Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,043 The Japanese Seventh Army is over

Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Regiment of the ** Division, led a fast column and with lightning-fast movements, defeated the Japanese army attacking Kunming and rushed into the city, bringing hope to the Yunnan Army on the verge of collapse.

(Baidu search,)

Long Yun, the Commander-in-Chief of the Yunnan Army and Chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government, welcomed his savior with the highest courtesy. What Yu Guanghan said to Long Yun could not have been more obvious. Our *** division came with more than just this.

People and horses, the big army is still behind and will be here soon. This is only one of the steps.

At this point, all Long Yun's worries have vanished into nothing. He is as light as feathers all over his body, and his heart is so bright. Not to mention the large army of the ** division behind him, the reinforcements of more than 30,000 people have opened his eyes.

Now, Long Yun was on top of the provincial government building and witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of Yu Guanghan's sudden attack into the city to fight.

It was eye-opening and inexplicable. It is not enough to describe Long Yun's shock. These 30,000 people defeated more than 100,000 Japanese troops into a chaotic mess. It only took more than 40 minutes to tear apart the Japanese encirclement.

Through an opening, artillery and infantry all got in one after another, and at the end, there was a beautiful counterattack. Long Yun really had nothing to say except admiration.

"Come on, Chief of Staff Yu, we have traveled a long distance and worked hard all the way. Long has prepared a small amount of wine. On behalf of all the soldiers of the Yunnan Army, I would like to express my gratitude to Vice Chairman Tang!" Long Yun gave in enthusiastically. He actually set up a layout in the headquarters

A table of wine and food, no matter what, Yu Guanghan could afford this glass of wine, Kunming was saved, and the Yunnan Army did not have to go to the bitter cold land in northwest Yunnan to endure miserable days.

The most important thing is that the Yunnan Army did its best in Kunming. With Tang Qiuli's conduct and consistent style, he definitely did not have the ugly appearance of Chiang Kai-shek. Long Yun is still the well-deserved King of Yunnan. Maybe he can use this opportunity to win

It is not impossible to increase the strength of the Yunnan Army. In this world, there are not many opportunities if you have a good backer.

Yu Guanghan was a little surprised. There were fireworks all over the city inside and outside Kunming, but Chairman Long still had time to set up a banquet. Yu Guanghan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time. His stomach was filled with discomfort. Besides,

When you have time to drink, the main force of the corps will launch an attack.

Just as he was about to politely refuse, a jeep carrying an inch of land came quickly. A young staff captain jumped out of the car and said, "Report to the chief of staff, there is a call from the regiment headquarters. All units have arrived at the designated location. Commander, please

The chief of staff reported the situation of the Japanese troops and determined the main attack direction of the troops."

It was really timely. Yu Guanghan apologized and said to Long Yun: "Chairman Long, the battle is about to begin. Please forgive Guanghan for not being able to accompany me." Long Yun is also a good person, how could he not see it?

He figured out the key, laughed heartily, and said: "Okay, Chief of Staff, annihilating the Japanese invaders is the most important thing at the moment. I will save this drink for the victory! I wish Chief of Staff Yu a complete success."

win."

Yu Guanghan was about to leave when he was detained by Long Yun. Long Yun turned around and ordered the secretary of the division headquarters, "Convey my order. All units of the Yunnan Army will be under the unified command of the chief of staff. Anyone who does not obey the order will be followed."

I, Long Yun, can't get through." After saying that, he waved his hand to stop what Yu Guanghan was about to say.

Long Yun is not a fool. He joins the Kunming battlefield with the ** division troops. He will definitely not be able to escape the victory. If the Yunnan Army units do not take this opportunity to show off, they will be disgraced. The most important thing is that the Japanese

Guns and artillery are a good thing, several times more powerful than the current equipment of the Yunnan Army.

Following the ** division troops, you don’t have to pay a high price. Just by capturing the battlefield, you can replace the Yunnan army with Japanese-style equipment. It is much more comfortable than shamelessly asking Tang Qiuli for help after the battle, that is,

You have expressed your attitude and received benefits, so why not do it?

Yu Guanghan didn't have time to think about Long Yun's thoughts, and he didn't know. In an instant, Long Yun's head turned countless times. Yu Guanghan was very dissatisfied with Long Yun asking him to command all the Yunnan troops. That's it.

Not only were the troops unable to help, but they were also in the way, but Long Yun was very sincere, and if he resisted, it would inevitably hurt his harmony.

After thinking about it, Yu Guanghan said: "Chairman Long, the Yunnan Army can participate in the battle as the second echelon after the main force of our Corps launches an attack on the Japanese army. The main task is to clean the battlefield and eliminate the remaining enemies. What do you think?"

Long Yun wished he could hug Yu Guanghan and kiss him a few times. He was so agreeable to me. This chief of staff is such a wonderful man. "Why don't you immediately execute Yu Guanghan's order and command your troops to go into battle!" Long Yun said.

Yun calmly ordered the generals.

"Yes, execute the order of the Chief of Staff immediately," the voices of the generals of the Yunnan Army were frighteningly loud. Their spirits and morale were definitely at their highest level. After following Chairman Long for more than ten years, they still didn't understand what the boss meant.

That is really a lump of wood, cleaning the battlefield, absolutely fat. Just the weapons and equipment of the Japanese can make a lot of trouble and make a fortune.

