    At six o'clock in the morning, after more than an hour of rapid march, the armored troops of the Ninth Army finally arrived in Gujiao County, more than 40 kilometers away.

    Compared with Jingle and Loufan in front, the atmosphere in Gujiao did not seem to be tense. The Japanese army did not set up any blocking defense lines along the way, wasting a lot of places with difficult terrain.

    However, when the chariot troops arrived outside Gujiao City, they found that the lights outside the city were brightly lit and there were Japanese soldiers and Chinese people everywhere.

    Under the supervision of these soldiers, tens of thousands of people are working, and the entire west of Gujiao City is like a large construction site.

    No need to think about it, these Japanese soldiers must have felt that the situation on the frontier was not good, so they forced the people in the city to build fortifications for them.

    But it is a pity that the national army arrived too quickly, so their fortification could not be put into use at all.

    At the moment, Jiang Feng ordered the armored regiment to immediately go into battle, first crushing the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, and then rushing into Gujiao City.

    After receiving the order, more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles immediately rushed towards the Japanese and puppet troops who were building fortifications outside the city.

    When these tanks and armored vehicles appeared in the west of the city, they quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese army.

    Like the Japanese troops in Loufan, the Japanese troops in Gujiao thought they were their reinforcements at first, but soon realized something was wrong and immediately blocked them.

    But this was originally a construction site. Although many trenches had been built, no main troops were stationed. At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city were just temporary supervisors.

    They had guns in their hands, but they did not have anti-tank weapons, and ordinary firearms did not pose any threat to tanks. So within a few minutes, the armored regiment of the Ninth Army rushed into the forward position and continued to use vehicle-mounted weapons.  Machine guns harvested the lives of Japanese and puppet troops.

    At the same time, some tanks rushed towards the Gujiao City Gate not far away and entered the city.

    "Compared to Lou Fan and Jingle, the garrison in Gujiao is not only smaller, but also more lax in defense.

    In the face of the thunderous offensive of the Jiujiu Army, their resistance was so weak. By 7 a.m., the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Gujiao City was defeated, and the remaining troops withdrew to Taiyuan City forty kilometers away.  Annihilate.

    At this time, the sky was already turning white, and the sun would come out in less than half an hour, so Jiang Feng did not order the troops to continue the attack, but instead stationed themselves at Gujiao.

    In addition, the follow-up troops are still in Jingle, which is dozens of kilometers away. The distance between them is a bit large, so let¡¯s wait for the troops behind us!

    At this time, the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan City already knew that the Chinese army had conquered Gujiao. Both Major General Shangang Martial Arts and other people in the First Army Headquarters were completely confused. Overnight, Jingle and  Lou Fan and Gujiao's more than 13,000 defenders were finished, which was completely beyond their knowledge.

    Although the more than 10,000 defenders are mainly puppet troops, and the total strength of the Japanese army is less than 4,000, but it is still 4,000 people. How can it be over after being unable to hold out for one night?

    Soon, the Japanese and puppet troops who fled to Taiyuan City told the truth. It turned out that the Chinese army had an organized armored force, no less than a tank regiment.

    When the news reached Beiping City, Okamura Neji and others suddenly felt thunder rolling from the sky.

    How come the Chinese army has a chariot unit, and it is so large? You must know that chariots are not ordinary weapons and equipment. Not only are they expensive, but they are also difficult to maintain. During combat, they require both fuel and ammunition. They are completely useless.  How can that person afford to feed the gold-swallowing beast?

    But the fact is right in front of us. The Chinese army not only has armored units, but also has formed a strong combat effectiveness.

    More importantly, the opponent has arrived at Gujiao and will soon be at the gates of Taiyuan City. This will definitely be a test for the First Army.

    At this time, the 114th Division has not yet set off. Even at the fastest speed, I am afraid that it may not be able to reach Taiyuan before the enemy attacks the city.

    The Front Army Headquarters had asked the First Army Headquarters before and learned that the current garrison force in Taiyuan City only has one infantry regiment plus one military police force. There is also a railway garrison in the city, which adds up to less than 5,000 people.  arrive.

    As for the army, aside from the powerful armored force, there are tens of thousands of field troops in the west alone. How can we defend this city?

    Fortunately, Taiyuan City has deep walls and high fortifications. In addition, there are 20,000 to 30,000 imperial expatriates in the city. Once they are armed, they will become an armed force that cannot be underestimated. If they defend the city, they can still hold on for a while.  .

     As long as the garrison in Taiyuan City can hold on for two to three days, reinforcements will arrive. Regardless of whether those armies can be annihilated by then, there is still no problem in ensuring the safety of Taiyuan City.

