But there is no reason to spit out the meat that is delivered to your door!
Although the infantry brigade of more than 1,000 people is inconspicuous compared to the fat meat in Taiyuan City, they will eat meat in their mouths sooner or later. Li Yunfeng doesn't care sooner or later!
Immediately with a wave of his hand, the battalion deployed at the forefront of the tower immediately launched an attack. The MG24 general machine gun equipped by it was the natural enemy of this almost suicidal dense formation!
After just one round of strafing, more than 500 corpses appeared out of thin air under Taiyuan City!
Due to the limited capabilities of the First Army's intelligence department at that time, it could only learn that the other side was equipped with several large-caliber artillery pieces based on close monitoring of the defense forces.
In addition, the Sakata Regiment, the only one that had ever fought against Li Yunfeng, was completely annihilated, which made the Japanese military leaders unclear about the strength of the defense forces. When the opponent took out the heavy firepower of a general-purpose machine gun, the Eighth Regiment on the tower along with them The captain was shocked.
At this moment, I only heard the signal soldier coming to deliver the order: "Report to the commander, the commander's headquarters called, asking the troops to stop the expulsion and return all troops to the city immediately!"
Hearing this, the latter calmed down and was about to drink something.
I saw a cannonball approaching, and the steel projectile was even reflected in my pupils.
After a while, a loud noise spread from this section of the tower to the surroundings, and everyone nearby called Amaterasu.
After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka slumped down on his chair, facing the direction of the tower with a blank expression. It wasn't until the adjutant beside him reminded him that he steeled himself and spoke slowly:
"Immediately, order the garrisons from Fenyang, Lu'an, Jinzhong, Datong, and Xinzhou to assemble in Taiyuan; and also send a request for reinforcements to Peiping, where the front army is stationed. Hurry! Hurry! The survival of the imperial army in Taiyuan depends on these days! "
Near afternoon
At the 28th Regiment Headquarters of Caozhuang Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the Chief of Staff hurriedly walked into the main hall of the regiment headquarters with a solemn expression and faced the regiment leader Ding Wei:
"Commander, the Third Battalion reported that the 16th Regiment stationed in Fenyang is approaching our forward position, and the Ninth Company has already engaged them!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei jumped to the map and asked, "How many troops do the Japanese have?"
"They were in their early 2,000s, and they were evenly divided between Japs and puppets. However, their equipment was mediocre and they didn't have heavy firepower like artillery. They didn't even send out a decent reconnaissance force. They rushed into the garrison area of the third battalion."
As the Japanese Army claimed to be the strongest in Asia at that time, in previous battles, it usually used reconnaissance troops as the vanguard to spy on the details of enemy military aircraft, and then used large-caliber artillery as a cover to blast the opponent's frontline troops. Finally the infantry went out to harvest the heads.
Before that, the Japanese army had always used such sharp tactics to its disadvantages. No matter the 18th Group Army, the Central Army, or the Shanxi-Sui Army, they all suffered in this regard. But what happened today?
Knowing that their troops are stationed here, they still keep coming. What is the purpose?
However, the war situation was tense at that time, and Ding Wei could not care much about it. He directly ordered to the chief of staff:
"No matter what the little devil wants to do, I will never let him succeed! Order the second and third battalions to fully engage in battle, and the first battalion to serve as the general reserve!"
"Captain! Do you want to report such a big matter to the headquarters first?"
"Where did you come from and report this? Those two thousand Japs are right in front of you. Don't worry about what they are going to do. Even if he goes to pay homage to his birthday, you can't let him succeed! Besides, since we added After equipping myself with Japanese weapons, I haven’t fought against anyone yet! It’s time to practice with the 16th Regiment!”
Thanks to Li Yunfeng's generous donation, at least one-third of the equipment of Nobutsu Sakata's Fourth Regiment in the past was added to the 28th Regiment under his command by Ding Wei.
Almost overnight, it became the number one main force in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. Although there is still a gap in scale with his old comrade Li Yunlong, he boasts that the 28th Regiment is not inferior to the New Regiment with the same strength in terms of strength.
This is the confidence given by Li Yunfeng!
【etc! Fengzi! 】
Suddenly, the figure of his old friend and brother flashed in Ding Wei's mind, and he seemed to have made his own judgment.
Until dusk, the 28th Regiment had been fighting with the 16th Regiment for more than four hours. During this period, with the help of Japanese weapons and equipment presented by Li Yunfeng, the Japanese army of more than 2,000 people was not able to advance even half a step.
Even if the Japanese successively sent more than 2,000 reinforcements, they could only feel helpless in the face of the sophisticated equipment and strength of the 28th Regiment.
Not long after, taking the opportunity of the Japanese to bury the pot for cooking, the chief of staff communicated with Ding Wei.
"Captain, what's weird! Are these guys in a hurry to celebrate their birthdays? They launched seven attacks on my forward position in four hours, on average, once every half an hour! Fortunately, we received a gift from the National Defense Forces before. equipment, otherwise our three battalions may be dead early in the morning!"
"This is not important! Have our comrades in Fenyang City sent any information?"
"No! But our regiment's spies stationed at Wuliqiao sent news that the top Japanese troops stationed in Fenyang seemed to have received some kind of order. To this end, they did not hesitate to mobilize all the armed forces within their jurisdiction to attack our station. But it seems that this order It has nothing to do with us! Our defense zone is just a place they must pass through."
After saying that, Ding Wei stood up and said, "Yes, the enemy's target is not us at all! It's Taiyuan!"
"Taiyuan?"
The chief of staff was stunned. The 28th Regiment is located at the junction of northwest Shanxi and central Shanxi. Although it is not the only way from Fenyang to Taiyuan, it is the fastest way between the two places! If the enemy's target is not him, it seems that the only possibility is Taiyuan!
But the chief of staff still shook his head: "It's unlikely! Looking at the whole of Shanxi, who has the strength to move Taiyuan? It's impossible for the Jinsui Army. They are huddled in the southeast region and are precarious;
It is impossible for the Central Army. The North China Front Army's attention is now on Taierzhuang and there is no extra force to besiege Taiyuan;
As for our Eighteenth Group Army, although it has indeed expanded rapidly during this period, it is still far from the point where we can attack Taiyuan! "
Thinking of this, the chief of staff smiled: "It can't be the Chinese Defense Force of Commander Li's younger brother, right? They only have two companies!"
"In such a long time, his troops may have more than two companies!"
"Even if there are more than two companies, this is Taiyuan! Even if Commander-in-Chief Li has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he can't just lead a few people to attack Taiyuan!"
"Hehe! Don't say that! There is nothing in this world that Li Yunfeng doesn't dare to do! If Fengzi had a division, he would dare to attack Peiping, believe it or not!"
Ding Wei shook his head, and at the same time he became more determined in his mind. The goal of this group of devils is Taiyuan! As for the troops attacking the provincial capital city, except for Li Yunfeng's Chinese Defense Force, the rest of the troops simply did not have the strength and courage!
[It’s just too crazy! Fengzi, don't play with fire and burn yourself. If you don't get the meat, you'll end up in a mess! 】
