Chapter 679: Taiyuan City Broken (1)

The ancient capital of Xi'an had a dragon and tiger fight, Tang Qiuli personally decided 273 lives, and sent more than 180 people to prison, Xi'an's original military and political system, almost a big change, the hidden dirt, was cleaned, the citizens applauded, this ancient capital of the six dynasties, rejuvenated, Xi'an was a sound of killing, happiness fell from the sky, the iron man Huangshan Tiger unexpectedly met his beloved lifelong partner Ouyang Lan.

In the face of Ouyang Lan's persistent pursuit, the eyes were instantly intertwined that night, it would be nonsense to say that the mountain tiger was not moved, but he was a person who was clumsy in words, Tang Qiuli asked for his opinion, the mountain tiger's face turned red, and he was at a loss for what to do, Ouyang Lan put his eager eyes on this loyal and wooden man, only in this way, but also saw the honesty in his heart.

Facing Ouyang Lan's expectant gaze, Shanhu suddenly had the courage, "Division, then take her, blame the pitiful" These words, from the mouth of the iron man Shanhu, it is really not easy, coupled with Shanhu's eager expression, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, Shanhu only then understood that he was deliberately teasing him, and he was embarrassed for a while, and pounced on him, just like when he was a child, when the two were joking, Tang Qiuli was not to be outdone, and hugged Shanhu.

The three women in the room were stunned, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not Xiaoling, they didn't know that Shanhu and Tang Qiu had a deeper relationship, in addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, there were also childhood partners, young friendships, deep feelings like brothers, and feelings that could entrust each other's lives, I had never seen a dignified general of the national army, the head of hundreds of thousands of troops, like a naughty child, rolling together with his subordinates, a rare scene

Especially Ouyang Lan, when he first saw the famous Vice Chairman Tang and the general who commanded the army, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, seeing the officers coming in and out, he was very respectful to Tang Qiuli, he was still the direct boss of his sweetheart, and he could decide the happiness of the rest of his life in one sentence, and he didn't dare to say anything superfluous, the situation in front of him, there was only one sentence that could describe Ouyang Lan's feelings, incredible

Tang Qiuli's heart, but there is a warmth in his heart, how long, it seems that he has forgotten the interesting things of the youth, years of fighting, facing strong enemies, maneuvering between high-ranking officials of the government and local powerful figures, the warmth in his heart has been sharpened, today's mountain tiger's subconscious actions evoked his hometown, the memory of childhood, until he rolled out of a hot sweat, the two of them waved their hands, Tang Qiuli was all over the body, the mood was comfortable, and the mountain tiger did not feel that he had committed a crime, how disrespectful.

Looking at the eyes of the three beautiful women who were almost cramping, they looked at each other and smiled, and the sincere feelings revealed in an instant made the eyes of the three women moisten, Tang Qiuli looked at Ouyang Lan who was still in amazement and asked, "Miss Ouyang, what are your plans when you arrive at Dingbian?" Ouyang Lan glanced at the mountain tiger timidly.

Tang Qiuli understood, and then said: "Miss Ouyang, is this good, when you arrive in Dingbian, you can choose a university to continue your studies at will, and let Huzi lead you to do it" This is the most appropriate arrangement, with the name of Shanhu, today's status, in Dingbian, in the entire independent division, there is no one who dares not to buy his account.

His good brother found a home, Tang Qiuli was in a good mood, and on the way to Dingbian, he deliberately arranged for Shanhu to take care of Ouyang Lan, creating an opportunity for them to be together, seeing that the relationship between Shanhu and Ouyang Lan was getting deeper and deeper, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were moved by the chivalrous softness of their beloved man.

Tang Qiuli received a report on the battle situation from Huangya Cave from Chang Feng, and after communicating with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in accordance with the deployment of the division commander, the garrison troops of Huangya Cave communicated with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, and this morning, together with the 129th Division and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the 115th Division, carried out a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army on the periphery of Huangya Cave.

Tang Qiuli immediately called back, "The Huangyadong garrison unit will completely annihilate the Japanese army in the department as quickly as possible, and then, with the two brigades directly under the division as the core, all the recruits who are training will end the training ahead of schedule, organize into a field brigade, and form the Taihang Mountain Field Corps, with Chang Feng, chief of staff of the independent division, as the commander of the corps, and go to the vicinity of Wuxiang to hide and standby, and the garrison task of Huangyadong will be handed over to Jiang Yanming's Huangyadong Garrison Brigade. ”

Tang Qiuli estimated that there were about 78,000 recruits trained in the Huangyadong Training Headquarters, but six new field brigades had been formed, and they had been trained for more than four months.

Subsequently, he sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, asking all units of the Eighth Route Army to immediately move south to the area of Changzhi after the end of the annihilation battle on the periphery of Huangyadong, looking for an opportunity to destroy the supply line of the Japanese army, and it is best to occupy Changzhi. General Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, was informed without concealment, and he believed that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army would actively cooperate with his strategic intentions.

