"Kill ......" A few shells soon rang out, and there was a shout of killing. 【】

More than a hundred cavalrymen rushed into the devil's defense line, and the living devil became a corpse. No matter how ruthless and murderous they were before, they were all pale at this time, and they also had expressions of fear and despair before they died.

The captain of the devil garrison on the tower also turned pale at this time, and muttered to himself: "Cavalry, there are even cavalry on Tuba Road!" They definitely want to take the airport and destroy it! ”

"All the troops that can still move at the airport have fallen up, and they must be blocked even if they die, and the airport must not be destroyed!"

"Contact the military department and request reinforcements. If no more reinforcements come, the airfield will be finished. ”

At the headquarters of the First Army, as soon as the guns outside the city rang out, Yoshio Shinozuka rushed to the war room.

"The sound of gunfire is coming from the direction of the airport, Chief of Staff, find out what is going on at once. The counties around Taiyuan City are still in our hands, how can there be an Eighth Route Army here, check it out for me immediately! Yoshio Shinozuka stared at the sand table in front of him and shouted dissatisfied.

The chief of staff had just returned less than five minutes after leaving, and his face was very ugly.

"Your Excellency Commander, the airfield has been attacked by at least one regiment of the Eighth Route Army, they are equipped with field artillery, the firepower is very strong, the airfield garrison has suffered heavy losses, request reinforcements!"

"Nani? A regiment of the Eighth Route Army, how did they touch Taiyuan City. What are the intelligence departments and reconnaissance troops doing, so many Eighth Route Army are hiding under our noses and we don't even know! Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned for a moment, and then turned into an angry lion, staring at the chief of staff, Major General Tanaka, and scolded.

Tanaka also held back his anger and had nowhere to vent.

But as the chief of staff, he could only endure it, and he also had to remind him of the seriousness of the matter when he knew that the commander was angry, so that he could make a quick decision.

"Your Excellency Commander, after you go down, you will definitely find out!"

"Several garrisons were not equipped with heavy weapons, and under the attack of the field artillery of the Eighth Route Army, they were definitely not opponents. We have stockpiled a lot of fuel and aerial bombs at the airport, and we also have a wing of combat aircraft, so there must be no accidents. Otherwise, we will not be able to explain to the North China Front Command, please send troops to reinforce the airfield as soon as possible! ”

"Yaga! This must have been a premeditated operation on the Dirt Eight Road! Yoshio Shinozuka already vaguely sensed that something was wrong. However, he did not link the attack on the airport with the fighting around Taiyuan, let alone the idea that the Eighth Route Army, which he had always despised would attack Taiyuan City.

Just then, another communications staff officer rushed in.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our telephone contact with Taiyuan Airport has been interrupted. The garrison sent an urgent telegram that the Eighth Route Army had entered the airport and asked for reinforcements! ”

The chief of staff immediately reminded: "Your Excellency, commander, it will be too late if you don't reinforce it!" ”

"Draw a cavalry squadron, a tank squadron, an infantry squadron, and the infantry squadron will draw a car transport and immediately reinforce the airfield!" Under the urgent situation, Yoshio Shinozuka could only temporarily put aside the worries in his heart and ordered with a frown.

The speed of the reinforcements was very fast, and they rushed out of Taiyuan City in less than ten minutes.

The cavalry was in front, the tanks were in the center, and the infantry was behind, and with a huge roar, they rushed to the airfield with murderous spirit.

"Regiment commander, devil reinforcements are out!" Zhang Qing, the commander of the first regiment of the Independent Brigade, was staring at the gate of Taiyuan City with a telescope, and the chief of staff next to him immediately reminded.

Although the chief of staff tried his best to suppress the excitement of Xia Neiying, Zhang Qing could still hear the chief's eagerness for the next battle.

"I saw it, it was cavalry and tanks, and the infantry was all in cars. It seems that the status of the airport in the hearts of the devils in Taiyuan City is not low! Zhang Qing analyzed.

"It's still the old head with a vicious eye, and the trick of hitting the airport first seems to be nothing, but it can make us easily eat so many devils!"

"Pass the order down and get ready for battle. Mountain artillery company, flying thunder artillery company, staring at the devil tank, one round of shooting will blow up at least half of the tank for me. ”

"Heavy machine gun company, guard company, in charge of devil cavalry. The others are in charge of the devil infantry, and strive to kill all the devils in one attack! ”

The battle started quickly and ended very quickly, and in less than ten minutes, the devil reinforcements were all wiped out.

Outside the small north gate of Taiyuan City, Wang Ping's eyes kept staring at the Taiyuan Airport, which had already dyed the sky red by artillery fire a few kilometers away.

Just when Wang Ping was getting more and more anxious, Chief of Staff Yang Xiong rushed over with an excited face: "Commander, good news, Brigade Commander Cheng has successfully entered the airport, and the Japanese reinforcements have also been wiped out by Commander Wang, and three cars and two tanks have also been captured!" ”

"Brigade Commander Cheng and several regiment commanders asked for instructions: Is it time to start the attack? After all, there are still many checkpoints and turrets of the Japanese puppet army outside the city, and it will take time to kill all the way to the city wall of Taiyuan City! ”

Wang Ping didn't speak, but stared at Yang Xiong and asked, "You just said that Zhang Qing also captured two tanks?" ”

"Two tanks are still not good! Can it be used! ”

"It should work!" Yang Xiong replied after thinking about it.

"The telegram said that the two tanks were not hit by shells, but by explosives that exploded next to the tanks, which shook the devils inside the tanks to death, and then captured them. On the surface, it is good to read it without damage, because no one in a mess will drive a tank, and I guess they don't know if the tank can be used either! ”

Wang Ping, who was still thinking about how to break through the north gate of Taiyuan City with the minimum casualties just now, immediately shot out two fine lights with a pair of eyes.

The unexpected gain of the two tanks made him think of the easiest and most direct way to break through the north gate of Taiyuan City.

And the key to this approach is that the two tanks must be intact, at least in terms of power.

After confirming the feasibility of this method, Wang Ping immediately replied: "Send a telegram to all regiments and start attacking!" ”

"Chief of Staff, I will give you the task of attacking the checkpoint turret outside Taiyuan City, in two hours, you will lead the troops all the way to the north gate of Taiyuan City."

"Assemble the guard company and follow me to the airport. If the two tanks can still be used, no, as long as one tank can be used, the casualties we have to pay to take the north gate of Taiyuan City will be much smaller! ”

Six mountain or field guns per regiment, at least nine mortars, and at least six thunderbolt guns, plus plenty of ammunition, meant that each regiment's attack would be sharper than ever.

Less than five minutes after Wang Ping's order to attack was issued, fierce artillery fire sounded in all directions of Taiyuan City.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka, who was also in a hurry just now but could still sit firmly in the Diaoyutai, panicked directly, got up from his seat with a rub, and shouted loudly.

"What's going on, why is there cannon fire everywhere outside the city! Chief of Staff, find out right away! ”
