Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 519: Finally found the Taihang Mountains

After reading the summary of the battles over the past few days, Tang Qiuli applauded. This battle had made them perfect. With more than 30,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were disturbed day and night. They even slept with their eyes half open.

, if you don’t be smart, maybe a group of murderous gods will appear somewhere. Even so, it’s impossible to guard against them. There are battlefields everywhere in the thousands-mile-long Taihang Mountains.

Is this clearly one of the old man's famous guerrilla tactics, Sparrow War? However, this is an improved version of Sparrow War, because what he released was a group of eagles, and the ones he used were not guns and cannons. They were all equipped with the same number of eagles.

The little devil is not an opponent. Just one mouthful will make the Japanese army's skin and flesh go to pieces. However, at this time, the Japanese Red Army was still in a corner of northern Shaanxi and had not officially entered the historical stage. The old man's theory of "protracted war" would only be available a few years later.

Out of the oven.

Later, Tang Qiuli felt itchy, so he hid it from the heads of other departments in the division. After talking to Shan Hu, he led the guard brigade on a long-distance raid of more than 100 kilometers, quietly entered a Japanese logistics supply base, and killed the Japanese soldiers standing guard.

sentinel, use

After wiping his neck with a dagger and killing a squadron of Japanese soldiers, he carried everything he could and burned the rest with a fire. When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, he saw only ashes everywhere, the charred corpses of his companions, and

There is a lingering smoke.

After several days of fighting in the Eagle Strike, Yamaguchi lost many troops and was in a passive position. Forced by the situation, he had to change his tactics and gather his troops. The Japanese troops who penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains retreated one after another and concentrated in the direction of Shexian County. After receiving the intelligence,

Tang Qiuli was not going to let the Japanese troops who had been rampant in the base area for more than 20 days retreat so easily. After burning down the house and destroying the family, he just wanted to pat his ass and leave. How could it be so cheap?

He issued a new call for battle and launched an all-out attack, using volleys, ambushes, attacks, etc., to do everything possible to eliminate the Japanese army. In a word, fight as you please, even if you throw a few rocks, as long as you can kill the little Japanese.

In addition, he also ordered the Huangyadong base to print a large number of leaflets. The name was scary enough, and the three bright red characters "Kill Order" were drafted by him personally. "Tang Qiu, Commander-in-Chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command,"

Following Li's instructions, the Japanese invaders Matsushita Regiment massacred more than 3,000 innocent civilians in one day, creating the Sucheng Massacre that shocked the whole country.

This beastly behavior is outrageous and outrages both humans and gods. Our troops must annihilate this regiment at any cost. All Japanese soldiers belonging to Matsushita's regiment, regardless of life or death, will have their heads cut off to commemorate our fallen compatriots. Japanese Chief Matsushita Qing

1. Japanese spy Xu Fu is the chief culprit of the Sucheng massacre. Once captured, he will be immediately taken to Sucheng and sentenced to death."

There is also a line of large characters at the back. This fatwa will never expire. Anyone in our military or civilians who can provide the whereabouts of the Matsushita Regiment will be heavily rewarded. Under the names of Matsushita Seiichi and Xu Fu, there are also big blood-red ticks. Look.

It's shocking

, the leaflets were scattered all over the roads that the Japanese troops must pass. Although the officers strictly ordered not to circulate them, there was no fire in the paper. The soldiers of the Matsushita Regiment were in panic all day long. They finally knew that the evil they had done would be inevitable sooner or later.

Returned

For a time, there was fighting everywhere in the Taihang Mountains. The Japanese troops retreated and were exhausted. When they were rushing on their way, a burst of artillery shells flew from nowhere. After blowing up a large number of soldiers, the attackers disappeared without a trace. In the clear sky above their heads, suddenly, from

On the cliffs on both sides, meteor-like grenades fell head-on, blowing up the Japanese soldiers.

Weeping for father and mother, flesh and blood flying everywhere, getting ready to start fighting, but there was no movement again. The mountain road that was going well suddenly became furious, and a large number of landmines exploded violently. In addition to the corpses on the ground, there were many more Japanese troops.

Wounded soldiers missing arms and legs are even more troublesome. One wounded soldier needs at least two soldiers to take care of him.

They retreated and were beaten all the way. They were tortured several times a day. The Japanese officers and soldiers were tortured to the point of insanity. They were so angry that when they saw something they didn't like, they shot and bombarded them for a while, and finally managed to gather all the troops.

Come back, count the troops, summarize the results of the battle, Yamaguchi is close

Crying out loud, in a few days, Tang Qiuli's army defeated them piecemeal. Coupled with the consumption in the previous period, almost a main division's strength was lost. The result was disastrous, including burning countless empty rooms.

house, plus the Panasonic regiment killed more than 3,000 people.

When mentioning Matsushita Seiichi, Yamaguchi became angry. This coward was frightened by Tang Qiuli's killing order. Without the protection of a squadron soldier, he didn't even dare to sleep. He was nervous all day long. In the middle of the night, he often

He jumped up and shouted that the Chinese army was coming, which made the whole regiment have low morale and panic. Yesterday, he actually found himself and applied to retire and return to China.

He was scolded by Yamaguchi. If it weren't for the black circles under his eyes, the staggering when he walked, and the fact that he had lost a lot of weight, he would have been sent to a military court and sentenced to the crime of retreating from battle. And that Xu Fu

, had long since slipped back to Peiping, returned to the intelligence system, worked as his intelligence officer, and continued to deceive the Chinese people.

