Chapter 314 A close call!
Taiyuan.

Japanese Army Command.

Yoshio Shinozuka is receiving Momoyo Nagaki Nomura from the 2nd Konoe Division.

Kunomura Momoyo succeeded Akira Muto as the head of the 2nd Division of the First Army.

In fact, Kunomura Momoyo did not expect the First Army to serve as the commander of the 2nd Guards Division.

Because he heard that the First Army seemed to be a bit of a useless general, and several major generals were killed in battle.

Even on the first day when General Akira Muto arrived in Shanxi, he was bombarded by the Eighth Route, and the jade was broken after the rescue failed.

Who likes to come to such a dangerous place?
It's just that the military order is difficult to disobey, and Kunomura Momoyo can only bite the bullet and take office.

Although the Zhengtai Railway has been reopened to traffic, Kunomura Momoyo and the officers of the division headquarters did not dare to take the military column, but took a direct flight to Taiyuan Xincheng Airport after arriving in Peiping.

The reorganized Guards Division Engineer Wing and Artillery Wing have arrived in Yangquan, and logistical units such as the reorganized 3rd Wing and Engineer Wing are still on their way.

"Kuno-kun, this is the newly produced Biluochun in China this year, please."

Shinozuka Yoshio bowed his hands, and Kunomura Momoyo, who was kneeling opposite him, picked up the cup of tea and took a sip: "Good tea!"

Yoshio Shinozuka smiled and said, "If Kuno-kun likes it, I'll ask the guards to bring you a few catties when you go to Yangquan to take office."

Kunomura Momoyo did not refuse either, and said, "Then thank you, Commander."

"Your Excellency, Commander," Kunomura Momoyo said, "Although it is my first time to come to Shanxi, from the plane, there are plains and mountains in Shanxi. Our 2nd Guards Division has no cavalry units yet, and as far as I know , Balu has always been good at guerrilla warfare, if our department can have a cavalry regiment, it may be much better."

The standing divisions of the Japanese army generally have 2 brigades under their jurisdiction (each brigade has 2 infantry regiments), one regiment each for engineering, cavalry, artillery, and luggage, and a total of 8 regiments, plus a division headquarters and two brigade regiments. The non-combatants of the regiment headquarters totaled 28200.

The three-unit division reduced the cavalry wing and changed it to a cavalry brigade, and some divisions even did not have a cavalry brigade.

Although the 2nd Guards Division was adapted from the [-]st Guards Division and has always been in Japan, there is no cavalry unit.

"Kuno-kun, it's not that I don't give you cavalry, but that I don't have many cavalry anymore."

Shinozuka Yoshio said: "There used to be a Black Island Cavalry Regiment, and when they fought with the Eight Route Army in Qi County, all jade pieces were broken."

"A while ago, the 13th Regiment of the [-]st Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army's Mongolian Army was defeated by the Eighth Route Cavalry in the Niangziguan area, and suffered heavy losses."

"Is there such a thing?"

Kunomura Momoyo narrowed his eyes, the Eighth Route Army has such a powerful cavalry unit?
"Kuno-kun, don't worry, the Guards Division has powerful machine guns and artillery firepower, and the Eighth Route Cavalry is not to be feared."

"With Type [-] light machine guns and Type [-] heavy machine guns on the front, the Eighth Route Cavalry will not be able to exert their advantages."

Seeing Kunomura Momoyo's expression, Shinozuka Yoshio said a few words of comfort.

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Kunomura Momoyo paused, "Then I will take up my post in Yangquan tomorrow."

"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio said happily, "The 2nd Guards Division will be handed over to Kuno-kun. From Taiyuan to Yangquan, there is a mobile brigade stationed every 10 kilometers. It is absolutely safe, but you can keep it. Reached Yangquan safely."

"Thank you, Commander, then I can go there with peace of mind!" Kunomura Momoyo thought Shinozuka Yoshio specially arranged for him, and he couldn't help feeling a little grateful in his heart.

"Kuno-kun, you're welcome." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "Whether it's Taiyuan or Yangquan, it's still very safe. As for the roads and railways between them... I will arrange to build an airport in Yangquan. In the future, Kuno-kun and near When the officers of the Guards Regiment arrive in Taiyuan, they don’t need to take a train or a car.”

"Thank you, Commander!" Kunomura Momoyo stood up and nodded.

Although Shinozuka Yoshio's move was to win him over and make him work hard on the battlefield in the future, but Kuno was really grateful for this.

The head of the division has a lot of power, and it often happens in the Japanese army below the head of the division. Yoshio Shinozuka is also afraid that he will not be able to suppress the lieutenant general from Tokyo.

After all, it will be up to Kunomura Momoyo to lead the 2nd Guards Division to deal with the Eighth Route Army in the future.

"Boom!" At this moment, a huge explosion sounded from the south of the city.

"Nani?" Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the south of the city. He had been in the battlefield for a long time, so he could hear the explosion of a bomb just now.

