Just when the Japanese army in the south won the Battle of Shanghai and occupied Shanghai for less than a week, the North China Front Army was wiped out by the People's Army in northern Shanxi. After the news of a brigade was confirmed, Soichi Tezuka seemed to have been slapped and slapped in the face.

"Okabe Jun, I will generate electricity for the 26th Division and order the unit to increase the attack on the Chinese People's Army. It is necessary to make progress in the near future." The Temple was in a blue face while turning around the circle in the headquarters, and issued a stern order, "Let the Sakai Brigade leave two infantry brigades and Mongolian cavalry divisions to guard Baotou and Guisui, and the main force is transferred back to Datong. After Huairen heading south from the north to attack the enemy, let Itagaki Jun break through the Xinkou line as soon as possible and then order the 1st Army Keri to take down Niangziguan and ask Kazuki Kiyoshi, are the two heavy artillery brigades in his hands good-looking?"

Under the attack of Sakai Brigade and three pseudo Mongolian cavalry divisions, Baotou defensive commander Men Bingyue led the remnants of the 7th Cavalry Division to retreat to Wuyuan on the 13th. After the Sakai Brigade in Linhe captured Baotou, the pursuit was suspended due to weather reasons. The battle in Suiyuan was basically over. The situation in northern Shanxi was deteriorating. The Temple wanted to transfer the Sakai Brigade, a mechanized and powerful force, to deal with the People's Army.

As for the anger of Kazuki Kiyoshi, the 20th Division has not been able to conquer the Niangzi Pass since the 1st Army captured Shijiazhuang on October 10.

After recording this series of orders, Naozo Okabe did not issue them immediately. Instead, he reminded carefully: "Commander, there are only two infantry brigades and Mongolian cavalry divisions in Suiyuan. Are the troops weak? Ningxia and northern Shaanxi occupied by the Chinese People's Army may both border Suiyuan. The enemy may take advantage of the opportunity in Suiyuan. In addition, the harem Chunge sent a telegram, saying that the snow on the plains of northern Shanxi was deep and knee-deep, and it was too difficult to attack the enemy who was holding the fortifications in such weather. At the same time, we must also beware of the possibility of the Chinese People's Army cutting the supply line of the 26th Division eastward after occupying Shanyin."

"Okabe, what suggestions do you have?" I was still angry and turned around and stared at Okabe and asked.

"Since the Chinese People's Army can make the 15th Brigade 'jamb shatter', its combat power cannot be underestimated. The 26th Division, which was damaged by heavy firepower and the dissatisfied Sakai Brigade may not be able to take the enemy down as soon as possible. The weather in northern Shanxi is not conducive to combat. It is better to let the Sakai Brigade draw the main force to station Datong and protect the passage from Datong through Huairen, Yingxian to Ruyuekou to ensure the supply line of the 26th Division and Xinkou."

Okamaba directly expressed his opinion and continued: "The key to the battle situation in Shanxi is to capture Taiyuan as soon as possible, annihilate Yan Xishan's troops or force him to surrender, or let the 1st Army use the main force of the 20th Division and the 14th Division, plus two heavy artillery brigades to use it together in the direction of Niangzi Pass. As long as we break through Niangzi Pass, our army can drive straight in. After attacking Taiyuan and cutting off the retreat route of the enemy in Xinkou, our army can not only mobilize enough troops to deal with the Chinese People's Army, but also transport troops and materials to Shanxi through the Pinghan Line and Zhengtai Road, so as to facilitate the replenishment of the troops."

The People's Army was able to completely annihilate the 15th Brigade in less than a day. Such combat effectiveness really made the Temple feel worried if it was unfavorable in the weather. If it was unfavorable and if it was taken advantage of by the enemy, it would be difficult for people to accept the trade-offs. Temple nodded and said, "Yoxi, Okabe's suggestion makes sense, just do it like this."

The North China Front Army was busy with the annihilation of the 15th Brigade, but most people in China were happy about the victory in the Northwest. After getting rid of the shadow of the defeat in the Battle of Shanghai, they put the hope of the War of Resistance on the Northwest.

However, unlike ordinary people who are interested in the northwest, the domestic forces remain low-key in the victory of the People's Army. The Nanjing authorities invested 75 divisions and 9 brigades, with a total of more than 750,000 people, and ended with more than 300,000 casualties. Chiang Kai-shek was really not in the mood to cheer for the still hostile Northwest. Chiang Kai-shek did not express his opinion. The important officials of the Nanjing authorities also became silly.

