    Chapter 679: The destruction of Taiyuan City (1)

    In a fierce battle between dragons and tigers in the ancient capital of Xi'an, Tang Qiuli personally killed 273 people and sent more than 180 people to prison. Xi'an's original military and political system almost underwent a major change, and the hidden dirt  , was cleaned up, and the citizens clapped their hands and applauded. This ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was rejuvenated. Amidst the sounds of killing in Xi'an, happiness fell from the sky. The hero Huangshan Hu unexpectedly met his beloved lifelong partner Ouyang Lan.  {}

    Faced with Ouyang Lan's persistent pursuit, their eyes instantly intertwined that night. It would be nonsense to say that Shan Hu was unmoved, but he was a person who was poor at words. When Tang Qiuli asked for his opinion, Shan Hu's face turned red, and he looked at her every time.  At a loss for words, Ouyang Lan cast her eager eyes on this loyal and dull man. Only in this way could she see the frankness in his heart.

    Facing Ouyang Lan's expectant gaze, Shan Hu suddenly had the courage, "Sir, take her with you, she's so pitiful." It was really not easy to say these words from the mouth of Tie Han Shan Hu.  Coupled with Shan Hu's eager expression, Tang Qiuli couldn't contain his joy. Only then did Shan Hu realize that he was teasing him on purpose. He was embarrassed and rushed over, just like when they were kids when they were joking. Tang Qiuli was not to be outdone, and he  The mountain tigers huddled together.

    The three women in the room were all stunned. Mei Ting and Mei Xue were not Xiaoling, and they didn't know the deeper relationship between Shan Hu and Tang Qiuli. In addition to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, there were also childhood partners and teenage friendships.  The deep relationship like brothers is a relationship that can entrust each other with life. I have never seen a dignified general, the leader of hundreds of thousands of troops, acting like a naughty child, getting into a ball with his subordinates. It is rare to see  scene

    Especially Ouyang Lan, when she first met the famous Vice Chairman Tang, the general who commanded the army, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. When she saw the officers coming in and out, she was very respectful to Tang Qiuli. He was also the direct boss of her sweetheart. In a word  It can determine the happiness of the rest of his life, and he dare not say any unnecessary words. There is only one sentence that can describe Ouyang Lan's feelings about the situation in front of him. It is incredible.

    Tang Qiuli felt something warm in his heart. After a long time, he seemed to have forgotten the interesting things about his youth. Years of fighting, facing powerful enemies, dealing with high-ranking national officials and powerful local figures, the warmth in his heart had been tempered.  When it was empty, Shan Hu's subconscious actions today brought back memories of his hometown and childhood. It wasn't until he was covered in hot sweat that the two of them waved their hands. Tang Qiuli was feeling well and in a good mood, and Shan Hu didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.  , how disrespectful.

    Looking at the almost cramped eyes of the three beautiful women, they looked at each other and smiled. The sincere feelings shown in a moment made the three women's eyes wet. Tang Qiuli looked at Ouyang Lan who was still in surprise and asked: "  Miss Ouyang, what are your plans when you get to Dingbian?" Ouyang Lan glanced at Shan Hu timidly.

    Tang Qiuli understood, and then said: "Miss Ouyang, how about this? When you get to Dingbian, you can choose any university to continue your studies, and let Huzi lead you to it." This is the most appropriate arrangement.  With Shan Hu's reputation and status today, no one in Dingbian or in the entire military division dares not to buy into his account.

    His good brother found his home. Tang Qiuli was in a good mood. On the way to Dingbian, he deliberately arranged Shan Hu to take care of Ouyang Lan and created every opportunity for them to be together. Seeing that the relationship between Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan became stronger and stronger.  Going deeper and deeper, Mei Ting and Mei Xue were moved by the chivalrous and tender heart of their beloved man.

    After spending the night in Xin'an and arriving in Dingbian in one day, Tang Qiuli received a battle report from Chang Feng from Huangyadong. According to the division commander's deployment, the Huangyadong garrison communicated with the Eighth Route Army troops.  , this morning, together with the 129th Division, 120th Division and the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, they launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army outside Huangyadong. After a day of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was compressed to a radius of less than ten meters.  Within an area of ??more than square kilometers, ask the division commander whether to annihilate this Japanese army immediately.

    Tang Qiuli immediately called back, "The Huangyadong garrison will wipe out the Japanese troops in this unit as quickly as possible. Then, with the two brigades directly under the division as the core, all new recruits who are training will end their training ahead of schedule and be organized into field brigades to form  The Taihang Mountain Field Corps, with Chief of Staff Chang Feng of the ** Division as its commander, went to hide and wait near Wuxiang. The defense task of Huangyadong was handed over to Jiang Yanming's Huangyadong Security Brigade. "

    Tang Qiuli estimated that there were about 78,000 new recruits trained at the Huangyadong training headquarters. Six new field brigades had been formed and had been trained for more than four months. The military situation was urgent and they could not wait to proceed step by step.  After completing all the training, he could only go to the battlefield and practice in actual combat. There was no other way. The big bag he knitted for Okamura Neji had only a gap in the direction of Wuxiang, so he had to use the recruit brigade to plug it.

    Subsequently, he sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, requesting all departments of the Eighth Route Army to immediately send troops southward to the Changzhi area after ending the annihilation battle outside Huangyadong.Looking for an opportunity to destroy the Japanese supply line, it would be best to occupy Changzhi. The weapons and ammunition of various departments of the Eighth Route Army can be replenished on the spot at the Huangyadong base. He knew that the Eighth Route Army did not have the capital to fight positional warfare or fortified battles, so Tang Qiu  In the telegram, he communicated in a consultative tone, and informed the Eighth Route Army commander-in-chief General Zhu De of his next strategic intentions without any concealment. He believed that the Eighth Route Army headquarters would actively cooperate with his strategic intentions.

