"Enemy attack."

When the alarm sounded from the city gate, the defenders could see clearly that there was really an enemy army attacking the city. It was raining heavily, and they were seen marching down the city in battle formation.

On the top of the city, the [-]nd infantry artillery has been fully prepared, and the shells can be loaded at any time.

In such a heavy rain, if the gun barrel was flooded, it was likely to explode. Therefore, Japanese soldiers blocked the gun barrel with soldiers to prevent rainwater from seeping in.

"Loading."

The soldiers raised the flag.

The shells were carefully loaded one by one.

"emission."

Following the command to fire, one after another shells were fired from the top of the city.

Boom boom boom... shells are raging in the muddy swamp outside the city gate.

This round of shells did not cause much damage to the attacking troops.

The troops in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area have always adopted the three-three system tactics from the beginning of training.

When attacking at this time, the national army was a combat team of six people and six, and the squadron was used as a unit to attack the gate of the city. Because the battle team was scattered, it was difficult for the 6 infantry artillery of the Japanese army to cause damage to them.

Boom boom boom.

The Japanese artillery bombarded continuously.

Under the city, the national army stepped on the muddy road, braved the hail of bullets, and launched a fearless attack forward.

When a soldier falls, another soldier will immediately make up for it, and the battle formation will never be chaotic.

In the city.

Fifth Division Command.

Seishiro Itagaki was shocked. What he was most worried about happened. Liang Xiao's Central Army troops made a detour and launched an attack on Taiyuan City.

There is only one regiment in the city, even if there are cannons and walls to defend it, it will not last for a few days, he knows this very well.

Although he didn't know exactly how many troops Liang Xiao sent to attack the city, he could guess that the Chinese troops attacking Taiyuan this time were at least no less than one army.

That is to say, the attacking Chinese troops will not be less than 2, and their strength is five or six times that of the defenders in the city.

If the Jinsui army came to attack the city, Seishiro Itagaki would not be impatient, let alone frightened, but the siege army was Liang Xiao's army.

As for... this heroic general of China galloping across the battlefield, Seishiro Itagaki has already tasted the bitterness. He was just a little inattentive, and Liang Xiao's troops ate up his three 3rd regiments. fall.

"Mr. Banyuan, Zhina Liang Xiao is here."

A tense voice came in, and Kenji Doi Yuan came in from the door, wearing a black dress and a black overcoat.

"Master Tufei, as a general of the empire, why should you be so flustered?"

Itagaki Seishiro saw that Doi Enkenji 2 was wearing ordinary casual clothes, and immediately looked displeased.

"Mr. Banyuan, the chances of winning this battle between you and Liang Xiao are not great. I suggest that Mr. Banyuan withdraw from Taiyuan first to preserve his strength. After the troops from the Pingjin area reach Jinzhong, gather the main force to surround Liang Xiao and wipe him out in one fell swoop. In Taiyuan."

Doi Enkenji 2 came up with an idea.

"Dohi Madoka doesn't believe me so much"

Itagaki Seishiro was slightly angry, the battle had just begun, and Dohi Madoka was so discouraged.

"It's not that I don't believe in Mr. Itagaki. If the forces are equal, I support Mr. Itagaki to fight Liang Xiao. Regardless of success or failure, Mr. Itagaki will be famous in the history of the empire."

Tufei Yuanxian Erdao.

"Even if Liang Xiao's troops are stronger than mine, I'm not afraid."

Itagaki Seishiro is ready to die for the empire.

"Mr. Banyuan, if you stick to your defense blindly, you will only ruin the elite soldiers of the empire in vain. The combat effectiveness of Liang Xiao's troops is terrible. Even compared with the elite divisions of the empire, they are not inferior. In the past two years, several established divisions , were all wiped out by Liang Xiao, how can you be Liang Xiao's opponent when you garrison Taiyuan with a regiment of troops."

Tufei Yuanxian Erdao.

"Even if I can't stop Liang Xiao, I will die with him."

Itagaki Seishiro's face flashed a gloomy and cruel look.

"Jade Burns"

Doi Yuanxian Er 2 showed a hint of surprise. Could it be that Mr. Itagaki wants to live and die with Taiyuan? "Yes, I want to burn together with Liang Xiao, his troops, and this city."

