The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

"Your Excellency, Commander..." Another orderly rushed into the war room with a serious expression, perhaps because he was too anxious to speak.

"The Eighth...Eighth Route Army...has entered Taiyuan from Ximen..."

"The garrison in the west of the city has been defeated and is unable to resist..."

"and……"

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly.

Before the order to retreat to the outer city was sent out, the Eighth Route Army had already entered Taiyuan.

If there are too many Eighth Route Army entering the city, and the soldiers are divided into separate routes, heading straight to the south and north of the city, blocking the garrison there at the top of the city, then I will not be able to achieve my goal of gathering heavy troops to defend the inner city...

Then Taiyuan City is really dangerous.

Regardless of his identity as a commander, he grabbed the messenger by the collar and said sharply: "And what? Tell me quickly? Don't hesitate to talk to me!"

"There are so many Eighth Route Army troops entering Taiyuan from Ximen..." The messenger was afraid that Yoshio Iwamatsu would vent his anger on himself, but he had to report it, so he could only bite the bullet and say half a word.

Little did they know that doing so would anger Yoshio Iwamatsu even more.

He yelled at the messenger: "Bageyalu..."

"How many people are there?"

"You won't report the battle situation..."

"If you don't finish speaking in one breath, get out of here. The Shanxi garrison doesn't want this kind of messenger who can't even report."

"There are at least three elite battalions of the Eighth Route Army entering the city..." The messenger didn't dare to use his cleverness any more, and reported directly.

"Excellent equipment and strong combat effectiveness."

"After entering the city, the troops were divided into four groups, and each route had chariots to open the way, heading straight to the inner city of Taiyuan, east of the city, south of the city, and north of the city..."

"There are still some Eighth Route Army who don't have tanks to open the way, and use companies and platoons as units to fight towards the arsenal..."

"It's over..." Yoshio Iwamatsu slumped down on the chair.

After thousands of calculations, I still haven't counted the Eighth Route Army outside the city.

There are at least six battalions of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, but only one battalion is always active outside, and the other troops are all lurking on standby.

All preparations in Taiyuan City were prepared according to the fact that the opponent had only one or two battalions of infantry.

Now there are six battalions of infantry all of a sudden, three times more than the previous estimate, how to fight...

Even if Okamura Ningji is called, he is not an opponent.

Yoshio Iwamatsu hadn't reacted to the bad news of the breach in the west of the city, another messenger ran into the war room in a panic, pulling him back from the shock to reality.

"Your Excellency Commander..."

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the east of the city has entered the outer city..."

"The temporary defense positions built by the city defense forces collapsed across the board..."

"Nani?" Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at the messenger in disbelief.

Before that, he always believed that the east of the city was the direction with the strongest defense force in Taiyuan City.

It is impossible for the Eighth Route Army to break through from the east of the city.

The headquarters also received news before that: In order to reduce casualties, the garrison in the east of the city took the initiative to retreat to the city, set up a temporary defense line with the gap in the city wall as the center, and successfully blocked the Eighth Route Army's siege troops.

At that time, he subconsciously believed that the temporary defense line established by the garrison in the east of the city was indestructible...

Not long after that, the defense line in the east of the city, which gave him great confidence, was broken through by the Eighth Route Army.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't believe it.

Seeing the growing anger on Yoshio Iwamatsu's face, the orderly was also worried that he would get burned and become the commander's target.

My military rank is too low, and I have really become a venting bucket. I think there is no place to go to the abyss, so I quickly explain.

"The Eighth Route Army attacking the east of the city suddenly assembled a large number of artillery to attack the temporary defense line."

"There are mountain artillery, large-caliber mortars, ordinary mortars, and flying thunder cannons that can fire gasoline bombs..."

"The fortifications on the defense line in the city are all temporarily repaired by the troops, and there are almost no permanent firepower points."

"Vulnerable to artillery fire..."

"In just 5 minutes, the artillery attack blew up the defense line and made it impossible to continue to defend."

"The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to attack under the cover of tanks..."

"One assault tore a hole in the line of defense..."

"Then the line of defense collapsed across the board..."

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't listen anymore, he waved his hand to signal the messenger to leave, and then immediately looked at the chief of staff.

"The garrisons in the east and west of the city will definitely not be able to withdraw... The only way to defend the inner city is to rely on the troops in the south and north of the city..."

"Has the retreat order been passed on to the troops..."

"Do they still have a chance to evacuate from the top of the city and retreat to the inner city..."

The chief of staff quickly replied: "They have received an order to retreat..."

"Using squadrons as units to alternately cover and evacuate from the city..."

"Although a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have come in from the west of the city, it will take time for them to go from the west of the city to the south and north of the city."

"As long as they retreat fast enough, there will be no accidents on the road... It will be no problem to withdraw half of the troops."

Yoshio Yanmatsu looked a little better, and said with a long sigh of relief: "There are more than 1000 people, enough to defend the inner city..."

…………

On the street from the west of the city to the south of the city, an Eighth Route Army of more than 600 people was rushing forward with three chariots.

Wei Dayong ran in the middle of the team and kept urging: "We need to speed up..."

"The little devil must be sending troops from the south of the city back to the inner city..."

"The last time we failed to capture the inner city of Taiyuan, it was because the brats broke their wrists, abandoned the outer city, and gathered heavy troops to defend the inner city."

"The same mistake must never be made a second time!"

"This time, we must block the Japanese and puppet troops defending the outer city from the inner city..."

"Speed ​​up and keep going..."

Five minutes later, a Japanese army retreating to the inner city happened to appear on the street ahead.

Wei Dayong jumped his feet in anxiety, and immediately ordered: "The chariot shoots... The others are ready to fight, we will kill them directly..."

"Dong dong dong..."

The sound of heavy machine gun fire was soon heard from the three tanks, and the bullets whized into the street.

More than a dozen little devils were beaten into a sieve in an instant, without making a sound, they fell to the ground and turned into corpses.

The devils' retreating troops were taken aback, obviously they didn't expect the Eighth Route Army to come so quickly.

The more than 100 soldiers who broke through the interception of the Eighth Route Army immediately accelerated and rushed to the inner city frantically, fearing that they would be chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army and wiped out here.

The Japanese soldiers who were blocked on the street could only lie on the ground and worry.

Three chariots and six vehicle-mounted machine guns fired together, and the bullets fired directly interweaved a line of firepower on the street. Let alone a living person, it was difficult for even a rabbit to cross.

"The battalion commander... more than 100 devils fled towards the inner city."

"Follow me with a tank to catch up with them and kill them." Wei Dayong didn't expect that he was too late to catch up, so he ordered directly with a vicious expression.

"The others and I turned to defend on the spot, blocking the little devil's retreating troops..."

"The troops attacking the south of the city will be killed soon..."

"At that time, we will attack back and forth, and no matter how many days the puppet army will be wiped out by us..."

"The chariot moves freely..."

"Where the battle is fierce and where reinforcements..."

The second one was delivered today!Ask for full order!
