Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1048: There are no Japanese invaders in the southern country

In the fighting in the heavy rain, the Japanese army suffered a big loss. They were attacked first and were caught off guard. They lost nearly a regiment. Terauichi Juichi used a clever trick to backhand Li Honggang, killing more than 3,000 of the 29th Corps.

Li Honggang responded by blocking the first round of casualties and using pure infantry firepower to repel the attack of a Japanese division.

Then, the front-line troops retreated, allowing the Japanese army to occupy the first-line position with two divisions without encountering any resistance. After that, overwhelming artillery fire not only covered the first position, but also included large-caliber heavy artillery and intensive shelling.

The Japanese troops penetrated deep and blew up the Japanese 58th Division assembled on the second line.

If the guard chief of Juichi Terauchi hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I'm afraid that the commander-in-chief would have become one of the corpses everywhere. Counting all three divisions that Juichi Terauchi put into battle, two divisions were almost completely wiped out.

In the end, the number of soldiers who escaped from the Songshaoguan position was only more than 4,000, and the 58th Division suffered more than one-tenth casualties.

Afraid of being beaten, the first order Shouichi Terauchi understood was to strictly order all troops to immediately retreat twenty kilometers and get out of the range of the Chinese army's artillery fire. As for breaking through the Songshaoguan position, is it still possible? Once they reach a safe place, they can go to another place.

Think of other ways.

Terauchi Shouichi was not a fool. He saw last night, in the rain and fog, the power of the new artillery that the imperial soldiers called "devil's punishment". The overwhelming dazzling and terrifying bolide instantly covered the positions occupied by the imperial army.

, faced with such dense and ferocious artillery fire, how many soldiers are enough to fill it in?

I'm afraid that even if the more than 200,000 troops go up, there won't be enough for the artillery to fire a single salvo. Why should we still wait on the spot and accept the second or even more artillery attacks? Now, we can be absolutely sure that the other side will block us and give the emperor a chance to attack us.

It was the main force of the ** Division that caused heavy casualties to the army, not the China local government troops or the small units of the ** Division as previously judged. Terauchi Juichi paid a heavy price for his wrong judgment.

A few hours after the bombardment, the troops of the 29th Corps retreated to the second line of defense and returned to the front line. Looking at the tragic situation on the position, these battle-hardened soldiers and officers could not help but be stunned, let alone exposed.

There was no trace of the Japanese soldiers on the surface of the position, and even the shell-proof holes and concealed areas were in ruins.

Jing Zhanqi took a breath of air and picked up the phone, "Hey, old man, this is too violent, isn't it? Tens of thousands of little devils were burned to ashes, and even the brigade headquarters that I dug three meters underground is not a good idea.

It has become a big trap, and the commander's hand is very cruel." The person he wanted to get through was Zhu Xianfeng, commander of the Second Brigade. The two were both good friends and yet unconvinced competitors.

Zhu Xianfeng said in a sullen voice: "Everyone thinks that you, Madman Jing, are fearless and daring. Do you have something to be afraid of? Jing Zhanqi was unhappy, "Old Zhu, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. Just the battle last night.

, if you put it on your second brigade, you probably won’t be able to hold it for twenty minutes?”

Just when Li Honggang's two generals were quarreling, the commander of the Corps, Li Honggang, had already transferred the tank troops to the second-line position. The shelling last night also gave him a great shock. He witnessed the volcanic eruption-like shelling scene with his own eyes. For those who can

The last concern about whether to stop the Japanese army with superior strength was dispelled.

With eight battalions of Thunder rocket launchers in hand, Li Honggang was confident. He was very confident that the Japanese army would attack like yesterday. There was also a brigade of tank troops that did not take action. With one counterattack, Li Honggang was confident that he could push the Japanese army back to Yanfang.

, after reporting the battle situation last night to the division command, he was in the headquarters, waiting quietly for the Japanese army to launch an attack.

After receiving Li Honggang's battle report, Tang Qiuli, who was in Qujing, put down the telegram gently with a smile in his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and took out his teacher's finger. The bright sun shone on him, making him feel comfortable all over.

Tang Qiuli was quite satisfied with the results achieved by Li Honggang. With more than 70,000 troops, he fought fiercely with more than 200,000 Japanese troops in one night, annihilated more than 40,000 enemies, and pushed back the temple Shouichi for more than 20 kilometers. Now, not

The question of whether Songshaoguan can be defended is a question of how much Japanese troops will be consumed at Songshaoguan and how many days the temple will be held back.

Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Division, came to his side with light feet, "Commander, Long Yun, Chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government, has called to invite you to Kunming. He and the Yunnan Provincial Party, Government and Military officials are waiting for your arrival in Kunming, saying

We have something important to discuss, do you think?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Long Yun wants to show his attitude and actively get closer. Of course, he will make some requests. The benefits are inevitable. Since he knows the current affairs, he has to give him this face. Call me back and I will immediately

Rush to Kunming."

In order to welcome Tang Qiuli's arrival, Long Yun put in a lot of effort. The Yunnan Army and all the citizens in Kunming came out early in the morning to clean up the streets and buildings damaged by the war in the past few days.

, in this battle, the Japanese army did not invade the urban area, and the city was not seriously damaged. In addition, Kunming is a beautiful city to begin with. After such a cleanup, the whole city glowed with extra spirit.

Tang Qiuli's motorcade entered the city of Kunming and received a grand welcome. Prominent figures from all walks of life in the Yunnan Provincial Party, Government and Military, including some of the officials who had been evacuated before, also returned to Kunming. Thousands of people gathered in front of the Yunnan Provincial Government Building.

