Taiyuan City is divided into outer city and inner city.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka, Hideyoshi Kusuyama, Momoyo Kunomura, and more than a dozen Japanese officers stood on the wall of the inner city.
All the Japanese officers raised their telescopes and looked toward the south of the city.
Due to the high terrain of the inner city wall, using the field of view of an 8x military telescope, you can not only have a panoramic view of the entire south of the city, but you can also get a general view.
In the field of view of the telescope, a fierce battle was breaking out in a brick building about 300 meters away.
There was also fighting taking place near the south wall of the outer city.
On the street not far away, there were Japanese troops and Imperial Army troops rushing to support them.
However, there are not many garrison troops in the south direction of the city, and garrison troops in the east and west directions of the city are also on their way to support.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked through the telescope and saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers and Imperial Army soldiers lying on the street, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
It seems that this group of gangsters who carried out the attack are quite powerful in combat.
It's just that no matter how strong you are, it won't help. If you dare to cause trouble in Taiyuan City with this little strength, you will eventually die.
"Kusuyama-kun, which two places did the enemy attack?" Shinozuka Yoshio turned to look at Kusuyama Hideyoshi.
"Your Majesty Commander, please wait a moment!"
Kusuyama Hideyoshi ordered several staff officers to spread out an accurate map of Taiyuan City, and then quickly found the place where fierce fighting broke out on the map.
Then, Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned around and reported: "The enemy attacked the Taiyuan war vehicle repair shop and the 'Imperial Army Rest House'. Judging from the gunfire of the fierce battle, there are at least forty or fifty enemies."
"Why did the enemy attack these two places?"
Shinozuka Yoshio frowned at first, then his expression changed: "No, the enemy wants to seize the chariot. Kusuzan-kun immediately ordered the garrison on the south city wall to block the city gate with sandbags to prevent the enemy from driving the chariot.
Escape from the south city gate."
Yoshio Shinozuka reacted quickly. He immediately thought of the key and took immediate measures.
At this time, there is no way to stop the enemy from snatching the tanks and armored vehicles. As long as they block the city gate with a large number of sandbags, the tanks and armored vehicles will not be able to get out.
As long as the ammunition in the tanks and armored vehicles is exhausted, not only can the tanks and armored vehicles be recaptured, but this group of enemies can also be captured alive.
"Your Excellency, Commander."
"The telephone line connecting to the South City Wall has been cut off. Now the messengers can only ride horses or drive to deliver orders to the garrison at the South City Wall."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi also responded quickly and said immediately.
"Then immediately send troops to send orders to the garrison at the southern city wall."
Yoshio Shinozuka ordered: "In addition, the inner city garrison is ordered to immediately attack to assist the military police, and all enemies must be eliminated within the city."
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned around and gave an order to a combat staff officer. Then the combat staff officer picked up the phone on the wall and passed on the order.
Just as the order was issued, I heard Momoyo Kunomura say: "Commander, Chief of Staff, the enemy has brought out the tanks."
At this time, more than ten minutes had passed since the first explosion.
Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi's expressions changed when they heard this, and they quickly raised their binoculars to take a look.
I saw a Type 97 tank driving out of the Taiyuan War Vehicle Repair Factory. Through the field of view of the telescope, I could clearly see the flames spurting from the tank's machine gun.
The tongue of flames whipped towards the Japanese Imperial Army on the street like a whip, and the soldiers hit by bullets fell into a pool of blood one after another.
The Japanese, Puppet, and Imperial Alliance troops blocking the street were immediately dispersed.
However, contrary to Yoshio Shinozuka's expectations, after the enemy drove the tank out, they did not drive towards the Great South Gate at the city gate, but continued to drive north along Great South Gate Street.
This situation shocked Kusuyama Hideyoshi and the Japanese officers. The enemy wanted to attack the inner city?
"No, the enemy is driving a tank to the north." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said in a hurry: "Hurry and cover the commander and General Kuno and leave here."
A group of Japanese officers and guards rushed forward to protect Shinozuka Yoshio and Kunomura Momoyo.
"Don't panic!" Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, his face as dark as water: "The enemy opened the tank to join their comrades, not to attack the inner city."
The Japanese officers then dispersed, raised their binoculars and continued to watch.
After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said in a mocking tone: "I don't know whether this enemy is smart or stupid. They grabbed the tank and didn't run away. They had to go to pick up their companions."
"Yes!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi immediately agreed, "If the enemy drove tanks out of the city immediately, they would still have a chance to escape, but now they are in a dangerous situation."
At this moment, the city gate below was opened, and a Japanese three-wheeler with a sidecar drove out first, took a detour and sent an order to the garrison in the south of the city.
Then a Type 87 armored vehicle took the lead, followed by three Type 94 trucks, followed by a large number of Japanese soldiers who rushed towards the "Imperial Army Rest House".
The Japanese artillerymen who fought fiercely used a Type 92 infantry cannon to collapse the second floor of the rest house.
Before the Japanese could fire their second shot, the approaching tanks blasted the Japanese artillerymen and Type 92 infantry artillery into the sky with one shot.
Then two tanks drove forward side by side, firing wildly with a 7.7mm heavy machine gun and a 37mm artillery piece, killing the Japanese and puppet soldiers until they abandoned their armor.
A street killing spree.
"Vice Captain, if you come here two minutes later, you will have to collect the bodies of Team 1 and Team 1." Duan Peng suddenly laughed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The monk tilted his head and signaled to get in the car quickly, "Why don't you get in the car quickly? Waiting for eight laborers to carry you in the sedan?"
