"Captain..."
The correspondent rushed towards Li Yunlong like crazy and started reporting from a distance.
"A group of little devils came towards us from the inner city of Taiyuan. There were more than a thousand people, well-equipped and powerful in combat..."
"We bumped into them when we were chasing the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Just one contact defeated our pursuing troops..."
"Snapped……"
Li Yunlong slapped his thigh fiercely, and said with a look of realization: "It's not good..."
"That old devil Yoshio Iwamatsu wants to break out and escape..."
"How come I, Li Yunlong, am so lucky..."
"Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't go in other directions, but chose to break out here. Isn't this giving me his head?"
"The reserve team and the guard company all rush forward for me and stop the little Japanese breakout troops at all costs."
"The other pursuing troops immediately turned around and surrounded the Japanese and puppet breakout troops..."
"The Japanese army put the fat on our lips, there is no reason not to eat it."
"I want to annihilate them all in the east of the city."
"Lieutenant General Commander..."
"My dear..."
"I have been fighting little devils for so many years, but I have never killed such a high-level little devil..."
…………
"Boom boom boom..."
The firefight on the battlefield continued. Li Yunlong looked over there as he spoke, hoping that the pursuing troops could withstand the Japanese counterattack, hold them back, and buy time for other troops to encircle the battlefield.
"not good……"
As he watched, another exclamation suddenly sounded in Li Yunlong's ears.
"Captain..."
"The little devils have begun to counterattack..."
"The pursuing troops suffered heavy casualties in the sudden artillery attack...it seems they can no longer withstand it..."
"You have to resist even if you can't bear it..." Li Yunlong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Then he asked the correspondent on standby: "What do the guard company and reserve team do for food? Why haven't they gone up yet..."
"Let them go faster. If they don't join the battle, it will be too late..."
"Captain..."
The correspondent who had just gone to give the order hurried back to Li Yunlong and reported while breathing heavily.
"The reserve team was held back by a group of little devils..."
"The Japanese and puppet troops were like crazy, launching attacks on the reserve forces continuously, preventing them from reinforcing the battlefield."
"Captain..."
Another correspondent hurriedly ran towards Li Yunlong: "As soon as the guard company started on its way, it was blocked by more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops."
"They are making an all-out assault, but they certainly cannot break through the Japanese defensive positions in a short time..."
"Damn..." Li Yunlong couldn't help but started to curse again.
"What do the pursuit troops do for food..."
"Weren't all the Japanese and puppet troops in the east of the city defeated by them? Why are there still Japanese and puppet troops behind them..."
"Without the guard company and reserve team, the pursuit force would definitely not be able to stop Yoshio Iwamatsu's crazy counterattack."
"Hurry up and contact other pursuit troops..."
"Immediately turn around and encircle the Japanese breakout troops. We must not let them escape from under our noses!"
The staff officer on the side suddenly sighed and said: "Captain..."
"That's too late……"
"The Japanese army has broken through the temporary defense line established by the pursuing troops and is marching towards the gap in the city wall..."
"As soon as the other pursuing troops turned around, they were held back by the remnants of the Japanese and puppet troops and were unable to encircle Yoshio Iwamatsu."
"Artillery..." Li Yunlong patted his head again, his face full of excitement.
"How could I forget them!"
"The artillery did not pursue the defeated Japanese and puppet troops."
"Although we cannot form a line of defense to block the Japs' breakout troops..."
"But you can chase their breakout troops and blow them up...consuming a lot of their troops..."
"Even if we can't eat this Japanese and puppet army, I still want to cut off a piece of fat from them."
"The artillery will immediately aim at the gap in the city wall..."
"The little devil rushes over and shoots me..."
"Shoot all the remaining shells, I can't do anything..."
…………
"Rumble..."
The explosion of artillery shells soon sounded in the gap in the city wall, and dozens of firelights rose into the sky, illuminating the place in an instant.
The dozens of Japs who were the first to reach the gap were blown away without even raising a single wave.
"Your Excellency, Commander..." A Major rushed to Yoshio Iwamatsu to report.
"The Eighth Route Army is too cunning..."
"There was no infantry to stop us... They actually used artillery fire to block the gap in the city wall, allowing our troops to break out of the city under the artillery fire..."
"They gathered at least forty artillery pieces and a large number of thunder cannons to join the battle."
"If we charge forcefully, the more than a thousand of us can only charge out three to four hundred people. The casualties will be too high!"
Iwamatsu Yoshio ordered with a stern face: "Blow up the city wall..."
"By the way, blow up the city gate..."
"We broke out from several places together..."
"No matter how fierce their artillery fire is, they can't seal all the gaps..."
The Major had an idea and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, is wise. Please arrange your humble position now..."
…………
"Rumble..."
A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded at the foot of the city wall more than a hundred meters away from the gap.
Fires were shooting into the sky, thick smoke was billowing, and dust was flying.
A huge gap was blown out of the nearly ten-meter-high city wall in an instant.
Before Li Yunlong could react, there was an explosion from the direction of the city gate, and black smoke spewed out from the city gate hole...
"not good……"
Li Yunlong's expression changed again and he cried out.
"Yoshio Iwamatsu wants to break out more..."
"The artillerymen dispersed immediately and used artillery fire to block the gaps in the city wall and city gates that the Japs had just blown up. We must not let their conspiracy succeed."
"That old devil Yoshio Iwamatsu deserves to be the commander of the Shanxi garrison... He reacted too quickly, and I almost fell into his trap."
"Captain..."
The combat staff officer next to him flashed a disappointed expression: "There are little devils who rushed out through the gap in the city wall that they newly blasted..."
"There are also little devils rushing out of the city gate..."
Li Yunlong was so anxious that he wished he could go to the battlefield himself. He stared at his big eyes and shouted: "Speed up the artillery..."
"If we don't fire, we won't even be able to drink soup..."
…………
"Baga...what are you still hesitating about...rush out of Taiyuan as quickly as possible..." At the gap in the city wall newly blasted by the Japanese army, the Japanese officer was like an angry lion. As long as the Japanese ran a little slower, he would be beaten. Swearing loudly.
"Get out of the way... Your Excellency, the protection commander, rush out..." Seeing Yoshio Iwamatsu running over, he immediately ordered the soldiers blocking the way in front...
As soon as Yoshio Iwamatsu left, he no longer maintained order here, tightened his armed belt and rushed out of Taiyuan.
The Eighth Route Army artillery must also want to use artillery fire to block this gap. The longer they stay here, the greater the chance of being blocked in the city.
If you are unlucky and a cannonball hits you right next to you, even the King of Heaven will not be able to save you.
The sooner you rush out of Taiyuan City, the safer it will be.
As for the other troops who have not yet broken out of Taiyuan, they can only live with their destiny and see their luck. Anyway, they don't want to die.