**As for the Northwest has always been hated against the Soviet Union, and Wang Ming, who had just returned to the country, not only criticized the Party and the People's Army, but also repeatedly accused the People's Party and the People's Army of the People's Army of Annihilation of the 15th Brigade.

Only Yan Xishan, who was under pressure from the Japanese army in Shanxi, was overjoyed after learning that the People's Army had really annihilated the 15th Brigade, and he laughed and said, "It's great now. With the northwest attracting Japanese troops, we can finally relax and move the reserve troops towards Niangziguan."

Before the Japanese army entered Shanxi, if Yan Xishan knew that the People's Army had such strong combat effectiveness, he would probably be unable to sleep or eat. However, when the Jinsui Army was facing the most serious threat from the Japanese army and Shanxi was likely to be lost, Yan Xishan hoped that the People's Army would be stronger, so as to attract the Japanese army more.

Not only Yan Xishan believes that the Japanese army will concentrate its forces to retaliate against the northwest, but Wei Lihuang, Zhu Shouguang and others also feel that the People's Army is seriously threatening the Japanese army to the south. Everyone who is unable to attack Xinkou with all their strength was also relieved.

However, before Yan Xishan and others were happy for a long time, bad news came one after another

First, Zhao Zhenzhong sent someone to defeat hundreds of defeated soldiers of the Baotou defensive commander and commander of the 7th Cavalry Division of Men Bingyue who retreated to the Linhe area. He was escorted to Yan Xishan defense zone through the western Jin Dynasty and then the direction of Niangziguan was continuously in a row. Itagaki on Xinkou also attacked Yan Xishan. Wei Lihuang and others were in a hurry.

Seeing the shameless Men Bingyue and others appearing in front of him, Yan Xishan looked gloomy and silent, and was upset that the relationship between the Jinsui side and the Northwest was damaged. Chu Xichun and Men Bingyue, the Chief of Staff of the Second World War Zone, were both from Baoding Military Academy. They knew each other in their early years and asked, "Brother Xiangwen, why did you get evil in the Northwest?"

"Men was incompetent and did not restrain his brothers from retreating to Linhe area, soldiers plundered the local people, causing them to go to Heliangtai. Jier summoned the People's Army to deploy defense in the area to take action, and it fell into the current situation." Men Bingyue said the past plot briefly with shame and looked down on his face.

Although Men Bingyue was vague, Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang and others already understood what was going on. In addition to Men Bingyue's 7th Cavalry Division, there were also Liu Gui's 6th Cavalry Division, and the Northeast Advance Army led by Ma Zhanshan and other departments such as Bingyue, who was considered professional and could restrain himself. Liu and Ma had both become bandits in their early years, so their temperament was not very good. In addition, there were many cavalrymen from Jin, Sui, Ji and Cha. The discipline of these cavalry units was not much better.

In fact, what Men Bingyue said has diluted the defeated soldiers who retreated from Jining, Guisui and other places. When they retreated, they shot and caused trouble at will, and even raped and plundered. Liu and his troops went to the north of Daqing Mountain to avoid the front of the Sakai Brigade. Men Bingyue's troops retreated westward to Wuyuan, Linhe area, but were hit by the People's Army.

"The Second World War Zone cannot control Suiyuan now, and I can't cure you. I'll lose Suixi. You'd better go to the central government to apologize." After Yan Xishan said in a light tone, he waved his hand and asked Chu Xichun to take Men Bingyue out.

Men Bingyue was born in Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army in his early years. In 35 years, he served as the senior lieutenant of the Beiping Army Branch and served as the commander of the 7th Cavalry Division. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Men Bingyue's troops were again stationed by the Nanjing authorities, who intervened in Suiyuan. Yan Xishan took the opportunity to return it to Jiang, which would make it difficult for Jiang to make someone embarrassed.

"Donald Yan, the northwest is going to extend his hand to Suiyuan," Wei Lihuang sighed, "Encang Men Bingyue back in the name of invading the people. If the lost land in Suiyuan is recovered from the Japanese army, I am afraid that the People's Army will have another province."

Yan Xishan knew the benefits and harms that Wei Lihuang said, but now even the old nest in Shanxi was almost lost. He was really powerless to take care of Suiyuan and waved his hand in a little upset. Yan Xishan smiled bitterly: "Junru, the current situation cannot tolerate you and me being distracted. He didn't care about Xin's mouth. Huang Jikuan was in a hurry at the gate of the wife. Deng Jinkang's 22nd Army was sent to him without any hesitation. You see what should we do now?"

