Shouyang, the position of the Jinsui Army.

The battle was fierce for another seven or eight hours. Two divisions and tens of thousands of Japanese devils attacked wildly, breaking through several defense lines of the Jinsui Army and advancing several kilometers along the broken Zhengtai Railway. The Jinsui Army had already suffered more than 10,000 casualties here.

However, the Japanese are not much better, and the casualties are probably not less than 10,000. Although the Japanese have excellent weapons and good individual quality, the Japanese are attacking and not taking advantage of the geographical advantage. The Jinsui Army is defending, condescending, and taking advantage of a certain advantage.

The two commanders of the Jinsui Army held a telescope and looked at the tragic battle ahead, and they looked solemn. If Yan Xishan had not given a death order and demanded a stubborn attack on the Japanese to reinforce, the two commanders would have made way for the intersection and allowed the Japanese to pass.

Suddenly, the two smiled at the same time, and their tense nerves slowly relaxed, because they saw the Japanese in the distance starting to retreat. With years of experience in the battlefield, they estimated that the Japanese must have received the order to retreat from the top, and they didn't even have to pick up the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground. These are the weapons and equipment of nearly 10,000 Japanese.

Although there were serious casualties in this battle, it was worth it to kill so many Japanese soldiers and pick up so many equipment. Both commanders thought of this.

Seeing the Japanese retreat, the two commanders of the Jinsui Army hurriedly ordered the troops to stop pursuing, clean up the battlefield immediately, and then retreat to Shouyang to rest. After continuous battles, all the Jinsui Army soldiers were very tired.

Eighth Route Army positions.

Zhang Yunfei was already commanding the troops to clean the battlefield. The Cavalry Regiment, the First Battalion of the Second Artillery Regiment and other troops returned to Taiyuan first, while the remaining infantry remained and cleaned the battlefield with the soldiers of the 129th Division.

The soldiers of the 129th Division cleaned the battlefield very carefully. Needless to say, the guns and ammunition were wiped away the mud and put them in their pockets like treasures.

Some soldiers took off the Japanese cotton coats, shoes and socks, and some soldiers from the 129th Division who were still wearing single clothes temporarily put the cotton coats taken off the Japanese on themselves.

Zhang Yunfei and Commander Liu walked slowly up the mountain side by side. The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield along the way saw the two commanders, and they all saluted them.

When the two of them were about to reach the top of the mountain, they saw dozens of soldiers gathered together with excitement on their faces, pointing at each other, and talking from time to time, as if they had discovered something.

The two walked over quickly and saw their division commander coming. The soldiers drove away one after another. They arrived at a broken command center in a while. It was obvious that this was the Japanese former temporary command center.

Zhang Yunfei first saw the corpses on the ground. These corpses were obviously just carried together by the soldiers. Twenty or thirty corpses were placed side by side and arranged in a straight line.

Good guy, among these corpses, there was a lieutenant general, a major general, and three Japanese colonels. The lowest rank was also the captain. Looking at the corpse of the lieutenant general on the ground, although Zhang Yunfei had never seen Yoshio Kozuka Yoshio, he vaguely guessed that the lieutenant general on the ground should be Yoshio Kozuka Yoshio Kozuka.

Zhang Yunfei bent down regardless of the blood on the corpse and groped the body for a while. Not long after, he took out a document from the corpse. When he opened it, he found that it was Yoshio Kozuka. Unexpectedly, after searching Yoshio Kozuka outside Taiyuan City for so long, he did not find the whereabouts of the old Japanese. Unexpectedly, the cunning Yoshio Kozuka actually escaped the search of the Eighth Route Army and met with the Japanese Infantry First Brigade. Fortunately, he shot him to death.

Commander Liu saw the corpse of the lieutenant general on the ground, and saw Zhang Yunfei taking out the ID from the corpse for so long. Commander Liu asked with hope: "Brother Yunfei, is this corpse Yoshio Kozuka?"

"Well, this corpse is from Yoshio Kozuka. This old Japanese devil with his hands covered with blood from the Chinese people has finally been wiped out by us." Zhang Yunfei said happily.

The dozens of soldiers next to him cheered when they saw Zhang Yunfei personally confirming that this person was Yoshio Kozuka, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army.

An hour later, the battlefield was finally cleaned up. Looking at the weapons and equipment piled up into a hill, the soldiers of the 129th Division were shining with their eyes. Several brave soldiers even walked forward and gently stroked the wrinkled machine guns, Type 92 heavy machine guns and other weapons. The soldiers of the 136th Division next to them were relatively calm. The soldiers of the 136th Division who were used to cannons and automatic weapons really looked down on these things.

Seeing so many weapons and ammunition, there were a lot of machine guns, mortars, and a whole box of ammunition, Commander Liu was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

Seeing that the battle here was over, Zhang Yunfei discussed it with Commander Liu for a while, and the two of them left. There were still many things waiting for the two to do. Commander Liu wanted to lead the troops back to the Taihang Mountains station to rest, while Zhang Yunfei had to return to Taiyuan first. There were still many things to deal with in Taiyuan. As for more than 10,000 soldiers of the 129th Division in Xinkou and a regiment in Taiyuan, Commander Liu temporarily handed them over to Zhang Yunfei for command before leaving.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei led more than 10,000 soldiers from the 136th Division back to Taiyuan City. He learned that Zhang Yunfei was leading a large army back, and the troops in the city, including the cavalry regiment, lined up at the city gate to welcome Zhang Yunfei, and there were many happy ordinary people.

When Taiyuan is liberated, the people no longer have to live in the heat of water, nor have they had to survive in the Japanese butcher's butcher's knife. Therefore, the people are extremely happy. Not long ago, Zhang Yunfei killed the Japanese's number one master in Taiyuan, and many ordinary people witnessed Zhang Yunfei's bravery.

Today, Zhang Yunfei's troops wiped out all the Japanese in Taiyuan City. Many ordinary people spontaneously came to the city gate and lined up to welcome Zhang Yunfei into the city. Zhang Yunfei, who was sitting on the off-road vehicle, had to slow down and wave to the people on both sides.

The enthusiasm of the people exceeded Zhang Yunfei's expectations. Not only were there a large number of people at the gate of the city, but there were also many enthusiastic people standing in the city, on both sides of the streets where Zhang Yunfei passed.

Finally, Zhang Yunfei came to the command center that the soldiers had sorted out. This command center was actually the command center of the first Japanese Army in the past. Seeing that there was not much damage to the battle here, Zhang Yunfei turned it into a temporary command center.

The troops who followed Zhang Yunfei into the city only had special forces and guard battalions, with a total of less than 1,000 people. The remaining large troops set up field tents outside the city for a short rest. Only the two infantry regiments in the city maintained order. Zhang Yunfei did this because he did not want to disturb the people.
