Chapter 202: Heavy Siege

Dingtian Novel Ju.dtxsj." Hearing you say this, it seems that this is really the case, no wonder since the Red Party Army and the Imperial Army fought, the Imperial Army has been passive everywhere, could it be that they have captured the Imperial Army's codebook? Kazuki Kiyoji thought about it and felt justified, and in addition to being surprised, the fear of the Red Party army subsided a little. Ella Book House.26book.

"Probably, but I suspect more that they deciphered the codes used by our army, because they knew everything about our army's movements from the beginning." , Itagaki Seishiro said in a deep voice.

"How is this possible? Just rely on their backwardness", Kazuki Kiyoji said this, suddenly realizing that the equipment of the 15th Army was even above the Japanese army, and he believed Itagaki guess a little, and immediately said urgently, "This is not good, I will immediately send a report to General Terauchi Shouichi!" ”

Itagaki Seishiro hurriedly dissuaded, "No, if the telegram is sent now, the enemy will definitely know that they have deciphered our army's telegram and we will not trust our telegram so much from now on, then their defense will definitely be tighter, and it will be difficult for us people to break out of the encirclement." ”

"And if you don't come and go, the people of China have caused such a big loss to the Imperial Army by deciphering our telegram, how can we just forget it, as long as the enemy still thinks that we don't know about the leakage of the code, they will continue to believe the information revealed in our telegram, we just need to make good use of this", a cold light flashed in Itagaki's eyes, and he said hatefully,

"The future of the empire will be entrusted to you in the future, and on the day when the imperial army conquers China, please don't forget to tell us at the Yasukuni Shrine. May you all have a long martial arts! Kazuki Kiyoji bowed to the more than 3,000 people who were selected to leave, and said with tears in his eyes.

More than 3,000 people solemnly saluted Xiangyue Qingji, and then left Taiyuan City in the night without saying a word. At noon the next day, the main force of the 17th Division of the 15th Army was the first to arrive at the city of Taiyuan, and then the 42nd Division, four divisions of the Eighth Route Army and the main force of the 32nd Army (Shang Zhen also followed, otherwise Hu Lian could not command the troops of the 32nd Army. They all arrived one after another. In order to avoid the credit being snatched away by the Red Party, the defeated Jinnan also took out all his family resources and reluctantly cobbled together an army of 150,000. The mighty slaughter reached the west of Taiyuan City, and the independent brigade that had stayed in the Central Plains border area entered Zhongtiao Mountain to take over the defense, so that more than 30,000 people of Fang Xianjue's army, which had been greatly strengthened, left Zhongtiao Mountain to participate in the Second Battle of Taiyuan.

So far. The total strength of the squadron besieging Taiyuan reached more than 400,000 people, more than eight times the total strength of the Japanese army in Taiyuan. But at the same time, Tianjin's forces increased rapidly and began to advance steadily westward, and Hu Weidong's 94th Division, which was stationed in Zhangjiakou, was under the same pressure as a division of the 32nd Army, and the victory or defeat of the war depended on which spear broke the opponent's shield first

Due to the small number of artillery shells left and the threat of Chinese aircraft, the Japanese heavy artillery did not dare to shell continuously as before, but learned the fighting methods of the artillery of the 15th Army in the past, and broke up the artillery group to fight separately. Heavy artillery pieces are usually hidden, and when they see valuable targets, they pull them out and fire a few shots, or even just a shot, and then immediately move away. Although the deterrent effect of this style of play is much smaller, because of the superb jishu and serious attitude of the Japanese artillery, the actual lethality is very large. The 17th Division of the 15th Army, which was responsible for the main attack, failed to attack three times in a row, and sacrificed thousands of comrades in just one day. Although some Zhangjiakou has been captured, if you use artillery to attack, you will have to shell continuously for half an hour, and you can use up all the shell reserves in one or two times, and the arsenal's current artillery production capacity has not yet come up, if there is no artillery shell reserves, our army will not be able to fight a major battle in the next half a year"...,

"But the chairman gave a death order, requiring us to take Taiyuan before the Kuomintang army, this is a political task!" , Liu Bocheng, commander of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, frowned and said, he also does not want to see too many casualties, but the military must be subordinated to politics.

At this time, Xu Xiangqian, the commander of the 125th Division, who had always been silent, suddenly said, "I have an idea, maybe I can save some shells"

At dawn the next day, more than 100 heavy artillery pieces that had been silent after being dragged to Taiyuan were once again powerful, which was almost equivalent to the powerful strategic artillery of the entire two field heavy artillery brigades of Japan, and the fortification group that the Japanese army had built in the northwest of Taiyuan City was wiped out in the face of such a terrible artillery bombardment, and under the patrol of one hundred and dozens of planes of the 15th Army Flying Regiment, although the Japanese army had a larger number of heavy artillery, they did not dare to come forward and fight back, and the 15th Army Chapter 202 fought bravely into the city with the support of artillery fire. Kazuki Kiyoji hurriedly sent additional troops over to stop them. However, at this time, the 125th Division of the Eighth Route Army first pretended to send sappers to blast the city wall to divert the attention of the defenders, but the real killing move was the hundreds of "unconscionable guns" that had never been seen by the Japanese army in the initial trench more than 100 meters later

But although Seiji Kazuki called himself "incompetent" to Seishiro Itagaki , how could he be an ordinary person if he was able to become the commander of a single army in the Japanese army? In the face of the "straight-line wall demolition siege method" that had gradually become popular among the Red Party army, he came up with a way to solve it, ambushing the machine gunners in the dead corners of the walls that were not easy to collapse and shrapnel broken bricks, and as soon as the enemy blasted the wall open, he immediately strafed out from the breach, causing great losses to the squadron. Fortunately, the most suitable for this type of play is actually a submachine gun, but the devil is basically not very equipped, so he can only use a machine gun instead, otherwise the threat to the red party army will be greater. But even so, the 50,000 Japanese troops fought desperately, and there were street fighting tactics that restrained the squadron's fighting style, after all, it still created great difficulties for the besieging troops.

At this time, 150,000 were worried that the first merit would be robbed, and they also launched an attack from the southwest corner of Taiyuan City, but there was no mobile force at hand to use Xiangyue Qingji actually sent out tens of thousands of horses and horses of the artillery unit to be used as infantry. In the face of such a ferocious momentum, the morale of Xinkou has not fully recovered after the defeat and still failed to enter the city after all (your support on this site is my biggest motivation.)
