Taiyuan.

Japanese Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka is meeting with Naganomura Momoyo, commander of the 2nd Guards Division.

Kunomura Momoyo succeeded Muto Akira as the commander of the 2nd Division of the First Army.

In fact, Kunomura Momoyo did not think of the First Army to serve as the commander of the 2nd Guards Division.

Because he heard that the First Army seemed to be a bit of a wasted general, and several major generals were killed in battle.

Even on the first day of Lieutenant General Muto Zhang's arrival in Shanxi, he was shelled by the Eighth Road, and after rescue efforts failed, the jade was shattered.

Who likes to come to such a dangerous place?

It's just that the military order is difficult to disobey, and Kunomura Momoyo can only take office hard.

Although the Zhengtai Railway has been reopened to traffic, the officers of Kunomura Momoyo and the division headquarters did not dare to take the military train, but took a direct plane to Taiyuan New Town Airport after arriving in Beiping.

The reorganized Engineer Wing and Artillery Wing of the Guards Division have already arrived in Yangquan, and logistics units such as the reorganized 3rd Wing and the Engineer Wing are still on their way.

"Kuno-kun, this is the new Biluochun produced in China this year, please."

Yoshio Shinozuka shook his hands, knelt opposite Kunomura Momoyo, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Good tea!" ”

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "If Kuno-kun likes it, when you go back to Yangquan to take office, I will ask the guards to bring you a few catties." ”

Kunomura Momoyo did not refuse, and said, "Then thank you, Your Excellency Commander." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander." Kunomura Momoyo said, "Although it is my first time to come to Shanxi, from the plane, there are plains and mountains in Shanxi, and my 2nd Guards Division does not have cavalry units, and as far as I know, the Eighth Route has always been good at guerrilla warfare, and if I can have a cavalry wing, it may be much better." ”

The permanent divisions of the Japanese army generally have 2 brigades (2 infantry wings per brigade and regiment), 1 company each of engineers, cavalry, artillery, and baggage, a total of 8 wings, plus 28,200 non-combatants at the headquarters of the first division and two brigades.

The cavalry wings of the three divisions and regiments were reduced to cavalry brigades, and some divisions and regiments even did not have cavalry brigades.

Although the 2nd Guards Division was reorganized from the 1st Guards Division and has been in Japan proper, it does not have cavalry units.

"Kuno-kun, it's not that I don't give you cavalry, it's that I don't have many cavalry in my hands anymore."

Yoshio Shinozuka said: "Originally, there was a Black Island Cavalry Wing, and when it was fighting with the Eighth Road in Qi County, all the jade was broken. ”

"A while ago, the 13th Wing of the First Brigade of the Cavalry of the Imperial Army in Mongolia was defeated by the Eighth Route Cavalry in the area of Niangzi Pass and suffered heavy losses."

"And that kind of thing?"

Kunomura Momoyo's eyes narrowed, the Eighth Route Army actually had such a strong cavalry unit?

"Rest assured, the Guards Division has strong machine gun and artillery firepower, and the Eighth Route Cavalry is not to be feared."

"With the Type 96 light machine gun and the Type 92 heavy machine gun on the front, the Eighth Route Cavalry will not be able to give full play to its advantages."

Seeing Momoyo Kunomura's expression, Yoshio Shinozuka comforted him.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kunomura Momoyo paused, "Then I'll go to Yangquan tomorrow to take office." ”

"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "Then the 2nd Guards Division will be handed over to Kuno-kun, from Taiyuan to Yangquan, there is a mobile brigade stationed every 10 kilometers, which is absolutely safe, and Kuno-kun can arrive in Yangquan safely." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander, then I can go with confidence!" Kunomura Momoyo thought that Yoshio Shinozuka had specially arranged it for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

"Kuno-kun is polite." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "At the moment, whether it is Taiyuan or Yangquan, it is still very safe, as for the road and railway between it... I will arrange for an airfield to be built in Yangquan, so that when Kuno-kun and the officers of the Guards Division go to Taiyuan, they will not have to take a train or a car. ”

"Thank you, Commander!" Kunomura Momoeyo stood up and paused.

Although Yoshio Shinozuka's move was to win him over and let him die on the battlefield in the future, Hisano was really a little grateful now.

The division commander has a lot of power, and it often happens that the Japanese Army lieutenant general and division commander below the division commander commits crimes, and Yoshio Shinozuka is also afraid that he will not be able to suppress this lieutenant general from Tokyo.

After all, in the future, it will be up to Kunomura Momoyo to lead the 2nd Guards Division to deal with the Eighth Road.

"Boom!" At this moment, a loud explosion was heard in the south of the city.

"Nani?" Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the south of the city, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he could naturally hear the explosion of a bomb just now.

Upon closer inspection, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, mixed with explosions.

