    In order to strictly ensure the communication and safety between trains, Yang Jicai placed observation posts in front of the fronts of all trains. The fronts of the trains and the command car behind them were all connected with field telephone lines to ensure that the situation at the front of the trains was always known.  It can be passed to the conductor on each train who is responsible for commanding this train.

    Intercoms are used between each train to establish a communication network. This ensures that as the last pedaler, you can grasp the driving situation of the convoy anytime and anywhere while the train is moving, and handle emergencies for yourself.  , strive for the greatest opportunity.

    According to his deployment, the first train was a combat troop train all equipped with flatbed vehicles. The vehicle was equipped with a tank, a 92 infantry gun, and two horizontal-firing anti-aircraft machine guns as covering firepower, cooperating with the two backbones of the Jinsui Military Region.  A battalion composed of two battalions was used as a road-opening force. Once the Japanese army intercepted, it would use firepower to cover the following trains and force them to pass.

    Behind this cover train, the wounded took the train, and then carried machinery and equipment. Finally, the combat troops were forced to pass through the daily occupation points on the Beitong-Pu Railway and retreated to Datong Station to join the main force. Considering that the situation was too serious, Yang Jicai secretly ordered  , all trains transporting equipment are equipped with high explosives.

    If I can't get it, you won't be able to use these steel-making and chemical equipment to reduce the cost of your war of aggression, let alone use these industrial equipment that belong to the Chinese to make weapons and ammunition for you to massacre the Chinese.  The idea is to blow up all the equipment once things really get to the point where nothing can be done.

    In fact, Yang Jicai also knew that he was not taking any ordinary risks by doing this. In normal times, this marshalling method would bring certain risks even though the trains were arranged quite densely, but as long as the scheduling was proper, it shouldn't be a big problem. Right now  But it is quite a risky behavior.

    The entire Beitong-Pu Railway from the south of Xin County is now under the control of the Japanese army. There is no railway dispatch table and no systematic unified dispatch. It can be said that six trains are directly discharged in such a dense driving pattern.  You're joking with your own life.

    As long as one train in this huge train fleet is destroyed, or there is some problem on the railway, all the trains may collide together. If a train is in a car accident, it is not a truck. Once something happens to the train in front,  The train behind them is so close that there is no time to brake. The huge inertia brought by the train's movement will make these trains a disaster.

    What's more, in order to transport as much equipment as possible, Yang Jicai added almost twice as many wagons to each train as usual. Although two locomotives were used, one in front and one in back, it undoubtedly increased the number of trains during travel.  risk, if something goes wrong, the losses will be extremely tragic.

    But even though he knew that if an accident occurred, the consequences would be serious, Yang Jicai had no other choice. In the area south of Xin County on Beitong Pu Road, which was still under the control of the Japanese army, he could not be as calm as usual.  Busy trains were started one by one, which would give the Japanese army opportunities to defeat them one by one.

    Even though he knew it was dangerous, he could only bite the bullet and do it. He took the rare method of train groups starting and forcing them to pass through at the same time in a short time. He retreated along Beitongpu Road in the direction of Datong. Otherwise, these  He couldn't transport a single part of the equipment.

    What's more, there are nearly a thousand injured people who cannot be evacuated from other directions, and thousands of workers and family members who were finally evacuated. There are a large number of bridges and tunnels like the Tongpu Railway, and the situation and structure are relatively complex.  On single-track railways, trains depart in groups, and the driving distance is so short. I don¡¯t know whether Yang Jicai¡¯s move is unprecedented, but it is certain that it is unprecedented.

    Fortunately, after the Japanese army occupied Shanxi, they not only changed the entire Tongpu Railway from narrow gauge to standard gauge, but also changed all the original hand brake braking systems to air brakes. Not only did the railway's traffic capacity be greatly enhanced, but the most critical safety aspect was also  The sex must also be enhanced a lot, otherwise even if there is no accident, something will definitely happen if Yang Jicai does this.

    This is a railway that can transport thousands of tons of cargo at a time. It is a railway that connects more than a dozen wagons in series. It is not a truck transportation with single vehicles organized into a fleet. The distance for a train to brake at one time needs to be tens of meters or even further. In addition,  The Upper Tongpu Railway has many tunnels and bridges, so an accidental collision is not a problem for one train.

    But no matter what the consequences are, Yang Jicai has no time to think about it at this time. The most critical issue before him now is how to transport so many materials and equipment safely, rather than thinking about it in advance now.  What to do if an accident occurs.

    On the one hand, he arranged the troops to ride on time at various locations, and on the other hand, he personally broke up the rear and gathered the troops and personnel. Yang Jicai stood on the platform of Yinghuimen Station, even if it wasThe army's artillery fire has already fallen on Yinghuimen Station. He is not only waiting for each troop that comes over, but also tells the leader not to panic. You will lead the troop to move somewhere immediately. The train is at  Waiting for you there.

    It was not until all the first batch of evacuated troops were on time and the second batch of equipment transport trains had started to depart north, and the Japanese troops in the south of the city had begun to enter the city one after another, that Yang Jicai took the guards and staff around him.  Got on the last train leaving Taiyuan.

    At the same time that Yang Jicai was nervously organizing his troops to pedal one after another, according to his deployment, the counterattack troops on the front line of Shuangta Temple had already taken the lead in launching counterattacks to cover the rapid evacuation of other troops in the south of the city. Although not many troops were invested,  This unit fought very tenaciously.

