Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 73 Things can happen again and again

Two or thirty miles ahead after passing Hongshilizi, the terrain turned flat, with mostly gentle hills on both sides and dense pine forests. There was no danger to defend. Shan Hu and Zheng Yong were full of doubts. What is the commander doing?

With such a small number of people, are they crazy for thinking about attacking the main force of the Japanese?

Tang Qiuli had his own ideas. The Japs came in a hurry, and the cavalry in front did not send back any news. The Japs commander was not a fool. He should have realized that something was wrong and would definitely step up his guard. The dangerous areas along the way must be the focus of precautions.

The danger of setting up an ambush for the troops can be imagined, so he left Hongshilizi and headed in the direction of the Japanese, looking for suitable battlefields along the way. He did not want to miss any opportunity to attack the Japanese.

According to the routine, the army has fought two battles in a row. As the saying goes, "strength in one go, then weakens again, and then exhausts three times." It is safest to break away from the battle and carry out repairs. However, Tang Qiuli wanted to break the routine. According to his words, "Routine

It should be broken, and authority is meant to be defeated." He wanted to beat the Japanese three times in one day at places they didn't expect. This was a very bold move, but most people were not so arrogant!

Arrogance has the capital of arrogance. The two battles fought by the army were ambush battles and clever battles. Their own strength was not consumed. Moreover, the current morale is strong. It would be a pity not to fight the Japanese again. The main force and supplies

, the equipment has been withdrawn, I am using my hands and feet lightly, and all my time and the enemy will be wasted.

He also had a deeper consideration, which was to attract the Japs' attention to the opposite direction of the main force's retreat and gain a relatively stable environment for the troops to reorganize. Otherwise, the Japs, who were furious, would suffer such a big loss.

Can he just let it go? Why not bite him like a mad dog in the nearby area? The people are going to suffer again, and he doesn't want the tragedy of Weijia Wopu to happen again! It's best to draw the Japs' attention to the deep mountains and old forests.

While the troops were advancing rapidly, they contacted the lurking outposts monitoring the Japs. When they learned that the Japs' leading troops were less than ten miles away from them, he led the troops off the main road and into the dense forest on the side.

There is an open land in front of it, and the highlands on both sides are not even hills, at most they are mounds. But Tang Qiuli chose this ambush position. Mountain tigers are not that big of a deal. Anyway, everything Xiaoqiu did was right.

.

But Zheng Yong is different. He is an old man who has been beaten repeatedly on the battlefield. He can see the problem at a glance. Zheng Yong does not dare to show any disrespect to this commander who is more than ten years younger than him. His commanding ability and his command of the battlefield are not the same.

His control is there! As for the first two battles, not everyone can fight them.

Therefore, he carefully reminded Tang Qiuli, "Commander, this terrain is difficult to defend and easy to attack. It is more conducive for the attacking troops to launch heavy firepower, which is extremely detrimental to the defenders. Should you consider changing the location?" The words were euphemistic, but the meaning was clear.

, setting up an ambush here is terrible!

Tang Qiuli smiled secretly, "Who said we have to defend here?" Facing Zheng Yong's puzzled gaze, he ordered: "The deployment is as follows, the infantry squadron, the forefront is hidden, the light and heavy machine guns have finished one magazine, and the rifles

The hand throws three grenades and must withdraw from the battle; mortar

The detachment set up a position behind the infantry squadron, lined up in the word "one". After the infantry fired, and when they evacuated the battlefield, they covered the infantry squadron's withdrawal from the battle. Each gun was only allowed to fire three rounds, and then immediately withdrew from the battle and went deep into the dense forest.

They are moved from place to place, and each department is not allowed to fight."

After arranging things, he told Zheng Yong and the infantry squadron leader that we adopted the tactic of an eagle grabbing a chicken in its mouth. We would take one bite and leave. By the time the Japanese reacted, we would have already gone into the forest. We must be careful.

Never be too eager to fight, the enemy's reaction speed is not slow!

Tang Qiuli, who came from a later generation, had long been familiar with the great man's guerrilla tactics. He wanted to use mortars to fight guerrillas. After hearing the commander's explanation, the two of them suddenly realized that Le Dian Dian'er's arrangement was there.

