Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1026: One battle determines Guangdong and Guangxi

Tang Qiuli commanded more than 400,000 troops to fight in the Beibu Gulf in southern Guangxi and the Leizhou Peninsula in Guangdong. In less than a week, more than 50,000 garrison troops left by Shouichi Temple in the two places were in the ** Division

Under the rapid attack of the troops, they were wiped out. The Japanese troops in Nanning were blocked from retreating by sea to Hainan Island and Taiwan. (_--)

Nanning became an isolated city surrounded. Tang Qiuli made such a big move, which was obviously beyond the expectations of the Japanese base camp. According to their assumptions, Tang Qiuli should not take action when the imperial army attacked the Central Army. This was

Counterintuitively, various intelligence shows that the relationship between Tang Qiuli, the second-ranking figure in the Nationalist Government, and Chiang Kai-shek, the number-one figure, is so bad that it has reached the level of incompatibility. However, the changes in the situation in Nanning are also

What's going on?

Faced with the questioning of many big bosses in the base camp, the China experts in the intelligence headquarters of the base camp chose to be collectively aphasic and shut their mouths. In fact, they could not understand the Chinese people, mainly because they could not understand the Chinese devil Tang Qiu.

Separation, seemingly overnight, all their knowledge and experience about China fell out of date.

The most troublesome and troublesome thing is undoubtedly the Commander-in-Chief of Japan's Southern China Expeditionary Force, General Terauchi Toshiichi. His main force, on the Loushanguan front line, fought an inextricable battle with Xue Yue's Central Army troops, and they were divided into four groups.

The troops of the division made a long-distance attack on northwest Guizhou in an attempt to achieve a surprise effect and capture Chongqing in one fell swoop.

He had already felt that time was running out, and the lingering shadow in his mind was that the army of the Japanese Army was moving south. Tang Qiuli finally met his opponent in southern Guangxi, and surrounded him with hundreds of thousands of people at once, and captured it with great ease.

As the supreme commander of the Japanese theater in the Leizhou Peninsula and Guinan area, he knew what this meant.

The more than 400,000 imperial troops who fought hard to conquer the Guangdong and Guangxi areas have been lost again. The hope of reinforcements from the mainland landing on the Leizhou Peninsula and Beibu Gulf is no longer possible. The 120,000 imperial troops in Nanning have been trapped in

What's more serious is that if the troops he led cannot break through the Loushanguan defense line of the China government army and cannot capture Chongqing, they will be blocked in northern Guizhou. In fact, they have fallen into the strategic position of Tang Qiuli and the China government army.

surrounded by.

Shouichi in the temple was horrified to find that after Tang Qiuli's troops swept across Guangnan and Leizhou Peninsula, the main force of his dispatched army had become a lone army of hundreds of thousands of people. If Tang Qiuli went north from Guangnan, he would have to encircle him

In front of Loushanguan, Yamashita Fengwen's Fifteenth Army was a warning to others. Looking around, Shouichi in the temple realized that he had unknowingly fallen into a huge net.

The nearest reinforcements are the two divisions operating on the borders of China, Vietnam, and Myanmar. But with such a small amount of troops, before they reach Chongqing, they will be consumed in the mountains and ridges, and will be destroyed by the local Chinese troops along the way.

After eating it in one bite and looking around, Terauchi Shouichi was really scared.

He sent an urgent telegram to the base camp, explaining the dangerous situation faced by the dispatched troops, "The general staff of the base camp has transferred to His Majesty the Emperor. In mid-July, since the Southern China dispatched troops entered China to fight, the initial battle went smoothly. Following the occupation of the Leizhou Peninsula,

, after Nanning, then occupied Guiyang, and when attacking Chongqing, the capital of China, they encountered stubborn resistance from the China government troops at Loushanguan."

"During this period, the 15th Army and Duyun, the main force of our dispatched army, were severely damaged by the ** division of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. The battle situation turned unfavorable. Now the Chinese government army's Loushanguan defense line cannot be attacked for a long time, and the troops are increasingly depleted.

, has become exhausted, and has divided its troops to the west to take northwest Guizhou. The result is yet to be known. Tang Qiuli's troops now launch offensives in Leizhou Peninsula and Beibu Gulf, blocking our sea lanes, and potentially attacking the main force of our dispatched troops from the north and south.

momentum."

"In view of this, I have a suggestion. I will send the main force of the army back to Nanning immediately. Once we do this, we can reopen the Beibu Gulf and Leizhou Peninsula sea lanes. Both of them can solve the dilemma of the besieged imperial army in Nanning. If we persist in the Chongqing campaign, not only will we be able to

The goal cannot be achieved, and the main force of the dispatched army is still in danger of being encircled in northern Guizhou. The army can no longer fight alone. Whether it is appropriate or not, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty will approve it."

Terauchi Shouichi saw the danger he faced and did not want to fight. Even the escape route was cut off, and supplies and ammunition could not be delivered. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops could be trapped to death in front of Loushanguan. However, Terauchi Shouichi

It's a bit wishful thinking. According to the extent of the Japanese army's penetration into northern Guizhou, it may be too late to reach Nanning without hindrance. It's more than a thousand kilometers of mountain roads, unless the Japanese have wings to fly back.

The key is, can Tang Qiuli give him more than ten days? Not to mention, Tang Qiuli really gave Temple Shouichi time to help Nanning. After he commanded Ma Chaoyang's regiment and surrounded Nanning, he did not issue any orders to the general.

After receiving the order to attack, Xue Yue guarded Loushanguan, and Chongqing was not in danger. Tang Qiusheng's regiment in western Hunan and northern Hubei, which was ready to rescue Chongqing at any time, was free to join the Nanning battlefield.

