Chapter 708: Come Quickly, Go Faster
Taiyuan.
After going through a lot of hardships.
The Japanese 1st Imperial Army's deputy commanders Yoshio Shinozuka and Chika Matsui successfully arrived at the vicinity of Taiyuan with Japanese and puppet troops.
"Shinozuka-kun, it looks like there's nothing wrong."
"Are you thinking too much?"
Matsui Chiga glanced around and said casually.
"Whether I'm overthinking it or not."
"Just launch a tentative attack."
"Send the order!"
"Let the 55th Division launch the attack."
"11th Heavy Artillery Regiment coordinated attack!"
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes swept around the surroundings.
Then he gave the combat order with a gloomy face.
"Only one division and one heavy artillery regiment?"
"Is it a little less?"
"Even if it's too empty."
"I'm afraid it's not something that a single division can take down, right?"
"If the entire army attacks from all four walls together."
"Maybe he was caught off guard."
"Taiyuan was conquered."
Chiga Matsui still has some fantasies at this moment.
"Ha ha……"
"Matsui-kun."
"A Type B division is really nothing."
"But we can also feel the New 1st Division's artillery fire from the side."
"In addition to the frontal battlefield, the 55th Division and the 11th Heavy Artillery Regiment will coordinate the attack."
"Other directions."
"I have also arranged troops to conduct a feint attack."
"rest assured."
"Matsui-kun."
"I want to conquer Taiyuan right away more than anyone else."
"If such an opportunity exists."
“It’s just that a lot of times, I really feel helpless.”
“The chances are always slim.”
A sigh was heard.
He shook his head silently.
The Japanese deputy commander Yoshio Shinozuka looked around.
The combat order was issued immediately.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The Japs began to advance.
……
On top of Taiyuan City.
Shan Tianxiang, commander of the Taiyuan Security Brigade, Ding Wei, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, Wang Chengzhu, deputy commander of the Heavy Artillery Division, and others stood on it.
At this moment, I saw the Japs coming.
Everyone was very excited.
There are actually quite a few defenders in the city.
When Lin Xu went to Tianjin, he drew an infantry brigade from the 1st and 2nd Divisions respectively.
In addition, two of the three regiments of the rocket artillery brigade were also taken away by Lin Xu, and one regiment went to Daxia Bay to cooperate in combat.
As for the tank brigade and cavalry brigade, they were also taken to Taiyuan by Lin Xu.
Of the three heavy artillery brigades of the heavy artillery division, Lin Xu took two to Tianjin and left one in Taiyuan.
Besides.
Zhou Weiguo also transferred a heavy artillery brigade from the Second Division to Longyuan Mountain.
It can be said that the troops that were withdrawn were basically the elite of the New 1st Division.
Most of the troops left behind in Taiyuan were new recruits.
but……
The proportion of new recruits is higher.
There may indeed be some problems with combat effectiveness.
But fortunately it was a battle to defend the city.
And there are enough troops left in Taiyuan.
Only one infantry brigade was taken from the 1st Infantry Division, which meant that there were still about 20,000 people left in the 1st Infantry Division.
The 2nd Infantry Division drew out an infantry brigade and a heavy artillery brigade, leaving more than 10,000 people.
All 31,000 men of the 3rd Infantry Division are stationed around Taiyuan.
The heavy artillery division still has one heavy artillery brigade left.
Besides.
There is also the Taiyuan Security Brigade led by Shan Tianxiang.
According to preliminary calculations, the entire Taiyuan now has nearly 80,000 troops.
An army of more than 80,000.
Fight against 100,000 devils and 100,000 puppet troops.
It seems like there is a huge disadvantage in numbers.
But it is obvious that the situation on the battlefield does not look like this.
First of all, the puppet troops are all garbage.
The combat effectiveness of 100,000 puppet troops may not be as good as that of 10,000 Japanese devils.
As for the Japs, their combat effectiveness is not bad.
But to the soldiers of the New 1st Division, the Japs were actually nothing.
What's more, it is under absolute firepower control.
"Report!"
"The Japs launched an attack from four directions simultaneously."
"Among them, the largest number of devils are located towards the East City Gate!"
The scout reported.
"These devils..."
"finally come."
"It's worth it that I've trained the soldiers till they screamed these past few days."
"Hey!"
"Everyone!"
"Our security brigade is not like your field troops, which can fight the devils anytime and anywhere."
"Our chances of defeating the Japanese are too few and far between."
"This time, we will take the lead!"
"Guard Brigade!"
"with full force!"
Shan Tianxiang, commander of the Taiyuan Security Brigade, gave the order.
More than 8,000 soldiers from the security brigade stationed on the first line of defense outside the East City Gate instantly entered combat readiness.
The equipment of the Taiyuan Security Brigade is much better than that of security brigades in other places.
Because there was another piece of equipment explosion recently.
Hundreds of thousands of devils’ special explosive equipment.
A large number of G43 semi-automatic rifles and MG42 general-purpose machine guns were exploded.
At this moment, the entire Taiyuan Security Brigade is fully equipped with G43 semi-automatic rifles and MG42 general-purpose machine guns.
and.
Because of Lin Xu's special definition of the security force.
So the number of machine guns in the guard brigade is twice that of the field troops.
In other words, the Taiyuan Guard Brigade is now equipped with more than 42 MG43 general-purpose machine guns, plus G semi-automatic rifles.
As for the artillery fire...
When the Japanese 55th Division Artillery Regiment's 36 Type 41 mountain guns and Type 11 field guns opened fire along with the th Heavy Artillery Regiment's more than heavy guns...
Seventy or eighty heavy artillery pieces opened fire outside the east gate of Taiyuan...the firepower was actually not bad.
But when the artillery of the New 1st Division opened fire one after another.
The Japs were silenced.
The 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Heavy Artillery Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division...
Three heavy artillery brigades...
Almost two hundred heavy artillery pieces.
Indiscriminate coverage.
boom!
boom!
Rumble!
Overwhelming.
Destroy corpses and destroy traces.
When the Japanese 55th Division's infantry rushed to the first front line outside Taiyuan East City...
The flames from more than 42 MG general-purpose machine guns were about to dye the sky red.
Take a look at it.
Besides the thrill, there is also excitement.
"retreat!"
"retreat!"
"Retreat immediately!"
"quick!"
"Do not hesitate!"
"Give the order immediately!"
far away.
The Japanese deputy commander Yoshio Shinozuka was like a frightened bird.
He was gasping for breath.
He was shaking all over.
"really."
"Everything is just as we expected."
"New First Division..."
"It's been planned long ago."
"Our so-called strategies are nothing but trifles in their eyes."
"They have already got everything about us under their control."
"We are the only ones still partying like fools."
"stupid!"
"go!"
"Preserve our vitality!"
"To make a comeback!"
Yoshio Shinozuka's voice gradually became sharper.
Although I had guessed that this might be the result when dealing with the New 1st Division.
But when this result really appeared before my eyes, I still felt a sense of sadness inexplicably.
The sense of sadness intensified rapidly.
dong dong dong...
How grand the Japs came.
How embarrassed he was running at this moment.
