"Nani?"

"Give up the outer city?"

"Retreat to the inner city?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Ryuichi Sakamoto in surprise.

"Yaga, do you know what you're talking nonsense?" Hanaya was furious when he heard this, and he also slapped Ryuichi Sakamoto in the face with a backhand.

"Does the outer city say that you can give up if you give up?"

"Do you know how many institutions there are in the outer city?"

"Even the gendarmerie headquarters is out of town."

Not to mention that most of the officials of the puppet SX provincial government, as well as those Shanxi gentry and wealthy businessmen who defected to the Japanese government or were friendly with the Japanese government, basically owned mansions in the outer city.

To give up the outer city is to give up all the squires and wealthy merchants.

This was not only a heavy military blow to the Japanese army,

It is also a heavy blow at the economic and political levels.

At this moment, Hanaya really wanted to slap Ryuichi Sakamoto's dog head.

This damn fool came up with a bad idea to put a good defense of Taiyuan in a predicament from the first day, and now he has to come up with another bad idea to harm people?

"Hello!" Sakamoto Takashi paused, and insisted, "I know that the outer city of Taiyuan is very important, and I also know very well that giving up the outer city will have a serious impact on the reputation of the imperial army in Taiyuan and even the whole of Shanxi, but I know even more that if you don't give up the outer city when the current situation is not completely erosive and there is still room for redemption, and shrink all the forces to defend the inner city, then in the end, not only the outer city cannot be saved, but the inner city is also unable to hold, and the entire Taiyuan will be lost!" ”

"Nani? Will the whole of Taiyuan be lost? Hanaya said angrily.

"Ryuichi Sakamoto, what nonsense are you talking about? The battle has just begun. ”

"You dare to say that Taiyuan can't hold it, you are shaking the morale of the army!"

Iwamatsu Yoshio's expression also cooled, and he deliberately spread shocking words in an attempt to shake the morale of the army, which was to be executed according to the regulations of the Japanese Army.

Ryuichi Sakamoto can't take care of these anymore.

He also said: "Your Excellency Commander, you can put me to death, but please be sure to abandon the outer city and devote all your forces to the defense of the inner city walls, otherwise Taiyuan will definitely be lost." ”

"Baga, do you dare to spread amazing words?"

Hua Gu Zheng said angrily: "Guard, drag this guy out and kill him!" ”

"Wait." Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Sakamoto-kun, go on." ”

Seeing that Ryuichi Sakamoto would rather be executed than insist on his point of view, Iwamatsu felt that he should at least be given a chance to state his point of view.

At the moment, he said: "If you don't give up the outer city, why will Taiyuan be lost?" ”

"The reason for this is simple." Sakamoto Takuichi said in a deep voice, "Because the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army of China will inevitably use house-to-house street fighting as the main mode of combat in the future." ”

"The peculiarity of house-to-house street fighting is that the casualty figures will be very close."

"Under the premise that the courage of both sides is almost equal, no matter how big the difference in firepower between the two sides is, the casualty ratio will not be too different, basically one to one!"

"So if you don't give up the outer city of Taiyuan,"

"In the event of a house-to-house street battle with the Shina Army,"

"Then the casualty figures of the Imperial Army and the Chinese Army will not be too different."

"In other words, the Chinese army only needs to pay about 3,000 people to exhaust the entire strength of the imperial army."

"And the time also depends on the intensity of the offensive of the Zhina army, if the Zhina army continues to launch high-intensity street battles at all costs, it will consume all the strength of the imperial army in the shortest day and night."

Speaking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "This means that under extreme circumstances, Taiyuan will be completely lost within a day and night, and the situation in Shanxi will be completely reversed." ”

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help but gasp.

If Taiyuan is lost, I am afraid that the battle of the Central Plains will not be able to continue.

If such a situation were to occur, His Excellency the General would never spare him, and His Majesty the Emperor would not let him go.

"Alarmist!" Hanaya Masashi no longer believed Ryuichi Sakamoto, and said coldly, "I don't believe that the Chinese army can fight a one-to-one casualty ratio with the imperial army in street battles, not to mention that there are two regiments of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army in Taiyuan City, which is also an armed force with more than three thousand people." ”

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, why should you deceive yourself?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto did not change his poisonous tongue attribute just because he was beaten.

