Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 707: A show of force

Tang Qiuli received two pieces of good news in Zhengzhou. The Battle of Taiyuan, which lasted three days, has ended. In this battle, more than 80,000 Japanese troops in Taiyuan were wiped out. All Japanese troops in Shanxi were wiped out. In order to achieve his goal, Neji Okamura

purpose, ultimately lost

After losing all the mobility of the Japanese army in North China for more than a month, Tang Qiuli worked hard, made careful arrangements, and took great risks. Finally, he got the result he wanted. Shanxi was officially placed under the control of the Japanese Army.

territory.(_--)

This was a battle of strategic significance. Among the three parties competing for Shanxi, Yan Xishan, who was deeply entrenched, withdrew sadly. The remaining defeated soldiers settled in Dingbian. The aggressive Okamura Neiji was defeated and died, burying 320,000 elite troops.

, only Tang Qiuli had the last laugh. Although he also suffered certain losses, the losses were negligible compared with what he gained. At this point, all the provinces along the Yellow River Basin were placed under Tang Qiuli's jurisdiction.

.

Its greatest significance is that the Japanese army in North China is already at a disadvantage in terms of total strength. The Japanese division can extend the front to the Pingjin area, and the strategic space has been greatly expanded. Shanxi's natural resources and the strong engineering laid during the Yan Xishan era

The industrial foundation was used for his own use, and all regions formed an organic whole. The stumbling block of Yan Xishan was removed. Wherever the army went, military orders and government orders were all unimpeded. Tang Qiuli had the feeling of pulling out his throat.

Smooth feeling on the hard thorn.

For this reason, Tang Qiuli issued a special commendation order in recognition of the frontline troops in Taiyuan, "I am pleased to hear that Taiyuan was captured and more than 80,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. At this point, the Japanese army's mobility in North China was completely lost. The base area in the Taihang Mountains was liberated in one battle."

It is of great significance and is very gratifying. I hereby issue an order to the whole army to reward all the troops participating in the battle on the Taiyuan front line."

The two veteran generals Jiang Baili and Feng Zhi'an were very happy when they received the commendation order. It was not because of how brilliant the battle was or what was outstanding about them. In their sixties, there were still soldiers who went into battle.

Opportunity to annihilate Japanese pirates, no reward can replace this. How many times in life can we have such an opportunity.

After conveying the commendation order from the division commander Tang Qiuli to all the troops, the two returned to the headquarters, kicked out all the staff officers and correspondents, cooked several exquisite dishes, and specially called the commander Tang Qiuli, who had been depressed since he left.

Mei Ting, who was unhappy, drank and talked happily. During the dinner, she was filled with emotion.

, Only a talented and strategic person like the division commander can make such a big move to create a new situation in North China. Only then can we two old guys have the opportunity to lead troops to fight. Mei Ting was diligent in persuading people to drink, listening to the respected old general praising her beloved man, feeling depressed.

The mood is also much clearer.

After the Taiyuan frontline troops rested for three days, the troops returned to their organizational structure and divided into two groups. They immediately marched eastward to the Pingjin area. Feng Jiwu led the Niangziguan garrison and six newly formed field brigades, and immediately left the Pingjin battlefield and passed through the Pingjin corridor.

, inserted directly into the front line of Shanhaiguan in the eastern Hebei region, preparing to meet the Kwantung Army's troops moving south by land, Sun Zhenbang's regiment immediately moved eastward.

Chang Feng, chief of staff of the **Division, led the Taihang Mountain Field Corps and Sun Zhenbang's Yellow River Defense Corps, and quickly entered the Pingjin area, forming a trend of encirclement of Tianjin and Peiping. At this point, all the troops of the **Division, except those in Shandong,

Liu Tiehan's East Command Troops, Li Honggang's Twenty-nine

Except for Han Tie's Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps, all the troops are concentrated in the Pingjin area. His strategic intention is very obvious. He is not prepared to let go of the more than 400,000 Japanese troops in Cangzhou and cut off the possibility of the Japanese troops withdrawing to the north and northeast.

The retreat route was to completely wipe out the last heavy Japanese army group in North China in Cangzhou.

Another good news is that the Kwantung Army's southward troops, which had been exhausted from fighting Tang Qiusheng's Corps, were surrounded by Xiongxian, Renqiu, and Hejian after Feng Jiwu's and Changfeng's Corps joined the battlefield. After five days,

Fight hard, annihilate

This Japanese army was also caused by the arrogance of the generals of the Kwantung Army. After being trapped in a tight siege, they neither moved closer to the Japanese army in Cangzhou nor retreated to the northeast while their retreat was not cut off. They then fought against the main force of the Japanese Division, which had more than twice their strength.

Fight hard.

In the minds of the generals of the Kwantung Army's troops marching south, all China's armies were as vulnerable as the Northeast Army during the September 18th Incident. A large group of Japanese troops defeated a division of the Northeast Army and was still alive today.

It is also talked about by all the officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army. There is no reason why this kind of glory cannot be repeated in North China.

Arrogant and underestimating the enemy, arrogant and arrogant, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps and their inextricable fights along the way did not wake up the Kwantung Army's southward troops. After reoccupying Tianjin, only a small number of troops were left to defend the huge Tianjin.

The imperial guards used all their strength to attack Shanxi. These warriors of the Yamato nation took it for granted that wherever the imperial army's flag went, they were invincible and invincible.

