"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Who would have guessed that?"

"Actually, it may not be useful to guess." Wei Dayong suddenly illustrated, "When I was out of the city just now, I took a look from the air and found that the puppet army's sentry posts are very dense, and there are supervising teams watching. Fear is powerless."

Ding Wei said: "In this way, it can only be a strong attack, but it's okay, just take this opportunity to practice how to fight a strong attack on a strong city? I'm sure there will be many such battles in the future. With this experience, I won’t be caught blind again when I encounter similar tough battles in the future.”

But Li Yunlong couldn't wait any longer, and said, "Damn, why hasn't the artillery set up their artillery positions yet? What time is it?"

As soon as the words fell, a communication soldier rushed in and said loudly: "Report, the artillery position has been built, and can provide artillery support to the infantry brothers at any time!"

"Haha, this is really what you say." Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard the words.

Kong Jie said: "Lao Ding and Lao Li, let's start then?"

Ding Wei said: "Let's start."

Li Yunlong said: "Old Ding, you should wait for the good news from our independent regiment at the headquarters. I promise you that the city will be destroyed before dawn!"

After speaking, Li Yunlong turned around and left in a hurry.

"This kid." Kong Jie cursed with a smile and followed.

Watching Li Yunlong and Kong Jie leave, Ding Wei felt lost, and suddenly felt that the former commander-in-chief of the enemy was not so good anymore.

Wang Ye then said with a smile: "Captain Ding, if you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can quickly change with our regiment leader. Our regiment leader will definitely be happy."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Ding Wei said angrily, "The good show has just begun. Although it is interesting to stay on the front line, you will miss the rare big scene."

Wang Ye smiled, didn't say anything more, and started to do homework on the picture.

……

Let's talk about Li Yunlong, who soon arrived at the forward position. In fact, he was not far from the Shejitan headquarters, because the Shejitan headquarters was only more than 800 meters away from the Gongji Gate.

Seeing Li Yunlong, several battalion commanders including Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao immediately came up to meet him.

"Captain, how are you doing?"

"Captain, can we start?"

"Yes, Captain, the brothers are all waiting."

"Admonitions, reminders, I know reminders, reminders, you guys." Li Yunlong laughed and cursed, and then said, "I have good news for you, the artillery has just arrived!"

While Li Yunlong was speaking, a telephone soldier came over with a telephone on his back. This is the forward observation post of the artillery company, and the shooting parameters can be corrected by telephone at any time.

This is also the firepower principle established by Wang Ye for the three artillery companies. It is absolutely not necessary to engage in large-scale firepower coverage, and only engage in precise shooting.

The artillery observation post quickly put down the phone.

Li Yunlong then said to Shen Quan: "Shen Quan, send a platoon to make a feint first."

"Yes!" Shen Quan agreed, and then turned around and shouted, "One row after another, serve me first, pay attention to safety, and try to use the houses and buildings on the street to cover yourself."

"Yes!"

"Follow me, brothers!"

The platoon leader agreed, and immediately led a platoon of more than 60 soldiers, holding bayonet-mounted rifles, to Gongjimen Street.

The next moment, the searchlight on the top of the Gongji Gate shone, and immediately after that, intensive rifle fire poured down violently.

Chapter 441 Vicious

The establishment of the Seventh Division of the Puppet Army is somewhat different from the other divisions. There is no brigade-level organizational system in the middle, and the regiment-level organizational system is directly below the division, with a total of six regiments under its jurisdiction.

After taking over the fortification of the city wall, Pan Ren quickly made deployments,

命令10、11、12及22团分别守住四段城垣,23团及24团作为战役预备队,随时准备支援出现险情的方向。

Diao Desheng's 22nd Regiment was responsible for the defense of the northern section of the city wall.

Speaking of which, Diao Desheng is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

If this was changed to the wild, or to the past, as soon as the Eighth Route Army fired a shot, Diao Desheng would definitely order his puppet troops to kneel and surrender without hesitation.

But now it's not in the wild, it's in Taiyuan.

And now it is no better than before. Since Pan Ren became the commander of the Seventh Division of the Puppet Army, he led them into the base area and did a lot of evil things. Now the tacit understanding between their puppet army and the Eighth Route Army has long since ceased to exist. It has already become a situation of endless death, so surrendering at this time can only be a dead end.

Since you can't surrender, you can only grit your teeth and fight to the end.

