The altar of the country.

Fang Ligong walked to Chu Yunfei with several telegrams and said, "I just received the telegram from the Independent Regiment. The Japanese who returned from Anhua, Lu'an and Yangquan to aid were all blocked by the Eighth Route Army."

He paused and said, "Li Yunlong also specifically instructed the hike."

"Instructions?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice and said again, "What did Li Yunlong say?"

Fang Ligong said: "He told the brigade not to be anxious, and he also said that as long as we fight in Taiyuan, their Eighth Route Army will be able to block the Japanese in Anhua, Lu'an and Yangquan."

"Hmph!" Chu Yunfei smiled and said nothing.

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

Unless the Japanese army draws heavy troops from Datong, Zhengding, or Zhongtiaoshan front to return to the rescue, it is another matter.

While speaking, the third regiment commander Zhao Zhenyuan walked in with a look of gunpowder and stood up to report: "The brigade, the Japanese who fought stubbornly in the outer city of Taiyuan have basically been eliminated."

"Very good!" Chu Yunfei said.

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

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei waved to the other two commanders and said, "You two are here too."

When the other two regiment commanders came over, Chu Yunfei said again: "This time the attack on the inner city will be based on the main attack and feint. All three of your regiments will be the main attack for me."

"The Third Regiment, responsible for Donghuamen."

"A group, responsible for Nanhuamen."

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

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

"I only have one requirement for you. At all costs, even if the whole group fights all, I will win the inner city of Taiyuan in the shortest time!"

"Yes! Ensure the task is completed!"

The three team leaders stepped forward and agreed with a loud promise.

Chu Yunfei said to Liang Gang again: "Brother Tiefeng, Xihuamen will ask you to be the 94th Brigade."

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

Chu Yunfei raised his left wrist and said in a deep voice: "It's 2 pm now, before dark, I hope there will be good news coming back!"

...

Takumi Mizuhara looked speechless.

As the commander of the military police and the head of the special high school department stationed in Taiyuan, Takuya Suwahara has actually left the army sequence and under normal circumstances no longer has to participate in combat operations.

His battlefield is a secret front.

His enemies are spies from all walks of life.

However, due to the misjudgment of the idiot Sakamoto Takaichi, the outer city of Taiyuan was lost, and the Gongyuan where the military police headquarters was located was also lost. Takuya Mizuhara could only take all the personnel under the military police to withdraw back to the inner city of Taiyuan, and then was assigned to Xihuamen by Yoshio Iwamatsu to be responsible for the defense of Xihuamen and the western section of the inner city.

In addition to the two military police squadrons under the military police, Guisuwara Takuya's troops were also equipped with a supplementary military squadron composed of headquarters service personnel and medical soldiers, with a total of 400 people.

In addition to rifles and pistols, there are also two Type 92 heavy machine guns, twenty-one Dasho 11th-year light machine guns and twelve Type 89 grenade launchers.

Although Takuya, an Osaka vendor, does not like fighting, he is not good at fighting. In fact, the Japanese have good tactical command capabilities. He did not place all his troops and machine gun fire on the top of the city, but only half of them were placed in the army and machine gun fire.

The remaining half of the troops serve as a reserve force.

The other half of the machine gun fire is left to the commando.

Takuya Suwon formed an assault team not for defense, but for launching a counter-assault at critical moments, because he knew very well that he would not be able to defend the situation in the end.

The defense deployment was just arranged, and the first wave of attacks of the Chinese army was immediately ushered in.

Looking through the castle walls, hundreds of Chinese soldiers were already carrying ladders and rushing towards Xihuamen Street like a tide. But what surprised Takumi Mizuhara was that these Chinese soldiers were actually wearing short cloth jackets.

"Secretary of Mizuhara, what kind of army is this? Cannon fodder, right?" Yusuke Kashida said disdainfully.

Yukisuke Kashida was originally a staff officer in the communications department of the headquarters, but now he has been assigned to Takuya Mizuhara.

Takuya Suwara shook his head, looked around and shouted: "Start fire, fire immediately, don't let them get close!"

As a defensive party, you can reap the dividends of a wave of initial battles, that is, you can put the offensive party at a very close distance and then use dense firepower to eliminate it.

The closer the attacker is, the fewer defeated soldiers will be able to escape back alive in the end.

Therefore, most of the time, the first wave of attacks is basically cannon fodder, which is used to explore the deployment of the defenders and the configuration of firepower.

That's what Yukisuke Kashida thinks.

At that moment, Yukisuke Katsuda said, "Secretary of Mizuhara, there is no need? It's just a group of cannon fodder, just a tentative attack. We can completely let it get closer and then fight."

