After receiving Li Ziyuan's order, He Sanliang, who was already somewhat unable to hold his breath, immediately gave the order to attack. Later, when he saw the fierce fight in front, he couldn't get on for a long time, and Dong Ping, who couldn't hold his breath for a long time, didn't say a word. Immediately spread out the entire line, and one battalion plus the rest of the three regiments launched a counterattack from the front of the three regiments.

The two battalions, with the cooperation of a regiment and a regiment reinforced by the column, and the rest of the troops, forced their way through the left and right flanks and rushed towards the already exhausted enemy troops. After being reinforced by more than 1,000 liberation fighters, Dong Ping's regiment was said to be a regiment, and the actual strength had reached the size of two formed regiments.

On the one hand, he has been recuperating for a long time, and on the other hand, he has been exhausted after a long war. On the one hand, the preparations are sufficient, and on the other hand, the embers have been consumed by carrying ammunition. On the one hand, the number of troops has been greatly strengthened, which is equivalent to a full doubling of the strength. On the one hand, more than half of the casualties have become the end of a strong crossbow that cannot be pierced.

Before Li Ziyuan counterattacked, he also found a way to strengthen a batch of light machine guns for Dong Ping. All the light machine guns in his inventory were transferred to Dong Ping. Coupled with the heavy machine guns transferred from various departments, as well as the light and heavy machine guns that originally insisted on the troops, the density of infantry firepower can be said to be unprecedented. This battle has been fought so far, in fact, the result has been decided.

Zhou Tong, who commanded the artillery, concentrated all his firepower and poured shells on the enemy's head despite the enemy's artillery counterattack. According to Li Ziyuan's order, there was no intention of stinging with shells. Zhou Tongzheng said to Li Ziyuan, when to do something, he knew very well in his heart.

Usually, it takes half a day to shoot a shell, but at this time, it is to let go of his hands and feet. Not only his mountain artillery, but also the brigade heavy mortar company under his command, as well as the mortar company to which Dong Ping's regiment belonged, were all concentrated by him and would be under unified command and fire at the enemy at the maximum rate of fire.

Although the firepower was compared with the enemy's, the mountain guns and mortars in his hands were absolutely inferior in numbers. But Zhou Tong really worked hard. He simply ignored the problem of the life of the Jin Mountain-building cannon barrel because of the quality of the cannon steel. Even with rapid fire that exceeds the prescribed rate of fire, as many shells as possible can be smashed on the enemy's head in the shortest possible time.

Under the full cover of artillery and light and heavy machine guns at all costs, Dong Ping and his regimental political commissar each led a part of the people, and the whole regiment, together with the thousands of liberation fighters who had just been replenished to him, all of them opened the way with a dense rain of bayonets, and under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire, they opened up the formation and rushed over like a sea of mountains.

At all, he didn't guard against Li Ziyuan and this hand, he was already exhausted by the enemy army, and the queue that was originally in an orderly manner was suddenly rushed into chaos. Especially the left and right wings, they couldn't withstand Dong Ping's counterattack at all. Less than an hour after the counterattack began, the connection between the rest of this division and Taiyuan City was less than a kilometer wide.

Under Dong Ping's fierce counterattack, the rest of the division fell into complete chaos. The troops were scattered and scattered, and the rear roads were almost cut off, and the morale of the army had completely collapsed. The division commander directly asked for reinforcements in plain language at his radio station.

At this time, the troops over there were fighting under a disadvantaged situation, and the troops inexplicably herded the sheep, and once again showed the fatal consequences. At first, with the support of artillery fire behind him, he barely managed to maintain the retreat under alternate cover. But as the number of casualties grew, it quickly turned into a rout, and even finally collapsed.

Most of the ammunition carried was consumed, and the American automatic weapon was useless. The troops, which were not good at white-knuckle warfare, relied on the overall superiority of the troops before, and they could still fight with the three regiments with bayonets. After losing the will to resist from top to bottom, they were rushed by Dong Ping's bayonet attack.

Under the assault of Dong Ping's bayonet formation, the entire battle order fell into complete chaos. More than half an hour after Dong Ping's counterattack was launched, he had already lost organized resistance. After more than an hour, it was enclosed in an area of less than five square kilometers with the temple as the core.

Not only did they fall into chaos, but the routed army that was like a swarm of headless flies in the encirclement, and even the artillery positions of the Jin Sui Army, which were covering them behind them, were also directly disrupted by the artillery positions of the Jin Sui Army that were packed into the encirclement. As a result, these artillery positions were directly taken down by Dong Ping, who had been beaten all the way.

The elite of the Central Army was completely herded by Li Ziyuan. The division commander simply didn't even care about the secret language, and directly called for reinforcements to Taiyuan and even Nanjing on the radio. However, the hundreds of thousands of Jin Sui troops in Taiyuan City were silent, and even the original artillery support became nonexistent.

At this time, all foreign aid could only rely on the king of Shanxi who was airlifted from Nanjing, and he was still a little hesitant to save these friendly troops who were not friends and the enemy was not enemies. He knew very well that his troops could fight some if they relied on the fortifications to defend to the death. If it is in a field battle, fighting more and fighting less is not an opponent of the PLA.

Just like the recent Battle of Jinzhong, his more than 100,000 horses were completely annihilated by the 60,000 local armed forces of the People's Liberation Army, and the main force of his Jinsui army was almost swept away. If it weren't for the 1st Corps of North China, which remained on the battlefield in Shanxi to fight, it would have faced the enemy with inferior forces and inferior firepower.

