Chapter 584 The Battle Begins

Chapter 584 The Battle Begins

"Report!!!"

Taiyuan, the Second War Zone Headquarters. When the messenger excitedly rushed into the courtyard, he almost jogged all the way to the doors of several officers, his eyes filled with joy!

"It's done!"

"General Xu's plan worked!"

"The mixed brigade closest to Xinkou finally couldn't hold back after being entangled with General Yang Aiyuan. The entire army evacuated from the edge of the hilly mountains and headed all the way to Xinkou!"

Snapped!
The boss, who had been sitting firmly in his seat, stood up instantly and began to search for the location of Xinkou by pressing his hand on the map. When he saw that the Xinkou defense line was guarded by the 218th Brigade of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the 772nd and 769th Regiments of the th Group Army, he clenched his fists and waved them slightly.

After so many days of hard fighting, there was finally light at the end of the tunnel. As long as this mixed brigade rushed to Xinkou, it would mean that the four mixed brigades of the Japanese were about to fall apart from being a united front. They began to panic, and the reason for the panic was that Xinkou was lost again!

Xu Chaoyang, Xu Chaoyang, everything you designed will be completed soon.

"Go on." Old Xizi Yan finally smiled. He knew that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would soon send good news!

The scout continued, "He Zhuguo's 2st Cavalry Corps is still following, occasionally catching up with the retreating Japanese troops to launch a surprise attack, and the 115nd Mixed Brigade, which is closest to them, has been completely entangled by the 15th Division and has no time to split up; the th Mixed Brigade is attacking Shiling Pass and can't go back; all the remaining Japanese troops are outside Xin County, and General Fu Zuoyi... has suffered heavy losses."

Wei Lihuang looked over and saw the boss lowering his head, but Yan Laoxizi slowly stood up from his seat, as if waiting for the other party's closing remarks.

"Over the next few days, the enemy's artillery fire was almost all concentrated on Xin County, with the goal of blowing down the city wall of Xin County. General Fu Zuoyi demolished all the houses that could be demolished, used multiple beams as support, and held up the city wall from inside the city. In the process of repairing the city wall and defending against the enemy, the 35th Army was repeatedly strafed by the enemy's machine guns, but even so, General Fu Zuoyi still managed to stabilize the situation."

"And the city wall of Xin County has already had many cracks. If General Fu Zuoyi hadn't brought people and cement to repair it at night, the wall would probably have collapsed by now."

Old Xizi Yan turned her head and looked at Wei Lihuang: "I don't believe in fate, and I won't say that it is destined to be this way!"

bump!
He grabbed Wei Lihuang's wrist and looked at him with his sword-like eyebrows upside down: "Right now, my Jinsui Army and the 18th Army have already deployed all their forces. Only your Hao Mengling has not moved. It's time for the government to show its attitude."

Wei Lihuang shook off Yan Laoxizi's hand and asked sternly, "Who do you think I am, Wei?"

"At this moment when everyone is united, how could I back down?"

He walked over to the phone, cranked the handle, then picked up the phone and said, "Telephone exchange? Hao Mengling!"

"Hello? I'm Wei Lihuang!"

"How is your unit doing at Shiling Pass?"

"Then I don't care!"

"Listen, the Japanese are trying to retake Xinkou, and the Second War Zone has formulated a plan to annihilate Xinkou. Once you get the news that the enemy in Xinkou has been completely annihilated, your troops must quickly fight their way out of Shiling Pass and engage the enemy. Never allow Xin County to face any more pressure!"

Snapped.

Wei Lihuang hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

At this time, the boss also stood up and shouted to the outside of the door: "Someone come!"

A soldier from the guard battalion left by Xu Chaoyang rushed over and said, "Pass my order. Immediately order the 115th and 120th Divisions to launch an all-out offensive against the enemy. After destroying them as soon as possible, support Xin County!"

After the two orders were issued, the boss and Wei Lihuang looked at Yan Laoxizi at the same time. This look seemed to tell him to "be patient", but Yan Laoxizi felt like he was sitting on fire, and only he himself understood. But, this is Shanxi, if you don't work hard, who can help you? You can only bear all this by yourself! ...

"Brothers, hide!"

"Hide well!!!"

Fu Zuoyi was injured, with a white gauze wrapped around his head and his military cap lost. He was squatting at the foot of the wall holding the Browning pistol in his hand and shouting, "Xinkou has been captured by our people. I just received a call. The Japanese artillery shells can't hold out for much longer. Just bear with it!!!"

How could he answer the phone?
From the moment the Japanese surrounded the city, Fu Zuoyi's telephone line had been cut off. Not only the telephone line, but now it was impossible to transport supplies from Taiyuan to Xin County. The entire Xinzhou was full of Japanese soldiers.

Then why did Fu Zuoyi say that?

Because according to the original plan, Xinkou should have fallen into their hands at this moment. If Xinkou was captured, the supply lines and retreat routes of the four mixed brigades would be completely cut off. How could the Japanese artillery shells continue to bombard Xin County at such a frequency?
But it is not enough for you, the commander, to know all this. Your subordinates must also know it. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be broken. This is about defending a city.

Inside the Xin County city wall, several old beams of varying lengths are supporting the city wall at an angle, but even so, the huge cracks on the wall are still clearly visible...

boom! boom! boom!
boom! ! ! !

At the same time, several shells landed on the wall almost at the same time. The cracks shook frequently under the continuous explosion of the shells, and dust and soil particles fell from the cracks. When the 240mm caliber cannon bombarded the wall again, the wall, which could no longer unload the force through the connection, collapsed at this moment...

As Fu Zuoyi's feet kept shaking, he turned his head and looked over. In front of him, countless dust rose up and several beams fell to the ground!

"gather!!!"

"35th Army, rd Brigade, gather at the broken wall and hold the gap. The Japanese are coming up soon!!!"

"Artillery, listen to my orders!!!"

Fu Zuoyi squatted on the city wall and turned his head to look along the parapet: "Four hundred and fifty meters ahead!"

"fire!!!"

After the city wall collapsed, tanks and armored vehicles led the Japanese troops to rush up. At that moment, Fu Zuoyi's eyes were full of people, and behind the armored troops were dense shadows!
"Machine gunners! Give up attacking the armored vehicles and tanks, and pour ammunition on the infantry behind the mechanized troops!!!"

Da da da da da!
Chug tug tug tug! ! !
The real battle began. The soldiers of the 35th Army lay on the city wall and pulled the trigger desperately, while the soldiers of the rd Brigade rushed towards the gap in the city wall with submachine guns in hand. One of the young men was holding a detonator. This thing was used to die together with the enemy's mechanized forces at this moment. Everyone understood it.

Da da da da da!
The Japanese machine gunner in the tank looked back at the soldiers who were being mowed down, and immediately shouted in Japanese: "Suppress the firepower on the city wall!"

"Reduce infantry casualties!!!"

Da da da da da!
He sat on the small tank, picked up the machine gun and started firing at the top of the city. At the same time, the muzzle began to shrink - boom!

A cannon exploded on the battlement of the city wall...

"what!!!!"

A soldier from the 35th Army was blown off the top of the city wall by the blast, and the sound of his body falling was echoing...

But Fu Zuoyi didn't even have time to watch, he could only try his best to direct the defense!

The Japs are coming!
