so I also ask the No.20 Sixth Division stationed in Datong or the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain The troops should be dispatched for reinforcements, and the strength of returning reinforcements should be at least two infantry regiments."
But this time, Yoshio Iwamatsu did not fully adopt it.
Only agreed to transfer troops from Anhua, Yangquan and Lu'an.
Two infantry brigades were dispatched in each direction to return to aid.
Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that there were six infantry brigades returning to help,
It is enough to attack Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang from inside and outside.
……
On both sides of Gongjimen Street, private houses.
The Tiger Squadron of the Jinsui Army's only brigade and the Jiaolong Squadron of the Central Army's 94th Brigade have also been engaged in street fighting. Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang really rushed to attack at any cost.
These two Whampoa students were really loyal to Chang Kaishen.
Sun Ming pointed to the corner of the stairs, Gao Shenxing nodded slightly, then untied a grenade from his waist, pulled the fuse and threw it behind the corner of the stairs, booming.
Dazzling red light suddenly bloomed.
The two came out at the same time, armed with submachine guns and fired at the corner of the stairs, and the two devils hiding at the corner of the stairs were smashed into a sieve in an instant.
After reaching the corner of the stairs, the two of them did not rush down.
Gao Shenxing picked up a devil's corpse and threw it down like a sack.
Immediately there were two crisp gunshots from below. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Shenxing and Liang Gang came out from behind the corner of the stairs at the same time. One shot at the first floor from above the passage, while the other lay on his back While sliding down the corridor quickly, he leaned up and fired violently at the first floor.
Two people and two submachine guns formed a crossfire.
The two devils guarding the stairs on the first floor were beaten into sieves in an instant.
At this moment, a smoking grenade rolled over.
"Fuck!" Sun Ming, who had just slid down to the ground on the first floor, quickly grabbed a devil's corpse and covered it in front of him.
After the red light dissipated, Sun Ming put down the devil's body.
When I looked closely again, I saw that the side of the devil's body facing the grenade had been shot into a honeycomb.
Gao Shenxing slid down the handrail of the stairs with a fake M1921 Thomson submachine gun in his hand. After landing, he freed his right hand and gave Sun Ming a thumbs up: "You're good at it, brother."
"So-so." Sun Ming grinned and said, "You're not bad either."
Hearing this, Gao Shenxing curled his lips, pulled out a bayonet from his waist, and then slid up to the wooden wall on the first floor. The grenade was thrown from behind the wooden wall just now. There is a window on the wall.
After getting ready, Gao Shenxing shot sign language and hand grenade at Sun Ming.
Sun Ming understood, and immediately untied a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it in through the window.
Gao Shenxing listened attentively, and vaguely heard footsteps, and then a person leaned against the wooden wall, without any hesitation, he stabbed into the wooden wall with a sharp knife.
The flimsy pine planks couldn't stop the sharp bayonets at all.
The bayonet pierced through the wooden wall and plunged into the body of the devil on the opposite side.
Immediately there was a scream from the devil on the opposite side, Gao Shenxing quickly dodged to the side, and Sun Ming immediately pulled the trigger, shooting a short burst at the opposite side of the wooden wall.
The gunfire stopped suddenly, and Gao Shenxing kicked out again.
There was only a bang, and the wooden wall fell back.
Almost at the moment when he kicked down the wooden wall, Gao Shenxing faintly heard a metal impact. Why does this sound sound like the impact of a cannon latch when it is locked?
In the next instant, the hairs all over Gao Shenxing's body stood on end.
"Get out of the way!" Gao Shenxing roared, and he fell to the side violently.
Sun Ming was about to follow up, when he heard Gao Shenxing's warning, he immediately fell sideways without thinking.
While falling sideways, Sun Ming looked back subconsciously, just in time to see a ball of red light hitting the wooden wall and flying towards it. Sun Ming even saw the high-explosive bomb wrapped in the red light!It's a shell!
It was too late, but soon, Gao Shenxing and Sun Ming had already rolled over to the ground.
The high-explosive grenade that shot through the wooden wall also exploded, and a large number of metal fragments shot in all directions instantly. The air waves generated by the explosion almost overturned the entire building.
A large number of floor slabs and rafters fell in an instant.
Gao Shenxing and Sun Ming didn't have time to react, they could only hug their heads and curl up into a ball.
