"Tom!" As a ball of flame came out from the muzzle of the 20-mm Elephant anti-tank gun, one of the machine guns of the devils in the distance that was huddled in the bunker immediately fell silent.

It was covered by buildings that would have made it difficult for zigzag mortars to hit it, but the simple masonry structure could not stop the power of the anti-tank guns fired directly from the air.

"This guy is so exciting!" Although Xiao Hefei said this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily grinned, and the huge back force hit half of Xiao Hefei's shoulders numb. Xiao Hefei rubbed his shoulders, the lieutenant's epaulettes there had already been removed because of the needs of the battle. As an ace sniper who has killed more than 100 enemies, he has long understood that all the conspicuous marks on his body may attract a deadly attack from the opponent's sharpshooter.

"Damn it, it's an elephant!" After all, he had already adjusted to the huge recoil of this gun a few times, and his shoulder quickly recovered, and after a low curse, he turned back to a target.

"Grenadier?" In the sniper scope, a puff of gunpowder smoke can be clearly seen rising there, and several devils can be vaguely seen in the smoke carrying two grenadiers.

Xiao Hefei pressed the itch, but did not attack. At the beginning, there was a division of labor, and such an obvious target was not the target of his attack. He glanced at the M19 automatic mortar not far from him. Most of the grenadiers near the city walls were knocked out by it, and the devils could not remember the lesson and ran out to fiddle with the grenadiers. Sure enough, when he turned his head again, there was already a larger column of smoke rising from it, and the rapid three-shot mortar had blown it to the ground.

Xiao Hefei still looked at it in relief, and then turned the target to another place, where there were two machine guns arranged, and with the shelter of the building, it was still not conducive to the mortar attack. It seems that he has made careful preparations when arranging his position. But as long as they can't block the view from the air, the elephant anti-tank gun can blow them up.

He was just about to aim, but he saw a clay house next to it collapse violently, and a large crawler bulldozer directly pushed the scattered clay and piled up in front of the devil's machine gun position, and the machine gun bullets hit the steel plate behind through the dirt, making a muffled sound. Bulldozers equipped with steel plate armor are not afraid of the bite of these machine gun bullets, even if the cab is surrounded by a circle of steel plates, like a tank. It's just that the upper side doesn't need a rotating turret, but can be made stronger.

"Go further and bury them alive!" Fu Chengguan, who personally went into battle with his sword, observed the scene outside while directing the driver to continue to advance. There was a loud roar of the bulldozer engine, and the black smoke mixed with the flying dust blocked people's vision, and even Xiao Hefei only saw a vague huge figure in the roar of the engine, piling up more dirt and soil embryos, and pushing it towards the machine gun position of the devil.

After an even more violent burst of machine-gun gunfire erupted on the devil's machine-gun position, it suddenly stopped. The dust that flew in mid-air slowly settled as the roar of the bulldozer faded away, leaving only a large mound of dirt mixed with various construction debris, some of which looked like graves. It was the grave of the devil, and the bunkers of the devil were impenetrable by the accumulation of mud, and they could only be suffocated to death inside.

"Good!" Xiao Hefei let out a low sigh, even if he had honed his surname, so that when he was on a mission, he should not speak loudly, but when he saw the little devil being buried alive, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

His eyes still couldn't help but follow the bulldozer, which was also noticed by the devil, and a devil was holding a bundle of grenades, ready to pounce on the bulldozer. But there was also a machine gunner on the bulldozer who was guarding the surroundings with a machine gun, and a chain of machine gun bullets directly tore the devil in half.

But this did not stop the devil's crazy counterattack.

The 109th Division has been abandoned in Taiyuan as a test product by the military headquarters. Even if these reserves are all people who have been mixed with society for a long time, when they were blocked by the military headquarters and there was no way to retreat, they also burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. What's more, the military department has agreed to take care of their families as a price, and these soldiers who are looking forward to earning more military merits have even more passion for fighting.

The devils in front just fell, and a few devils rushed out to use as meat bullets, and there were also devils around to pounce, just to see that only one machine gun on the bulldozer could not seal all the angles. But a rain of bullets from Suomi submachine guns directly extinguished their attempts. How can the vanguard army not be guarded against such a weakness? Several infantry members of the vanguard army following behind had already protected some accidents. In the distance, an armored vehicle followed with a machine gun.

In the distance, an excavator like a giraffe with a long neck stretched directly into a small two-story building, and directly smashed the machine gun fortification of the devil in the window with a big shovel.