Itagaki Seishiro had already made up his mind that if the city was destroyed, he would die with Liang Xiao.

Doi Enkenji 2 seemed to have guessed something, bowed deeply to Itagaki Seishiro, and said: "I deeply admire Itagaki-kun's loyalty to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and as an old classmate, I express my sincerest sincerity to you." respect."

"Dohi Madoka-kun, are you leaving?"

Itagaki Seishiro asked.

"Yes, Taiyuan is at stake, I must live, if Liang Xiao does not die, I must let him die."

Tufei Yuanxian Erdao.

"You are greedy for life and afraid of death"

Itagaki Seishiro said angrily.

"I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of such an unknown death. I must drag Liang Xiao to die together. He is the greatest enemy of the empire and the greatest obstacle to the empire's rule of the world. I must remove him."

Doi Enken 2 [-] Cold Road.

"If you are not afraid of death, please stay with me in the city."

Itagaki Seishiro said.

"According to my estimates, Liang Xiao will not enter the city. He is now the deputy commander in chief of the World War II zone and the commander of the Central Army. He will not set foot in the battlefield. Moreover, the Chinese government will not allow him to go to the front line in person. So, he won't come to Taiyuan City, even if we blow up the whole city, we can't hurt half a hair of him, at most... dragging his troops and the whole city people to be buried with him."

Doi Enkenji 2 said.

"Mr. Tufei, you and I are both aware of the current situation. I have no way out. The Liuxia Brigade in Northwest Shanxi has been dragged down by the [-]th Group Army. It will take two days at the earliest to reach Taiyuan. Although the imperial army has the upper hand, it can't solve the urgent situation in Taiyuan, and the troops in the Pingjin area can't quench their thirst even more."

Itagaki Seishiro pulled out...his command sword, his eyes were full of madness.

Chapter 552 All the stones are burned, the general is benevolent and righteous

Chapter 553 Confidential Secretary, Straightforward

"Northern Bureau of Power Generation, tell them that they must intercept the Japanese army's plot to blow up Taiyuan, and if necessary, they can detonate the explosives on their own."

Liang Xiao said.

"Detonate the explosion yourself, wouldn't it cause innocent deaths and injuries to the people in the city?"

A trace of surprise and unbearable flashed across Tang Menghan's eyes.

"If you don't detonate the explosives on your own, why don't you wait for the Japanese army to arrange the nodes of the explosion and blow up the whole city?"

Liang Xiao said without hesitation.

"But in this way, many innocent people in the city will die."

Although Tang Menghan was born as a rich lady, she has a strong sense of justice. When she heard about this kind of thing, she immediately spoke out for ordinary people.

"We detonate the explosives independently, so that many people can be saved and more people will be prevented from being swallowed by explosives. If there must be casualties, I would rather take one-tenth of 10% of the people in exchange for the survival of most of the people."

Liang Xiao said.

"But General, we still have a way to go. Give up attacking Taiyuan. In this way, the Fifth Division will not be so crazy that they blow up the entire city."

There was hope in Tang Menghan's eyes, how she hoped that Liang Xiao would listen to her advice.

"If our army retreats this time, the devils will enjoy the sweetness. In the future offensive and defensive battles of the city, once they are at a disadvantage, they will take... the method of detonating the whole city. Do I have to ask them again and again?" no compromise"

Liang Xiao is more concerned about the overall situation. Looking at the situation in the North China battlefield, this precedent must not be set. After all, many densely populated cities in the north are still under the control of the devils.

"General, for the sake of the people of Jin, please withdraw your troops. If Taiyuan cannot be captured once, there will be another time. Once the people are gone, what is the point of our attacking Taiyuan?"

Tang Menghan said.

Liang Xiao's expression was cold: "As a confidential secretary, this shouldn't be your business. Do your job well."

"No, it is precisely because I am the confidential secretary that I want to say that as a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, you have a great reputation and are recognized by Chinese and foreign countries. The people of the country respect you as the hero of the country, and the outside world respects you as the number one war god in East Asia. But in fact, You are so cold-blooded, for the sake of your military achievements and future, you ignore the people of Taiyuan, which does not match your reputation."

