Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 520: Battle in Wuxiang

Since entering the Taihang Mountains and arriving at the foot of Wuxiang City, these small staff officers have fully experienced the donkey temper of His Excellency Chief of Staff Yamaguchi. If they are slightly unfavorable, it is common for them to curse at each other and use their big mouths and fists. Your Excellency is a new employee.

I suffer from neurasthenia, and I hate being disturbed especially when sleeping.

Look at your sleeping position now, as sweet as a pig. When the staff thought about it, the furious eyes of the Chief of Staff, who had disturbed his sweet sleep, made his heart skip a beat, and his mouth was full of tears, but he didn't dare to call out. The Sixth Division on the other side

Nakajima, the regimental division leader, was also furious. He launched an attack on Wu Xiang.

The two attacking regiments hit the iron plate and withdrew, but only a little more than one regiment, with thousands of soldiers, fell at the foot of Wuxiang City. The chief of staff was still in the mood to sleep? Look at the Jin army's defense system

, this is not a job that a family in the Sixth Division can do.

Yamaguchi was woken up from a good dream. As expected, black lines popped up on his face. His eyes were shining fiercely. He stared at the small staff officer with good eyes. His left hand was groping under the pillow. He didn't know whether he was touching a gun or looking for a knife. He was finally tired.

I could relax more and have a good sleep, but I was disturbed by this idiot. Yamaguchi is so angry!

The poor little staff officer's calves were trembling. Seeing that the momentum was not right, he shouted loudly: "Report to the Chief of Staff, the commander of the Nakajima Division of the Sixth Division made an emergency call. The attack on Wuxiang was frustrated! The troops suffered heavy casualties!"

"Honey?" Yamaguchi's sleepiness was swept away and his attention was attracted. The young staff officer breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. My emperor, I finally escaped. He was holding the phone.

Yamaguchi, the more I listen to it, the more livid my face becomes. If a person is unlucky, his teeth will be clenched when he drinks cold water, and his heels will be hit when he farts. How could there be so many Chinese troops in the small Wuxiang County, and they have built complete fortifications.

What a hell, it must be the fault of that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. He tried his best to hold me back in the Taihang Mountains, and ordered Yan Xishan to mobilize a large number of troops to rush ahead of me and build fortifications, which were originally vulnerable.

Wuxiang has become

An insurmountable fortress, Yamaguchi cursed Tang Qiuli bitterly, suddenly became furious, threw down the phone, and shouted at the stunned little staff officer: "Baga! It's like a pig's head, hurry up and prepare the car,

I want to rush to the front line!"

The junior staff officer rushed out as if he had received an amnesty. Being with this violent boss would cost him at least ten years of his life. Yamaguchi rushed to the Wuxiang front line and met with Nakajima, the commander of the Sixth Division who looked unlucky.

I was shocked by the scene in front of me. Wuxiang completely turned into a fortress, with countless bunkers, bunkers, and fortifications extending to both sides. The corpses of Japanese soldiers fell one by one in front of the position.

The reason why Wuxiang became like this is also due to Yan Xishan. Although he is usually cunning and calculating, he still has a strong concept of protecting the family. Without other troops who can use other people to lead the battle,

He spared his own money and issued a fatal order that the troops rushing to Wuxiang must arrive within three days. The 140,000 Jin troops were transported by vehicles and horses and rushed to Wuxiang at the specified time.

Without even taking a breath, Yan Xishan immediately began to repair the fortifications. Yan Xishan served as the garrison commander of Wuxiang and went to Wuxiang to supervise. Whatever was needed was immediately shipped from Taiyuan. He knew very well that he was competing for time with the Japanese.

How many troops does Tang Qiuli have?

, he estimated that it was almost the same. He originally thought that it would be good to hold off the Japanese for six or seven days, but he never thought that Tang Qiuli bought him eleven days. With the old man watching here in person, how could the Jin army dare to be careless?

, which makes Wuxiang’s defense more perfect.

The old man thought that Tang Qiuli had sent 30,000 men to fight against the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, all for himself, and he felt a little moved in his heart. After passing Wuxiang, he saw the vast plains of Jinzhong, which were undefendable.

Then I thought about it and became angry again. I, Yan Xishan, have staked all my family property and left not a single penny in my hand. It was all the Japanese who caused the trouble. Tang Qiuli was the same. If the Japanese were not left in the Taihang Mountains, they were left in my hands.

What are you doing in Jinzhong?

Since December 10th, there has never been peace under the city of Wuxiang. The Japanese army launched successive large-scale attacks. On a front line of more than 40 kilometers long, artillery roared and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Fierce fighting broke out across the entire line. Soldiers from both sides

They were all stunned, fighting eye to eye like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. With complete defenses and the Jin army fully prepared, the Japanese army's tidal offensive failed to achieve the expected results.

After three days of fierce fighting, the Jin army's Wuxiang defense line did not lose an inch of ground. It was like a nail and was firmly nailed to the south gate of Taiyuan. The main attacking Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and suffered heavy casualties. The Jin army's losses were slightly less than those of the Japanese army. Yamaguchi

It can't be attacked anymore.

You have to attack even if you can't attack. With the death order of Kaoru Seiji there, Yamaguchi can only fight hard. In the end, the exhausted Japanese army had to stop temporarily. There were problems with their logistical supplies and transportation lines.

They were cut off by Tang Qiuli's troops and had to retreat five kilometers to rest and recuperate.

The exhausted Jin army took this opportunity to replenish a large amount of ammunition and supplies. With Taiyuan at its back, supplies were more convenient than the Japanese army. In view of the serious losses of frontline troops, Yan Xishan sent his personal guard, the **3rd Brigade, to the front line.

