Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 662 Let the brothers take a break and wait until this round of bombing is over before launch

The night passed quickly. Under the command of Lin Zhenhua, two artillery battalions plus two armored battalions launched an artillery bombardment on the Taiyuan city gates. Under the fierce artillery fire, the Japs' resistance was very weak. It took less than an hour to complete the attack on the four city gates and successfully took control of them.

"Order the 358st, nd, rd and th Battalions of the th Regiment, together with the st Tank Battalion, the st Armored Vehicle Battalion and the nd Armored Vehicle Battalion, to launch an attack on Taiyuan City. Eliminate the remaining enemies in Taiyuan City at all costs!"

Lin Zhenhua did not plan to continue using pepper smoke bombs. There were two main considerations. On the one hand, there were not many pepper smoke bombs left in stock, and he had to fully support the battle at Niangzi Pass. On the other hand, there were not many Japanese devils left in Taiyuan City. The large-scale use of pepper smoke bombs would seriously affect the advancement of the troops. In order to capture Taiyuan City as soon as possible, he had to stop using pepper smoke bombs.

This time, Chu Yunfei did not stay in the rear. He went directly to the front line to command. Lin Zhenhua was responsible for staying in the rear. At the same time, he also mobilized a large number of air forces to the Niangziguan front line to strengthen Li Yunlong's strength.

Booming explosions rang out in Taiyuan City. Facing the fierce firepower, the Japanese soldiers who were resisting stubbornly had no room to fight back. Half of the people in Taiyuan City were driven out by the Japanese soldiers because of the plague. Later, a fake plague appeared and many more were driven out. The total number of people in the city was less than 2000.

This brought great convenience to the attacking 358th Regiment and the Armored Regiment. Whenever they encountered stubborn Japanese resistance, they would fire a shell at them, and the machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles would fire fiercely. It would be difficult for the Japanese to succeed if they adopted a strategy of mutual destruction.

It took less than two hours to recapture the position abandoned last night, killing and wounding nearly 400 Japanese soldiers, and then the main force launched another attack on the central area of ​​Taiyuan City. The Japanese soldiers only had two squadrons left and had no intention of surrendering. They relied on the buildings in the city to fight back tenaciously. After receiving Chu Yunfei's request for help, Lin Zhenhua immediately mobilized a squadron of ground attack aircraft to provide support, suppressing and removing the exposed Japanese firepower points!

"Let the first and second battalions charge forward. The Japanese have lost their fighting spirit. Now is a good time to attack. Once the Japanese come to their senses, our situation will be very dangerous!"

"Brother Ligong, you must personally go to the front to supervise the battle. Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot on the spot. No matter what the cost, the battle must be ended within six hours!"

Chu Yunfei showed no mercy this time. He directly issued a death order to his troops and sent a company of supervision teams to supervise the battle. Even the Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was sent out. It can be said that he was making a desperate move.

The reason why Chu Yunfei was so anxious was because he knew clearly that the fake plague would be exposed tomorrow. If Taiyuan City could not be taken today, the consequences would be really disastrous.

Lin Zhenhua was also not idle. He ordered the Air Force Regiment to stop its external air transport lines and focus on transporting troops and cement and steel bars to Taiyuan City. He needed to capture and repair Taiyuan City in the shortest time possible and prepare for a fierce battle with the Japanese.

After receiving the order, Zhao Gang did not dare to delay and quickly began to mobilize personnel and materials, striving to get the materials and personnel in place before noon tomorrow.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were not idle either. Especially when they learned that the Japanese's circular encirclement was about to be formed, they tried every means to mobilize more ordinary people to help them build fortifications.

Li Yunlong also intensified the offensive on Niangzi Pass again. With the full support of the Air Force Regiment, he directly launched a carpet bombing on the defenders of Niangzi Pass. The rumbling sound of explosions never stopped, and oil barrel bombs were thrown down without mercy, directly flattening the top of the mountain by two or three meters. It can be seen how powerful the explosion was.

"Commander, we have now captured all the outer positions of Niangzi Pass. The Japanese only have two main positions left to hold on. According to our current offensive intensity, we will definitely be able to capture Niangzi Pass before eight o'clock tomorrow night." Zhang Dabiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with joy on his face.

Li Yunlong picked up the kettle and took a big gulp. He felt much cooler. His throat was almost smoking from shouting before, but now he could finally take a break.

"Da Biao, let the brothers rest for a while, and launch the attack after this round of bombing is over. We have been fighting for eight hours since this morning, and the soldiers are very tired. To be honest, even I didn't expect such a high-intensity battle today. If the Japanese had not had reinforcements, it would be impossible for us to take Niangzi Pass with the few people we have."

"The Japanese were fooled by the fake plague operation of the college students, and the main force directly evacuated Taiyuan City. Otherwise, we really couldn't have taken down these two tough nuts to crack. I have to say that the college students are really amazing. I think it's too risky to attack Taiyuan City, and I strongly opposed it before. Now it seems that I really can't see as far as the college students. This risky operation has basically established the victory. As long as there are no unexpected situations in the middle, we will have no problem taking down Niangzi Pass and Taiyuan City!"

"Shen Quan, take your men to find a nearby village and mobilize the people. After we take Niangzi Pass, let the people help us build fortifications."

"We have seized a lot of money before. We will use it to hire people to work. We must not let them work for free. If anyone dares to violate the rules, I will shoot him dead!"

Before taking Niangzi Pass, Li Yunlong was already thinking about what to do after taking Niangzi Pass. Shen Quan, who received the order, did not dare to delay. He dispatched a company of armored vehicles and two infantry companies, and hurriedly left Niangzi Pass. Based on the reconnaissance intelligence provided by the reconnaissance plane, he rushed to the nearest villa.

At the same time, the siege of Taiyuan City entered its final moment. Under the charge led by Chu Yunfei himself, another squadron of Japanese troops was wiped out.

At this point in the battle, there were only about 160 Japanese soldiers left in Taiyuan City, and they could no longer cause any big waves. However, these Japanese soldiers had to be killed, and there was absolutely no mercy on them. Chu Yunfei once again organized a general attack and surrounded the remaining 100 Japanese soldiers. In the narrow street that was a hundred meters long, the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire. The battle lasted until 358: in the afternoon, and the entire Taiyuan City fell completely into the hands of the Armored Regiment and the th Regiment...
