Check in from the bright sword

"All troops, use any means to hold down the devils!"

"Yes!" Company Commander Tang replied, then turned around and went back to assign people.

Boss Peng said to Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo: "Old Zuo, once Taiyuan falls, it will be a big deal. I'm worried that the old devil Neji Okamura will also be alarmed."

"The Japanese army in North China may also come for reinforcements!"

"Especially the Japanese 8th Brigade and 110th Division in Zhengding!"

"So, immediately contact the Jizhong Military Region and let them do their best to destroy the Zhengtai Railway!"

"The Jinsui Military Region and the Jinchaji Military Region must also take action to stop the Japanese troops who might come from Datong or even Baoding for reinforcements! In short, we must buy as much time as possible for the 386 brigade!"

"Yes!" The left deputy chief of staff saluted solemnly.

Boss Peng's worries are by no means superfluous.

Because Neiji Okamura already knew the reason for the fall of the outer city of Taiyuan.

"Cunning Chinese people!" Neiji Okamura lamented helplessly at the telegram in his hand, "He used an attack plane full of kerosene and aerial bombs to hit the city wall!"

"A huge explosion of this magnitude!"

"Let's not talk about the Taiyuan City Wall, even the fortress can't stop it!"

Miyano Michiichi said in a deep voice: "What's more worrying is that there are not just one or two aircraft parked at Taiyuan Airport, but a total of 17 Type 16 attack aircraft and [-] Type Zero fighters!"

"In addition, there are hundreds of tons of kerosene and a large number of aerial bombs!"

"Since the Eighth Route Army can use planes to blow up the outer city, it can also use planes to blow up the inner city of Taiyuan!"

"And I'm worried that it won't be too long. The Eighth Route Army only needs to demolish the houses on both sides of the street facing the city gate, and then simply level the street, and then they can take off and land!"

Hearing this, Neiji Okamura's expression became even more embarrassing.

"Taiyuan, absolutely must not fall!" Okamura Neiji gritted his teeth, "Otherwise, the impact will be too great!"

"Yes!" Miyano Michiichi said deeply, "If Taiyuan falls, even if it is regained soon, it will definitely cause fatal damage to the reform government in Shanxi!"

"Because Shanxi is no longer safe!"

"Taiyuan is no longer a security zone!"

"Order!" Ning Okamura shouted, "The 26th Division of the Mongolian Army immediately went south from Datong, and the independent and mixed 15th Brigade immediately went west from Baoding, and cooperated with the 110th Division and the 8th Brigade to launch a saturated attack on Taiyuan. Rescue!"

"Hayi!" Miyano said after a pause.

Chapter 287

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio has regained his composure.

The outer city of Taiyuan has already fallen, and things have already happened like this. It doesn't matter if you lose face, lose your job, or even be forced to restore your reputation in the way of a samurai.

That's all for the future.

The top priority is to defend the inner city first!

Once the mind is calm, the thinking will immediately become clear.

"Tanaka-kun, gather all the mortars and grenades in the gendarmerie brigade and guard squadron."

"We must do our best to prevent the Eighth Route Army from cleaning up civilian houses and laying simple runways for the saturated bombing of Xihuamenwai Avenue."

"Don't economize on ammo!"

"If the inner city falls, all the ammunition will be lost!"

"Put all the machine guns in stock on the city walls!"

"At this point, don't pay attention to the principle of firepower survival."

"Although the machine guns are deployed at various commanding heights, the first batch is destroyed, and the second batch will be used!"

"Anyway, the spare weapons in stock are enough for us to last for a while, so don't talk about saving at this time."

"In addition, the arsenal, the general material warehouse, and the vaults of the Industrial Bank, the Bank of Korea, and the Yokohama Specie Bank must also be prepared for blasting!"

"Reserve the blasting team!"

"If the inner city is not safe, blow up all supplies immediately!"

"We must not let a bullet, a grain, or a foot of cloth fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army!"

Shinozuka Yoshio's orders were issued one after another, and the Japanese military police brigade and guard squadron began to get busy, adding troops to the four walls of the city.

While busy burying explosives.

At this time, outside Xihua Gate.

Li Yunlong was about to talk dry.

But there are still some people who are unwilling to give up their homes.

When Li Yunlong was at his wit's end, Zhao Gang arrived.

Zhao Gang followed the 1st Battalion to the arsenal before.

Because he thought of a problem, even if the equipment in the arsenal was dismantled, if there were no workers who knew how to operate it, these machines would be just decorations.

So Zhao Gang wanted to mobilize the workers in the arsenal.

At least part of the skilled workers must be mobilized.

Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, why did you come here?"

Zhao Gang has gotten used to Li Yunlong's style, and knows that this is not really a curse.

At that moment, Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "How can it be so easy to do ideological work, it takes time."

Li Yunlong said: "You came just in time, quickly help me with the ideological work of the remaining ten households, and let them vacate the house quickly!"

Zhao Gang asked, "What's the situation with the remaining dozen?"

Li Yunlong said: "I don't know what's going on, I won't vacate the house anyway! If they don't want to vacate the house, we can't lay a runway! Without a runway, we can't blow up the city gate!"

Zhao Gang said, "That's fine, I'll go and tell them."