The Japanese commander, Tanaka, was careful along the way. On the radio, Okazaki told him that he was ambushed in a dangerous area. The commander must pay attention. Therefore, every time the troops go to dangerous areas, they must bombard them with artillery.

, and then sent a small force to search. After confirming safety, the large force passed quickly, but the marching speed was too slow.

Originally, according to Tanaka's idea, he had a field regiment with heavy troops, equipped with tanks, and field artillery, which could drive straight in and provide quick rescue. However, Okazaki's experience reminded him that Okazaki-kun's military strength and firepower are not much weaker than his own. Now he is still being used.

He was beaten to a bloody head and screamed for help. How many people must be in the squadron surrounding him? It’s better to be careful.

What kind of work does the cavalry brigade do? There is no news about it. "Baga" is really disgusting.

It was a scary journey, but nothing happened! We were finally close to the target. After crossing the flat road in front of us, we could meet up with Okazaki-kun. Tanaka breathed a sigh of relief. Not only did he think this way, but also those under him

Soldiers, I have the same idea. Let's go to this pass together.

Teng, someone who climbs high and steep, then rushes on again, grabbing toads in his trouser pockets (in Northeastern dialect, it means sweating profusely), as tired as a bear, the mountain roads in Manchuria are really not meant for people to walk on, you are right, the Chinese

This ground is not where you beasts should have come!

The Japanese marching team changed from full alert to normal marching status. The guns in their hands were also carried on their shoulders. This section of the road was very safe!

Who says that a safe road section is safe?

In the pine forest on one side of the mountain road, on the deserted snow, a dense rain of bullets suddenly poured out. It was a salvo of hundreds of light and heavy machine guns. Like red-hot iron bars passing through butter, the Japanese fell down one after another.

, some were hit by heavy machine guns and flew backwards. The marching sequence was immediately disrupted. The Japanese who were not dead immediately fell down on the spot. Their reaction speed was quite fast. Is it safe to lie down? Not necessarily!

I don't know how many grenades were smashed down again, and some even exploded in the air, sending whizzing shrapnel flying in all directions. Some of the unlucky Japanese were hit by several grenades, and their bones were gone at that time, reduced to their molecular state.

After the grenade passed, the gunshots stopped. Just as the Japs were about to get up from the ground, a strange roar sounded in the sky. The faces of experienced Japs veterans turned pale. It was the sound of countless mortar shells hitting their heads. Immediately on the mountain road

Shrouded in the thick smoke of the violent explosion, hundreds of mortar shells were fired from the head of the Japanese team to the team

Wei Yi treated everyone equally and took care of them evenly. Tang Qiuli's front-line tactics were very effective, covering the entire marching formation of the Japs within the coverage of fire. The Japs who had just been organized became chaotic again. Hurry and hide.

It's important to save your life, the Chinese artillery fire is too fierce, that thing is unreasonable!

The little Japanese woke up. The imperial army also had artillery and machine guns. They quickly fired back. The Japanese set up the cannons and fired their guns, and there was a burst of bombardment.

Tang Qiuli led his troops and stood on a hilltop in the distance and looked back. The ambush site just now was completely enveloped by the Japanese firepower. There were rumbling cannons, clouds of smoke, flashing fire, and explosions everywhere.

The soldiers were sticking their tongues out, so worried. If they had been greedy just now and wanted to take advantage, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to withdraw now. The firepower of the little devils is stronger than ours, and the large-caliber field artillery is more powerful than mortars.

Much more powerful!

Zheng Yong rubbed his hands in excitement, it was an eye-opener! Can an artillery battle still be fought like this? It was so satisfying to take advantage of it. I originally wanted to grab a piece of meat, but I didn't expect that I even removed the back part. It was a hugely profitable deal.

I have to get it!

Tang Qiuli looked at Zheng Yong who was so excited that he was running around and thought it was quite interesting. Where did he go? He told Zheng Yong that artillery can also have new tactics. In the future, we will be equipped with mountain artillery and field artillery. You guys

The role of the artillery brigade will be greater. After careful consideration, Zheng Yong is convinced. He will make progress by following this little commander and learn new things at any time.

