"Is the telegram sent directly to the Northern Bureau?" Chen Hua asked.
"Send it directly to the Northern Bureau."
Liang Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Humble job, go to generate electricity now."
Chen Hua turned around and went out.
Chapter 554 Rainy night, the national army broke through the city
New Tenth Army, Military Department.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening, thunder was rolling outside, and the rain was pouring down.
The military headquarters was built on the mountainside, and it was a temporary command post built with tarpaulins and wood.
Cao Xian sat on a temporary wooden chair with a slightly anxious expression.
The general asked him to retreat ten miles away from Taiyuan City.
He followed the general's order, but he only withdrew the large troops. Two or three miles outside the city of Taiyuan, there is still a regiment-level force of 2000 people stationed outside the city, closely monitoring all movements in the city, and waiting for orders from the military department at any time. .
"Military seat, rest for a while, it's already here, I guess there won't be any telegrams today."
Chief of Staff Yang Youguo said.
"You don't know the general, the more urgent it is, the more his telegrams will appear in the middle of the night."
Cao Xiandao.
"Have a cup of hot tea to keep warm first. We can't help you in the current situation. Don't think too much about it for now. Everything will be decided by the general."
Yang Youguo Road.
"No matter what the general decides, I will follow the general's order."
After Cao Xian finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Youguo.
"It goes without saying that I have been with the general for a long time, and I admire the general's personality and mind. No matter what decision the general makes, I will support it to the end."
Yang Youguo Road.
Dididi...the radio station has received the latest telegram.
"Army seat, the headquarters is calling. Your department should pay close attention to the movement in the city. If there is an explosion, attack the city immediately. Remember, there should not be too many troops entering the city."
The staff officer read out the telegram intact.
Cao Xian looked at Yang Youguo in surprise, and said, "The general must have reached a certain consensus with the Northern Bureau, and it is likely that the sound of the explosion was used as a signal."
"Military seat, we have to notify the frontline troops quickly, in case something happens in the city, we can't make timely countermeasures."
Yang Youguo Road.
"Immediately call the frontline troops and issue combat missions to them, and let them cheer up tonight. Even if the sky falls, I have to keep an eye on them."
Cao Xiandao.
"Yes."
Yang Youguo went down to make arrangements.
Early morning.
At two o'clock, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops seemed to be poured from the sky, converging into rivers on the ground.
Just at this time.
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the city, and the flames burst into the sky, reflecting the entire Taiyuan City like daytime.
Two miles outside the city, the forward troops of the New Tenth Army all entered a first-level combat state after hearing the explosion.
Ten minutes later, the forward troops launched an attack. In this attack, they summed up their previous failure experience and switched to iron shield soldiers to cover the infantry's charge.
The so-called iron shield soldiers are similar to the ancient shield soldiers. They hold a one-meter-long steel shield to cover the infantry gradually approaching the root of the city wall.
The iron shields in their hands were specially forged, so hard that within 100 meters, the three-eighth cover could not be pierced at all, and the bullets hit the iron shields, only splashing sporadic sparks.
With the iron shields, the attacking troops progressed very smoothly, and soon touched the bottom of the city wall. This time, taking advantage of the night and rain, the progress speed of the national army was completely beyond the imagination of the Japanese army.
The shield soldiers covered the blaster, who carried more than 200 kilograms of explosives, and came to the city gate. The blaster installed the nodes of the explosive, pulled out the fuse, and took out a match to light it.
Whoosh...fuse like a rat digging a hole, burnt to the dynamite pack in no time.
Boom.
after the bang.
The city gate was blasted open, and the huge red wooden city gate collapsed.
The siege troops poured into the city like a flood of beasts.
Da da da.
Fierce gunfire sounded at the gate of the city.
Because it was night and it was raining heavily, the devils defending the city couldn't see the siege troops below clearly, so they let the siege troops find a chance to break in.
But at the gate of the city, the devils set up machine gun positions, blocking the way of the attacking troops in a vertical and horizontal shape.
The battle was fierce, and the gates of the city were narrow, which was not conducive to the attack of large troops. Therefore, the Japanese army was in front, and it was difficult for the siege troops to enter for a while.
However, for this kind of close-range combat, the German submachine guns of the siege army came in handy. They could fire uninterruptedly without reloading bullets, and their firing speed was faster than that of machine guns and rifles.
After a while..., the devil's machine gun position was taken away by the siege troops.
A large number of national army troops entered the city. On a rainy night, the streets and alleys were full of gunshots.
Fifth Division Command.
Division commander Seishiro Itagaki paced anxiously in the command post, he knew that tonight was a special period, if he could get through tonight safely, the battle situation would have a chance to turn around.
Doi Yuanxian 2 [-] That...the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, secretly opened the gate of the city and escaped before dark.
He suddenly hated this man to the extreme. As an imperial soldier, being so greedy for life and fearing death is really embarrassing for the senior generals of the empire.
However, hate is disgusting, he didn't report the escape of Kenji Doi Madoka 2, so he gave this old classmate a break.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the city gate has been broken, and the Chinese army has entered the city."
A staff officer yelled in shock.
