Taiyuan Inner City, basement of the headquarters of the First Army of the North China Front.

"It's been two hours! Why haven't Lu Xiang and General Gangcun called back yet? ”

"Where the hell are the reinforcements going? These damn liars don't have a word of truth in their mouths! If the fighter plane is delayed like this, it should all be shot! ”

"Keep an eye on me, and any news will be delivered to me as soon as possible."

The chattering Yoshio Iwamatsu made everyone in the headquarters silent.

The staff officers crept to their work, for fear of angering their own commanders, and no one wanted to be forced to fight again.

It seemed that the old devil's cursing had taken effect, and the communications staff officer wearing headphones on the side suddenly picked up a pen and paper and began to record, and then opened the codebook and began to decrypt it.

After just a few seconds, he came to Yoshio Iwamatsu with a pale face.

"Your Excellency, Commander Gangcun has just sent a telegram and issued a new phase of operational instructions."

As soon as these words came out, the communication corps instantly became the focus of the basement. Everyone looked at him, hoping that some good news could come out of each other's mouths.

Under the pressure, the little devil began to tremble, and then said in a trembling tone:

"The Mongolian army and the Kwantung army will take another week to reach Jin Province. The troops directly under the North China Front Army were blocked by the Eighth Route Army in the area of Niangzi Pass and could not support for the time being. ”

"General Gangcun Ningci specially explained, firmly hold on, there is a way!"

After finishing speaking, the communications soldiers quickly bowed their heads and stood upright, ready to be beaten.

But Iwamatsu Yoshio did not get angry, but calmly took the telegram and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

"Hahaha! What a firm hold! ”

"How can the First Army hold Taiyuan, can it rely on the 10,000 soldiers under me?"

The ups and downs of life always come too quickly, obviously a second ago was still in heaven, the situation on the whole front is very good, and friendly troops are also on their way.

But in the next second, he fell straight to hell, not only was the defense line broken through by the Eighth Route Army, but even the reinforcements could not be in place in time.

Under the internal and external troubles, no matter how good a commander is, there are one head and two big.

Just as Iwamatsu Yoshio was about to arrange a street battle, Hanaya, the chief of staff of the First Army, kicked open the door of the basement.

It is worth mentioning that he actually carried a Jin Thomson on his back, and there were many blood stains on his body.

With the strong smell of gunsmoke on the opponent's clothes, it is not difficult to see that this person has just withdrawn from the frontline battlefield.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General! The Eighth Route Army has now successfully broken through the city walls on the east and south sides. Fifteen thousand enemies have already entered the city and bridgeheads have been established on the perimeter. ”

"Although the samurai resisted desperately, there was a huge disparity in firepower between the enemy and us, and they could only use fortifications to block the attack."

"The Xiaobeimen industrial area has also come under attack, and the defenders are engaged with an enemy of unknown origin. However, I have arranged for two squadrons of troops to go for reinforcements, and the situation has been stabilized for the time being. ”

A major general's chief of staff actually carried a submachine gun to the front line as a big soldier.

This irresponsible behavior made Iwamatsu Yoshio very dissatisfied. However, Nian did something serious on the other side, and the old devil didn't say anything.

The loss of the city wall was expected, after all, he had seen the first aerial bomb smash on the city wall with his own eyes.

It's just that the speed at which the Eighth Route Army entered the city was really unbelievably fast.

The garrison forces on the east and south city walls are all at the brigade level, plus a large number of imperial troops as cannon fodder, the strength is almost 3,000 people.

What's more, there are also fortress groups on the periphery, and with sufficient ammunition and supplies, it can be held for a day or two.

However, only three hours have passed since the beginning of the enemy's general offensive, and the opposing side has actually established a bridgehead. Such an unreasonable and unreasonable speed of advancement made everyone in the basement despair.

Although his partner didn't reply, Hanaya seemed to see the other party's question, so he hurriedly took the initiative to explain:

"The unit attacking to the south of the city is the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army. In addition to the infantry, the enemy sent sappers and artillery to assist in the battle. ”

"Our masonry and civil fortifications, in the face of the M1897 75mm cannon's close-range direct aiming, will not play the role originally expected."

"It was only the first round of attacks, and all the firepower points and pillboxes on the periphery were destroyed almost simultaneously, and we have now lost 30% of our positions."

With artillery support, the speed of the advance must be overwhelming.

