In Taiyuan City, there was already a roar of wind at this time, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke.
The Japanese gendarmerie was searching house to house. Anyone who found suspicious persons was immediately thrown into the gendarmerie's prison.
The purpose of throwing them into the prison was not to interrogate these people, but to facilitate their gathering and shooting them directly.
They have now reached the point where they would rather kill the wrong person than let them go.
What's more, when they usually raid, killing innocent people is commonplace, so naturally they don't feel any guilt.
Most of the people closed their doors and went out to buy groceries, but basically didn¡¯t go out at all.
The streets of Taiyuan City were empty at this time, with only the occasional patrol team running through the streets in neat steps.
?????????Otherwise it¡¯s the roar of motorcycles and the sound of trucks roaring past.
At this time, sufficient troops have been stationed in all strongholds and defensive positions outside Taiyuan City.
At the same time, the Japanese army deployed two more brigades in the southern Shanxi area to support Taiyuan City.
They will arrive in Taiyuan City by train tomorrow.
Taiyuan City is to the north. This direction is the key direction for the Japanese army to defend Taiyuan.
Because the main force of the Fourth Army led by Xia Yang will launch a fierce attack on Taiyuan City in this direction.
They have set up five lines of defense here, with hundreds of blocking positions, large and small. It can be said that he is armed to the teeth.
In order to cope with Xia Yang¡¯s tank offensive, Okamura Neiji recruited a large number of civilians to dig trenches and various anti-tank trenches.
Xia Yang didn¡¯t leave them much preparation time, so their trench digging was relatively rough.
Many permanent fortifications outside Taiyuan City have not yet been fully constructed.
Inside Okamura Neji¡¯s headquarters, Takeda Junpei¡¯s eyes were bloodshot.
He has been analyzing all kinds of intelligence coming from the scout troops in the past few days.
The main contents of this information are the movements of Xia Yang's troops, their possible attack routes, and the number of troops.
He put the compiled information in front of Okamura Neiji and said: "General, this is the information from the past few days. The latest information is that the enemy's troops have successfully entered Xinzhou City.
At the same time, on the day the enemy entered Xinzhou City, they began to conduct a large-scale cleanup of our army's informants hidden inside.
After two rounds of cleaning up, basically all the informants we had in Xinzhou City were knocked out, with only a few remaining in the city to provide us with enemy intelligence. "
Okamura Neji took the stack of information and read it carefully.
Most of the information inside is of no practical use.
"The enemy moved very quickly. Their troops had just gone through a big battle, but they only rested for three days before attacking our army. This is a very terrifying enemy." Okamura Neiji tapped his fingers on the table. intelligence reports.
Takeda Junpei nodded and said: "Yes, it is very scary. The most important thing is that according to intelligence, the enemy's morale is very strong at this time.
And many ordinary people voluntarily joined their transportation teams to transport grain, grass and other supplies for them.
This has reduced the enemy's logistical pressure a lot. I'm thinking that if the enemy's logistical problems are solved, then our battle will become more difficult. "
Hearing this, Okamura Neji¡¯s frown deepened.
"Let's forget it. The people here support those enemies.
There are many of them who are willing to cover their whereabouts, are willing to provide them with help, and are willing to serve as a transport team for them. "Okamura Neiji said, "This nation should not be underestimated. "
Takeda Junpei said: "A long time ago, when our army began to attack the mainland of China, someone in the General Staff Headquarters said that China would be destroyed within three months.
But now that this battle has been fought for four years, we still have not seen any end. This may be the biggest mistake we have made, that is, we underestimated the cohesion of this nation in times of crisis. "
"That's right." Okamura Neiji nodded, "Before we took large-scale military action against them, the warlords and parties in this land were still conquering each other, eager to crush each other to ashes.
But during the Battle of Songhu and our attack on Pingjin,??You can see it. The warlords who were still rejecting each other suddenly became one and rushed to the battlefield to fight bloody battles with our army.
I once participated in the bloody battle of Songhu. Many of the enemy's troops at that time only had two or three people with one gun, and bullets and other weapons and equipment were extremely scarce.
But these people managed to withstand our army¡¯s large-scale attack for a month. It is said that the enemy with the fiercest fighting, an enemy division with thousands of people, would be wiped out within less than a day of entering the defensive position, but no one chose to withdraw from the position. "
Okamura Neji nodded and said: "Arrogance will lead people to destruction, just like the main force of the enemy who attacked our Taiyuan City this time.
Xia Yang, who was just a battalion commander of the national army at the beginning, was almost wiped out by our army in the south of Peiping.
Later, he ran to Mancheng, where he recruited troops and had a bloody battle with our army.
A division of our army attacked that small town for a week, but he was allowed to escape. "
" Takeda Junpei has already read the information about Xia Yang in advance. Those are the information about Xia Yang that the Special High School has obtained through various intelligence channels.
"Later he entered the Taibai Mountains and fought guerrillas there. Even at the Nomonhan station in the north, there were traces of his activity. The losses caused to our army were not insignificant." Takeda Jun Pingdao.
"If we had crushed this guy like an ant in Mancheng, maybe the situation in Shanxi would not have developed to this extent." Okamura Neiji said.
Takeda Junpei nodded. In fact, he didn¡¯t think of these reflections until now. It was already a little too late. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
