    Taiyuan is surrounded by mountains to the west, north and east, and there are still certain military fortifications. Major General Shanggang Budao believes that the existing fortifications can still be used to fight again, so he knows that the main force of the national army not only consists of armored troops, but also a large number of elite infantry.  The total number of miscellaneous troops in Taiyuan City is less than ten thousand, but Shanggang Martial Arts has no intention of withdrawing from Taiyuan.

    "Moreover, Shanggang Martial Arts has received a telegram from the North China Front Army Headquarters. Reinforcements have already set off from Jinan, with a full division of troops.

    In addition, the main force of the First Army has also withdrawn from the Henan battlefield, and the first batch of troops is expected to return to Taiyuan in two days.

    In other words, no matter how powerful the Chinese army is, Shanggang Martial Arts only needs to be supported for two days.

    ????????????? It may not be practical if it takes a long time, but if it takes two days, I am still very confident in Shanggang Martial Arts.

    Besides, in addition to the seven or eight thousand regular troops in Taiyuan City, there are also a large number of Japanese expatriates. Most of them have served as soldiers. Therefore, according to the orders of the North China Front Army Headquarters, Shanggang Budo has armed them all.  When they got up, this group of people alone numbered five to six thousand people, which was also a considerable fighting force.

    The main force of the Japanese army stationed in Taiyuan is the Second Independent Guard Regiment. This infantry regiment is one of the newly formed garrison units, with a strength of 3,300 people. One-third of the troops are veterans, and the rest are new recruits.

    In addition, there is a railway guard of 800 people and a gendarmerie of 500 people in the city.

    There is also a puppet infantry brigade and a puppet police force of 500 people, for a total of 8,100 regular troops.

    In addition to the regular troops, the Japanese army armed more than 5,000 Japanese expatriates. In addition, there were many escorts from the traitors¡¯ homes in the city who were also recruited to the front-line battlefield. These people totaled more than 2,000 people.

    Therefore, the actual defensive force that Major General Shangang Martial Arts can use is still considerable, more than 15,000 people.

    These troops were deployed by the Japanese army in the east and west of the city, as well as in the city gates and city areas. According to Shanggang Budao's plan, they first used the peripheral fortifications of Taiyuan City to consume a large number of national troops, and then relied on the city wall to prevent the Japanese troops from entering the city.

    Finally, after the reinforcements arrived, they immediately launched a counterattack, and the center blossomed, defeating or even annihilating the enemy forces outside the city in one fell swoop.

    "Boom boom boom"

    The battle started at 9:30 in the evening. At the beginning, the national army concentrated its firepower, launched a fierce bombardment of the defensive positions in the west of Taiyuan City, and launched a tentative attack on the forward positions with the cooperation of tanks.

    Not to be outdone, the Japanese army not only deployed a large number of firepower points on the front line, but Taiyuan City, as the headquarters of the First Army, also stocked a large number of artillery. Therefore, the Japanese army deployed more than 50 mountain artillery and field artillery on the West Gate front alone.  The firepower is no weaker than that of the national army.

    What¡¯s more important is that the Japanese army built a large number of bunkers at the west gate. They were densely packed, at least hundreds of them.

    The power of the defensive position composed of bunkers, trenches, and dense light and heavy machine guns is unimaginable.

    I think that in the Battle of the Somme, the Germans used this model to severely damage the British and French forces.

    At that time, the main weapon of the army was still a single-shot bolt-action rifle. The infantry, with the company as the basic combat unit, still lacked support weapons that could fire continuously. It was against this background that heavy machine guns with automatic loading of bullets and suppressive firepower were born.

    ??The powerful power of heavy machine guns was also discovered in German military exercises before World War I.  The German army once used two mg08 heavy machine guns to cross-shoot 100 balloons in front of the position.  Everyone knows that small, wobbly balloons are very difficult to hit.  But after dozens of minutes of strafing, 99 of the 100 balloons were destroyed, which shows the area-killing capability of the heavy machine gun.

    Before the Battle of the Somme, the British and French forces were not unaware of the power of heavy machine guns, but they misjudged the form.