    On the way to Dingbian, Tang Qiuli dispatched troops and generals. However, Yan Xishan in Taiyuan City was living like a year and restless. The three personal training brigades he sent to Taigu did not disappoint him. They rushed into battle in a hurry.  Under such circumstances, in Taigu, more than 200,000 Japanese troops were held back for three full days, and more than half of each brigade suffered casualties.

    Finally, precious time was bought for Zhao Chengshou's troops to rush back to Taiyuan. The two divisions and one brigade of the vanguard have arrived at the outskirts of Taiyuan, and the follow-up troops are continuing to approach. At this time, the war in Taigu and Jinzhong is not optimistic.  The training brigade was exhausted and at the end of its battle. Sun Chu in Jinzhong was also struggling to hold on. Danger was everywhere and the defense line was crumbling. In one day, there were several emergencies. Fortunately, they were not broken through by more than 80,000 Japanese troops.

    Yan Xishan listened to the rapid ringing of the phone in the headquarters, and he was at his wits' end. Zhao Chengshou's vanguard troops were sent by him to a division in the direction of Jinzhong and a division and a brigade in the direction of Taigu, a total of more than 30,000 troops.  He knew very well how effective it could be against more than 300,000 Japanese troops.

    Having been unable to contact Tang Qiuli for several days, Yan Xishan became increasingly unsure. In North China, only Tang Qiuli's military power could relieve the siege of Taiyuan. The others, including Chiang Kai-shek, could not quench their thirst from far away.  , unable to contact Tang Qiuli, he sent telegrams to the commanders of various regiments of the ** Division. Even Liu Tiehan, who was far away in Cangzhou, also received telegrams from Yan Xishan. He sent countless telegrams, but the answer he received was the same.  , the division headquarters is on the march and its whereabouts are unknown. Our corps has also lost contact with the division headquarters. After communicating with the division headquarters, we will convey Commander Yan's emergency telegram to the division commander.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Thinking of this extremely terrifying guess, Yan Xishan couldn't help but shudder. If it was true, Taiyuan would not be protected, Shanxi would be lost, and all the family wealth he had accumulated for many years would be lost. He would have to hand over Shanxi to the Japanese and run away in panic.  A way.

    But the battle reports from various places in Pingjin made him doubt his judgment. Tang Qiuli's troops fought fiercely with the Japanese around Pingjin. They even fought with the Kwantung Army in Shanhaiguan, especially Tang Qiuli's troops.  He couldn't get away, and he couldn't take care of reinforcements in Shanxi. There were more than 80,000 Tang Qiuli's troops at Niangzi Pass. It is said that Zhangjiakou also fell into his hands. Shouldn't it be logical?

    However, Yan Xishan understood that without the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, Taiyuan would definitely not be safe. Even with the reinforcements of Tang Qiuli's troops, he would be severely damaged. Should he abandon Taiyuan to preserve his strength and make a comeback?  Should he fight to the death with the Japanese in Taiyuan and save everything he has worked so hard for?

    Can Tang Qiuli come to reinforce? If we fight, losses will be inevitable. If we retreat, we will lose more. Hopes and doubts, whether to fight or to retreat, several thoughts are swirling in Yan Xishan's heart. He is usually full of wisdom and cleverness.  , Chief Yan, who was good at calculation, almost went crazy with torture. He stayed up all night, thinking hard, looking for the safest way.

    The situation in Taigu and Jinzhong became increasingly critical. The Japanese army launched uninterrupted and continuous attacks on the Jin army's defensive positions. On the Taigu front line, the Japanese army launched division-level attacks as many as five times in one day.  , the overwhelming artillery fire flooded the Jin army's positions again and again, and the reinforcements of a division were almost wiped out. Of the three personal training brigades, less than one and a half brigades were left.

    On the Jinzhong front line, Sun Chu's situation was relatively better. After adding one division, the defensive front was stabilized. However, the casualties of the troops were close to more than half. The front line could no longer support it. Zhao Chengshou's troops were still arriving one after another.  When a division arrived on the outskirts of Taiyuan, Yan Xishan immediately threw himself into the main battlefield of Taigu. These troops who had been marching for a long distance had no time to take a breath and immediately went into battle. How could the tired soldiers fight again? Facing the fierce Japanese artillery fire, the Jin soldiers who went up  The army suffered heavy casualties, and the battle to defend Taiyuan became the most taboo tactic among military strategists, which was to increase troops one after another.

    Faced with a large number of casualties every day, Yan Xishan was in extreme pain, and his heart was bleeding in pain. It was all his hard work, and the only way to dominate the three Jin Dynasties was to continuously increase his troops on the battlefields of Taigu and Jinzhong, which were in a sea of ??fire.  In order to support Zhao Chengshou's main force, he still doesn't understand why Okamura Neji abandoned Tang Qiuli and suddenly looked for him to fight for his life?

    Zhao Chengshou's vanguard troops were sent to the Taigu and Jinzhong battlefields where artillery fire was pouring, but they had no decision on the entire battle.Due to the change in nature, the Japanese attack power continued unabated. By the evening of May 13th, the situation further deteriorated. The Taigu and Jinzhong defense lines were breached by the Japanese in many places.