In this battle, the key is to grasp the time, and the suddenness of the firepower comes second. To withdraw from the battle before the Japanese attack back, Zheng Yong completely understood why the commander only allowed three rounds of artillery shells to be fired. He accepted it, and the master is

Master that!

When the troops have gone far away, they can still hear the roar of cannons, so let the little devils do their thing!

Here, after a burst of shelling and gunfire, the opponent's position was about to be overturned. Tanaka commanded his sword in one fell swoop, "Give me the murderous intention!" The Japanese rushed up like a swarm, releasing shell casings, charred soil, and toppled bodies.

The pine tree doesn't even have a single hair on it! "Honey?" Tanaka is so angry

, received a nasty beating, lost the lives of six to seven hundred soldiers, and didn’t even know who his opponent was. He was a coward! Disgraced! Anyway, he felt everything, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. He pointed his command knife at a pine tree.

They were slashing wildly, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't the captain going crazy?

At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, Tang Qiuli led his troops to meet up with Liu Tiehan, Feng Jiwu, and Qiuquan. These people were all awake and were waiting anxiously for them. When they saw that they had returned safely, they all put down their bags and took Lao Gao with them.

Heartbroken, everyone surrounded Tang Qiuli and entered the headquarters.

When he arrived at the house, Tang Qiuli simply ate something and then fell on the hot stove. He left the army to the chief of staff and the others. After a day and a night, he was exhausted, and his tired eyelids kept fighting.

, leaving the excited Zheng Yong, narrating the battle process vividly and emotionally. Everyone was amazed and applauded. Listening to everyone's excited talk, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

How could the remaining commanders at all levels sleep? They fought three battles and three victories in one day, with more than 2,400 troops, and at a small cost, more than 6,000 Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated, and supplies and countless ammunition were seized.

Such a huge victory has never been seen on the surface of Guandong. Is the commander afraid that Sun Wu is reincarnated and Zhuge is reborn? At such a young age, no one can surpass him in his literary and military skills.

If we say that when the army was first raised, many veterans recognized Tang Qiuli's status as the founder. Now through continuous victories, Tang Qiuli has firmly established his supreme status and absolute authority in this army. Everyone sighs with emotion.

, we were talking about it, but the protagonist of our topic, with the naivety of a big child, fell asleep sweetly, dreaming of meeting Duke Zhou!

The sound of the soldiers practicing woke Tang Qiuli up from his sweet sleep. When he opened his eyes, the sun was shining brightly outside, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the window paper into the room. The room was filled with warm orange-red color and a lazy atmosphere.

I don't want to leave the warm kang, and I can't even get up. I'm hungry, and my stomach keeps growling.

Tang Qiuli looked up and saw a square table on the ground. Battelle looked at him with big black eyes. Seeing that he was awake, he came over and said, "Brother, are you awake? Are you hungry?" In the entire army, he was the only one who always took care of Tang Qiu.

Li calls him eldest brother and refuses to change his tune no matter what. Others, including Shan Hu, call him commander. There is nothing he can do.

Fa, this Mongolian was so stubborn that no one could stop him, so everyone just let him go. According to Battelle, he was just such a relative in the world, so the commander seemed aloof and lacked brotherly love.

Well, Tang Qiuli loved this younger brother from the bottom of his heart and was happy to be called him like that. He was the only one in the army!

While Tang Qiuli was washing up, Battelle was busy going out. After a while, he walked in with a big plate. Tang Qiuli looked at it, wow, his mouth watered down at that moment. A big bowl of boiled food was golden and sticky.

Millet porridge, a few exquisite corn flour steamed buns, a few pickles, and a plate of sauced roe deer meat that he especially liked. He had a great appetite and wolfed it down.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Battle said proudly from the side: "Brother, I specially asked the landlady for the sauced roe deer meat. I know you are proud of this bite. Is it delicious?" Tang Qiuli stuffed his mouth with food.

When Na Dao spoke with great skill, he just nodded repeatedly. Seeing his elder brother like this, Battle smiled with satisfaction.