Now the only question is, the moat outside Taiyuan City is so wide, how did the Eighth Route Army break through?

Could it be that several trucks rushed directly into the river as the main bridge? Or is it a Gundam or even an underwater specialty?

After thinking for a moment, Yoshio Iwamatsu suddenly erupted and slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"Pass my orders and get the troops ready for street fighting! We must fight until there are no full tiles in the house and no pure land on the earth! ”

"Each wing entered the battlefield according to the pre-arrangement, relied on the previously constructed firepower points to block the attack, and launched a house-by-house and street-by-street battle with the Eighth Route Army!"

"We have no way out, and we are allowed to use civilians as shields when necessary! There is not a single factory left in the city, and how many can be fried. ”

Everyone present was all middle and high-level officers, and naturally understood that their commander was ready to die on the battlefield. After years of bushido brainwashing, they rekindled their fighting spirit at a critical moment.

"Hey!"

"Long live Your Majesty the Locust, long live the Japanese brother!"

······

Taiyuan, Detective Team Headquarters.

After sending the special mission to the Taiyuan Arsenal, Captain Jia immediately led the sixth and ninth children to evacuate the battlefield with the idea of not causing chaos for Zheng Yingqi.

Combat of that intensity is far beyond their capabilities. Once there is no special person to protect it, there will definitely be no place to bury.

Leaving the factory gate, the three of them avoided several combat zones with the route they had been idling around all year round, and successfully returned to the headquarters of the detective team.

As soon as he climbed over the wall and entered the compound, Captain Jia was thrown to the ground.

"Oh, what kind of bastard who doesn't have long eyes! Lao Tzu has only been out for more than an hour, and you want to usurp the throne! ”

After seeing that it was his own captain who came back, more than a dozen dogs ran over like a wind. They grabbed the arms of the three men and ran inside, for fear of being discovered.

In order to provide the secret service group with sufficient weapons, the entire detective team of 600 people was left with dozens of pistols.

Once the East Window incident was hit by the devils, they didn't even have the ability to resist at all.

After returning to the safe barracks, Captain Jia sat down on the Taishi chair with a grin. Many younger brothers rushed to serve tea and pour water, and everyone's face was full of curiosity.

"Captain, how are you doing this time?"

"Did you play the prestige of a detective team? Did Head Zheng mention the matter of helping us intercede? ”

Jia Gui knew that his subordinates didn't really care about him. But just after killing a devil army Cao, he was in a very good mood.

So he didn't care about the little things, but stood up and said in a vivid voice:

"The master has made great efforts this time, helping Commander Zheng and the soldiers solve big troubles, and even killed a little devil."

"At that time, the military cao was three meters away, and I first gained the trust of the other party. Then he took the opportunity to cover his head and pout his buttocks, and gave the devil a chill with one shot. ”

"Don't say it, even Commander Zheng didn't expect that the first shot was actually fired by me."

Although the verbs used by the captain are very strange, people can't help but make up the picture of being beaten. But looking at the expressions of the sixth and ninth children, the other party must not exaggerate the record.

In this way, it is really possible to make meritorious contributions after the war.

But at this moment, the sound of a Type 92 heavy machine gun came from a building fifty meters away from the detective team. Relying on the defensive positions on the tall buildings, the devils fired at the infantry of the Eighth Route Army with intensive firepower.

Looking along the shooting trajectory, Captain Jia found a company of soldiers. The other party is obviously not an idle person, and even if he is raided, he can fight back and forth with the Japanese army.

Street fighting, which can be called a meat grinder on the battlefield, generally has very large casualties.

The complex terrain makes the battle unpredictable. The long-term tug-of-war is a great test of the willpower of both sides of the war.

After learning that the 129th Division was going to attack Taiyuan, the First Army arranged a large number of fortifications in the city.

As a result, the Eighth Route Army had to conduct house-to-house inspections during its advance, otherwise it might face bullets from behind.

What's more, because of the restrictions of many houses and streets, it was difficult for the soldiers to form a numerical advantage in local positions, and it was very difficult to fight for a while.

Just when Captain Jia could see it, the sixth man on the side suddenly exclaimed.

"Captain, look! That's the artillery of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"It's amazing that they actually dismantled the cannon into parts and carried it into the city."

