Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 263 The Battle of Xiaowutai Mountain (9)

In the encirclement of the ** division, Badalhu and more than 20,000 bandits made two desperate breakout operations, but never made a new attempt. The ruthless artillery fire tore their efforts to pieces, except for the remaining survivors.

There were corpses on the ground and nothing was found.

By noon, these people who were surrounded had no fighting spirit and were waiting for the fate of being slaughtered. The Japanese army, which had been so arrogant and arrogant before, was completely desperate.

However, what surprised them was why the troops of the Army did not launch an attack even though an encirclement had been formed. Badalhu vaguely felt that it was not just as simple as encircling and annihilating them.

It may be that Tang Qiuli considered that the Japanese Imperial Army was in the encirclement and did not dare to take casual actions. At the same time, he had taboos for fear of incurring retaliation from the Imperial Army, or their government did not allow such behavior.

The first person to take action was Shanxi Wang Yan Xishan. Through Song Zheyuan, he forwarded a telegram to Tang Qiuli. The content was as follows: "Brother Qiu Li, Master Tang, warmly congratulates the North China Army on their victory in this campaign."

The bandits were victorious, and the bandit troubles in North China have always been severe.

Heavy, especially in the Taihang Mountains. I am delighted to hear that my brother has accomplished this wonderful feat. He should be regarded as a young talent. The Taihang Mountains span the two provinces of Shanxi and Hebei, and stubborn bandits roam between the provincial boundaries. It is actually one of the most difficult tasks to suppress bandits. Today

When my brother arrived in North China, he had such a record, which is admirable."

Tang Qiuli had already heard about this shrewd king of Shanxi, and he sent a telegram all the way to him. Could it be that he was just to congratulate and say some polite words, otherwise he would not be the famous Yan Xishan in history.

Sure enough, the drama is behind. The man said in the telegram that Shanxi was also suffering from banditry. As a local governor of Shanxi, he organized a large-scale crackdown. It was just because the bandits were cunning that they fought in Shanxi and then went to Hebei.

It is inconvenient for him to cross the border to suppress the enemy, so he can do nothing.

At this point, the conversation changed and he said that the surrounded bandits were quite a few bandits from Shanxi, that is, bandits from Shanxi. In this case, as the highest military and political officer in Shanxi, he naturally could not stand by and watch, so he decided to send a division

The troops rushed to the Xiaowutai Mountain area to jointly suppress the bandits. The troops have already set off and will arrive in the next few days.

After reading Yan Xishan's telegram, Tang Qiuli couldn't laugh or cry. He was worthy of being a Shanxi native. He knew how to do business in his mother's womb. The bandits had become turtles in the jar. At this time, he sent troops to help the situation. He would not die without firing a shot.

It's really a good plan to get a big advantage as soon as the soldiers are killed.

The best thing is that he called sending troops to join forces to suppress bandits, rather than to assist in suppressing bandits. A "joint effort" shows his level of shrewdness. The secret is all here, even if there is no seizure at all, in front of the people of North China, especially Shanxi

, earned a good reputation, it was the bandits that the Jin army and the *** divisions destroyed together. The battle was fought by the *** divisions, and the credit was equally divided.

Even if I call back and refuse now, it is already too late. They have sent out all the troops. However, if this gentleman knew that among the more than 20,000 bandits, there are still thousands of Japanese soldiers, I don’t know what he would think. I would definitely kill him together.

Bandit, changed to mediating the Sino-Japanese dispute.

Tang Qiuli immediately forwarded the original text of Yan Xishan's telegram to Liu Tiehan, asking him to be responsible for contacting the Jin generals, and reminded Liu Tiehan that the Jin army must not be allowed to defend the inner layer of the encirclement. If they knew that there were Japanese inside,

Something bad will happen.

At noon, Ji Xingwen sent a telegram saying that yesterday evening, more than 1,500 people from Zhang Yinwu's unit of the Hebei People's Army were encountered in the Xushui area north of Baoding. Judging from their marching direction, they were in the Xiaowutai Mountain War Zone. According to

The deputy commander ordered that our troops block all roads to the Xiaowutai Mountain War Zone in the name of exercise.

This morning, Zhang Yinwu's troops tried to pass by force, but were blocked by our soldiers. There was a brief exchange of fire between the two sides, but there were no casualties. Now a confrontation situation is forming. I would like to ask the deputy commander for instructions. If Zhang Yinwu's troops forcefully pass through again, is it allowed to fire?

Tang Qiuli's head is two big. What do you think the Hebei People's Army is coming to join in the fun at this time? In such a big place, your few troops are not enough to fill your teeth. You can't treat them like bandits and Japanese.

People like that, clean it up with machine guns and cannons.

At this time, most of the troops of the Hebei People's Army were armed under the control of the Communist Party. Zhang Yinwu was not like Zhang Yinwu who, after the July 7th Incident, specifically engaged in friction with the Eighth Route Army who insisted on fighting behind enemy lines in North China in the Taihang Mountains. He was called "

Friction Expert”.

It seems that the armed forces in the **'s hands are in urgent need of weapons and ammunition to improve their equipment level, and they also have the idea of ​​​​this batch of weapons and ammunition. It is absolutely impossible to fight. The ** is trying to change its appearance, and it is not easy to save such a small fortune.

, allowing Ji Xingwen's regular army to be wiped out in one fell swoop is emotionally unjustifiable.

