Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 672: Just be a fisherman

Tang Qiuli knew the risks involved in the decision he was about to make. This was a gamble related to the reshuffle of North China. The Japanese, himself, and Yan Xishan were destined to be eliminated. As for the government, there was no decision yet.

The capital on the gambling table, if the bet is won, North China will be in a situation where one side is competing with the Japanese. Without Yan Xishan as a stumbling block, it will definitely be beneficial to unify the north and realize the ideal hidden in the heart.

If he loses the bet, Tang Qiuli doesn't think he will lose this big bet. Looking at China today, except for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Nanjing, no one dares to claim first place in front of him.

With good timing, Tang Qiuli finally made the decision

Heart, let go, use Okamura Neji's military operation to eradicate all Yan Xishan's forces in Shanxi, the so-called killing with a borrowed knife. As for how to solve Okamura Neji and take Shanxi into his pocket, we can only see the next development of the war situation.

Make your decision again.

As for the real reason for making this decision, he will not disclose it to anyone, including his bed partner. This involves the moral and psychological bottom line of people of that era, as well as the current mainstream understanding, which is national justice, despicable or not.

, whether it is insidious or good at taking advantage of the situation, in a word, the opportunity cannot be missed. Of course, careful arrangements are absolutely indispensable, otherwise, it will become the target of public criticism, the sinner of the nation, and his own skills will be involved.

He called Chen Feng, the communications director, and recorded the following order: "1. Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison should immediately disengage from the Japanese troops marching westward into central Shanxi, return to the Niangziguan front line, and intensify the construction of defense facilities facing Taiyuan.

Seize Jingxing Pass, prepare to meet the Kwantung Army's southward troops, temporarily transfer troops from four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and immediately return to their original organizational structure.

2. Liu Tiehan's East Command troops on the Cangzhou front line continued to suppress all Japanese troops on the Cangzhou front line. The four brigades that participated in the Tianjin campaign were immediately returned to their original organizational structure. The Sulu Mobile Corps troops were transferred to three brigades north to the Zhangjiakou area to join the original

Two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade have joined together and are waiting in hiding near Zhangjiakou, waiting for the next order from the division commander."

"Third, the remaining troops of Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps immediately sent troops to the Shanhaiguan line in eastern Hebei to join Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade and Bagena's Sixth Cavalry Brigade, preparing to block the Kwantung Army's southward march. Fourth, Yuan Jinghao

Shaanxi Local Security Command troops left Handan,

After waiting for the order from the division headquarters, we must seize it, blockade the Handan-Changzhi highway, and cut off the logistics supply line of the Japanese army under Okamura Ningji. The ** Division Air Force, led by Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang respectively, is ready to support the Shanhaiguan battlefield and

Niangzi Pass, Jingxing Pass Battlefield."

"The Changfeng Department of Huangyadong Base, at the appropriate time, together with the Eighth Route Army troops, completely annihilated the Japanese troops stranded around Huangyadong. The Sun Zhenbang Department of the Yellow River Defense Corps followed covertly and attacked the Japanese army from Taiyuan. Remember not to expose the target.

, there is no clear order from the division commander not to fight the Japanese army. The above order is extremely urgent, and the Japanese army in each department will execute it." After dictating so many orders in one breath, Tang Qiuli's throat felt dry. He picked up the boiled water on the table, regardless of whether it was cool or hot.

Drink it all.

Chen Feng hurried out. So many orders must be sent to the commanders of each corps as soon as possible. Tang Qiuli recalled all the orders he dictated in his mind to see if there were any omissions. This was related to the ** division.

In a major life-and-death operation, he not only wanted to use Okamura Neji to uproot Yan Xishan's influence in Shanxi, but he also wanted to eat up Okamura Neji's heavy troops in Shanxi, or at least severely inflict them.

All his deployment adjustments were to close all the channels for Okamura Neji to retreat to Pingjin and form a huge encirclement. It would be best if Okamura Neji, an old devil, and Yan Xishan were both injured in the fight, and it would not take much effort to clean it up by himself.

Also, we need to capture Zhangjiakou and control the northwest Hebei area. I hope we can succeed this time. The next step is to completely regain Pingjin and drive the Japanese forces to the northeast.

Among all the troops, the ones with the heaviest burden are Liu Tiehan's troops and Tang Qiusheng's troops. After Liu Tiehan was assigned the four brigades of Li Honggang and Han Tie's troops, they only had about 300,000 troops. What he faced was

There were more than 400,000 Japanese troops. Fortunately, Liu Tiehan's troops had fought hard enough some time ago. The Japanese troops did not dare to launch a large-scale counterattack and were blindly on the defensive.

After adding more than 40,000 coal miners, Tang Qiusheng's Corps has a strength of nearly 100,000. Facing the Kwantung Army's southbound troops of unknown strength, it will definitely be very difficult. The purpose of attaching the air force is to solve this weak link.

them

The purpose of this action was to buy enough time for Zhou Yushan's transportation troops to evacuate Tianjin. As for Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, and Baoding, Tang Qiuli had no intention of holding on and competing with the Japanese army for several big cities. There was no need at all.

.

It felt like there were no omissions, but Tang Qiuli still felt unsure. He always felt that something had not been taken into consideration. He shook his head and thought that he was overusing his brain. The teacher pointed out that everyone was shocked by his series of rapid and torrential words.

The order made people tense, staff officers and correspondents kept coming in and out, and there was an atmosphere of an imminent war.