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

"Soldiers are treacherous ways. Who can guarantee that this must be cannon fodder?"

"If this is the elite of the Chinese army, if you get closer, you might let them climb to the top of the city!"

After saying this, Takuya Mizuhara shouted again: "There are all, Sashi change, Sashi change..."

Accompanied by Takuya Suwara's roar, more than 200 Japanese soldiers guarding the city opened fire, including two Type 92 heavy machine guns and more than a dozen crooked light machine guns.

The dense firepower instantly poured down from the city wall more than ten meters high.

A fierce crossfire was formed on Xihuamen Street and several nearby streets.

The firepower covered the Chinese soldiers who were charging forward with a ladder fell in rows of blood. In a blink of an eye, several streets were already sleeping with corpses.

...

Five hundred meters ahead.

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

"Damn it!" Liang Gang punched the wall hard.

Because Liang Gang did want to steal the chicken just now, he planned to use the inertial thinking of "the first wave of attacks is cannon fodder" to catch the defenders off guard. For this reason, he specially selected more than 100 dead soldiers, including more than 20 young officers from the Central Military Academy's Teaching Corps.

But now, this idea has become a bubble.

The Japanese in the city wall of Ximen were unexpectedly cautious and opened their firepower across two hundred meters. Just a wave of firepower attacks caused a large amount of damage to the commando.

Looking at the falling commando team, Liang Gang felt so distressed that he suffocated.

"Order!" Liang Gang said gritting his teeth, "The artillery and heavy machine gun brigade firepower cover!"

With Liang Gang's order issued, he had already built a position on the houses on both sides of Xihuamen Street, and he opened fire in the civil-type 24 heavy machinery.

A series of dazzling flames immediately poured towards the city wall of Xihuamen.

After being countered, the Japanese firepower on the Xihua Gate wall suddenly became weaker, and it was no longer enough to stop the commando from advancing. Although more than half of the commando were killed or injured, the remaining members still rushed forward.

Behind the commando, more troops also flocked to the attack.

In a blink of an eye, the commando was approaching the western section of the city walls facing the Japanese machine gun fire.

Then one ladder after another was placed on the city wall, and then one after another Chinese soldiers held the ladder with their left hand and the rifle with their right hand, and launched a rushing attack towards the city.

The Chinese and Japanese armies under the city top launched a crazy shooting.

Chinese soldiers kept falling off the ladder, and Japanese soldiers kept getting shot.

Almost from the beginning, the battle has reached a white heat, and the number of casualties has risen rapidly.

...

Yukisuke Kashida was completely stupid.

Although this battle was not the first time Yusuke Katsuda went to the battlefield, it was the first time such a fierce battle. Looking at the Chinese soldiers who were screaming and climbing upwards, Yusuke Katsuda was completely confused. He never thought that such a fierce battle would be staged between the Chinese and Japanese armies one day.

Shouldn’t the Chinese soldiers be defeated at once? Shouldn’t the Japanese soldiers be invincible? Why is this happening?

"Chinese, go to die, go to die." The Kono Uei soldier howled, holding up the Southern Fourteenth Pistol that he picked up from somewhere and fired continuously.

As soon as a Chinese soldier climbed to the top of the city, he was shot by Kono and immediately screamed and turned over.

The Kono Upper House had just laughed twice, and a dazzling tongue of flame swept through the front, and the scorching bullets hit the Kono Upper House's chest like dense raindrops.

The Kono Upper Army was like leaves in the wind, being pulled over and pushed over.

After pulling it a few times, the Kono Upper House fell straight out of the city like a sawed piece of wood.

"Ammunition hand, come on an ammunition hand!" The entire face of the machine gunner Harada had been blackened by gunfire, and his eyes could hardly be opened, but he was continuing to fire based on his experience.

But a thirty round bullet-proof board is almost finished.

"Ammunition hand!" Harada tried hard to maintain the short-term points and asked for help loudly.

Shirata Yukisuke suddenly got a heavy kick in the butt and fell forward to the ground.

Then, Takuya Miwara's loud roar sounded behind him: "Idiot, why are you still standing there? Go and supply bullets quickly!"

Yukisuke Kashida woke up as if he was dreaming. He quickly crawled to Harada with his helmet, and hurriedly took out a bullet-saving plate from the ammunition box and inserted it into the ammunition supply trough.

But because of nervousness or panic, I failed to intervene several times.

"Haga, what are you doing?" Harada slapped Kashida Yukisuke's face, grabbed the bulletproof board and inserted it into the bullet supply trough, and then pulled the bullet with a click. However, just as Harada was about to press down the pressing iron, another dazzling tongue of flame swept across the city, and Harada immediately trembled like Kono just now.