The welcoming team of people looked northward eagerly.

From Long Yun's heart, no matter what kind of scene, Tang Qiuli could not be welcomed too much. As soon as he took action, he solved the danger of the destruction of Kunming City, weakened the blood of the Yunnan Army, and defeated the aggressive Japanese of the Yunnan Army.

In front of the ** division troops, they did not even dare to fight. They fled south in panic and were surrounded by groups in Chengjiang.

News came last night that more than 200,000 Japanese troops were severely damaged by the Japanese Army at Songshaoguan, and marched south to Kunming. It became an empty talk. From now on, Kunming will be safe! With Tang Qiuli's strong strength, he can keep his word.

Is there any benefit from talking to people who are talking to each other? Tang Qiuli was a hundred times better than Jiang.

The welcome of thousands of people was all a matter of spectacle. When we arrived in the Longyun reception room of the provincial capital, the key issues were discussed. Only about thirty local officials from Yunnan who were high enough to participate in this secret meeting only got off the bus.

, Tang Qiuli's ears were filled with all kinds of words of praise.

Not to mention, this feeling of being complimented and flattered by everyone is really good. No wonder everyone likes to hear good words. Tang Qiuli is not an immortal, so he is no exception. Hearing this made all the pores and eyes of his body open, and his face was full of smiles.

He was so intoxicated that if Mei Xue hadn't pulled him quietly, Vice Chairman Tang would have been almost intoxicated!

However, whether it was because she was really intoxicated or because she was trying to appease the local bosses in Yunnan, even Mei Xue couldn't figure it out.

Seeing this situation in the eyes of Long Yun and the local bosses in Yunnan, they had a new understanding of the beautiful woman next to Tang Qiuli. Having said all the polite words, compliments, and flattery, it was time to get to the point.

Long Yun coughed and said

He said: "Vice Chairman Tang's visit to Yunnan Province saved Kunming and the Yunnan Army from danger. I won't say much more about my thanks. What Long Yun and all walks of life in Yunnan Province are most concerned about is the future status of Yunnan? Still

I hope Vice Chairman Tang will make it clear!"

This question was asked with skill and level. With the current strength of the Japanese Army in Yunnan, the hundreds of thousands of Yunnan troops are not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth. The actual situation is that Yunnan was in the hands of Tang Qiuli.

Preservation, otherwise, Long Yun will be on the run now, staying in the bitter cold land of northwest Yunnan, enduring a miserable life.

The most important thing about Long Yun is that Tang Qiuli relies on his strength to turn against his customers, or to try to evade himself in disguise. Although he believes in Tang Qiuli's character, the treasure is touching people's hearts, let alone the territory that everyone covets? Even Tang Qiuli

His eating appearance was not as ugly as Mr. Jiang's, so Long Yun had to ask for accurate words to feel confident.

Tang Qiuli just replied, "According to the Guangxi example," and it was the final word. Everyone was happy. Long Yun seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and his whole body was as light as feathers. The Guangxi example was exactly the result of Long Yun's elimination.

Under the protection of Tang Qiuli, he continued to develop. With the ** division troops in Yunnan Province, neither the Japanese nor Chiang Kai-shek could have any idea of ​​attacking me, Long.

He declined the enthusiastic and sincere attempts by Long Yun and representatives from all walks of life in Yunnan to stay, and drove to Chengjiang. Just before rushing to Kunming, Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Tang Qiusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Chengjiang front line, asking to encircle the Japanese Seventh Army.

The troops will not launch a general attack on Chengjiang for the time being, and will make decisions only after they arrive.

On the way to Chengjiang, a larger plan had been basically formed, and the Japanese Seventh Army in Chengjiang was a key link.

When they arrived at Tang Qiusheng's headquarters, Tang Qiuli didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point, "Brother Qiusheng, is it feasible to wipe out all the Japanese troops in Yunnan?" Tang Qiusheng was stunned. There were still 60,000 Japanese troops in Chengjiang who had not been eliminated, so they started fighting in the temple again.

Shouyi's idea, this younger brother of mine has a really big appetite.

With Tang Qiusheng's character, he would never blurt out approval or disapproval without thinking. He thought quietly in front of the map. Tang Qiuli just waited quietly. Ten minutes later, Tang Qiusheng said calmly: "Absolutely.

feasible."

Tang Qiuli was relieved. His plan was to build the Sulu Mobile Corps, withdraw from Chengjiang, turn around and go north, covertly surround the main force of Shouichi in the temple from both sides of Songshaoguan, and fight the largest and last annihilation battle in the south. This

He put forward very high demands on Tang Qiusheng's regiment, so he would seek Brother Qiusheng's opinion.

The Japanese Seventh Army in Chengjiang was surrounded but not attacked, leaving Touichi Terauchi with nothing to do. He could not bear to let go and find another way out. The 29th Corps held back the main force of the Japanese dispatched troops at Songshaoguan, and the directly affiliated corps continued to encircle the Japanese Seventh Army.

The army formed two battlefields in the north and south.

The key to this plan is whether the Tang Qiusheng Corps can complete the battle deployment without alarming Shouichi Temple, and the directly affiliated Corps can strengthen the Yunnan Army troops and annihilate the Japanese Seventh Army. There is no problem. In Tang Qiuli's words, Chengjiang

After the battle of Hesongshaoguan, there will be no trace of Japanese troops in the south.