The reason why Okamura Neji dared to attack Taiyuan was that his troops were concentrated around Pingjin and there was no time to return for rescue. Yan Xishan devoted his main force to attack Zhangjiakou, which objectively gave Okamura Neiji a

chance of success, otherwise, with the strength of the Jin army and Yan Xishan's character of refusing to let go of Shanxi, he would be able to fight the Japanese army to the death. As long as his own troops arrived, Okamura Neji would have no choice but to retreat in panic.

Not to mention anything else, Feng Jiwu's more than 80,000 troops alone were enough for Okamura Neji to drink a pot. However, neither Okamura Neji nor Yan Xishan expected that they would sit back and watch the fall of Shanxi instead of

Lend a helping hand and look across China to see who knows this dirty trick.

Playing the trick realistically, he ordered the communications department to cut off all contact with the Nanjing National Military Commission and Yan Xishan's Jin army, shut down all radio stations in the division headquarters, and answer all questions afterward, saying that the division commander was on the march. For the sake of confidentiality and safety,

Implement radio silence.

Thinking of Yan Xishan who was desperately trying to attack Zhangjiakou, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but laugh. This man should be regarded as a typical person who is greedy for petty gains and suffers big losses. For the sake of Zhangjiakou, he almost depleted all the troops defending Wuxiang. He didn't know that Yan Xishan was trying his best to attack Zhangjiakou.

Neiji Murura is a cannibal

Are you a wolf? When the Japanese troops came to Taiyuan City, what was Commander Yan's expression like? He must have desperately asked for help. Also, he had to inform the commanders of each corps. Don't think that he was still in the Taihang Mountains.

The master made everyone panic.

All the arrangements were carried out according to his own intention. The unsteady feeling in Tang Qiuli's heart not only did not disappear, but became stronger. He turned his eyes to the map on the wall. Suddenly, his scalp tightened and his butt burned.

Like jumping up, a big omission that would make him regret for the rest of his life, Ding Bian

After Okamura Neiji captures Taiyuan and even the whole of Shanxi, he will never be limited to Shanxi. With Okamura Neiji's experienced military experience, he will never let go of Shaanxi. After taking Xi'an, he can also attack Henan.

Or Hubei. What's worse is that there are almost no regular troops in Shaanxi. Yuan Jinghao's

The Shaanxi local police force and Sun Zhenbang's Yellow River defense force have all been mobilized by him. There are no troops to defend the Yellow River as far away as Henan and the Taihang Mountains, from the meander to Fenglingdu, along the Yellow River that stretches for thousands of miles. Okamura Neji can go anywhere.

Cross the river at one point and attack, if you lose the fixed edge, you may jump into the Yellow River.

Tang Qiuli broke out in a cold sweat. Mei Xue, who was gently rubbing his shoulders, was startled by his abnormal behavior. "Xiaoxue, quickly record that there is no one else in the command. The two of them are affectionate and affectionate, and everyone else knows it."

Tang Qiuli could only avoid it, but shouted to Mei Xue. Mei Xue realized that there must be something serious and immediately changed her role to that of a subordinate.

"Order, Sun Zhenbang Corps, the original mission is cancelled. Immediately rush to the important crossings of the Yellow River as quickly as possible to set up defenses. They are not allowed to entangle with the Japanese troops along the way. They are ordered to arrive at the designated location within three days." Mei Xue's figure flashed and disappeared in Tang Qiu

In Li's field of vision, this girl knew the seriousness of the situation, and you could feel it just from his face.

Tang Qiuli felt weak all over and wiped the sweat from his forehead. **Dingbian is the only important strategic rear of the army. I am afraid that it has long fallen into the eyes of Okamura Neji. Who dares to say his other purpose in attacking Shanxi?

It's not that he occupied Dingbian, but based on the force he used against Huangyadong, Dingbian didn't let this old Japanese fight for his life. It's so dangerous. God is wise and bless the Jin army on the front line of Wuxiang to withstand the Japanese army.

a few days.

Thinking about it, he still felt uneasy. With Sun Zhenbang's more than 50,000 troops defending the long Yellow River defense line, there was a serious shortage of troops. Tang Qiuli rushed to the communications office and asked Liu Hanzhang, chairman of the military and political committee of the border special economic zone, and Bai Chucai, commander of the garrison headquarters.

Send a telegram and immediately summon reserve personnel in Dingbian to form a Yellow River defense force.

The telegram was sent, and before Tang Qiuli's eyes, locust-like Japanese soldiers seemed to appear, rushing across the Yellow River and spreading throughout Shaanxi. The high-rise buildings in Dingbian were reduced to ashes in the fire.

Rivers of blood flowed from the soldiers' guns, and corpses lay everywhere. After the war, in Dingbian, hungry people cried, and the land was covered with rubble and ruins.

"Huzi Huzi" Tang Qiuli shouted loudly. Shanhu ran in and looked at Tang Qiuli in surprise as if he had just crawled out of the desert. "Huzi, gather the guard team immediately and return to Dingbian.

The division personnel followed. "Although Shan Hu didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to return to Dingbian, he got a hint from Tang Qiuli's face and immediately agreed and ran out to make arrangements.

Tang Qiuli had to rush back to Dingbian himself to organize such a large number of reserve soldiers to go to the front line. No one was qualified for this job. Otherwise, Neji Okamura would be given a living target in vain, and the Yellow River defense line would not be able to be maintained.

At once

While Yan Xishan was having a great time fighting in Zhangjiakou, Okamura Neji was about to take action in Wuxiang, and at the critical moment when the Kwantung Army's southbound troops had already assembled in Liaoyang, Tang Qiuli took the road to Zhengzhou and rushed like a raging fire.

Return to Dingbian.
