But this behavior was stopped by the frontline commander.
Because there are still many innocent people in Taiyuan City. Using machine guns to fire is likely to cause a large number of civilian casualties.
But the defeat of the Japanese army has become a certainty.
A large number of troops rushed into Taiyuan City from the broken city walls and the blasted city gates. Then, under the dispatch of the forward commander, the neighborhoods of Taiyuan City were occupied one by one.
Before entering the city, Xia Yang had already made a three-part agreement. All troops are not allowed to disturb the people of Taiyuan City. If robbery, murder, etc. are discovered, they will be shot immediately and will not be tolerated.
Okamura Neiji led the remaining 10,000 people to rush out from the south gate of Taiyuan City, and then broke out to the south.
In addition to the more than 10,000 people he took away, there are still thousands of remaining Japanese troops in Taiyuan City.
Naturally, these Japanese troops were unwilling to surrender easily. They relied on the barriers in the neighborhood to make their final resistance.
But this resistance is doomed to be in vain, because their commander has completely abandoned them. At this time, these Japanese troops could only wait until their ammunition ran out and were cleared one by one by Xia Yang's troops.
In one day, Taiyuan City was destroyed, which Xia Yang did not expect.
He originally thought that it would take at least a week or so to break through Taiyuan City, where tens of thousands of Japanese troops were stationed.
But now it seems that the Japanese army¡¯s vigor has been exhausted, and less than one-third of them were killed, so Okamura Neiji chose to retreat.
By five o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese resistance in the city was basically eliminated. Only a few scattered Japanese troops were left, still resisting.
Hearing the sound of gunfire gradually stopped, the people in Taiyuan City also came out of their homes. Seeing the streets filled with troops of the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army, they burst into applause and cheers.
The troops entering the city were welcomed by the people.
For them, in the days when they were occupied by the Japanese army, they lived with caution and fear. Now that they saw their troops rushing into Taiyuan City, they were naturally very excited.
Many common people would even stuff their own vegetables and eggs into the arms of the soldiers.
The Japanese military flag on top of the city was chopped down. The flags of the Eighth Route Army and the Fourth Army fluttered in the wind.
While the people and soldiers in the city were celebrating their victory, they were in the south of Taiyuan City, on the only way for the Japanese army to go to southern Shanxi.
The battle continues.
Several Japanese troops launched a desperate attack on the defensive positions of the Fourth Army in the south.
Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were divided into several troops and launched attacks at the same time.
Xia Yang deployed several armored regiments and infantry regiments in this direction, and also set up sufficiently tight defensive positions. But even so, there was still no way to completely stop the Japanese attack.
After all, their defense is dozens of kilometers wide, just like a huge fishing net. It is impossible to completely catch all the fish in the sea. They can only try to catch the larger fish.
Their troops did exactly that. To annihilate the larger Japanese troops as much as possible, and let go of the small Japanese troops that broke through.
Okamura Neji and his soldiers, numbering only more than a hundred, rode horses towards the southern Shanxi region.
Over there, he still has the strength of several divisions, although the casualties of these divisions have been very heavy. But after all, it is a place to stay.
He had already planned to withdraw directly into northern Henan with the troops from southern Shanxi without any hesitation.
On a high slope, Okamura Neji stopped his horse.
He turned his head and looked behind him where the smoke was rising.
There was still fighting over there, and his main troops were left in the smoke-filled area.
Only a few small groups of troops were able to escape by chance.
"General, it's time for us to leave. The enemy's armored forces may catch up at any time." A Japanese staff officer came over and said.
Okamura Neji said with serious eyes: "I am very sorry."
"What are you regretting?" the staff officer asked.
"We may never be able to return to this land." Okamura Neji said pessimistically. "This time we are driven away by them, and we may never come back."
The staff officer said: "General, why are you so?, this time we just want to shift the center of our strategy slightly because of the upper echelons of the empire. When things in the south are resolved, we will still have strong strength to launch a counterattack against the enemy.
And by that time, our strength should be stronger than now, and even these enemies may not be our opponents. "
Okamura Ningji said: "Really? I hope it is like what you said, we will counterattack one day."
With that said, Okamura Neji turned his horse's head and retreated to the southern Shanxi area.
He vaguely felt that the balance of victory in this war was tilted with the fall of Taiyuan City.
Although this tilt is very subtle, Okamura Neji knows that the future will only be more difficult than now.
In the vast mountains of Shanxi, a terrifying force has grown up. This force may even be a force that they cannot handle at all.
In the early morning of the next day, after the enemies in Taiyuan City were completely eliminated, Xia Yang entered Taiyuan City together with the main commanders.
People lined the streets to welcome him, and the streets were empty. On both sides of the spacious streets, the cheers of tens of thousands of people echoed over Taiyuan City.
A few years ago, this city was captured by the Japanese army. Now this city has been captured again by them. Just like they took back Datong, Chahar and other areas before.
On this day, the sky in Taiyuan City was as blue as the day it was captured a few years ago.
Only this time, the sky above Taiyuan City belongs to China and the people who have lived on this land for generations. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
