"Squad leader! Monitor! ”

The pillar screamed in horror and alarmed the others. ，

Everyone turned around after hearing the screams, and quickly rushed back when they saw Shao Fei injured.

"Captain~"

"Squad Leader~"

“……”

Shao Fei looked at them: "Damn, I'm the squad leader and the captain, and I'll call me the captain in the future." ”

The pillar said, "I said that you will always be my squad leader. Squad leader, let's go back. We did what we had to do. ”

Shao Fei shook his head helplessly: "What a big deal, it's just that I have a D in my thigh, and I didn't even have a bullet left." Go, it's not safe here, go to the assembly point and find the guard platoon. ”

Zhu Zi quickly cut the clothes on his body with a knife, bandaged Shao Fei's wounds, and then said, "Squad leader, I will carry you." ”

After speaking, the pillar directly picked up Shao Fei and walked towards the south.

After an hour's march, the special combat team came to the place where the guns were originally hidden, and at this time, the soldiers of the guard platoon had already arrived here and were waiting for Shao Fei and them.

When the soldiers of these guard platoons saw that Shao Fei was injured, they surrounded him one after another.

The guard platoon commander said remorsefully: "You are covering our injuries, I really don't know what to say,......"

"Stop talking nonsense." Shao Fei directly interrupted the guard platoon commander's words, and then said, "Give your grenade to the pillar." ”

The guard platoon commander didn't understand what Shao Fei meant, and asked, "What do you want a grenade for?" ”

The pillar shot at the guard platoon commander Shen and said, "Take it, we have grenades on us to stop the bleeding." ”

The guard platoon commander took the grenade on his body to the post. The pillar skillfully took out the gunpowder, and then lit it on Shao Fei's thigh. Because it was a penetrating wound, the pillar was in another place, did the same action, and then wrapped it in a cloth.

The guard platoon commander looked at this scene in surprise and sighed: "You have a special fighting style, and even the treatment of injuries is so special." ”

After finishing the matter, Shao Fei ordered: "Release the guard post, rest in place, and return to Taiyuan tomorrow." ”

The pillar didn't understand very much, and said with emotion: "Squad leader, you're like this, go back." ”

Shao Fei didn't know why, he felt bored in his heart, and shouted at the pillar: "There must be a beginning and an end!" ”

At this time, the guard platoon commander sighed and said to Shao Fei: "You don't have to go back. The brigade commander explained to me before he came, and he couldn't ask you to go back to Taiyuan under any circumstances. ”

Shao Fei asked, "Why?" ”

The guard platoon commander replied: "The brigade commander said that it is not suitable for you there, your battlefield should be in the jungle, in the mountains, and large-scale urban defense battles are not suitable for you." Also, the brigade commander knows that Taiyuan can't be saved, and he doesn't want such a good team of yours to die in vain. ”

After Shao Fei heard this, he was completely silent.

Seeing Shao Fei's lost expression, the guard platoon commander said again: "The brigade commander said it in the end, but there is a glimmer of hope in Taiyuan to keep it, and he will definitely not ask you to leave." ”

After the guard platoon commander finished speaking, he ordered his fighters to return to Taiyuan.

The pillar squatted next to Shao Fei and asked, "Squad leader, do you want to go back to Taiyuan now?" ”

Shao Fei smiled bitterly, looked at his legs, and said helplessly: "What are you going to do when you go back, do you think I can still fight?" Rest and go home tomorrow morning. ”

In the city of Taiyuan, about a battalion of Japanese troops occupied the artillery field, and after a night of fighting, they were never able to drive out of the city.

The news of the Japanese army's entry into the inner city soon spread, and the entire Taiyuan city was panicked, both the soldiers and the officers had the idea of how to retreat, and the people's hearts began to be discouraged.

In the small school field, the two sides formed a confrontation situation. Because the follow-up troops could not enter the city for a while, in order to keep this force from taking root in the city, they used airplanes to provide relief.

On 8 November, the Japanese army continued its all-out offensive on the northern and eastern fronts, and after several days of fierce fighting, the regiments suffered heavy losses in soldiers and suffered heavy casualties among officers below the battalion commander level.