"Not to mention that the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army is now being rectified, even if the rectification is completed, it is not a powerful military armament, so it is okay for them to rely on the city walls to defend the city, and expect them to start a brutal street battle with the regular army of China, and fight a one-to-one casualty ratio, this is simply a fool's dream."

"What's more, is the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army really reliable?"

"When the Imperial Army has the upper hand, of course there will be no problems."

"But once the imperial army is at a disadvantage, especially when Taiyuan is about to be lost, and the entire Shanxi war situation may be subversively repeated, the imperial army will no longer be reliable."

"After all, the people of China are the people of China!"

"Yaga!" The valley of flowers is getting more and more violent.

Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand and said, "What about artillery and heavy machine guns?" ”

"Blow it up!" Ryuichi Sakamoto gritted his teeth and said, "Blow them all up!" ”

"Nani? Blow them all up? "What are you talking about?" ”

"Command!" Iwamatsu Yoshio gritted his teeth and shouted, "The troops who are fighting in the streets of the houses on both sides of Gongjimen Street and the Zhina Army immediately blow up all the artillery and heavy machine guns, and withdraw from Houzaimun into the inner city of Taiyuan!" ”

"Nani?" Hanaya said dumbfounded, "Your Excellency Commander? ”

"Also, immediately take back the ammunition issued to the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Cooperative Army."

"Until the battle is over, the 4th Mixed Brigade is not allowed to take half a step out of the barracks."

"Send a squadron of infantry to watch them, and if anyone disobeys, shoot them to death!"

"Nani?" Hua Gu is completely dumbfounded, is Your Excellency the Commander cerebral palsy?

Seeing that Iwamatsu Yoshio had adopted his suggestion, Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn't help but increase his confidence, and said, "Your Excellency, commander, even if you give up the outer city, you won't hold on for more than two days. ”

"Therefore, we must let Lu'an, Anhua and Yangquan send troops to reinforce as soon as possible."

"However, if I am not miscalculated, the Eighth Route Army in the southeast and northwest of Jin will definitely not sit idly by, and they will definitely block it, so I have to ask the 26th Division stationed in Datong or the troops on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain to transfer troops to reinforce them, and the strength of the reinforcements must be at least two infantry wings or more."

But this time, Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't quite take it up.

It was only agreed to transfer troops from Anhua, Yangquan and Lu'an.

Two infantry brigades were drawn from each direction to reinforce them.

Yoshio Iwamatsu felt that there were six infantry brigades coming back to help,

It was enough to annihilate Chu Yunfei and Liang Gangbu with internal and external attacks.

……

On both sides of Gongjimen Street, private houses.

The Tiger Squadron of the One Brigade of the Jin Sui Army and the Jiaolong Squadron of the 94 Brigade of the Central Army have also been engaged in street fighting, and Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang are really attacking at any cost.

These two Whampoa students are really loyal to Chang Kaishen.

Sun Ming pointed to the corner of the stairs, Gao Shenxing bowed slightly, then untied a grenade from his waist, pulled the fuse and threw it behind the corner of the stairs, boom.

A dazzling red light suddenly bloomed.

The two of them dodged out at the same time, and shot at the corner of the stairs with submachine guns, and the two devils hiding at the corner of the stairs were instantly beaten into a sieve.

After descending to the corner of the stairs, the two did not rush down.

Gao Shenxing picked up a devil corpse and threw it down like a sack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Shenxing and Liang Gang dodged out from behind the corner of the stairs at the same time, one of them fired at the first floor from the top of the passage, and the other was lying on his back in the corridor, sliding down quickly while leaning back at the first floor.

Two people with two submachine guns formed a crossfire.

The two devils guarding the staircase on the first floor were instantly beaten into a sieve.

At that moment, a smoking grenade rolled over.

"Holy!" Sun Ming, who had just slipped to the ground on the first floor, hurriedly grabbed the corpse of a devil and covered it in front of him, only to hear a bang, and there was a faint popping sound.

When the red light dispersed, Sun Ming put down the corpse of the devil.

When I looked closely, I saw that the side of the devil's corpse facing the grenade had been shot into a honeycomb.

Gao Shenxing slid down the handrail of the stairs with an imitation M1921 Thomson submachine gun, and after landing on the ground, he gave his free right hand and gave Sun Ming a thumbs up: "Good skills, brother." ”

"So-so." Sun Ming grinned and said, "You're not bad." ”

Gao Shenxing pursed his lips when he heard this, pulled out a bayonet from his waist, and then slid to the wooden wall on the first floor, and the grenade just now was thrown from behind this wooden wall, and there was a window on the wall.

