Chapter 952: City of Despair
The black smoke was filled, and the surroundings of Taiyuan City were already covered with war, but Taiyuan City, which was alone in the center of the storm, was strangely calm, which made every devil stationed in this city feel a chill in his heart.
The days passed, the night fell, the devils stood at the head of the city, did not see the PLA launch a new round of attacks, but could see that the PLA surrounding Taiyuan was more and more numerous.
The surroundings of Taiyuan City are gradually impermeable, and the water does not leak, and it has been completely surrounded by the People's Liberation Army into an iron bucket. Even if they want to break out of the city now, they have lost their chance.
But even if you kill the devil, you don't dare to break through, there is still a chance of life in the city, and if you go out of the city, you will definitely die. The PLA already had an advantage in terms of troops, much more than the Japanese troops stationed in the city.
Moreover, with the terrifying firepower of the People's Liberation Army, I am afraid that as long as the Japanese army launches a round of attacks, most of them will die on the way to break through. The rest, if you don't surrender, will only be killed and killed.
Time passed minute by minute, the clouds of sorrow condensed in the sky over Taiyuan became thicker and thicker, and the worries that could not be dissolved were intertwined in the hearts of every devil, as if someone had sprinkled an invisible net in the dark, connecting all the devils on this big net, and no one could escape the arrangement of fate.
At this moment, the headquarters of the Taiyuan North China Dispatch Army is also full of gloomy clouds. All kinds of panicked remarks and rumors are spreading out of nowhere, and the more the PLA does not attack Taiyuan, the more nervous the devils here are.
There seems to be a big mountain behind every devil, and they are almost out of breath. Now they are extremely eager for the PLA to attack as soon as possible, because then they can lift the mountain behind them.
The mountain behind Kiyohide Shimada is the heaviest, because the fate of the entire North China Dispatch Army is in my hands. He has put the North China Dispatch Army on the track of war, and if any one wrong decision is made, all of them will die without a place to be buried.
"Attacked?" Shimada Kiyohide asked weakly, he sat behind the desk, his whole body was languishing, as if he was about to sink his body into the chair, decadent like a lovelorn man, depressed to the extreme.
"Your Excellency, Commander, you've asked sixty-seven times!" The chief of staff on the side also had deep anxiety on his face, and said dejectedly: "If the People's Liberation Army attacks, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible!" ”
Shimada Kiyohide raised his head slowly, it was just over a day, his eyes were already bloodshot, and there were countless gray hairs mixed in the middle of his original black hair, and the whole person looked like he had aged twenty years old overnight.
Heavy dark bags hung under his eyes, and deep wrinkles stretched his forehead in three pieces. If he were to say that he was a big smoker at the moment, I'm afraid no one would not believe him.
"What do you say, what does this PLA want to do? Since last night's bluff, there has been no movement until now, what is this for? Are they giving us a kick? Kiyohide Shimada looked inquiringly at the officers under him, his face full of confusion.
The devil officers gathered in front of him looked at each other, and they also wanted to know what the PLA was doing. If the opponent does not attack, there is always a knife hanging over their heads. If you fall and don't fall, and if you don't retreat, the devils are on the verge of collapse.
There was silence in the command headquarters, and Shimada Kiyohide swept over his men blankly. But no one made eye contact with him for even a second, and even his chief of staff lowered his head the moment he saw his eyes.
No one answered for him, and Kiyohide Shimada couldn't figure it out. If you can't figure it out, you can't make a correct judgment, and if you can't make a correct judgment, it's very likely that you will fall into the plan set up for him by the PLA, and if you do, they will be doomed.
Kiyohide Shimada's head was about to explode, and for the first time, he felt that the commander of the dispatch army who was high above was so annoying, and he had to make any damn decision. It would be nice if he was just an ordinary officer, he didn't have to think about so many things that drove him crazy.
"Have our reinforcements arrived? Is there any information? After a long while, Shimada Kiyohide asked.
"There is no message, whether it is reinforcements from the north or from the south, we have sent many telegrams, but so far there has been no answer." When the chief of staff said this, his expression was even more frustrated.
"Sir, aren't our reinforcements coming? Since the People's Liberation Army has occupied the railway station and Xiaolongshan, with their capabilities, our reinforcements may not be able to reach Taiyuan, right? A devil officer asked.
"Yes, the two most important strongholds in Taiyuan City have been lost. Even if reinforcements come, I am afraid they will not be able to break through the barriers formed by the PLA. What's more, they haven't heard from them yet! Another devil officer said.
"Could something have gone wrong, or maybe they don't want to come at all, so they've been deliberately delaying?"
As soon as everyone said a word, all kinds of speculations came out, and some people even speculated whether the reinforcements had fled Shanxi and lost Taiyuan to the People's Liberation Army.
