As the battle progressed, the devils on the frontal battlefield were gradually driven back to their defensive positions by Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao.

The puppet army left behind on the devil's position played some role at this time, and under their response and cover, the defeated devils were able to withdraw to the trench along the way, and then relied on the trench to open fire to block the advance of the dragon's tooth column.

Just when Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao were blocked from advancing, the Second Division and the Guard Regiment met on both flanks, but they made amazing progress, and more than 10,000 conscripted devil soldiers were defeated and retreated by these two dragon tooth armies, and they turned around and fled.

The Guards Regiment and the 2nd Division pursued the whole line, and soon grabbed the butts of thousands of Japanese troops and broke through the first line of defense of the Japanese army from both flanks.

Seeing that the attack of the troops led by Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao on the frontal battlefield was blocked, Zheng Yunshan and Zhou Dasheng immediately divided their troops and launched a surprise attack on the devils and puppet army who were resisting head-on along the trenches of the devils.

He personally led the main force of the troops, continued to pursue the devils defeated by them, and pursued the devils in depth, and the momentum approached the railway station.

Suddenly attacked by the two flanks of the dragon's tooth column, the devils and puppet troops in the frontal trenches had become enemies on three sides, and after paying heavy casualties, they were finally defeated and retreated to the rear positions such as the railway station.

Qiao Youhua and Liu Yidao saw that they could not lose the opportunity, and immediately ordered the troops to attack with all their might, taking advantage of the situation to break through the Japanese positions on the whole line and pursue the railway station.

Inside the railway station, the former enemy command post of the Japanese army.

Escorted by several of his own soldiers who suddenly broke in from outside, Hashimoto hurriedly evacuated, passed through a traffic trench, came to the safety of the west side of the railway station, got on a side three-wheeled motorcycle, and then fled to Taiyuan City in a hurry under the foot escort of a group of devil soldiers.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Hashimoto looked back at the railway station position with the flames and the rumbling of artillery from time to time, and felt bitter in his heart, but he did not expect that the railway station defense line would be broken through by the enemy so quickly.

I will be defeated so completely, I am afraid that Taiyuan will not be able to hold it now.

On the other side, the pursuit of the cavalry battalion and the 3rd Infantry Regiment also came to an end, and more than 3,000 Japanese reinforcements fled in the direction of the railway station and airfield.

Most of them were chased and killed, Zhao Tiezhu collected his cavalry to rest, handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the infantry, and sent someone to report to Qiao Youhua and ask for instructions on the next move.

His cavalry battalion really needed to rest, because from the beginning of the battle to the arrival of devil reinforcements, the cavalry battalion had been on duty for more than five or six hours after fighting the enemy twice.

All of them are sleepy and lacking horses, even if the soldiers can still fight in spirit, but the war horses are already overwhelmed, and they must rest, otherwise the fatigue will outweigh the losses.

"Commander, the cavalry battalion and the third infantry regiment successfully defeated and completely annihilated the first wave of Japanese reinforcements, annihilating nearly 3,000 enemies, and are currently cleaning up the battlefield, Battalion Commander Zhao asked for instructions on the next combat action." Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Qiao Youhua returned the command to Liu Yidao, deputy commander of the First Division.

He returned to his own sortie position, and as soon as he arrived at the command post, a soldier ran to report to him.

Just as Qiao Youhua wanted to order the cavalry battalion to come back to rest, the roar of aircraft engines came from the distant railway station, and Qiao Youhua and the officers and soldiers in the command post couldn't help but change their faces.

Before Qiao Youhua could ask, the guards outside the command post exclaimed: "Commander, it's the enemy's planes, and they are carrying out air raids and bombing on our attacking troops." ”

Qiao Youhua immediately ran out of the command post, held up the binoculars to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that more than a dozen devil fighters and bombers were launching low-altitude dive-strafing and medium-altitude bomb-dropping bombing against their own attacking troops who were charging towards the railway station.

Under the air raid of the devils, the casualties of the attacking troops suddenly increased sharply, and the offensive also suffered a setback.

Qiao Youhua couldn't help frowning, ******, it's this group of nasty devil fighters again, sooner or later, Lao Tzu will have to form his own air force.

If it weren't for the sudden attack of this devil air force, it would have been a sure thing for his own troops to take the railway station, and although it would not turn the whole tide of the battle now, it would have increased the casualties of his own attacking troops a lot in vain.

This batch of devil fighters was indeed ordered to take off again urgently to help in the war, and the commander of the First Army in Taiyuan City, Kazuki Seiji, had already learned that Hashimoto had suffered a defeat outside the city.

So at the critical juncture, he still sent the last trump card in his hand.

"Commander, we have to find a way to kill the devil's air force, otherwise the next attack on Taiyuan will be interfered and blocked by them!" At this time, Zhao Youde, deputy commander of the Third Division, hurriedly came to the command post and said to Qiao Youhua.

Qiao Youhua pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Pass my order, the cavalry battalion, the third infantry regiment of the third division immediately stop cleaning the battlefield and rest, and immediately attack Wusu Airport, at any cost, but also for Lao Tzu to destroy this airport, so that these little devil fighters are homeless!"

Pull out this cancer that threatens us greatly! ”

"Yes!" One of the heralds suddenly complied, and immediately turned and ran to give the order.

Qiao tempted Zhao Youde and said: "Deputy Division Commander Zhao! ”

Sensing the solemnity in Qiao Youhua's words, Zhao Youde quickly straightened his waist, puffed up his chest and responded: "Yes!" ”

"I order you to immediately lead the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments of the 3rd Division to immediately make a sortie and join the frontal offensive battle, and at the same time organize machine-gun fire for air defense! Assist the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, the Guard Regiment and other departments, at any cost, but also to take the railway station for Lao Tzu and complete the strategic encirclement of Taiyuan!

Do you understand? ”

"Yes! Humble duty understands! Please rest assured, Commander, swear to complete the mission! Zhao Youde almost roared, responded loudly, and immediately turned around and left.

Soon, the Third Division, which had been left as a reserve, four or five infantry regiments, and more than 6,000 people, under the personal leadership of Deputy Division Commander Zhao Youde, brazenly attacked and joined the battle to attack the railway station.

The machine gunners were organized and began to fire into the air with intensive fire.

The other attacking units also divided into a considerable number of machine gunners and fired into the air to deal with the fighters who were constantly diving and strafing.

Under the desperate efforts of all the officers and men, two of the fighters who were diving and strafing were soon hit by a dense rain of machine-gun bullets.

7。 The 92mm machine gun bullet easily penetrated the defensive armor of the devil fighter, setting fire to the fuel tank of the two planes and one of them, and the plane dragged the billowing black smoke and crashed into the mountains outside Taiyuan City in the distance.

A pilot was hit and killed, and then lost control and plunged into the Fen River not far away, without exception, both Japanese fighters exploded and disintegrated at the moment they fell into the water, and the plane was destroyed and killed!
