Originally, according to Yang Jicai's plan, if he was on the front line of Gujiao, he would be discovered by the Japanese army. Then he seized the Baijiazhuang coal mine first, and used the timber there to build a bridge to support the tunnel, and quickly erected a temporary bridge for tanks to pass. The total weight of the Crusader cruiser tanks was not very heavy. The supporting timber required for the coal mine is enough to erect a temporary bridge.

As for the 200 trucks, except for the artillery tractors, the rest can only be placed on the West Bank first. But Yang Jicai didn't expect that he would take the Fenhe Bridge at the throat of the west of Taiyuan City so lightly, opening the road leading directly to Taiyuan City. In that case, why should he be polite?

This obviously a little clever but mistaken by the clever Yoshimoto Zhenyi didn't know that Yang Jicai, who had already smashed the Yinghui Gate open with a tank at this moment, did not really want to take Taiyuan City. What are you kidding, even if you add the troops of the Jinsui Military Region who participated in the war, the forces in his hands are not enough to completely control Taiyuan. Even a Japanese counterattack was difficult to resist.

If Chen Hanzhang's roundabout actions in Datong are interspersed, it is a hornet's nest. Then his own action is equivalent to inserting a knife in the heart of the Japanese army. The Japanese army will not give themselves much time to slowly disassemble the equipment they need. All you can do is try your best to buy time.

Yang Jicai broke through the Yinghui Gate, but did not adopt the siege tactics of multi-way infiltration attacks that the Anti-Union was accustomed to. In addition to dividing the troops to attack the prisoner of war camp in the northeast corner of Taiyuan, the main force adopted the tactics of squeezing on both sides after clearing the Japanese puppet army on the city wall. The Japanese troops in the city were squeezed little by little towards the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

His strategic intention was obvious, which was to keep Sadachi Yoshimoto and his First Army Headquarters as a hostage. As long as Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi was still in Taiyuan City, even if the Japanese reinforcements arrived quickly, they would not dare to make too big a move. There was a lieutenant general and commander as a hostage, and the Japanese army was taboo in its actions.

Squeezing the Japanese army into the vicinity of the First Army Headquarters one by one, trapping them in the First Army Headquarters and its surroundings, and using them as hostages in disguise, can undoubtedly reduce their own pressure. At least let the reinforcements of the Japanese counterattack not put too much pressure on themselves.

However, the number of Japanese troops in the city must also be given the maximum damage. Otherwise, it would not be a stable thing to keep so many Japanese troops in their own depths. Once the Japanese army should join forces with the outside, then they will be attacked from both sides, which is not conducive to holding out in Taiyuan City for too long.

In the operation in Taiyuan City, Yang Jicai adopted the tactics of first rushing and then stabilizing. In the street battle, a tank was used to penetrate directly into the headquarters of the First Army, forcing the Japanese troops from other directions in the city to quickly return to help. Then, little by little, all the Japanese troops were squeezed around the headquarters of the First Army. And divide a considerable part of the Japanese army from its main force.

Yang Jicai focused his attack on the Japanese troops in the city. As for the puppet army to disarm and surrender within a limited time, if there are those who refuse to surrender, they will be resolutely eliminated. Although the puppet Xingya Yellow Army relied on the majority of troops, under the command of Japanese advisers, tried to resist stubbornly. However, under the combined fire of tanks and infantry, its resistance did not last long.

As for the rescue operation in the prisoner-of-war camp, it went very smoothly. The Taiyuan prisoner of war camp is just under the city wall of Taiyuan Xiaodongmen, and it can be said that it is close to Yinghui Gate. After rushing into Taiyuan City from Yinghui Gate, Yang Jicai immediately used a force to forcibly penetrate the Xiaodongmen with a force, under the personal command of Su Yingqi and under the guidance of the underground party in the city.

And the Japanese army, which was in chaos at the moment, had long been unable to take care of the prisoner of war camp. The guarding force of the prisoner of war camp is dominated by puppet soldiers. With the cooperation of the party organization under the concentration camp, the structural map and the distribution of guards in the entire concentration camp have long been in the hands of Su Yingqi.

However, some fears that the Japanese army would slaughter the prisoners of war under unfavorable circumstances, when they arrived at the periphery of the prisoner of war camp, Su Yingqi came up and directly mobilized tanks, and after hitting a few gaps in the wall of the prisoner of war camp, he immediately put a reconnaissance company into the rescue operation. The tanks used accurate direct fire to destroy the Japanese puppet military fortifications in the prisoner of war camp to cover the rescue operation.

Fortunately, I was worried about contracting infectious diseases, or getting fleas or lice on my body. All the Japanese puppet army guards were concentrated in the front yard. And the sound of gunfire inside and outside the Yinghui Gate also attracted most of the attention of these guards. Su Yingqi's rescue operation did not encounter too many difficulties.

The two squadrons of puppet troops in charge of guarding cleanly surrendered after the tank smashed through the fence and knocked down the power grid, and solved the demonstration of the two watchtowers with two guns. The Japanese squad trapped in the barracks and trying to resist was transferred by Su Yingqi, who was in charge of the rescue, to bring up two flamethrowers and directly make a barbecue.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who were desperately struggling in the fire and making miserable screams. The few Japanese soldiers who tried to rush out and escape were knocked out head-on by the dense tank and machine-gun fire as soon as they left the barracks. Those puppet soldiers who laid down their weapons were not only frightened, but also shouted luck in their hearts. If you are slow to lay down your weapons, these things may fall on your head.