Tang Qiuli suddenly remembered something, swallowed a mouthful of meat, and asked: "Brother, do you insist on this meat?" Battelle quickly shook his head, he bought it from the landlady, and he left a piece of ocean.

It was his subsidy that made Tang Qiuli feel relieved and started working hard again.

In fact, Tang Qiuli was afraid that Battle would violate mass discipline and he would be uneasy if he was punished. The younger brother was doing it for himself.

After eating, he took Battelle to the street. The hidden and renovated station of the troops was a small village with only a few dozen households. It looked like a typical mountain village in Guandong, with mountains behind it and the only mountain road leading into the distance. He

Secretly nodding, Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu are indeed veterans. The place they chose is very safe. In an emergency, a machine gun can block the road into the village. Once the troops drill into the mountains, it will be the dragon returning to the sea and the tiger advancing.

Mountain forest.

The village was too small to accommodate thousands of troops, so most of the soldiers had to camp outside the village. Fortunately, there were several natural caves, there was no shortage of wood, and they did not suffer any hardships.

He walked around the village. The troops were carrying out normal training. The soldiers were in high spirits. When they saw the commander coming, they all gathered around and asked when they would fight a big battle like the two days ago.

The battle was won, and the morale of the troops made him very happy. Commanders at all levels performed their duties well, and there was nothing for him to worry about.

When people are in a good mood, they tend to be leisurely. But when he met Li Honggang, he made a joke to Li Honggang, "Captain Li, are there any local tyrants or landlords in this village who want to be defeated?" This made Li Honggang feel very embarrassed.

With a half-red face, he sneered and hurried away.

Returning to the headquarters, he called Qiuquan and arranged for the special operations brigade to set off immediately to collect information on the surrounding Japs, activate various intelligence stations, and collect all-round information on the Japs' current movements.

Also, look for the whereabouts of the First Resistance Army and contact them as soon as possible.

He also asked the radio station to contact the intelligence and security department of the base. Qiu Sheng reported an important situation. After the Japanese suffered such a big loss, the matter had alerted the Kwantung Army's highest headquarters, which sent a large number of planes to search for members of the Blood Hand Regiment in the Changbai Mountain area.

Whereabouts, we must destroy this bandit armed force that affects the security and stability of southern Manchuria.

Qiu Sheng also told him that the base was very safe and stable, and the Japs' attention was drawn to the East Road in South Manchuria.

After listening to Qiusheng's report, Tang Qiuli jumped. How could he have ignored the Japanese plane? He quickly called Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu to inquire about the situation. They told him that a Japanese plane had left the army station this morning.

Flying over, because the troops were wearing winter snow combat uniforms, the concealment effect was excellent. Although the Japanese planes did not detect anything, it also aroused their vigilance. The troops had been arranged to pay attention to air defense and light control at night.

Tang Qiuli felt relieved, and was very grateful to have chosen these two as his deputies and chief of staff. Many important things had been thought of before him.

The days slipped away quietly in a stable, tense and orderly manner.

That afternoon, intelligence came from Qiuquan that the Japanese field divisions stationed in Tonghua City had already gone out in full force to search for the whereabouts of the troops. One of the brigade had already entered the mountain village 80 kilometers due north of the army station.

All Shao Benliang's troops, including the First Regiment, the Third Regiment, the Fifth Regiment, and the Forest Team, have also left their home base of Miurahara and entered the Changbai Mountain area, specifically to deal with the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Bloody Hand Regiment.

Also, we have contacted the Third Division of the Anti-Alliance First Army. The troops are fighting with the ground in the Mengjiang area. Because a few days ago, the Blood Hand Regiment dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese pursuit force, which was the strongest among them, and the Anti-Union Army was in a serious situation.

For betterment.

After listening to Qiuquan's intelligence, Tang Qiuli felt that the enemy situation around him was serious. The enemy could be said to be pressing down on the territory with a large number of soldiers, and his strength was dozens of times greater than his own. He had to unite with the Anti-Japanese Alliance to fight together, otherwise, he would be in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese and Shao Benliang.

He immediately telegraphed Qiuquan and told the anti-Japanese leaders that he would personally visit the Mengjiang area in the near future to discuss cooperation in the anti-Japanese war.