After getting ready, Gao Shenxing shot at Sun Ming with a sign language and a grenade.

Sun Ming understood, and immediately untied a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it through the window.

Gao Shenxing listened attentively, faintly heard the sound of footsteps, and then a person leaned against the wooden wall, and no longer hesitated at the moment, and stabbed into the wooden wall with a knife.

Fragile pine planks simply could not stop sharp bayonets.

The bayonet pierced the plank wall with a single blow and pierced the body of the devil opposite.

The devil on the opposite side immediately let out a scream, Gao Shenxing quickly flashed to the side, and Sun Ming immediately pulled the trigger and shot at the opposite side of the plank wall.

The gunfire stopped suddenly, and Gao Shenxing kicked out again.

I heard a bang, and the plank wall fell backwards.

Almost at the moment when he kicked down the wooden wall, Gao Shenxing faintly heard a metal crash in his ears, this sound, how did it sound like the impact sound of a cannon bolt locking?

In the next moment, Gao Shenxing's hairs stood upside down.

"Get out of the way!" Gao Shenxing roared, and the whole person fell out to one side.

Sun Ming was about to follow up, and when he heard Gao Shenxing's warning, he immediately fell sideways without thinking.

At the same time as falling out on his side, Sun Ming subconsciously looked back, just in time to see a ball of red light hitting the wooden wall and flying over, Sun Ming even saw the high-explosive bomb in the red light package! It's a cannonball!

It was too late, it was too late, and Gao Shenxing and Sun Ming had already flipped to the ground.

The high-explosive grenade that pierced through the wooden wall also exploded, and a large number of metal fragments instantly shot in all directions, and the air wave generated by the explosion almost overturned the entire building.

A large number of floor slabs and rafters fell in an instant.

Gao Shenxing and Sun Ming didn't have time to react at all, so they could only hold their heads in their hands and curl up their bodies into a ball.

In a trance, another explosion was heard, and it was in the next room where the cannon was hidden.

Gao Shenxing wiped his face, and when he got up to look again, he happened to see two devils escaping from the main door of the next room.

Gao Shenxing raised his submachine gun and was about to open fire, when two gunshots rang out from the roof of the opposite building, and the two devils who had just rushed out of the main gate fell to the ground.

Gao Shenxing probed a little and saw two snipers hidden on the roof of the opposite building.

One of the snipers also gave him a sign language: the devil is striding back!

"The devil withdrew?" Gao Shenxing was stunned, "Are they going to give up the outer city?" ”

……

Chu Yunfei had already moved his headquarters to the Sheji Altar outside the Gongji Gate.

And Liang Gang did not establish his own command and chose to merge commands.

It can be seen from this that Liang Gang is different from the vast majority of Kuomintang generals, in his eyes, the army does not belong to the individual, but to the country, so he can not hesitate to hand over the troops to Chu Yunfei to command.

Chu Yunfei asked Fang Ligong and said, "Brother Meritorious, can the intelligence department contact Zhong Yunhe?" ”

"Zhong Yunhe?" Fang Ligong asked in surprise, "Brigade seat, do you want to plan the fourth mixed brigade against the puppet army?" That's impossible! ”

"How do you know it's impossible?" Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "It's true that I have a personal grudge with Zhong Yunhe, but as long as he can repent and put his family and country first, I can not blame the past." ”

Liang Gang also said: "If we can really show the strength of recovering Taiyuan, and the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in Shanxi is really likely to be completely reversed, it is not impossible to rebel against Zhong Yunhe." ”

Fang Ligong said: "Okay, I can try." ”

As he spoke, a staff officer walked in to report.

"Brigade, the devil has withdrawn and abandoned the outer city."

"What, the devil withdrew?" Chu Yunfei was stunned when he heard this.

Fang Ligong said: "Withdrawn? This is not quite the same as the wargames we did before. ”

In the previous two war games, whether it was the first time Li Yunlong pretended to be a Japanese soldier, or the second time Chu Yunfei pretended to be a Japanese soldier, they all chose to fight street battles in the outer city.

Although the results were all won by Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei was not without gains.

