In order to strictly ensure the communication and safety between the trains, Yang Jicai put an observation post in front of the front of all trains. The front of the vehicle and the command vehicle behind it are all connected by field telephone lines. Ensure that the situation of the front of the train can be transmitted to the commander in charge of the train on each train at any time.

Walkie-talkies are used between each train, and a communication network has been established. In this way, you can ensure that as the last person to pedal the train, you can also grasp the situation of the convoy anytime and anywhere when the train is moving. Give yourself the opportunity to deal with emergencies and get the most out of them.

According to his deployment, the first column was a combat troop train that was all attached as a flatbed car, equipped with a tank, a 92 infantry gun, and two flat-firing anti-aircraft machine guns as cover fire. A battalion formed in conjunction with the two basic battalions of the Jinsui Military Region was used as a road-opening force. Once intercepted by the Japanese army, they will use firepower to cover the follow-up train and force their way through Guò.

Behind this cover train the wounded were riding, then carrying the equipment of the aircraft, and finally the order of the combat troops forced the various days of the Guò Beitongpu Railway to occupy the points, and withdrew to the Datong station to join the main force. Considering that the shape was too severe, Yang Jicai secretly ordered that all trains transporting equipment be installed with high explosives.

If I don't get it, you don't want to use this steelmaking and chemical equipment to reduce the cost of your war of aggression. And don't use these industrial equipment, which belong to the Chinese, to create weapons and ammunition for you to kill the Chinese. As soon as things really get to the point where you can't do anything, blow up all the equipment.

In fact, Yang Jicai also knew that he was not taking an ordinary risk by doing this. In normal times, this marshalling method also carries certain risks, although the train number is quite densely arranged. But as long as it is properly scheduled, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, but at the moment it is quite a risky act.

The entire Beitongpu Railway from the south of Xin County is now under the control of the Japanese army. There is no railway scheduling table, and there is no unified scheduling of the system. Just six trains are directly discharged from such a dense driving mode, it can be said that they are joking with their own lives.

If one of the trains in this huge fleet is wrecked, or if something goes wrong on the railroad, all the trains will collide together. And when a train crashes, it's not a truck. Once there is an accident on the train in front, the train behind is so close that it is too late to brake. The enormous inertia that comes with the movement of the trains can make these trains a disaster.

What's more, in order to load as much equipment as possible, Yang Jicai added almost twice as many wagons as usual for each train. Although two noses are used, one in the front and one in the rear, it undoubtedly increases the risk of driving. If something goes wrong, the damage will be devastating.

It's just that even though he knew that once there was an accident, the consequences would be very severe, but Yang Jicai had no other choice. In the area south of Pulu Xin County in the north, under the condition that the Japanese army is still under control, it is impossible for him to set out in a row without a hurry as usual, which will give the Japanese army a chance to break through.

Even though he knew it was dangerous, he could only do it. A rare train group departure is adopted, and the guò is forced to pass at the same time in a short period of time. Retreat along Beitongpu Road in the direction of Datong. Otherwise, he won't be able to ship a single part of these equipment.

Not to mention the fact that there are nearly a thousand wounded people who have been unable to evacuate from other directions, and thousands of workers and their families who were finally evacuated. On a single-track railway like the Tongpu Railway, which has a large number of bridges and tunnels, and the shape and structure are relatively complex, the train group is taken to depart, and the travel distance is so short, Yang Jicai's hand is not known, but it is unprecedented.

Fortunately, after the Japanese army occupied Shanxi, it not only changed the entire Tongpu Railway from narrow gauge to standard gauge. The original handbrake braking system has also been changed to air brake. Not only has the capacity of the railway been greatly enhanced, but the most critical safety has also been greatly enhanced. Otherwise, even if there is no accident, Yang Jicai will have to have an accident if he does this.

This is a railway that can transport thousands of tons of goods at a time, connecting more than a dozen wagons, not a single truck in a convoy. The distance of a train braking requires tens of meters, or even more. In addition, there are many tunnels and bridges on the Tongpu Railway, and an accidental collision is not a problem for a train.

But no matter what the consequences are, Yang Jicai has no heart to take care of it at this time. The most critical issue before him now is how to safely transport so many materials and equipment. Instead of thinking about the aftermath in advance in case of an accident, it is not now.

On the one hand, he arranged for his troops to pedal on time at various locations. On the one hand, he personally broke off the rear and gathered troops and personnel. Yang Jicai stood on the platform of Yinghuimen Station. Even if the Japanese artillery fire had already fallen at Yinghuimen Station, he not only waited for every unit that came over, but also told the commander in charge not to panic. You immediately lead the team to a transfer somewhere, where the train is waiting for you.

Until the first batch of withdrawals, all the troops pedaled on time. The second batch of trains transporting equipment has already started to depart north. The Japanese troops in the south of the city have begun to enter the city one after another. Yang Jicai took the guards and staff officers around him and got on the train that left Taiyuan at the end.

At the same time when Yang Jicai was nervously organizing the troops to pedal one by one, according to his deployment, the counterattack troops on the front line of Shuangtasi had taken the lead in launching a counterattack operation to cover the rapid withdrawal of other troops in the south of the city. Despite the small number of troops invested, this force fought quite stubbornly.