Tang Qiuli on the way to Dingbian, dispatched troops, Yan Xishan in Taiyuan City, but was like a year, restless, he sent to the direction of Taigu three pro-training brigades, did not let him down, in the case of hasty battle, in Taigu, blocked more than 200,000 Japanese troops for three full days, each brigade casualties more than half.

Finally for Zhao Chengshou's troops to rush back to Taiyuan, to gain valuable time, the vanguard of two divisions and a brigade, has arrived at the periphery of Taiyuan, the follow-up troops are continuing to approach, at this time, the battle between Taigu and Jinzhong, are not optimistic, the pro-training brigade is exhausted, the end of the strong crossbow, Sun Chu in Jinzhong, is also hard to support, danger, the defense line is crumbling, within a day, several times urgent, fortunately not broken through by more than 80,000 Japanese troops.

Yan Xishan listened to the rapid telephone ringing in the command headquarters, and there was nothing to be done in his mind, Zhao Chengshou's vanguard was sent by him to a division in the direction of Jinzhong, a division and a brigade in the direction of Taigu, a total of more than 30,000 troops, in the face of more than 300,000 Japanese troops, how much of a role it could play, he knew very well.

In North China, only Tang Qiuli's military strength can relieve the siege of Taiyuan, and the others, including Lao Jiang, are far away from quenching their thirst, and Tang Qiuli cannot be contacted, so he sent a telegram to the commanders of the corps of the independent division, and even Liu Tiehan, who was far away in Cangzhou, also received a telegram from Yan Xishan, and the telegram was sent countless letters, and the answers obtained were all one result, the division headquarters was on the way, the whereabouts were unknown, and our corps also lost contact with the division headquarters, After communicating with the division headquarters, he must convey Commander Yan's urgent telegram to the division commander.

It was like this for several days in a row, Yan Xishan clicked his lips, and he also figured out some taste, don't Tang Qiu die and sit back and watch himself be wiped out by the Japanese, right? Thinking of this extremely terrible speculation, Yan Xishan couldn't help but have a cold war, if this is the case, Taiyuan is not guaranteed, Shanxi is lost, and the family funds he has accumulated for many years will also be lost, and there is only one way to give up Shanxi to the Japanese and run away in a hurry.

But the battle reports from all over Pingjin made him doubt his judgment, Tang Qiuli's troops, around Pingjin, fought fiercely with the Japanese, and even where Shanhaiguan was, they fought with the Kwantung Army, don't be Tang Qiuli's troops, they can't get out, they can't take care of reinforcing Shanxi, in Niangzi Pass, there are Tang Qiuli's troops of more than 80,000 people, it is said that Zhangjiakou also fell into his hands, shouldn't it?

However, Yan Xishan understands one thing, without the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, Taiyuan will definitely not be guaranteed, even with the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, he is also greatly injured, should he give up Taiyuan in order to preserve his strength, make a comeback, or should he fight to the death with the Japanese in Taiyuan and keep his painstaking management?

Tang Qiuli can come to reinforcements, fight, losses are inevitable, withdraw, lose more, hope and doubt, whether to fight or withdraw, several ideas, churning in Yan Xishan's heart, the plain and wise, quick-witted, calculating Chief Yan, almost tortured crazy, he couldn't sleep all night, meditated hard, and sought the safest way.

The shape of Taigu and Jinzhong, but it became more and more critical, the Japanese army with an uninterrupted continuous attack, stormed the defensive positions of the Jin army, the Taigu front, within one day, the Japanese army actually launched a divisional and regimental level attack as many as five times, overwhelming artillery fire, again and again flooded the positions of the Jin army, a reinforced division of troops, also almost exhausted, three pro-training brigades, only less than one and a half brigades remained.

On the front line in Jinzhong, Sun Chu's situation was relatively better, after increasing the strength of a division, the defensive front was stabilized, but the casualties of the troops were also close to more than half, the front line could not be supported, Zhao Chengshou's troops were still arriving at the periphery of Taiyuan one after another, and when they arrived at a division, Yan Xishan immediately put into the main battlefield of Taigu, these troops who marched long and quickly, did not have time to take a breath, and immediately entered the battle, tired soldiers, how could they fight again, in the face of the fierce artillery fire of the Japanese army, the Jin army troops who went up, suffered heavy casualties, and the defense of Taiyuan, It has become the most taboo tactic of increasing troops one by one.

Yan Xishan faced a large number of casualties every day, extremely painful, painful and bleeding, that was his hard work, relying on the capital of the three Jin Dynasty, only by constantly increasing the strength of the Taigu and Jinzhong battlefields that were in a sea of fire, could he support Zhao Chengshou's main force to arrive, he still doesn't understand, why did Okamura Ningji abandon Tang Qiuli and suddenly find himself to fight hard?

Zhao Chengshou's several vanguard troops were filled into the two battlefields of Taigu and Jinzhong, which were full of artillery fire, but there was no decisive change to the entire battle situation, and the Japanese attack force did not decrease, and the situation deteriorated further on the evening of 13 May, and the defense line of Taigu and Jinzhong was broken through by the Japanese army in many places.
