He originally had a squadron of subordinates guarding here, plus a battalion of puppet troops, a total of more than 500 people.
Coupled with the solid city defenses at its feet, the command headquarters reinforced its own more than twenty light and heavy machine guns.
Even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army comes and has heavy artillery, I am confident that I can hold the city wall for at least one day.
But now, he has no confidence at all, not even the confidence to hold the city wall for half a day!
An infantry squadron, in order to kill the Eighth Route Army outside the city, was transferred by the headquarters. Only one infantry squad was left, specifically responsible for operating the nine towers on this section of the city wall to kill you.
"Sir, the commander of the Taiyuan Security Brigade is here!"
"Nani, the Eighth Route Army has almost reached the foot of the city wall, what is he doing here?" the squadron leader asked with a frown.
The subordinate shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but he brought more than a dozen people with him. They all seem to be imperial soldiers! Do you want to ask?"
The squadron leader wanted to refuse.
From the bottom of his heart, he despised the traitors in the Security Brigade, even though they were serving the imperial army.
But after hesitating for a while, he still walked over. This garrison brigade commander was very capable and trusted by the headquarters. Even the commander of the front army knew about him and publicly commended him!
"Faced with such a famous person, he will never take the initiative to offend him unless absolutely necessary."
In addition, he brought a dozen Japanese with him, and the squadron leader even had to go to greet them.
The rank of the garrison brigade commander is there. The Japanese who can let him lead the way in person are definitely not low in rank, and they must be higher than himself.
"They are!" the Japanese squadron leader asked in a low voice.
The commander of the security brigade hesitated and replied: "People from the Front Military Police Headquarters came to Taiyuan City to secretly investigate some things. There seems to be something they want on the city wall!"
"Front Military Police Headquarters!" The squadron leader was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then stood aside without saying a word.
These people are too far away from me and do not belong to the same department, so there is almost no need to interact with them.
More importantly, no matter who in the military is targeted by them, they will be in bad luck.
So no matter how you look at it, I don't want to have anything to do with them.
After saying hello briefly, he planned to return to his headquarters on the city wall.
What surprised him was that the security brigade commander actually led them to follow him all the way to the headquarters.
"They asked by name to enter the headquarters to check something!" Just as the squadron leader was about to speak, the guard brigade commander who followed him waved his hand and replied with a wry smile.
The person following the guard brigade commander was none other than Li Wen, who had met and interacted with him before.
Last time, I used my identity as the investigation team of the Front Military Police Headquarters to obtain the Taiyuan city defense map.
This time he planned to repeat his old trick and capture the north gate of Taiyuan City.
After signaling the two team members to guard the door, Li Wen, who was following the security brigade commander, waved his hand and issued the action order.
The dagger hidden in the sleeve was quickly taken out, and the two team members stared at a Japanese. In the blink of an eye, the guard brigade commander was the only one left in the room, staring at Li Wen dumbfounded.
"Aren't you Japanese?"
"Yes, we are the Eighth Route Army~" Li Wen no longer concealed anything and answered directly.
"Taiyuan City is about to be captured by our Eighth Route Army. I heard that you have good commanding skills. I should have analyzed it!"
"The reason why we needlessly call you to the city wall at this time is for one purpose: to reduce the casualties of our Eighth Route Army. At the same time, it will save the soldiers of the garrison brigade from dying in the siege battle!"
"Have you heard the gunshots in the city? As expected, the Japanese headquarters in the city, the military police headquarters, and some important warehouses and arsenals will all be occupied by our people in half an hour at most!"
"Cooperate with us, make meritorious service, and let more people in the garrison brigade survive."
"Or continue to work for the Japanese, be a dog for the rest of your life, and let future generations be influenced by you and wear the label of traitor, your choice!"
"Our troops are already ready outside the city. We only give you a minute to think about it!"
The guard brigade commander was stunned, but his heart was very shaken.
Just now, he was still thinking about asking the Japanese military police as soon as possible to find a way to sneak out of Taiyuan City when it was destroyed.
Now it seems that my dream was shattered before it even started!
Thinking of Li Wen's threat just now, especially the impact that his life for the Japanese might have on future generations, the brigade commander who was ready to negotiate terms could only lower his head and drag his head.
Outside Taiyuan City, Xiao Yunshan, who had more than 400 people left in his hands, had already assembled food supplies and was approaching the city gate step by step, where there was no movement yet.
"Put up the cannon immediately!" Xiao Yunshan ordered with a serious look.
Then a pair of eyes just stared at the city gate, expecting a miracle to happen.
I don’t believe Li Wen, he was brought out by the group leader.
Since he said that a miracle would happen at the north gate and there would be troops to help him enter the city, then a miracle must happen.
"White flag, battalion commander, a white flag has been erected on the city wall!" Suddenly, an excited voice rang in my ears, and then I saw a white flag sticking out from the battlements.
"The city gate is open!" Another exclamation sounded in my ears.
The closed gates of Taiyuan City slowly opened a gap, opening wider and wider, and finally they were all opened!
"Batalion Commander, I'll lead the men in right now!" The new battalion commander of the second battalion next to him shouted in shock and excitement.
"Wait a minute, I haven't seen the signal to enter the city yet!" Xiao Yunshan suppressed the urge to rush in and answered calmly.
"There are lights on the walls!"
Xiao Yunshan's eyes lit up and he quickly looked over. The expression on his face was obviously more excited than before.
A flashlight light came over, flashed three times in a row and then stopped!
"I saw the signal to receive the troops. The troops will enter the city immediately. Once inside, follow Captain Li's command!" Xiao Yunshan ordered excitedly, without any hesitation anymore!
Siege headquarters outside Taiyuan City.
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong rushed in excitedly and shouted from a distance.
"We win, Commander, Commander Cheng, we win!"
"Li Wen reported that the latent troops have captured the Japanese Taiyuan City headquarters, captured the military police headquarters, and killed the Japanese Lieutenant General in Chief!"
"Also, with their support, Xiao Yunshan has led his troops into the city!"
"There is also an independent group, they are about to enter the city!"
"The little devil in Taiyuan City is over! I didn't expect that we took Taiyuan City in just two nights!" Cheng Xiao said excitedly.
Wang Ping was also very excited. He stared at the chief of staff and ordered: "The remaining Japanese and puppet troops inside and outside the city must be leaderless. Order the attacking troops to advance step by step and kill them. Don't worry!"
"Also, please report the victory to the headquarters and ask the headquarters to contact the Taihang Military Region and prepare to organize the people to evacuate Taiyuan City!"