, the old man spent a lot of money and was determined to block the Japanese at the last pass out of the Taihang Mountains. The battle situation in Wuxiang was temporarily deadlocked here.

Fighting to send away hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops along the way also meant that the Taihang Mountain base area had temporarily returned to calm. Tang Qiuli gathered the scattered troops back and reorganized his fists to prepare for the next stage of the battle. During this period, he took the time to return to

Go to Huangya Cave.

Mei Ting's injuries recovered at an amazing speed. With the help of the nurse, she could carefully walk a few steps in the ward. When she saw Tang Qiuli return, she was as excited as a little girl, pestering him and asking questions.

Ask this question, Mei Ting, who is lively and active, is depressed by this period of recuperation.

His attachment to Tang Qiuli deepened day by day, and he often looked at her husband in trance. After Tang Qiuli's injury healed, a long scar was left on his face. He was still worried about this scar.

I always laugh at myself and say, this time, if I don’t get my ID, I won’t be able to enter or exit the Huangya Cave. He looks like a bad guy. The guard soldier, why don’t I arrest him?

Mei Ting didn't see it that way. The scars on her husband's face not only did not damage his image, but also increased his charm as a man, giving people a wild and rough feeling. They say scars are medals on men. Mine

Her husband hung the medal on his face, and she snuggled in Tang Qiuli's arms, gently touching the scars on his face from time to time, which made Tang Qiuli feel itchy in his heart, like countless little bugs crawling on his face.

After Mei Ting told her feelings about seeing the scars on his face, Tang Qiuli couldn't laugh or cry. If he added an eye patch and no makeup, he would look like a Pirates of the Caribbean, but his wife admired it very much. I really can't understand a woman's mind.

, I just regret that there are no plastic surgery hospitals in this era, otherwise, it must be completely repaired. How can the image of the handsome and elegant young man be as attractive as before?

On the third day of the Wuxiang defensive battle, that is, on December 12, Tang Qiuli led the Ma Chaoyang Brigade and Jiang Yanming Brigade to leave the Huangyadong base area again and insert themselves into the rear of the Japanese army from the southwest.

Yan Xishan's 140,000-strong army was standing in front of him, and he was pulling the Japanese's hind legs. He would hit Yamaguchi a few times from time to time, but he couldn't kill Yamaguchi, and he was so angry that he jumped up and down.

He sent out Liu Chun's 1st Cavalry Brigade and Tong Batu's 2nd Cavalry Brigade. They had only one mission, specifically to attack the Japanese transport troops. From Shijiazhuang to the Wuxiang front line, the Japanese transport lines of hundreds of kilometers could be attacked and captured anywhere.

Don't transport the supplies back to Huangya Cave and burn them on the spot. Don't let Shankou get a bullet or a grain of food. Being able to bring them back to Shijiazhuang is the best result.

Tang Qiuli's move was extremely insidious. There were hundreds of thousands of troops at the mountain pass on the front line of Wuxiang. The reserves of supplies and ammunition were getting less and less, and they could not be sent to the rear. Currently, only small-scale attacks could be organized at the mountain pass.

, were repelled by the Jin army without exception, which also helped Yan Xishan a lot from the side.

Tang Qiuli led two brigades of troops and quietly approached the rear of the Japanese army. He killed two Japanese brigades in one fell swoop and burned down a supply base. Yamaguchi, who had been counting grains of rice to get by, felt heartbroken.

He almost lost his breath, but he understood that this was Tang Qiuli who was still haunting him, and he was looking at him again. The life of being attacked from both sides was really not human life.

After Tang Qiuli succeeded, he led his troops and moved overnight to the Guxian area, which was more than 80 kilometers away from Wuxiang. They waited in hiding and prepared to attack the mountain pass again to completely anger him. It was best to divide the troops to chase him and reduce the force.

Despite the pressure of the frontal battlefield, there are also opportunities to annihilate the enemy.

During this period, Tang Qiuli was in a very happy mood. Since the war started again in North China, he had been passive in every aspect in the early stage. He was suppressed by superior Japanese troops from three directions. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were deployed in the Taihang Mountain base area, and the troops were used to the limit.

The limit can be said to be stretched thin and difficult to cope with.

Among them, the most dangerous direction was Dezhou, which made him sweat. Fortunately, Liu Tiehan's troops in the east command were able to withstand the offensive of 300,000 Japanese troops and stabilize their position. As reinforcements arrived, they gradually gained the upper hand. Now, the Japanese troops

After retreating to Cangzhou, he was oppressed by the troops and unable to move. Feng Jiwu of Niangzi Pass also gained a lot. Not only did he guard Niangzi Pass like an iron barrel, but he also made a fortune and swallowed up more than 60,000 Yan Xishan's people.

There is no need to worry about Datong and Wuxiang. Yan Xishan has risked his life to save his family. The situation in the entire northern battlefield is developing in a direction that is favorable to him. In the southern battlefield of Songhu, since the Japanese army's Hangzhou Bay landing plan was completely bankrupt

, never organized a decent attack again, the old man had hundreds of thousands of troops guarding there.

Also, his wife's injury improved, so Tang Qiuli had some leisure time. He came back after hunting a few hares, cooked a pot of fragrant hare meat himself, and met several division chiefs from the division, plus Ma Chaoyang and

Jiang Yanming, have a great meal. These people were impressed by the chef's cooking skills when they were in Huangya Cave. Now, they finally got what they wanted. They all praised it and ate happily.

Tang Qiuli burped, got into the warm bed, and fell asleep with satisfaction. In his dream, he and his wife were filled with endless sadness. A sudden knock on the door woke him up from his dream. His instinctive feeling

Arrived, something big happened, otherwise, the personnel on duty at the division headquarters would not bother me so late.