Listening carefully, dense gunshots rang out, and the gunshots were mixed with explosions.

Yoshio Shinozuka's complexion gradually turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Just now, in front of Kunomura Momoyo, he boasted that Taiyuan City is absolutely safe, and an attack occurred in Taiyuan City in the next minute. Isn't this a slap in the face in seconds?
Shinozuka Yoshio walked quickly towards the phone, picked up the phone and quickly shook the handle.

Then he put the phone to his ear: "Moses, Moses, ask Kasai-kun to come see me immediately."

A few minutes later, Communications Staff Toshimatsu Kasai walked into Yoshio Shinozuka's office quickly, and said to Yoshio Shinozuka, "Your Excellency, Commander!"

At this time, the gunfire from the south of the city became more and more intensive, accompanied by the explosion of grenades.

Shinozuka Yoshio asked with a sullen face, "Kasai-kun, what's the matter with the gunshots and explosions in the south of the city?"

"It's not clear yet. The telephone lines in the south of the city seem to have been cut, and the south wall and the military depot in the south of the city cannot be contacted."

Kasai Toshimatsu said suddenly: "However, the Ministry of Communications has dispatched communications troops to investigate, and the Gendarmerie and Imperial Association Army are rushing over."

"Whoever wreaks havoc in Taiyuan City will never leave alive."

Hearing that the Gendarmerie and the Imperial Coalition Army were rushing, Shinozuka Yoshio's face relaxed slightly: "Kasai-san, send an order to the Gendarmerie to kill all the attackers!"

"Hi!" Kasai Toshisong paused, then walked out quickly.

"Wait!" Shinozuka Yoshio called him again.

Kasai Toshimatsu hurriedly turned around, and Shinozuka Yoshio said again: "Leave a life alive, I want to see which force behind the scenes dared to attack in Taiyuan City."

In his opinion, the Japanese army and the imperial association army are everywhere in Taiyuan City, and the enemy dares to attack in Taiyuan City, which is undoubtedly a suicide attack.

After Kasai Toshimatsu left, Shinozuka Yoshio turned around and said, "Kuno-kun, are you interested in following me to the inner city wall to watch a good show?"

"According to Your Excellency Commander's arrangement." Kunomura Momoyo said.

Shinozuka Yoshio and Kunomura Momoyo walked out of the office and arrived at the door, just in time to meet Kusuyama Hideyoshi who hurried over.

"Open the way!" At that moment, Shinozuka Yoshio, Kusuyama Hideyoshi and Kunomura Momoyo, surrounded by a group of staff officers, headed towards the inner city wall.

……

In the "Royal Army Rest House", the battle has become intense.

Duan Peng led the first team to occupy the commanding heights on the second floor, and Li Changshun led the second team downstairs. The upstairs and downstairs opened fire on the devils and puppet troops outside.

The battle has lasted for 15 minutes. With the precise marksmanship of the members of the Sword Squadron, dozens of corpses of devils and puppet soldiers have been lying on the street in front of the "Royal Army Rest House".

After another wave of more than a dozen devils and puppet soldiers who charged were killed, the devils and puppet soldiers were frightened by this precise marksmanship, and they did not dare to attack rashly.

More than a hundred devils and puppet troops surrounded the rest place.

The Sword Squadron is also running out of ammunition, and if they persist for another 5 minutes at most, the ammunition will be exhausted.

Although the devils were killed and some pistols, rifles and ammunition were seized, the devils did not bring much ammunition when they went out, which could not solve the problem.

The devils did not attack, and Team 1 and Team 2 did not take advantage of this to break through.

At this time, the reinforcements of the devils and puppet troops arrived, increasing to more than 200, and the streets were densely packed with devils and puppet troops.

Duan Peng and Li Changshun knew very well that with the passage of time, more and more devils and puppet troops must have gathered, but there was no sign of Wei Dayong and the others.

"Duan Peng, what should we do now?" Li Changshun walked up the stairs to Duan Peng on the second floor with a gun in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't we take the initiative to rush out to find the deputy captain and the others?"

"no!"

Duan Peng looked stern, and shook his head decisively: "It was okay to rush out at first, but now there is only one dead end."

Even if he rushed out at the beginning, he would be blocked in a certain alley by the devils and puppet troops who rushed over, waiting for Wei Dayong and the others to rescue them with tanks.

It's better to fight the devils in the devil's rest center. Compared with the alley outside, it's easier to defend here.

After all, the two teams were in the alley, and the devils and puppet soldiers could throw them away with a few grenades or hand grenades.

But here, you can be condescending, as long as the devils and puppet soldiers dare to take the lead, they can shoot their heads at any time.

Several devils and puppet soldiers were headshot when they threw grenades. The grenade fell at the feet of the devils and puppet soldiers, and the nearby devils and puppet soldiers were blown upright.

"The deputy captain and the others haven't arrived yet, they may be in trouble."

