Yoshio Iwamatsu was also afraid of following in the footsteps of Yoshio Shinozuka.
It only took the Eighth Route Army three days to conquer Taiyuan. The battle ended so quickly that even if the total strength of the First Army reached 100,000, and even if the Second Army and the Mongolian Army Corps dispatched troops, there was no time to rescue them.
Before this, probably no one could have imagined that the Eighth Route Army would take three days to capture Taiyuan.
If Yoshio Shinozuka built more fortifications in Taiyuan and could hold Taiyuan for half a month or even a month, the results might be different.
Yoshio Iwamatsu knew very well that one should never treat the Eighth Route Army with common sense.
While trying to kill all the Eight Route Army and completely eliminate them, you must not take it lightly and prevent the Eight Route Route Army from jumping up and biting you.
If the bite was not a vital part, it would be okay. But if the Eighth Route Army were to bite out another black tiger like this time in the Taiyuan battle, it would be very bad.
…
Three days later.
Zhaojiayu Village, New Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong was studying the map.
Since the battle in Dagu Town, the 36th Division has not attacked again, but has resorted to the cage blockade method again.
The common people were driven to build trenches, bunkers and gun towers outside the base areas.
Ordinary gun towers and strongholds are naturally unable to block the new group.
Therefore, the Japanese built reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers this time.
If these bunkers and gun towers could be made similar to those of the Maginot Line, they could even block howitzer attacks.
However, with the Japs' resources, it is impossible to build them all into such large bunkers. If they can withstand the attack of 75mm mountain artillery, it is considered very good.
Staring at the map, Li Yunlong sneered: "When the expansion of labor and management's troops is completed, it is not certain who will block who."
Guard Huang Erhu hurriedly walked in and reported: "Report to the commander, the pilots and battalion-level officers escorted by Langya Squadron have arrived!"
Li Yunlong looked slightly happy: "Haha, I hope for the stars and the moon, they are finally here!"