Under the cover of six Il-4 bombers, five British light bombers. The troops who launched a counterattack on the front line of the Shuangta Temple went through fierce fighting in the middle of the night. An infantry brigade of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army on the front line of the Shuangta Temple was driven out of the Shuangta Temple. With more than half of the casualties of the troops participating in the battle, the entire Shuangta Temple was almost flattened except for the two ancient pagodas. The troops from the old military camp in the west of the city to Nanguan were safely covered.

The troops in the west and south of the city carried the wounded and rushed to Yinghuimen at the speed of a forced march to the safety of the car. The department immediately broke away from the first line of the Shuangtasi, and under the cover of a large number of minefields deployed along the line of the Shuangtasi, it immediately withdrew to the first line of Jiaoziwan along the Tongpu railway, and after converging the defensive troops on the first line of Haojiagou, it quickly withdrew to the first line of Jianziwan to join the troops there.

And under the situation of the explosion in the city, the commander of the First Army, the commander of the 41st Division, Lieutenant General Shimizu Rule, who was worried about the glorious martyrdom under his nose, had no intention of pursuing the so-called retreating enemy for a long time. The task of the commander of the rescue army is still more important than the pursuit of the retreating enemy army.

After the 41st Division withdrew from the anti-coalition forces that counterattacked in front of it, and reoccupied the first line of Shuangtasi, an important stronghold in the south of Taiyuan City. He immediately took the lead in rushing into Taiyuan City from the Yingze Gate and Shouyi Gate in Nanguan, trying to rescue the headquarters of the First Army in dire straits.

However, the 41st Division, which was in a hurry to enter the city, was on the front line of Shouyi Gate and Yingze Gate at the south gate of Taiyuan, and suddenly encountered intensive artillery fire from the eastern city wall. Just when the Japanese troops who were bombed and turned their heads turned to urgently retreat to the city gate to avoid artillery fire. At the same time, there was a violent explosion at the two city gates.

The 41st Division, which was in a hurry to enter the city without any defense, suffered heavy casualties in this period of shelling and violent explosions. The first four infantry squadrons that tried to enter the city were almost non-surviving in the attack of artillery fire and explosives bursting in the middle.

Even those who survived the shelling and heavy explosions were buried in the rubble like a hill. The follow-up troops of the 41st Division were also completely blown into the ruins of the two city gates, which were almost as high as a hill and bricks and rubble, blocking the perimeter of the south pass of the city gate.

Before the 41 st Division could recover from the violent explosion, the four anti-United Nations Il-4 bombers, which had been hovering in the sky, dropped 16 high-explosive napalm bombs from north to south in a dive position. The troops of the entire 41st Division in the south of the city directly lost the ability to continue fighting under the attack of this period.

The troops of the 41st Division, which was eager to save the troops, lost their combat effectiveness by Yang Jicai's two hands. Not to mention chasing the evacuated anti-United Nations troops, they just want to carry out their first goal and go into the city to rescue them, and they are powerless at this moment, with heavy casualties.

On the contrary, the 41st Division in the west of the city was delayed for a great deal of time because it was necessary to clear the minefield left behind by the withdrawal of the troops of the Jinsui Military Region on the east bank of the river. After receiving a report of encounters from friendly and neighboring troops at the division headquarters, after careful inspection, it dismantled and planted explosives at the two gates of the west city wall of the Anti-Japanese Union, and became the first unit to enter the urban area of Taiyuan.

In fact, Yang Jicai's two gates on the west city wall did not have much explosives at all. Only ten catties of yellow explosives were placed at a city gate, which was mainly intended to bluff, slow down the advance of the Japanese army, and buy time for their troops to retreat. As for the other explosives planted behind the excavated bricks, they were disguised in sacks with loess. Only the outermost and most conspicuous places at the bottom are more than a dozen explosive packets.

Although he had a large amount of explosives seized in several coal mines around Taiyuan City and the warehouses of the Japanese army in the city, there were so many places that needed to be blasted, how could he have so many resources to put a large number of explosives on several city gates? Moreover, the advance speed of the Japanese army at each city gate is different, and this tactic can only be used once, and it is Lang Fei to use it too much.

Startling the snake, since the cunning snake has been frightened, it will not be fooled again. In the arrangement, he mainly deployed a large number of explosives on the southern city wall, which was used to blast when necessary, delay the advance of the Japanese army, and cover the withdrawal of troops in and around the city.

As for other directions, most of them are used to scare. Taking advantage of the psychological effect of the southern gate garrison being the first to evacuate, the 41st Division of the Japanese Army on the southern front was bound to be the first to enter the city, so that the Japanese troops on other sides would slow down the pursuit speed because of the encounter of the 41st Division when they were pursuing.

It was for this reason that he adopted this approach at the South Gate. Except for the south gate, other directions, he also means, meaning. Even the eastern city wall, he also adopted this method of fiction and reality to scare the Japanese army. Let them have some scruples in their actions.

Although some were also placed on the west wall, the main purpose was to scare the Japanese army. As for the north city wall, he didn't put a pound of explosives at all. In the north, he planted all the explosives outside the northern city wall, which had been demolished by this time. In terms of the four city gates, the focus is on the southern city wall, which has no natural hazards to rely on.

The two gates of Shouyi Gate and Yingze Gate in the south city wall of Taiyuan, especially the large-scale Shouyi Gate, together with the urn city, almost all the remaining explosives were buried here. Electric power plants were erected along the southern city wall of Taiyuan, and electric detonators made by the Anti-Union were placed. When the Japanese army entered the city, it was detonated directly from the east gate.