After dealing with the defenders, Su Yingqi commanded the troops to immediately rescue the prisoners of war. After storming the prisoner of war camp, Su Yingqi was stunned to find that the number of prisoners in the prisoner of war camp far exceeded the judgment. Nearly 20,000 prisoners of war were held in the entire prisoner of war camp. The size of the entire prisoner of war camp also exceeded the expected judgment.

After contacting the captured supply section chief of the 8th Jinsui Subdivision and the head of the party group under the prisoner of war camp, Su Yingqi learned that before the launch of this campaign, the 41st Division of the Japanese army stationed in Linfen fought a battle with the Jinsui army in the southwest of Shanxi because of grain grabbing, and captured thousands of officers and soldiers of the Jinsui army.

After the Datong direction began, the Japanese army feared a rebellion by special workers composed of captured personnel in some coal mines in Shanxi and in factories around Taiyuan. When the guards were understaffed, they were all taken back to the prisoner-of-war camp and placed under centralized custody.

Among them, the number of troops of the First War Zone who were captured in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain last year alone reached several thousand. After these people were transported back to the Taiyuan concentration camp, the proportion of prisoners of the 18th Group Army inside dropped a lot. The Japanese army originally planned to send them to the Japanese-occupied areas in Nanyang to work as laborers once and for all after the end of the war.

In order to accommodate the number of prisoners of war, the Japanese army not only stuffed the prisoners of war camps with prisoners of war that exceeded the standard, but also forcibly recruited the houses of some surrounding families and connected them with a fence and an electrified barbed wire. In the absence of sufficient houses, only a few straw huts were built as shelters for prisoners of war.

As for the lives and deaths of prisoners of war in the camps, which are far beyond the capacity to accommodate them, whether there will be a large-scale epidemic of infectious diseases. Whether or not many of the prisoners of war who were captured before last winter and who did not even have cotton clothes survived was not something that the Japanese army considered. For them, it didn't matter whether the prisoners lived or died. In any case, most of the prisoners of war were rescued safely.

In the face of the number of rescued prisoners of war far exceeded expectations, Su Yingqi was somewhat caught off guard. In particular, there are more than 300 female prisoners of war who were captured during last year's sweep, and among the more than 300 female prisoners who were captured, in addition to more than 50 female students of Kang University who were separated and captured during the breakout, dozens of female staff members from all over the country who were captured. Most of them were women who had been arrested in a daze, or were schoolgirls who were considered to be eight roads because they had cut their hair short.

These prisoners of war had already guessed that their own troops were fighting when they heard the sound of gunfire in the east of the city. It's just that no one knows whose troops are fighting, and they don't act on their own. When the troops under the command of Su Yingqi rushed into the prisoner of war camp, they saw the German-style steel helmet on the head of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and at first they thought that the Central Army had fought it, and those prisoners of war from Chongqing were obviously much more excited.

It was not until the captured personnel of the Jinsui Eighth Division saw the staff of the Jinsui Eighth Division who came in with them, as well as the badges of the Anti-Japanese Federation on the chests of the rescuers, that the morale of the captured personnel of the Eighth Route Army was obviously much higher. These long-suffering captives were naturally greatly boosted when they saw their own troops.

Faced with the number of prisoners of war exceeding the judgment, Su Yingqi could only use the small amount of food stored in the prisoner of war camp to boil some porridge for these prisoners of war who were mostly very weak to replenish their physical fitness. Then the prisoners of war of the Eighth Route Army were selected and armed with the captured puppet weapons, and they were responsible for guarding the puppet army that surrendered.

As for the captured personnel of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, they were all transported outside the city by truck. The officers of the captured personnel of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army were gathered together and handed over to the personnel of the Eighth Divisional Political Department and the Enemy Engineering Department who rushed in with them. After returning to the base area, it will be returned to the second theater of operations. The ordinary soldiers among the prisoners of war were mobilized by him to participate in the super-large-scale demolition of the Taiyuan factory.

There was no way for the troops to fight, and it was impossible to participate in this large-scale demolition operation. As for the common people in the city, except for some of the people who were determined to evacuate with them. Most of the residents were worried about the subsequent retaliation of the Japanese army, and they were reluctant to participate in the merger with no amount of money. The mobilized workers, on the other hand, are simply not enough. Although these prisoners of war are a little weaker, they are better than no one at all.

And those female prisoners of war, under the order of Yang Jicai, were sent away by Su Yingqi by mobilizing ten trucks alone. The experience of this captivity, for these female prisoners of war, may be a brand that will never be left out in their lives. Sending them away first would have prevented these female prisoners of war from doing anything extreme. As for the screening, let's wait until we return to the base area.

The rescue of the prisoners of war was completed smoothly, but it was only a small tidbit in the battle. It didn't make Yang Jicai breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, because for him, this was just one of the roundabout tasks. The real difficulties had only just begun after occupying most of Taiyuan City.
