Chapter 378: Second trip to Taiyuan (Part 2)

Five minutes later, the heavy artillery regiment, which had turned its muzzle, all 36 artillery muzzles of various types were aimed at the target they were going to bombard, the northeast corner of the city wall. At the same time, all the gunners were in place, waiting for the regiment leader Chen

Guangrong gave the order to fire. As the leader of the heavy artillery regiment, Chen Guangrong stared motionlessly at the watch on his arm, waiting for the time to attack.

Finally, as the second hand slowly moved towards the 12 position, the regiment leader Chen Guangrong showed a smile on his lips. Without any hesitation, he shouted loudly to the artillery staff waiting for orders: "Fire!"

"Fire the artillery...fire the artillery...fire the artillery..." Immediately, the roar of a battalion commander rang out from the artillery position. At the same time, 36 artillery pieces also fired a sound at the same time.

A thundering roar.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A thunderous roar sounded, and 36 artillery shells flew out of the shells under the huge driving force. At the same time, the entire artillery position was also illuminated by the flames generated by the firing.

Transparent. However, the soldiers did not have time to appreciate the results of their shelling.

As the shells came out of the barrel, a gunner immediately ran to the back of the artillery, opened the running bolt, and cleared the steaming shell shells out of the barrel. At the same time, another heavy shell came out.

More than ten kilograms of yellow shells were pushed into the barrel by the gunner. He closed the running bolt and was ready to fire again...fire...boom...boom...

As a roar sounded from the artillery position, a heavy howitzer shell flew to the northeast corner of the city wall with a huge roar. At this time, the entire northeast corner of the city wall was completely covered by artillery fire. Then

There was a huge explosion, and the city wall, which had just been repaired not long ago, had slowly begun to loosen under the continuous bombardment of dozens of heavy cannons.

Finally, when dozens of heavy artillery poured nearly 300 shells on the city wall. With a huge roar, a section of the city wall more than ten meters in length finally collapsed completely because it could not withstand the continuous explosion of the shells. A width of

A gap of more than ten meters suddenly appeared in front of the soldiers.

"The heavy artillery regiment carried out extended shooting, the first armored regiment immediately attacked, and the second and third brigades followed up and began to attack..." Seeing the city wall that had been blown open, the division commander Liu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and ordered loudly.

"Yes, division commander..." Following the answers of the two brigade commanders, the heavy artillery in the artillery position immediately turned their muzzles and began to extend to both sides of the city wall. At the same time, they had already moved to less than 100 meters away from the city wall.

A one kilometer armored regiment of nine tanks also heard the roar of their engines at the same time.

Nine tanks, with huge roars, lined up in a neat offensive formation. They sprayed a dense rain of bullets towards the breakthrough in front of them as they advanced. Two brigades of nearly 10,000 infantrymen were tightly packed.

Following the tank, they rushed toward the breach in the city wall.

Looking at the Eighth Route Army and tanks outside the city that were attacking the breach, although there were still nearly a thousand defensive troops on the city wall at this time. However, facing the heavy artillery shells falling like raindrops on both sides of the breach, the mortars

Cannons and shells. All the soldiers on the city wall were frightened. Because, in this dense artillery fire, as many of them were killed as they rushed in.

"Baga... Immediately request support from the commander of the regiment. The Eighth Route Army's artillery fire is too fierce. If there is no artillery support, the city wall will be breached in ten minutes at most... 0" Stand on the city wall

The captain looked at the Eighth Route Army getting closer and closer, and looked at the intensive artillery fire in front of him. Although he was also very anxious, there was no way. The only thing he could do was to ask for help from the company headquarters.

.

However, what he didn't expect was that just when the heavy artillery regiment outside the city was concentrating its firepower and bombarding the northeast corner of the city wall, the special operations brigade, which had been ordered to attack the enemy's wing headquarters, left only one squadron to defend the warehouses and arsenals it occupied.

, other than the repair shop and other places. The remaining two squadrons, under the leadership of captain Liu Xiaogang, rushed towards their regiment headquarters from various places in Taiyuan City like kittens smelling the smell of fish.

.Even many comrades from the underground party who learned of the situation rushed towards the Japanese army headquarters with weapons in hand.

In less than ten minutes, the entire Japanese army headquarters was completely surrounded by the special operations brigade and various underground party armed forces in the city. However, facing the surrounding special operations brigade, only one brigade of Japanese troops remained.

The commander of the regiment did not blindly order the troops to launch a charge to eliminate these armed forces.

Because he knows that what surrounds him is the famous special operations brigade of the Independent Division. Such a force cannot be solved by a brigade of imperial troops in his own hands. And if he wants to live longer, the only thing he can do

That is to hold on, relying on the strong fortifications of the wing headquarters to hold on.

"Report to the captain, the enemy's headquarters has been completely surrounded by us, and not a single kid can escape. However, the enemy intends to hold on with the fortifications around the headquarters. If we carry out a strong attack, the casualties of the soldiers will definitely be

It's very huge." After surrounding the entire Japanese army headquarters, Wang Hong, the captain of the first squadron, came to the captain Liu Xiaogang and reported loudly.