"Our army is on the front line of Niangzi Pass. Although it seems to have a lot of troops, it comes from different regions and systems. It is very difficult to command and coordination, and the troops are inappropriately deployed, and the troops are unconscious. It is really difficult for brother Ji Kuan." Wei Lihuang smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked at Yan Xishan and said, "Xiangyueqingsi has now concentrated the forces of the 14 and 20 divisions, plus the heavy artillery brigade and air force. Niangzi Pass is more dangerous than our side. It is better to reinforce several troops in the rear to Niangzi Pass, so it is easier to resist for a long time."

When Wei Lihuang mentioned the troops being replenished in the rear, Yan Xishan shook his head with a wry smile: "Junru, the 61st Army has lost more than half of the losses, and it has only been a month and a half to retreat to Shouyang. The 17th Army, the 19th Army, the 35th Army, etc. have been withdrawn to Yuci for less than a month. The troops have not been replenished yet, and most of them cannot even put out guns. How useful can they be when sent?"

Although Yan Xishan was telling the truth, he had other plans in his mind that the Battle of Songhu, where Jiang Jiang invested a lot of troops, had failed. The Japanese army could draw out multiple troops for mobile combat. The days ahead are still long. If he would give up all the Jinsui Army's old foundation now, then Yan would have a hard time in the future.

If the remnants of the Jinsui Army joined the direction of Niangziguan, Yan Xishan would be willing to fight hard, but now Xiangyue Qingsi has committed no evil, so he used two divisions and two heavy artillery brigades to attack. You know, each of the heavy artillery brigades of the Japanese army has more than 8,000 soldiers, seventy heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and eighty two heavy artillery brigades plus two divisions of artillery, a total of more than 200 bombardment. In this case, Niangziguan will definitely not last long.

However, the Central Army and other troops all went to Shanxi to help Yan Xishan guard their house. When facing Wei Lihuang's request, Yan Xishan could not completely refuse to consider it. He decided to say, "If you really want to send me, then let the 61st Army, which has the longest rest time, take the lead."

In fact, the battle situation on the front line of Niangziguan is even more complicated than what Yan and Wei expected

The front of the Niangziguan position is too wide, starting from Longquan Pass in the north and going to Maling Pass in the south. From the map alone, it is more than 150 kilometers away. On such a wide front, in the early stage, only Feng Qinzai, Zhao Shoushan, and Zeng Wanzhong had five divisions defending. The average front width of each person is responsible for is more than 4 meters. What is worrying is that after the equipment in this line, there is no ladder or reserve team.

Feng Qinzai's troops stationed on the left wing of Niangzi Pass, because there was no enemy situation in the area where they were responsible, actually turned off the radio after they arrived. Until Niangzi Pass fell, Huang Shaohong, who was in charge of command, was unable to contact the department. Therefore, Huang Shaohong determined that Feng Qinzai's troops were ordering to escape and avoiding war

Feng Qinzai's troops could not be contacted, and the positions arranged by Zeng Wanzhong's troops were easily penetrated by the Japanese army. Huang Shaohong could only use them to rescue emergency services at that time, only Zhao Shoushan's division and Sun Lianzhong's troops who had just arrived had not been able to work hard on the fortifications, the front line of Niangzi Pass would have been lost 10 days ago.

Fortunately, Sun Lianzhong's troops arrived one after another, and Deng Xihou's troops arrived in time, which made the line of Niangziguan not collapse like in history in early November. Now Yan Xishan has added the 61st Army again, so it should be possible to hold on for a few more days.

After Li Fuying's 61st Army was brought to the top, Yan Xishan ordered the 17th Army, which was resting in Yuci, to be prepared to fight at any time. As for the 19th Army and 35th Army, Yan Xishan did not want to put the Jinsui Army in the direction of Niangziguan again, so he ordered him to step up the reorganization and repair in case of any

"Mingyuan, aren't the Japanese afraid of being beaten by us? It's been a few days since the 15th Brigade was wiped out, so why didn't they attack our army again?" On the 22nd, Liu Jifeng asked at the Yulin War Zone Command.

