    Where there is a "spear", there is a "shield". This is an eternal truth since human beings have had wars.

    Since ancient times, every time a new type of weapon appears, there is a way to crack it.

    As we all know, the tank was first invented by the British and was famous for breaking through obstacles, trenches, and destroying enemy bunkers and fortifications on the battlefields of World War I.

    At first, the German army was so frightened by this "strange monster" that it lost its helmet and armor. The bullets could not penetrate it, so they could only watch it rampage and be beaten to pieces.

    But it was also driven by this huge pressure that the Germans began to study anti-tank weapons. In the days that followed, the emergence of professional "anti-tank" weapons was changing the fact that tanks dominated the battlefield. That is, the German army developed  "k bullet".

    This weapon still relies on ordinary rifles. It just changes the propellant of the bullet and is the predecessor of what is now commonly known as armor-piercing bullets. However, this bullet does not play a big role.  But no matter what, it can still stop the progress of the tank in an emergency.

    After decades of development, anti-tank guns have been perfected. They not only have the power to attack armored troops, but also pose a considerable threat to enemy field fortifications. Even those reinforced concrete bunkers are difficult to withstand.

    It's just that China itself is a relatively backward country, and the Japanese can only be regarded as a second-rate country in terms of armored weapons. Therefore, since the Anti-Japanese War, most of the Chinese army's armored forces have relied on cluster grenades and explosive packs, combat anti-cannons,  Anti-tank guns rarely appear on the battlefield.

    At present, Li Guoyao's troops have received support from the Soviet Union, and they have prepared anti-tank guns and rocket launchers in terms of anti-tank. In the current Taiyuan battle, these two weapons are also on display.

    "boom"

    With a dull sound, the huge barrel fired a long bullet out of the barrel with recoil.

    The 14.5x114mm armor-piercing projectile instantly traversed the 300-meter void and directly hit a half-covered bunker.

    "Boom"

    The huge penetrating power directly punched a bowl-sized hole in the bunker, and then hit the Japanese soldier hard.

    The Japanese soldiers never thought that the Chinese army would have such a weapon, and they were shot through the chest in an instant. Even the Japanese ammunition hand behind was not spared.

    At the same time, the bazooka operators at the front of the battlefield also showed off their power, and rockets trailing flames flew toward the Japanese and puppet firepower points at the front.

    With the violent explosions, each Japanese firepower point and machine gun position suffered devastating blows.

    The Japanese army was stunned, and the Chinese army was also shocked. Neither side expected that anti-tank guns and rocket launchers would have such powerful attack power against such permanent fortifications, so they were both stunned.

    In less than half an hour, the group of bunkers outside the west gate of Taiyuan were beaten to pieces. Almost all the firepower points deployed by the Japanese army at the front were knocked out. The remaining infantry faced the charge of the Chinese army again.  Suddenly he looked timid and his fighting strength was not as good as before.

    After the situation on the frontier reached the city, Major General Shanggang Martial Arts was once again confused. He never imagined that less than an hour after the war started, the permanent fortifications he had placed high hopes on were destroyed, and the frontline troops suffered heavy losses.

    In desperation, Shanggang Martial Arts could only order the troops outside the city to immediately withdraw to the city, ordered the city gates to be closed, built and strengthened city defenses, and redeployed the city's defenders.

    Shanggang Budao used two brigades of Japanese troops plus 2,000 puppet troops to guard the east and north walls of the city, 2,000 main forces plus more than 1,500 armed foreigners to guard the west city, and 1,000 puppet troops plus 2,000 armed foreigners to guard the south city.  Troops not assigned the task of defending the city were organized into reserves, and Yamada Isamu, the operational staff officer of the First Army, was appointed as the martial law commander of Taiyuan City, responsible for maintaining order in the city.

    After occupying the fortifications outside Taiyuan City, the Chinese army immediately pursued the Japanese army from the west and north.

    At this time, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in the city was greatly reduced again. The 15,000 defenders were now reduced to less than 13,000. The Japanese army's so-called "field battle in the city" turned into "fighting alone in the city."