Not far from it, two forklifts were directly clearing several damaged houses and quickly constructing fortifications. In front of them, an ironclad tank with a ramming horn had just been pushed out of front of a fortification like a rhinoceros, the top of the ramming horn already stained with the dark brown of blood and dust, almost obscuring the metallic luster below.

This was the first street battle in which Fu Chengguan's construction machinery brigade participated. Fu Chengguan, who was inspired by the American house demolition machinery, combined those construction machines and weapons, and used the machinery and weapons of the base to create these hybrid construction machines. Several previous construction machinery brigades were still effective in dealing with trenches on the battlefield, but it was the first time to use them in street fighting, and the modification of construction machinery was also a little rough, and there were many improvements.

However, Meng Xiang has given great support, and what Huaxia lacks is innovation. Regardless of how effective this machine is on the battlefield, this spirit is worth encouraging. And practice has also proved that this kind of construction machinery is still quite practical.

"It's a pity, this is in the city of China, and the destructive power of these construction machinery can't be exerted at all." Fu Chengguan muttered a few words, and Luo Baozi's shouting of pointing out cultural relics and monuments everywhere couldn't help but sound in his mind.

As an experiment, they are just a dozen modified construction machines of a brigade, and the damaged areas are also outlined in advance, and they need to be cleaned up in advance for the city's development plan and road planning. Fortunately, the people at this time had very few belongings, and they had long known that war was going to break out, so most of them avoided it. It's just that the compensation after the fact will not be less.

The construction machinery brigade is constantly advancing with the rise of dust. They are not like tanks that are difficult to turn their guns in the streets and alleys, and they are not easy to fire high missiles, they just need to crash through.

"Be careful!" Xiao Hefei suddenly saw a devil jumping up from the pile of dead bodies through the sniper scope, and was about to rush to the bulldozer, so he couldn't help shouting in a hurry.

But after a gunshot not far away, the devil's head exploded, fell to the ground, and then exploded into minced meat with a loud bang.

Xiao Hefei looked sideways, but saw that Chen Ergou, who had just blown up the devil's head with pzb39, was searching for a new target, and couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, although he had a record of 100 people, he was distracted in this kind of war, which really shouldn't be.

"Is this a good deal, or is it not a good deal?" At this time, Chen Ergou was also thinking about one thing. Although Meng Xiang is not stingy with the use of troops, he is also advocating a sense of economy, and it is normal only if the consumption is proportional to the results. The bullets for the PZB39 anti-tank gun were expensive, and it was a bit wasteful to use against a single target, but it was worth it to save the bulldozer from being blown up at the time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ergou felt a lot more relaxed. He continued to search for the target, but the vanguard army advanced quickly, and on the basis of the continuous cooperation of the squad and the team, the street battle defense launched by the devils was not worth mentioning.

The biggest role of airships in the air is to deter, and the main thing is to attack troops on the ground. An iron fist slammed directly into the fortifications everywhere, and even the reinforced concrete could not block the blow of the iron fist. If the devil's firepower is too fierce, the Type 60 with a range of 60 meters will not be able to deal with it, or the Type 100 with a range of 100 meters will follow behind. Meng Xiang tested his own production failure several times in the control sample before he continued to use this bazooka with a surname. Although it is difficult to say between the Americans and the Soviet Union, his strength at this time is not enough to quickly replicate the iron fist.

At this time, the countdown to World War II has begun, and some weapons should be shown and ready to be sold for a good price. Some of the primary products were sold in exchange for a large amount of money, which happened to equip high-end goods and improve the overall level of the vanguard army. With the gradual acceleration of the equipment of various countries, the vanguard army, which mainly equipped weapons from 42 years ago in order to save money, has become less and less different from other countries. It's okay for those who can't make it, but if it's against Soviet Russia, then the pace of weapon upgrading needs to be accelerated.

However, because the weapons in the later stages of World War II were only half-priced, they cost more, which required more financial income to support them. In this way, something that will be invented in the near future needs to be sold in advance.

Of course, although the Iron Fist German Army was equipped late, it was quite practical for the current situation of the vanguard army, and Meng Xiang also fiddled with it in advance and began to use it on a small scale. However, these are controlled by the clones and their descendants, and there is mutual supervision by everyone, so as to minimize the risk of leakage.

Under the sharp attack of the vanguard army, the devil's defense line was rapidly crumbling, and the vanguard army advanced so fast that it had to make the airship move again and more easily.