Li Changshun took a deep breath and said, "We can't sit still. Two brothers in our 2nd team were injured. If this continues, our 2 combat teams will be fucked up."

"Our first team also injured two brothers." Duan Peng said, "This group of devils and puppet troops are not afraid of them. What we fear most now is the artillery of the devils."

Li Changshun glanced out the window, just in time to see a 50-type infantry gun pushed by a few devils and shooting at Zhu Yuan on the street [-] meters away.

"Fuck, you crow mouth." Li Changshun exclaimed, "Type [-] infantry artillery!"

"Where is it?" Duan Peng's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

The power of the [-]-type infantry artillery can even penetrate the artillery tower, let alone the house. This brick building is no different from paper in front of the [-]-type infantry artillery.

When Duan Peng was questioning, Li Changshun had already fired.

"Crack!" "Crack!" After two gunshots with a short interval, the two devils behind the [-]-type infantry artillery were shot in the head and fell down.

Although the [-]-type infantry artillery has a protective shield, but from the second floor, the pistol can shoot the devil artillery who is bent over.

Li Changshun quickly changed his position after killing the two devil artillerymen. The next moment, there was a loud gunshot, and dense bullets shot towards the place where he had just shot.

Fortunately, this is a brick building. If it were a wooden building, they would have been beaten into a sieve by the devils and puppet troops downstairs.

Li Changshun and Duan Peng looked down through the window again. The Devil Artillery got a steel plate from somewhere and put it in front of the Type [-] infantry artillery.

Duan Peng raised his hand and hit the steel plate twice, sparks flew everywhere, but failed to penetrate the steel plate.

"Fuck!" Seeing this scene, Duan Peng twitched his cheeks and shouted, "The devil is about to fire, retreat!"

Duan Peng reached the stairs in two or three steps, and then jumped down, followed by Li Changshun and several team members who jumped from the second floor to the first floor.

Less than 3 seconds after the last team member jumped down, there was a violent explosion above his head, like a heavy hammer hitting a big drum in his ears, and everyone's brains were buzzing.

A puff of choking gunpowder smoke swooped down from the stairs, and the second floor was blown up by the devil's Type 2 infantry artillery.

If Duan Peng hadn't given the order to retreat in time, if they were still on the second floor, they would have all been killed by the devil's gun at this time.

But Duan Peng knew very well that the devil definitely had more than one shell.

"Get the fuck back inside, move fast!"

Following Duan Peng's loud shout, everyone quickly retreated to the inside, with 6 brothers guarding behind them. The devils and puppet troops attacked once from the back door, but were repelled.

The devils and puppet soldiers on the street were overjoyed when they saw that the 2 infantry artillery had blown up the second floor, which had been unable to attack for a long time, and the enemy was silent.

A devil, the major, smiled with satisfaction. He fought well, and a few more shots will be enough.

"Boom!" There was another explosion, and this time it was not the brick building in front that was blasted into the sky, but the [-] infantry artillery that had just been fired.

"Nani?" Major Devil turned his head to look anxiously, and saw 2 tanks appearing on the corner of the street. These 2 tanks were coming side by side, and the muzzle of one of the tanks was smoking.

The heavy machine gun on the other tank sprayed out a long tongue of flame, and the bullets lashed towards the devils and puppet soldiers squatting on both sides of the street like long whips.

The devils and puppet soldiers with their backs on the tanks were shot directly by machine guns, and fell down in a pool of blood one after another.

Although there was only one heavy machine gun due to lack of manpower, the devils and puppet troops had no choice but to eat bullets passively.

The heavy machine gun in Monk Wei's hands was both tricky and fierce. For every short burst or long burst, one to three devils and puppet troops must be hit.

The street is very wide, and the two tanks are advancing in style without appearing crowded. While Monk Wei fired with a heavy machine gun, another Type 2 tank fired continuously.

"Boom!" The four or five devils and puppet troops who were hiding behind a bunker were blown up into the air.

The two tanks drove very slowly, and the devils and puppet soldiers ran out from behind the bunker in fright, and fired at the two tanks while retreating.

But it's useless. Although the armor thickness of the Devil's tank is only about 10 mm, the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the Devil's puppet army can't penetrate it at all.

At this moment, on this little-known street in Taiyuan, a 1mm heavy machine gun and a 7.7mm tank gun showed amazing lethality.

This was almost a one-sided massacre, and the devils and puppet soldiers who were caught off guard were beaten badly.

The ghost and puppet army finally couldn't stand it anymore, lost the courage to resist, turned around and ran wildly, leaving a large body of corpses and then disappeared at the corner of the street.

The convoy stopped in front of the gate of the "Imperial Army Rest House", and everyone got out of the tank to look at the devil's rest house that had been blown down on the second floor.

Wang Gensheng honked the horn a few times, and the heads of Li Changshun and Duan Peng poked out cautiously.

Monk Wei grinned: "Duan Peng, Chang Shun, I heard that you are going to hitch a ride?"
