"It's true that the only brigade of the Jinsui Army has an American-style mountain artillery battalion, but does this artillery battalion dare to fire?"

"Once the artillery is fired, the position will be revealed immediately, and the Japanese air force will swarm in. With just a few aerial bombs, the artillery battalion of the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army will be completely wiped out."

"Staff He overestimated the capabilities of the aviation force."

Liu Fei said with a smile: "First of all, the mountain artillery battalion of the only brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army has thought of this since the beginning of the order, so it is equipped with an excess camouflage net, and the second is that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is at a critical juncture. The air force of the Japanese army in North China must give priority to protecting the Zhongtiaoshan battlefield, how many planes can be dispatched to return to Taiyuan?"

"Not necessarily." He Gaoshen snorted coldly, "If Taiyuan is really facing a threat, the Japanese army will definitely transfer the aviation and even infantry from the Zhongtiaoshan battlefield back to defend Taiyuan?"

"That's right." Liu Fei said, "This is exactly what we want to see."

Smiling slightly, Liu Fei said again: "As long as the Japanese air force and even the Japanese infantry on the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield can be forced to return to aid, then what does it matter if we take Taiyuan or not?"

"Presumably Chu Yunfei's and Liang Gang's departments don't have to take Taiyuan."

"The reason why they took huge risks to attack Taiyuan was just to force the Japanese army to withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Ah?" He Gaoshen was speechless when he heard the words. Oops, he accidentally fell into Lao Liu's trap, and he lost face instead of showing off. What a mistake.

It seems that the position of the army commander has been ruined.

Chang Kaishen glanced at He Gaocan, and said to Liu Fei, "In other words, even if Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang's troops can't take Taiyuan, they can at least force the Japanese army to send troops back from Zhongtiao Mountain, right?"

"If the Eighth Route Army fully cooperates." Liu Fei nodded.

"There is still a great chance to force the Japanese army to send troops back to aid."

"After all, the strength of the Japanese army in North China is also very tense now."

"Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei, Suiyuan, Central Hebei and even Southern Hebei are all at war."

"If Taiyuan is really in danger, we can only transfer troops from Zhongtiao Mountain."

"That's good!" Chang Kaishen immediately lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and turned back to tell Chen Bulei.

"Yanji, immediately call the chief of the WWII zone, oh no, you call Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang directly, tell their two brigades not to care about casualties, and must storm Taiyuan at any cost!"

"Okay." Chen Bulei replied respectfully.

……

Taiyue Mountain.

The brigade commander walked into the war room with his hands behind his back, and asked, "Chief of Staff, where are Cheng Shifa and his regiments?"

The chief of staff who was drawing a line on the map heard the words, straightened up and replied, "We have arrived at the designated location."

"It's here? It's pretty fast." The brigade commander said with a chuckle, "The devils from Lu'an haven't come out yet, have they?"

"No." The chief of staff shook his head and said, "The devils have always been arrogant, and they will definitely not pay attention to the Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang departments, so before Taiyuan is in danger, the devils in Lu'an will not be easily dispatched. of."

After a pause, the chief of staff asked again: "Brigade Commander, do you think Chu Yunfei and the others will succeed?"

"I can't say whether the two brigades of Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang will succeed, because I have never dealt with them." Speaking of this meal, the brigade commander said, "But I have confidence in Li Yunlong and Wang Ye. .”

"These two guys are both monkey spirits, and they won't do things that are disadvantaged."

"Since Li Yunlong and Wang Ye think that Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang can succeed, then they will definitely succeed."

"Brigadier, I think so too." The chief of staff nodded happily and said, "Ever since Wang Ye and Li Yunlong got together, the independent regiment has never suffered a disadvantage."

"Even if it is the breakout battle of Shuiyao Mountain,"

"Also killed twice as many devils."

"So this time, they may really win Taiyuan."

"Even if Taiyuan cannot be won in the end, a big victory will definitely not escape."

The brigade commander said happily: "Chief of Staff, let us wait and see."

……

Outside the Taiyuan Gongji Gate.

All the officers above the company commander of the third regiment of the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army have all been summoned together, and Chu Yunfei has just given them a final pre-war lecture.