"Withdraw!" The commander of the 109th Division, Anan Wei, saw that the five-star red flag sign of the vanguard army had appeared in front of him, and only then gritted his teeth and highlighted an order to retreat. This retreat was not a full-fledged retreat, but only a move back of his command. In order to boost morale, he placed the headquarters relatively forward.

In his plan, it would take at least a week for the vanguard to reach him. When the vanguard army attacked from three sides and from the air, it didn't take half a day for the position of his headquarters to be a little precarious.

The devils on all defensive fronts are still resisting stubbornly, and the fighting is also extremely fierce, causing a lot of trouble to the advancing vanguard army, although it cannot stop the vanguard army's inward advance, but it greatly slows down the pace of the vanguard army's advance. At dusk, although a layer of blood had floated in the sky above Taiyuan City, it still did not completely capture Taiyuan City.

"There's no rush! The devils have boasted about the Haikou that has been guarding for a month, and we are not in a hurry. It is necessary to advance steadily, and also take the opportunity to hone the army. Meng Xiang specially sent a telegram to comfort Sun Liren.

Sun Liren once promised him that he would be able to take Taiyuan City in three days. Although half of Taiyuan City has already fallen into the hands on the first day, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to fight in the future. The devil is not a static tactic, in addition to being more ferocious, I am afraid that some tactics will also be adjusted. When the time comes, it doesn't necessarily go as smoothly as it gets.

At this time, Sun Liren was also thinking about this problem. After pondering for a long time, he raised his head from the drawing he was staring at, looked at the darkening night outside the headquarters where the tent was erected, and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare for night battle!" ”

In this month's training of the New First Army, there are not only street battles, but also night battles. After suffering losses in the artillery fire of the vanguard army, he also began to pay attention to night combat training to close the gap in firepower between the two sides. Unlike the devil who became a monk halfway, the vanguard army's night combat equipment is more complete. The training for night combat has been gradually perfected under the joint development of the Clone Troop instructors and the General Staff. It is far from being comparable to the person who has just begun to pay attention to it.

That night, although there were gunshots in the first half of the night, it was relatively calm. Although the devils also wanted to regain the lost place through night fighting, they were all beaten back by the heavily defended vanguard army. The airships in the air constantly shine with searchlights, so that many sneak attacks by devils have to turn into strong attacks.

The devils attacked for a long time, and when they were a little tired, the teams of the New First Army and the New Eighth Army launched a larger-scale night battle under the reflection of a waning moon. The flashbangs that lit up from time to time made the devils on the defensive line cover their eyes and scream and fall down with a few bullets. This trick, which is already used in buildings during the day, is even more effective at night. The flickering flares and searchlights above the head also guided the vanguard as it advanced.

Although the area of Taiyuan City is not small, it is still worse than the cities of Moscow and other European and American countries, with fewer buildings and few reinforced concrete pure soil structures. It is more advantageous for the vanguard army with sharp artillery. It's just that their own children are distressed, and they are not afraid of smashing Taiyuan City, but the vanguard army needs to take into account the future development issues. Therefore, street fighting and night fighting can reduce the huge damage to the city, but it is more of a test for the soldiers.

Although the new First Army has not been in the hands of Sun Liren for a long time, the soldiers have a foundation, and under the drive of the clone soldiers and the guarantee of high welfare salaries, the soldiers of the vanguard army are also obedient to military discipline, so they were quickly brought to a new level by Sun Liren. More than a month of training has yielded remarkable results. Specially trained night battles have also shown their power.

The tired said that he was taken by surprise, and after the vanguard broke through the defensive line in front of him, he attacked two blocks in one go.

"Resist, you must resist me!" Anan Weiji, who was just about to squint, was awakened by the fierce gunfire and immediately organized personnel to block the attack of the vanguard army. After the devil's frantic counterattack, the position finally stabilized, and the two sides temporarily confronted each other. However, Anan looked at the battle report of more than 6,000 casualties on the first day and was in a daze for a long time.

Although the 109th Division has been reorganized and part of its combat strength has been replenished, its number is just over 20,000. More than 5,000 people have been worn out outside Taiyuan City. Today I went more than a third of the day. How can the remaining 10,000 people support the remaining 29 days?

"Those idiots in the military department have unrealistically formulated a defense for a month, without external reinforcements, without artillery fire and aircraft confrontation, it would be good to be able to hold for a week!" Anan Weiji sighed at the end.

But he still overestimated his team, and the next day the offensive of the vanguard army was more violent, although the devil also began to be familiar with the fighting style of the vanguard army, but the soldiers of the vanguard army were also more proficient in skills and tactics, and after eliminating the tension on the battlefield, the cooperation between each other was also more tacit.