"Nani"
Itagaki Seishiro said in shock, he didn't hear the sound of the cannon at the command post, why the city gate was broken, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the troops in the city are relying on the streets and alleys, launching fierce street battles, it may not last long."
Staff said.
"Pass down the order to detonate all the explosives. I want this city to be burnt together with Liang Xiao's troops."
Seishiro Itagaki said crazily.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the lurking military agents in the city detonated the explosives on You'an Street, causing the explosive nodes installed on the street to explode. The new explosives have not yet been installed. If the explosives are detonated at this time, only half of the city will be blown up."
Staff said.
"how so"
Itagaki Seishiro wanted Taiyuan City to be turned into a ruin, not half of it.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please wait a little longer. It is raining heavily outside now, and the explosives must not get wet with the rain. Moreover, military command agents are everywhere in the city, so we must prevent them from sabotaging it."
Staff said.
"Where did China attack?"
Itagaki Seishiro asked.
"The Chinese army has entered from the north of the city and is attacking the west gate. It is estimated that in one or two hours, they will attack the division headquarters."
Staff said.
"Can you connect the explosives on You'an Street within one or two hours?"
Itagaki Seishiro asked.
The staff officer thought for a moment and replied, "It should be possible to connect."
"Yuxi, be sure to connect the explosives, and then detonate the whole city. My Fifth Division will collectively smash jades tonight, and dedicate our heroic bodies to His Majesty's Holy War and East Asian Jihad."
Itagaki Seishiro said.
Chapter 555 Itagaki wants to see the general
East of the city.
Suddenly, there was an explosion that soared into the sky.
The explosion sound was not made by the Japanese army, but the special agent of the military command took advantage of the Japanese army's full strength to fight the battle, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to detonate the fuse of the explosives installed by the Japanese army somewhere in the west of the city.
After the explosives in the west of the city were detonated, the Japanese army’s plot to detonate the whole city was basically half bankrupt. The special agents of the Northern Bureau of the Military Command were divided into multiple groups and tried their best to destroy the fuses of the Japanese army’s explosives. To prevent the Japanese army from detonating the explosives, they threw the Japanese army’s explosive packs on the street. Let the heavy rain wash away, and the explosives soaked by rainwater will become a pile of abandoned explosives.
The sabotage force of the military secret agents is very strong. They took advantage of the city's destruction and the Japanese army's large forces were fighting against the national army, and tried their best to destroy the Japanese army's plan to blow up the whole city, destroying all the explosive nodes installed by the Japanese army.
after an hour.
The troops of the New Tenth Army poured in from outside the city, and the Japanese army in the city became a cornered beast. In the face of absolute strength, the Japanese army fell apart like chickens and dogs, and was divided, surrounded and wiped out by the large army of the national army.
Japanese Army Command.
When Seishiro Itagaki, the head of the fifth division, learned that the national army had entered the city, he slowly pulled out...the saber bestowed by the Emperor himself. His eyes were full of madness. He faced the east and bowed from a distance. This bow, It was a farewell gift to the Emperor.
As a high-ranking general of the empire, he will fulfill his mission tonight to express his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.
"Watanabe-kun, you can detonate it."
Itagaki Seishiro said slowly.
"Hi."
Watanabe Jiro saluted respectfully. He knew very well that once the explosives detonated, the entire city would be reduced to a pile of ruins in an instant, and most of the people in the city would die, including Liang Xiao's troops and the warriors of the empire.
Watanabe Jiro came out from the headquarters, found the person in charge of the blasting of the entire city, Taro Yamazaki, and said, "Your Excellency, Commander Commander, detonate the explosives."
Taro Yamazaki looked distressed, and said slowly: "Mr. Watanabe, I just received the news that the explosive node we planted was destroyed by military special agents. The plan to blow up the entire city, I'm afraid..."
Watanabe Jiro was stunned, once the plan to blow up the whole city was shattered, it meant that all their previous efforts would be in vain. He hurried into the command post and reported the situation to the commander, General Seishiro Itagaki.
"General, I'm afraid the plan to blow up the whole city won't work. Military special agents have destroyed our explosive nodes..."
"Nani"
Itagaki Seishiro exclaimed in shock: "How could the military special agents destroy our explosive nodes?"
"I'm not very clear about this position. I only know that the military command spies acted very quickly. They took advantage of the fierce battle between our army and the Chinese army and detonated many explosive nodes, which made our plan to blow up the whole city aborted."
Watanabe Jiro said.
"Immediately detonate the rest of the explosives. Even if the entire city cannot be blown up, more than half of it must be blown up. Let the Chinese army know what it's like to die."
Itagaki Seishiro was already on the verge of madness, and shouted loudly.
"Hi."
Watanabe Jiro hurriedly left respectfully.
Just as he came out of the headquarters.
Outside.
The gunshots gradually approached.
The Chinese army surrounded from all directions and blocked all the entrances and exits of the headquarters.
The soldiers of the Fifth Division Command quickly entered the improvised position at the door.
But this kind of people, speaking to the national army with a large army entering the city, is like a mantis holding a chariot, overreaching.
Soon, the soldiers at the headquarters of the Fifth Division were cleared by the national army.
A large number of national troops rushed into the command post of the Fifth Division under the command of a colonel officer.
Bang bang bang.
