To say that the total strength of our army in Jin Province is more than 400,000, the troops from Hebei Province have basically withdrawn to Jin Province, plus more local troops. However, many troops were pinned down and there were not many mobile troops.

Moreover, after finally building the liberated areas, our army is unwilling to engage in mobile warfare with the Japanese in the liberated areas.

"Defend the enemy outside the liberated areas", which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of defense.

Coupled with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the west, south and Jiang Wufa's side, our army faces millions of enemies. I don’t know how many millions of enemies can be mobilized in the future, maybe tens of millions!

This is undoubtedly the biggest crisis since the novel came out!

It is not difficult to imagine that our army's equipment is so good all of a sudden. After confirming that these equipment are self-produced, Jiang Wufa has only three choices: first, surrender and surrender; second, peaceful coexistence; third, rise up to resist.

Jiang Wufa would not choose the first two options because he was unwilling to do so; it was also not in the interest of Omanrik and other parties. Only the third one is in the interests of all parties except us.

However, Jiang Wufa and his family can't resist if they just rise up to resist. Even the little devils can't resist. What hope can Jiang Wufa have after being ravaged by the little devils?

We can only unite all our hostile forces to resist our army.

As a result, Omanrik provided technology and materials, Jiang Wufa and Plaster came to the rescue, and Xiong Da watched from a distance and remained neutral.

For us, it also brings some benefits:

Jiang Wufa's actions aroused great dissatisfaction among many Chinese people. You can't unite with anyone to plaster! Seeing that Jiang Wufa could not be stopped, many patriotic intellectuals and returned overseas Chinese switched to our side, promoting the development of our science and technology.

However, our army cannot calm down and engage in construction now.

The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief looked at the map together, and the air was filled with the smell of tension.

"Let the 386th Brigade conquer Taiyuan as soon as possible. They are our largest mobile force and cannot be suppressed by Taiyuan. The Independent Brigade cannot wait and wait. It must take the initiative to fight mobile warfare in Qin Province to expand our strategic maneuver space." The deputy commander said.

The 386th Brigade was not unable to conquer Taiyuan, but was worried about excessive casualties. We began to prepare to besiege Taiyuan. Anyway, most of the good people in the city had escaped, and the remaining Chinese people were basically bad people.

When the ghosts run out of ammunition and food before launching an attack, the casualties will be much smaller.

The commander-in-chief nodded: "Gu Shousan has just occupied Yanzhou, and the northern half of Qin Province is empty of troops. I think we can let the first part of the Independent Brigade move to the northern part of Qin Province to look for opportunities to annihilate the enemy. The main force of the Independent Brigade can look for opportunities to survive. Huanghe, concentrate the main force and carry out large-scale penetration and large-circuit operations."

"This requires Li Yunlong to be like Changshan Zhao Zilong, killing seven in and seven out of the enemy camp!"

The deputy chief of staff said: "The Independent Brigade is a mechanized force, and logistics is particularly important to them. They must ensure the safety of the Yonghe Pass crossing, where the engineering troops build a bridge across the Yellow River."

A few days later, the headquarters received a telegram from Lao Xier, claiming that our army was eager to capture Taiyuan, so street fighting was necessary. Casualties in street fighting will inevitably be relatively high. Instead of sacrificing the elite infantry of the 386th Brigade in street fighting, it is better to use them in field battles.

Therefore, Lao Xier asked his troops to invade Taiyuan. He was from Jin Province and would do his best to regain Taiyuan.

Lao Xi'er's army is located in the middle of Shanxi Province and is surrounded by our troops. He knows that there is no room for swing. This time I really plan to make an effort.

If our army is defeated, he will not survive!

When our army was recruiting personnel, we agreed to Lao Xier's request and supported Lao Xier with a batch of cloudburst grenades and a batch of body armor.

As long as the firearm is Lao Xier's own, if he changes the firearm, he has to train again, and there is no time.

The 386th Brigade used artillery fire to destroy all the buildings that were sure to have no people of their own. Lao Xier's troops entered the city from the east, south and west, and started a house-to-house fight with the Japanese.

The three city walls have long been captured by the 386th Brigade, and dozens of unmanned sniper units have been set up on the walls.

Souchong Kazuo also knew that the city wall was useless in the face of fierce artillery fire, so he did not deploy troops on the city wall at all.

Lao Xier used the tunnel detection device provided by our army to find the Japanese's underground material storage point and a large space suspected of being a headquarters. He drilled holes in the ground and placed explosives for blasting.

Almost all the food and ammunition stored by the Japanese underground were blown up. Even dozens of underground toilets and kitchens were blown up.

If you find a tunnel entrance, use a cloud blast grenade to blow it up. The Japs in the tunnel were either blown to death or suffocated to death.

The 386th Brigade and the Lao Xi'er Army cooperated quite well. The Japs hiding in houses or tunnels would be dealt with by Lao Xi'er's army; the Japs who dared to take the lead were shot dead by unmanned sniper units mounted on the city walls.

Seeing that our army was about to deliver the final blow, Souchong Kazuo pushed out all the hidden cannons after sending a farewell message. Some of the personnel were killed by sniper units before the cannons were fired; some fired. One or two shots were destroyed by our army's artillery fire.

Moreover, the Japanese had no time to take aim when they opened fire, so they hit wherever they hit. Anyway, we were surrounded by our troops.

This blind cat-killing-the-rat approach will achieve little results.

The biggest casualty caused to the Lao Xi'er Army was not the bullets shot from various firing holes and the grenades thrown out, but the Japanese suicide bomb attacks.

After two days and one night of fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops were left with only an area of ​​about 400 meters long and 400 meters wide near the north gate.

Seeing that he could no longer be a mouse, Souchong Kazuo led the remaining troops out of the tunnel, braved the hail of bullets, opened the north gate, stepped on the mines he had laid, and fled north.

In this battle, Lao Xier's troops suffered more than 3,300 casualties and 1,412 were killed. Body armor provides sufficient protection to soldiers, even if what is shot is not bullets, but shock waves from artillery shells, it is different with and without body armor.

Without these body armors, Lao Xier's casualties would have been twice as high!

Many of these dead were killed by Japanese suicide bombings. Body armor has almost zero protective effect against tens or even hundreds of kilograms of explosives.

In this battle, 15,000 Japanese and puppet troops were killed and wounded, and the enemy's remnant troops waded through the mine array, about 5,000. The remaining Japanese and puppet troops suffocated to death in the tunnel.

The escaping enemy troops could not run far, and they met Chu Yunfei's troops head-on.

Once they ran into the wild, facing weapons and equipment that were several generations apart, the Japanese had no power to fight back.

Chu Yunfei didn't wait for the Japanese to get closer, and used various artillery to drive the Japanese towards the center.

The 386th Brigade Artillery Regiment also adjusted the parameters of the artillery, and the shells hit the remnants of Souchong Yinan like an overwhelming force. Death-inducing flowers bloomed in the sky, countless arrows were shot down, heavy artillery shells fell on the ground, and countless large mushrooms popped up.

The brigade commander knew Li Yunlong's ability, and these shells could be replenished quickly. Therefore, there is no point in saving ammunition at all. Most artillery shells and rockets use fixed-height proximity fuses. Designed specifically for anti-personnel use.

Many Japanese and puppet soldiers wanted to surrender, threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and raised their hands.

But this action cannonball can’t be understood! I thought they wanted to open their arms and embrace Amaterasu. So he enthusiastically met their requests and gave them a ride.

Twenty minutes later, the remnants of Souchong Yinan who escaped from the city were completely wiped out. Including Souchong Yinan himself, there are no bones left.