"Haha, who said I planned to launch a storm. Captain Wang, you can dispatch a small team from your squadron and rush to the Japanese mountain artillery unit immediately. Send me some mountain artillery and fire a few cannons at his headquarters. I

Let’s see if these little devils want to die in their own turtle shells, or rush out and fight us." Liu Xiaogang replied with a smile on his face.

"Yes, captain, I understand. Don't worry, I will make sure to drive out all the little Japs in the enemy's wing headquarters." After hearing the captain's order, Wang Hong reacted immediately.

"Okay, let's go. Captain Meng, after the shelling, the Japs will definitely rush out. At that time, let the soldiers show no mercy to me. We will kill as many Japs as they come out. Are you clear?" Look?

Watching Wang Hong leave, Liu Xiaogang looked at Captain Meng Jie next to him.

"Captain, don't worry. There are still 500 of our team members around the Japanese army headquarters, which is enough for the more than a thousand little devils in the headquarters to have a drink. When the time comes, I guarantee that none of them will be let go.

"Meng Jie replied with confidence.

After several miles of journey, the first team of the special operations brigade arrived in less than ten minutes. Arriving at the position of the Japanese mountain artillery regiment, Wang Hong immediately directed the soldiers to start turning the muzzles of the guns without saying a word.

Soon, three heavy mountain guns were all aimed at the Japanese wing headquarters.

"There is no need to conduct a test firing. Let's fire immediately. Our mission is to scare the little Japs out. It doesn't matter if the shooting is not accurate." After preparations were completed, Wang Hong gave the order to fire to the soldiers standing behind the three heavy mountain cannons.

Order.

"Boom, boom, boom" three huge roars sounded, and three artillery shells, with a sharp whistling sound, flew towards the Japanese army's wing headquarters. However, all but one of the three artillery shells fell into the little Japanese army.

Outside the regiment headquarters, the remaining two artillery shells all landed in the huge camp of the guard regiment, causing three huge explosions.

However, it was enough to fall into one artillery shell. Hearing the huge explosion in the headquarters compound and feeling the huge air wave caused by the explosion of the artillery shell. The captain, who had already made up his mind to defend the wing headquarters, his whole face immediately changed.

He turned pale. Because at this time, he thought of the scene of the headquarters that was bombarded a few hours ago.

"Baga, the enemy is supported by heavy artillery. Hurry up and rush out immediately to mingle with the Chinese troops outside..." Thinking of the officers who were all buried in the rubble, the captain couldn't help but feel scared.

, he didn’t want to be buried in the ruins without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, as a captain of the Major Corps.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Captain..." Seeing the complete and incomplete corpses within a radius of ten meters centered on the impact point in the middle of the yard, the Kwantung Army soldiers who received the order to charge immediately replied without any hesitation.

.Similarly, they did not want to be killed in vain, without even killing an enemy.

"Kill..." Immediately, the entire wing headquarters was filled with the sounds of little devils shouting for kill. At the same time, the door of the wing headquarters, which had been closed just now, was immediately opened. Dozens of people opened the door.

The little devils swarmed out of the headquarters and rushed toward the special operations brigade dozens of meters away.

"Da da da..." However, the wishes of these little devils did not come true. Just when they shouted slogans and rushed out of the headquarters, they were greeted by a dense rain of bullets composed of several light and heavy machine guns. "Ah.

....Baga..." A burst of screams from soldiers immediately sounded at the entrance of the Japanese military command department.

However, the little Japs who had decided to rush out and fight to the death with the special operations brigade outside did not flinch in the face of the dense firepower net at the door. Instead, they shouted slogans and pounced on the dense firepower net one after another in an even more meaningless manner.

They came over. Gradually, nearly a hundred corpses piled up in front of the Japanese military headquarters.

"Baga, the enemy is very cunning. They have deployed a large number of light and heavy machine guns at the entrance of the headquarters. Order, blow up the wall, everyone rush out together to disperse the Eighth Route Army's firepower, hurry up..." Looking at the people falling in front of them,

With the Kwantung Army soldiers in a pool of blood, the captain immediately changed his tactics and gave loud orders.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Several huge explosions sounded. The courtyard wall, which was still high just now, immediately appeared several gaps in the sound of explosions. At the same time, hundreds of little devils, along the

The gap opened by the explosion swarmed towards the position of the special operations brigade.

However, although the soldiers did not have a large number of heavy machine guns in their hands, they did have a lot of light machine guns. As a breach opened, at least two light machine guns immediately came over as reinforcements, using an airtight fire network.

, tightly sealed the little devil’s exit.

As time passed by, and almost every minute passed, nearly a hundred little Japs died under the guns of the special operations team members. However, in the face of such horrific casualties, not a single Japs retreated.

They continued to charge without hesitation. Finally, ten minutes later, the gunfire in the entire headquarters finally stopped, and the battlefield slowly became quiet.

However, at this time, nearly a hundred corpses were lying almost everywhere at several breakthroughs of the Japanese army and at the entrance of the command post. Looking at the machine gunners guarding the position, next to each machine gun, there were

There were piles of bullet casings, steaming constantly.