    Under the cover of six Il-4 bombers and five British light bombers, the troops launched a counterattack on the Shuangta Temple front line. After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, an infantry brigade of the Japanese 41st Division on the Shuangta Temple front line was defeated.  They forcefully drove out the Shuangta Temple. At the cost of more than half of the casualties of the troops participating in the battle, and the entire Shuangta Temple except for the two ancient pagodas being almost reduced to a flat ground, the troops from the old military camp in the west of the city to Nanguan were safely given away.  Covered.

    Troops in the west and south of the city took their wounded with them and rushed to Yinghui Gate at a forced march speed. After pedaling safely, the troops immediately broke away from the Shuangta Temple line and deployed a large number of minefields along the Shuangta Temple.  Following the Tongpu Railway, they immediately withdrew to the Jianziwan line. After joining the defense forces on the Haojiagou line, they quickly withdrew to the Jianziwan line to join the troops there.

    And with the explosions ringing in the city, Lieutenant General Qing Shui, the commander of the 41st Division, who was worried that the commander of the First Army would die gloriously under his nose, had no intention of pursuing the so-called retreat.  The task of rescuing the enemy is still more important than chasing the retreating enemy.

    After the 41st Division withdrew from the anti-alliance forces who were counterattacking in front of them and reoccupied the line of Shuangta Temple, an important stronghold in the south of Taiyuan City, they immediately took the lead in rushing into Taiyuan City from Yingze Gate and Shouyi Gate in Nanguan, trying to capture the people who were in dire straits.  The First Army Headquarters was rescued.

    However, the 41st Division, which was eager to enter the city, suddenly encountered intensive artillery fire from the east wall at the Shouyi Gate and Yingze Gate line of Taiyuan's south gate. Just as the bombed Japanese troops turned around with their heads covered  , when they hurriedly evacuated to the city gate to avoid the artillery fire, violent explosions occurred at the two city gates at the same time.

    The 41st Division, which was in a hurry to enter the city without any precautions, suffered heavy casualties in the shelling and violent explosions. The first four infantry squadrons trying to enter the city were hit by artillery fire at both ends, with explosives in the middle.  Almost no one survived the blast.

    Even the Japanese troops who survived the shelling and violent explosions were buried in hills of rubble, and the large number of follow-up troops of the 41st Division were completely blown into bricks and rubble almost as high as a hill.  The ruins of the two city gates were blocked around the south gate of the city gate, unable to move.

    Before the 41st Division could recover from the violent explosion, the four anti-Union Il-4 bombers that had been hovering in the sky dropped sixteen high-explosive solidification bombs in a diving posture from north to south.  Petrol bombs, the entire 41st Division's troops in the south of the city, under this period of attack, directly lost the ability to continue fighting.

    The troops of the 41st Division in Hedong, who were eager to rescue him, were directly incapacitated by Yang Jicai's two actions. Not to mention pursuing the evacuated anti-alliance troops, they just wanted to carry out their first goal of entering the city to rescue him.  At this moment, they suffered heavy casualties and were unable to do anything.

    On the contrary, the 1st Division of the 41st Division in the west of the city had to waste a lot of time because it needed to eliminate the minefields left by the troops of the Jinsui Military Region on the east bank of the river after the evacuation. After receiving the report of the encounter with the neighboring troops of the division headquarters,  , after careful inspection and dismantling the explosives planted by the Anti-Japanese Alliance at the two gates of the west city wall, they became the first force to enter Taiyuan City.

    In fact, Yang Jicai did not plant much explosives at all at the two gates of the west city wall. He only placed ten kilograms of yellow explosives at one gate. Meaning, meaning, the main purpose was to use it as a bluff, slow down the Japanese advance, and buy time for his troops to retreat.  , as for the other explosives buried behind the excavated city bricks, they were all disguised with loess packed into sacks. Only the most conspicuous place on the outside and underneath were a dozen explosive bags.

    Although he has a large amount of explosives seized from several coal mines around Taiyuan City and the Japanese warehouses in the city, there are so many places that need to be blasted. How can he have so many resources to put a large amount of explosives on several city gates?  Moreover, the Japanese troops advanced at different speeds at each city gate, so this tactic could only be used once. Using it too many times would be a waste.

    To scare the snake away, since the cunning snake has been frightened, it will not be fooled again.??He mainly deployed a large number of explosives on the southern city wall to blast them when necessary, slow down the advance of the Japanese army, and cover the evacuation of troops in and around the city.

    As for other directions, most of them used scare tactics, using the psychological effect that the South Gate garrison was the first to evacuate, and the Japanese 41st Division on the southern front was bound to be the first to enter the city, so that other Japanese troops would be able to pursue them.  , due to the encounter of the 41st Division, the pursuit speed was reduced.

    He adopted this method at the south gate, which was out of this consideration. In addition to the south gate, he also used this method in other directions, including the east wall, to frighten the Japanese army.  Stay and let them have some scruples in their actions.

    Although some were placed on the west city wall, it was mainly to scare the Japanese army. As for the north wall, he did not place a pound of explosives at all. On the north side, he placed all the explosives outside the north city wall. At this time, all the industries had been dismantled.  area, and in terms of the city gates on all sides, the focus is on the south city wall, which has no natural danger to rely on.

    He buried the two gates of Shouyi Gate and Yingze Gate on the south wall of Taiyuan, especially the large-scale Shouyi Gate, as well as almost all the remaining explosives in the Wengcheng. He also set up electric generating devices along the south wall of Taiyuan.  , installed an electric detonator made by the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and when the Japanese army entered the city, they would detonate it directly from the east city gate.