"The Japanese are not afraid of being beaten. They want to deal with Yan Xishan first and then concentrate their forces to attack us." Zhou Mingyuan curled his lips and continued, "Look at the war situation notice sent by Yan Xishan over the past few days, you will know that the Japanese have used two divisions and two heavy artillery brigades to attack Niangzi Pass. Once Niangzi Pass is conquered, Taiyuan will not be able to defend for long, and the troops in Xinkou World War II will be in a state of being attacked from both sides. At that time, Yan Xishan has to retreat to the southwest of Shanxi."

"Then can you still sit still? If you don't take this opportunity to annihilate the Japanese's vital forces, it will be difficult for us to fight later." Liu Jifeng reminded Chen Hailan, Xu Yuan and others in the headquarters to see it, waiting for Zhou Mingyuan to reveal the truth.

"Old Zhao has prepared what it should be prepared long ago." Zhou Mingyuan laughed and kept it in a silence. "When the Japanese attacked Taiyuan, we will see the good show of "Ice and Fire" Guan Bao, after the Japanese were injured, it will be difficult to go north together."

"It's winter now, it's easy to say about this ice, but this 'fire'... Could it be that Yan Xishan really sacrificed his capital and burned Taiyuan?" Cai Tingkai, now the deputy chief of staff of the theater, made a guess. After the other people saw the power of the aluminum-hot incendiary bomb that could shine iron and melt gold two days ago, they almost burned the mud into glass, most of them guessed that it was like this.

"I can't bear to use those things for Yan Xishan." Zhou Mingyuan smiled, but then sighed, "At least half a month, the Madam's Pass will be lost, and Taiyuan is not far from falling, so let's wait and see."

Seeing Zhou Mingyuan say this, everyone stopped asking questions, and then discussed the plans for the subsequent war against Japan.

In the next 10 days, in addition to the Northwest Air Force dispatched air protection for the Second World War Zone troops fighting in Xinkou from time to time, the People's Army has been working hard to build fortifications and conduct pre-war training to welcome the arrival of the subsequent large-scale battle. Although Niangzi Pass was lost on December 4, it was more than a month later than in history.

"After fighting, all of this was already in the finale of Zhao Zhenzhong..." Faced with the current ending, Yan Xishan sighed and although he was surprised by Zhao Zhenzhong's insight into the situation of the war, he hoped that he could retreat and protect the horizontal as he said, and then use the horizontal map to achieve this goal. Of course, some of the things must be done.

On the night when Niangzi Pass was lost, Yan Xishan, Wei Lihuang, Huang Shaohong, Zhao Daiwen, Zhu Shouguang, Fu Zuoyi, Yang Aiyuan, Sun Lianzhong, Wang Jingguo, Chu Xichun and others held a meeting overnight in Taiyuan to determine how the ministries should stay after Niangzi Pass fell.

"Nantius Pass has been lost, and there is no danger to guard the east of Taiyuan. The headquarters decided to hold a battle with the Japanese army in Taiyuan as the center." Yan Xishan looked around and said in an unprecedented tone. "It is better to destroy Taiyuan City than to let the Japanese have the specific deployment as follows: First, the troops retreated from the direction of Xinkou are set up fortifications to guard the northern suburbs of Taiyuan, and a fortification to guard the mountains on the west bank of the Fen River; Second, Sun Lianzhong, who retreated from Niangzi Pass, and Deng Xihou's troops guard the mountains east of Taiyuan. Third, Fu Zuoyi's troops guard the Taiyuan City to the death."

"Captain Yan, the existing national defense fortifications near Taiyuan can be defended, but the troops of Niangzi Pass and Xinkou were retreating backwards under the pursuit of the enemy. All our troops were likely to be oppressed to the edge of Taiyuan City before they occupied the positions." Huang Shaohong, deputy commander of the Second World War Zone, opposed, "The troops in the front are retreating. Taiyuan City should be used to attract the attention of the enemy, so that the withdrawn troops can rest and rectify in the four outsides, and preserve their vitality. However, if the retreating field troops are used to resist the Japanese attack and support Taiyuan City to defend, if the troops in various places are really oppressed by the enemy to the Taiyuan area, and the Japanese troops in Xinkou and Niangzi Pass have formed an encirclement of our army in the Taiyuan area, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"If you don't work hard to defend Taiyuan, who can afford this responsibility if you lose it?" Yan Xishan asked, although Shanghai was lost and Chiang Kai-shek had moved the capital, but as the capital of a province, if Taiyuan is easily lost, Yan Xishan will not be able to explain to all parties. This is also the reason why he used heavy troops to assist the defense on the periphery.