Kiyohide Shimada slammed the table, and the whole person bounced up from the chair and yelled angrily: "Give me silence!" I didn't see what you had to do to fight, but it's very imaginative to make something out of nothing! Don't think I don't know, the rumors that are going viral in the command are what you imagined! ”
A group of devil officers immediately bowed their heads, in front of Shimada Kiyohide, they were just a group of subordinates who could be shot at any time, who dared to offend Shimada Kiyohide's reverse scales.
Shimada Kiyohide is now angry when he sees this group of subordinates who can't do big things and can't do small things well, but as long as he had a decent team, he wouldn't have come to this point. There was no one around him who could help him, and almost all of the capable people died on the battlefield, leaving only a bunch of waste around his ears and buzzing.
Kiyohide Shimada was just about to let this group of subordinates get out, when at this moment, the rumbling sound of cannon suddenly came from a distance, and the entire headquarters that shook was in a frenzy.
The hearts of all the devils were tightly lifted at this moment, and their faces did not have fear, but showed ecstasy. The knife hanging over their heads finally fell, and there was an end to it, even if it was death, it was countless times better than before.
Shimada Kiyohide rushed out from behind his desk, pushed away the men who were blocking him, and rushed out.
"Finally hit, finally hit, great!" Shimada Kiyohide danced happily, looking at him, as if he hoped that the People's Liberation Army would rush up and beat him up, and his face was full of expressions of preparing to be abused.
"Ready, ready, order the troops to prepare immediately! According to my previous deployment, as long as the PLA dares to attack, I will immediately give them a head-on attack! Kiyohide Shimada turned around and yelled, his speech was already a little incoherent, he was so excited.
But at this moment, the artillery fire, which had just been fired for less than five minutes, suddenly disappeared cleanly. There was a dead silence again inside and outside the city, and in an instant it was back to its original appearance.
Shimada Kiyohide's smile was still on his face, and the devil officers around him were also preparing to gather troops to fight. Everyone stopped moving at this moment and stared blankly in the direction of the outside of the city.
"What's wrong? What about artillery fire? What about artillery fire? What the hell is the PLA going to do, come and bomb us! ”
A group of people waited in the courtyard for twenty minutes, looking out of the city like a bunch of fools. But the artillery fire never sounded again, and the PLA seemed to be too bored, firing the fast-growing shells to tease the devils in the city, and there was no movement after the fight.
Kiyohide Shimada was about to go crazy, and the will to fight that he had just mentioned was instantly beaten back to the bottom. If the People's Liberation Army did not attack, the knife hanging around his neck would not have disappeared, and Shimada Kiyohide did not dare to imagine whether he could survive a day under such huge mental pressure.
"Sir, sir, the People's Liberation Army is shouting under the city to ask our supreme commander to meet!" Suddenly, a devil ran in from outside, and before he could get closer, he shouted loudly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Shimada Kiyohide, and they all had expectations in their eyes, but also with a cold glow.
It's time for life and death, and maybe these people can rebel at any time to save their lives. Shimada Kiyohide only felt the cold on his back, and his brain hurt for a while.
"Who told me to go?" Shimada Kiyohide asked the devil who reported the news coldly.
"It's the chief of staff of the People's Liberation Army, Gao Dong!" The devil who reported the news yelled.
"Gao Dong ......"
"It's Him"
The devils around all exclaimed, they had all heard of Gao Dong's name. If there was no Gao Dong, the strength of the North China Dispatch Army would be much stronger than that of the Chinese Dispatch Army, and it would not have fallen to the point it is today.
Kiyohide Shimada's forehead was bruised, and suddenly he was scared to see Gao Dong. What exactly does the legendary god of killing want to do, Shimada Kiyohide doesn't even have the slightest interest in knowing, because he is afraid that when he sees Gao Dong, he will be so frightened that his legs will go weak and fall to his knees.
But he didn't dare not go, and the officers behind him were all staring at him. If he doesn't go, I'm afraid these people will tie him up too. Compared to their lives, Shimada Kiyohide is not afraid of their.
"Let's go, lead the way!" Shimada Kiyohide finally stabilized his mind, pretended to be calm, waved his big hand, followed behind the devil soldier who reported the news, and walked in the direction of the city wall.
A large number of devil officers followed, and they were all curious about what the Supreme Commander of the People's Liberation Army wanted to do and what their fate would be.
Soon, Shimada Kiyohide and others came to the city wall.
When he got here, Shimada Kiyohide became scared again, and walked up the stairs step by step, his legs as if they were filled with lead, and each step was so heavy that he had the urge to stand still forever and never move forward.
Finally came to the city wall, and all the devils around them turned their eyes on it. Shimada Kiyohide swallowed with difficulty, and pretended to be calm and walked towards the city wall. But his legs were trembling!