Not only was he exhausted after continuous fighting, but he also suffered one-third of his own casualties in the Battle of Jinzhong, and he was no longer able to fight without rest and recuperation. After the battle, he rested for two months, giving him a certain amount of respite and recovering his vitality under the general situation.

The Nanjing side also urgently airlifted a corps from Xi'an, and a division of troops from Yulin to strengthen the defenders. So that he was able to rely on the production capacity support of the Taiyuan Arsenal to re-expand the army to more than 100,000. At that time, there were only a few divisions left, plus some local miscellaneous weapons, I am afraid that Taiyuan City would not be able to hold it for a long time.

After recovering his vitality, in order to solve the food shortage in Taiyuan City and capture troops, he regained his strength one step further. He once sent seven divisions to attack east of the Fen River and west of the Tongpu Railway. As a result, not long after the dispatch, it was discovered that the Jin Sui army had broken away from the fortifications, and immediately ended the rest and recuperation, and the first corps of the People's Liberation Army that rushed over almost made dumplings.

After eleven days of fierce fighting, only half of the troops who attacked came back with the support of ironclad trains and artillery fire in the city at any cost. Not only did the food not be grabbed, but the strong men were not caught, and more than 10,000 troops were lost. And was advanced by the People's Liberation Army to the city of Taiyuan, and captured Taiyuan Wusu Airport.

The experience of the past made him very worried, once his troops were out of the fortifications, it would be difficult for the central army not to be rescued, and he would put the little capital he had left into part of it. It was precisely this worry that allowed the hundreds of thousands of troops who had an advantage in strength and firepower to be surrounded by tens of thousands of PLA troops and firepower as shrinking turtles surrounded in the city.

It's just that although he really doesn't want to save it, the problem is that it is not as good now as it was then. Without Nanjing's air transport, he couldn't hold Taiyuan City for half a month. I was afraid that I would not be able to save myself when I saw death, and offended the supreme leader of Nanjing, who was not open-minded, and the prince of Nanjing.

The Imperial Forest Army, which was formed by the prince, was wiped out under his nose. Not only was the air transport cut off, but the central army in the city was doing something at a time when it was already in internal and external difficulties. And he is also very clear about the truth of cold lips and teeth.

The king of Shanxi, who had some rat throwers, finally made up his mind to rescue. After Dong Ping's full-line counterattack had been launched for more than two hours, the belated reinforcements were finally dispatched slowly. It was only at this time that I made up my mind, and it was really too late.

The two divisions dispatched in the city, plus the remnants of the 10th Corps after the Battle of Jinzhong, were already too late. Before he could get close to the location of the besieged troops, he was discovered by Li Ziyuan's friendly neighboring troops. The commander of the corps immediately mobilized the strength of five brigades and surrounded the two divisions under the city of Taiyuan.

As a result, the two divisions of the Jin Sui Army were not only able to rescue the remnants of the division, but they were also dumplings by the People's Liberation Army that had just arrived to reinforce them. After three hours of fierce fighting, the two divisions ran back only half of the regiment. The other troops in the city, watching the friendly troops being surrounded and annihilated, just didn't dare to make any moves.

In particular, in order to alleviate the pressure on Li Ziyuan, the Corps mobilized its troops to launch an attack from the north and south of Taiyuan after the enemy's counterattack began, and even more restrained the enemy troops in other directions from daring to make any rash moves. What really played a role in the reinforcements was the 10th Corps, which was pieced together by the remnants of the Japanese army.

The 10th Corps, which was composed of the former Japanese army, concentrated more than 2,000 troops and with the cooperation of more than nine tanks and armored vehicles, and launched attacks on the periphery of Dong Pinghe's encirclement in turn. Considering that the Central Army in the encirclement had collapsed, it had not completely ceased resistance. He has no longer been able to draw up his troops and strengthen to the periphery to block the battlefield.

Li Ziyuan immediately decided to adjust his tactics at the first time according to the changes in the battlefield. The original idea of encirclement and total annihilation was changed to the tactic of encircling three and one annihilation. After making a cut, adopt the method of multiple pursuits, divisions, and annihilations. The enemy in the encirclement, after seeing that the PLA had made a cut, immediately rushed desperately towards the opening.

The situation, which was already chaotic enough, became even more chaotic because of Li Ziyuan's opening up. The passive resistance that had been there had been replaced by a strong desire to survive among the officers and soldiers in the encirclement. None of the division's units remained in formation, officers could not find soldiers, and soldiers could not find officers.

As a result, after a chaotic battle all the way, not only did he not run out of many people, but he also messed up the formation of the 10th Corps. By the time the three regiments of the Youth Army, which belonged to the division, barely struggled to withdraw to Taiyuan City, there was only half a battalion left. The 10th Corps that received them also had less than half of them left.

None of the mountain artillery battalions and one battalion of heavy mortars, as well as nine tanks, were able to return. Coupled with the two divisions who were also unable to come back, the distressed King of Shanxi trembled. And the culprit was even more simply, in the rout, even the command and direct teams were killed by Dong Ping's counterattack troops.

The major general, along with his deputy division commander, chief of staff, and his entire direct team, were taken prisoner in a daze. Four thousand, still wearing American-style military overcoats, carrying the wounded and sick prisoners, were brought back along with their equipment. A large number of American-made weapons became Dong Ping's trophies. Dong Ping, who was crazy, even rushed to the east gate of Taiyuan before withdrawing.
