Chapter 874: Tank Heroism
Although Yamaoka Chonghou was reluctant, he also understood that there were nearly 100,000 overseas businessmen in Taiyuan City, and there were many family members of the imperial army soldiers.
Even if it was almost impossible to attack head-on, break through and receive reinforcements from the Dragon's Tooth Column, they had to give it a try.
So, Lieutenant General Yamaoka Chonghou gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's okay, just according to what General Xia Yuan said, let's try our best." ”
…………
At about one o'clock in the morning, a deafening explosion sounded again on the blocking position south of the Taiyuan Railway Station, which had been silent for more than an hour, and it was the devil who once again launched an artillery bombardment on the position of the Longya blocking force.
Clusters of firelight bloomed one after another in the dark night, and countless shrapnel continued to rage in all directions in the smoke.
In the trenches of the 1st Division and the Guard Regiment, tens of thousands of officers and men of the Dragon's Tooth were hiding under various bunkers and fortifications, waiting for the battle, and they did not flinch or waver in the slightest despite the wanton bombardment of the Japanese puppet army, and they all held the determination to live and die with the position.
In the command post of the railway station, Qiao Youhua and General Zuo Quan had just deployed their new battle plan when they were startled by the sudden sound of artillery bombardment.
The two of them walked out of the headquarters one after the other, and followed the prestige to the south, only to see a continuous scarlet fire rising from the direction of the blocking position, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.
Qiao Youhua turned back to General Zuo Quan and said, "It seems that the Japanese devils are about to attack my blocking line again." ”
"The devil did not retreat at this time, but unexpectedly continued to attack our defensive line, which is really intriguing!" General Zuo Quan groaned.
"I think maybe they are unwilling to give up the Japanese puppet army in Taiyuan City, especially the large number of Japanese expatriate businessmen." Qiao Youhua thought for a while.
General Zuo Quan nodded happily and said, "It seems that it should be, according to the information we have, there are at least nearly 100,000 Japanese expatriates and businessmen gathered in Taiyuan City. Come to think of it, the little devil will not give up lightly. ”
"Hehe, isn't this more beneficial to us? The later the devils leave, the more time we have for a roundabout ambush. By the time they noticed it, our two elite infantry regiments had already completed their deployment, and they would have become turtles in the urn haha! Qiao Youhua said with a smile.
"Well, that's right." General Zuo Quan nodded his head and said.
Qiao Youhua walked back to the command headquarters, suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Yansan: "Yansan, where is the tank unit now?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? Didn't you say you'd be able to arrive before 12 o'clock? ”
Li Yansan said: "I'll go to the power generation to ask." ”
Li Yansan was just about to turn around and go to the confidential room, when a fragrant breeze wafted, and Wan Yinger, who was heroic in a military uniform, walked in with a piece of telegram.
"Commander, chief, I just got a telegram from the tank reinforcements, they have rushed to five miles east of the railway station, and found a fierce battle south of the railway station, and the battalion commander of the lead team asks for instructions, are they directly engaged in the battle?" Wan Ying'er saluted Qiao Youhua and General Zuo Quan.
General Zuo Quan was slightly stunned when he saw Wan Ying'er, a female confidential officer, and smiled in surprise: "This girl is good, heroic, and has the heroic spirit of a woman who does not let her eyebrows go." ”
When Qiao Youhua heard that the tank unit had arrived, he was also in a good mood, and introduced General Zuo Quan: "This is Wan Ying'er, deputy director of the confidential department of our Longya Column, and his father, Comrade Wan Hu, is in charge of the intelligence work of our Longya Column, and has made a lot of contributions to the establishment and development of our base area. ”
"This is the deputy chief of staff of our eighteenth group army headquarters, and now he is also the political commissar of our dragon's tooth column, chief of staff, and head of the left power!" Qiao Youhua introduced Wan Yinger again.
Although Wan Yinger didn't know Zuo Quan just now, she still called General Zuo Quan out of caution, and Qiao Youhua was still very satisfied with her adaptability.
Only then did Wan Ying'er know that this turned out to be the deputy chief of general staff of the headquarters, no wonder the commander was respectful to him, and hurriedly saluted again: "Good chief." ”
General Zuo Quan waved his hand very happily and said, "Hello, don't be too stubborn, we are all revolutionary comrades, but the division of labor is different." ”
After speaking, General Zuo Quan put away his smile and said to Qiao Youhua: "Comrade Youhua, since our tank reinforcements have arrived, can we give the Japanese devils a fierce counterattack to cooperate with my blocking troops to send reinforcements?!" ”
Qiao Youhua nodded knowingly and said: "This is a must, and it is time for the little devils in Shanxi to taste the majesty of my dragon tooth column tank armored unit." ”
After saying this, Qiao Youhua instructed Li Yansan and Wan Ying'er: "Immediately upload my order, the cavalry reconnaissance battalion will immediately assemble, and after meeting with the two tank companies that rushed to reinforce it, after the Japanese puppet army launches an attack on our blocking line, immediately attack, and give the little devils and the second devils a head-on attack!" ”
"Yes!" Li Yansan and Wan Ying'er stood up and saluted at the same time, and then turned around and left.
In Taiyuan City, after receiving a notice from the joint command of the 108th and 109th divisions, the Japanese puppet army concentrated its forces and organized a new breakthrough operation.
This time, the Japanese army mobilized more than 4,000 infantry and 3,000 more elite puppet troops, a total of more than 1,000 people, and also mobilized all the trucks, motorcycles and even some armored vehicles that could be mobilized in the city.
Prepare to do everything in your power to escort the people out of the city.
In addition to this, the Japanese commander also ordered the Japanese puppet defenders of the three gates except the West Gate that after the operation began, they must take the initiative to launch a counterattack against the dragon tooth troops blocking them outside the city.
In order to disperse the forces of the Dragon's Tooth Column at the West Gate, in order to prepare for their breakthrough operation at the West Gate.
The reason why the devil was able to mobilize so many troops to participate in the battle of the Ximen Breakout was entirely because the dragon's tooth column outside the city had completely stopped attacking and turned to the defensive.
In addition, in the dark night, it is difficult to detect the specific changes in the city.
The cavalry reconnaissance battalion of the guard regiment, which was originally responsible for dispersing the operation and monitoring more than 100,000 devils and the reinforcements of the puppet army, immediately took action after receiving Qiao Youhua's order.
After more than ten minutes, the assembly was completed, and it joined forces with its own tank reinforcements, which had been ordered to quietly arrive near the railway station.
The Japanese artillery bombardment finally ended, and what followed was a ferocious attack by the Japanese army, because this was the last attempt, so the devils no longer had any reservations.
As soon as they came up, they put in two of the most elite field infantry wings, totaling more than 6,000 people, and swarmed like a tide towards the defense line of the First Division and the Guard Regiment of Longya.
The devil was menacing, Qiao Youhua and General Zuo Quan glanced at each other, and ordered in a deep voice: "Tank, cavalry attack immediately!" ”
PS; The reason why there was no change yesterday and the day before yesterday is because there was a problem with the broadband at Saburo's house, which was repaired the day before yesterday, and it was broken yesterday, and it was just repaired today, so please forgive me.