The tank units of the vanguard army also drove into the city, although it was inconvenient to move, but the tanks could be used as mobile batteries, and they began to bombard directly at the fortifications of the devils. The 109th Division lacked artillery and could not suppress it, otherwise it would not have become an experiment in street fighting.

At this time, they were helpless in the face of the bombardment of the tank guns of the vanguard army. The tanks were surrounded by infantry defenses, a blockade of machine guns and submachine guns, and they simply could not rush through. They couldn't deal with machine guns and grenadiers, so they could only stare dryly at the T-34 tanks of the vanguard army.

The theory in Meng Xiang's mind that tanks are not suitable for street fighting is not valid in the hands of Yue himself, who does not have much attack power. After Sun Liren observed carefully, he sent out the tank troops, and these steel fortresses directly smashed the defensive front organized by the devils. The next day's offensive ended, and the devils had been divided into three parts and suppressed in local areas.

"Some of the theories of street fighting have not been practiced, after all, it is its own city, and it is reluctant to destroy. Besides, my opponent is also a little weak. Although Meng Xiang said so, he knew that the 109th Division was already desperate. It was only because of the large gap in strength between the two sides, and the fact that the army was not skilled in street fighting and night fighting, that it was relatively passive and suffered too large losses. Now the equipment and tactics of the vanguard army are better than those of the American army in the Pacific Campaign. It is normal to be able to eliminate more than 10,000 people in two days with more than 1,000 casualties.

"Tomorrow, we will defend the dignity of the empire and fight to the last soldier. It's time for us to be loyal to the Empire, goodbye shrine. Anan said calmly to the officers under him. After yesterday's day of attack, he has clearly realized the gap between the two sides. But he had no way out, and the 109th Division had no way out.

There was silence in the headquarters, and everyone had already been mentally prepared for this, only to listen to Anan only one person talking in a low and somewhat sad voice.

"We ......" Anan Weiji suddenly stopped, and everyone was stunned. In the distance, there was a burst of slang in the Kanazawa area, and thoughts came to my heart.

"Yaga, who's singing these tunes?" Anan couldn't help but be annoyed and said that these songs were definitely not sung in the army at this time, especially when the soldiers were to be encouraged to fight hard.

After half a ring, a staff officer who had gone out to check came back, lowered his head and whispered, "The voice is coming from the vanguard side." ”

Anan was silent for a while, and it was difficult to say that such a well-rounded voice was imitated by the vanguard army. The periphery fell quickly, and the remaining devils were also divided into three pieces, and there may also be captured soldiers, thinking and chanting.

"Embattled!" The chief of staff, Kuramo Shuzo Daisa, said suddenly, interrupting Anan Yuji's thoughts.

And the voices outside have become a call one by one.

"Taro!"

"Jiro!"

"Nobuko is waiting for you!"

"Yumiko misses you!"

Bursts of familiar country sounds came from all directions.

"Fujita-kun, the military department has abandoned us, we have no reinforcements, no ......" A familiar voice sounded, causing everyone to stir, this is the voice of a captain of the 136th Wing.

"Yaga!" Anan Weiji said angrily, "How can he betray the Empire? He should put all his family in jail! ”

He naturally didn't know that the captain he cursed had already gone to hell to see their aunt, and it was just a high-level spy specially arranged by Meng Xiang to imitate his words. Such a blow was undoubtedly a mockery and blow to his diehards, and he would later need to establish an accused force among the captives.

Anami had no choice but to order the officers to go down and motivate the soldiers to be loyal to the emperor. But once the idea of missing hometown and relatives sprouts, no matter how much you suppress it, you can't suppress it.

The vanguard army did not attack that night, but the devils who were still nervous all night listened to the radio all night and couldn't sleep all night.

On the third day, the attack of the vanguard army was not fierce, and the resistance of the devils did not seem to be so strong anymore.

After a long period of contact, the devils also understood the vanguard army's strategy of treating prisoners, except for being a little radical at the beginning, with the attention of the world, it was no longer common to kill prisoners, but through special courts. Those who committed more crimes were sentenced to heavier punishments, but the evil deeds were not obvious, and the soldiers were usually reformed through labor, and there was the possibility of seeing their relatives.

After two days of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the 109th Division were also a little tired, and thinking of the abandonment of them by the military headquarters, some people began to surrender.

This move broke the nerves of the devils, and more people gave up resistance one after another.

Although more devils are still struggling, by dusk, Taiyuan City has already fallen into the hands of the vanguard army.