In this way, nearly a thousand Japanese Japs in the Japanese Army Wing Headquarters were completely slaughtered by the Special Operations Brigade in a dramatic manner. Not even one of them, including the Wing Commander, was left. As for the Special Operations Brigade, they were only killed by the stray bullets fired by the Japs and the

The grenades cost less than a hundred casualties.

Just when the battle in the city was over, the armored regiment that had launched the attack, supported by the heavy artillery regiment's fierce artillery fire, rushed to the gap in the city wall without almost any resistance.

As a burst of black smoke erupted from the back of the tank, the three tanks charging at the front rushed to the breakthrough point along the ruins. Immediately, the three tanks stood there like solid movable bunkers.

Killing and injuring all the little devils who dare to approach the breach.

Seeing that the Armored Regiment had successfully occupied the breach, the nearly 10,000 infantrymen following the Armored Regiment immediately surged into Taiyuan City and the walls like a flood that broke the embankment. At this moment, the commander in charge

The covering heavy artillery regiment also stopped firing. On the entire battlefield, in addition to the shouts of soldiers, there were the firing of light and heavy machine guns, rifles, and the explosion of grenades.

Facing the Eighth Route Army, which had several times its own strength and several times its firepower density, the nearly a thousand little Japs who still stood on the city wall collapsed under the fierce attack of the soldiers. But the soldiers held tight.

Following behind the little Japanese's defeated troops, they continued to use fierce firepower to kill and injure the little Japanese's effective forces.

Even if they encounter a small group of Japanese troops during the pursuit, the soldiers will use the shortest time under the cover of mortars to eliminate the little Japanese in front of them and continue to charge. In this way, one after another,

The troops, following the little Japanese's defeated troops, quickly pushed straight into the entire Taiyuan City.

However, because the Taiyuan headquarters has been completely destroyed by the special operations brigade, these little devils, after losing their unified command, can be said to be running around in Taiyuan City. In the end, under the attack of the absolute superior force of the Independent Division,

One after another, the defeated troops were wiped out by the soldiers in the shortest possible time.

The little Japanese were completely wiped out. As for the thousands of puppet troops in the city, they were heavily surrounded by the independent division and lost their commanders. Except for a few puppet commanders who were determined to be traitors, they were shot dead by the soldiers.

In addition, the remaining thousands of people put down their weapons one after another and became prisoners of the soldiers.

As a result, the entire city of Taiyuan, including Taiyuan Airport, was finally recaptured by the independent division after a night of fierce fighting by the soldiers. As the sun rose the next day, the gunfire in the entire city of Taiyuan finally stopped.

When the people in Taiyuan City opened their doors, they were no longer greeted by vicious little devils, but by soldiers of the Independent Division.

"Reporting to the division commander, the entire Taiyuan City is now completely controlled by our independent division. All Japanese troops have been killed. At the same time, 4,653 puppet soldiers and 456 Japanese civilians have been captured. Two Japanese arms warehouses and three material warehouses in Taiyuan City have been taken over.

An armory. At the same time, a large amount of weapons and ammunition were seized, including all the equipment and ammunition of a Japanese mountain artillery regiment. As for the remaining weapons, they are being counted." Just as the division commander Liu Hua once again stood on the Taiyuan city wall

While admiring this ancient city, Chief of Staff Li Qing came to Liu Hua with a smile on his face and reported excitedly.

"Okay, order the cavalry regiment to be on guard within fifty miles around Taiyuan, and report any enemy situation immediately. The guard brigade will immediately enter the city to maintain order in Taiyuan City. At the same time, the directly affiliated column will immediately replenish sufficient ammunition, rest and prepare for the attack.

The next big battle." Liu Hua ordered with certainty.

In his eyes, after last night's battle, he knew the true combat effectiveness of each unit in his hands. In addition, nearly 10,000 elite little Japs were wiped out in Taiyuan City. Liu Hua suddenly wanted to change himself

The initial battle plan was no longer as simple as just capturing Taiyuan City, but the entire Shanxi Province.

Because, at this time, in the entire Shanxi Province, except for the more than 10,000 Japanese Japs in Taiyuan, there was only an elite Japanese Kwantung Army brigade with less than 10,000 people left in the entire western Shanxi area. As for the remaining troops, although they had reached

A total of 30,000 people. However, those troops are garrison troops and cannot be the opponent of the column directly under their own command.

At the same time, if the entire Shanxi Province is occupied by ourselves, then we will have enough strength to recruit troops and hoard food and grass. We will build the entire Shanxi Province into an iron-clad base area and become the rear area of ​​our independent division and even the entire Eighth Route Army. In this way

If so, when the time is right, he can concentrate his forces and march into the Northeast without any worries.

"Division Commander, there is still a big battle to be fought. According to the news from the Second Division Plateau, an elite brigade of Japanese reinforcements is still nearly a hundred miles west of Taiyuan. It poses no threat to us at all. At the same time, if these troops are allowed to

If the little devils know that Taiyuan has been occupied by our army, I believe that the little devils in this brigade will retreat hastily, fearing that they will fall into our encirclement." Chief of Staff Li Qing, after hearing Liu Hua's words, his face was filled with emotion.

asked in confusion.