Although there were only a few dozen members of the Eighth Route Army rushing along Gongjimen Street, Diao Desheng was still so frightened that he hid behind the battlements and did not dare to show his head. He shouted: "Brothers, hit me, hit me hard!"

The head of the regiment, Diao Desheng, looked like this, and the puppet army under him naturally followed suit.

So hundreds of puppet soldiers hid behind the battlements, not daring to show their heads to aim. They just held up pistols or rifles and fired at the outside of the battlements. As for whether they could hit the target, only God knows.

The Eighth Route Army rushing along Gongjimen Street quickly discovered the puppet army's passive avoidance of fighting. Dang even returned to the center of the street from both sides of the street, carrying a ladder and rushing forward at full speed.

Taiyuan City originally had a moat, and it was drawn from the Fen River.

But later, with the expansion of the city, the moat of Taiyuan was filled.

So now, the Eighth Route Army will soon approach the root of the city wall, and they will be able to erect ladders immediately.

Finally, a puppet army realized the danger and shouted loudly: "Tuan Zuo, the Eighth Route Army has rushed to the root of the city wall! The city wall can no longer be defended, so retreat quickly!"

"What did you say?" Diao Desheng was a little confused.

Is the fortification of the city wall going to fall so soon?

The total length of the northern section of the city wall is only more than 3000 meters. Their 22nd regiment has more than 1000 or [-] people, and there is an average of one soldier every three meters. Such a dense defense can't stand up to dozens of Eighth Route Army?

If he hadn't been blind just now, he seemed to have seen dozens of eight roads?

Dozens of eight roads in the district took down the fortifications of the city wall guarded by a group of them?

It's fucking embarrassing, isn't it?Diao Desheng instantly felt a [-]-point critical strike. No matter how bad our puppet army's combat effectiveness is, it can't be so bad, right?Grandma's!

At that moment, Diao Desheng roared loudly: "Pass my order, the machine gun fires! Fire quickly!"

Diao Desheng gave an order, and more than a dozen machine gun firepower points hidden in the city wall opened fire at the same time, pouring intensive machine gun firepower on the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army, carrying the ladders and rushing forward, fell down several times in an instant.

The rest of the Eighth Route Army hurriedly threw away their ladders and hid on both sides of the street, and dragged their wounded comrades back.

In a blink of an eye, Gongjimen Street became empty again, only the puppet army's machine gun fire pulled streamers of light in the dim night sky.

……

300 meters away, the forward headquarters of the Independent Regiment.

Li Yunlong said: "The puppet army in Shanxi is only Yang Cheng's third division and Zhao Rui's fifth division. These two divisions are from the Jinsui army. Their combat effectiveness is not first-rate, but there are still second-rate ones."

After a pause, he continued: "As for the Seventh Division, it was a joint compilation of the Fourth and Eighth Mixed Brigades of the Puppet Army. The predecessors of these two brigades were the security regiments of the Kuomintang. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not even second-rate. At most, it is at the third-rate level! With the fighting power of our independent regiment, fighting against such a third-rate puppet army is simply cutting melons and cutting vegetables."

Shen Quan said: "That is, unless the devils come to reinforce, otherwise even if there is no fire support from the artillery battalion, our third battalion has the confidence to take down the Gongji Gate. Commander, why don't you just attack directly?"

Li Yunlong said: "No, you can't do it recklessly. You can't fight like this."

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "In war, you must have the courage to meet the brave to win. This is true, but you must not be blindly reckless. As a commander, you have to learn to use artillery firepower. fight?"

"I've heard of it." Shen Quan nodded and said, "Regimental Commander, you killed the headquarters of the Sakata Regiment with one shot, and then led the Xinyi Regiment to defeat the Sakata Regiment from the front and break out of the encirclement."

"This is the role of artillery firepower!" Li Yunlong nodded.

"If you use the artillery well, it can become a sharp knife that stabs the enemy's heart!"

While the two were talking, the artillery observer next to him had already reported the coordinates to the artillery position by telegram.

Immediately afterwards, there were four sounds of tom tom tom tom tom, four beams of light roared from a few kilometers away, and hit the city wall again, and then exploded four groups of dazzling flames on the city wall.

Unfortunately, it failed to hit the target.

However, the artillery observers didn't care about this, and reported the corrected coordinates to each artillery position one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the second row of shells roared in. This time, all four shells hit the target, destroying the firepower points of the four machine guns hidden in the city wall.