And Chu Yunfei also knew that Li Yunlong and Wang Ye were helping him design tactical play in this tactful way, and he did adopt the opponent's tactical play, and the effect was good so far.

So far, the Japanese army's tactical play is almost no different from Li Yunlong's.

However, now, the situation has suddenly become different, and the Japanese army actually withdrew?

Liang Gang said in a deep voice: "Brother Yunfei, it seems that the devil has also seen through our intentions, so he decisively gave up fighting with us in the outer city, and instead concentrated his forces to defend the walls of the inner city. ”

Chu Yunfei sighed softly, feeling a little pity in his heart.

What a good opportunity, there was a chance to cripple the Japanese army in Taiyuan in a street battle.

If this were the case, it would have been much easier to capture the inner city, but now, things have changed.

At that moment, Chu Yunfei instructed Fang Ligong: "Brother meritorious service, immediately report to the Commander's Department of the Theater and the Chairman's Attendant Office, just say that the outer city of Taiyuan has been recovered, and our only brigade of the Jinsui Army and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army are storming the inner city, and then send another secret telegram to the attendant's room, so that they can hype it up and create momentum." ”

Liang Gang suddenly said, "Brother Yunfei, why bother so much? ”

"Huh?" Chu Yunfei was surprised, "Brother Tie Feng has a better idea?" ”

Liang Gang nodded and said: "Directly send the code to power up, and recover Taiyuan within three days!" ”

"This ......" Chu Yunfei was slightly hesitant when he heard this, but there was no disobedience or any other problem when he published this kind of clear code, because everyone knew that this was just a momentum.

Neither the Command's Department nor the Chamberlain's Office of the Second World War Zone will say anything.

The only thing that has an impact is his Chu Yunfei's reputation.

Because if you can't take Taiyuan after three days, you will be laughed at.

Seeing Chu Yunfei hesitating, Liang Gang said, "Then let's electrify in the name of our Ninety-fourth Brigade." ”

"Eh, what did Brother Tie Feng say?" Chu Yunfei waved his hand violently and said abruptly, "How can I, Chu Yunfei, be a worldly martial artist who cherishes fame?" ”

After speaking, he turned his head to make meritorious service to the other party and said: "After reporting the victory to the commander's department and the attendant's room, I immediately sent a telegram in clear code, saying that our only brigade of the Jinsui Army and the 94th brigade of the Central Army will go to Taiyuan within three days!" ”

"Yes!" Fang Ligong solemnly agreed.

……

Anhua.

2nd Guards Division, Division Headquarters.

Michiichi Miyano had already received an order from the headquarters of the First Army.

However, Michiichi Miyano could no longer put together two infantry brigades, and could only barely make up one and a half brigades, plus another cavalry squadron.

This cavalry squadron was originally a unit of the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

After the main force of the 4th Cavalry Brigade was blocked at the mouth of the pig, Kojima Yoshizo sent two cavalry squadrons to outflank from both flanks, and one of the cavalry squadrons returned in time and was completely annihilated at Feiyundu with the main force of the brigade, but the other cavalry squadron escaped because it was lost.

Then this cavalry squadron was assigned to the 2nd Guards Division.

The troops were assembled, and Michichi Miyano called Shibuya Ichiro.

Shibuya Ichiro said: "Division Commander, should I go to Taiyuan?" ”

Miyano Dao hesitated a little when he heard this, because in comparison, the task of staying in Anhua seemed to be more arduous, because after transferring one and a half infantry brigades and one cavalry squadron, there were only half infantry brigades of combat infantry left in Anhua City, and then the logistics, staff and medical personnel of the division and regiment headquarters were added, totaling more than 1,000 people.

Then there is a regiment of more than 1,000 people in the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army.

After the reinforcements sent to Taiyuan left, once the three main regiments of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army came to attack, it would really be an extremely severe test to hold Anhua.

handed over Anhua to Shibuya Ichiro, and he was really a little worried.

At that moment, Miyano Daoyi said: "Okay, you will lead the troops back to Taiyuan." ”

After a pause, Miyano Michiichi said again: "But you must be careful on the road, because the Zhina Army in the northwest of Jin has three brigades of more than 15,000 people, but the Zhina Army in Taiyuan only has more than 10,000 people, which means that there are at least about 5,000 people in the Zhina Army still lurking in the northwest of Jin, or ambushing in the middle of the road." ”

Shibuya Ichiro paused, "Hai! ”
