Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 489 Papery Niangziguan?

Outside, a square formation stood neatly, including cavalry and infantry. The formation was tight and silent. When they saw the division commander coming out, the commander leading the team gave an order. In the darkness, the soldiers saluted the division commander in unison, with uniform and clean movements.

They were neat, exuding such a sense of strength that they were clearly a rigorously trained force.

Tang Qiuli was a little confused. The commander stepped forward and said, "Report to the division commander, the special guard group of the division headquarters has come to report for inspection by the division commander!" Wait, Tang Qiuli remembered that there was no such special guard group in the establishment.

Ah, where did it come from?

Liu Chun, Tong Batu and Ma Chaoyang came over from behind. Only then did Tang Qiuli understand what was going on. After Feng Jiwu left, several people felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavy. The teacher is with us and has a great responsibility.

The security force around him is weak. There are only more than 800 people in the division headquarters security brigade. This is not good. If we encounter a large army of little Japs, won't we suffer a loss? We are not necessarily all beside the division commander. We must have combat missions.

.

After discussion, we simply decided that everyone should draw the most capable cadres and soldiers from their own security forces to form a reinforced battalion, and together they could form the division commander's special security regiment. When we perform our tasks, we can also feel at ease. This temporary

The formed guard regiment has 2,400 people, including cavalry and infantry, plus the original guard group, a team of more than 3,000 people and 200 troops. When encountering a regiment of little devils, they can also kill them.

After Tang Qiuli understood what was going on, he deeply thanked these subordinates for their concern for him, but he was not prepared to accept it. The troops left behind were originally small, and each brigade was under great pressure. Thousands of people were placed on their own

It was a waste of precious troops around him, but Liu Chun and the others could not be explained.

The troops can return to the army, but the condition is that the division commander must be with one of our brigades. Otherwise, this special guard group cannot be withdrawn. Tang Qiuli couldn't laugh or cry. He became a burden to them. Later, everyone gave in and left a reinforcement.

The battalion has more than 800 people, half cavalry and half infantry, serving as the division's security force.

Immediately, the Second Brigade of the Japanese Army stayed in Jiuguan and waited. The First and Second Cavalry Brigades moved forward from Shijiazhuang to the outskirts of Baoding. They used the mobility and speed of the cavalry to attack the small number of Japanese troops left behind and attack the Japanese troops.

The transportation line made their rear areas uneasy. There was only one principle: never allow a tough battle. The purpose was to attract the attention of the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on the Niangziguan defense line. Once it was discovered that the Japanese army had an attempt to encircle, they would immediately withdraw into the Taihang Mountains.

After the cavalry troops set off, the division commanders and guard troops left their bases and marched deep into the Taihang Mountains. The reason why Tang Qiuli left a small number of troops in the Taihang Mountains was of course due to the pressure on troops from all directions of fierce fighting. More importantly, he

It is necessary to take advantage of the vast mountainous areas with complex terrain and the chasing Japanese troops to fight a mountain guerrilla war.

He was confident that he would retreat to Huangyadong at worst. After several years of hard work, Huangyadong was an indestructible fortress. Even if all the Japanese troops came to siege, they would not be able to attack it. The original design was for the siege of heavy Japanese troops.

situation.

In the early morning of November 12th, Feng Jiwu, who had been marching all night, could already see the towering walls of Niangzi Pass in the dim light of dawn. Against the backdrop of the mountains, Niangzi Pass was guarding the canyon between the two mountains.

The rolling mountains of Mianshan, when they reach here, seem to have been struck by a giant with an axe, and suddenly broke apart, thus achieving the reputation of Niangziguan as a major thoroughfare between Shanxi and Hebei provinces.

In the early winter mountains and rivers in the north, the withered and yellow weeds swayed with the cold wind, and the pines and cypresses became darker and greener than ink. The surrounding fields were quiet, with only the rapid footsteps of soldiers marching. Niangziguan was like a sleeping baby, which had not yet woken up from its sleep. Feng Jiwu breathed a long sigh of relief, put his heart in his heart, and finally arrived here ahead of the Japanese army.

This night of urgent march was an unforgettable one for Feng Jiwu in his many years of military career. Later, he wrote in his diary: "After receiving the order, I felt very uneasy. I was worried about the safety of my division commander and deeply regretted not staying one more brigade. The troops are by the division commander's side, but there are wars everywhere in North China, and the troops are being used to the limit."

"What is even more worrying is the difficulty of the march. From here to Niangziguan, there are all mountain roads. The infantry and cavalry can barely make it. The artillery troops towed by cars will not be able to march. They have to find other ways, and time is very tight. , fearing that the Japanese army would attack first, our troops rushed to seize the city and destroyed it. I asked the guide, but there was no shortcut available, so I was very anxious."

Later, Feng Jiwu could only order the artillery troops to divert to Yangquan and then rush to Niangziguan. In this way, the artillery troops would have to walk nearly a day longer. The Type 92 infantry guns and mortars were disassembled and transported by mules and horses. , even so, the difficulties and dangers along the way were beyond his imagination.

Along the way, due to the darkness and the dangerous road, there were many wounded and dead soldiers who fell into the valley. At dawn, the number of non-combat casualties was counted, and the number was more than a thousand. There were also nearly a hundred mules and horses that fell into the valley, and they had to climb all the way. Coming here can more accurately describe the mountain road Feng Jiwu's troops took.

