Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1049: Forced to leave Savage Mountain

Because Li Honggang's 29th Corps inflicted heavy losses on Shouichi Temple in the Battle of Songshaoguan, which changed the battlefield situation and provided an opportunity for Tang Qiuli to seek greater campaign effects.

The original purpose of the Kunming Battle was to firstly annihilate the Japanese troops attacking Kunming and contact the Kunming threat, and secondly, to seek opportunities to attack the main force of the Japanese Southern China Expeditionary Force. Therefore, Tang Qiuli used two main force groups to attack the seventh Japanese army.

Military Iijima Kenji Division.

This is also what Tang Qiuli has always advocated, the tactic of concentrating superior troops and firepower to annihilate one part of the enemy. Before the battle of Songshaoguan started, no main force of the *** division in Yunnan could be responsible for encirclement and annihilation alone. The Japanese army

The campaign mission of the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Force.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli's initial battle plan was to quickly annihilate the Japanese Seventh Army with the strength of two main corps. Then, with his hands free, the entire army marched north to Songshaoguan to join Li Honggang's 29th Corps, and with three

The troops of this corps faced the main force of Juichi Terauchi's Southern Expeditionary Force.

Regardless of whether they were repulsed or defeated, they were looking for fighters in the future to leave more than 200,000 Japanese troops, together with the head of Juichi Temple, on the land of South China. Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli's most powerful Songshaoguan blocked the battlefield, and Li Honggang

Killing more than 40,000 Japanese troops in one night gave him a great gift.

Li Honggang blocked and severely damaged more than 200,000 Japanese troops with more than 70,000 troops. The temple was so frightened that Shouichi retreated 20 kilometers in panic. The threat from northeastern Yunnan was basically eliminated. The battle situation presented an extremely favorable opportunity. Of course Tang Qiuli would not

Let it go.

The Japanese Seventh Army, surrounded by groups in Chengjiang, has become a turtle in the urn. With the strength and firepower of the directly affiliated corps, it can shoulder the task of annihilating the Japanese army on its own. There is always someone who can make the icing on the cake. Just now, Long Yun led the four armies.

More than 80,000 Yunnan troops rushed to the Chengjiang battlefield.

Long Yun's attitude was very resolute. He had to let the Yunnan Army participate in the Japanese attack in Chengjiang no matter what. The reason was also very good. These Japanese soldiers committed heinous crimes in Kunming. As Yunnan soldiers, they could not take revenge with their own hands, nor could the Yunnan elders.

Long Yun himself would not forgive himself, so how could he stand in Yunnan Province?

He spoke impassionedly and sincerely, and the morale of the Yunnan army was also strong, and they could definitely fight. However, no matter how you looked at it, they were suspected of taking advantage and beating up the lost dog. Tang Qiuli knew that Long Yun's Xiao Jiujiu was responsible for killing tens of thousands of Japanese troops.

That's a lot of fat. I'm afraid Long Yun already knew about his transactions with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi.&*The fastest update of "Net"**

Since it is following the example of Guangxi, this matter cannot be wrong. This is the real reason why Long Yun rushed here in such a hurry. Tang Qiuli is not prepared to say anything about Long Yun's icing on the cake, and he understands Long Yun's difficulties. Look at Dian Dian.

Weapons and equipment of the army, many soldiers still carry old sleeves with almost worn rifling.

The Directly Affiliated Corps, plus the four armies of the Yunnan Army, has more than 200,000 troops. It is more certain to annihilate the surrounded Japanese Seventh Army. If the equipment of the Yunnan Army was not so poor, Tang Qiuli even wanted to eliminate Ken Iijima.

The tasks of the Second Division were handed over to Long Yun alone. In this way, the two main corps were outflanking him from both sides, and Shouichi Terauchi had no way to escape even if he wanted to.

Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in his mind. The direct-affiliated corps went north, leaving the Yunnan Army to fight against the Japanese Seventh Army. Not to mention whether it could complete the campaign mission, I am afraid that the Yunnan Army would be exhausted. Kenji Iijima

They also ran away. The current Yunnan Army is not at all a heavyweight with the Japanese Army.

Tang Qiuli solemnly said to Long Yun: "Chairman Long, Tang understands the Yunnan Army's idea of ​​revenge, and also admires the Yunnan Army's spirit of daring to face the enemy. In this way, the Chengjiang battle deployment will be adjusted as follows, and the corps directly under the ** Division will complete the battle.

After the mission, immediately go north and clear out the remaining Japanese troops, leaving it to Chairman Long’s troops to complete. What does Chairman Long think?”

Long Yun almost burst into joy. It was a great thing that fell from the sky. The equipment directly under the corps was something Long Yun could not even imagine. It was so easy to crack the turtle shell of Kenji Iijima in Chengjiang with a thunderous strike.

After that, there were still a few Japanese soldiers left, and all the Japanese-style equipment left on the battlefield belonged to the Yunnan Army! God, gold ingots fell from the sky!

Long Yun nodded like a fool, fearing that the wealthy vice-chairman in front of him would regret it. The dozen or so senior generals of the Yunnan Army following him also had their eyes shining brightly, gearing up, looking like they were about to make a fortune. Tang Qiuli

Smiling secretly, he continued: "However, there is one request. In order to facilitate coordinated command and reduce troop losses, all troops participating in the Chengjiang Battle should be unified under the command of my chief of staff, Major General Chang Feng."

This is the meaning of the question. Originally, the Yunnan Army was just here to pick up the slack and hitchhike. It doesn't make sense if they don't obey the command. Long Yun was not afraid that Tang Qiuli would use the Yunnan Army as cannon fodder, leaving so much equipment unused.