"By the way, are those people looking for something? I've been watching for half a minute, and they've been looking around. ”

Following the guidance of the sixth child, Jia Gui saw more than twenty soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Although he has not participated in the battle, he has only pulled out the box of the king in his hand twice. But he knew the importance of the commanding heights in a war, and who let the guerrillas often go to the rooftops.

If the Eighth Route Army wanted to quickly knock out the enemy's firepower, the best way was to shoot artillery from a high place. After all, there are too many houses in Taiyuan City, which greatly affects the shooting world.

Looking at the soldiers who fell in a pool of blood, and then thinking of the rampant face of the devil, a trace of human brilliance gradually rose on Jia Gui's ugly face.

"Sixth! Get me a red sleeve and come out!! ”

"Fuck, Lao Tzu is poked in the backbone every day, scolded for being a traitor for half his life, today I have to be a Chinese!"

"There's a kind! It's a gentleman! Get ready! I'm going to take the Eighth Route Army into our detective team and take them to set up an artillery position on the platform on the third floor! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone showed an incredible expression.

In their opinion, their own captain is really crazy. Now there is a rain of bullets outside, and if you are not careful, you will die under the guns of the devils.

To be a traitor is to eat a mess, if you had the blood and courage, you would have gone to the county brigade a long time ago.

Unsurprisingly, no one in the detective team answered the call. Even the sixth and ninth children just lowered their heads and didn't speak, pretending not to hear.

In this situation, Jia Gui didn't say anything. Just silently put the red sleeve on his left arm, took the key to the gate and rushed out of the barracks without saying a word.

After opening the lock of the gate, he shouted at the artillerymen not far away: "Comrades! Come on in! I'm a member of the Eighth Route Army's Special Service Corps! My chief is Zheng Yingqi Zheng, head of the regiment! ”

After hearing the call, Wang Chengzhu did not hesitate to take his soldiers straight to the headquarters of the detective team.

Although the other party's appearance is peculiar, and the word "chief" is also used, the behavior looks suspicious. But the man had a red armband on his left arm, and he must have been a comrade of his own.

The artillerymen's hideout was not far from the detective team, only fifty meters away.

But the M1897 75mm cannon is too heavy, just one cannon is 1160 kg, not to mention the weight of the shells.

In order to be able to support the artillery in time, the fighters disassembled the entire cannon.

Among them, the gun body is carried through the flat pole, the gun wheel can be carried on its back, and the large frame can be carried in the barrel.

From the time it entered the city to the present, this artillery group has moved eight kilometers by manpower, and every soldier is exhausted.

If it weren't for the logistics department in the southeast of Shanxi Province to engage in breeding, so that troops at all levels could have pork and chicken to eat, maybe the artillery crew would have been exhausted.

In order to help Wang Chengzhu and the others, Captain Jia rushed out directly from the gate of the detective team. He took an ammunition box very self-knowingly, and said enthusiastically as he led the way:

"Come, I'll get it for you."

"I just saw you upstairs, I'll show you the way, and you can go up to the third floor through the front compound."

"Thank you, master."

I don't know if it's because there are more people, the devils on the high-rise building found Wang Chengzhu's artillery crew. Two crooked handles and bullets from several rifles struck, and two people fell to the ground in an instant.

Among them is Captain Jia, after all, he has no military training, and it is the first time he has been on the battlefield.

A shot of the Arisaka rifle shot by the 38 big cover passed through the abdomen, and the blood quickly soaked the green traitor suit.

This scene made everyone in the detective team stunned. One thing to say, Jia Gui is not bad to his subordinates, and he has already formed a special relationship after a few years of getting along.

"Captain!"

After a shout, dozens of brothers, led by the sixth and ninth brothers, rushed out of the barracks under the enemy's bullets.

Fortunately, the infantry on the frontal battlefield reacted in time and temporarily suppressed the devils with powerful firepower, otherwise these rookies would have suffered heavy casualties.

The members of the detective team worked together to carry the parts of the M1897 75mm cannon to the third floor, and then gathered around Jia Gui.

"Fuck, wasn't Lao Tzu handsome just now!"

The sixth child held each other's hands tightly and said very sadly: "Handsome! Captain, you're the most handsome! ”

"Don't call me Captain, I have a name! I am from Anzhou, Hebei Province, China, and my name is Jia Gui! ”

"Brothers, we can't go together in the future! Give it a makeover! Be a new man! Remember to send Lao Tzu's ashes home! I'm not a traitor! ”

The plot of Captain Jia was actually thought out last year.
