Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1007: Angry Casualty Numbers

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the dawn is showing in the east. The lights are still bright in the headquarters of the direct-affiliated corps. The combat staff are nervously coming in and out. Telegrams are passed from the radio room from time to time. The conference table made of shell boxes is spread out.

There is a large map and more than a dozen phones, ringing one after another.

The staff officers who were counting the results of the battle and the number of casualties of the troops kept their voices down as much as possible and stepped lightly when entering and exiting. No one dared to disturb the division commander Tang Qiuli at this time. The anger and murderous intent felt from him made these young staff officers and

The confidential officers did not dare to express their anger. When a young female confidential officer was sending a telegram to the Communications Director Chen Feng, she saw the division commander sitting on the chair. Perhaps she was oppressed by the murderous aura, and her face turned pale.

, almost fainted.

Tang Qiuli was so angry that he wanted to kill people. Liu Zhi took the decision without authorization and sent his 11th Army into the Duyun battlefield. The damage caused by his plan was far beyond his imagination. The Battle of Duyun,

Careful planning was carried out to mobilize the strongest firepower of the ** Division, with the intention of annihilating Yamashita Fengwen's 15th Army, the Japanese ace unit, in one fell swoop.

The plan was successful, and there were no deviations during the execution. The final net was carried out, and all the remaining defeated soldiers of the Fifteenth Army were salvaged. The Battle of Duyun could be ended perfectly. The Japanese Fifteenth Army, known as

The Japanese army, which was invincible in fighting all over China, has since disappeared.

But Liu Zhi let one of his army groups with more than 90,000 troops suddenly step in, which not only affected the course of the battle, but also changed the outcome of the battle. It also affected the seven brigades on the Western Front that were blocking more than 300,000 Japanese troops.

The troops, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, broke out from the direction of Xiyunfeng, just behind the troops on the Western Front.

After the defeat, the remnants of the Japanese Fifteenth Army did not have the guts to attack the troops on the Western Front from behind. However, the troops on the Western Front were outnumbered, and even a small group of Japanese remnants accidentally attacked them.

Breaking into the rear of the troops will have an immeasurable impact on the blocking battle.

This remnant of the Japanese troops who had broken out of the encirclement must not be allowed to get close to them. Troops were dispatched to pursue them at key points in Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaimen, forcing them to Guiding and Fuquan in northern Guizhou. Tang Qiuli had to make temporary changes.

Some plans.

He called Chen Feng and ordered, "Send a telegram to Chutian in Duyun City, and the entire special operations detachment will be dispatched to pursue the remaining Japanese troops who broke out from the direction of Xiyunfeng, with the ultimate goal of not affecting the Western Front Blockade.

Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang sent a telegram to dispatch the 9th and 12th brigades of the directly affiliated corps from the direction of Mashan, as well as the 3rd and 4th brigades of Feng Jiwu's corps, and immediately rushed to Duyun to participate in the battle against the Japanese 15th Army.

Pursuit and annihilation of the remaining troops.”

After Chen Feng recorded the order and repeated it, just as he was about to leave, Tang Qiuli asked: "Has the First Brigade reported the whereabouts of Yamashita Fengwen?" Chen Feng shook his head, and Tang Qiuli became even more worried, if Yamashita Fengwen escaped by chance.

, he still has nearly 10,000 troops in his hand. This crazy guy will definitely choose any one of the four targets and stab him in the back.

"Order Chang Feng to lead the two brigades directly under the corps to take cars and rush to Duyun as quickly as possible. The two brigades from Feng Jiwu's corps will follow up later," he added. Chen Feng left, and a

The young staff officer came in, carefully handed him a few pages, and said: "Division Commander, here are the casualties of the fighting troops last night that have just been calculated."

When Tang Qiuli saw it, he almost shouted in surprise. In the battle to clear out the remaining Japanese troops, the first brigade suffered 893 casualties in one night, of which 569 were killed.

It was too big, beyond his imagination, and what was even more difficult for him to accept was that in the battle with the remaining Japanese troops, the First Brigade suffered only more than 80 casualties, but the more than 800 casualties were all caused by Liu Zhi's 11th Brigade of the Central Army.

It was caused by the group army, how could this happen?

Tang Qiuli asked silently, seeming to be asking the staff, and also seemed to be asking himself. The staff added: "Commander, there are also Captain Cao Guozhu, the trainee commander of the third regiment, fourth battalion and first company, and sixty-eight soldiers of the company are missing, because there are no

I saw the body, so it was not included in the list of casualties."

Tang Qiuli asked with bitterness and suspicion: "Is this casualty list accurate?" The young staff officer blushed. He did not allow others to doubt his ability to work, even if he was the first person in the ** division.

Division Commander Tang Qiuli couldn't do it either, "Commander, this is the number that I have carefully checked with each unit three times. I guarantee it with my honor as a soldier and it is absolutely accurate. If there is any discrepancy, the division commander can immediately expel me from the military."

The young staff officer said loudly.

Tang Qiuli looked at the young staff officer in surprise, and said gently: "It's not that I doubt your seriousness in your work, but I can't believe this number. Okay, you can go down." The young staff officer's face returned to normal.

, and glanced at the teacher gratefully.

Tang Qiu closed the folder and closed his eyes weakly. It made him heartbroken. The shocking number of casualties, if added to the 69 missing people, exceeded a thousand. This was the number of casualties since the ** Division troops regained North China.

