Check in from the bright sword

"In case, you didn't say it just now. The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Taiyuan was like a mayfly shaking a big tree. It's ridiculous." Yan Xishan said unhappily, "How could it be possible to win."

"But Chief, what if a miracle happens?" Director Guo whispered, "If a miracle happens, if the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really recovers Taiyuan, then the political impact will be too great!"

"Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, and it is also the foundation of your business for many years."

"Such a major event would not be appropriate without the participation of the Jinsui Army."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Yan Xishan twitched his beard lightly, and asked again, "How far is the 358th regiment stationed from Taiyuan? Is there enough time?"

Director Guo said: "The base of the 358th Regiment is less than 100 kilometers away from Taiyuan, and it can be arrived in a day with a quick march."

Yan Xishan said again: "I remember, from the 358th regiment's station to Taiyuan, you have to go through Anhua City? Anhua City is a regiment of the Japanese army stationed. Will it be blocked?"

"That was in the past." Director Guo said, "Now there is only one gendarmerie brigade stationed in Anhua City, and there are more than a dozen surrounding strongholds to take care of. It is simply impossible to stop the 358th regiment."

Chapter 274 Eager and Difficult

In a blink of an eye, it was evening.

The attacks of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment on Taiyuan's Dadongmen, Xiaodongmen, Yingzemen, and Cheng'enmen were not smooth. The two regiments organized many attacks, but they were all beaten back by the puppet army.

Not only failed to break through the city defense, but also sacrificed more than 100 people.

This time, the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army seems to have also suffered from heavy iron, and it is much more tenacious than before.

In the past, when encountering the Eighth Route Army, as long as the situation was slightly wrong, the puppet army would immediately put down their weapons and surrender.

And even if they shoot, most of them only shoot at the empty space, or simply shoot at the sky, but this time is different, this time the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army is really fighting.

And played tenaciously.

However, the independent regiment has been standing still.

When the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment organized an attack, the Independent Regiment never invested infantry to launch an attack, but only used artillery to aim at a section of the city wall behind Xihaizi and bombard it indiscriminately.

On the tower of Shuiximen.

Wan Yong, Ge Fugui, and Pan Ren were hiding behind the battlements and spying.

Pan Ren asked in confusion, "Brother, what are the Eighth Route Army doing?"

"Idiot, can't you see this?" Wan Yong said angrily, "The Eighth Route Army obviously wants to use artillery to open a gap in the city wall, and then attack the city from the gap!"

Pan Ren immediately rolled his eyes at Wan Yong.

Little boy, you're a softie, I didn't ask you.

Wan Yong turned his head and said to Ge Fugui: "Company Commander Ge, according to this method, the section of the city wall at Xihaizi will last until midnight at most. When the wall collapses, someone will have to block the opening."

"This arduous task is entrusted to you in the 3rd company."

"Why?" Pan Ren immediately became anxious, "Why is it our 3rd company?"

"Just because I'm the battalion commander! That's it!" Wan Yong snorted and left.

Watching Wan Yong's figure go away, Pan Ren's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Shut up, you'll know what to do if you're a bastard." Ge Fugui said angrily, "Are you trying to kill your mother, and your sister-in-law and Jiu'er?"

Pan Ren's face immediately collapsed.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the old devil, has lost his conscience.

The family members of many officers of their 8th Mixed Brigade were arrested.

It is for this reason that the two battalions guarding the East Gate, Yingze Gate, and Cheng'en Gate are working so hard. If they were to be delayed, they would have surrendered long ago.

In the evening, Li Yunlong rushed to the position of the artillery company.

"Pillar!" Li Yunlong roared angrily as soon as he came up, "What are you doing eating?"

"It's just such a section of the city wall, and it hasn't collapsed after beating for a long time. Can you do it right?"

"Regimental Commander!" Yu Chengzhu stepped forward and said with a sad face, "The devil poured cement into that section of the city wall, so it will be more difficult to beat than I expected."

Li Yunlong said: "Is 16 mountain guns and rapid-fire guns not enough?"

Yu Chengzhu said: "Commander, it's not a matter of more guns and fewer guns. If we can have a 1 flat-fire gun, one shell can penetrate the city wall! But now we only have 300 flat-fire guns."

Li Yunlong said: "Damn, don't you still have eleven 11 mountain cannons?"

"Mountain artillery is not a flat-fire artillery." Yu Chengzhu said, "The types of shells are different."

"Shanpao's shells are very good at hitting people once they explode, but they are very limited in hitting the city walls. The thickness of the city walls in Taiyuan must be more than 10 meters, and the grenade can't penetrate them at all."

"The caliber of the 37 kinetic energy ammunition is too small, and it cannot be pierced."

"So it can only be peeled layer by layer like peeling an onion."

Li Yunlong said: "Peel off layer by layer? How long does it take to peel off?"

Yu Chengzhu calculated silently in his heart for a moment, and said, "Leader, give me another 8 hours, yes!"

Li Yunlong said: "Okay, I will give you another 8 hours, no, I will give you another 10 hours, before tomorrow morning, you must peel off the city wall, or I will kill you."

"Yes!" Yu Chengzhu snapped to attention, and said loudly, "Don't worry, the commander, the artillery battalion guarantees to complete the task!"

"Hmph!" Li Yunlong snorted, turned around and left, and asked the guard Niudan as he walked, "Niudan, Staff Officer Wang hasn't come back yet?"

Niudan shook his head: "It seems not yet."

Li Yunlong said: "What is this bastard doing?"

"Ha chirp! Ha chirp! Ha chirp!"

Wang Yan sneezed several times.

Sun Ming on the side said with concern: "Old Wang, don't you catch a cold?"

"No." Wang Yan said sarcastically, "I won't catch cold even if you catch cold."

Sun Ming snorted, and then said, "Old Wang, is your method reliable?"

Wang Yan said: "I don't know if it's reliable or not. You have to try it to know."

While speaking, Wang Yan pressed the switch hard again, and the pendulum fixed on a wooden frame began to swing rattling.

Sun Ming on the other side started timing.