Tang Qiuli thought twice and sent a telegram to Zhang Yinwu in the name of the vice chairman of the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee and the deputy commander of the 29th Army. The telegram stated that currently, the 29th Army and the North China Army stationed in North China

The division is conducting a joint military exercise. During the exercise, in order to prevent misunderstandings and accidents, local armed forces are not allowed to leave their current locations without receiving orders from the Pingjin Security Command. Otherwise, they will be charged with spying on military secrets.

.

As for whether Zhang Yinwu believes it or not, that's his problem. Anyway, as long as your weapons don't ruin my good deeds, just stay at home and don't move around, nothing will happen. Tang Qiuli's words were very harsh. As North China

The number two person in the group sent a telegram specifically to a leader of a civilian armed force. It was unusual, and Zhang Yinwu should be able to weigh the weight.

He also ordered Ji Xingwen not to fire without permission under any circumstances, and to report the situation of Zhang Yinwu's troops every two hours.

The military meeting held by Amiichiro Tashiro, the commander of the Japanese North China Garrison Army, in the headquarters war room in Tianjin has been going on for several hours. The theme of the meeting was just one, how to make the Baji troops surrounded by Japanese troops in the Xiaowutai Mountain area

Darhu and a regiment of Imperial Japanese soldiers were able to escape safely without revealing their identity.

What makes Akihiro Tashiro very angry is that the intelligence agency was not aware of such a large-scale military operation by the Japanese Army in advance. This is an unforgivable dereliction of duty, irresponsible for the Imperial Holy War, and the loss of thousands of Imperial soldiers.

Life is a joke.

The explanation of the intelligence agency is that because the focus of the work is all on Song Zheyuan's 29th Army, the ** division has newly entered the pass from Manchuria, and the main force has not been stationed in the major cities in North China. Our intelligence network is in North China.

Remote areas and rural areas are very weak and it can be said that they have not been established at all.

Therefore, we only have a rough understanding of Tang Qiuli, the commander of the ** Division. As for the soldiers, weapons and equipment, garrison locations, names, personalities, hobbies, specialties and other information of the ** Division, the names, personalities, hobbies, specialties and other information of the generals at all levels are still blank.

Although the explanation given by the intelligence agency seemed very reasonable, Akihiro Tashiro still could not forgive them for their dereliction of duty, because the dereliction of duty by the intelligence agency had put thousands of imperial soldiers into desperate situations. Even if there were any reasons, they could not make up for this loss.

Amiichiro Tashiro reprimanded the head of the intelligence department, removed him from his post on the spot, and made his deputy chief of staff concurrently the head of the intelligence agency. However, even if the dismissed guy was shot on the spot, it would not solve the actual problem.

During the meeting, several distress telegrams were received from Badarhu. For this Japanese-Mongolian mixed-race, Tashiro Anichiro still had a good impression. He had made great contributions to the expansion of the Empire of Japan in the Recha area and had outstanding achievements.

, is a very talented and capable officer.

Badalhu is a guy who never admits defeat. He sent several distress telegrams one after another, indicating that the situation was more serious than he said. What Tashiro Anichiro found most difficult to deal with was that a company of imperial soldiers led by Badalhu...

They are bandits disguised as Chinese.

If they were wearing the uniforms of imperial soldiers, Amiichiro Tashiro would have countless ways to get them out of the encirclement of the Japanese Army. He could even directly put pressure on the Nanjing National Government to come forward and force Tang Qiuli to release them.

A senior staff officer made a murderous suggestion. He immediately mobilized the scattered Imperial Army troops to form a heavy group and rushed to the Xiaowutai Mountain area to forcefully break through the Army Division's encirclement and rescue Badalhu and the Imperial soldiers.

After listening to the suggestion, Tashiro Anichiro felt that this person was a pure martial artist. This kind of person could also sneak into the headquarters as a senior staff officer. At his level, he was only responsible for managing baggage and supplies or cooking soldiers. After the meeting, let this pig

The brainless guy went to the logistics warehouse to report, but the poor senior staff officer did not think that making suggestions would make him gloriously laid off.

His entire force, which is only about 50,000 men, is still dispersed and stationed at various key points. If all the troops are mobilized and Song Zheyuan's 29th Army confronts the Imperial Army, who can guarantee that they will not take the opportunity to occupy various key points?

The empire's many years of painstaking efforts in North China will all be lost in an instant. This loss is much greater than that of a regiment of imperial soldiers.

Moreover, it also destroyed the empire's entire strategic layout in North China. What's more, the *** division was not Song Zheyuan's 29th Army. The quality of his soldiers, equipment level and combat effectiveness were in Manchuria, fighting against Nanjiro's Kwantung Army again and again.

As a result of training, I have heard a lot about the achievements of that division commander Tang Qiuli.

It is still unknown whether the empire can win by pulling up all the troops in North China. Besides, I have no idea whether the base camp will agree to this. Even if I find an excuse to kill all the Japanese divisions, or use this as a reason to launch a full-scale war against China

, you have to give me time to mobilize a sufficient number of troops from the mainland or Manchuria to prepare for war. Can Tang Qiuli give me time?

When Anichiro Tashiro came to North China to take office in April this year, the situation at that time was very conducive to the Imperial Japanese Army. In the entire Pingjin area of ​​North China, there was only one 29th Army that was not directly related to the Nanjing government, and it was completely surrounded by imperial forces.

among.

The ** division entered the customs from Manchuria, completely breaking this situation. The empire's military strength and advantages have been lost. This Tang Qiuli has now created such a problem for himself. This person will become the empire in North China, and even

He suddenly sympathized with Nanjiro, the thorn in the side of the entire Chinese battlefield. Dealing with this man in Manchuria must have been a difficult life.