Tang Qiuli's attention was focused on the main force of the Japanese Southern Expedition Force, which was controlled by Juichi Terauchi. He could do as much business as he had with capital. He had more than 400,000 troops, which was enough to take down the bastard Juichi Terauchi.

,So, Tang Qiuli

Order Ma Chaoyang not to rush to attack Nanning. All the artillery, tanks, and rocket artillery units of the directly affiliated corps have been given to you, Commander Ma. First, use the superior firepower to destroy the Japanese Nanning outer positions, simmer them slowly, and keep the Temple Shouichi stewed.

Ripe.

Shouichi Templeuchi is worried, but we are not worried, "You have more than 200,000 troops in hand, as well as a full set of heavy equipment of the directly affiliated corps. Your appetite, Ma Chaoyang, is just for the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanning City? Your vision and courage are too small.

Come on," Tang Qiuli said to Ma Chaoyang, half jokingly and half seriously.

Ma Chaoyang thought about it carefully for a while, suddenly enlightened, and shouted excitedly: "Sir, could it be that you have taken a fancy to the more than 300,000 little devils who fought with Xue Yue at Loushanguan in northern Guizhou? This is a big piece of fat, and it's still...

Yes, Commander Tang’s regiment went south, just to prepare a feast for old Japs like Shouichi Temple? Oh my God, after this battle is over, there won’t be any soldiers left by the Japs in Guangdong and Guangxi. Well, it’s fun!”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Okay, Commander Ma finally figured out how to play a few moves. To put it bluntly, this is a typical encirclement and reinforcements. If Shouyi in the temple returns to Nanning, from northern Guizhou to southern Guizhou, more than a thousand

Kilometers of distance, you can choose

There were several ambush locations selected. The eight brigades directly under the corps on the western front of Duyun were busy at Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaimen. They could intercept the retreating Japanese troops at any time. Terauchi Shouichi wanted to go back, but he didn't.

So easy."

"If Juichi Terauchi insists on occupying Chongqing, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanning will be our food. Then, the main force will march north. In front of Loushan Pass, this is the burial place of Juichi Terauchi. We will not suffer any loss, and the Japanese

People are more anxious than us, so Nanning can just surround them first."

Ma Chaoyang rubbed his hands in excitement. His corps participated in a major battle that determined the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi. Several other veteran corps did not take advantage of such a good thing and allowed himself to catch up. He looked excited.

Ma Chaoyang, Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head, he understood the thoughts of the commander of the newly formed corps.

However, I have to remind him a few words, "Commander Ma, don't worry about being happy. Convene a military meeting to convey my intentions to the belligerent brigade commanders below you. Make it clear and avoid unnecessary trouble."

People who have been anxious all day came to me to ask for a challenge, and I received more than a dozen copies of the challenge letter alone!"

Ma Chaoyang left happily. Tang Qiuli turned around and asked Chang Feng: "Chief of Staff Chang, where has the Sulu Mobile Corps arrived?" Chang Feng answered accurately: "At 18 o'clock yesterday evening, it had arrived in Guangxi.

Guilin in the northeast is heading towards Liuzhou in front of us, and we expect to reach Liuzhou before ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Tang Qiuli nodded, very satisfied with the advancing speed of Brother Qiu Sheng's troops, and ordered Chang Feng to: "Okay, send a telegram to the Sulu Mobile Corps. After the regiment arrived in Liuzhou, they immediately divided into two groups and entered Yi.

Prefecture, Heshan line, this is

Two good places for an ambush. The Sulu Mobile Corps ambushed them on the way. Juichi Terauchi's troops that were able to reach Nanning were probably not much left. There were also directly subordinate regiments that were chasing after them. The Japanese army was in a situation where they could only end up being wiped out.

."

Temple Shouichi was like an ant on a hot pot, running around anxiously. His telegram to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor had been sent out for two days, but he had not yet received a reply. More than 300,000 troops were commanded by Xue Yue at Loushanguan.

The Central Army was facing a loss. Xue Yue was confident that after crippling one division, he added another division from the second-line troops assembled in the Jiangjin area.

After fighting, the Central Army troops were not in short supply. Temple Shoichi was desperate. He was dispatched with all his troops. All the troops were there; the front line of Loushanguan, the rear supply line of southern Guangxi and the Leizhou Peninsula were again blocked by Tang Qiuli's forces.

The ** division troops were cut off, not to mention the soldiers, even the ammunition and supplies were consumed somewhat, but less.

After surviving the initial ferocious attack by the Japanese army, Xue Yue had a firm foothold at Loushanguan. The more he thought about it, the more confident he became that the Japanese would definitely not be able to get through Loushanguan. Big bosses in the Nationalist Government and more than one million citizens of Chongqing

, with his eyes fixed on the Loushanguan defense line, Xue Yue knew in his heart that he could hand in a very satisfactory answer.

Until now, Xue Yue didn't want the Japanese army to retreat in spite of the difficulties. He had a new idea. If he could drag the temple's Shouichi and more than 300,000 Japanese troops to death in front of Loushanguan, this would be a great achievement.

Among the senior generals of the Communist Party of China, he was also the first general to eliminate more than 300,000 Japanese troops.

Xue Yue wanted to fight, but Temple Shouichi had no intention of fighting. His current situation was not only embarrassing, but also extremely dangerous. During the retreat to Nanning, if the hundreds of thousands of Chinese government troops on the front line of Loushanguan followed and pursued him, the imperial army would

It was not easy to escape even if he wanted to. Tang Qiuli defeated Guangdong and Guangdong in one battle, thus forcing Temple Shouichi to a dead end.
