Chapter 660: Pepper smoke bomb. This is the first time the young lady has gotten married. I never ex

Chu Yunfei had no objection to Lin Zhenhua's bombardment. He also felt that putting some pressure on the devils could have unexpected effects. However, this time, the two misjudged and only more than 4000 devil soldiers were left in Taiyuan City, led by Junichi Aoki, who fled into Taiyuan City in disgrace.

After learning that the Miyamoto Division and the Asano Division had already evacuated in advance, leaving only a regiment of troops to defend the city, Junichi Aoki was so angry that he screamed. Especially after learning that he was also infected with the plague, he no longer had the intention of retreating and decided to engage in street fighting with Lin Zhenhua in Taiyuan City.

"Bagayalu! Send a telegram to the Commander immediately. I, Junichi Aoki, will lead the remaining troops to hold Taiyuan City until reinforcements arrive!"

In order to allow Taiyuan City to last longer, Aoki Jun'ichi sent his last battalion to join the battle to defend the city. He arranged a battalion of soldiers to guard the four city gates, and the remaining 4000 people hid directly in Taiyuan City, trying to resist Lin Zhenhua's attack in this way.

The shelling started at 9:30 in the evening and lasted for three hours before it ended. A total of three city walls were destroyed and two city gates were half-collapsed. However, after being urgently repaired by the Japanese, the effect of the shelling did not achieve the intended purpose.

Lin Zhenhua took the breakfast brought by Duan Peng and ate it in big mouthfuls. It took him only five minutes to finish it. He washed his face with cold water and became energetic again. He used the artillery sighting equipment to carefully observe the movements of the Japanese on the city wall, and mobilized two teams of reconnaissance aircraft to conduct reconnaissance in Taiyuan City.

An hour later, the investigation yielded results. Looking at the photos and intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Lin Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction. He really didn't expect that the main force of the Japanese in Taiyuan City had withdrawn. This further confirmed that his fake plague operation had not failed, but on the contrary was a huge success. This made him even more confident in taking over Taiyuan City.

"Captain Chu, Chief of Staff Fang, these are the photos and intelligence that the reconnaissance plane just sent back. You two should take a look at them quickly. The main force of the Japanese has withdrawn from Taiyuan City. The number of Japanese remaining in the city should be around 5000. It sounds difficult to fight, but compared to fighting two Japanese divisions, we can still defeat this number of Japanese soldiers!"

"In order to capture Taiyuan City as quickly as possible, I have asked Zhao Gang to urgently airlift a battalion of troops to strengthen our current strength. With our current strength, it is too difficult to capture Taiyuan City in a very short time. We have fought street battles before, and the casualties in this kind of battle are too high. I decided to use a secret weapon, smoke bombs, to force the Japanese out of the rooms and tunnels!"

"Captain Chu, your 358th Regiment will be responsible for the main attack, and the Armored Regiment will provide you with fire cover. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to turn Taiyuan City into ruins. It will be useless for us to capture it."

Chu Yunfei accepted the order without any hesitation, and replied with a serious face: "College students, my 358th Regiment is willing to take on the main attack mission this time. At the same time, I am very grateful for the compensation given by the college students. The south of Taiyuan City belongs to the armored regiment, and the north of Taiyuan City belongs to my 358th Regiment. In this way, I, Chu Yunfei, have an explanation to the old superior. I, Chu Yunfei, am very happy and lucky to be able to fight the devils with college students!"

"Brother Ligong, have the brothers get ready. Once the college students have opened up the attack channel to Taiyuan City, have the brothers attack the city immediately. No matter what the cost, we must take down Taiyuan City for me!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's command, dive bombers began to drop smoke bombs at low altitude. Thick smoke rose from the ground. The Japanese soldiers in the building began to cough violently. Their eyes were smoked and they could not see anything, so they had to run outside.

At the same time, the artillery battalion also launched an artillery attack on the Taiyuan city wall. In just less than ten minutes, a gap was opened in the wall again. Then, more than a dozen tanks and more than 20 armored vehicles attacked the breach. After losing two tanks and three armored vehicles, they successfully entered the city.

As a steady stream of armored troops and infantry entered the city of Taiyuan, street fighting with the Japanese officially began. In order to reduce casualties among the troops, smoke bombs began to be used in large quantities. Although the efficiency of such an attack was not high, it was very effective.

Most of the Japanese soldiers were so sick from the chili smoke that they were crying. Once they coughed, their position would be exposed. A mortar shell would directly blow the Japanese soldiers to pieces.

Jun'ichi Aoki never dreamed that Lin Zhenhua would use such a trick against him. He immediately ordered his men to wear gas masks, but it didn't work at all. The spicy smell of chili smoke could not be filtered out. In addition, not everyone had a gas mask, and nearly half of them didn't have a gas mask at all. They couldn't hide themselves in the smoke at all.

Lin Zhenhua did not expect that the pepper smoke bomb given by the system was so easy to use. It was simply a powerful weapon for street fighting, especially in windless weather. The effect was surprisingly good.

"College students, the troops' attack is going very smoothly. We have only suffered more than 300 casualties so far. We have successfully captured 1/8 of Taiyuan City. We estimate that in two days, we will be able to capture the entire Taiyuan City."

"The main reason is that we can't launch an attack at night. We can only be forced to defend. Otherwise, with the help of pepper smoke bombs, we can take down Taiyuan City in a day and a half at most. I, Chu Yunfei, have never fought such a satisfying battle. The Japanese took the initiative to run out of the building to die, but it saved us a lot of trouble."

"But some of the Japanese soldiers are really patient. Even though their faces turned red from the spiciness, they still continued to hide in the house and secretly shoot at us. Otherwise, our casualties could be reduced by half!" Chu Yunfei exclaimed with joy on his face.

Lin Zhenhua laughed heartily and said, "I was always worried that the Japanese would put up a last-ditch effort, and I was even more skeptical about the effectiveness of the pepper smoke bomb. After all, this type of smoke bomb has never been used in actual combat in order to keep it secret. It can be said that this is the first time for a young lady to get married. Fortunately, the pepper smoke bomb lived up to expectations and achieved very good results. Victory can be said to be just around the corner!"
