The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 207 Isn't That Sending Food Into Our Mouths? (Second more)

"Boom..." The mountain cannon mounted behind the second company quickly roared, and the shells flew towards the devil with a whistling sound.

The moment the cannon sounded, the sound of the shell explosion reached everyone's ears at the same time.

The flames splashed, and the sandbag bunker in front of the heavy machine gun was instantly blown to pieces, and the heavy machine gun was blown over together...

All the devils nearby were not spared, and fell to the ground screaming.

Some devils were not knocked out by the blast, and fell to the ground screaming and wriggling...

"Tom tom tom..." The three mortars followed suit, blasting shells into the bunker of the Japanese puppet army, and continued to kill and wound the remaining little devils there.

It was too late and then quickly, the second company commander held the box cannon and jumped over the sandbags in front of him, shouting while charging: "The little devil is finished... kill them, kill them... come with me!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was awakened by his subordinates in the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan.

He was in a particularly bad mood, and just about to swear, he came over and asked his staff officer to report quickly: "Your Excellency, Commander...something happened in Jinzhong!"

"Shangchuan Shaozuo, who stayed in Jinzhong, just called: They were attacked by heavy troops from the Eighth Route Army. The opponent had at least [-] people and was equipped with no less than forty artillery pieces, including mountain cannons and infantry artillery for siege!"

"The troops left behind in Jinzhong have suffered heavy losses. Please send troops to reinforce Jinzhong immediately... Otherwise Jinzhong will definitely be occupied by the Eighth Route Army!"

"What did you just say? Jinzhong County was attacked, how is this possible?" Yoshio Shinozuka's first reaction was exactly the same as that of Shao Zuo Shangchuan, thinking that his subordinates were joking with him.

The staff officer could only continue to report: "I don't even believe this is true...but Shao Zuo Shangchuan did call the military department for help..."

"The phone hasn't hung up yet, you don't believe you can ask yourself!"

Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't stand anymore, returned to the room, put on his military uniform, and rushed to the war room, asking, "Do you know which unit and the specific number of the Eighth Route Army that attacked Jinzhong?"

Seeing the staff officer shaking his head, Shinozuka Yoshio didn't curse, but his steps were bigger than before.

Rushed into the war room, went straight to the telephone, grabbed the microphone on the table and asked, "I'm Yoshio Shinozuka, Commander of the Shanxi Garrison!"

"How is the situation in Jinzhong City, report it immediately. Try to be as detailed as possible!"

"Only by understanding your real battle situation can I send troops to reinforce Jinzhong!"

"The general is wise!" Shao Zuo Shangchuan's panic-filled report quickly came from the microphone.

"We were attacked by at least [-] Route Army...the opponent's siege firepower was very strong, and completely suppressed the defenders on the top of the city. There was no way to stop them, and the casualties were extremely heavy!"

"If the general doesn't send reinforcements quickly, we won't last until dawn!"

"Which Eighth Route Army are they!" Shinozuka Yoshio finally believed in the bad news that Jinzhong was attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and continued to ask into the microphone.

"I don't know about the humble position!" Shao Zuo Yongchuan shook his head and replied.

"Jinzhong County was surrounded by the Eighth Route Army. We didn't understand the situation outside the city at all, and we didn't capture any prisoners..."

"Idiot... After fighting for so long, I didn't even know the identity of the enemy. What a waste of war..." Yoshio Shinozuka's anger suddenly surged up, and he yelled into the microphone...

Just when he was about to continue talking, a report came out of the receiver: "Sir... the East Gate of Shanxi was broken through by the Eighth Route Army..."

"They have already entered Jinzhong County, heading directly to the headquarters!"

After hearing this, Shao Zuo Shangchuan was shocked.

Before he could give an order, he said into the microphone: "Your Excellency, Commander... the east gate of Jinzhong has been breached by the Eighth Route Army. If you don't send troops to reinforce it, Jinzhong County will be lost..."

After finishing speaking, he gave an order to the communications soldiers who had just rushed over: "Let the garrison in the east of the city rely on the street fortifications to block the Eighth Route Army's siege troops, hold them back, and buy time for the reinforcements to reach Jinzhong!"

Shinozuka Yoshio put down the phone with a sullen face, looked at the sand table in front of him, and began to give orders: "Immediately transfer an infantry brigade from Taiyuan, and then transfer a battalion of the Imperial Association Army. The troops march forward lightly, and must kill Jinzhong County in the shortest possible time! "

"The intelligence department will immediately figure out the identity of the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinzhong, and it must be fast..."

"By the way, find out how they got to Jinzhong!"

"Thousands of Eighth Route Army suddenly approached the city of Jinzhong, and attacked Jinzhong by force... Heavenly soldiers and generals are not so powerful!"

Twenty minutes later, Yoshio Shinozuka received another call from Major Kamikawa.

The Eighth Route Army, which entered Jinzhong from the east gate, has already charged more than [-] meters to the center of the city... The intercepting troops suffered heavy casualties, and the Eighth Route Army had artillery support, with almost no losses!

Ximen and Nanmen were also breached by the Eighth Route Army, and the two sides are fighting in the streets!

Twenty minutes later, the only remaining north gate in Jinzhong was also broken through by the Eighth Route Army...

The troops staying in Jinzhong suffered heavy losses, and there were less than [-] people left to continue fighting...

"General, the offensive arsenal is occupied by the Eighth Route Army!" The telephone soldier put down the microphone and reported another bad news to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Bageyalu, didn't I ask Shao Zuo Shangchuan to blow up the arsenal? Why didn't they blow it up!" Shinozuka Yoshio said very dissatisfied.

The telephone soldier quickly explained: "He sent someone to bomb it, but it didn't work!"

