The pepper smoke bomb dealt a huge blow to Junichi Aoki. The spicy and pungent smell made Junichi Aoki feel very uncomfortable. He really couldn't understand why the enemy had such a strange weapon. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he had to admit that it was meaningless to continue fighting like this, and it would only increase his own casualties.
Especially after being infected with the plague, he felt very uncomfortable. Junichi Aoki had already thought about retreating. But now was not the time to retreat. Even if he wanted to retreat, he had to wait until night. He strictly ordered all troops to continue fighting the enemy and defend their positions at all costs!
Lin Zhenhua scoffed at Jun'ichi Aoki's resistance. After discovering that the pepper smoke bomb was useful, he ordered the arsenal to produce it at full capacity on the one hand, and on the other hand continued the previous offensive rhythm to reduce his own casualties!
"Captain Chu, tell your brothers not to be too hasty and just maintain the current speed of attack. We can't give the Japanese a chance to launch a sneak attack, and we can't fall into their trap just to attack!"
Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement and replied excitedly, "College student, I will personally arrange this matter and will never let anyone deviate from the offensive route. You can rest assured about this. If anyone dares to disobey military orders, I, Chu Yunfei, will definitely not be polite!"
After getting Chu Yunfei's assurance, Lin Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief. He contacted Li Yunlong via radio and explained to him in detail how to use the pepper smoke bomb.
"Old Li, the pepper smoke bomb has achieved very good results in Taiyuan City. I think it can be promoted in the Niangzi Pass battlefield. I have urgently mobilized a squadron of dive bombers to provide you with the pepper smoke bomb delivery!"
"When dropping pepper smoke bombs, you can't choose to do so in windy weather. You must be patient and don't drop pepper smoke bombs randomly when conditions do not allow. The production of pepper smoke bombs is still very troublesome. We can save as much as we can!"
It was the first time that Li Yunlong heard of the weapon called pepper smoke bomb. Especially after learning that it had achieved great results in street fighting, Li Yunlong was even more curious. Even if Lin Zhenhua didn't mention it, he would ask Lin Zhenhua for a part of it to use in the attack on the defenders of Niangzi Pass!
"College student, I, Li Yunlong, have never been confused about major issues. You can rest assured! The defenders of Niangzi Pass have been stunned by my bombing. Now they are completely relying on the positions in their hands to resist stubbornly. If I want to take down all the positions in Niangzi Pass, it will take too long. Only by taking shortcuts can I take down the Niangzi Pass positions in a very short time."
"According to the intelligence gathered from all sides, the Japanese 12th Army has begun mobilizing its forces, and a huge encirclement has been initially formed. If we can't take Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass before the 15th, we will most likely be surrounded by the Japanese. Now we don't have much time left. We can't hesitate like before. We must be determined and complete the task within the scheduled time at all costs!"
Lin Zhenhua agreed with Li Yunlong's proposal very much, and he also felt a huge pressure now. The fake plague operation would be exposed soon. Once the Japanese came to their senses and had not yet taken Taiyuan City, the war would immediately fall into a stalemate, and the Japanese's central blooming tactics would succeed. At that time, he might really become a prisoner of the Japanese. This was definitely not to boost the Japanese's morale and destroy his prestige, but the situation was like this.
"Old Li, I agree with your proposal. I will go to discuss with Captain Chu and speed up the attack of the troops. No matter what, we must capture Taiyuan City before 14 o'clock on the evening of the th!"
The two men who reached a consensus quickly took action. They mobilized all the forces they could and launched a fierce attack on Taiyuan City and Niangzi Pass, putting tremendous pressure on the Japanese and puppet troops.
Junichi Aoki had no choice but to shrink his troops and arranged a battalion to attack the west gate, preparing to evacuate Taiyuan City at night. After learning of Junichi Aoki's strategic intention, Lin Zhenhua did not order his troops to reduce the intensity of the attack, but instead acted more anxiously, just to make the devils believe that he, Lin Zhenhua, did not want to let the devils in Taiyuan City leave, in order to cover up the exposed flaws.
As expected, Junichi Aoki was fooled and mobilized more troops to retake the city gate, which was exactly what Lin Zhenhua wanted. Chu Yunfei was very puzzled by Lin Zhenhua's actions, so he rushed back to the headquarters to inquire. After learning about Lin Zhenhua's combat intentions, he was greatly encouraged.
"College student, your judgment is absolutely correct. Junichi Aoki has already planned to escape. We really can't weaken the offensive at this time. Instead, we must intensify the offensive and create a false impression for Junichi Aoki that we intend to annihilate him!"
"By then, Junichi Aoki will panic, and those devils infected with the fake plague will gradually lose their confidence in resistance. On the one hand, this will be beneficial to our subsequent attack, and on the other hand, it can turn the fake plague into a real plague, putting huge psychological pressure on the devils and puppet troops in the city!"
With the support of Chu Yunfei, Lin Zhenhua once again intensified the offensive on Taiyuan city. The battle lasted until 8:30 in the evening, inflicting huge casualties on the Japanese and occupying half of the area of Taiyuan city.
"Bagayalu! Our enemy is too cunning and has seen through our intention to retreat. Fortunately, we have seized the west gate at all costs. Immediately notify all the troops that are planning to leave to follow me out of the city! For those who don't want to leave, let them stay!"
Under Jun'ichi Aoki's order, most of the Japanese left Taiyuan City, and all the puppet troops escaped. Only a small number of wounded Japanese and stubborn Japanese soldiers stayed behind. The total number of personnel was only four squadrons, less than 800 people.
Lin Zhenhua did not launch an attack at night. He let Jun'ichi Aoki leave openly. It was not that he did not want to intercept him, but he knew that he had little time left. He needed to race against time with the Japanese. No matter what, he had to occupy Taiyuan City before 14 o'clock on the evening of the th.
"Captain Chu, let the soldiers have a good rest. After the Japanese leave, take down the West City Gate again. The troops will launch a general attack tomorrow. No matter what the cost, the battle must be ended before 8 o'clock in the evening!"
Chu Yunfei did not dare to delay and immediately passed the order down. The 358th Regiment and the Armored Regiment began to rest before the decisive battle. The kitchen team delivered hot meals to the soldiers, so that all the soldiers had a midnight snack!
