"Equipped with the M1A1 75mm caliber mountain cannon."

"The range of this mountain cannon is further than that of the 41 mountain cannon."

"The range of the 1992 Infantry Cannon cannot be compared with that."

"So, the Imperial Army cannot only consider the shooting territory when building artillery positions."

"But priority should be given to survival and how to survive from the artillery fire of the Chinese army."

"Also, it is extremely unwise to deploy the main forces in open areas and city walls outside the city."

"Because the firepower of the Chinese army is not much worse than that of the Imperial Army, deploying troops on the open areas outside the city and on the city walls will inevitably be killed and injured by the Chinese army's artillery fire."

"So, where should the troops be deployed?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked back, "Deployed in the city?"

"Yes, only a small number of troops are deployed on the periphery and on the city walls." Takaichi Sakamoto, "and then use the advantages of the inside line to adopt a mobile defense strategy, concentrate the absolute superior troops and firepower to carry out street fighting with the Chinese army, and strive to kill and injure the Chinese army in a large number of live forces in street fighting."

...

The main force of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army's only brigade has arrived outside Gongji Gate, Taiyuan.

But Chu Yunfei did not rush to follow up, but stayed on the position of the mountain cannon camp.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei was measuring the distance through the artillery mirror. After the measurement, he said: "The distance is slightly more than six kilometers, which is just right. Our M1A1 type 75mm caliber mountain cannon is enough to cover the entire Taiyuan, but the Japanese mountain cannons, infantry cannons and mortars cannot hit our artillery positions."

"But, you must dora's disguise net."

"Tell your brothers, don't be afraid of hard work."

“The more disguise nets are pulled, the safer it is.”

"If the Japanese bombers come, they can't even get out of the way."

With Chu Yunfei's orders, one camouflage net after another was unfolded one after another.

One artillery battalion had twelve cannons, but more than one hundred camouflage nets were pulled out. The distance between the two adjacent camouflage nets was at least 100 meters, and the arrangement was irregular.

...

On the Taiyuan Gongjimen City Tower.

Yoshio Iwamatsu finally adopted Takaichi Sakamoto's suggestion.

"Order." Yoshio Iwamatsu said in a deep voice, "The army outside the city retreated immediately, and all mountain cannons, infantry cannons and rapid-fire cannons will immediately enter the houses in the city to hide, and then dig a shooting hole at the base of the wall."

Good guy, this is to use mountain cannons and infantry cannons as flat-fire cannons.

But in fact, the effect of using mountain cannons and infantry cannons as flat-fired cannons in urban street fighting is actually better. This has been fully proved from the Battle of Shanghai. However, the Marines of the Japanese Navy were fighting at that time, so the Japanese Army neither recognized nor promoted it out of contempt.

Of course, it is mainly because the Japanese army never fought a city defense war after the Battle of Shanghai, so the Marine Corps' defense experience was useless.

But now, this set of defensive experience has finally been picked up.

But Takaichi Sakamoto was not finished yet, and said: "Commander, the defense experience of the Marine Corps is effective in the Battle of Shanghai, but may not be effective in the Battle of Taiyuan, because the commanders of the Chinese army are also constantly improving, especially the commanders of the Chinese army in northwest Shanxi, with outstanding tactical command capabilities."

"So, no one knows how many days we can stay in Taiyuan."

"So what we need to do next is to order Anhua, Yangquan and Lu'an Prefecture, which are closest to, to send troops back to the rescue urgently. This is not safe, because it will definitely be blocked by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, in addition to Anhua, Yangquan and Lu'an, at least one division on the Datong or Zhongtiaoshan frontline should be ordered to return to the rescue!"

But Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't listen this time: "Is it necessary to mobilize the troops like this?"

Hua Gu was sneering and said, "Your Excellency Commander, there is no need for this."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said in a deep voice: "The several divisions on the Zhongtiaoshan Front must not be transferred back. The troops of Anhua, Lu'an and Yangquan are also responsible for the arduous task of rectifying public security and cannot be easily moved. Moreover, I will never think that a mere ten thousand troops can threaten the city guarded by three thousand imperial troops."

Takaichi Sakamoto sighed and said nothing more.

You always have to go through the beaten realities before you believe it.

...

Anhua, headquarters of the Second Guard Division.

"Second Commander." Shibuya Ichiro walked back to the war room quickly and said in a deep voice, "The headquarters telegram, the china army heading south is real, and the china army left in northwest Shanxi is just a cover."

Miyano Daoyi looked stern and asked, "Has it been verified?"

"Yes." Shibuya Ichiro said, "the headquarters has verified it."

"Baga." Miyano Doichi's face collapsed instantly, "These Chinese troops are really cunning."

Shibuya Ichiro said with a dark face: "Second Commander, since the Chinese army left in northwest Shanxi is a cover, should we attack? Eliminate the fake targets of Malan Town and Maoliling?"

"It's useless, they will run away." Miyano said helplessly.

After a pause, Miyano Daoyi said again: "And we must also pay close attention to the war situation in Taiyuan. Once there is danger in Taiyuan, we must send troops south to rescue immediately, so we must not attack easily, so as not to prevent us from sending the troops out, but there is a sudden danger in Taiyuan. At that time, we even want to save the troops but have no soldiers to send."

"Hai." Shibuya Ichiro said, "The division commander Mingjian."

...

The position outside the Gongji Gate in Taiyuan.

Seeing Chu Yunfei bringing Sun Ming over, the soldiers of the Jinsui army who were sitting on the ground stood up and saluted.

Fang Ligong quickly came forward and asked, "The brigades, all regiments have built attack positions. Should we let the third regiment launch a tentative attack first? Try the Japanese firepower?"

"No hurry." Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Brothers have been traveling all night and have not had breakfast yet. Let the brothers have breakfast first."

He paused and said, "Today's breakfast must have meat!"

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui army around him immediately cheered.

After receiving the news, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army in the distance cheered.

Chu Yunfei's words were orders, and the chef who received the order immediately took action.

It is absolutely impossible to carry meat with the army, and it is impossible to jerk. The usual standard of food for the Jinsui Army is three meals a day, one meal is dry, two meals thin, and a plate of pickles. There is no need to think about meat.

Even if it is fixed during wartime, it is only changed to two meals a day.

So Chu Yunfei said that breakfast must have meat, so that the officials and soldiers of Jinsui would be so happy.

What should I do if I don’t have meat? The chefs of the Jinsui Army immediately targeted the people outside the city. The chefs of the Jinsui Army would not have any mercy to these people around Taiyuan who were forced to be helpless as the Japanese and obeying the people.

"Your pig has been requisitioned by our Shanxi Sui Army's only brigade."

"Your donkey has also been requisitioned, and it is taken at a total market price of 20 yuan."

"The boss can't do it, the boss can't do it. Now the fiat currency is almost waste paper. It's impossible to buy twenty fiat currency even a donkey head."

"Old man, then we have to say."

"How much food have you collected for the Japanese over the years?"

"You are a tyrant and a traitor, do you know?"

"You donate pigs and donkeys to the army, and you are atonement."

Looking at the pig and donkey taken away by the chef, the good people were in tears.

Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life these days?

After an hour, breakfast was ready, and more than 10,000 officers and soldiers from the Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army ate hot white flour steamed buns and fragrant boiled meat.

Sun Ming brought two big steamed buns for Chu Yunfei and served a large lunch box of boiled meat.
