However, things that made Ishihara Murao and Kobayashi Nakasa still behind.

Just when Ishihara Murafu shouted hoarsely at his soldiers, don't be afraid, continue to charge, and find a way to kill the dragon tooth tank that suddenly killed.

In the dark night, countless dragon tooth cavalry suddenly swarmed in, and before they could overtake the tank vehicles, they opened fire with submachine guns.

Suddenly, more dense submachine gun bullets poured like water, pouring down on the devil's attacking crowd.

The devil infantrymen, who had not yet come to their senses, were already a little frightened by the intensive machine gun fire and the power of the shells of the tanks, and fell in large numbers one after another.

With the continuous advance of the cavalry and tanks, the casualties of the devils continued to increase suddenly, their morale was low, and they became more and more powerless.

The fierce battle lasted for about 20 minutes, and the Japanese brigade that was the first to enter the ambush circle was completely annihilated by the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 2nd Division of Longya.

And here, after a fierce battle, the tank and cavalry units also killed at least more than a thousand devils, and on the Japanese side, Kobayashi Nakasa was killed on the spot by a shell, and Ishihara Murao was also shot in the arm.

At this point, more than half of the more than 4,000 devils have been killed or wounded, and seeing a large number of dragon tooth infantry swarming in, there is no possibility of success in breaking through.

The villager of Ishihara immediately turned around and ran, trying to escape back to Taiyuan City, and lingered for a while.

The rest of the devils also followed him, and fled to the Taiyuan White Gate in a hurry, and at the same time, the puppet army and the devil expatriates who went out of the city from the west gate were all wiped out because the puppet army, and the remaining devil merchant expatriates turned around and retreated to Taiyuan City.

However, when the devils fled back to the north gate and the west gate, they found that the military flag on the head of the city had been replaced with the five-star red flag that made them desperate.

Before they could get close to the city gate, the Eighth Route Army on the city wall opened fire one after another, and the bullets rained down, and the devils in despair fell one after another.

Ishihara Murafu was even more caught off guard, was hit by several bullets one after another, and fell down with a face full of unwillingness.

With the death of Ishihara Murafu, the remaining 2,000 Japanese troops became leaderless, with interception in front and pursuit in the back.

The dragon tooth infantry, cavalry, and tank units that were pursued by the ensuing city, together with the defenders of the city, completely gathered outside the north gate.

Since the devil soldiers were unwilling to lay down their weapons until they died, and they still resisted stubbornly, the dragon tooth officers and soldiers had to destroy them all.

Simon's devils were even more unbearable, because without the protection of the troops, they were completely lambs to the slaughter. In the end, it was General Zuo Quan who learned that a large number of devil expatriates were intercepted outside the West Gate, and after discussing with Qiao Youhua, he ordered the front-line troops to stop shooting, shouted to the devil expatriates, and ordered them to surrender.

However, among the devil diaspora and merchants, there are still hard-line and stubborn guys, shouting long live the bullshit emperor and unwilling to surrender to the Eighth Route Army outside the encirclement.

After Zhou Dasheng and Zheng Yunshan learned of the situation, they ordered the troops to continue firing and killed thousands of stubborn devils before finally forcing the remaining devils to land.

At this point, Taiyuan City was officially recovered by the Dragon's Tooth Column, nearly 10,000 devil soldiers and more than 20,000 puppet troops in the city were all wiped out, and nearly 100,000 devil expatriates were also killed and wounded in the three breakthrough battles.

The remaining about forty or fifty thousand people became prisoners of the Dragon's Tooth Column.

At the same time, the direction of the spicy mouth.

The attack of the 108th Division and the puppet army was once again repelled by the Eighth Route Army, and since the daytime, the 108th Division and the puppet army have launched their first attack, and more than 3,000 puppet soldiers and devils have died under the fire of the defenders' anti-aircraft machine guns.

Among them, there are more than 2,000 puppet soldiers, more than 1,000 devils, and countless wounded, and it is no exaggeration to say that the combat effectiveness of the 108th Division has been reimbursed by at least half.

The failure of the attack again may be due to heavy casualties, or it may be because it is almost early in the night, and the puppet troops of the 108th Division finally stopped the continuous attack and retreated to safety.

In the direction of the railway station, the 109th Division had already stopped its feint, because the mountain was thick and heavy had already learned that Taiyuan City had been lost and all the members of the Ishihara Village Husband's Department had been killed.

Therefore, as soon as the offensive of the 108th Division stopped, Shan Gang Houzhong personally led a team of guards and rushed over and walked into the former enemy headquarters of the 108th Division.

"Shangang-kun, why did you come here in person?" It was Shimoto Kummiya, who was annoyed by the repeated setbacks of the attack, that he was obviously a little surprised when he saw the heavy hills.

Shan Gang was even more anxious and said: "Xia Yuanjun, Taiyuan City has been captured by the Chinese army, and all the imperial warriors below Ishihara Murafu have also been killed in battle, and they are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor." The two of them forgot even the most basic etiquette among soldiers.

"Nani? What about the 100,000 expatriates in the city? How are they? Xia Yuan Xiong Mi was taken aback and said.

Shan Gang shook his head and said, "I don't know, life and death are uncertain." ”

After a pause, Shan Gang said in a serious voice: "Xia Yuanjun, Taiyuan City has now been captured by the Chinese army, which means that they no longer need to draw a considerable part of their forces to besiege the city, but can use more troops to block us."

Therefore, we may face an even more dangerous situation next, and at most tomorrow morning, the Chinese army may transfer the troops attacking Taiyuan.

In other words, there are only a few hours left for us to break out, and we have to break out before dawn.

Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

Shimoto Kumaya said bitterly, and his chief of staff, Suzuki Toshiyuki, said stiffly: "General, it's not that we don't do our best, but the spicy branch of the Chinese blocking force, the firepower is very strong, and we have suffered nearly 10,000 casualties."

Although there were Imperial Allied troops as cannon fodder, our entire 132nd Infantry Wing and 52nd Infantry Wing were almost disabled, and the casualties were too high. ”

Yamaoka Chonghou naturally knew that the spicy mouth was a difficult bone to gnaw, sighed, and didn't say anything anymore, for a while, the command post of the 108th Division fell into a short silence, and several high-ranking officers of the devil were thinking about their way out.

At this time, at the railway station, Qiao Youhua and General Zuo Quan already knew the news of Taiyuan's recovery, and the two of them ordered the signal corps to send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Chairman Mao and other leaders of the Party Central Committee in Yan'an to report this good news.

On the one hand, the soldiers were arranged to move the headquarters into Taiyuan City overnight.

Before leaving, Qiao Youhua said to General Zuo Quan: "Chief, Taiyuan has been recovered by our army, and the devils outside the city should already know, just in case, I will immediately transfer the ambush and siege troops to the south of the railway station, and take the initiative to attack the devils south of Lazikou and the railway station."

Bite them to the death, not giving them a chance to escape. ”

"Now? The siege troops have been fighting fiercely for most of the night, do you want them to rest and go back early tomorrow morning? "Zuo Quandao.

"Chief, don't you hear that the soldiers are fast and act like a tiger in one blow? I'm afraid that the devil will learn the news tonight and come up with something we can't think of to escape, then we will be empty. Qiao Youhua said.

Zuo Quan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, that's good, just do as you say." ”
