Age of Conquest Reborn

On the first day of the Nanning Defense War, they fell into a fierce fighting. The Gui Army troops surrounding the defense line paid a great price and repelled five Japanese division-sized attacks. On this day, the defending Gui Army troops

The troops have tried their best, but are at a slight disadvantage.

Tang Qiuli could only wait for Bai Chongxi's telegram. At this time, intervening in Nanning's battle decision-making would have no effect at all. Instead, it would arouse Bai Chongxi's vigilance and dissatisfaction. Even if the ** division troops were deployed on the Nanning battlefield, they would be in conflict with the Gui army.

Let’s fight a defensive battle with huge casualties together

, this is Tang Qiuli's least favorite style of play. Only when Bai Chongxi takes the initiative to send a telegram to him can he be persuaded to give up Nanning. It is not too late to give up at this time. Once the fight reaches a stalemate for a few days, Gui

The possibility of the troops withdrawing is very small. [Search for the latest updates]

Bai Chongxi, the commander-in-chief of Nanning City Defense, spent the whole day in tension. The development of the battle was somewhat beyond his judgment, mainly due to the ferocity of the Japanese artillery fire. This was something he did not expect. Not only him, but everyone

No one expected that the Japanese would use such powerful artillery to attack Nanning.

Bursts of overwhelming artillery fire, and thundering roars were heard almost every once in a while, making this wise general of the Gui Army, known as "Little Zhuge", feel heavy in his heart, with a very bad premonition, and suddenly

Come to mind, the man outside the city

The sound of killings lasted all day, and Bai Chongxi lay uneasily in the headquarters for more than ten hours. Not only were the officers who came to report the situation surprised, but even the staff officers who had been following him were also shocked. When did Mr. Bai do this?

Can't hold back your anger?

After the battlefield finally calmed down, Bai Chongxi quickly grabbed the phone on the table to call the 113th Division, and asked in a confused voice: "Guodong? How is the situation there? Are there many casualties?" Xia Guodong said slightly hoarsely.

The voice replied tiredly: "Report to the chief executive about the situation.

It's not good. I have filled up all my guard battalions. The brothers have suffered a lot. Our division suffered more than 2,000 casualties, mainly due to the enemy's artillery fire. However, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief, the 113th Division

Even if I were left alone, the little devil would have to step on my corpse.

Putting down the phone, Bai Chongxi felt a thump in his heart. It was not a good sign. He knew that Xia Guodong had already made up his mind to die. With Xia Guodong's character, he would not say such words unless he was in danger. Even the division headquarters guard camp

It was used, which means that the 113th Division no longer has a reserve force. On the first day, the number of troops was reduced by more than 40%.

After contacting several other troops, the situation was similar to that of Xia Guodong's 113th Division. The troops defending in the western suburbs had more casualties than half. Bai Chongxi was shocked. Four of them were disabled on the first day.

If the main division continues to be depleted like this, the main force of our Gui army will be filled to the gates of Nanning City.

"Operations Department, is there any report from Luancheng?" Bai Chongxi sat for a while with a gloomy face, and suddenly asked. The combat staff brought a telegram, "Report to the chief, according to the Luancheng garrison guests mixed into the first brigade

, the First Chongzuo Guard Division reported that the fighting was fierce, and the Japanese army

A division of troops violently attacked Luan City. Our troops fought fiercely with the Japanese army until the time of reporting. We repelled seven Japanese attacks. The troops suffered heavy casualties. However, the Japanese artillery fire was extremely fierce and most of the surface fortifications were destroyed. If this continued, Luan City

The city is in danger, President Bai, please send reinforcements as soon as possible."

After reading the telegram, Bai Chongxi felt nervous again. If Luancheng was lost, the Japanese army could circle to the right wing of Nanning and surround Nanning from all sides. On the first day of fighting, the casualties of the troops could no longer be sustained. This was not a good sign.

The importance of Luan Cheng is self-evident. Without Luan Cheng, it will be difficult for the troops to break through.

"Order, Chongzuo Garrison Division 2 to reinforce Luancheng overnight," Bai Chongxi issued the order. Just as the staff officer was about to leave, he called him back, "Wait a minute, tell his division commander that before four o'clock tomorrow morning, he must

When he rushes to Luancheng, if he does not arrive at his destination on time, his division commander will come to see him." Bai Chongxi added these two sentences in particular.

After sending these telegrams, Bai Chongxi sat blankly for a while, and suddenly asked: "Is there any news about Wu Xiaoxian?" "Report to the general officer, since the commander of the Wu regiment set off, there has been no contact, and the radio station has been turned off. It is probably during the march.

In order to avoid exposing the target, radio silence has been adopted. The radio station has been ordered to contact continuously and report immediately if there is any situation." Bai Chongxi suddenly felt a little irritable.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at the map for a while, seeming to be hesitantly weighing one thing. After a while, he said: "Send a copy of today's battle report to Vice Chairman Tang. Be careful to report it truthfully and do not mix in personal judgment.

"Bai Chongxi made a lot of determination and hesitated for a long time. It took courage to send such a telegram to Tang Qiuli.

But after just one day of fighting, the Gui army couldn't bear it anymore? As a general, this is a very shameless thing. If Bai Chongxi didn't smell something non-dangerous, he wouldn't have given Tang Qiu the telegram to leave.