Yoshio Shinozuka's face gradually darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Just now in front of Kunomura Momoyo boasted that Haikou is absolutely safe in Taiyuan City, and there was an attack in Taiyuan City in the next minute, isn't this a second slap in the face?

Yoshio Shinozuka walked briskly to the telephone, picked it up and quickly shook the handle.

Then he put the phone to his ear: "Moses Moses, let Kasai-kun come to see me immediately." ”

A few minutes later, Toshimatsu Kasai, a communications staff officer, walked briskly into Yoshio Shinozuka's office and said to Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander! ”

At this time, the gunfire in the south of the city became more and more intensive, accompanied by the explosion of grenades.

Yoshio Shinozuka asked with a calm face, "Kasai-kun, what's going on with the gunshots and explosions in the south of the city?" ”

"It's not clear yet, the telephone lines in the south of the city seem to have been cut, and the southern city wall and the military station in the south of the city cannot be contacted."

Kasai Toshimatsu said, "However, the Ministry of Communications has sent a communications corps to investigate, and the gendarmerie and the Imperial Association are rushing over. ”

"No matter who is wreaking havoc in Taiyuan City, they don't want to leave alive."

Hearing that the gendarmerie and the Imperial Allied Army were rushing, Yoshio Shinozuka's face relaxed slightly: "Kasai-kun, give the order to the gendarmerie and kill all the attackers!" ”

"Hey!" Toshitoshi Kasai paused, then walked briskly outside.

"Wait!" Yoshio Shinozuka stopped him again.

Kasai Toshimatsu hurriedly turned around, and Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "Leave a living mouth, I want to see which forces behind the scenes dare to attack in Taiyuan City." ”

In his opinion, Taiyuan City was full of Japanese troops and imperial troops, and the enemy dared to attack Taiyuan City, which was undoubtedly a suicide attack.

After Kasai Toshimatsu left, Yoshio Shinozuka turned around and said, "Kuno-kun, are you interested in following me to the inner city wall to watch a good show." ”

"Listen to the arrangement of His Excellency the Commander." Kunomura Momoshiro Road.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Momoyo Kunomura walked out of the office and arrived at the door, just in time to meet Kusuyama Hideyoshi, who was in a hurry.

"Get out of the way!" At the moment, Yoshio Shinozuka, Hideyoshi Kusunayama and Momoyo Kunomura, surrounded by a group of staff officers, headed towards the inner city wall.

……

At the "Imperial Army Rest House", the battle is already in a state of white-hot heat.

Duan Peng led the 1st team to occupy the commanding heights on the 2nd floor, and Li Changshun led the 2nd team downstairs, and the upstairs and downstairs opened fire on the devils and puppet troops outside.

The battle has lasted for 15 minutes, and the members of the Sword Squadron have relied on their accurate marksmanship, and the corpses of dozens of devils and puppet soldiers have been lying on the street in front of the "Imperial Army Rest House".

After another wave of more than a dozen devil puppet soldiers were killed, the devil puppet army was frightened by this accurate marksmanship, and they didn't dare to attack rashly.

More than 100 devils and puppet armies surrounded the rest house.

And the Sword Squadron is also short of ammunition, and if it lasts for another 5 minutes at most, it will run out of ammunition.

Although some pistols, rifles and ammunition were seized after killing the devil, the devil did not bring much ammunition with him when he went out, which could not solve the problem.

The devils did not attack, and the 1st and 2nd teams did not take advantage of this to break through.

At this time, the reinforcements of the devil puppet army arrived, increasing to more than 200, and the streets were densely packed with devil puppet army.

Duan Peng and Li Changshun both knew very well that as time went by, the devil puppet army would definitely gather more and more, but there was no trace of Wei Dayong and them.

"Duan Peng, what now?" Li Changshun came down the stairs to Duan Peng on the second floor with a gun, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we take the initiative to rush out and find the deputy captain?" ”

"No way!"

Duan Peng's expression was cold, and he shook his head decisively: "It's okay to rush out at first, but now there is only a dead end when you go out." ”

Even if you rush out at the beginning, you will be blocked in an alley by the devil puppet army who rushed in, waiting for Wei Dayong and them to drive a tank to save them.

It's better to fight the devil in the devil's rest house, which is easier to defend than the alley outside.

After all, the two teams are in the alley, and the devil puppet army can throw a few grenades or grenades to kill them in one pot.

But here, you can be condescending, as long as the devil puppet army dares to come forward, you can shoot it in the head at any time.

Several devil puppet soldiers were shot in the head when they threw grenades, and the grenades fell at the feet of the devil puppet army, and the nearby devil puppet army was blown up at once.

"The vice-captain, they haven't arrived yet, maybe they're in trouble."