"Captain Yan, I am not advocating giving up Taiyuan, but just changing my way of perseverance," Huang Shaohong explained. "The troops in the direction of Niangziguan can retreat to the south of Zhengtai Road in Shouyang, and the mountainous areas east of Yuci will conquer the Japanese army directly attack Taiyuan, and the troops in the direction of Yan are ordered to attack the enemy side and back; if the Japanese army attacks the troops in the south, they can be transferred to the southeastern Jin, and our troops in the direction of Xinkou will retreat to the mountains west of the Fen River to rectify so as to attack the enemy sideways. In this way, there will be two east and west routes to restrain the enemy. In addition, there are people's army in northwest of Jin, so the Japanese army will not be able to attack Taiyuan with all their strength and Taiyuan can persist for a long time."

Regarding Huang Shaohong's opinion, Wei Lihuang and Sun Lianzhong agreed with Yan Xishan carefully thinking about the backup plan he had made with Northwest, and after weighing the pros and cons, he agreed.

In history, Yan Xishan did not work after some foreign troops arrived in Shanxi, and the Jinsui Army suffered too much losses in the battle. He did not agree with Huang Shaohong's suggestion because it meant that the already disabled Jinsui Army would defend Taiyuan and fight hard with the Japanese army. However, the foreign Central Army, Sichuan Army and other troops could win enough rest time. In this way, if all the Jinsui Army is destroyed, Shanxi will still belong to him or not, Yan Xishan will be a big problem.

But now, the People's Army not only restrained the 26th Division and other units, but also annihilated a brigade. With the combat materials and suggestions provided by the northwest before, the Shanxi-Sui Army suffered much less losses, especially Yan Xishan reserved 30,000 Shanxi-Sui Army in southwest Shanxi. He was confident and more determined.

After the meeting, other generals dispersed one after another, but Yan Xishan called Zhu Shouguang, Fu Zuoyi, Wang Jingguo, Liang Huazhi and other generals from Shanxi and Sui to the side to teach the opportunity.

"Public security, you take the 19th Army to Shangdang, Li Muyan's 61st Army will also go there. You two should use the local fortifications and all conveniences to try to defend your territory, and don't let ** develop there." Yan Xishan reminded earnestly, "The People's Army in the northwest of Shanxi will not look down on our property, but ** those people are short of everything. Once they are allowed to develop, our days will be sad. As for the materials needed by your two armies, I will provide you with Muyan on time in the southwest of Shanxi. You have to help him get more hands on."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I will definitely defend Shangdang with Mu Yan." After Wang Jingguo made the promise, he was embarrassed, "But Shangdang's territory is so big, we only have the few people in our two army.

Whether it is the 19th Army or the 61st Army, although they are all labeled as "army", the actual strength is not much. The two armies combined with less than 30,000 people alone rely on this number of troops to fight against Japan, and to guard against the **, and to look at Jinzhong, Changzhi, Jincheng and other territories. They have indeed not been able to catch them.

"I can't give the official number from the central government, but you can form a local security regiment or security regiment. As long as you don't get empty salary, you can guarantee combat effectiveness. Each army will have two, three brigades, or seven, or eight regiments, all of which will be your two." In the future, you will be able to obtain supplies from the northwest every year, and in order to expand the capital to survive in troubled times and keep your territory, Yan Xishan became very generous.

"With this support from Yan Gong, if we can't defend our territory, we will be willing to accept military law." Wang Jingguo, who has always left room for speaking, was also passionate and enthusiastic.

"Don't talk about these, as long as you can defend your territory and fight against the war, you can be worthy of the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties." Yan Xishan waved his hand, turned his head and stared at Fu Zuoyi and said, "Yisheng, your good guard is well known. However, this time, you don't really want you to defend the city, but you want you to severely damage the Japanese army when you see the opportunity."

Fu Zuoyi was stunned and hurriedly said, "Please also ask Yan to inform you, what should our department do?"

"The people of Taiyuan have evacuated, and those who have not left so far have no intentions." Yan Xishan signaled Liang Huazhi next to him to hand Fu Zuoyi a document, and said, "This is a general idea of ​​the defensive plan. You can read the specific implementation here, and then Youhuazhi will help you."

"Is this really the case?" Even though Fu Zuoyi was used to the wind and waves, he couldn't help but be shocked after reading the document.

"The ancients had a burning boat. Today, I, Yan, also learned from the last time that I, can't let the Japanese army invade the land of our Three Jins without doing anything." Yan Xishan said with a sigh, but although he was righteous, he felt really hurt in his heart, and he muttered: "I just hope that Zhao Zhenzhong will keep his word and can do more to help in the future, otherwise, he will be really a big loss this time."