The breach in the northeastern corner of the city was beyond the control of the defenders. From here, the Japanese army rushed in about a brigade of troops, and together with the devils who broke through yesterday, they expanded the results of the battle.

Due to the great limitations of the terrain, the Jin Sui army was not conducive to the enemy's operation, and after a whole morning of street fighting, although several courtyards were captured, the development was still limited.

The defenders were also exhausted, unable to annihilate the enemy who entered the city, nor did they have the strength to drive them out of the city.

After 2 p.m., it was discovered that the enemy was covering his vehicles with tanks and constantly transporting troops south from the road west of the Fen River.

The Taiyuan command judged that the enemy wanted to "put a long line about big fish", and used the siege troops to contain the defenders from retreating, and once the encirclement and deployment were completed, all the defenders would be annihilated.

In this declining situation where there is no hope for foreign aid and no strength for the counteroffensive, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the defenders.

The Taiyuan headquarters hurriedly distributed the retreat orders that had been prepared for a long time to the troops defending the city.

By this time, night had fallen. Fu Zuoyi walked in front, and the personnel from all parts of the headquarters followed one after another, followed by the special service company of the 35th Army, the 10th team of the military police, and the 3rd team of the security team, which formed a long line. Walk out of the main entrance of the headquarters and walk down the street towards the south gate.

The order for the staff to retreat was drawn up in a timely manner and was not issued slowly, but unfortunately the city gate was sealed.

When we approached the Great South Gate, it was a big disappointment. I saw that inside and outside the gate, up and down the city wall, there were all scattered officers and soldiers vying to get out of the city, you squeezed me and embraced, and the noise was deafening.

At this time, the enemy also fired artillery intermittently, blindly firing into the city, which increased the panic of the people.

In front of the gate, some people were moving sandbags to open the door, but the crowd at Gate D was getting tighter and tighter, hindering their work.

Outside Gate D, there were armored vehicles, trucks, horses, mules, camels, and ......, and Gate D was also full of bags, sandbags, broken bicycles, crushed camels, dead people, and so on.

As soon as they stumble, they fall, and the powerful ones rush forward, and those who stumble are trampled to the ground. Some people cried and shouted, some people shot and beat blindly, and it was a mess. Many people were trampled to death and injured, and it was here that the major of the 435th Regiment sent a letter to him.

The various units were scattered and found their way out of the city gate, and went their own way, some squeezed out of the city gate, some got out of the artillery bunkers, some crawled out of the heavy machine gun S holes, and some came out of the city with ropes, and so on.

After Fu Zuoyi left the city, only the platoon commander of the spy company was left behind to follow and protect. The most embarrassed was the chief of staff of the headquarters, who ran around alone all night, and even lost a shoe when crossing the Fen River.

The troops defending the city received orders to retreat one after another, but due to the hasty retreat, the formation of chaos, and the night operation, the front and back did not care for each other, and many officers and men broke away from the troops.

Dong Qiwu, the commander of the 218th Brigade, was left with only two singles to go out of the city and miss with the guard platoon. After dawn, the road was blocked by the enemy and could not be passed, so Dong Qiwu walked more and more southeast, until he reached Qinxian, and after more than a month, he found his troops in Shilou.

The entire defense of Taiyuan ended in the hasty escape of the defenders. At the same time, it also announced the end of the Battle of Taiyuan, and the whole of Shanxi fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

The Battle of Taiyuan, which lasted for two months, was the largest, fiercest, longest and most significant battle in North China in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

The total strength of the Japanese army in the war was about 140,000 in four and a half divisions, with nearly 30,000 casualties; The squadron participated in the battle with a total strength of more than 280,000 men in 6 group armies and 52 divisions, with more than 100,000 casualties.

The Battle of Xinkou consumed a large amount of the Japanese army's vital strength and restrained the Japanese army's southward movement along the Pinghan Railway. The negligence in the defense of Niangzi Pass and the fact that the Japanese army took advantage of it was the fundamental reason for the failure of the battle.
