Not only the armored infantry regiment, as Qin Fen called out one by one, all the PLA troops stationed near Yangqu County moved.

Armored infantry regiment, targeting the line of Jinyang Lake and Caizhuang.

The second regiment of the infantry aimed at Mengcun, a suburb of Taiyuan that was guarding the northbound traffic artery of Taiyuan.

Step 4th Regiment, the target is Shihekou in the western suburbs of Taiyuan.

The first column, fighting together with the armored infantry regiment.

Pang Yuan did not know the severity of the situation, and at his suggestion, Buyi Regiment rushed from Qizhou to Nitun to deal with the Battle of Taiyuan. The 5th Infantry Regiment, which had not yet fully formed its combat effectiveness, set out from Qizhou and rushed to Pingyuan and Zhangzhuang to replace the 2nd Battalion and the 2nd Column of the original 358th Regiment stationed in Pingyuan and Zhangzhuang, and the 2nd Battalion and 2nd Column were also sent to the Taiyuan front line to support.

The 6th Infantry Regiment was transferred from Qizhou to Yangqu as a reserve and entered a state of emergency combat readiness, and provided support at any time in case of changes in Taiyuan.

The third column still stayed in Qizhou, which could be regarded as leaving a way for the PLA to retreat.

Fighting, this time the People's Liberation Army has taken out all the family resources.

A total of more than 27,000 people from one armored regiment, six infantry regiments, and three columns have all been mobilized, and they are putting on a posture of fighting to the end with the devils of Taiyuan.

And at this moment, the battle in Taiyuan has begun.

It is impossible for all battles to be cunning battles, even if thankful heaven is a reborn, otherwise it will become a myth.

Yu Qiushui, deputy commander of the Third Regiment, personally led the Seventh Battalion, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, to launch an attack on Liuxiang, and was stubbornly blocked by devils at the Temple of Heaven and Earth.

With the sound of gunshots, the entire Taiyuan city fell into a riot, and the people closed their doors and hid in the cracks of the door to look out, but they showed undisguised excitement in their apprehension.

Someone cried tears of joy and pulled out the carefully collected national flag from the bottom of the box.

They're coming, they're finally coming back!!

Xie Tian stood on the top floor of the Ocean Building with a straight face, holding a telescope to look at the direction of Liuxiang, which had already ignited a fire, and Chu Yunfei also held a telescope to look around.

It's all hit, it's useless to say anything now, let's fight.

A steady stream of information poured into the Ocean Tower, and the radio station beside Xie Tian had never been interrupted, Gao Erxiao and his reconnaissance company had become the busiest people in Taiyuan City, counting the new soldiers brought by Duan Hong were all over the city, running back and forth to transmit information.

The battle lasted for more than half an hour and was still in a hot stalemate, but Chu Yunfei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Xie Tian and said: "Shizuo, after fighting for so long, only one squadron of the Ishikawa Brigade went to Liuxiang to support, and the other troops did not move at all, I am afraid that Taiyuan is really an empty city." ”

Xie Tian stretched out his hand and grabbed the radio transmitter: "Yu Qiushui, lead the troops to retreat." Li Quan arranged for the troops to cover the retreat of the 7th Battalion. ”

"Division commander, we don't suffer many casualties, we can still fight, I am willing to make a military order, our seventh battalion will definitely be able to knock down Liuxiang."

"What nonsense, Lao Tzu will withdraw if you want to withdraw." Xie Tian scolded, although Yu Qiushui was the first batch of soldiers of the mobile platoon, which was brought out by Xie Tian himself, and now he has also become the deputy commander of the third regiment, but Xie Tian was disgusted that he was not resolute in carrying out orders, otherwise Xie Tian would have let him take charge of it alone.

It's good for your people to have ideas, but it's not necessarily good to have too many ideas, especially in the army.

Resolutely carrying out orders is the most basic principle of a grassroots commander, because what you see is only a local battlefield.

If Xie Tian didn't want to be in charge of the overall situation, he really wanted to personally go to the third regiment to command the attack on Liuxiang, but presumably Chu Yunfei would not agree to him to take the risk, so he had to command it remotely, but fortunately, there was a radio station that could quickly convey orders.

However, there are some tactical deployments that cannot be directly said on the radio, and their radio stations are all captured from the Japanese devils, and the Japanese devils can naturally hear their deployment on the radio.

Yu Qiushui was also honest after being scolded, and immediately gave the order to the team to cover the retreat alternately.

The devil chased two streets, and was ambushed by the eight battalions led by Li Quan, who threw down twenty or thirty corpses and retreated to Liuxiang.

Li Quan retreated the 7th Battalion to rest and recuperate, pushed the 8th Battalion to the front line of the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the 9th Battalion outflanked Liuxiang along Liudong Road, and the regimental mobile company outflanked Xiaohaizi on the left flank.

The hand-to-hand street fighting was extremely hard, but the devils obviously showed a lack of troops, and only counterattacked according to a few strong fortifications at the intersection of Liuxiang.

The battle continued, but Xie Tian was already relieved, he threw down the binoculars and turned to lie on the map to inquire about the dynamics of the devil's strongholds.

Sure enough, it was a dozen hits that knocked out the devil's bottom line.

Taiyuan is already an empty city, and the devil troops left in Taiyuan are probably less than one wing, and the combat effectiveness is not good, and the chasing seventh battalion only chased two streets and immediately retreated to Liuxiang when it encountered an ambush.

Chu Yunfei looked at Xie Tian and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Shizuo, you have beaten out all the details of the devils, I suggest that you pull out the small strongholds of the devils first, and then concentrate your forces to fight the Yan Mansion in Liuxiang." ”

Yan Mansion, Yan Xishan's home in Taiyuan, after the devil occupied Taiyuan, it seemed that in order to humiliate Yan Xishan, he had been setting up a military organ in Yan Mansion, and Gangcun Ningci came to Taiyuan and took Yan Mansion as his foothold.

Xie Tian snorted slightly, frowned slightly, searched the map inch by inch with the pencil in his hand, and asked, "Brother Yunfei, which direction do you say Gangcun Ningci will run to?" ”

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly, and secretly sighed in his heart.

He was still thinking about how to fight in Taiyuan, and Xie Baoqing's mind had already jumped out of Taiyuan to pursue Gangcun Ningci.

Chu Yunfei brought over a lantern to illuminate the map more brightly, and said in contemplation: "Now all kinds of intelligence show that the devil's army in Taiyuan is going to the southeast, and the southeast direction is Yanmen Pass, and Gangcun Ningci is the most convenient and direct route to open Yanmen Pass through Yangquan. Moreover, there is only the new second regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Yanmen Pass, and the strength of their so-called county brigade and district squad is only about 4,000 people. Fortunately, during this time, we recovered Qizhou and Yangqu one after another, disrupting the rhythm of the devils and buying them some more time. But with their current strength, I am afraid that they will be defeated if they can't withstand a wave of attacks from Gangcun Ningci, after all, Gangcun Ningci has mobilized almost all the troops in Taiyuan, and there is an artillery wing to help, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. ”

Xie Tian straightened up and looked at Chu Yunfei: "Xu Shiyou should still be in Yanmen Pass now, it has been seventeen days since he took Yanmen Pass." He must have considered that he would be counterattacked by devils when he took Yanmen Pass, and he must have made full deployment in the past half a month, and I also left him ten 60 mortars and fifty boxes of artillery shells, and it may not be so easy for Gangcun Ningci to break through Yanmen Pass. ”
