Chapter 632 Shattering the Invaders' Imperial Dream
Ye Feng was sure that as long as the news that Japan's 100,000 main forces were wiped out in Taiyuan spread, it would definitely cause a shock across the country. It would also scare the enemies in Hebei, Beijing, Tianjin, and even the three northeastern provinces, and would make other Japanese devils who were not in China fall into deep shock and panic.
By then, how could the Japanese army, whose morale was already low and whose military spirit was unstable, defend the city?
This is why Ye Feng insisted on defending his position and blocking the enemy at the beginning of the battle.
According to Ye Feng’s strategic plan, no Japanese devils in Taiyuan would be able to leave Shanxi alive.
He wanted to fill the Taiyuan area with the corpses of the Japanese devils and completely shatter their imperial dream.
Taiyuan buried the Japanese imperial dream.
Not to mention that more than 20,000 people were killed, even if it was twice as many, Ye Feng felt that the price was worth paying.
For the next three days, Ye Feng was still at the headquarters, deploying troops and generals. While organizing the defense, he also sent several small forces to harass the enemy from the flanks to reduce the pressure on the front.
Just as the Battle of Taiyuan was in full swing, an urgent intelligence report was delivered to the headquarters.
"Commander, according to the latest news, our two companies deployed in Wuxiang were suddenly attacked by a large number of enemies not long ago."
"Wuxiang has been lost. The enemy is using mechanization to march quickly and attack Qixian."
"According to intelligence, this sudden enemy should be the Japanese army from Hebei. They have a reinforced full-strength regiment, about 8000 soldiers, and carry a large number of heavy weapons."
After listening to Zhang Ye's words, Ye Feng thought quickly and gave a decisive order:
"Order a reserve regiment of 5000 men to assemble immediately and deploy to the southern part of Qixian and Yushe."
"Another order is to send another 5000-man reserve regiment eastward through Jinzhong to defend Shouyang and Heshun."
"Once you spot the incoming enemy, defend on the spot and rely on depth to stop the enemy."
"Tell the commander of the reserve regiment that I don't care what tactics they use, but they must keep the two enemy reinforcements from Hebei out of the Taiyuan battlefield and hold out for half a month."
Zhang Ye asked in confusion, "Commander, according to intelligence, the enemy only sent reinforcements from Wuxiang."
Ye Feng asked, "If you were the Japanese commander in Taiyuan, what would you do?"
Wuxiang in the south is in a state of emergency.
Ye Feng was 100% sure that the enemy had more than one reinforcement force. There must be another force attacking Jinzhong and heading straight for Taiyuan from the east.
Zhang Ye said, "The enemy is coming with such force that it would be difficult to stop them with just the reserve regiment's strength, right?"
Ye Feng asked, "In your opinion, which of the enemy's reinforcements from the south or the east is the strongest?"
Zhang Ye said, "The Japanese troops coming from Wuxiang are outflanking us from behind and threatening our rear. This group should be the strongest."
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "You are wrong. The enemy is very clear about the development of the situation around Taiyuan. They know that even if they attack us from behind, they cannot encircle us without a hundred thousand troops."
"How many people have they got so far? A regiment of 8,000 people can only threaten our rear or cut off our transportation routes."
"So the most deadly threat should be the enemy reinforcements from the east."
"As long as they retake Jinzhong, they will be able to connect with Taiyuan City, which will give them huge strategic depth whether they are attacking or defending."
to be honest.
Now most of Shanxi has been recaptured by the underground party troops.
No matter how hard the Japanese devils struggled head-on, they could not hold on. It was only a matter of time before the whole of Shanxi fell.
Since the underground party's offensive in Shanxi could no longer be stopped, the Japanese became conservative.
Otherwise, they would withdraw all their main forces from Hebei and send them to Shanxi to fight.
But Japan today no longer has this kind of courage.
"Telegram to all the troops and ask them to defend their own lines. If there is an opportunity, they can also wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
"Also have Commander Song's detachment in the middle dispatch two battalions of troops and keep them on standby to deal with the enemy reinforcements from Wuxiang."
"Notify Liu and Deng's army, and tell Commander Liu and the others that we are almost wiped out in Taiyuan. If they don't come, we will have to collect the bodies of the 12th Army."
After making all kinds of war deployments, Zhang Ye was left to guard the headquarters, while Ye Feng took the guard company and led the reserve regiment to march into Jinzhong immediately.
The Japs coming from Hebei were quickly detected by scouts, and it was discovered that there was a Japanese brigade of over ten thousand people.
Facing this demoralized reinforcement, Ye Feng did not defend. He led 5000 soldiers, hiding during the day and moving at night, and quietly went around the enemy's rear. During this period, all the Japanese reconnaissance pioneers on the road were secretly killed by Ye Feng who turned on the map scanning system. He waited until four o'clock in the morning, and took advantage of the Japanese devils' exhaustion before he launched an attack with the entire army, divided into three routes, and launched a large-scale attack, rushing towards the enemy's camp.
When the charge sounded.
The 5000 soldiers of the reserve regiment were only a hundred meters away from the enemy camp. Accompanied by a burst of intensive grenade explosions, the soldiers fired and charged at the same time and quickly broke into the enemy camp.
Ye Feng was still in the lead, leading the most combat-effective guard company to tear apart the enemy's strongholds on the periphery.
Then they drove straight in and attacked the Japanese brigade headquarters.
Because it was a sudden attack, the Japanese soldiers were still confused at this time. They gathered hastily, only to find that the camp was in great chaos and they were completely unable to return to the team. They could only fight on their own and hastily respond and fight back.
"Oh no! Our headquarters exploded and all the officers have been killed." Someone shouted in panic.
At this moment.
The Japanese did not collapse completely. They relied on the command of low-level officers to continuously gather their troops and save the situation to some extent.
However, as time went by, under the charge of Ye Feng who was like a tiger descending from the mountain, the hastily organized resistance teams of the Japanese were defeated one after another, and the camp was littered with corpses and a river of blood.
In the end, even the Japanese artillery and machine gun positions were swept away.
Seeing that they could no longer hold on, the Japanese officers could only give orders: "The main force of the underground party has already rushed in. Retreat quickly and evacuate to the east."
Next, it turned into a one-sided pursuit.
Ye Feng led the reserve regiment in a frantic pursuit, from the west of Jinzhong all the way to Shouyang, Heshun and other places.
In the end, only more than a thousand people survived from this mighty Japanese brigade that came to support, and they fled back to Hebei in disgrace.
The reserve regiment was left to garrison in this area to continue blocking enemy reinforcements from Hebei.
Ye Feng led the guard company and galloped through the night, using the captured trucks, heading straight for Wuxiang in the south.
In less than two days, the Japanese regiment in Wuxiang was once again defeated and annihilated by Ye Feng's team.
This is the end.
The enemy in Taiyuan has become an isolated force.
Five days later.
Liu and Deng's army finally arrived and, together with the 12th Army, surrounded the entire Taiyuan.
The desperate Japanese troops in Taiyuan did not sit idly by and wait for death.
They saw that the underground party's forces were weak in the north, so they decisively launched an attack at night in an attempt to break out by force.
I don't know.
Most of the main forces of Liu and Deng's army were lying in ambush in the Yangqu area, waiting for the Japanese troops in Taiyuan to enter the ambush circle.
This ambush and annihilation battle lasted for a day and a night.
In the end, these more than 40,000 main Japanese troops were surrounded by two large armies of the underground party and completely annihilated in the Yangqu area.
The good news of successfully recovering Taiyuan and destroying the enemy's 100,000 main forces immediately spread across the country and throughout China.
