Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,139 Fierce Battle with Wu Bin (Part 1)

Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the ** Division and commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, led the infantry, artillery, and tank troops. On the way to Wubin in a hurry, he received a message from the division commander about the blocking battle in the Baodwen mining area

, Tang Qiusheng took a look at the battle situation on the first day and understood the seriousness of the situation at that time. In just one battle, no unit of the ** Division had more than half of its casualties.

He knew better that in order to block the main force of the Japanese army, Chang Feng's troops and Yu Guanghan's troops, which were several times more powerful than his own, the price paid by them, judging from his experience, was only based on the existing strength of the ** Division in the Baodwen Mining Area.

The military strength can only hold back the Japanese army for one to two days, which means that tomorrow will be a test of life and death.

Even if they could block the main force of the Japanese army in the Baldwin Mining Area for one or two days, the troops commanded by Chang Feng would definitely be defeated at the cost of annihilation, including the four brigades commanded by Yu Guanghan, who would also suffer heavy casualties.

It was already past ten o'clock on the night of July 4th, and the battle in Degang was still in a stalemate. The soldiers of one and a half battalions of the directly affiliated regiments were surrounded and tried to break out several times without success. Tang Qiuli was anxious.

, even though we have tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and hundreds of tanks, we are still helpless in the face of this situation.

Fortunately, the communication link with the surrounded troops was never interrupted. The Chutian Special Operations Detachment, which had high hopes, was led by the detachment leader Colonel Chutian. Four detachments rushed to Degang at night. Tang Qiuli took the package.

The war situation in the Dewen mining area was reported to Brother Qiu Sheng. He knew that after seeing the report of the war situation, Brother Qiu Sheng understood what he was going to do.

The troops led by Tang Qiusheng include three infantry brigades directly under the corps, three infantry brigades of his own, as well as artillery and tank troops. According to the current marching speed, it will be the fastest to reach Wubin and the Baodwen mining area.

Tomorrow morning will be around five o'clock, and before that, no one can guarantee whether the Japanese army will launch the most ferocious attack on Changfeng's blocking line before reinforcements arrive.

Tang Qiusheng looked at the luminous watch, frowned, and said to the combat staff beside him: "Convey my order to gather all the vehicles of the army together and load at least two brigades of troops and equipment, as well as an artillery unit."

Brigade, three rocket launcher battalions, and a tank brigade formed a rapid force and arrived at the Baldwin mining area four hours ahead of the main force."

Later, Tang Qiusheng said to the guard battalion commander, "Send a company and follow me to set off immediately to the Baldwin Mining Area." The guard battalion commander hesitated for a while and said: "Commander, according to the instructions of Major General Huang Shanhu, the division's guard brigade commander,

The order, and the regulations for the protection of the ** Division Guard Force stipulate that commanders above the corps level are not allowed to arrive at the combat area before the troops. If it is really necessary, they must obtain approval from the division commander or Captain Huang."

Tang Qiu laughed angrily, isn't this stupid? The security regulations created by Shanhu were obviously aimed at Xiaoqiu. Several commanders of the corps, his cousin, loved taking risks and came down several times.

, which made everyone on tenterhooks, this security regulation was created by Shan Hu after discussing with Liu Tiehan.

Unexpectedly, today his guard battalion commander used it to tie himself up. Tang Qiusheng couldn't help but think of this word, but he couldn't say it clearly to the guard battalion commander, "In this way, battalion commander, because the battlefield situation is very urgent, I

We have to rush there, how about you apply on your side and I'll set off on my side without any delay?"

In this way, under the extremely reluctant gaze of the guard battalion commander, Tang Qiusheng led a guard company and rushed to the Baldwin Mining Area ahead of the large troops. When passing by Wubin, he vaguely heard the sound of gunfire coming from the front.

, I was very worried. Could it be that Ito launched an attack on Changfeng's blocking force overnight?

When he arrived at the Baldwin Mining Area, the sound of gunfire had subsided, and the acrid smell of gunpowder smoke filled the night sky. He felt relieved, as long as the Japanese army did not attack in advance, he hurried to Changfeng's headquarters.

When Chang Feng heard that the third person in the ** division had arrived at his headquarters immediately, he hurriedly greeted him. Tang Qiusheng was still calm and calm, but in Tang Qiusheng's eyes, Chang Feng looked very haggard and his eyes were cloudy.

He was bloodshot and looked particularly tired. For some reason, Tang Qiusheng's gentle gaze swept over him, and most of the anxiety and depression in Chang Feng's heart disappeared.

This is a completely different feeling from meeting his teacher Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiusheng gives people stability and calmness. Even the most impetuous people will not consciously restrain their temper in front of him. This year, Tang Qiusheng is only three years old.

Fourteen or five years old, among all the senior commanders of the ** division, he has the calmest personality.

Chang Feng took a few steps forward and said: "Deputy Commander, now that you are here, I am no longer under pressure, and I am not afraid of your jokes. I have been fighting for several years, and I have never been like this before. My heart is always hanging, and I am not afraid of your jokes."

"To support you." From this sentence, Tang Qiusheng heard a lot of connotations. He smiled and said: "The division commander knows that you are under a lot of pressure here. As soon as the Banmao battle ended, he received the order from the division commander to organize the Wubin battle.

