The War of Resistance: The Ten-Year-Old Warlord

After discussing with Ishihara Wan'er, Kiyoji Kagetsu immediately called the attacking troops on the Western Front.

The commander of the troops on the Western Front was Terauchi Shouichi, who had been an old partner of Kiyoji Kagetsu and was about to be promoted to Nanjing as the new commander of the dispatch army.

"Temple-kun, that Chen Fan actually didn't retire. You don't have to ambush him, I hope you will take Jinzhong with all your strength, and then advance to Taiyuan within two days. Kiyoji Kagetsu said of course.

But before he finished speaking, Shouichi in the temple over there was on fire: "Two days to hit Taiyuan? Are you kidding me? Also beat Jinzhong today, if you have the ability, you will fight a dozen, I will fight down anyway. "

Kagetsu Kiyoji was stunned, in his impression, Terauchi Shouichi was also a general who could fight, otherwise the military department would not have valued him and was ready to appoint him as the commander of the new dispatched army in Nanjing.

This kind of words came from the mouth of Terauchi Shouichi?

"Yaga, are you Terauchi Shouichi? Asked Terauchi Shouichi to come over and listen to the phone, "Kiyoji Kagetsu is angry."

Terauchi Shouichi was also angry: "I am Terauchi Shouichi, Kagetsu Kiyoji, you deliberately 10 me, right?" This damn Shanxi is a big iron plate, and their artillery is almost blown up to our logistics troops. How is this battle going to be fought? Did you see that I was going to be promoted to commander, so you deliberately gave me such a rotten errand to ruin me?"

Kiyoji Kagetsu already sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked what was going on.

Terauchi Shouichi said the current situation without anger.

It turned out that when he first entered Shanxi, the previous counties were easier to fight.

But when he advanced to Jinzhong, the painting style changed suddenly.

The garrison of Jinzhong suddenly bombarded the Japanese army with hundreds of artillery pieces, and the two brigades sent out by Terauchi Shouichi were directly destroyed by the regiment, and none of them escaped back.

Before Terauchi could prepare for the next attack, the Jinzhong defenders bombarded their main forces with artillery.

As a result of this indiscriminate bombing, one wing was blown up, the other two wings were scattered, and a large amount of materials were destroyed.

Qingji Kagetsu was stunned: "They, why do they have so many artillery pieces?"

Terauchi shouted angrily: "You ask me, who am I going to ask?"

Although Kiyoji Kagetsu was very angry, now that the battle situation has been fought like this, he can only hold on.

He still forcibly ordered Shouichi Terauchi to hit Taiyuan City in two days anyway.

If he can't do it, he doesn't want to be a commander.

Terauchi scolded his mother in anger, but Kiyoji Kagetsu hung up the phone directly.

Terauchi Shouichi can't help, who called Kagetsu Kiyoji is his commander, in the Japanese army, you must absolutely obey the orders of your superiors, this is a military rule that cannot be trampled on.

So, Terauchi Shouichi desperately launched a suicidal charge.

While covering the attacking troops with artillery fire, he called for air support to bombard Jinzhongcheng.

In just half a day, the two infantry divisions of the Japanese army launched seventeen consecutive rounds of attacks, using wheel warfare to fight a war of attrition with the defenders of Jinzhong.

At the same time, aircraft bombed Jinzhong City in turn, and specially bombed various artillery positions of the defenders.

But there were hundreds of anti-aircraft guns in Jin, and the devils did not blow up many artillery positions, but lost a lot of aircraft.

After almost six hours of fighting, both sides were exhausted.

Terauchi Shouichi counted that the attacking troops actually died almost 10,000 people, and the road to Jinzhong was full of corpses.

Although the Jinzhong side held it, they also paid a terrible price, at least two regiments of soldiers were killed, and hundreds of artillery pieces were blown up.

Almost half of the city was in ruins, and all positions were blown up by devils. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Such a fierce battle is rapidly consuming the comprehensive strength of both sides.

But the devil's forces still had the advantage, and their armored forces never appeared.

In view of the large number of casualties, Terauchi ordered his troops to stop the attack, and it was not until late afternoon that he launched a night attack.

Night combat, this is a fighting style that the devil is best at.

And night combat has the advantage that the artillery fire of the Jinzhong defenders cannot accurately hit the Japanese, thus greatly reducing casualties.

After another brutal exchange of fire for three hours, the defenders of Jinzhong suffered heavy casualties.

After the officers defending the city remotely consulted Chen Fan, they received orders to immediately retreat backwards until Taiyuan reorganized the defensive line.

As a result, a team of thousands quietly left Jinzhong in the middle of the night, leaving a ruins to the Japanese army.

Terauchi was overjoyed when he heard that the defenders were retreating, and personally planted a military flag in the center of the city, and also covered it with torches, and took a special photo.

The news of the capture of Jinzhong also immediately reached the headquarters of the Beiping Dispatch Army.

The entire headquarters was jubilant, and Ishihara and Kiyoji Kagetsu hugged and laughed and jumped.

Ishihara suggested that the troops on the Western Front attack immediately, not giving the Predator Legion any respite, and go straight to Taiyuan.

Early the next morning, Terauchi Shūichi marched towards Taiyuan with 163 slightly repaired troops.

The road was smooth and there was hardly any resistance.

The Japanese army walked almost swaggering through the territory of Shanxi for a day, approaching Taiyuan almost at dusk.

Perhaps the road was so smooth that the Japanese army lacked vigilance.

Just as they approached within twenty kilometers of Taiyuan, dense artillery fire came towards them like a shooting star.

The entire forward force was wiped out in an instant, even if Terauchi Shouichi wanted to save it, it was too late, the terrifying artillery fire swallowed all life, and whoever entered died.

Terauchi Shou was going crazy, and he vowed to take Taiyuan today.

But before he could arrange the attacking forces, there was a sudden rumbling sound in the air.

A large number of Stuka bombers dived directly at his troops, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese in the undefended zone.

Before approaching Taiyuan, the troops on the Western Front lost another quarter.

Terauchi Shouichi ordered his troops to retreat at full speed and leave the artillery bombardment of Taiyuan as soon as possible.

At the same time, the main forces of the Iron-Blooded Legion had already surrounded the Baoding Regiment.

And the armored troops commanded by Xu Shaohua also took advantage of the night to quietly come to the outside of Beiping City, ready to attack at any time.
