Chapter 927: The Wind Rises
"This old thing, he really knows how to act!"
Away from the city gate, the soldiers talked a lot, obviously satisfied with Xia Gong's performance.
Lu Yuan also looked at Xia Gong with a smile, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Xia Wuyang was the same as singing big operas, it turned out that he learned from this old thing, if he was born decades later, he might not be able to become a movie star.
It's a pity that the acting skills of these two fathers and sons are not used on the right path, one is used to bully men and women, and the other is used to sell the country for glory, which is really disgusting.
The group of three carriages went all the way, and it didn't take long for them to get away from Datong and come to a deserted place, where a few strange bird calls sounded in the woods, Mao Ying smiled slightly when she heard it, and it was also a bird call in response.
"Battalion Commander Mao, Regiment Commander!"
After a few sounds, a scout trotted out of the shadows and said with a happy face, "It seems that going out of the city is going well?" The brothers are all worried about death......"
Behind him, Big Bear came out with dozens of soldiers carrying seven or eight large boxes, among which in addition to the short guns he carried, there were two machine guns and some explosive grenades, and the most was a war knife more than three feet long, which was enough to hold several boxes.
As soon as they entered Xia's house, Lu Yuan had already sent people out of the city to agree on the place of pick-up, weapons and ammunition, and they must be transported into the city as soon as possible, even if they were discovered by the Japanese army, they could fight with the little devil with a gun in hand.
As long as you have a gun in your hand, you can do it without panic.
"Captain Chen, the pilots, and other soldiers have already entered the city in batches, and after handing over these weapons, we will enter the city as soon as possible!" Big Bear laughed.
Mao Ying and the others laughed and played with the soldiers and acquaintances, talking about the process of entering the Xia family, all of them danced with their eyebrows, and when they heard that the reason was actually because Xia Wuyang took Long Yun as a big beauty and robbed them into the Xia family, it immediately caused bursts of laughter.
"Dare to fight the idea of the dragon girl? This guy has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall......"
"It's really a matter of heaven for evil, but you can't live for your own evil!"
Many of the soldiers laughed and their stomachs hurt, and they said that although Long Yun is beautiful, it is a thorny rose, and there are not a few men in Trojan County who drool over Long Yun, but the one who dares to marry her home is just the head of the regiment, not only because Lu Yuan is the head of the regiment and the two are happy, but also because ordinary people can't lower Long Yun at all.
Hearing these discussions, Xia Gong felt distressed again, and secretly regretted that he didn't teach his son well, which led to today's catastrophe. But now, it's too late to say anything.
"Let's go into the city in batches!"
After resting, Lu Yuan ordered: "The main force of the Japanese army has left the city, and the attack of the Eighth Route will be launched at any time, so we should enter the city as soon as possible, just in case!" ”
"Understood!"
Mao Ying said to the bear, and then ordered to enter the city, after the people, they are hiding near the city gate, ready to respond at any time, although the weapons on everyone's bodies are in the box, but after occupying the Xia family, a lot of guns were seized from the Xia family, although they are all old-fashioned guns, but they should be enough to respond temporarily.
A group of people, each acting separately.
Taiyuan.
This thousand-year-old city was once again wrapped in the beacon fire in the sky, and the open space around the city was full of craters, and the corpses of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were everywhere, and the battle was extremely fierce.
In all the surrounding areas, there are confrontations between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army that rushed to help, this battle, with Taiyuan as the center, but it is by no means only Taiyuan, in the periphery of the encirclement to fight for reinforcements, the number of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese puppet army killed in the battle, by no means less than the number of people killed in the attack and defense of Taiyuan City.
Most of the city has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army, but they don't dare to relax their vigilance at all.
Because the Japanese troops in the city were scattered in every house and street, blocking the offensive of the Eighth Route to the death, and counterattacking the city wall at any time.
Every street corner, every broken house full of holes is a battlefield, and the Japanese army has arranged the entire Taiyuan into a meat grinder-like killing field, wanting to crush all the enemies who will attack in the future, or grind themselves.
It's just that in the face of the continuous attacks launched by countless soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, all the Japanese troops couldn't help but feel chills and despair.
Because none of these Eighth Route Armies seem to care about life and death, each wave of attacks is like a frenzy on the sea, wanting to swallow everything in one gulp.
In the previous battle for the city wall, the damage of the Japanese army was not large, so they defended it very steadily, like a rock, but they all knew that if the reinforcements did not come for a long time, no matter how strong the rock was, it would be destroyed by this frenzy sooner or later, and there would not be even slag left.
"The mountain and field team was blocked by the eight roads to the west of Taiyuan, and launched fourteen attacks in two days, annihilating no less than a thousand people related to the eight roads, but these eight roads were extremely tenacious, not only did not retreat, but they kept launching a counter-charge, and the mountain and field team suffered heavy casualties......"
"Nishino Dazuo led 500 imperial soldiers and more than 2,000 imperial troops to aid Taiyuan, but he didn't expect to be strongly blocked by the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army......"
"These damn Eighth Route local armed forces are not many, but they are extremely cunning, countless mines have been planted on the road of our army's advance, these mines are extremely powerful compared to the mines used in the Eighth Route before, Nishino Osano's troops advanced to Taiyuan for thirty miles, and the Imperial soldiers killed by the mines have exceeded fifty, and the casualties of the Imperial Alliance Army have exceeded two hundred, but they have not even touched the face of the Eighth Route Local Army......"
……
One telegram after another appeared on Matsui Ishone's desk, and a senior staff officer of the Japanese army said with a pale face: "Taiyuan City has repeatedly sent reports asking for help, and the outer positions have been lost, and now my heroic imperial soldiers are engaged in the most brutal street battle with the Eighth Road, making the last resistance, if no reinforcements arrive, the 14th Division of Zhongmu will be completely annihilated, and it will be repeated......
"Eight Grids Tooth Road, these damn dirt eight roads, all damn it!"
Matsui Shigen's face was ugly and roared, his teeth were gritted as if he was about to eat people, and he continued after a while: "Lieutenant General Toneoka's reinforcements, when will they arrive?" ”
"I set off at dawn, even if everything goes well, it will take two or three days to reach Taiyuan, I don't know if Taiyuan can hold out until that time......"
The staff officer said: "But fortunately, there is a wing of cavalry under Lieutenant General Changgang, if you use the cavalry to break through quickly, you can reach Taiyuan in more than a day......"
"As long as the reinforcements of Datong rush to the periphery of Taiyuan, the siege of Taiyuan will not be broken!"
Matsui Shigen snorted coldly and said: "The Eighth Route has consumed too much in the Taiyuan area, and the surrounding forces have been mobilized, and they have even begun to use local forces, which shows that they themselves have reached the limit, and the Tsuneoka Kanji Department will be the last straw that crushes them...... And those cavalrymen will stab into the chest of the Eighth Route Army like knives! ”