Yes, I felt a little embarrassed now when I rejected people's good intentions and adopted a lukewarm attitude towards Tang Qiuli.

When Tang Qiuli received Bai Chongxi's telegram, he frowned and compared it with the special operations team. He knew that Bai Chongxi was telling the truth. The Nanning defense war was developing according to his expectations. It was a big hole that could not be added.

The day when the main force of the Gui army was exhausted,

Even when the city of Nanning was broken, the Japanese made such a big move and refused to stop until they moved south to Nanning. What made him feel extremely uneasy was that the Japanese army's artillery fire was several times more than the conventional equipment. This also shows that Masaharu Honma was very worried about the enemy.

Nanning has been prepared for a long time and is determined to win.

Bai Chongxi took the initiative to send himself a telegram to introduce the battle situation, indicating that he had realized the danger of the Nanning Defense War and seemed to want to retreat, especially the large number of Japanese artillery units, which should be beyond his imagination. There was some hesitation in the telegram. After all,

On the first day of the war, he was beaten to the point of being restless and uncertain, and his reputation as "Little Zhuge's" was insulted. This was because he was undecided, so he asked himself to help him make up his mind.

In this case, don't let down the good intentions of Qu Chongxi, which led to the cancellation of the Nanning defense plan by the Guangxi army.

The casualties suffered by the army are unimaginable. If a few days pass, will the general still have usable troops? There is no contest between the enemy being strong and the enemy being weak.

In fact, why is the general so obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place? I personally believe that Nanning City can be abandoned immediately. After the Japanese army divides its forces to pursue them, they can attack them from one or two lines. If the arrangement is proper, there will be a chance of total annihilation.

, General, please think carefully, seize the opportunity, and make an immediate decision, so that the loss of the troops can be reduced to the minimum."

After the telegram was sent, Tang Qiuli had no confidence in his heart. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi planned the multi-day defense battle of Nanning. They had both the responsibility of defending the territory and political considerations. They gave up on Nanning easily and couldn't change their minds.

More importantly, Bai Chongxi felt that he still had enough capital in his hand to deal with the Japanese army for a few days, so it would be difficult to give up immediately.

"Chen Feng, immediately send a telegram to Le Yiqin and order the aviation unit to send six bomber squadrons to bomb the Japanese positions outside Nanning at 730 tomorrow morning." Since Bai Chongxi has little chance of withdrawing his troops, he can only fly in the air

He gave him some support, hoping to help the Gui army. Once Bai Chongxi accepted his suggestion, the Gui army withdrew from Nanning and also acted as air cover to prevent its pursuit.

Tang Qiuli was disappointed. By the next morning, when there was no reply from Bai Chongxi, he gave up completely. On this day, the sun had just risen. Masaharu Honma invested a large number of troops to launch a large-scale attack on the outskirts of Nanning. After

In yesterday's day of fighting, with the lives of more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers, Honma Masaharu had basically figured out the Gui army's firepower deployment and troop allocation. Now that he knew his opponent's trump card, he no longer had the patience to waste time with the Gui army.

In order to complete his achievements in one battle, Honma Masaharu took out his trump card, a tank regiment. At the same time, he also asked General Touichi Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Force, to send planes to bomb the Gui Army positions. Even at the early morning military meeting, Honma Masaharu

Jian Yaqing has already made arrangements for the selection of the Nanning occupation force and commander. His Excellency Lieutenant General's current thinking has left the Nanning battlefield and set his sights in the direction of Chongqing.

The senior officers who attended the meeting don't know where the commander's confidence comes from. It seems that the Japanese Imperial Army did not take much advantage in yesterday's battle, right? More than 4,000 heroic Imperial Army soldiers were crushed to pieces, and China and Guangxi

The Japanese army's positions were not occupied at all, and they began to make arrangements to enter the city today, which greatly puzzled these senior Japanese generals.

Masaharu Honma could see the doubts and even the disapproval expressions of the generals. Knowing that these guys didn't understand and didn't believe it, he was surprised to see how these people climbed to the position of senior commanders. He smiled confidently and said,

Said: "I don't know if you guys have seen it, but when our imperial warriors charged, China and Guangxi

The gunfire of the army's counterattack was not dense enough, and there were not even heavy machine guns. What does this mean? Our artillery has basically destroyed the firepower points and bunkers at the front of the Guangxi Army's positions. This is the basis for victory. In addition, the tanks

With cover and the assistance of dispatched military air force aircraft, Nanning was captured effortlessly."

"Originally, I planned to use a week to consume the strength of the Guangxi Army and reduce the casualties of the soldiers. However, now I can't wait to leave. I have just received an order from the Commander-in-Chief. After capturing Nanning, I must pursue the retreating Guangxi Army.

Army soldiers, and then divided the troops to occupy the entire province of Guangxi, while the main force went north to attack Chongqing."

After Honma Masaharu finished speaking, the generals, whether they were attracted by his commanding skills or thought this guy was talking nonsense, immediately applauded. No matter what, our superiors ordered us to charge forward. Taking Nanning would be beneficial to everyone. We will return immediately.

Go to the troops to organize an attack.
