"Buzz!"

"Buzz! ——”

Suddenly, the roar of fighter engines sounded over Taiyuan City, followed by a burst of rapid air defense sirens in the city.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack! ——”

Taiyuan City was in a mess.

Before the defenders could react, nearly 100 devil fighters formed a queue to penetrate the clouds, and rushed to the south gate of Taiyuan City with the momentum of goshawks fighting rabbits.

At the same time, they smashed bombshells down one after another.

The devil's aerial bombs, the smallest ones are dozens of catties, and the big ones are hundreds of catties, or even hundreds of catties.

Its power is only stronger than that of field artillery shells with a caliber of hundreds of millimeters.

In particular, those heavyweight bombs are even more powerful than the shells of the navy's naval guns of two or three hundred millimeters.

In terms of the power of a single aerial bomb, it is completely incomparable to the army's field artillery shells.

At this time, hundreds of devil fighters launched bombing at the same time, and one bombshell after another landed like dumplings, smashing down to the ground in a free fall.

The results can be imagined.

The entire south gate of Taiyuan City, and even a large area in the south of the city, were suddenly shrouded in a violent explosion, and the mountains shook for a while, as if the sky was falling apart.

The bombardment of the devils came so suddenly, without any warning, that the defenders in the south of the city did not have time to dodge and evacuate before they were swallowed up by the sudden explosion.

For a time, there were countless casualties.

The forts on the city walls, as well as the anti-aircraft installations, were blown apart by bombs before they could be used, and they flew out in all directions.

The raging aerial bombs were extremely powerful, and when a bomb fell, a radius of tens of meters was suddenly reduced to nothing.

Many houses and buildings in the south of the city were affected by the bombing, and they collapsed and collapsed one after another.

Reduced to a pile of ruins.

Some of the wooden houses even started fires, and the flames set fire to nearby houses, causing cascading fires.

At this time, Fu Yisheng, the commander of the Taiyuan garrison, was having lunch in the restaurant when he was suddenly stunned by a shocking noise.

He frowned, threw the job in his hand suddenly, and ran out like a burning buttocks, and happened to bump into a tactical staff officer of the headquarters, so he grabbed his shirt and neck and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Report to the Commander! The bombing of enemy planes seems to be coming from the direction of the south gate!" This tactical staff officer was also very frightened, and ran towards the cafeteria, just to report this emergency to Fu Yisheng and seek his advice and arrangements.

"Why did the little devil suddenly bomb my Taiyuan City? Could it be that in the first battle last night, the 108th Division was broken and sunk in the sand at Niushou Mountain, so the retaliation was not successful? ”

Saying that, Fu Yisheng quickly ran towards the headquarters, and at this time, the high-ranking officials of the garrison army also ran towards this side in a hurry.

"Call right away and ask about the situation at the South Gate!"

As soon as Fu Yisheng stepped into the headquarters, he immediately commanded a staff adjutant.

"Yes!"

The staff adjutant answered, and hurriedly turned around to make a phone call; At this moment, the phone of the garrison headquarters suddenly rang rapidly.

The adjutant of staff subconsciously reached out and picked up the phone.

After listening to the report on the phone, his face became extremely ugly, and he turned his head to Fu Yisheng and reported: "Commander, the big thing is not good!"

The south gate was attacked by the devil's aviation unit, and the new 3rd Regiment, which was responsible for guarding the south gate, suffered heavy casualties.

Moreover, the scouts of the new 3rd Regiment also found that on the official road in the south of the city, a large number of devil armored soldiers and cavalry were rapidly advancing towards the south gate!

Now it is the commander of the 1st battalion, Major Liu Zhendong, who has temporarily taken over the command of the new 3rd Regiment! He said that the south gate may be lost at any time, and the situation is extremely critical, so please send reinforcements to the headquarters as soon as possible!"

As soon as the tactical staff officer's words came out, Fu Yisheng and the others all changed their faces drastically, and their faces showed panic.

The next moment, Fu Yisheng said with a gloomy face: "It seems that this time the Japanese army is prepared, not just an air raid to retaliate!" ”

"Your Excellency, what now?"

At the headquarters of the garrison, all the officers looked at Commander Fu Yisheng with a panicked face and asked.

Fu Yisheng saw the idea of abandoning the city and escaping in everyone's eyes.

It's just that now, Taiyuan City has already been surrounded by the Japanese army, and even if you want to abandon the city and escape, there is no way out.

Originally, the west and south of the city were the retreat routes left by Fu Yisheng for himself.

However, at this moment, there are a large number of Japanese mobile troops in the south of the city, if you break through from here, won't you have to collide with them? What's the difference between that and looking for death?

As for the west of the city, what seems to be a good breakout point is actually completely unfeasible, because the battle of Niushou Mountain seems to have ended with the victory of the defenders.

But in fact, the strength of the defenders was extremely empty, and the officers and men of the 211th and 218th brigades guarding the position suffered eight or nine out of ten casualties.

According to reliable information, after the defeat of the 108th Division, the remnants of the army were quickly reorganized and combined with an infantry brigade transferred from the dispatch army.

Its total strength is still three or four thousand people, and its strength should not be underestimated!

Moreover, if they retreat from the Western Front, the Japanese mobile units in the south of the city will inevitably pursue them, and then they may fall into the embarrassing situation of being attacked by the enemy.

North of the city, don't even think about it.

Let's not talk about whether we can break through the combined defense line of the Japanese 5th Division and the 11th Brigade of the garrison.

Even if it could, a large area north of Taiyuan had completely fallen under the actual control of the Japanese army, so what could it do if it broke through to the past? Waiting to meet the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army?

The only one suitable for breaking through seems to be the only eastern front defended by the Tiger Ben Regiment.

In particular, the defenders of the Tiger Ben Regiment had just won a battle on the Eastern Front and annihilated more than 10,000 enemy soldiers, and now the morale of the Japanese 4th Division must be extremely low, and if there is the assistance of the Tiger Ben Regiment, it will definitely be able to easily break through the enemy's defense line.

However, Yang Chen was already at the east gate of Taiyuan City at that time, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, and he and the Tiger Ben Regiment swore to live and die with Taiyuan City!

After that, Fu Yisheng also tested Yang Chen's tone more than once, and the results he got were still very resolute!

Swear to live and die with Taiyuan City! There is no room for negotiation!

If he wanted to abandon the city and flee at this time, he was afraid that Yang Chen would never agree if he didn't stop him.

As for leading the Tiger Ben Regiment to assist them in breaking through, it is even more impossible.

Since he couldn't break through, Fu Yisheng could only choose to stick to it.

And the Tiger Ben Regiment is undoubtedly a trump card in his hand, if he can really hold Taiyuan City, then he will leave a name for eternity and be admired by thousands of descendants.

I have to say that this is also a big reason why Fu Yisheng is willing to take risks and stick to it.

Leave a name for eternity, who wouldn't want to?