After going down the mountain, he finally saw the plains. Tens of thousands of people were marching. It was no small movement. Feng Jiwu thought that the Jin garrison in the pass had noticed it a long time ago and at least sent liaison officers to contact them.

When they arrived before the door closed, there was no movement at all. Instead, there were two sentry boxes standing there majestically, and a wooden railing across the middle of the road. When the soldiers arrived at the sentry box, they were very happy when they saw it. There were about a class of The soldiers of the Jin army were lying on the big bunk, with their heads covered, sleeping soundly. I dare you to say that these soldiers were sleeping without even leaving guard posts.

When Feng Jiwu saw this situation, he frowned, ordered the soldiers to go in, and put away all their guns. A dozen rusty rifles, which looked like they had not been polished for a year, were carried to the yard, even though In this way, these Jin soldiers were still awake, snoring loudly, and some were talking sweetly in their sleep.

Entering the pass, they still didn't see a single soldier. However, the common people who got up early were frightened when they saw so many soldiers suddenly appearing on the street. Feng Jiwu asked about the direction of the headquarters and ordered the troops to immediately stationed in various places. Deploy the key points, then lead the guard battalion and walk towards the headquarters.

The Jin Army Niangziguan Garrison Headquarters is quite impressive. A large sign with black characters on a white background reads "National Revolutionary Army Niangziguan Garrison Headquarters" at the door. There are two soldiers with live ammunition at the door, leaning against the door frame, holding their rifles. In my arms, with my hat on my face, I dozed there.

Good guy, hundreds of people arrived, but there was no reaction at all. The guard battalion commander went over and patted his shoulder, "Hey! Brother, wake up!" The soldier opened his eyes in a daze, and suddenly saw so many people. , was startled, hurriedly put the rifle in his hand, and asked: "That part? Stop, don't you see that this is the headquarters area?" With this shout, the soldiers next to him also woke up.

The discerning soldier saw that the leader in front was a lieutenant general, who was one level higher than the division commander, and his uniform was different from his own. He was a member of the Central Army, so he quickly ran in to report.

After a while, two major generals came out. They were more or less disheveled and walked a little sloppily. From a distance, they could smell the pungent smell of wine. Feng Jiwu became angry. The enemy was in front of him, and Shijiazhuang was beaten to pieces.

Flying, the troops are unprepared, the soldiers are slack, and the commander is drinking and having fun. How can such an army defend Niangzi Pass?

"I am Feng Jiwu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater and deputy commander of the North China ** Division. Are you the supreme commander of the garrison here?" Feng Jiwu suppressed his anger and announced his family name unceremoniously. With such a thing, there is no nonsense.

of necessity.

The two major generals were startled. The lieutenant general had a bad tone. The door was very high. It was strange. How did he get in? There was no movement at the sentry post. He didn't even think about it. Division commanders are like this. How can the soldiers under him be so good?

!This is called the upper beam being out of alignment and the lower beam being crooked.

"Liu Bingzhang, the commander of the 91st Division of the Jin Army, and Wang Weihuai, the commander of the 97th Division, have humble posts. I wonder if the commanders have come all the way from afar. Do they have any urgent military affairs?" The two Jin Army division commanders looked confused.

At this question, Feng Jiwu could no longer suppress his anger. From the moment he entered Niangzi Pass, he became angry. "Emergency military affairs? Thank you for asking. We fought in Shijiazhuang for six days and six nights. Is there any Niangzi Pass?"

Heard a little gunfire? Didn’t smell a trace of gunpowder?”

"I heard, what's wrong?" Not sure why Feng Jiwu suddenly got angry, the two teachers asked in aggrieved tone.

"What's wrong? Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are preparing to attack here. I have already heard their footsteps. I want to ask you, how are the troops deployed? How are the fortifications being built?" This question was asked to Mr. ***,

Since they entered Niangziguan, they no longer have a tight spell on their heads. They closed the door and proclaimed themselves kings, but they continued to make troubles.

I drank wine and ate game every day, and from time to time I asked my subordinates to get a few gorgeous girls from the mountains to taste what it was like to be a groom every night. I lived a small life, surpassing the gods, and how could I care about it?

They didn't remember anything else Yan Xishan said. They only remembered one sentence: "There are military divisions in front of you. Don't send troops even if the sky is broken. Guarding the door is a great achievement."

Last night, my subordinates got another beautiful girl from the mountains. This one is annoying. She has a slender waist, bulging breasts, and a big butt. She is still an untouched chick. Neither of them is willing to let the other enjoy it alone.

, let’s do a double cultivation, spend the whole night, and see the girl with only half a breath left, and then fall asleep with unfulfilled satisfaction.

Over there in Shijiazhuang, the sound of artillery was loud, and over here they were eating, drinking, having fun, and raping women. They were originally brothers, old partners in eating, drinking, and having fun, and they changed their ways to enjoy themselves. The army had already let it go. Even the regiment stationed in that direction

, it was all arranged by the chief of staff, and the sudden question really stumped them, and they were hesitant and unable to say anything.

There were people helping them to relieve the siege. A series of gunshots rang out fiercely in front. The Japanese army arrived. Feng Jiwu looked at his watch. It took less than an hour and a half for the troops to enter Niangziguan. It was so close that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

These two foodies and their coward soldiers, the Japanese did not need to fire cannons, just a stone and a stone to break open the Niangziguan, and took more than 20,000 prisoners with them.
