Chapter 274: Urgent and Difficult (900 Tears for a Monthly Pass)
In the blink of an eye, time comes to evening.
The attacks of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment on Taiyuan Dadongmen, Xiaodongmen, Yingzemen and Chengenmen were not smooth. The two regiments organized many attacks, but were all attacked by the puppet troops.
Not only did he fail to break through the city defense, he also sacrificed more than 100 people.
This time, the 8th mixed brigade of the puppet army seemed to have eaten the thallium and was much more tenacious than before.
When I encountered the Eighth Route Army in the past, as long as the situation was slightly wrong, the puppet army would immediately put down their weapons and surrender.
Moreover, even if they fired, most of them only targeted the space or simply fired guns in the sky. But this time, the 8th mixed brigade of the puppet army was really attacked.
And they fought tenaciously.
However, the Independent Regiment has remained unmoved.
When the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment organized an attack, the Independent Regiment never committed the infantry to launch an attack, but simply used artillery to aim at a section of the city wall behind Xihaizi and bombarded it indiscriminately.
...
On the city tower of Shuiximen.
Wan Yong, Ge Fugui and Pan Ren were hiding behind the pile and peeking.
Pan Ren asked in confusion: "Brother, what are the Eighth Route Army doing?"
"Idiot, can't you even see this?" Wan Yong said angrily, "The Eighth Route Army obviously wanted to open a gap in the city wall through artillery and then attack the city from the gap!"
Pan Ren immediately rolled his eyes at Wan Yong.
A young man, a person who is a soft-hearted person, I didn't ask you again.
Wan Yong turned his head and said to Ge Fugui: "Company Commander Ge, according to this method, the city wall in Xihaizi will last until midnight today. When the city wall collapses, someone will have to block the gap."
"This difficult task will be handed over to your 3rd Company."
"Why?" Pan Ren immediately became anxious, "Why is it our 3rd company?"
"Just because I am the battalion commander! That's it!" Wan Yong snorted and left.
Watching Wan Yong's figure go away, Pan Ren's eyes flashed with a fierce light and said in a deep voice: "Brother, how are you a dog?"
"Shut up, you know how to do it." Ge Fugui said angrily, "Do you want to kill your mother, and your sister-in-law and Jiuer?"
Pan Ren's face immediately collapsed.
Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, has lost his conscience.
The families of many officers from their 8th Mixed Brigade were captured.
For this reason, the two battalions of Cheng'en Gate guarding the east gates and Yingze Gate worked so hard. If they had to put them aside, they would have surrendered long ago.
...
In the evening, Li Yunlong rushed to the position of the artillery company in anger.
"Pillar!" Li Yunlong roared as soon as he came up, "What are you doing for?"
"It's just a piece of city wall that I've been hit for a long time but haven't collapsed. Are you a damn good at it?"
"Captain!" Yu Chengzhu came forward and said with a sad face, "The Japanese poured dust into that section of the city wall, so it was harder to beat than I had expected."
Li Yunlong said: "16 mountain cannons, rapid-fire cannons are not enough?"
Yu Chengzhu said: "Captain, this is not a matter of more guns and fewer guns. If we could have a 300mm flat-fire cannon, one shell could penetrate the city wall! But we only have 37mm flat-fire cannon now."
Li Yunlong said: "Damn it, aren't there 11 75 mountain cannons?"
"Mountain cannons are not flat-fired cannons." Yu Chengzhu said, "The types of shells are different."
"The shells of the mountain cannon explode and hit people is very good, but the effect of hitting the city wall is very limited. The thickness of the Taiyuan city wall must be more than 10 meters, and the grenade cannot be penetrated at all."
"The 37mm kinetic energy bullet caliber is too small, so it can't be penetrated."
"So you can only peel onions layer by layer."
Li Yunlong said: "Peeling layer by layer? When will it take to peel it?"
Yu Chengzhu calculated silently for a moment in his heart and said, "Captain, give me another 8 hours, and it's time to go!"
Li Yunlong said: "Okay, I will give you another 8 hours, no, I will give you another 10 hours. You must peel off the city wall before dawn tomorrow, otherwise I will kill you."
"Yes!" Yu Chengzhu stood at attention and said loudly, "Don't worry, the artillery battalion guarantees the completion of the mission!"
"Hmph!" Li Yunlong groaned, turned around and left, and asked the guard Niu Dan, while walking, "Niu Dan, hasn't the staff officer Wang come back yet?"
Niu Dan shook her head: "It seems that there is not yet."
Li Yunlong said: "What are you doing this guy?"
...
"Haqi! Haqi! Haqi!"
Wang Yan sneezes several times.
Sun Ming, who was on the side, said with concern: "Old Wang, don't you catch a cold, right?"
"No." Wang Yan said sneeringly, "I won't catch a cold even if you catch a cold."
Sun Minghu said, and then said, "Old Wang, is your method reliable?"
Wang Yan said: "I don't know whether it is reliable or not. I have to try it before I know it."
While saying that, Wang Yan pressed the switch harder and the pendulum fixed to a wooden rack began to sway.
Sun Ming on the other side began to count the timing.
When the time came to fifteen seconds, a wooden board popped up with a bang.
It turns out that this is a time switch designed by Wang Yan "personally", and I don't know what it is for?
Wang Yan tried the strength of the wooden board, shook his head and said, "It seems that the strength is still not enough, so we must continue to strengthen it!"
Sun Ming said: "If you want me to say don't try this hard. You are simply whimsical and you can't succeed."
"Why is it impossible?" Wang Yan shook his head and said, "What if? What if it is done? How many people can be killed less?"
"Okay." Sun Ming could only compromise and shook his head, "I really can't do anything to you. I hope you can do this."
...
In the inner city, the first Japanese army headquarters.
After the first few hours of panic, the command staff members had calmed down.
Especially the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army attacked outside the East Gate and Yingze Gate for an afternoon, but was unable to enter, which gave the Japanese staff enough confidence.
"It's better for the commander to do the trick." Tanaka Takayoshi said, "With the officer's family as a threat, the combat effectiveness of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army has indeed come up!"
"This afternoon, the Eighth Route Army repelled more than a dozen attacks!"
"Hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers were killed, which was simply unimaginable in the past."
"But this is also a double-edged sword." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand and said, "It's better to use this last resort less."
"It's okay once or twice. If you use it too often, the Imperial Army will inevitably be disagreeable with the Imperial Army, and it will be a matter of time before and after a complete betrayal."
"Hayi, Commander, clarified."
"By the way, has the 110th Division started?"
"Yes, the 110th Division has completed assembly and deportation."
"However, something seems to be wrong with the Jingxing section of the Zhengtai Railway."
"There is a problem at this time in the Jingxing section of Nani Zhengtai Railway?"
"Yes, the Eighth Route Army's guerrillas section of the Hebei-Central Military Region have several bridges."