, what is Tang Qiuli planning? Looking at this posture, he has other plans. He is afraid that he is targeting Songshaoguan and does not want to spend too long in Chengjiang, so he is even more relieved.

On September 15, Tang Qiuli issued an order to the Sulu Mobile Corps to conduct the Battle of Songshaoguan. Under the cover of night, nearly 200,000 troops quietly evacuated the Chengjiang battlefield, passing through Biji and Song on the left.

Yang, Xundian, toward the left wing of Songshaoguan, drive in covertly.

The right road passes through Luoping, Shizong, and Panjiang, and moves towards the right wing of Songshaoguan covertly. Soon after the Sulu Mobile Corps took action, the Yunnan Army took over the defense and entered the position. Iijima Kenji in the Chengjiang encirclement was facing the huge enemy at night.

He was not aware of the changes at all, and was still eagerly waiting for his commander-in-chief to command the imperial army south to Kunming to save himself from danger.

Not long after Tang Qiusheng's regiment set out, Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Li Honggang, "Commander Li Honggang of the 29th Corps, in the battle of Songshaoguan, the main force of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and the battle situation turned out to be extremely favorable. Your unit's current main task is

, with the sole purpose of blocking and delaying the Japanese army, you can show weakness appropriately so that Touichi Terauchi will not give up and eliminate it. The Sulu Mobile Corps has already concealed the two wings of the Japanese army and detoured. Your unit's actions are related to the overall situation of the Songshaoguan battle. Please handle it carefully.

"

After Li Honggang received the telegram, he excitedly slapped the ammunition box that served as a table and said, "Okay, the division commander has made a new battle plan. It turns out that our corps was a supporting role. After the smooth progress of the Kunming battle, it has now become the protagonist. This is a rare opportunity.

Good opportunity, Bingde, take a look at this telegram and try to figure out what it smells like?"

Wang Bingde, the chief of staff of the Corps, received the telegram, read it carefully, and said: "Commander, the division commander is going to take the Japanese troops on the opposite side in one pot. The Sulu Mobile Corps is coming here, and I am afraid that they want to make dumplings made by Shouichi in the temple. Such a situation

Come on, we can’t beat the Japanese troops too hard yet, it’s been two days, and there’s been no movement from the little Japs on the other side. Did you notice something?”

Wang Bingde's words made Li Honggang, who was immersed in excitement, feel nervous. Hundreds of tanks were waiting in formation, just waiting for the Japs to attack. It was a quick counterattack, but the soldiers waited for two days.

It turned out that the Japanese soldiers, who were still in a hurry to reincarnate, made no movement at all and were as quiet as rabbits.

"Did he beat the little devil too hard on the first day?" Li Honggang said to himself. Wang Bingde nodded and agreed with Li Honggang's statement, "It is possible. After all, more than 40,000 people were killed or injured overnight.

, almost wiped out three divisions, how could Terauchi Shouichi not feel distressed, maybe this old devil is thinking of some crooked tricks?"

After listening to Wang Bingde's words, Li Honggang calmed down. The task of the division commander was not as simple as imagined. It was very easy to stop the Japanese army. Artillery fire alone could blow up the road leading to Kunming into a wall of fire, which could delay the Japanese army.

It was more difficult to deal with. Once the covert movements of the Sulu Mobile Corps were noticed by Shouichi Terauchi, he would quickly escape. This old devil was not simple, and he took action and gave himself a small disadvantage.

The strength of the 29th Corps is not enough to surround the Japanese army. It seems that if the Japanese army does not move, I will move. I will entangle the Japanese army with uninterrupted small-scale battles and attract the attention of Juichi Terauchi to the Songshaoguan battlefield.

After coming up, Li Honggang had a plan in an instant, "Bingde, please go down immediately and convene a military meeting. Officers above the chief of staff of each brigade will participate."

Tang Qiuli fixed his eyes on Temple Shouyi. At this time, the commander-in-chief of Temple Shouyi was more troubled than anyone else. The battle on a rainy night was indeed painful. As soon as they fought, more than one division joined him.

In terms of military strength, the Southern Expeditionary Army, which had no supplies of soldiers, could not afford such consumption.

Therefore, even though Terauchi Shouichi was anxious, he still suppressed his inner impulse and stood still. He was looking for an opportunity to avoid Songshaoguan and take a detour to Kunming. At the pass on the opposite side, Terauchi Shouichi did not dare to use the remaining troops to fight head-on.

, on a rainy night, the shells flying all over the sky left a deep impression on him.

The reconnaissance troops sent out did find several roads that bypassed Songshaoguan. However, Shouichi in the temple was so angry that he had to travel two weeks longer. Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief, went around and around on the mountain road in northeastern Yunnan.

At that time, I am afraid that the troops of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli were already waiting in front?

Terauchi Shouichi was like an old wolf that fell into a trap, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth, but he received a telegram from the base camp. The telegram did not bring him a good mood, "Local reinforcements have arrived in Southeast Asia and are preparing to land in Yangon, Myanmar."

, your troops quickly go south to participate in the Southeast Asian campaign."

Touichi Templeuchi sighed, the Seventh Army was completely gone, Iijima-kun, please wish yourself good luck! On the night of September 16th, the raiding force sent by Li Honggang found that the Japanese camp was empty.

After receiving the report, Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth bitterly and said to Chief of Staff Yang Ketian: "Give the Li Honggang Corps an order to follow and pursue, and give the Ma Chaoyang Corps an order to blockade the China-Vietnam-Myanmar border and the northwest Yunnan high road.

Leave a gap in the direction of Li Gong Mountain and force the Japanese army to go to Savage Mountain!" The voice was filled with coldness, and Yang Ketian felt a chill when he heard it.