The Sulu Mobile Regiment's rapid column entered the city of Kunming and became a thorn in Iijima Kenji's side. This powerful, well-equipped, and fast-moving ** division force would be difficult to continue attacking Kunming unless it was eliminated.

It is also impossible to predict in which direction he will appear, posing a huge threat to the attacking troops.

Therefore, in order to carry out Juichi Terauchi's order to resolutely occupy Kunming, Iijima Kenji concentrated the troops from several directions in the northeast of the outskirts of Kunming. The artillery had already established a position, and a regiment of tanks was ready to go. He and several

After studying it, the division commander decided to change his style of play.

Concentrating all the troops, attacking one point, and destroying the small reinforcements of the ** Division is only one of the purposes. It can also take advantage of the situation to invade Kunming City and divide the defense line of the Chinese local army. Kenji Iijima proudly called this tactic

In order to penetrate the tactics, the tank regiment is the arrow of the attack, supplemented by the dense coverage of artillery fire. Kunming is like a ripe peach that will fall off as soon as it is touched.

Unfortunately, Commander Iijima set the time for the attack at ten o'clock in the morning, which coincided with the time when Tang Qiusheng's regiment launched a general attack on it. If Kenji Iijima knew that, an entire regiment of the ** division would be attacked.

, more than 2,000 cannons, more than 1,000 tanks, ten rocket launcher battalions, and hundreds of thousands of well-equipped soldiers are staring at him eagerly, ready to pounce at any time. Will he faint immediately?

Two hours later, a similarly well-equipped ** division force came over from the due north. The Seventh Army inevitably became the stuffing of the dumplings. Lieutenant General Iijima and his chisel were so leisurely that they showed off.

Wearing tactics, you probably feel suicidal, right?

Wrong judgment led to disastrous consequences. Both Juichi Terauchi and Kenji Iijima misjudged the advancing speed of the ** division troops, and Tang Qiuli's rapid response. At ten o'clock in the morning, Kenji Iijima

The two calmly ordered the chief of staff: "Start the attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang like thunder spread in the northeast of Kunming, shaking the ground. Just hearing the sound, it was no less than thousands of artillery firing in salvos. Kenji Iijima was stunned, "Hani? Imperial Army soldier

The speed can't be so fast, right? The order has just been issued and they started firing?" Looking back, the chief of staff was holding the phone with a look of astonishment on his face. His order had not yet been conveyed to the troops.

A Lieutenant Colonel officer rushed into the headquarters and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, a large number of Chinese troops appeared behind our army. The shelling just now was caused by them. The rearguard division reported that it was the main force of the Chinese army." Iijima was shocked.

Jump, before my head could react, it was like a ghost, and the Chinese troops appeared again.

As if to confirm his astonishment, the phone rang loudly. The chief of staff picked up the phone. After listening to a few words, his face turned pale. Kenji Iijima's scalp tightened, "Your Excellency, Commander, Guard Twenty.

The Ninth Division reported that they were violently attacked by the Chinese army and suffered heavy casualties. The division commander Kobayashi Shiichiro was seriously injured. According to judgment, the enemy army numbered at least 100,000 people. The battle had spread to the 17th Division that followed.

regiment and the 11th Division.”

The words of the chief of staff were like bursts of thunder, which made Kenji Iijima's eyes flash with stars. Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops appeared behind him. What was the concept? Coupled with the *** division troops in Kunming City, he was surrounded

?Everything is like in a dream, just a nightmare.

"Commander, Commander!" the chief of staff shouted to the petrified Iijima one after another. Kenji Iijima groaned in pain, as if his seven souls and six souls had just returned to the body, "Quick, order the troops,

Immediately stop the attack on Kunming, retreat to the direction of Chengjiang, and report this situation immediately to Commander-in-Chief Shouichi in the temple."

Iijima Kenji was finally not at a loss. He remembered that in the northeast of Kunming, in the Chengjiang area, there was a terrain that was conducive to defense. The mountain peaks there were not too high in altitude, but the terrain was very complicated. But it was better than being beaten here and sticking to Chengjiang.

, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the dispatched army, this is the only way to avoid the fate of the entire Seventh Army being annihilated.

Or, continue to retreat south to the borders of China, Vietnam, and Myanmar to join forces there. Anyway, insisting on Kunming now is asking for death. "Order the 17th Division and the 11th Division to cover the retreat of the main force.

"Iijima Kenji then issued another order. The damn China Devil, his troops suddenly appeared like ghosts. The battle situation reached an extreme passive level. The Seventh Army headquarters immediately became as busy as a boiling pot.

When Yu Guanghan saw the Japanese tank turning around, he ran back. Knowing that the main force of the regiment had launched an attack, the Japanese army was about to retreat, so he immediately reported the situation to Tang Qiusheng, "Commander, the little devil is running, and the direction is toward Chengjiang.

I request a quick column to pursue immediately," Yu Guanghan's eyes were shining, and his heart was itching unbearably.

Relying on the astonishing marching speed of the fast column, he was sure to bite off a large piece of fat from the retreating Japanese army. Tang Qiusheng's tone was still so steady, "Guanghan, the fast column will march immediately and rush to Jinning."

The first line was to block the Japanese army's southward retreat and surround them in Chengjiang."
