Yang Chen led the rake ear to climb the city wall, standing on it, the field of vision was very broad, and he could clearly see the situation outside the city.

Now, it seems that the outside of the city is calm, but Yang Chen knows that it won't be long.

With the withdrawal of a large number of garrisons and the arrival of Japanese pursuers, it will become a living purgatory.

And this open land outside the city will become a place for the bones of the little devils!

Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed, and it was only a matter of time.

Then, Yang Chen looked at the city gate and the collapse of the city wall, and ordered to rake the ears: "Rake ears, bring some brothers, get more stones and wood, and build a few more ring fortifications in these locations." ”

"Tuanza, what do you mean, we're going to pull the defense line out of the city?"

Rake Ear asked suspiciously.

"Not bad!"

Yang Chen nodded, and then continued: "As the first and strongest line of defense, the city wall must be held as much as possible.

Even if you can't hold it, you must use this line of defense to inflict the greatest possible casualties on the enemy.

Just using the city wall as the line of defense is too simple, and it is afraid that it will be taken care of by the Japanese aviation unit and field artillery unit.

Therefore, we must diversify and three-dimensional the line of defense.

Only in this way can we ensure that our army will not be fundamentally harmed when it is bombarded by heavy artillery of the Japanese army. ”

"yes, I see.

The reason why we set up the ring fortifications in the gap of the city wall and at the gate of the city is also to facilitate the smooth withdrawal of the brothers to the city, right? ”

Rake Ear nodded, then asked with a smile.

During the time he followed Yang Chen, he also learned a lot of military theories and knowledge, so as soon as Yang Chen mentioned it, he figured out the key to it.

"Let's get ready!"

"Yes!"

……

Two hours later, the sun sets and dusk falls.

At night, a rout of the city poured into the city from the west.

After identifying them, the defenders of the Tiger Regiments opened the gates and let them in.

At the same time, the Japanese pursuers also followed closely and chased to the city of Taiyuan.

Originally, these Japanese soldiers wanted to cover up all the way and kill directly into the city gate.

However, when they came under fire from the Tiger's reconnaissance battalion and the 4th battalion, they soon stopped their pursuit.

……

The situation was as Chen Qinghua expected, this group of routs retreated into the city, and when they learned that the commander-in-chief Fu Yisheng had led the garrison headquarters to evacuate and transfer in advance, he immediately went out of the south gate overnight and withdrew in the direction of the headquarters transfer.

In a short time, the defeated army in the north also successfully withdrew into the city.

also just said hello to Yang Chen and Chen Qinghua, and rushed to the south gate at night.

However, this time, the luck of this batch of defeated troops was not as good as that of the Western Front.

As soon as they left the south gate, they were intercepted by a large number of Japanese troops.

This group of Japanese troops was not another unit, it was from the eastern front of Mingqian Town, on the order of the commander of the dispatch army, Nishio Shouzo, to go to the south of Taiyuan City, instead of the mixed corps responsible for intercepting the retreat of the garrison.

The garrison retreating from the northern front, when they found that there was an enemy interception in front of them, and there was hardly a tentative charge, they retreated into the city in panic like a flock of frightened birds.

"Fuck, these shit guys, it's so inauthentic! In vain, after we broke them off here, we actually ran away first! ”

In the north of Taiyuan City, the temporary headquarters of the Huben Regiment, Chen Qinghua, the commander of the 1st Independent Brigade, scolded with a look of hatred and hatred.

"Brigade Commander Chen doesn't have to mind."

Yang Chen smiled faintly, but he didn't care at all, and after waving his hand, he continued: "Our army retreats, someone has to break off, can't everyone stay?"

What's the difference between that and the little devil's decisive battle? ”

"But...... With these guys, what qualifications do they have to cut off the heroic force of your Tiger Regiment?

They don't deserve it! ”

Chen Qinghua's face was not angry.

"After the broken team, if the strength is not good, in the face of the devil's attack, it will run as soon as it hits, so what's the point?"

Yang Chen continued to smile and asked.

"This ......"

Chen Qinghua couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while.

After a while, Chen Qinghua said again: "Commander Yang, now that my garrison has completely withdrawn, why don't you take this opportunity to withdraw from Taiyuan City together?" ”

"Nope."

Yang Chen shook his head: "Let's go south to Pingchuan, there is no moat to defend for hundreds of miles, and now the garrison has not gone far."

If we abandon the fortress of Taiyuan City, our army is very likely to be caught up by the Japanese army.

At that point, the situation will only get worse.

Therefore, we must use the fortress of Taiyuan City to stop the large Japanese army as much as possible, and buy enough time for the garrison to withdraw. ”

As soon as Yang Chen's words fell, a signal soldier suddenly ran in from outside the door with a roar.

didn't have time to salute, so he reported to Yang Chen: "Report to the regiment, the garrison of the northern front has retreated to the city again." ”

"What?"

Yang Chen was stunned.

"The situation was such that the defenders of the northern front had not been far from the south gate when they encountered a large number of Japanese troops blocking the way.

Fearing that they would be outnumbered, the garrisons turned around and retreated into the city. ”

"Hahaha! That's fine, you can defend the city with us! ”

When Chen Qinghua heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yang Chen's face sank and asked, "Do you know the identity of the devil who blocked the way?" ”

"The report is unknown."

"In that case, let them break through the east gate."

Chen Qinghua didn't understand a little when he heard this, so he asked, "Head Yang, since these guys have been stopped by the little devils, let them stay together."

For the sake of you, you have to send them out? ”

"Brigade Commander Chen, don't you know that the morale of this group of defeated troops is low, and staying in the city has no effect at all except for affecting the morale of our army.

Besides, sooner or later, we will have to break through.

If we let these guys stay, we'll be held back when we break through.

Therefore, it is better to send them out of the city early. ”

"However, as far as I know, it was the Japanese 4th Division that intercepted the east gate, and its strength was still above the other three directions.

If you evacuate from the east gate, it will not be appropriate? ”

"I have dealt with the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, and they are the bottom of the 17 standing divisions of the Japanese Army in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight.

No, it can even be said that the 4th Division of the Japanese Army is completely vulnerable.

You may not understand what I said now, but you will understand when you meet the 4th Division of the Japanese Army after the 1st Independent Brigade. ”

"Gah?"

Chen Qinghua listened to the clouds, looked confused, and said in his heart, "Is this Japanese army still vulnerable?

Yes, in front of your tiger group, the Japanese army is vulnerable.

But the question: Isn't my 1st Independent Brigade your Tiger Regiment?