After resting for two days, the Japanese army began to attack in the direction of Wuxiang in southern Shanxi in the form of a large corps advance. Yamaguchi learned the lesson of spreading his fingers and being beaten everywhere. The divisions stayed close together and advanced as a whole. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers

The Japanese army, like locusts, rolled northward on the snow in the Taihang Mountains.

As soon as the Japanese army left Shexian, Tang Qiuli knew that their next attack target must be Taiyuan. This was also the only effective way to break the current deadlock, because the Japanese army was heavily concentrated, like a rolling stone mill.

There was nowhere to start, the eagle strike tactic was ineffective, and with the troops Tang Qiuli currently had, he did not have the strength to block a frontal attack.

The Japanese army raided the Taihang Mountains for more than 20 days, but finally returned without success. The siege of the base area was lifted. Xiangyue Qingsi's attack on Taiyuan was vicious enough. Tang Qiuli arranged his troops to take advantage of the favorable terrain to block and attack along the way.

While slowing down the Japanese troops' march north, they notified Yan Xishan, who had returned to Taiyuan, of the latest enemy situation.

After receiving Tang Qiuli's urgent notification, Yan Xishan absolutely believed that it was true. After operating in Shanxi for so many years, what happened on this ground could not be hidden from Chief Yan's ears. There was only one thing that he did not understand. There were people in Shanxi.

What's so great about making the Japanese jealous and using more than 400,000 troops to capture Shanxi?

I don’t want to rob the beautiful world of Jiangnan, but I want to have trouble with my old man. **, I only pick out the soft ones when I eat persimmons. I will scold and scold. Taiyuan must not be lost. If Taiyuan is lost, no matter how well Datong beats it, Datong will not be able to bear it.

Yes, the old man has no choice but to run away. When he gets there, he always lowers his eyes and eats based on other people's faces.

Shamelessly, he implored Tang Qiuli's troops in the Taihang Mountains to try their best to delay the Japanese army from marching north. At the same time, he deployed 140,000 troops deployed on the banks of the Yellow River, Liulin, and Yongheguan in western Shanxi to guard against the Zhu Mao Red Army.

The main force was urgently transferred eastward to the Wuxiang area for defense.

On December 10, Tang Qiuli, who had been dragged to the mountain pass in the Taihang Mountains for eleven days, finally saw the ancient city wall of Wuxiang. He looked back at the snow-covered, towering peaks and rolling Taihang Mountains, feeling lingering fear in his heart.

, I was lucky not to be tortured to death by the Chinese devil in the Taihang Mountains. I did not know how many ambushes I suffered along the way. The hundreds of miles of road were just paved with the corpses of soldiers. The original four-day journey took a full eleven days.

sky.

During this period, I don’t know how many telegrams I received from His Excellency the Commander. First they were urging, then they were asking questions, and finally they even brought out the words of dismissal and investigation. Yamaguchi is such a hothead, everything has been going wrong since he entered this damn Taihang Mountains. That Tang

Qiu Li is like an extremely annoying fly, surrounding him, no matter day or night

, to prevent the troops from calming down, the most annoying thing is that in ancient Han, where two mountains sandwiched a ditch, Tang Qiuli's troops blocked the mountain pass and bombarded the imperial troops with heavy artillery all night long, not to mention the losses.

The next day, all the soldiers were listless, swaying when walking, and at least two squadrons lost their footing and fell into the ravine.

Yamaguchi cursed the Taihang Mountains and Tang Qiuli. He most hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would do something crazy and send the Taihang Mountains and Tang Qiuli to hell. When they got to the vicinity of Wuxiang, even if they left the Taihang Mountains, there would be a flat plain ahead.

There was no danger to defend the Jinzhong Plain, and he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

It is Yamaguchi's established strategy to capture Wuxiang and open the way to Jinzhong and Taiyuan. Once we get here, it will probably not be a problem to fulfill the commander's orders, right? Although it has been delayed for six days, there is finally an explanation, and it will not be a problem.

Too ugly.

The commander of the Sixth Division of the vanguard called for instructions. The troops had been marching and fighting in the mountainous areas for days. The soldiers were exhausted, tired and tired. Should they rest on the spot for a day so that they could conquer Wuxiang in one go tomorrow? Yamaguchi shook his head repeatedly and asked with his military strategist's wisdom.

The tone of voice taught: "No, no,

Soldiers are very valuable, and they must be surprised and attacked unprepared. Let the Chinese people who believe in Sun Tzu's art of war see that their methods are outdated. The Imperial Japanese Army is the truly invincible and invincible warrior. Nakajima-kun, prepare to attack and wait for your good news.

Hope to see you in Wuxiang City"

Putting down the phone, Yamaguchi yawned. He was really tired, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and his muscles ached. He asked the orderly to bring him a glass of milk, drank it in one breath, and then fell down on the camp bed and fell asleep with his head covered.

, he doesn’t need to worry about attacking a small Wuxiang, one division is enough.

The Japanese soldiers who had just rested and had not yet recovered from their fatigue, under the orders of the officers, cursed in a low voice, formed an attack formation, and rushed to Wuxiang County. However, they were not as nervous as the battle was about to take place.

The township is too small to be worthy of using so many troops. One division can flatten Wu Township.

The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Wuxiang hit an iron plate and was knocked dizzy and bounced back. From Guocun, Qinxian, Fengzhou to Wuxiang and Haobei, the road stretched for more than 40 kilometers.

On the front line, 140,000 Jin troops spent several days building a large number of fortifications, and there were three lines of defense in depth, like iron fences, blocking the way of the Japanese army.

In the Yamaguchi headquarters, the phone rang loudly. The staff officer on duty picked up the phone and looked at the Chief of Staff who was sleeping soundly with a troubled expression.