"There was an Eighth Route Army ambushing in the city of Jinzhong in advance... After the siege began, it suddenly captured the arsenal... and even established a defense line around the arsenal to prevent us from recapturing the arsenal..."

Yoshio Shinozuka could no longer describe his anger in words.

The Eighth Route Army was anticipating the enemy first, and it was obviously a premeditated battle.

If Jinzhong is lost, the Jinzhong Army Arsenal will also be captured by the Eighth Route Army... The Eighth Route Army that attacks Jinzhong will have enough weapons and ammunition to continue to threaten the safety of Taiyuan...

Taiyuan is the headquarters of the Shanxi First Army, the capital of SX Province, and the economic and political center.

A mixed brigade stationed all year round...

But in order to support the frontline sweep, the garrison has been reduced to an infantry regiment, and troops have to be divided to protect the airport outside the city, the arsenal outside the city... There are at most two brigades that can be used to defend the city...

Taiyuan is several times larger than Jinzhong, and the two infantry brigades seem to be many. After the city wall is scattered for more than ten kilometers, there is less than one soldier for an average of five meters of the city wall.

In case the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinzhong suddenly went crazy, they assembled heavy troops to attack Taiyuan.

With the existing defensive forces in Taiyuan, the outer city will definitely not be able to defend...

Not only will the Shanxi garrison lose face, but the North China Front Army will also lose face to the country!
At that time, in order to save the face of the imperial army and defend Taiyuan, I must send heavy troops from the front line to help Taiyuan, and the Shanxi garrison's sweep against the Eighth Route Army will be crushed because of this...

"What a cunning Eighth Route Army, they want to attack Taiyuan to force us to send troops back to the occupied area to end the sweep..." Shinozuka Yoshio quickly figured out the real reason why there were a large number of Eighth Route Army outside Jinzhong City, and scolded while clenching his fists !

The chief of staff was convinced: "The Eighth Route Army likes to use this method of attack when it is fighting against mopping up!"

"A part of the troops are circling inside our encirclement, fighting guerrillas, and attracting our attention... The main force penetrates directly behind the sweeping troops to destroy, cuts off the logistics supply line of the sweeping troops, and forces us to retreat..."

"I didn't expect them to be so courageous this time, to send troops to attack Taiyuan through one or two hundred kilometers!"

"The snake hits seven inches. Taiyuan is the seven inches of our Shanxi garrison. The Eighth Route Army will focus on this place. Once they succeed, our sweep against the Shanxi Eighth Route Army will be self-defeating!"

"But there is also a fatal loophole in doing so!"

"As long as we defend Jinzhong, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to force us to retreat by attacking Taiyuan."

"The troops they penetrated outside the city of Jinzhong may be eaten by us, and lose their wife and lose their troops!"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded in support: "The Chief of Staff is right!"

"The Eighth Route Army's idea is very good, and the layout is also very good!"

"But we are not without a way to break the situation!"

"Have the reinforcements in Jinzhong not assembled yet? Let them hurry up, they must reach Jinzhong within three hours, and drive the Eighth Route Army out of Jinzhong!"

"The staff department immediately designated a troop deployment plan... two brigades were dispatched from surrounding counties and strongholds, and together with the infantry brigade to reinforce Jinzhong, we will destroy the Eighth Route Army attacking Jinzhong..."

"The air force is ready to go immediately!"

"As soon as the day breaks, we dispatch planes to reinforce Jinzhong County, and air strike the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army!"

"If the reinforcements in Jinzhong haven't recaptured Jinzhong before dawn, the air force will immediately destroy the Jinzhong arsenal to prevent the Eighth Route Army from taking it for its own use!"

On the road connecting Jinzhong to Taiyuan City, the assault company performing secret missions is lurking here on standby.

Zhang Dashan, commander of the cavalry company, and Duan Yong, commander of the guard battalion, stood beside Huang Yu on one left and one on the right, with expressions of nervousness and suspicion.

"Officer Huang, Taiyuan City will really send troops to reinforce Jinzhong... I heard that there are not many devils in Taiyuan City. If you send troops again, there will be no troops in Taiyuan City. Will the little devils take such a big risk for Jinzhong?" Duan Yong, the battalion commander of the guard, still understood the enemy's situation around him, and analyzed with doubts on his face.

"We will definitely send troops..." Huang Yu replied firmly.

"If it was an ordinary county town, the Japanese army in Taiyuan would definitely turn a deaf ear to it!"

"Jinzhong is different. It is the gateway to the southeast of Taiyuan City. Once it is occupied by us, the troops can drive straight into Taiyuan..."

"Taiyuan City is very large. If it is attacked, the remaining troops will definitely not be able to defend it. It is better to reinforce Jinzhong and block our offensive in Jinzhong. The crisis facing Taiyuan will naturally be resolved!"

Duan Yong nodded and continued to ask: "Then how many little devils do you think Taiyuan will send to reinforce Jinzhong!"

"A brigade of light infantry!" Huang Yu replied.

"There are too many places for the Taiyuan garrison to guard... all troops are arranged according to the minimum standard, and there can only be one more infantry brigade in Taiyuan!"

"Jinzhong is at stake and may be taken down by the regiment leader at any time!"

"The devils want to defend Jinzhong, so the reinforcements they send must march forward quickly..."

"Only light infantry can reach Jinzhong in the shortest time."

"Light infantry... Isn't that delivering food to us?" Cavalry company Zhang Dashan interrupted suddenly, as if seeing a pile of gold ingots, his eyes lit up.

"Officer Huang, the cavalry company likes to deal with little devils and light infantry..."

"As long as they dare to come, I am sure that they will come and go!"
