    But this defensive method of the Japanese army is crazy enough. If other troops have not seen such a crazy attack method, they may be frightened and choose to retreat.

    But the tank troops and infantry troops attacking these Japanese troops were already familiar with these Japanese combat methods in Fanzhi County and other battlefields.

    So they didn¡¯t have any fear at all, and continued to advance bit by bit on the dilapidated Japanese positions very skillfully.

    In just one morning, they had penetrated several Japanese defense positions on the outskirts of Yangqu County and advanced under the city wall of Yangqu County.

    On the top of the dilapidated city wall, Takeda Junpei did not expect that the enemy's attack would be so sharp, leaving him without any backhand power.

    He once dispatched a regiment of troops to support the Japanese garrison outside the city.

    But the strength of a regiment, under the enemy's steel torrent, did not even make a splash.

    When Takeda Junpei heard that the 5th Division and the 21st Division were defeated, he thought they had command problems.  As for Seishiro Itagaki, who was the commander-in-chief, he felt that this person was somewhat unworthy of his reputation.

    As a result, now that he actually fought against Xia Yang's army, he had already realized it as soon as they came into contact.

    It¡¯s not that Itagaki Seishiro and Kawaheitaro didn¡¯t work hard, it¡¯s just that Xia Yang¡¯s troops are too fierce.

    Takeda Junpei put away his slight contempt for the two of them and thought about it seriously.  It is very admirable to think that Itagaki Seishiro was able to withstand the attack of Xia Yang's troops for nearly half a month in the Fanzhi County area.

    The tens of thousands of troops in Fanzhi County cannot resist the armored troops. How can they resist with so few people in their hands?

    " Takeda Junpei understood why Okamura Neiji said such depressing words. Okamura Neiji, who had always been as strong as stone, was even a little disappointed when he said such words.

    But now that he was fighting against Xia Yang's troops, he finally realized that he was still too arrogant.

    On the contrary, Okamura Neiji, although he has never actually fought against Xia Yang's troops, has a very clear understanding of the opponent's strength.

    "The enemy's attack has stopped." A soldier ran over and reported to Takeda Junpei.

    "I saw it, but they were just rotating their attacking troops. In the next wave of offensive, the enemy will directly attack the city wall." Takeda Junpei said.

    Having said this, he turned around and said to the Japanese brigade commander behind him who was responsible for stationing here: "Please be sure to hold on for one day before retreating to buy time for the consolidation of the Qinglong Town defense line in the rear."

    At this time, the Japanese brigade commander, whose face was full of cannon fodder, looked at Takeda Junpei and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

    He knew that the strength of the entire front was tight at this time, and it was almost impossible for him to get reinforcements and reserves.

    "I will choose the right time to engage in street fighting with the enemy. Even if the enemy wants to pass here, it will take more time." The Japanese brigade commander said.

    "please!"

    Takeda Junpei bowed slightly to him, then turned around and walked off the city wall, mounted his horse and ran towards Qinglong Town behind Yangqu County.

    The Japanese army still has two brigades and more than 10,000 troops at this location.

    This is the absolute focus of defense, and its strategic value even exceeds that of Yangqu County.

    Because Qinglong Town is located at the pass of two mountain ranges, the enemy's infantry can cross the mountains, but their armored forces cannot.

    To enter the northern part of Taiyuan City, Xia Yang's troops must capture Qinglong Town so that the armored troops can pass through.

    The Japanese army built three defensive positions on three slopes outside Qinglong Town.

    These three defensive positions echo each other and can support each other. They form a triangular posture and are very stable.  If the combination is good enough, it can withstand the attack of troops several times your own.

    In addition, the Japanese army also arranged a large number of machine gun bunkers in Qinglong Town to block the advance of Xia Yang and his troops and gain maximum time for Taiyuan City in the rear.

    The task given by Okamura Neji to Takeda Junpei is to hold on for five days and block the enemy's attack for five days.

    During these five days, Okamura Neiji not only completed the construction of some unfinished fortifications in Taiyuan City, but also began to call surrounding troops to return to Taiyuan City.

    Plus other quasi-military forces of the Japanese army? Forces, such as puppet troops, inspection troops, and even some local ruffians, were also fired and served as cannon fodder for the Japanese army to defend the city.

    At this time, Okamura Neiji had exhausted all his strength. In the past two days, he had gathered more than 30,000 people to defend Taiyuan City.

    Not long after Takeda Junpei left Yangqu County, Li Yunlong and Bian Qi's troops launched an attack on the city wall.

    They first used artillery to intensively bombard the city wall.

    The bombardment lasted for half an hour, and tens of thousands of artillery shells were poured onto the not-so-high city wall of Yangqu County.

    Under the continuous bombardment, the already shaky city wall collapsed in many places.  Several sections of the city wall were directly turned into ruins.

    If Xia Yang were here at this time, he would definitely feel very familiar when he saw the appearance of these city walls.

    Because when he led his troops to fight against the Japanese army in the city.  The walls all around the city were also bombarded by Japanese artillery fire and looked like this.

    At that time, they built temporary positions on these ruins to block the onslaught of Japanese troops.

    The Japanese troops holding on in this county also showed strong willpower.

    Under the leadership of their commander, when the bombardment ended, they immediately roared and rushed to the ruined city wall, using broken bricks to temporarily build defensive positions.

    And their city gate has been completely blown to pieces.  Infantry can even rush directly into the city gate.

    But at this time, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army no longer need to enter Yangqu County from the city gate.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