    The national army immediately surrounded Taiyuan City from the east, north and west, gradually cleared the Japanese deployment outside Taiyuan City, and moved into the city.

    Soon, the main force of the national army arrived under the city wall of Taiyuan, and then Jiang Feng immediately commanded the artillery to bombard Taiyuan fiercely from the surrounding highlands.

    At the same time, 80 heartless cannons were concentrated in the direction of the west gate.

    As we all know, although the heartless cannon is not very accurate, the power of the direct explosion of gunpowder is still very powerful, especially against thisPlanting a heavy city with tall walls can be said to be a powerful siege weapon.

    Under the concentrated bombardment of the national army's firepower, the city wall in the northwest section of Taiyuan was gradually broken into gaps, and the broken bricks and earth blocks that collapsed were spread out into slopes under the city.

    Although the Japanese and puppet troops blocked and repaired the gap overnight, they were still unable to cope. At one o'clock in the morning, the main force of the national army broke into Taiyuan City.

    ?Then the Japanese army concentrated its forces on a counterattack, trying to drive out the Chinese troops who had broken into the city and seal the collapsed northwest city wall.

    But Jiang Feng had already been prepared and had deployed two regiments of troops in the northwest, especially a guard battalion fully equipped with submachine guns.

    ?The two sides then started a fierce fight in the northwest urban area, and the battle changed from a siege to a street fight.

    When the northwest city gate was breached, the Chinese troops from the east and north directions jointly attacked the city wall with infantry, artillery and chariot troops. At the beginning of the siege, most of the artillery positions of the Japanese city wall artillery team were blocked by the Chinese army.  suppressed or destroyed by military artillery fire.

    At three o'clock in the morning, a hundred-meter-long gap was destroyed in the northern city wall, and the main force of the national army entered the city.

    Immediately after the city gate to the east was captured, the puppet army collapsed and fled. The Japanese army was unable to support itself, and the national army in the east also successfully entered the city.

    When the national army entered the city, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were in chaos. Many of the puppet police in the city abandoned their duties and fled. Taiyuan's city defenses were completely breached.

    Shanggang Budao and others were completely panicked at this time. While reporting the situation to the North China Front Army, they kept asking for help.

    Okamura Neiji and others from Beiping City also looked solemn at this time, discussing countermeasures late at night.

    After contacting the troops on the front line and the main force of the First Army returning north overnight, it was determined that none of these troops could reach Taiyuan City within eight hours. Neji Okamura knew that Taiyuan City could no longer be defended.

    After some hesitation, Okamura Neiji finally sent a telegram to Major General Yamaoka Budo, asking him to immediately burn all confidential documents and information, and the command post immediately broke out from the south of the city.

    After receiving the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters, Shanggang Budao and others were relieved. What they were most worried about was that the North China Front Army Headquarters did not understand the situation, or took it for granted that they could persist for a day or two, and then let them  Stick to Taiyuan.

    Fortunately, Commander Okamura was still very clear-headed. Knowing that Taiyuan City could no longer be defended, he ordered them to break out immediately.

    Due to the urgency of the situation, Shanggang Budo did not have time to think too much. He ordered the combat staff to quickly burn the top-secret documents and information of the headquarters, destroy the terrain sand table, and then issued an order to the puppet troops in the city to defend the city. However, he ordered the main force of the Japanese army and those who  The armed expatriates immediately gathered towards the south of the city.

    At 5:30 in the morning, the national army had occupied one-third of Taiyuan City. At this time, Shanggang Budao and others had also arrived in the south of the city. Behind him were 2,000 Japanese troops and 2,000 armed expatriates.

    "Shan Gang Budo then ordered the troops to remove the sandbags at the south gate, and then fled in panic.

    However, before the little devils who had just escaped from the city had time to be happy, they discovered that there was an astonishing number of national cavalry waiting for them outside the city.

    Seeing these Japanese Japs frantically escaping from the city, the Chinese cavalry who had been waiting all night immediately launched an attack, and the sound of intensive horse hooves suddenly sounded in the open space in front of the south gate (Remember this  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