The firepower of the four machine guns was destroyed, and the firepower in the direction of Gongjimen immediately became sparse.

Li Yunlong turned his head and said to Shen Quan: "Shen Quan, you can invest in a company to launch a strong attack. If you are lucky, you will be able to capture the fortifications of the Gongji Gate this time."

Shen Quan cheered up, and shouted: "Yi Lian, go!"

The first company commander immediately jumped up, waved the shell gun in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!"

"Come on! Kill!" More than 200 fighters who had been hidden on both sides of the street carried ladders and rushed up the street, and then rushed along the street to the Gongji Gate.

On the city wall ahead, the puppet army is desperately firing.

The red light of the muzzle flame almost covered the entire city wall fortifications.

From time to time, streamers of bullets roared across the night sky.

However, the hit rate of the puppet army was very impressive, and almost no soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were shot and fell down.

On the contrary, the Eighth Route Army stopped and fired during the charge, always hitting the puppet troops on the city wall, and from time to time some puppet soldiers fell from the top of the city screaming.

The tactical literacy of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

Pan Ren's crooked mind is not enough to make up for the huge gap.

……

The puppet army on the city wall of Gongji Gate has already panicked.

"Tuan Zuo, cannons! Cannons! The Eighth Route Army has cannons!"

A puppet soldier shouted in panic, "Our machine gun firepower has been knocked out, and the city wall can no longer be defended. We should withdraw quickly, and run quickly!"

"Fart, where can I go?"

Diao Desheng actually wanted to run away, but there was really nowhere to run.

So he could only grit his teeth and roar: "Hold me, hold me fucking!"

"Tuan Zuo, I can't stand it anymore!" A puppet soldier said while raising his gun and shooting at the outside, but at the moment he leaned forward, a bullet suddenly roared and hit his head accurately. In the next second, the puppet army fell straight and fell in front of Diao Desheng's eyes.

Those empty eyes stared straight at Diao Desheng.

Diao Desheng was so frightened that he wanted to run away.

But at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded on the road.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Pan Ren leading a large group of puppet troops rushing up the horse path.

Seeing Pan Ren, Diao Desheng gave up the idea of ​​running away, because Pan Ren would kill him, and this bastard can do anything with the support of the Japanese.

……

Inner City of Taiyuan, Headquarters of the First Army.

Although it was several kilometers away, in the war room of the First Army Headquarters, you could still clearly hear the sound of artillery from the direction of Gongji Gate and Zhenyuan Gate.

Hua Guzheng said with a dark face: "This is... a 38mm caliber field howitzer of the Meiji 75th year! Damn it, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also brought the cannon they seized from the Second Guard Division!"

After a pause, Hua Guzheng said again: "What are those idiots from the Ninth Aviation Squadron doing for food? They can't even find such a big target?"

"Hanagu-kun, calm down."

Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited."

Hua Guzheng frowned and said: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army Independence Regiment has used artillery fire, so the machine gun fire points on the north gate wall will be easily destroyed. I think it is not right to hand over the fortification of the city wall to the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association Army." Responsible, they are definitely not the opponents of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

"Hanagu-kun, don't be impatient." Yanmatsu Yoshio said.

"We have to trust Sakamoto-kun's judgment and Pan Sang's ability."

"Your Excellency, Commander..." Hanagu was about to tell the difference, but Yoshio Iwamatsu forcibly interrupted.

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Hanagu-kun, why don't you give the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association Army and Pan Sang a chance, what if they really defend the fortifications of the city wall? Besides, even if the outer city wall is not defended in the end, it's not a big deal. Because there are still four infantry squadrons of the imperial army guarding various blocks of the outer city, the sky cannot fall."

After a pause, he said again: "So why not sit down and drink tea."

"Hai." Huagu sat down helplessly, holding a cup of tea.

……

300 meters outside Gongji Gate, the front headquarters of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong and Shen Quan each held a telescope and were observing the battle situation on the gate and wall of Gongji City.

The searchlight on the top of the Gongji Gate had already been extinguished by the snipers of the Warrior Wolf Squadron, but the fires burning above and below the city, as well as the red light from the explosion of shells and grenades, still vaguely illuminated the entire city wall fortifications.

From the faint fire and the red light from the explosion of the grenade, it can be clearly seen that the soldiers of the third battalion and one company have put more than a dozen long ladders on the city wall.
