    This time, in the words of the deputy commander in charge of front-line work in the Eighth Division, the Eighth Division was bleeding heavily and was undergoing a thorough clearance. When the ammunition handed over by Yang Jicai was not in place, taking out the only ammunition in stock not only  It is necessary to issue it to your own troops, and also to the troops in the four divisions of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province.

    This regiment in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Division has consumed a lot of ammunition due to continuous anti-mopping operations. Now it only has an average of five rounds of ammunition per person. All heavy machine guns have been lost. Each company of light machine guns has only one light machine gun. Without replenishing ammunition, this  A small regiment with only five companies was unable to fight at all. It was heartbreaking, but the Eighth Division did not dare to be too localistic in this matter.

    It's a pity that there are a lot of troops, but the financial resources of the Eighth Division are really limited. The inventory has been carefully cleaned and cleaned, but the amount of ammunition that can be scraped is really not much.  In order to ensure that the counties participating in the war are armed with ammunition, each soldier can only guarantee twenty rounds of ammunition, nearly half of which are reloaded ammunition manufactured by the Jinsui Arsenal.

    The troops of the Eighth Division of Jinsui were secretly competing with themselves. Yang Jicai naturally didn't know it at this moment. At this time, Yang Jicai commanded his roundabout detachment to maximize the maneuverability of tanks and cars and use this road.  The road conditions were relatively good, so we headed towards Taiyuan along the highway at the fastest speed.

    Facing the roundabout detachment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance that ran all the way with almost no stops, the Japanese and puppet army strongholds along the highway were caught off guard by the local armed forces of Jinsui. Even if they had the intention, they were unable to carry out the attack.  Anything, even a pretentious interception.

    Of course, during the interspersed process, Yang Jicai would not turn a blind eye to the large-scale raids carried out by the local armed forces in Jinsui along the way. When he saw a stronghold that the local armed forces were unable to capture, he would also dispatch a tank to carry out a vehicle-mounted attack.  The 40mm artillery arrived and directly fired the shells into the firing hole, neatly assisting the local armed forces in solving the problem.

    Or the self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery that served as long-range cover along the way fired a round of shells and shut up the Japanese firepower. By doing this, although he could only penetrate along the highway this time, his roundabout operations  At least before arriving at Gujiao, we didn't encounter much trouble caused by the Japanese and puppet troops along the way.

    Even though there were several local armed forces, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold that had not been taken care of for a while wanted to resist, but when they saw so many tanks, they immediately retreated. Although the Japanese were brave, they were not stupid.  What a joke, there are so many tanks, why are you poking a hornet's nest when you have nothing to do?

    The journey along the way went smoothly, which made the commander of the Eighth Division very proud. This area was basically his territory. The detachment's detours were carried out so smoothly. This made his face very bright. The only thing he felt was a little  Embarrassingly, when entering the front line from Hujiazhuang to Loufan, the roundabout troops had a small-scale conflict with the local armed forces who did not know each other.

    The several district squadrons and basic militiamen who were ordered to serve as security along the line did not know that there was such a large mechanized force operation of their own troops. In the minds of this local armed forces, tanks and cars were the equipment of the little devils.

    After receiving instructions from the county party committee and hearing tanks and cars passing through their jurisdiction, the armed men in these places must have come out to raid again. In addition, the correspondent of the county party committee only gasped when he found them.  , and did not convey the order clearly.

    Together, several district party secretaries who led the team were ordered to pull out telephone poles and cut off the enemy's wired communications. At the same time, they did not forget to follow the custom of counter-mopping up and planted more than a dozen landmines on the road. The troops also  Ready for battle, even the only Jin-made light machine gun, which only had more than a hundred rounds of ammunition, was set up.

    As for the other Hanyang-made and Jin-made rifles, let alone one, even a pine cannon, a necessary weapon for anti-mopping up by the county armed forces, has been set up. These things cannot be hit by tanks.  , there is still no problem in hitting the infantry behind.

    Although in the hands of the Jingle County Second District Party Committee Secretary who was in charge, only half of the lens was left in the telescope, there were dozens of tanks rushing toward him, and trucks full of infantry could not be seen at a glance.  , but the district committee secretary did not hesitate or flinch.

    In his opinion, the superiors ordered to ensure the safety of this highway, so he must complete the order even if it was lightened, even though he could not understand how so many tanks and infantry could be rushed out from the depths of the base area at once  trucks, but for this local cadre who carries out orders without making samples, the orders from his superiors are everything.

    This district party secretary who has been active in Jingle, an enemy-occupied area, and suffered heavy losses from the Japanese tank mechanized troops during the anti-mopping up campaign, never thought that these tanks and trucks would?In his mind, there are a lot of tanks and trucks, so there is no need to think that they must be little devils.

    Except for cloth military caps and a small number of captured Japanese helmets, most of the Eighth Route Army did not have helmets, let alone tanks and trucks. Although the helmets worn by the troops who came were somewhat different from those worn by the Japanese army, they were not the same as those of the past.  The helmets worn by the Central Army are very similar.

    The tanks and trucks are also different from the tanks used by the Japanese army in the past. The tanks are much larger than the Japanese tanks. The weapons in the hands of the infantry are also different from those used by the Japanese. However, such a lavish army will not be able to fight on the Shanxi battlefield.  It must be the Japs. Apart from the Japs, no other army is so fashionable.

    Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which is too poor to afford uniforms, is not so wealthy. Even the Jinsui Army, which is rich and wealthy, is not so wealthy that each person has a helmet, let alone so many tanks and trucks. Even though they know that they  And these troops of his own may die here because of this battle, but the district committee secretary still decided to fight this battle.