Li Changshun took a deep breath and said, "We can't sit still, two brothers in our 2 teams are injured, and if we continue like this, our 2 combat teams will have to finish." ”

"Our first team also wounded two brothers." Duan Peng said, "This group of devils and puppet soldiers are not afraid, but what they are most afraid of now is the devil's artillery." ”

Li Changshun glanced out of the window and happened to see a few devils pushing a Type 92 infantry gun, which was shooting at Zhu Yuan on the street 50 meters away.

", you crow's mouth." Li Changshun exclaimed, "Type 92 infantry artillery!" ”

"Where?" Duan Peng's face changed dramatically when he heard this.

The power of the 92 infantry cannon can even penetrate the turret, let alone the house, and this brick building is no different from the paper lake in front of the 92 infantry gun.

When Duan Peng was questioning, Li Changshun had already shot.

"Smack!" "Smack!" After two shots fired at short intervals, the two devils behind the Type 92 infantry cannon were shot in the head and then fell.

Although the Type 92 infantry gun had a protective shield, from the second floor, the pistol could shoot at the bent devil artillery.

After Li Changshun killed the two devil artillerymen, he hurriedly changed his position, and the next moment the gunfire was loud, and dense bullets shot at the place where he had just shot.

Fortunately, this is a brick building, if it was a wooden building, they would have been beaten into a sieve by the devil puppet army downstairs.

Li Changshun and Duan Peng looked down through the window again, and the devil artillery didn't know where to get a steel plate and put it in front of the Type 92 infantry gun.

Duan Peng raised his hand and snapped two shots on the steel plate, sparks splashed everywhere, but he failed to penetrate the steel plate.

"!" Seeing this scene, Duan Peng's cheeks twitched and shouted, "The devil is going to open fire, retreat!" ”

Duan Peng took two steps to the staircase, and then jumped down, behind him Li Changshun and several team members jumped from the second floor to the first floor.

The last member of the team had just jumped down for less than 3 seconds, only to hear a violent explosion overhead, like a heavy hammer beating a big drum in their ears, and everyone's brains were buzzing.

A choking smoke poured down from the staircase, and the second floor was blown up by the devil's Type 92 infantry gun.

If Duan Peng hadn't ordered to retreat in time, if they were still on the 2nd floor, they would all have been killed by the devil's cannon at this time.

However, Duan Peng knew very well that the devil definitely had more than one shell.

"get inside, move fast!"

With Duan Peng's loud shout, everyone hurriedly retreated inside, with 6 brothers guarding behind, and the devil puppet army attacked once from the back door before, but was repulsed.

The devils and puppet soldiers on the street were overjoyed when they saw that the 92 infantry cannon blew up the second floor that had been unable to be attacked for a long time, and the enemy had no movement.

A devil Shaozuo smiled with satisfaction, good fight, a few more shots will be almost enough.

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and this time it was not the brick building in front of it that was blown into the sky, but the 92 infantry cannon that had just been fired.

"Nani?" Devil Shaozuo turned his head sharply to look, only to see two tanks on the corner of the street, these two tanks drove side by side, and the muzzle of one of the tanks was smoking.

The heavy machine gun on the other tank spewed out a long tongue of fire, and the bullets were like long whips drawn towards the devil puppet soldiers squatting on both sides of the street.

The devils and puppet soldiers with their backs to the tanks were shot by machine guns at once, and they fell in pools of blood one after another.

Although there is only one heavy machine gun due to lack of manpower, the devil puppet army has no way to take the tank, so it can only passively eat bullets.

The heavy machine gun was both tricky and ferocious in the hands of Monk Wei, and for every short or long shot, one or three devil puppet soldiers were bound to be hit.

The street was very wide, and the two tanks marched in unison without looking crowded, and while Monk Wei was firing heavy machine guns, another Type 95 tank fired continuously.

"Boom!" The four or five devil puppet soldiers who were hiding behind a bunker were blown up and flew up.

The two tanks drove very slowly, and the devil puppet soldiers were so frightened that they ran out of cover and fired at the two tanks as they retreated.

But it is useless, although the armor thickness of the devil tank is only about 10 mm, but the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the devil puppet army cannot penetrate at all.

At this moment, on this little-known street of Taiyuan, a 7.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 37 mm tank gun showed amazing lethality.

It was almost a one-sided massacre, and the unsuspecting devil puppet army was beaten badly.

The devil puppet army finally couldn't stand it, lost the courage to resist, turned around and ran wildly, leaving a large number of corpses and disappearing on the street corner.

The convoy stopped in front of the gate of the "Imperial Army Rest House", and everyone got out of the tank and looked at the devil's rest house on the second floor, which had been blown down.

Wang Gensheng pressed the horn a few times, and Li Changshun and Duan Peng's heads cautiously poked out.

The corners of Monk Wei's mouth grinned: "Duan Peng, Changshun, I heard that you are going to take a ride?" ”