    Before the general attack, Britain and France conducted a saturation bombardment for seven days, using tons of artillery shells, almost destroying all the German front-line solid positions.  The British and French forces believed that since the position was destroyed, most of the German heavy machine guns must have been destroyed, so they launched a general attack.

    Unexpectedly, the German army had already made adequate preparations. Most of the heavy machine guns were hidden in anti-artillery bunkers or in second-line positions.  When the British and French forces launched a general offensive, all the German heavy machine guns were taken out of their bunkers and struck head-on.

    Taking the British army as an example, under the cover of artillery fire, they lined up in rows and charged towards the trenches where the German troops were entrenched.  Unfortunately, people are always much bigger than balloons.  Under the crossfire of heavy machine guns, British soldiers fell down and died in rows.

    ??????????? The artillery back then was mainly focused on direct fire, with very few direct-aiming artillery following the infantry, and even less mortars.  EnglishFacing the fire net of German heavy machine guns, there was nothing to do but suicidal waves of charges.

    In one day, the British army lost nearly 60,000 people.

    At that time, the German heavy machine gunners had never killed so many people.  These soldiers are also human beings. Before the war, they were mediocre and kind-hearted farmers or workers, and many of them believed in Christianity.  Seeing countless British soldiers being killed, some heavy machine gunners suddenly suffered mental breakdown and committed suicide during the shooting; some heavy machine gunners burst into tears and kept reading the Bible and repented; some heavy machine gunners became weak after killing.  Can you shout to the British army, "Retreat quickly, don't come to die"!

    In the Battle of the Somme, the British and French forces suffered as many as 800,000 casualties and only advanced 5 to 12 kilometers.

    Compared with World War I, the machine gun technology at this time has become more perfect and the firepower is more rapid. Moreover, Taiyuan City has the largest arsenal in North China, which can produce enough ammunition, so the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city are not short of ammunition.

    Therefore, Major General Shanggang Martial Arts believes that with such powerful fortifications, they can completely withstand the attack of the Chinese army and even severely damage it.

    But Li Guoyao had anticipated this situation a long time ago. War is always mutual. The Ninth Army used such tactics to greatly damage the Japanese army's effective forces. Now the Japanese army also uses such tactics to deal with them. This is fair.

    "However, Li Guoyao would not just let his troops rush forward and die like this, so during the battle planning stage, Li Guoyao had thought up a countermeasure and made considerable preparations for it.

    After the first attack on the front was repulsed, Jiang Feng immediately ordered the infantry to withdraw, and then ordered the secret troops to dispatch.

    The so-called secret force is actually the newly established anti-armor force of the Ninth Army. This force is divided into two parts. One part is an anti-armor force equipped with American-made bazooka rocket launchers, and the other part is equipped with Soviet-made anti-tank guns.  of troops.

    Although the establishment of these two units is not very large, with only one battalion each, the purpose of their formation is also to deal with the Japanese armored forces. To be precise, they are used to deal with the Japanese tank tanks on the North China battlefield.  Of the Third Division.

    But this unit is not only very strong in anti-armor, it is also very good at dealing with solid fortifications and firepower points.

    Therefore, Li Guoyao directly transferred all these two troops to Taiyuan, with the purpose of using them to deal with the strong fortifications outside Taiyuan City.

    Through the first round of attacks, Jiang Feng's troops basically figured out the specific layout of the Japanese firepower points at the front. It was time to dispatch this mysterious force.

    Following Jiang Feng¡¯s order, under the cover of dozens of Type 97 Chinese tanks, more than 30 shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and more than 50 soldiers carrying anti-tank guns appeared on the forward position.

    Anti-tank guns have a longer range, so they stopped 350 meters away from the forward position, and then began to set up their positions.

    The rocket launcher has a shorter range, so it can only continue to move forward, and finally stopped more than 200 meters away from the forward position.

    But this distance has already entered the strike range of the Japanese forward firepower, so the sound of gunfire on the entire frontier battlefield was very intense at this time, and the Type 97 tanks were also swaying, making the tank soldiers fight cautiously.

    But this situation did not last long, because the secret troops of the national army opened fire!