Tang Menghan blurted out in a fit of anger.

"presumptuous."

Liang Xiao reprimanded in a rare angry voice: "As a confidential secretary, these things are not your turn to worry about, get out."

"Do not."

Tang Menghan's stubborn temperament prevented her from easily compromising, and said: "If you don't cancel this order, I won't go out."

"Come here, take her out and put her in a confinement room."

Liang Xiaojian frowned and waved his hands.

Two guards came in from the door and dragged Tang Menghan away from the door.

"General, think twice before acting, don't forget your original intention."

Tang Menghan was dragged away, but the voice was still: War Room.

After a while.

Chen Hua came in from the outside. Seeing Liang Xiao's complexion, she pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Secretary Tang has a straightforward temper. What can you say to make you angry? Don't bother with her. After all, she is still young. Sensible."

"she is small"

Liang Xiao said coldly: "She's 23 years old, how young is she? This is the headquarters, with military orders like mountains, and she's a confidential secretary. She talks about military affairs indiscriminately, and her confinement is light."

Chen Hua was thinking about how to talk to the general, judging from his expression, he was angry at the moment, if he pleaded for Tang Menghan, it might backfire.

"General, what's the fight between you and Secretary Tang?"

Liang Xiao kept silent with a cold face, he was also annoyed in his heart, and Tang Menghan spoke without restraint in front of him, so he was a little angry.

Of course, being angry is all about being angry, and he didn't want to do anything to Tang Menghan, after all, Tang Menghan had been with him for such a long time, and he always had personal feelings.

"General, from my humble opinion, at this time, it is inconvenient for the troops of our Central Army to continue attacking Taiyuan. It is better to let the New Tenth Army turn around and help the Jinsui Army annihilate the Fifth Division's troops in Jinzhong, and then fight with the Jinsui Army Let’s attack Taiyuan together, if Taiyuan is really in ruins at that time, this responsibility will not be borne by you, but by Commander-in-Chief Yan in the World War II zone, after all, he is the highest military and political officer in Jindi.”

Chen Hua considered the issue from the standpoint of Liang Xiao's personal gains and losses.

"It's absurd to talk about responsibility at this time."

Liang Xiao said slowly: "Seishiro Itagaki of the fifth division is a lunatic, he wants to drag our troops and the whole city of Taiyuan to be buried for him, but I won't give him this chance."

"What does the general want to do"

Chen Hua asked.

"There is only one way. Let the secret agents of the Northern Bureau lurking in the city look for opportunities to detonate the explosives. In this way, even if civilians suffer casualties, the spread will not be too wide. At that time, our troops will enter the city and quickly control the situation. , there is still room for redemption.”

Liang Xiao said.

"The general is right to exchange the life and death of the whole city with a small number of people."

Chen Huadao.

"I also thought about withdrawing the army here, but I can't. Once we withdraw, the devils will use this kind of trick frequently in the future. How should we deal with it? Do we have to continue to compromise? In that way, when will we be able to kill the Japanese invaders?" Get out of the country."

Liang Xiao sighed.

"Secretary Tang doesn't understand the general's embarrassment, and I can understand your feelings, general. No matter what, this matter is not conducive to future development. We can only cut the mess quickly and put an end to this matter."

Chen Huadao.

"After following me for such a long time, Wanwan has learned a lot."

Liang Xiao said.

Chen Hua smiled lightly: "I've been with you for so long, and your humble position is the most clear about your temper. You seem to be very angry, but in fact, you are just... angry for a while. After all, Secretary Tang is also for the survival of the people. You were arguing."

"Speaking and talking, I'm still talking to her."

Liang Xiao said lightly: "Just lock her up for a few days, nothing will happen to her."

After speaking.

He looked cold and solemn, and said: "Go to the confidential department yourself, and send electricity to the Northern Bureau, so that they can look for opportunities to detonate the explosives, and avoid innocent casualties as much as possible. It is raining heavily now, and the explosives are easy to get wet. They can take... ...The method of water attack allowed the Japanese army to flood all the explosives in the city, so that the explosives became a pile of discarded explosives.”