Liang Gang just quietly watched from the side.

At this time, he would never compete with Chu Yunfei for the limelight.

Chu Yunfei's eyes fell on an officer, and he said, "Zhao Zhenyuan, do you remember what I said?"

Zhao Zhenyuan, the leader of the third regiment, stood at attention with a snap, and responded with a loud voice: "Report to the traveler, I have already remembered!"

"Okay." Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "You can repeat it to me now, how will you fight after entering the city?"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhenyuan said loudly, "After breaking through the city wall, it is absolutely not allowed to advance along the streets and alleys. It is necessary to build a ladder to jump over the houses and rush forward, and fight the little devils house by house."

"We're going to adopt a life-for-life tactic."

"There are so many of us, the ones who can't hold on in the end must be devils!"

"Okay! I hope you can show the prestige of the Jinsui army, and don't let down the military uniform on your body..." Chu Yunfei glanced at the homemade jacket on Zhao Zhenyuan's body, and immediately changed his words, "I hope you don't let the soldier down." status, let alone live up to the expectations of your parents, wives and children!"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhenyuan said solemnly.

Chu Yunfei waved again, and the officers quickly returned to their teams.

Fang Ligong gestured again, and a semaphore soldier ran to a high place to play the semaphore.

A few seconds later, a long scream roared from the northeast, crossed the sky above the Jinsui Army's attack position, and landed on the city wall of Gongjimen and the fortifications outside the city.

In just a few minutes, the city wall of Gongjimen was shrouded in smoke.

When the shelling first started, Fang Ligong was still a little worried.

I was worried that the bomber fleet of the Japanese Air Force would come to bomb the artillery positions.

But 10 minutes have passed, but not even a Devil plane appeared in the sky.

Fang Ligong heaved a sigh of relief, but he was worried about the three regiments, and said to Chu Yunfei: "Traveler, give up the streets and alleys and build ladders to overturn the houses, and fight the little devils house by house. Is such a tactic feasible?"

Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back and said, "Didn't you participate in the two war games that night? In the second game, we played the Japanese army. Li Yunlong and Wang Ye used this tactic to win Taiyuan."

Fang Ligong said: "But it's just a war game after all."

Chu Yunfei said: "It is true that war game deduction cannot be simply equated with actual combat, but it still has a strong reference value. I think the 'unconventional path' tactic proposed by Wang Ye is worth learning, even if it cannot be won in one go. Going to Taiyuan can at least scare Yoshio Iwamatsu into a cold sweat."

"Then in the end, the old devil will definitely send troops back from Zhongtiao Mountain to help."

Speaking of this meal, he said: "In this case, our goal will be achieved."

……

"Give me the gun."

Zhao Zhenyuan took the imitation M1921 Thomson submachine gun from the guard, buckled a steel helmet on his head, and fastened it to his chin with a leather belt.

"Check equipment!"

Zhao Zhenyuan gave a low shout.

Dozens of commandos behind them began to check the Thomson submachine guns in their hands.

More than 100 Jinsui Army soldiers in the back also began to inspect the long ladders, which were temporarily recruited from the homes of ordinary people outside Taiyuan City.

Because the ladder is not long enough,

Some are made of two ladders spliced ​​together.

Later, when you can climb the city wall and climb over the roof and fight in the streets, you will rely on these ladders.

Zhao Zhenyuan also checked the submachine gun in his hand, and after confirming that the functions were intact, he opened the safety of the submachine gun, and then took the lead in entering the attacking position.

The dozens of commandos followed suit.

After another ten minutes, the Shanpao Battalion began to shoot.

Zhao Zhenyuan immediately jumped up from the position and shouted: "Brothers, come on me!"

Dozens of commandos jumped up with a groan, charged forward while firing violently with their submachine guns, and quickly rushed into the dense smoke.

Zhao Zhenyuan supported his helmet, and then followed.

More than a hundred fighters from the ladder team also followed up with ladders on their shoulders.

Behind the ladder team is the main force of the third regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Chu Yunfei was really willing to go all out, and he threw a regiment into the general attack when he came up.

The firepower of the commando was so fierce that the devil stragglers on the periphery couldn't hold it at all.

