"Boom!"

After the artillery company was in place, it immediately launched an artillery attack on the last stronghold of the devils, and as many as more than a dozen shells smashed into the machine gun positions arranged by the Japanese army, and the devil machine gunners who were manipulating the machine guns to continuously strafe at the Eighth Route Army were blown away on the spot, and the heavy machine guns were blown into fragments, and only the barrels of the guns kept rolling on the ground.

"Yaga! Will the heavens kill me? How could there be so many artillery pieces in the Chinese troops! Iguchi Shino asked the sky sadly.

"Captain Jingguchi, how can we resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army without heavy machine guns?" The Japanese officer was completely panicked and asked Iguchi Shino.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now is the time for us to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!" With a face full of grief and indignation, Iguchi Shino ordered the signal corps to send a farewell message to the brigade commander in Taiyuan Castle, Major General Honchuan Province, and then launched a suicidal attack on the Eighth Route Army with the remaining dozens of Japanese troops.

The officers and men at the bottom of the Japanese army were very badly poisoned by Japanese militarism, and when they reached a desperate situation, they often did not surrender to their opponents like the European and American armies, but led all their men to fight to the death, and would rather die than surrender to their opponents.

They put the spirit of bushido on the highest altar, thinking that they could return to the arms of Amaterasu if they died in battle, so the Japanese army was generally not afraid of death, turned a blind eye to death, and regarded death as glory.

For this kind of army that annihilates humanity, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have no second choice but to fulfill them and send them to see Amaterasu, so Jiang Yonghui did not hesitate to give the order to kill all the devils.

"Kill, give!"

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

In the face of the Japanese army's suicidal attack, the officers and men of the Eighth Route Army did not show the slightest softness, and the mortars and machine guns all sang together to fulfill the Japanese army's wish for death.

"Boom!"

"Dada-da-da!"

After a burst of gunfire, the slogans of the Japanese gradually stopped, and the battle ended. The Japanese army went south to Xinzhou, a strategic place in Taiyuan, and was easily taken by Ding Wei's Second Brigade. Subsequently, the soldiers of the 2nd Brigade divided into several routes and successively took the main defense areas such as Xinkou, Yuanping, and Laoxian, and completely closed the north gate of Taiyuan.

At about eight o'clock in the evening of the 16th, the commander of the 118th Brigade of the 109th Division, the third major general of Motochuan Province, received a farewell telegram from Iguchi Shino, and only then did he learn the bad news of the loss of all the 119th Wing's Yusha and Xinzhou.

The three major shocks of Benchuan Province did not dare to slack off, and immediately reported the loss of Xinzhou to Itagaki Seishiro, who is now the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Jin Province, and all the Japanese troops in Jin Province must be controlled by him.

Itagaki Seishiro's heart suddenly stagnated after receiving the report, and he vaguely felt that the instructor of the Eighth Route Army who had brought him great humiliation had returned, and immediately ordered the Taiyuan Army Air Force to dispatch planes to Xinzhou to reconnoitre.

Sure enough.

The reconnaissance plane soon brought bad news to Itagaki Seishiro, Xinzhou was really occupied by the Eighth Route Army, Itagaki Seishiro was furious, this Eighth Route Army instructor really kicked his nose in the face, did he really think that he couldn't deal with them?

As a result, Itagaki Seishiro decided to personally lead all the men and horses of the Fifth Division, which had completed the rest and replenishment, except for the Ninth Brigade, to conquer Xinzhou.

After being re-replenished, the 42nd Wing, which had been eliminated by the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, was re-replenished and re-replenished, so that the strength of Itagaki Seishiro's expedition to Xinzhou and the number of non-combatants totaled 17,000.

In addition, in addition to ordering his own Fifth Division to go north to conquer Xinzhou, Itagaki Seishiro also ordered the 108th Division stationed in Datong to attack Xinzhou in the south.

Itagaki Seishiro concluded that the troops of the Eighth Route Army attacking Xinzhou this time were Zhang Cheng's instructor, and he had already suffered from the instructor in the Battle of Xinkou, and attached great importance to the instructor.

In the Battle of Xinkou, the Chahar Dispatch Corps under his command was mixed into the 2nd and 15th Brigades, as well as the 42nd Wing under his command, which was successively eliminated by the instructor, causing the commander of the front army, Terauchi Shouichi, to be very dissatisfied with himself, and he had the intention of removing himself from his post and investigating it.

Thinking that he was almost forced by his tutor to be removed from his post and investigated, Seishiro Itagaki gritted his teeth with hatred for his tutor, he had been engaged in military career for decades, how could he have been so embarrassed.

He has always been invincible in the imperial army, both in the domestic high-level and among the soldiers of the imperial army, he has great prestige, but after meeting the instructor, he seems to have been unlucky.

"I can't continue like this anymore, the Eighth Route Army Instructor must be wiped out, and their blood must be used to wash away my shame, so that everyone knows that I, Seishiro Itagaki, am still invincible." Seishiro Itagaki swore fiercely in his heart.

Zhang Cheng, who had been keeping an eye on Taiyuan City, got the information that Itagaki Seishiro led the Fifth Division to the north to conquer Xinzhou, and suddenly jumped three feet high, and his heart was about to explode with joy: "The total annihilation of a division of the Japanese army, in the entire World War II, only the Mi army armed to the teeth can do it, and now Lao Tzu will lead a Tubalu to do it soon, except for the Mi army, who else?" ”

Moreover, what makes Zhang Cheng proud is that the Fifth Division, which he is about to be completely annihilated, is the first-class division in the Japanese army, and has fought with more than 70 Chinese troops in the Sino-Japanese battlefield in history, and no unit can destroy it, but now it is about to be wiped out by himself, so how can Zhang Cheng not feel proud and happy.

You must know that in the eight-year Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army, not to mention divisions, even brigades and wings were never completely wiped out by the Chinese army. That is, it was not until the end of World War II that a large number of castrated divisions were formed, and they were eliminated by the powerful Mi Army.

The political commissar saw Zhang Cheng like crazy, and couldn't help but advise; "They are all people who are division commanders, why are they still so frivolous, being seen by the soldiers will damage your image as an anti-Japanese hero."

Zhang Cheng laughed and said: "Political commissar, I'm so happy, I originally thought that the Japanese army would send the 118th Brigade out, but I didn't expect that it was the old devil Itagaki who brought the Fifth Division out." Hum! As long as the old ghost of Itagaki leaves the city and enters our ambush circle, then he will definitely die without a place to be buried. At that time, our instructor will become the first unit in history to destroy the Japanese division in a formed manner, can you say I am not happy? ”

When the political commissar heard this, he thought of the wonderful scene of eliminating the Fifth Division, and his heart was also hot, but he had always been young and old, and he quickly suppressed the joy in his heart, and habitually poured cold water on Zhang Cheng and said: "The Fifth Division is the ace unit in the Japanese army, even if it is surrounded by us, it has the strength to break through, division commander, don't be too happy." ”

After Zhang Cheng heard this, he quickly calmed down, and constantly perfected the battle plan in his heart, he let the Fifth Division escape by luck in the Battle of Xinkou, and this time he could not repeat the same mistakes.