Yan Xishan was willing to come to Taiyuan City as Zhao Zhenzhong said. In addition to Zhao Zhenzhong's previous promise, the main reason was that he saw that the People's Army had annihilated a brigade of the Japanese army in less than a day. The powerful combat power of Yan Xishan's previous strategy of dancing on a few eggs was a bit unworkable. For the sake of future considerations, it was time to take the opportunity to show his determination. Moreover, even if Yan Xishan did not act, the People's Army would launch at that time, and the Japanese would not be able to do anything well.

Although Fu Zuoyi is now under Yan Xishan, he has been in a grudge between the two since he was suspected by Yan in the Central Plains War and shot himself to show his thoughts. He also looked down on Yan Xishan's way of doing things in many ways. After seeing the plan to burn the boat, Fu Zuoyi changed his view of Yan Xishan and believed that his great deeds are respectable.

"Yan Gong made proper arrangements, and this time it will indeed cause severe damage to the Japanese army." After careful consideration, Fu Zuoyi felt that the relevant plan was indeed feasible, but the plan did not clarify the whereabouts of the 35th Army after completing the city defense mission. Fu Zuoyi asked again, "What should we do after our army evacuated?"

"You bring the 35th Army to western Shanxi," Yan Xishan decided, "In addition to ensuring the smooth passage through Lin County, Liulin and other places to southwest Shanxi, we must also cooperate with other troops to defend the Luliangshan area between Fenyang and Linfen. We can take public security. In the example of Mu Yan and others, we must set up more local security forces."

"Yan Gong is trustworthy, Yisheng will never let his trust." Fu Zuoyi solemnly saluted Yan Xishan with a military salute.

Yan Xishan stood up and looked at the house that had been with him for many years with him, sighing: "Okay, what should be said, all the things that can be moved in the Taiyuan City area have also moved. The rest depends on yours. I will go to Linfen first to wait for your good news."

In the night, Yan Xishan took a train to Linfen, and the engineers later began to demolish the railway between Taiyuan and Jiexiu, while Fu Zuoyi commanded the troops to step up the arrangement according to Liang Huazhi's instructions.

Unlike Yan Xishan's hasty evacuation in history, except for the faction of the Niangziguan direction that seemed a little messy when retreating due to the large number of troops, the troops in Xinkou used mines to delay the Japanese army's march and basically achieved an orderly retreat. In this era, the vast majority of the more than 100,000 people in Taiyuan City, as well as all the industries of Northwest Industrial Company have been transferred to the designated location. Except for a very small number of people who have unilateral feelings for the Japanese army, there are only 35 officers and soldiers who are ready to deal with severe damage to the Japanese army.

On December 15, the day after the fall of Nanjing, the Japanese army heading south from Xinkou after a fierce battle, occupied Taiyuan at 11 o'clock that night, and the Japanese vanguard troops heading to Taiyuan were also rushing to Taiyuan. Because it was too late, there were mines and sporadic blocking by the Chinese team. The leaders of several Japanese divisions prepared to go to Taiyuan after dawn. This arrangement on the itinerary left regrets for the Chinese team, and also allowed Itagaki and several Japanese soldiers to escape.

At 7:30 am on the 16th, Taiyuan City suddenly burst into violent explosions and explosions, causing the explosion to continue, as if a continuous burst of muffled thunder broke out in Taiyuan City, accompanied by the explosion, and the fire rising from the sky.

Just when the two Japanese soldiers were panicked and eager to hide, a low sound of landslide and tsunami came from the northwest outside Taiyuan City, and they rushed to Taiyuan City.

Fenhe Reservoir, which has kept the water level in the highest state since autumn, was broken by the People's Army officers and soldiers, and opened the gate to release water. Although the temperature is a bit cold and the water release effect will be reduced, the frozen river also reduces the impact caused by the rapid flow of water along the way and the heat generated by the rapid flow of water. In addition, the heat supplemented by gasoline detonated from time to time in the river makes the ice water roar straight towards Taiyuan City rushing straight toward Taiyuan City.

Nearly 2,000 tons of explosives and hundreds of tons of oil buried in Taiyuan City have turned the entire city into a flaming furnace. The ice water that suddenly flooded is like pouring a basin of cold water on a red iron block, forming a large amount of steam and causing another explosion.
Chapter completed!
