Chapter 49: The army has withdrawn

"All the people at the gate of the city will stop me!" Cheng Lao Pole yelled at the chaotic crowd. In less than half a minute, the hundreds of people who were fighting at the city gate completely ceased fighting. They couldn't stop stopping, and the muzzles of hundreds of black holes outside were aimed at the city gate hole, and if anyone dared to disobey the order, it was time to greet the bullets next!

"Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong! My brothers and I are here to help you maintain order, and we didn't mean to cause trouble! The brush quickly raised his hands and explained. He's a big gangster in the city, but he doesn't want to die! Anyone who sees the muzzle of the gun has to be weak!

"Brush, bring your people here!" Cheng Lao pointed behind him with his hand.

"The others are standing here with their heads in their hands!" Gegen's hand pointed to the other side.

The brush took people out, but another group of people didn't let them, and they continued to entangle and wanted to continue fighting! This time it was not Cheng Lao's turn to speak, Ji Jinbiao was annoyed first, and as soon as the leopard's temper came up, he took the soldiers of his company over, punched and kicked and smashed the butts of the guns, and beat the dozens of suspects to the ground and lost their ability to resist.

After arresting these people, they were interrogated on the spot, okay, it turns out that these people are spies bought by the Japanese! Before the devil hit Taiyuan, he sent traitors into the city to create chaos in advance! As soon as the brush slapped the door of the head, I suddenly realized, I said, how can anyone dare to do it with me at the Taiyuan South Gate? It turns out that these bastards are traitors!

There's nothing to say about traitors, just kill them with one word! Ji Jinbiao was about to order the beheading of these traitors on the spot, but Hu Fei stopped them. No matter how traitors these people are, they are also Chinese, and Chinese killing Chinese will only make devils see jokes!

Hu Fei ordered to tie up this group of traitors with ropes and take them into the city and hand them over to the police station! There are prisons in the police stations that are used to hold these criminals. At the same time, in order to prevent the police from colluding with traitors to release these people again, Hu Fei asked Cheng Laogang and Gegen to take a platoon of people to the prison of the police station to guard the criminals on the spot!

The crowd of people congested outside the city gate was evacuated, and it was easier for those people blocked inside the city gate to get out of the city, and the congestion naturally did not exist. In order to prevent any more traitors from making trouble, Hu Fei did not enter the city, and he took the cavalry brigade to stop outside the Great South Gate to help maintain order.

Of course, in the process of maintaining order, it is inevitable that there will be various cases of theft of property and molesting of women, but these are all trivial matters. Since then, there has been no congestion at the Great South Gate, which is a fact.

As soon as the city gate is cleared, the people will go out of the city quickly, and by the time the sky is dark, it is estimated that there are more than tens of thousands of people going out of the city from the Great South Gate!

After working day after night, the number of people leaving the city finally began to decrease after dawn. Hu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he also wondered, how could such an important city gate as the Great South Gate not have a gatekeeper? He's been here for so long, why hasn't a defender in Taiyuan City come out to contact him?

As soon as Hu Fei told him about his doubts, Ji Jinbiao told him embarrassedly: Yesterday afternoon, the defenders of the city actually came out to meet them, but as soon as they heard that it was the cavalry brigade of the Seventh Army here, they returned to the city. Because he has been busy since yesterday, Ji Jinbiao forgot to report to Hu Fei.

Is this treating me like a gatekeeper? Hu Fei was indignant and was about to lead his troops into the city when a herald from the city suddenly came from the city. Commander-in-Chief Fu ordered Hu Fei: immediately lead the troops to enter the Great South Gate and build fortifications on the spot! With this order, the Great South Gate will officially become the defense area of the Independent Cavalry Brigade!

Military orders must not be violated! The Japanese army could come to the city at any time, and the work of building fortifications immediately came first! Hu Fei is not very good at building fortifications, but he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run? To build fortifications in the field is to dig trenches and build bunkers, and in the city it is natural to build barricades and arrange machine-gun fortifications.

To build a barricade, you have to use sandbags, Hu Fei doesn't have it on hand, but he can get it. Today, Hu Fei is already an organized person, and the Seventh Army is his organization. If you want anything, you can go to the warehouse of the army group and get it!

Hu Fei asked Li San to take the brothers of the supplementary company to the group army to receive sandbags, and by noon he had really brought thousands of sacks. They went to the open space outside the city and filled the sacks with earth, and built up the sacks one by one to form a simple barricade. Then near the city gate, wooden planks and wooden strips were nailed into barricades, and the city gate fortifications took shape.

Chief of Staff Liu Dong still has some experience in building barricades and fighting defensive battles. How to repair the barricades, where to put them, and where the machine gun fortifications are, everyone knows everything. Hu Fei made a start, followed by Liu Dong's design, coupled with Yang Jinsheng and a group of officers who had gone to military academies, the fortifications of the Great South Gate soon looked good.

Beginning in the afternoon of the next day, the national troops who had retreated from the Xinkou battlefield rushed to the outside of Taiyuan one after another. Some built fortifications on the spot, some stopped and didn't do anything, and some wanted to go into the city to beg for supplies.

When Yan Xishan withdrew from Taiyuan City, he took away all the gold and silver that he could take away. There is not much food and ammunition left in the warehouse, and Fu Zuoyi's Seventh Army wants to defend the city, so it naturally has to consume a lot of grain baggage, and he doesn't have much surplus food. That's it, General Fu still allocated a batch of materials as much as possible to support some of the troops outside the city who were familiar with him, for the sake of everyone being a national army.

There are so many old armies outside the city, some people get and some don't, and contradictions arise. Those who don't have food supplies want to go into the city to ask General Fu for it, can the Seventh Army let them enter the city? There was a dispute between the two sides at the gates. On the one hand, they wanted to enter the city, but on the other hand, they would not let it, and the two sides even developed to the point of facing each other at gunpoint!

At this moment, the devil's pursuers arrived!

Hundreds of thousands of national troops gathered on the outskirts of Taiyuan, some troops built simple field fortifications, and some troops had nothing, so could they fight a good war?

The devils concentrated hundreds of artillery pieces and bombarded them fiercely, dozens of planes bombed indiscriminately in the sky, and dozens of tanks and combat vehicles attacked back and forth. Although the officers and men of our army were in an irregular formation and were newly withdrawn from the Xinkou battlefield, they still fought stubbornly against the Japanese invaders.

Dongshan has fallen, and the plan to conduct a general decisive battle outside the city of Taiyuan has completely failed! General Wei Lihuang, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, was forced to have no choice but to issue an order to withdraw his troops from crossing the Fen River to the west.

On November 6, the vanguard of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army and the Chahar Corps had already arrived on the outskirts of Taiyuan, and immediately launched an attack on the defensive positions of our army outside Taiyuan!

Great South Gate, the position of the independent cavalry defenders. Listening to the rumbling cannon, Hu Fei's face was extremely gloomy. Although he didn't see the scene of the retreat of the national army in the northern suburbs, he could imagine it. The army has withdrawn, and now it's time to defend the city alone!

"Brother Fei, do you see what good things I got from the warehouse in the city?"