The headquarters also brought a large number of troops."

After a slight pause, Tang Qiusheng said as if recalling: "Chang Feng, we have known each other for several years. You have been my chief of staff for more than a year, right? Even on the Songhu battlefield, it was so dangerous.

In this situation, I have never heard you say such a thing," Chang Feng couldn't help but be shocked, the past iron-blooded years came to mind.

Back then, when Chang Feng was the chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps, he led his troops to display the majesty of the Japanese Army, whether in the Wusongkou defense battle or the anti-landing battle in Hangzhou Bay. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died there.

One of his subordinates, Chang Feng, was promoted to major general by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in his twenties, which caused a great sensation in the military circles of the Nationalist Government at that time.

Thinking of this, Chang Feng thought to himself, "Was my starting point from the beginning wrong? I was ordered to stop the Japanese army, with the belief that I would die, but I didn't consider that even if I didn't have to die, I would win the battle. Maybe, it was

My mentality has changed a lot." Chang Feng suddenly stood at attention and saluted, "I report to the deputy division commander, Chang Feng will obey your command in everything!"

At that moment, Tang Qiusheng quietly listened to Chang Feng's detailed report about today's half-day battle. Shaoqing, Tang Qiusheng said: "Chang Feng, although you paid a large number of casualties in today's battle, you also gave a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

With heavy casualties, it is not easy to hold off more than 400,000 Japanese troops for a day with 30,000 people."

Chang Feng couldn't help but shook his head. Obviously, he couldn't let go of the heavy casualties suffered by the troops under his command. Tang Qiusheng did not say anything more on this issue and continued: "After the fierce battle during the day, Ito Yanzaburo must

It would be thought that our blocking force came with the belief that they would die to prevent him from continuing to march north to Degang, and tomorrow's attack will be even more fierce."

"Although I brought reinforcements, compared to the Japanese army, our military strength is still at a disadvantage. In this way, we changed the combat method. We abandoned the blocking line in the Baldwin mining area overnight and retreated to Wubin, with four directly affiliated corps.

Infantry brigades, seven infantry brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, built two blocking lines in Wubin to deepen the depth of defense."

"Yu Guanghan led two brigades of troops to continue flanking and harassing the Japanese army, and cooperated with the frontal interception of the battlefield. We used the Baodwen mining area to play an empty city strategy for Ito, and then, with the strength of four brigades,

, set up an ambush on the road from the Baldwin Mining Area to Wubin, and unexpectedly attacked the Japanese army. The ambush troops immediately withdrew to Wubin. This was also an ambush in the blocking war."

Chang Feng was stunned. He had never thought about giving up the Baodwen Mining Area. This was the only favorable terrain that he could rely on to Degang. Moreover, the distance to Wubin was only more than 20 kilometers, so short.

To set up an ambush at a distance, four brigades of troops have to be deployed. Concealment alone is a big problem. It is a strange idea. They say that division commanders love to take risks, and Deputy Division Commander Tang is not much different! Could it be that this is a common trait of the Tang brothers?

?

Thinking about it, I feel relieved. Deputy Commander Tang now has capital. The troops of the ** Division in northern Myanmar, except for the four brigades in the hands of Division Commander Tang Qiuli, the rest of the troops are concentrated in the hands of Tang Qiusheng.

Inside, there are 13 infantry brigades, as well as a large number of artillery and tank troops, more than 200,000 people, blocking it there is an iron wall.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the 8th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps and the 9th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps quietly evacuated the position in the Baldwin Mining Area. When they were about to evacuate, the soldiers were not empty-handed. They were everywhere in the position and on the main traffic roads,

A large number of landmines were laid, and even if the Japs' artillery fire detonated most of them, the rest would be enough to give the Japs a headache.

At about four o'clock in the morning the next day, the Japanese soldiers, who had been tortured by Yu Guanghan's troops and couldn't sleep well, yawned and gathered together limply, ready to start the attack. Both their momentum and spirit were higher than those on the first day.

It was a long time ago, and Ito himself had not had a good rest. I don’t know why, but when he woke up in the morning, the commander-in-chief was not in the right mood. He had a gloomy face, droopy eyelids, and couldn’t look at anything.

Pleasant to the eyes.

The orderly who served him was severely slapped several times. A senior staff officer, who was usually the popular figure in front of the General, also received a lot of scolding. In the headquarters, the second lieutenant confidential officer

Miss Tamako, who usually relies on her beauty and coquettishness, dares to act coquettishly and coquettishly in front of Commander-in-Chief Ito.

But today, Miss Tamako is as dignified as a saint, and dare not show off her grandeur. Normally, the collar of her military uniform is half open, and her breasts are slightly exposed. Her snow-white breasts arouse the surging blood of men. Today, the military uniform is buckled with discipline.

Be strict.

"It's a joke, it doesn't matter when, this old guy is not thinking right today, don't ask for trouble," Miss Yuzi thought to herself while pretending to adjust the radio station.

Finally, after the General finished this extremely dull breakfast, Chief of Staff Koizumi carefully asked for instructions, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the scheduled attack time has arrived," Ito glanced at Koizumi, wiped the corners of his mouth, and his voice was dry.

Said: "Let's start!"