Duan Peng and Li Changshun knew that reinforcements had arrived when the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery was killed, and then intensive gunfire and artillery fire, as well as the sound of tank motors, were heard on the street.
"The devil speaks as quickly as he can, so move quickly!"
Duan Peng and Li Changshun waved, several team members covered them, and several other team members carried four injured people into the Type 87 armored vehicle.
Then the uninjured team members jumped into the tank one after another. After all the team members entered the tank safely, Duan Peng and Li Changshun finally climbed into the tank.

In the meantime, Monk Wei used his telescope to see a group of Japanese soldiers standing at the crenellations on the inner city wall in the distance. They seemed to be looking here with the telescope.
At that moment, Monk Wei got into the turret, first turned the handle, then shook the handle to point the muzzle of the gun barrel at the tower.
When Duan Peng got in, he happened to see Monk Wei's eyes close to the observation hole.
"Cannonball!" Monk Wei shouted without looking back.
Duan Peng quickly took out a 47mm artillery shell from the shell box and handed it to Monk Wei.
Monk Wei turned his head and glanced at Duan Peng, then stuffed the cannonball into the barrel, closed the breech, and fired.
With a muffled thud, the tank shook slightly, and a 47mm shell came out. It missed the tower but hit the crenellations of the inner city wall, and there was a loud bang.
I secretly said it was a pity, and saw from the observation hole that the Japanese were attacking along the street, led by an armored vehicle.
"Fuck!" Monk Wei quickly shouted: "The Japanese reinforcements are here, turn around, hurry up!"
3 armored vehicles and 6 tanks quickly turned around, and the rear group changed to the front group and drove along the street towards the South Gate.
The co-pilot on the left side of the tank cab was occupied by a team member, and Duan Peng sat in the commander's position as the commander. He was also responsible for operating a 7.7 mm heavy machine gun, and Wei Monk served as the gunner.
At Duan Peng's position, I saw a Japanese armored vehicle approaching, followed by several Japanese trucks.
Although he couldn't see behind the Japanese armored vehicles and trucks, he knew without thinking that there must be a large number of Japanese behind them.
A machine gun on the Japanese armored vehicle and a light machine gun on the truck opened fire violently, and bullets hit the tank with a tinkling sound.
"Turn the turret!" Duan Peng quickly turned the turret.
The turret of the Type 87 armored vehicle cannot rotate, but the turret of the tank can rotate 360 degrees.
When the driver completed the U-turn, Duan Peng also turned the turret to point the 7.7mm heavy machine gun and the muzzle in the direction of the Japanese convoy.
Duan Peng opened fire first with his heavy machine gun, but he was unable to penetrate the armor of the Type 87 armored vehicle.
At this time, Monk Wei opened fire, and a 47mm artillery shot was fired at the Japanese armored vehicle.
The driver of the Japanese armored vehicle predicted in advance and hurriedly turned the steering wheel to avoid the shell. However, the shell did not hit the enemy. While the Japanese armored vehicle avoided it, the truck behind the armored vehicle was exposed, and the shell hit the Japanese.
The truck exploded with a bang, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on board suffered heavy casualties.
Immediately afterwards, Monk Wei fired his second 47mm artillery shell, but it was again dodged by the Japanese armored vehicle.
"Can you do it?"
"No, let me come!"
In the observation window, Duan Peng saw that Wei Monk's artillery was not able to kill the Japanese armored vehicle, and he suddenly became a little anxious.
He had checked the ammunition box before and found that there were only a few rounds of artillery shells. He would have to attack the airport and bombard the Japanese planes later.
"Let you come?"
"Bullshit!"
"Can you shoot a tank gun more accurately than I can?"
Monk Wei responded with disdain.
"Duan Peng, shoot its observation hole with a machine gun!" Monk Wei said again, "Watch me shoot him into the sky."
At that moment, Duan Peng fired a 7.7mm heavy machine gun at the observation hole of the Japanese armored vehicle.
The dense bullets hit the Japs observation hole and its surroundings, making it difficult for the Japs driver to see the direction of the muzzle ahead.
Monk Wei quickly took this opportunity to adjust the muzzle of the gun. When he saw the Japanese armored vehicle turning from the far left to the far right, he immediately fired.
The shell escaped instantly and hit the Japanese armored vehicle, making a loud bang and overturning the Japanese armored vehicle.
Monk Wei predicted the Japanese driver's prediction.
"What a beautiful fight!" Duan Peng, who saw this scene through the observation window, praised loudly.
"The rest is up to you!" The monk grinned. The remaining Japanese infantry and Japanese trucks could be dealt with with heavy machine guns. It would be a waste of shells to fire.
When Duan Peng pressed the bullet plate and fired his 7.7mm heavy machine gun towards the Japanese truck, the Japanese truck driver was shot dead and the truck was left leaning on the street.
The Japanese infantrymen behind immediately did not dare to pursue anymore.
The convoy drove at full speed, and before the Japanese had time to pile up sandbags, they blasted the city gate open with direct fire from tank guns.
Then the members of the convoy's Sword Squadron drove out of the Great South Gate in tanks and armored vehicles.
On the tower of the inner city, Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama saw the turret aiming at the inner city wall through the field of view of the telescope.
All the Japanese officers hurriedly hid in a safe position, so Monk Wei's shot did not hit the Japanese officers.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka saw the last tank disappearing under the south gate through the telescope, and his face was livid with anger.
"Baga." Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly smashed the telescope in his hand and said coldly, "I am ordering the military police captain responsible for the security of Taiyuan City to perform a cesarean operation to thank the emperor."
