The commander of the stronghold was a lieutenant. When he rushed out of the room, he saw the artillery tower collapse into a pile of ruins.

Before he could feel heartbroken, he asked to his subordinate who looked panicked in front of him: "Who is attacking us? He is even equipped with mountain cannons!"

Like the commander, Cao Cao saw the artillery tower lying in front of him when he went out. He didn't know the situation outside the stronghold. When facing the commander's questioning, he could only keep shaking his head: "I don't know what's going on? Go and check now!"

"But I guess the enemy attacking the stronghold is the National Salvation Army. Only they have the strength to equip the infantry with mountain cannons. The Eighth Route Army rarely even has mortars, let alone dispatching two mountain cannons at once!"

The commander also thought of the National Salvation Army, and then a look of fear appeared on his face.

The National Salvation Army is too alternative among all the nearby Chinese troops.

Although the Eighth Route Army had strong fighting willpower and was not afraid of death like the Imperial Army on the battlefield, they had poor equipment and were pitifully less ammunition.

When fighting against them, as long as the Imperial Army set up all the heavy weapons and suppressed them, no matter how strong the fighting will is, they are no match for the Imperial Army. Therefore, they generally do not dare to fight with the Imperial Army head-on, and they dare not attack the artillery towers and strongholds garrisoned by the Imperial Army.

Although the Jinsui Army was well equipped and did not lack ammunition, their combat will not be as good as the Eighth Route Army. Especially some officers, if they were a little unhappy on the battlefield, they would retreat in order to preserve their strength.

On the frontal battlefield, they often have to concentrate several times their strength advantage before they have the courage to fight against the Imperial Army.

The National Salvation Army just merged the advantages of the two troops. It not only had good equipment, but also had a strong fighting will.

Without the support of aircraft and heavy artillery, the National Salvation Army with the same force is no worse than the Imperial Army at all, and is even better than the Imperial Army in some aspects. The only disadvantage is that their ability to fight bayonets is not as good as that of the Imperial Army.

But they took a different approach and avoided bayonets with the Imperial Army on the battlefield through shotguns, and made up for this shortcoming at once.

Faced with such a strong army, although the lieutenant occupied the artillery tower under his feet and had more than 100 troops in his hands, he did not have the confidence to keep the stronghold in his heart.

If the troops attacking oneself are really the National Salvation Army, the other party can fight without any power to fight back as long as they send a reinforcement company.

As for the artillery towers and castles that the troops usually rely on, they may also be called a killer weapon in front of ordinary troops. When they are equipped with mountain cannons, they will immediately turn into coffins.

It was like the artillery tower that had been blown into ruins, not only failed to protect the safety of the artillery tower garrison, but also accelerated their demise.

The enemy killed just four shells and completely destroyed the artillery tower, buried more than 20 soldiers in the ruins. The only heavy machine gun in the stronghold garrison was buried, causing heavy losses.

After saying that, President Cao rushed towards a castle not far away. Now the artillery tower is gone, and only there can be seen the latest situation outside the stronghold.

But his luck today was really bad. As soon as his front foot rushed into the castle, a ball of fire flashed in front of his eyes, and the explosion sounded in his ears at the same time. Then he felt himself flying up and hit something heavily, and he lost consciousness in an instant.

The commander saw with his own eyes that the castle where Chang Cao rushed into was flooded with a ball of fire and then bombed into a pile of ruins.

My heart suddenly became cold, my face began to turn white, and I slowly lost hope.

According to the enemy's current fighting style, within three minutes, several castles surrounding the stronghold will be blown into ruins.

Until now, I still haven't figured out the identity of my opponent.

Fortunately, Cao Changse hurried over at this time, and reported with panic while gasping: "Sir, we were attacked by at least one enemy reinforcement company. They were equipped with two mountain cannons and at least two heavy machine guns. We must immediately ask for help from the surrounding troops!"

"Who is the enemy!" The commander asked nervously with his eyes staring at Cao Chang.

"I don't know!" Cao Chang shook his head: "They are wearing the Imperial Army uniforms, and I don't know if they are real Imperial Army or fake Imperial Army?"

"Of course it's fake!" The commander made a judgment without hesitation.

"Do you think the Imperial Army has the courage to attack us? And they also equipped two mountain cannons. As far as I know, the Imperial Army at the regiment level rarely equipped with mortars, let alone mountain cannons?"

"The enemy who attacks us must be the National Salvation Army?"

President Cao asked in confusion: "If it were the National Salvation Army, why did they wear the Royal Army uniforms to attack us? Do they want us to have doubts about the Royal Army and destroy our relationship with the Royal Army?"

"If this is true, the National Salvation Army will underestimate us too much. After a little analysis, you will know that no Imperial Army nearby dares to betray the Imperial Army. In order to provoke the relationship between us and the Imperial Army, the conspiracy to break itself without any attack!"

The commander frowned and analyzed: "I don't know why the National Salvation Army wanted to do this extravagantly, deliberately wearing the Royal Army uniform to attack us."

"But there is one thing you are right: the opponent's offensive is too strong, and the strength of the two sides is huge, and it will definitely not last long with our own strength."

"We must immediately ask for help from the surrounding garrisons, especially the command center. They are equipped with armored vehicles and can reach the battlefield within half an hour by taking the railway."

"You immediately order the garrisons in other castles to evacuate the castles. We rely on the ground positions to defend the strongholds and block the enemy's attack at all costs."

"I'll call my superiors now and ask for support!"

The commander of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan has been sitting in his position for more than two hours. He has sometimes looked ferocious, sometimes gritted his teeth, and kept clenching his fists with both hands, angry and frustrated...

More than two hours ago, the commander who had been with the army for a long time finally received the latest battle situation sent back from the front line.

The battle situation was worse than he thought.

In addition to the destruction of the three interspersed troops, the attacking troops in the main force also suffered a devastating blow under the front and back attacks of the Eighth Route Army.

The Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army lost more than 4,000 people.

Another thing that made the army commander feel heartbroken.

Although the military headquarters immediately issued a retreat order to the Imperial Army, which pretended to be the National Rescue Army, it was still too late.

As a result, they not only failed to force the independent regiment to divide the troops, but also became the culprits in helping the independent regiment to replace the pillars, sending a large amount of light and heavy equipment to the independent regiment...

The successive bad news made the commander both heartbroken and angry. He sat in his seat with a calm face for more than two hours, without thinking about food and food...

"Sir, something happened to the Zhengtai Railway!" A nervous scream suddenly rang out at the command department.

The commander, who had not moved for more than two hours, finally made a move.

Compared with the frontline sweep, the safety of the Zhengtai Railway is also very important.

It not only concerns the railway connection between Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, but also whether the ammunition supply of the army can be transported on time after counting the Shanxi front line.
