On the morning of December [-]th, in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan.

The vanguard of the 136th Division, nearly 3000 cavalry regiments, are less than ten kilometers away from Taiyuan City. Since yesterday afternoon, they have been galloping all the way, and have traveled nearly a hundred kilometers. They rested for a few hours at night. I ran for two hours under the leadership of the leader, and now I finally reached the outskirts of Taiyuan.

Sun Chuanzhi, the head of the cavalry regiment, saw that everyone hadn't eaten breakfast, and that the attack on Taiyuan would be a fierce battle, so he sent an order to everyone to rest where they were. [

Hearing the order from the head of the regiment, the soldiers got off their horses one after another, sat on the ground in groups of three or four, took out the dry food they carried with them, and began to eat. A few soldiers led their horses to search for water sources nearby, and gave the horses water and food for the horses. .

Just as the soldiers were eating, chatting together while sitting or half lying down, a soldier hurried to Sun Chuanzhi and reported that the outer observation post had discovered a large stronghold of the little devil two kilometers ahead.

After hearing the soldier's report, Sun Chuanzhi took out the map from his body and spread it out on the ground. He called several cavalry battalion commanders over, and everyone prepared to have a short meeting.

Before coming to Taiyuan, Zhang Yunfei had already told everyone about the deployment of Japanese troops in Taiyuan. After several months of spying by the special forces in Taiyuan, the distribution of the little devil's troops was clearly "touched".

The little devil stronghold mentioned by the cavalry warriors just now is one of the three large strongholds on the outskirts of Taiyuan. There are more than a dozen small strongholds on the outskirts of Taiyuan. , These three strongholds are all built with watchtowers and strong bunkers, and at least one squadron of little devils is stationed inside.

Zhang Yunfei's combat mission for the cavalry regiment is to destroy all the small strongholds on the outskirts of Taiyuan before the arrival of large troops. The three large strongholds, because there are strong bunkers and the cavalry regiment lacks heavy weapons, these three strongholds are waiting to be attacked. We will solve it after the big troops come.

The cavalry soldiers rested on the spot for an hour, and the meeting between Sun Chuanzhi and several battalion commanders had also ended. Looking at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and the large troops would arrive one after another in a few hours. , The cavalry regiment must destroy all the little devil strongholds within two or three hours.

Sun Chuanzhi got on his horse and said to the battalion commanders next to him: "Order the troops to assemble. The first battalion and regiment headquarters will attack from the front, the second battalion will attack from the left, and the third battalion will attack from the right. Quickly sweep away the Taiyuan city. For all the strongholds, remember, you must make full use of the mobility of the cavalry. When you encounter a large group of little devils, you must not be reluctant to fight, but get rid of them quickly. Two hours later, that is, exactly eleven o'clock, everyone will still gather here. Did everyone understand?"

"Understood, the regiment commander can rest assured that the mission will be completed." Several battalion commanders shouted in unison.

After finishing speaking, Sun Chuanzhi drove the horse and ran forward quickly. The soldiers followed up one after another. The team of thousands of people moved forward quickly along the flat wilderness without running far. Under the leadership of several battalion commanders, Next, the team divided into three streams of people and went forward.

Sun Chuanzhi's cavalry regiment headquarters and a battalion of nearly a thousand cavalrymen bypassed the large stronghold in front and galloped towards the nearby small stronghold. Because it was a flat wilderness, the little devil sentinels in the large stronghold spotted the soldiers led by Chen Hu. There were nearly a thousand cavalry, but the eighth cavalry on the opposite side did not intend to attack their own stronghold, but bypassed it from a long distance, and it seemed that they were going to the Xinzhuang stronghold not far away.

The little devil's sentinel hurriedly got off the observation post of the watchtower, and hurriedly reported the enemy's situation to the supreme commander of their stronghold, a little devil, a major. report to the headquarters in Taiyuan City.

Nearly a thousand cavalry led by Sun Chuanzhi arrived at the little devil's Xinzhuang stronghold in only 10 minutes. The little devil in the stronghold saw the galloping Eighth Route Army cavalry from a long distance.

The little devil looked at his own number, there was less than one team, and there were only five or six machine guns, and the Xinzhuang stronghold was not a concrete fortification, and the only two-story watchtower was still made of red bricks and limestone.

The little devil captain who is in charge of the defense here is full of despair and panic. It seems that he is going to explain here today. Thinking of this, the little devil captain hurriedly grabbed the phone, called the headquarters in Taiyuan City, and called support.

After finishing the phone call, the little devil captain personally picked up a crooked machine gun, passed through the shooting hole of the watchtower, and started shooting at the soldiers of the cavalry regiment hundreds of meters away. The two or three people who ran ahead The cavalry warrior was shot and died immediately.

But seeing that the distance was getting closer, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment shot at the shooting hole of the watchtower of the little devil one after another. The captain of the little devil had just finished firing more than a dozen bullets before he was blown away by the fierce firepower of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment He hit his head, red and white flowed all over the floor.

A little devil's deputy shooter next to him saw that the little devil captain was beaten to death, and he was brave enough to shoot with a crooked machine gun. Before he could pull the trigger, he was shot by several The bullets made a sieve.

The firepower of the cavalry soldiers of the Eighth Route Army was too fierce. The little devil's machine guns couldn't exert their due power at all, let alone the rest of the [-]-type rifles. [

At a distance of several hundred meters, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment arrived in an instant and approached the little devil's stronghold. The soldiers took out grenades one after another, pulled the fuse, and threw the smoked grenade into the shooting hole along the shooting hole. The little devil's watchtower.

A few muffled explosions came from the watchtower, and all the little devils saw their Amaterasu gone.

This kind of battle is not only staged here, the soldiers of the second battalion and the third battalion also experienced the same battle. The cavalry regiment destroyed more than a dozen of the little devil's strongholds in less than two hours at a small price. Hundreds of little devils can only dream of returning to Japan.

In Taiyuan city, the little devil's headquarters.

Since the battle started two days ago, Yoshio Kozuka felt that life was not easy. The Jinsui Army in the south attacked smoothly and has now reached Pingyao. It has been almost two days since the battle with the First Brigade of the Infantry. The First Brigade After two days of fighting, the [-]st Brigade suffered nearly a third of its casualties, the report said.

The 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the north is also restless. Since yesterday morning, it has carried out fierce shelling on the Xinkou position and broke through the first line of defense of the Xinkou position.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army had negotiated, or did they want to harm Taiyuan? A thought flashed in Yoshio Kozuka's mind.

Just as Yoshio Kozuka was thinking wildly, a little devil communication soldier quickly walked up to Yoshio Kozuka and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, you just received calls for help from various bases outside the city. A large number of Eighth Route Army cavalry appeared outside the city."

After listening to the report of the communication soldier, an ominous feeling shrouded Yoshio Kozuka's heart. Could it be that the Eighth Route Army crossed the Xinkou position and came to Taiyuan? If this is the case, then Taiyuan is in danger. There are only more than [-] soldiers in the army, just one infantry brigade.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Kozuka walked up and down the office anxiously. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was getting worse, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. Send a report to Beiping that Taiyuan has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army's Zhang Yunfei, and request reinforcements to speed up the march and quickly support Taiyuan."

Before he had time to wait for the little devil's messenger to stand at attention, Kozuka Yoshio eagerly waved to the little devil's messenger again: "Hurry up, go right away."

The little devil's communication soldier didn't even show respect, and immediately turned around and left Yoshio Kozuka's office, and hurriedly sent the report.