It was the first time that such a large casualty occurred, and the casualties were not caused in combat with the Japanese army.

"Huzi, get ready. I'm going to see Liu Zhi in the morning. This debt should be settled with him," Tang Qiuli ordered Shanhu to arrive. Just as Shanhu was about to go out to make arrangements, he saw several soldiers escorting a central

The military colonel walked in and immediately followed him back.

"Report to the division commander, in accordance with the order of our brigade commander, colonel Long Rubai, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 51st Division of the 9th Army of the 11th Group Army of the Central Army, will be escorted to custody," a lieutenant who led the team said simply and neatly, Shan Huyi

With a wave of his hand, several soldiers from the guard brigade came in and escorted Long Rubai into the headquarters. Then, he stood behind Tang Qiuli like a king.

Tang Qiuli looked coldly at Long Rubai, who was confused and at a loss. Long Rubai was completely confused now. His remaining hundreds of soldiers were all disarmed by the ferocious major general, and he himself was also

I got in a car and walked for more than two hours, arriving at this strange place.

He looked up at Tang Qiuli. There were four gold stars on the epaulettes. Oh my God, a second-level general of the army. Such a young official cannot be looked up to. However, he was more afraid of the major general next to him. He had a figure like an iron tower and was black.

On his rough face, his eyes were filled with coldness, staring at him maliciously. What was he holding in his hand? My dear, it was a heavy machine gun!

Long Rubai's legs trembled involuntarily, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He reluctantly saluted a military salute, and asked with a trembling voice: "I wonder who the commander is...?" "Tang Qiuli"

, the admiral replied calmly.

Long Rubai suddenly collapsed on the ground. Vice Chairman Tang, the second most powerful person in the government, a more powerful person than Chairman Chiang, the shadow of a famous human tree, in front of the famous Vice Chairman Tang,

He didn't take any chances. Before he could recover from the shock, he was lifted up by two soldiers.

Long Rubai nodded his head and kept saying, "You deserve to die for your humble position. I didn't know it was Vice Chairman Tang who was so ignorant." Tang Qiuli waved his hand in disgust to stop his nonsense, and asked lightly: "I

You know, what happened on the Xiyun Peak position around one o'clock in the morning?"

When Long Rubai heard this, his eyes became lively and he turned around a few times, obviously making up his mind. Shan Hu grunted and pulled the bolt of the heavy machine gun. In a moment, Long Rubai

Bai's seven souls and six souls were about to leave his body. He finally understood that as long as there was a lie, this diamond-like major general would definitely pour a bunch of heavy machine gun bullets into his body without any hesitation.

After listening to Long Rubai's confession, the angry look on Tang Qiuli's face became more and more serious. Especially what Liu Zhi said made him even more furious. It can be confirmed that the remaining troops of the 15th Army came from Xiyun

In the direction of the peak, nearly 10,000 people broke out. Is there any Yamashita Fengwen among them?

There is also Liu Zhi, whose crime is even more unforgivable. He is the culprit who caused the battle to end like this. Just when Tang Qiuli had regarded Liu Zhi as a dead man, Liu Zhi in Duyun City was almost crazy with joy.

.

Zhang Tiren, head of the Security Regiment of the Eleventh Army Headquarters, brought back the bodies of Yamashita Fengwen and Gong Qi. The news immediately caused a sensation in the East Route Army Headquarters. Liu Zhi, who was already in bed, immediately got up, regardless of putting on his military uniform.

, using a speed that was incompatible with his chubby body, he hurriedly ran towards the headquarters.

Far away, I saw Zhang Tiren gesticulating and talking about his heroic deeds. Zhang Tiren was very eloquent and described the virtual battle scenes vividly, including how he commanded the troops and personally braved the intensive firepower of the Japanese army.

Under such complicated terrain conditions, Yamashita Fengfumi was finally killed.

This guy didn't say a word about the heinous crime he committed in the cave, and cunningly changed it to Yamashita Fengwen who was shot dead in the mountains and forests. He was afraid that someone with bad intentions would come to see what was going on and everything would be exposed.

Well, if Yamashita Fengwen suddenly pretends to be a corpse, he will definitely scold him for being full of farts and beat him until his teeth are all over the floor.

Liu Zhi coughed calmly, and Zhang Tiren immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the commander-in-chief, Zhang Tiren, head of the 11th Group Army's military security regiment, that in the battle to eliminate the Japanese army, he fortunately fulfilled his mission and killed the 15th Japanese Chief.

Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, commander of the army, and Lieutenant General Gong Qi, commander of the division, please give instructions from the commander-in-chief!"

Liu Zhi only glanced at him and confirmed the identity of Yamashita Fengwen, "Commander Zhang, okay, you have done a great job, go down and rest." Zhang Tiren walked away with his chest raised and his belly folded. His mission had been completed.

After coming down, it was his cousin's business. Liu Zhi did not delay for too long and hurried back to the office. He wanted to think hard about how to report the good news to Chongqing.

At this time, Tang Qiuli received another piece of news that made him feel devastated. Liu Hongzhang, commander of the First Brigade, reported that the missing soldiers were found in a cave. They had all died, except for one who was seriously injured.

The soldier, before he died, revealed a shocking news.
