When Lei Ming reacted, Yang Chen had already led Pa Er and others away.
As for the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion, under the leadership of their respective battalion commanders, they headed towards the north gate of Taiyuan City one step earlier.
……
Garrison Command.
After learning that the Huben Regiment had successfully recaptured the south of the city and the south gate, Fu Yisheng and the senior officers of the garrison were overjoyed.
They all praised Yang Chen and Huben Tuan without hesitation.
"Okay, without further ado, the next Japanese air strike is likely to come again.
Now that the Huben regiment has opened up the main route for our garrison to retreat, it is time for us to prepare to evacuate. "
Fu Yisheng first affirmed the achievements of the Huben Regiment in this battle, and gave a verbal commendation promise, and then began to discuss with all the staff and officers under his command about evacuating Taiyuan City.
And it was unanimously agreed by the top officials of the garrison.
Only Chen Qinghua, the commander of the 1st Independent Brigade who had participated in the first battle for the defense of the South Gate before, gave a different opinion: "Commander, we will retreat like this, leaving only one team of the Huben Regiment behind. That's right."
One of the staff adjutants frowned and retorted: "Brigade Commander Chen, if the army is withdrawing, there must be some troops left behind.
Furthermore, how can you say that a team from the Huben Regiment has lost its rear?Wouldn't all the armies withdrawing later pass through Taiyuan City, and then help the Huben Regiment to resist the Japanese army? "
"Adjutant Liu, you and I are both sensible people. To put it mildly, these troops that have withdrawn from the front line are the squadron returning to aid; to put it bluntly, they are the defeated troops that have been beaten back.
In the name of the name, in order to rush to Taiyuan City to return to defense as soon as possible, they packed lightly and abandoned or destroyed most of the heavy weapons. In fact, they just wanted to run away quickly.
As far as these troops still have some combat effectiveness, let alone their morale, I am afraid that when they return to Taiyuan City, they will continue to flee for their lives non-stop when they know that our garrison headquarters has withdrawn.
If we just leave like this, wouldn't it be sending the tiger ben regiment to the tiger's mouth? "
"Qinghua, how about this? I'll call the ministries right now, and ask them to retreat, and immediately cooperate with the Huben Regiment to cut off the rear and wait for the opportunity to evacuate."
At the critical moment, Fu Yisheng didn't want to make any mistakes at this time, so he couldn't help but propose to seek Chen Qinghua's advice.
"Commander, you should know that now these troops are only retreating in a panic, not to mention that the radio is not turned on, and they cannot be contacted at all.
Even if the radio station is turned on and can be contacted, after returning to Taiyuan City, they may not follow your order and stay and cooperate with the Huben regiment to break the rear. "
Fu Yisheng frowned and nodded. The 35th Army is his family property. No one knows better than him what kind of temperament these officers have, so he said, "Then according to Qinghua, what should we do now?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I support Commander Yang's point of view, you will lead the evacuation and transfer of the garrison headquarters first.
Then let me lead the 1st Independent Brigade to stay and cooperate with the Huben Regiment to break the rear. "
"This……"
Fu Yisheng fell into hesitation. To be honest, he was very happy and very supportive to have such loyal and patriotic generals under his command.
Helpless, at present, in Taiyuan City, except for the 1st Independent Brigade, there is no longer an organized army.
With the guard regiment and the rest of the scattered troops, once the Japanese army intercepted them on the way to retreat, the situation would be very bad.
Chen Qinghua saw the worry of Commander-in-Chief Fu Yisheng, so he said: "The area south of Taiyuan is still under our control.
Among them, the mixed corps originally dispatched by the Japanese army in an attempt to cut off our army's retreat was wiped out by the Huben regiment in the previous battle.
Therefore, as long as the Huben Regiment intercepts the Japanese pursuers in Taiyuan City, your retreat will be safe. "
"Since that's the case, I'll leave Qinghua to your 1st Independent Brigade and the Huben Regiment for the rest of the matter."
"Don't worry, Commander, we promise to complete the mission!"
Chen Qinghua got up, gave Fu Yisheng a standard military salute, then turned around and walked out the door.
……
At this time, Yang Chen had already led Pa Er's group to the north gate.
In order to pave the way for the army to attack Taiyuan City, the north gate of Taiyuan City was also taken care of by the Japanese Air Force.
A large number of houses in the north of the city were bombed and collapsed, turning into a large piece of ruins, and even the city wall was blasted with several gaps of different sizes.
When Yang Chen arrived at the north gate, Xu Ming and Li Da, who arrived first, had already led the soldiers of the second and third battalions, and began to use and rely on these ruined buildings to construct the defense line inside the city.
The position of the city wall is too obvious. The next attack of the Japanese army will inevitably be supported by aerial firepower from the air force.
If you completely rely on the city wall as your line of defense and deploy all the soldiers of the Huben Regiment on the city wall. .
It is very likely that the Huben regiment was disabled by the Japanese bombing at the beginning of the battle.
……
Chapter 520 Decisive Battle in Taiyuan
Yang Chen led Pak Er up to the city wall, standing on it, with a wide field of vision, he could clearly see the situation outside the city.
Now, the outside of the city seemed to be calm, but Yang Chen knew that it would not be long.
With the withdrawal of a large number of garrison troops and the approach of the Japanese chasing soldiers, this place will become a purgatory on earth.
And this open land outside the city will become the burial ground of the little devil!
With corpses lying everywhere and rivers of blood flowing, it was only a matter of time.
Afterwards, Yang Chen turned his gaze to the city gate and the places where the city walls collapsed, and said to Rake's ear: "Rake's ear, bring some brothers, and get more stones and wood. Build a few more ring fortifications."
"Tuan Zuo, what do you mean, we want to pull the line of defense outside the city?"
Raking his ears, he asked suspiciously.
"Not bad!"
Yang Chen nodded, and then continued: "The city wall is the first and strongest line of defense, we must defend it as much as possible.
Even if you can't hold it, you must use this line of defense to cause the greatest possible casualties to the enemy.
Just using the city wall as the line of defense is too simple, and it may be taken care of by the Japanese air force and field artillery.
Therefore, we must diversify and three-dimensionalize the line of defense.
Only in this way can we ensure that our army will not be damaged fundamentally when it is bombarded by heavy Japanese artillery. "
"Well, I see.
The reason why we set up the circular fortifications at the gaps in the city wall and at the gates of the city is also to make it easier for the brothers to withdraw into the city smoothly, right? "