After leaving Tianjin, this group of mad dogs encountered a tenacious blockade by the Sulu Mobile Corps in the Xiongxian, Renqiu, and Hejian areas. They were hit hard, but they still did not wake up and attacked frantically. Of course, Tang Qiusheng went south to the Kwantung Army.

force

This kind of fighting style was highly desirable. Although the blocking troops fought very hard, he was still very happy to use superior artillery fire and rely on field fortifications to inflict maximum damage on these arrogant little devils in the wild.

In the later period, when Chang Feng's Taihang Mountain Field Corps and Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, with more than 100,000 troops, massacred Xiangxian County, Renqiu, and Hejian areas, the commander of the Kwantung Army's southward troops realized

The situation is not good. Unfortunately, it is too late to even evacuate the battlefield.

Unable to do so, Tang Qiusheng's regiment tightly entangled them, with more than 200,000 troops, encircling the Kwantung Army that had lost nearly half of its troops. There was no great suspense in the battle. The Kwantung Army that went south finally paid for their arrogance.

The price that should be paid is that the whole army will be wiped out and no one will survive.

When Tang Qiuli saw Tang Qiusheng's war report from the Pingjin front line, he was already on the plane to Nanjing. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang personally led the team, and twenty-two fighter jets formed an escort group. Tang Qiuli did not expect that

, Le Yiqin will come up with such a big lineup, it can be said to be a super luxurious lineup, I can't blame him for making a fuss.

But Ke Ke Yiqin doesn't think so. The whole world has been clamored about the division commander's trip to Nanjing. The Japanese are not deaf. If they can get the news, the air force has just killed Okamura Neiji. There is no guarantee that the Japanese will not do it.

, aerial ambush, if something unexpected happened to the teacher, even if he and Liu Cuigang had a hundred heads, they wouldn't be enough to kill them. There was no big mistake in being careful. Therefore, despite the teacher's reproach, Le Yiqin still followed his plan.

Le Yiqin did not dare to relax at all while flying the fighter plane. He extended the air warning range to hundreds of kilometers away. Once the Japanese fighter group was discovered, he would have enough time to cover the division commander's plane out of danger.

Tang Qiuli, who was sitting peacefully and gently holding Mei Xue's waist, didn't know what Le Yiqin was thinking.

He was thinking about another problem. The Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army", was not as elite, brave and good at fighting as history said. It was not even as good as the Japanese troops on other battlefields in China. Because the Kwantung Army

The troops have always been stationed in the Northeast. Without opponents who can match him for many years of fighting, there is no combat experience. He has developed an arrogant mentality from top to bottom. Once he faces a real opponent, failure is inevitable.

.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the historical phenomenon that in August 1945, the Soviet Red Army sent troops to the Northeast. In a few days, it swept across the Northeast where the Kwantung Army had been operating for decades.

With this thought, the slightest fear of the Kwantung Army disappeared, and the determination to regain the Northeast was strengthened.

The lush green land of Jiangnan passes under the wing of the aircraft. Lakes and puddles dotted here and there reflect the sunlight, like mirrors scattered on the misty Jiangnan land. The Yangtze River appears in the field of vision like a flowing river of light. Mei Xue

He seemed very excited. Since he left his hometown and came to Dingbian, this was the first time he returned to his familiar hometown. The beauty in his memory instantly transformed into moving pictures in his mind.

Like an innocent little girl, Mei Xue lay half of her body on Tang Qiuli's lap, lying by the porthole, greedily looking at the scenery under the wing. Although Dingbian is a big city, the climate is not as warm as that of Jiangnan.

The round breasts naturally formed a graceful curve. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be greedy.

Greedy caressing, the plane suddenly jolted, and Mei Xue fell into Tang Qiuli's arms. Although the relationship had been established, Mei Xue could not help but blush in front of the other people in the cabin, and buried her head in his

In his generous embrace, Tang Qiuli didn't care. Sooner or later, he would be his own, so why should he be afraid?

The journey was uneventful. The fleet of planes circled over the Nanjing Airport and landed one after another. This formation alone was enough to make the citizens of the Shoushan District talk about it for days. It made the dignitaries in Nanjing and the big guys in the military and political circles jealous, and they didn't know how to provoke them again.

There were so many disturbances and gossips.

When Tang Qiuli stepped out of the cabin, a large number of reporters who had been waiting for him swarmed in and surrounded him. This situation shocked him. However, he also carefully observed that, unlike the previous few times he went to Nanjing,

The difference was that no official from the government or the Military Commission came to greet him, and even Yang Yongtai, who he could not say he disliked, but still liked, did not show up. Was this a threat to himself, or was Chairman Chiang ordering him to deliberately indifference him?

Before he could come to his senses, a rather capable young reporter in a suit and leather shoes squeezed into the crowd and asked first: "Vice Chairman Tang, I am a reporter from the Nanjing Evening News. I want to ask you a question. The Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Shanxi.

Where were you at that time? Commander Yan Xishan's troops were defending Taiyuan.

Where were your troops when there was no food and no reinforcements, and they were forced to abandon Taiyuan after suffering heavy losses? As the top military commander of the Yellow River Basin War Zone, what responsibility should you bear for the fall of Shanxi? Please give a clear answer

"After asking, the reporter's eyes flashed with pride.
