Taiyuan.

Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.

Early one morning in mid-June.

"New equipment, night vision devices, no wonder..."

Looking at the telegram passed by Yamamoto in his hand, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was dressed in a military uniform, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who had been promoted to general, had a particularly calm expression, and even kept his usual smile on the corner of his mouth.

The independent regiment has come out with new weapons and equipment.

Isn't that weird?

Not surprising at all.

"Reduce night reconnaissance and suspend all night raids."

He ordered, as calmly as ever.

At the same time that Yangquan has been occupied, Niangziguan Train, Yuxian, Jingcheng and so on have also been broken through by the Eighth Route Army at the same time, and even Houlu has been broken through by a group of Eight Roads.

During this period, the imperial army had more than 50,000 jade pieces.

Shijiazhuang Eighth Road did not seem to be interested, and only sent a few thousand people to garrison the surrounding area, and now the Eighth Road has more than 100,000 troops gathered outside Taiyuan City.

Like a cat and a mouse, the Eighth Route did not seem to be in a hurry to launch a general attack, but surrounded Taiyuan layer by layer, building positions and stockpiling supplies, but the skirmishes between the two sides never stopped.

Battles were predominantly at night.

At first, the imperial army could barely open five or five, but gradually, the effect of the night attack became worse and worse, and more and more troops never came back as soon as they went out.

Seeing Yamamoto's telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka finally understood the reason.

"Hey."

The staff officer also calmly conveyed Yoshio Shinozuka's order.

"Contact the country."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued:

"Contact allies as soon as possible to investigate the principles and shortcomings of this technical equipment."

"Hey."

The staff officer continued to bow his head.

Subsequently, Yoshio Shinozuka straightened up his general's uniform and walked outside the city of Taiyuan.

······

Heyuan County.

Separate regiment airfield.

As the first airport to be built, although it was not very long, construction began in early February, and it has only been four months now, but the scale of the airport has changed dramatically.

location.

From the former industrial area, the artillery shell production line, the fertilizer plant was relocated to a location on the edge of Ha Yuan County, near Shou County, and the original airport was divided into a factory area to house the upcoming new factory.

structurally.

Add a large concrete warehouse, close a large general hangar, widen and lengthen the airport, and strengthen the foundation.

The construction brigade organized 70,000 people to build this airport, and used a large number of machinery and equipment.

With the support of huge manpower and materials, the construction of the airport was completed by the end of May.

Quantitative change to qualitative change.

The original Heyuan County Airport has also been turned into an independent air base.

Beginning in June, the flight units were relocated one after another.

At this time, the independent airbase was fully operational.

On the runway, with the hurricane blowing out of the propellers, one after another planes loaded with bombs flew up, and after selecting formations in the sky, they flew towards Taiyuan.

Outside the warehouse, the ground staff were like ants, pushing bombs and driving fuel trucks full of fuel to the tarmac.

In the distance of the airport, planes visible to the naked eye flew from the direction of Taiyuan and began to prepare for landing.

Like a swarm of bees.

"Over."

On the tarmac, Huang Quan was doing the final inspection before takeoff, and after the inspection, he heard the sound of the ground staff outside, and saw the gesture of the ground staff representative. He responded with a gesture and gave a confident smile afterward.

After that he started the plane.

Qiang Qiang Qiang ····

With the sound of engines and propellers, the 'bomb truck' under his seat flew into the sky.

Circled in the sky a few times, formed a formation with five planes, and then flew towards Taiyuan together.

Unlike other formation planes that were full of bombs and eager to hang bomb racks, these six planes had only one long bomb under the belly.

······

Outside the city of Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood on the city wall, with his hands behind his back, looking down on the entire Taiyuan City.

Looking at the Taiyuan City in front of him, the Taiyuan City where he led the First Army to be stationed for more than five years, the city he dominated for four years, (retired for one year) Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes flashed a trace of loneliness.

Looking back at those years, what a beautiful scenery the First Army was.

At that time, a brigade of the imperial army, not half of the brigade could rampage through Shanxi, entering and exiting like no man's land.

At that time, Shanxi was the world of the imperial army.

Everything has changed since Li Yunlong killed Bantian, more precisely, after that Chen Fan came.

The Sakata Wing was heavily damaged, the Yamazaki Brigade was completely annihilated, the Taiyuan Airport was continuously bombarded, the artillery towers were uprooted, the imperial army was wiped out, and Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army also became stronger all the way.

Catch up with the Imperial Army, catch up with the Imperial Army, and eventually overtake the Imperial Army, far beyond the Imperial Army.

Until now.

The first army was left with only Taiyuan City and the surrounding 50,000 troops, and the rest were wiped out by the Eighth Road. Even in the whole of Shanxi, there is only Taiyuan and the surrounding area.

And this bit of territory won't last long.

In Shinozuka Yoshio's field of vision, he could see clearly that the position outside Taiyuan City was already full of holes and tatters, which was caused by waves of bombardment and rounds of shelling by the Independent Regiment.

Just when Yoshio Shinozuka sighed, a new round of attack aircraft arrived.

First there was a shrill whistling, followed by a violent explosion, and he saw planes flying from the direction of the Independent Regiment and dropping bombs on the positions around Taiyuan.

Dense like locusts.

Bombshells rained down, explosions rose like tsunamis on the positions around Taiyuan, the city walls were blown down, and the positions were lifted.

The power of a 200-kilogram bomb is beyond the reach of a mere civil bunker.

Every time there was an interval in the attack group, thousands of independent regimental artillery would open fire, not giving the devils the slightest respite.

"General."

Seeing this scene, the accompanying guards couldn't help but urge.

They are a city wall here, and if the enemy fires here, it will be over, and General Yoshimoto will die under the fire of the independent regiment.

"Let's go."

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled slightly, and followed the guards to the underground command post in a calm tone.

After providing a large amount of fuel and food to the country, his voice has also risen steadily, and he has obtained a large amount of supplies. Even the navy was reconciled with fuel and the emperor's personal fate, and gave the army some resources in exchange for heavy fuel.

Although the resources given to the First Army were far less than 100,000 people, they were more than enough to supply one division and regiment when concentrated.

With sufficient supplies, he began to strengthen the defenses of Taiyuan City, build strong fortifications, and build concrete fortresses.

At present, there is an elite division in Taiyuan City, and it is completely configured according to the equipment of the A division, and the ammunition and materials in reserve are enough for 50,000 people to consume for more than three months.

Although the lack of heavy artillery, the lack of anti-aircraft weapons, and the enemy can only be allowed to bombard indiscriminately, but this does not matter.

As long as Li Yunlong can't solve the four concrete fortifications with a thickness of up to three meters in the four corners of Taiyuan City, it doesn't matter.

This will be the meat grinder of the eight roads.

Li Yunlong will regret that for him, not a single prisoner will accept the order of the imperial army to surrender.

Just as Yoshio Shinozuka was walking towards the underground command post, the six bombers led by Huang Quan had already arrived in the sky outside Taiyuan City.