    Fortunately, the mines made in these border areas and filled with black powder, due to the lack of high explosives, have almost no effect on the Crusader tanks. When more than a dozen pull-out mines were rushed over by a forward tank platoon at high speed.  , when the explosions occurred one after another, these tanks did not cause any casualties except for a slight vibration.

    Even his platoon guns and pine cannons did not cause any losses in the face of the extremely quick response of the Anti-Japanese Alliance. On the contrary, the district squadron, together with the Eighth Division backbone battalion that came to greet them, were carried by tanks that responded extremely quickly.  The machine gun was stuck in a ditch on the side of the road, unable to move forward or retreat.

    If Yang Jicai had not been reluctant to waste artillery shells and had issued a strict order before the interlude to strictly prohibit the use of artillery unless encountering fire interception from the Japanese stronghold, it is estimated that under a continuous artillery fire, the squadron of this district did not die on the battlefield, but would have fallen to his own people.  The muzzle is on.

    Fortunately, Yang Jicai reacted quickly. He heard something was wrong from the explosion of landmines and gunshots, and hurriedly ordered to stop the attack, and asked people from the 8th Division to use the bugle to contact, so that this small unit was out of danger. Only after the misunderstanding was resolved, the result was  But it was very bad. In the gun battle of several minutes, the local armed forces seriously injured three people and lightly injured fifteen people.

    If Yang Jicai hadn't reacted quickly and stopped the troops from attacking and using artillery fire, maybe it wouldn't have been a matter of casualties. This misunderstanding made the commander of the Eighth Division a little embarrassed, and the anti-alliance forces encountered  During the attack, his reaction speed also surprised him.

    Before the explosion of the first landmine here fell, all the troops riding on the follow-up tanks and trucks over there had already disembarked and immediately formed a battle formation. All weapons were loaded at the same time, and the machine guns were already on the first line.  The time points to a suspicious location in the mountains on both sides.

    The leading tank immediately rushed through the minefield at high speed, turned its turret to get ready for battle, and fired at suspicious targets on the road with its machine guns in a 135 to the east and 246 to the west, while the following tanks simultaneously fired at suspicious targets on the road.  Driving off the road, a temporary defense line was formed along the perimeter of the convoy.

    As soon as the volley of gunshots on the hillside was fired, the anti-alliance forces here had already formed a fan shape to surround them, and all the firepower of the tanks was directed at the place where the gunshots were fired. In less than three minutes, all the artillery fired.  It had been taken off the tractor and quickly prepared for firing. The artillery observer had even reported shooting Zhu Yuan.

    Even mortars and large-caliber machine guns are all ready for battle. Such a reaction speed would not be slow if it were not for my own reaction. Although it is an encounter, not counting the difference in weapons, but the several squadrons of my own district  I'm afraid I won't last ten minutes.

    As for his troops, although they were not slow to react, they were always a beat slower in their movements. Looking at the reaction speed of the anti-Japanese war troops, the commander of the Eighth Division, who felt that he had lost face, had already planned to  After this battle is over, train your troops well.

    Yang Jicai, who had no time to delay here, let alone what the commander next to him thought, stopped the commander from scolding the somewhat reckless district committee secretary and left a military doctor behind to treat the wounded.  Lead the team to move forward. As for this misunderstanding, we should wait until the battle is over to explain it.

    Because the Japanese and puppet troops along the highway east of Loufan had withdrawn to Taiyuan, the troops led by Yang Jicai did not encounter any interception. They even stayed in Gujiao after the Japanese troops withdrew. After seeing so many tanks and artillery, they  He surrendered cleanly without firing a shot. He even had no time to pay attention to the neatly arranged puppet troops that had already marched out of the city.

    Instead, he commanded the troops to gallop along the highway in the direction of Taiyuan. By 2 p.m. on April 15, the entire army arrived at the Baijiazhuang line on the outskirts of Taiyuan.From Baijiazhuang, the thick smoke rising from the northwest steel mill outside Taiyuan City has been clearly visible.

    After arriving at Baijiazhuang, Yang Jicai did not take any rest and continued to force his way into Taiyuan City. Under the eyes of the stunned Japanese defenders, he used tanks to cover the infantry and forcibly rushed across the Fenhe Bridge, leaving behind the control of the Eighth Division's key battalion.  After the Fenhe Bridge, the troops divided into two groups.

    With a tank company carrying one of his own companies, with the cooperation of the two basic battalions of Jinsui, they penetrated directly into the northwest steel mill and industrial zone in the northwest corner of Taiyuan outside the city, while he commanded the main force of the roundabout troops, regardless of Taiyuan.  The puppet troops from Wohu Mountain and Niutuo Village penetrated directly into Yinghui Gate in the northeast corner of Taiyuan.

    The remaining troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region strengthened a regiment from the fourth division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, under the unified command of the commander and chief of staff of the eighth division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Military Region, and then forcibly attacked and advanced southwestward along the Fen River, preparing to seize the front line of the Western Mountains of Taiyuan to ensure that the entire army  Escape route if necessary.

    After the roundabout troops commanded by Yang Jicai arrived, Taiyuan City, which had been peaceful since its fall, was surrounded by intensive gunfire. All counties outside Taiyuan such as Gujiao, Jinyuan, and Qingyuan were abandoned, and all Japanese troops retreated into the city, relying on  The city walls and surrounding fortifications were desperately resisting.