    At that moment, Okamura Neiji immediately called the First Army Headquarters and ordered Major General Yamagang Budo to immediately start preparations to defend Taiyuan City, and authorized them to immediately arm all Japanese expatriates in the city and organize them into the city defense force.

    In addition, Okamura Neiji also ordered the aviation forces in Yuncheng, Peiping, Tianjin and Handan to rush to Taiyuan immediately to coordinate with the infantry to defend the city.

    At the same time, the aviation force flew non-stop to Gujiao, looking for the armored units of the Chinese army. Once discovered, they were immediately annihilated.

    Okamura Neiji¡¯s wishful thinking was very clear. Compared with infantry, it is too easy for aviation to deal with armored troops. No matter what kind of tank you are equipped with, it will be scum in front of the overwhelming aerial bombs.

    To eliminate an armored regiment, the infantry may need to pay thousands of casualties and take several days, but for the aviation force, it is only a matter of several bombings.

    What¡¯s more important is that ordinary armored forces have no way to deal with aviation and can only passively take a beating.

    But Li Guoyao had already thought of these things, so during troop training, the armored regiment usually had to be together with the air defense regiment.

    Therefore, after the armored troops captured Gujiao, Jiang Feng did not let the armored troops stay in the urban area longer. Instead, they immediately withdrew to a mountain forest northeast of Gujiao after capturing the urban area.

    The mountain forests in Shanxi are mostly made of tall poplar trees, and the dense branches and leaves are the best bunkers. Not to mention a mere hundred tanks and armored vehicles, even a few hundred more can be hidden.

    At the same time, in order to prevent the little devils from thinking that the tank troops were in the urban area and carrying out bombing, Jiang Feng placed the main force of the air defense regiment in the urban area.

    At nine o'clock in the morning, the first wave of Japanese aviation arrived in Gujiao, and then launched a frantic bombing of the small town.

    The national army did not show any weakness, and immediately confronted each other tit for tat, and a ground-to-air battle began immediately.

    Li Guoyao's troops suddenly arrived in the outer suburbs of Taiyuan. Apart from the Japanese troops, the one who was most shocked was undoubtedly Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the World War II zone.

    When the news reached the Yichuan World War II Zone Headquarters, the Shanxi king had just gotten up. The news was brought to him by his cousin Yan Huiqing.

    Yan Laoxi was a little surprised to see his little sister so early in the morning, especially when he saw the message in her hand, he knew something was wrong.

    "What happened? Did you come here so early in the morning?" Yan Laoxi asked while arranging his clothes.

    "Brother, the intelligence department sent an urgent call. Li Guoyao's department has contacted an ancient friend!" Yan Huiqing said immediately.

    "What are you talking about? The Ninth Army has reached Gujiao. How is this possible?" Yan Laoxi asked with a surprised look on his face.

    No wonder Yan Laoxi was so shocked. The news that came back yesterday was that the Jiujiu Army had just arrived in Kelan. It was still more than 200 kilometers away from Taiyuan. It took only one night to reach Gujiao City?

    As the king of Shanxi, how could Yan Laoxi not know that the distance between Gujiao and Taiyuan is too far. To be honest, although the two places are more than 40 kilometers apart, due to the terrain of Shanxi that is high in the west and low in the east, it is downhill all the way from Gujiao to Taiyuan.  We will arrive in Taiyuan soon.

    In other words, once Li Guoyao's troops really hit Gujiao, it will not be much different from hitting Taiyuan City.

    "This is indeed what the telegram said. The main force of the Jiujiu Army suddenly appeared outside Gujiao City early this morning and defeated the defenders of Gujiao. Now the Japanese army has blocked Taiyuan City, and it seems that they are preparing to defend it to death!"

    Yan Laoxi¡¯s face immediately relaxed and he said, ¡°It¡¯s better to hold on tight. If we hold on tight, we still have a chance!¡±

    "Brother, what do you mean by this? Isn't it better to let the Jiujiu Army recover Taiyuan?" Yan Huiqing asked in confusion.

    "Fifth sister, you have to remember that we still have a chance to take Taiyuan City in the hands of the Japanese. Once it is occupied by others, it will be difficult to take it back."

    Yan Laoxi then said no more and said directly: "Immediately notify all division-level officers in the theater to come to the commander's headquarters for a meeting. The time limit is one hour. No lateness is allowed and no leave is allowed!"

    "Okay, brother!"

    After saying that, Yan Huiqing immediately turned around and walked out!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
