Chapter 315 of the text volume to attack Taiyuan!

Next chapter

According to Lin Yi's suggestion, after Li Yunlong asked the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army for instructions, the headquarters agreed to attack Taiyuan!

Lao Li immediately ordered that the 11th Regiment stay in Ping'an County, and the 1st to 10th Regiments of the Independent Brigade, plus the artillery regiment, cavalry battalion, baggage battalion, health team, etc., all marched in the direction of Taiyuan.

At this moment, the whole mountain-west was in chaos, and the Japanese troops everywhere went to reinforce in the direction of Taiyuan, but they were blocked by hundreds of thousands of troops such as the Jin Sui Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the armed forces in various places.

The bandits in the Xiaoao Mountains and forests also came out to join in the excitement, and the Japanese army's gathering points in various parts of the mountains and west, and even the county seats, were attacked.

Lin Yi led the special operations team of the Independent Brigade to clear the obstacles for the Independent Brigade and let the Independent Brigade drive all the way to the outside of Taiyuan.

It is said that it is to clear the obstacles, but in fact, it is just to pull out the small strongholds of some devils, and with the combat effectiveness of the special operations team, it is extremely simple to pull out these small strongholds. Either a surprise attack, or a direct mortar, covered with artillery fire.

The Independent Brigade came to the outside of Taiyuan and set up a temporary position, and they had received news that the 20th Brigade Regiment stationed in Shijiazhuang had been transferred to Taiyuan. That is to say, in addition to the only remaining wing in Taiyuan City, there is another brigade with complete equipment and tens of thousands of combatants.

The North China Command of the Japanese Army also attaches great importance to Taiyuan, but now the entire North China battlefield has become a mess, and fierce battles are taking place everywhere, and the North China Command can only transfer one brigade from Shijiazhuang.

The other is the superiority of the Japanese army's air supremacy and air fire support.

In the face of a newly arrived brigade in Taiyuan City, as well as an original wing, adding up to nearly 20,000 Japanese troops, the independent brigade was really a little unbearable. But the Independent Brigade was not without reinforcements, and Li Yunlong and Lin Yi's old friends arrived.

The command post of the independent brigade stationed outside the city of Taiyuan.

A heroic man with the rank of major general walked in, followed by four colonel-level officers, all wearing the military uniforms of the Jin Sui Army, with a straight posture and shiny riding boots on their feet.

"Brother Yunlong, meet again!"

The heroic man with a rare military rank is none other than Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment, but now he is already a major general and division commander.

The original independent regiment cooperated with the 358 regiment to completely annihilate a wing of the devil, Lao Li's independent regiment was expanded into an independent brigade, Chu Yunfei was not idle, he was directly promoted from the regiment commander to the division commander, and the troops under his command were also expanded to 20,000 people, a division of the first division.

Chu Yunfei is no better than Li Yunlong, he is a descendant general, and there is no shortage of equipment and military salary. Coupled with the original foundation of the 358th Regiment and the captured Japanese equipment, the expanded 20,000-strong Division A became a well-equipped ace unit.

"I heard that Brother Chu has been mixing well in the Jin Sui Army recently!" Li Yunlong laughed and greeted him.

"Each other, each other. Chu Yunfei also laughed, and immediately nodded with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also nodded, and greeted Sun Ming behind Chu Yunfei with his eyes.

Chu Yunfei was promoted to major general and division commander, and Sun Ming, the commander of the guard company, also rose to the top, and was directly promoted to the commander of the guard regiment, and his military rank was directly promoted to colonel.

"By the order of Chief Yan!"

After Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong greeted each other, they gave a military salute and said loudly: "Chu Yunfei led his troops to come and fight with friendly forces!"

"Welcome, welcome. I said Brother Chu, let's not come to this hypocrisy. Li Yunlong laughed, directly took Chu Yunfei's hand, and walked towards the command headquarters.

Chu Yunfei was full of crying and laughing.

Immediately, the two of them became serious.

After some discussion, the two contemporary famous generals agreed on the same opinion, and chose to charge collectively and fight in the streets, just like when they worked together to annihilate the Japanese army!

With the artillery fire capabilities of the Independent Brigade and Chu Yunfei's Division, they are not inferior to the Japanese brigades and wings in Taiyuan City, but the Japanese army has absolute air supremacy.

The fierce aerial firepower is enough to determine the outcome of a war, otherwise the army of the original national army of more than one million would not always lose the battle in the face of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

Although there are many reasons, the aerial firepower is definitely not to be ignored.

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei are both famous generals of the present generation, and they naturally know how to make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses; since they do not have the advantage of air firepower, they must find a way to make it impossible for the Japanese army to give full play to its air firepower superiority.

And rushing into the city to engage in street fighting, the opponent's aerial firepower will naturally not be able to exert itself, and the shells in the air will fall, and they don't know which side they are going to fall on, and it will hit their own people.

With the current strength of the Independent Brigade and Chu Yunfei's Division, it is enough to rush into Taiyuan City in a short period of time.

Both of them are resolute and resolute personalities, and they immediately gave the order to attack the city!

Target, Taiyuan City!

Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei stayed in their respective command posts again, and Lin Yi had already led an independent special operations team, ready to cooperate with the army, rush into Taiyuan City, and kill the little devil!

On the battlefield outside Taiyuan City, the shrill scream of cannonballs has already sounded.

The artillery regiment of the Independent Brigade, together with the artillery regiment of Chu Yunfei's department, was not a joke, and this was a rare battle in which the Chinese side had an advantage in artillery fire in a Sino-Japanese duel.

An artillery brigade in Taiyuan City could not compare to Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei's two artillery regiments in terms of firepower. The dazzling fires, dragging the long tail flames, not only fell on the walls of Taiyuan City and at the city gates, but also suppressed the Japanese artillery brigade.

With the superiority in artillery fire, the soldiers of the 1st to 10th regiments of the Independent Brigade, as well as nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Jin Sui Army of Chu Yunfei's department, launched an all-out charge.

As the side of the charge, despite the advantage of artillery fire, there were still soldiers who fell on the way to the charge, either killed by the light and heavy machine guns of the devils, or shot by the rifles of the devils.

If there is no artillery suppression, let the Japanese artillery fire be powerful at this time, I am afraid that this one charge will have to leave the corpses of thousands of soldiers!

But with artillery suppression, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, after paying the price of more than 1,000 lives, have rushed through this line of life and death and came to the gate of Taiyuan.

The gates of Taiyuan City had already been blown open, and the soldiers swarmed in.

After entering the city, Zhang Dabiao's 1st Independent Brigade Regiment and Shen Quan's 2nd Independent Brigade Regiment, as well as the two main regiments of Chu Yunfei's Division, immediately made a detour and counterattacked the city wall.

The independent 3rd to 10th regiments, as well as the rest of the regiments of Chu Yunfei's department, quickly dispersed in the city as companies and platoons, and launched fierce street battles with the Japanese troops in the city!

Lin Yi led the special operations team of the Independent Brigade to Taiyuan City and began to purge the little devils.

With the combat effectiveness of the special operations squad, they effortlessly defeated the Japanese troops in Taiyuan City. (To be continued.) )