A devil just leaned out from a foxhole and raised his rifle to shoot, but before he could shoot, several dazzling tongues of flame swept over him.

The devil stragglers were beaten into sieves at once.

In a blink of an eye, dozens of Jinsui troops stepped on the devil's corpse and crossed the foxhole.

Directly ahead, the city wall on the right side of the Arch Gate has collapsed, forming a gap tens of meters wide.

During the Battle of Taiyuan five years ago, the Japanese army also opened the gap from the Gongji Gate. Although it was repaired later, the repaired wall was obviously not as strong as before, and the gap was blasted out by the Shanpao Battalion of the Jinsui Army.

However, the gap was still more than three meters high from the ground. Although the collapsed city bricks and soil formed a gentle slope, this gentle slope was only more than one meter high, so the gap was still out of reach.

But fortunately, the Jinsui military has prepared dozens of ladders first.

The smoke and dust at the gap still hasn't dissipated, but things can be vaguely seen.

The devil set up two Taisho 13-year light machine guns with crooked handles on the gap, and fired fiercely at the outside.

But one of the crooked handles soon jammed due to dust, and the other was overwhelmed by the submachine gun fire of the Jinsui Army commando.

"Kill kill kill!"

"Come on! Department!"

"Fuck you little devil!"

Amidst the tide of shouts of killing, dozens of commandos opened fire violently while rushing to the gap, and the devils guarding the gap and on both sides were quickly defeated.

The ladder team quickly followed and set up the ladder.

Down the ladder, commandos swarmed up.

In the blink of an eye, the first commando had already rushed to the top of Gongji Gate.

Chapter 328 Abandoning the Outer City

Taiyuan City Wall is divided into inner city and outer city.

At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the third son of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was named King of Jin, and his residence was in Taiyuan.

After Zhu Fanjiu, he expanded outwards on the basis of Taiyuan City in the Song Dynasty, rebuilt Taiyuan City, and built an inner city with a circumference of eight miles in the outer city with a circumference of 24 miles.

The entire inner city of Taiyuan is Jinwang Mansion.

The specification of the inner city is higher than that of the outer city, and it is also built stronger.

In the Ming Dynasty, Taiyuan and Datong were always the strongest northern barriers in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Regardless of Mongolia or the Qing Dynasty, there is no way to capture Taiyuan without paying a heavy price.

However, the Japanese army took Taiyuan in less than three days. There was basically no street fighting in Taiyuan City, so although the outer city walls were destroyed by Japanese artillery in more than ten places, the inner city of Taiyuan was intact. The Taiyuan Municipal Government and the Japanese First Army Command and other Japanese and puppet institutions are all in the inner city.

The Houzai Gate in the inner city of Taiyuan is facing the Gongji Gate.

Yoshio Iwamatsu is watching the battle from Houzaimen.

Chief of Staff Hanaya Masaaki and Operations Section Chief Sakamoto Takaichi were also there.

Seeing the artillery fire of the Jinsui Army extending from the Gongji Gate to the Houzai Gate, the adjutant Ichihara Yuta became nervous and stepped forward to persuade Iwamatsu Yoshio to leave the tower as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency, please leave here."

Ichihara Yuta said: "It's too dangerous to stay here."

"It doesn't matter." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "In order to blast the city wall of Gongji Gate, the artillery of the Jinsui Army consumed at least [-] shells, so there will not be too many shells for extended shooting. "

A veteran in the battlefield is a veteran in the battlefield, all of which are experiences summed up from blood and fire.

As soon as Yoshio Yanmatsu's voice fell, the extended shooting of the artillery of the Jinsui Army became sparse. In the end, two shells barely landed on the city wall of Houzaimen, but they were at least hundreds of meters away from Yoshio Yanmatsu and the others.

Immediately afterwards, there was a tidal wave of shouts and gunshots like popping beans outside the arch gate.

It was at least one kilometer from Houzai Gate to Gongji Gate. Yoshio Iwamatsu and Hanagu were raising their binoculars almost at the same time, but Ryuichi Sakamoto did not look at the city wall of Gongji Gate, but looked down at the Gongji Gate Street below.
