After occupying Taiyuan City, Lin Zhenhua had a lot of things to do. He had to arrange a large number of people to build fortifications and transport cement to the rear through transport planes. This left him with no time to pay attention to the battle at Niangzi Pass.
He was busy until the evening before he had time to have a detailed talk with Li Yunlong. After learning about the plight of the independent regiment, he had a bold idea, which was to send out the unscrupulous cannons and rely on the huge destructive power of the explosive packs to inflict huge damage on the Japs.
"Old Li, if we want to take Niangzi Pass in the shortest possible time, there is only one way, and that is to send out our conscienceless cannon. This weapon is quite dangerous and has been abandoned by us before. Fortunately, we have a lot of it in stock. I have already ordered the transport aircraft formation to urgently airlift a batch to you."
"First, we will use the artillery firepower to suppress the Japanese in the position, and then use the conscienceless artillery to eliminate them. If nothing goes wrong, we will be able to take Niangzi Pass in the morning at most!" Lin Zhenhua said confidently.
Li Yunlong had never thought of this before. He slapped his thigh and jumped up from the ground, praising excitedly: "College student, you have a good brain. I didn't think of such a good idea before. I will give orders to the troops now and let the soldiers have a good rest. After dawn, we will launch a general offensive and will definitely take the last position of Niangzi Pass before 12 noon."
After finishing the call with Lin Zhenhua, Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles. He immediately ordered Zhang Dabiao to stop the night attack, let the soldiers have a good rest and have a full meal, and wait for the arrival of the general attack.
After receiving Lin Zhenhua's order, Zhao Gang did not dare to delay. He arranged for a transport plane to airlift a large number of unscrupulous cannons and explosive packs overnight, and arrived at the Niangziguan temporary airport to provide Li Yunlong with the last batch of ammunition supplies before the attack.
Li Yunlong did not delegate the task to others and personally watched over the temporary airport. He only breathed a sigh of relief after all the unscrupulous cannons and explosive packs had been unloaded.
The night passed quickly, and after a few hours of rest, the soldiers of the independent regiment quickly regained their vitality, allowing Li Yunlong, who was very worried, to breathe a sigh of relief.
After daybreak, Li Yunlong quickly called the battalion commanders and issued the latest combat missions. He made a huge adjustment to yesterday's combat missions, no longer conducting short-distance assaults, and using firepower coverage to eliminate the remaining devils on time.
"Zhang Dabiao, take all the tanks and armored vehicles in your possession and suppress the defenders of Niangzi Pass with firepower."
"Shen Quan, take the conscienceless artillery assault team and advance to a position 300 meters away from the Japanese and launch a covering artillery bombardment on the Japanese."
"Zhu Zi, you have to be more accurate when firing today. You can't hit our own people. You must suppress the Japanese in the position and reduce the casualties of the commando team!"
Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, the soldiers had a simple breakfast and then started bombarding the Japanese, achieving artillery coverage of the remaining positions in Niangzi Pass.
Booming explosions sounded one after another on the battlefield. Many Japanese were killed and wounded by shrapnel. The number of Japanese soldiers decreased sharply, especially after the conscienceless artillery was put into battle. The ten-kilogram explosive pack could shock people to death within a radius of dozens of meters. Even Ichiro Miyano almost lost his life and hid in the air-raid shelter trembling.
"Bagayalu! The enemy actually dropped explosive packs on our position. They are simply crazy. We can't continue to defend. Such sacrifice is meaningless. We must withdraw from the position as soon as possible."
"Order each team to begin retreating and leave their positions through the tunnels. As long as they can get into the mountains, they will be able to survive!"
Ichiro Miyano, who was still stubborn yesterday, immediately issued a retreat order after seeing the power of the conscienceless artillery. After suffering the casualties of another squadron, Ichiro Miyano successfully left Niangzi Pass with the remaining two Japanese squads. Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to Niangzi Pass as soon as possible, and while arranging people to build fortifications, he informed Lin Zhenhua of the good news.
"Send a telegram to the college students immediately to inform the headquarters that we have successfully captured Niangzi Pass and successfully locked the gate of Taiyuan City. The college students can sleep peacefully tonight!"
"Zhang Dabiao, lead the brothers to build defensive fortifications immediately. The Japanese's counterattack will come soon. We can't stop to rest. We must hurry to build fortifications and prepare for a big battle with the Japanese!"
The news that Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass were captured one after another was transmitted back to the base, making Zhao Gang breathe a sigh of relief. However, now was not the time to celebrate. Zhao Gang immediately ordered the transport aircraft formation to airlift weapons, ammunition and various combat supplies to the front at all costs. At the same time, two new recruits were urgently transferred from the rear to rush to the front line for support.
The Japanese 12th Army also learned the news of the successive losses of Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass. They had expected that these two places would be lost, but they did not expect them to be lost so quickly. This was completely beyond their expectations.
The fake plague that infected the Miyamoto Division and the Asano Division soon revealed its true colors. Many soldiers infected with the plague recovered without medicine. This made Ichiro Miyamoto and Ichiro Asano immediately realize that the only possibility before was a conspiracy, and the two of them were so angry that they started cursing.
"Miyamoto, we must fight back now and take back the city of Taiyuan that we lost. Otherwise, we will become the laughing stock of the North China Front Army and will be transferred to the mainland reserve. This shame will accompany us throughout our lives. We must wash away the shame at all costs and prove to the enemy that we are not cowards!" Ichiro Asano said angrily.
Miyamoto Ichiro nodded in agreement and replied anxiously: "The encirclement has been formed. We must become the spearhead of the attack and pierce the heart of the enemy. We must recapture the lost Taiyuan City in the shortest possible time and tell our enemies that deceiving us will cost a huge price!"
Upon learning the truth, the Japanese 12th Army Command immediately issued orders to the two men, requiring them to capture Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass within half a month, and also provided full air support.
"Yes! Order all troops to immediately launch a siege. We must eliminate all Chinese troops in the encirclement at all costs, even if it means wiping out our entire 12th Army. We must also solve the two major problems of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Zhaojiayu Base. The Iron Wall Encirclement Operation must succeed and not fail!"
