Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, commander of the Nanning Campaign of Japan's Southern China Expeditionary Force, carefully planned a three-dimensional air-ground attack with infantry, tanks and aircraft. Just when they were about to make a breakthrough, they were smashed to pieces by Liu Cuigang's fleet of aircraft that descended from the sky.

The tank regiment was completely wiped out.

The artillery suffered a devastating blow. When the "Buddha's Light" napalm bombs fell from the sky, the fate of the Japanese artillery was already doomed. The Guangxi Army did not have enough artillery, let alone air power. The Japanese artillery position was blatantly located in Nanning.

The suburbs brought great convenience to the bomber group.

The material and supply distribution center was in a mess by fighter jets. When the abominable China plane was about to return, it was still in the hiding place of the infantry. It dropped napalm bombs all over the sky and burned into a sea of ​​​​fire. In the raging flames,

The soldiers of the empire were running and wailing, suffering heavy casualties. There were billowing smoke wrapped in flames everywhere, forming an insurmountable barrier in front of the Gui army's position.

Masaharu Honma no longer knows how he got back to the hiding place, whether he was carried back or carried back. He has no memory at all in his mind. In just over an hour, his troops lost two offensive weapons. One was

Chariot regiment, one is strong

The large artillery unit, all the staff officers and senior staff, all looked at the suddenly old commander with bated breath. No words could comfort such a blow. There was a gloom and mist, coupled with an already numb man.

Masaharu Honma.

A major staff officer from the Operations Department came in at an inappropriate time and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is a detailed list of our soldiers' casualties and material losses. Please take a look at it." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt countless murderous eyes, fierce

Come over here, especially the Chief of Staff of the Third Army. He almost pulls out the command knife from his waist and chops off this guy with no eyes, that pig's head. With your current mental state, Commander, you are deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

Isn’t that right?

The soldiers of the Gui Army on the outer positions of Nanning looked at this dramatic change almost as if they had narrowly escaped death. All the planes had flown away, and the sky became quiet. There were no endless Japanese shells, no rumbling tongues of fire.

The tanks were equipped with groups of howling Japanese soldiers. There were only "beep-beep" burning flames and billowing smoke. The moment you thought you were going to die, you could just get through it so easily?

The soldiers of the Gui Army didn't know why so many planes appeared to help them, but Bai Chongxi in Nanning City knew clearly that Tang Qiuli was the only one who could be so generous and dispatched nearly a hundred planes to help.

, not even Jiang, the chief boss of the Chongqing government. First, he has no such good intentions, and second, he does not have such strength.

The situation in the forward positions was continuously brought to the Nanning City Defense Headquarters. Bai Chongxi felt as if he was in a dream. He thought that today was the day when Nanning City was broken. He was already prepared for street fighting and his retreat had been arranged.

Well, there has been a dramatic change. According to reports from the forward positions, the Japanese will not be able to organize a decent attack for at least two days. Without tanks and artillery, my Gui army will not lose to the Japanese.

"Record, send a telegram to Vice Chairman Tang in Guangzhou, just a few words. Bai Chongxi, on behalf of De Gong and the hundreds of thousands of Gui Army soldiers in Nanning City, would like to thank you for your help at the critical moment, regarding the situation of the Nanning Defense War.

, will report to Vice Chairman Tang at any time, "Bai Chongxi is a smart man. Tang Qiuli's dispatch of planes today is not just as simple as supporting a battle, but to express an attitude. The North China First Division troops have no intention of taking this opportunity."

Encroaching on the land of Guangxi.

We are allied forces, and I, Tang Qiuli, will provide assistance to the Gui army at any time. From this aspect alone, the favor I owe to Tang Qiuli is so great that it cannot be expressed in words. After Bai Chongxi finished dictating, he felt weak and tired.

In just a few hours on the chair, the situation in Nanning had already drained all the energy of the Gui Army's top general, known as "Little Zhuge".

Liu Cuigang led the fleet and returned with satisfaction. After receiving a report of the fleet bombing Nanning, the Hainan Island Air Force Base of Japan's Southern Expeditionary Force was bombed at that time. Like most of the troops of the Southern Expeditionary Force, it was established in Japan and has never been

Having suffered losses from the North China Army Air Force, especially the Army Air Forces, I feel very good about myself. The mentality of the Imperial Japanese Air Eagle being invincible in defeating all over the world is rooted in the heart of every Japanese pilot.

The shrill battle alarm sounded over several Japanese airports on Hainan Island. Groups of Japanese pilots rushed to their planes. Immediately, more than a hundred fighter jets taking off from several airports met over the Beibu Gulf and followed.

Like a group of mad dogs whose eggs had been stepped on, they flew directly north with murderous intent.

It is definitely not okay to let the eagle in the sky of the Empire of Japan suffer such a big loss. As for how the army responds, that is their business. The southern part of Japan dispatched the military air force to avenge a single arrow, and this time they spent a lot of money.

Not only a large number of fighter jets were dispatched, but there was also a commander at the rank of major general of the Army Air Force who served as the air commander of the pursuit fleet, determined to keep Liu Cuigang's fleet in the skies over South China.

The situation was quite unfavorable for Liu Cuigang. The bombers were relatively slow. After the air battle and ground attack just now, the fighter jets had exhausted their ammunition. What was even worse was that the fuel of all the planes was only enough to return home. They could not even maintain it.

Even a small-scale air battle cannot be achieved. The Japanese "Zero" fighter is mediocre in other aspects. It is faster than the Soviet fighter. According to the current return distance, it will be chased by Japanese fighter jets before it reaches the Wuhan base.

Le Yiqin, who was at the Wuhan Aviation Base, immediately reported the situation to Liu Cuigang, "Cui Gang, be careful. You are chasing a group of mad dogs. According to the radar, there are about a hundred of them. The little devil is getting anxious."

"That's right, you've taken advantage of me so much, why don't you allow the little devil to take revenge?" Le Yiqin still had time to tease.

"Yiqin, this is to be expected. I have an idea. How about having a good fight with the Japs in the Hunan airspace, leaving all their fighter jets behind, and saving you the irritation of buzzing all day long? How about?

Has the accompanying fighter group taken off?" Le Yiqin was dissatisfied and said

"What nonsense? I'll meet you in thirty minutes. Also, I added some information. Instead of ten squadrons, there are eighteen squadrons. How about that?" Le Yiqin said proudly.

Liu Cuigang laughed and said, "You are cruel enough, I'll leave it to you."

A large air battle unfolded over Hunan. The Japanese fighter jets that were chasing fiercely hit the iron plate. The squadron organization of the ** Division's aviation unit was far larger than the conventional organization. Each squadron had eight fighter jets and eighteen

The fighter squadron, with nearly one hundred and thirty fighter jets, surrounded the Japanese fighter jets with a crash.

Regarding this air battle, the Japanese army did not make any announcement after the incident, and the Air Force Division rarely publicized it. They just made good friends with Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang and took something out of their mouths. The Air Force of the Air Force Division

The fighter group lost eleven fighter jets. As for the Japanese army, in Le Yiqin’s words, they kept the Little Japanese aircraft for half a year. Indeed, in several large-scale battles that followed, Japanese aircraft rarely appeared, especially in

There was no shadow in sight over Nanning.

After receiving Bai Chongxi's telegram, Tang Qiuli smiled knowingly. This little Zhuge finally understood his intentions. With the first-hand information he provided on the Nanning battlefield, he could grasp the battlefield situation more clearly. In Tang Qiu

In Li's heart, he still hopes that today's battle on the outskirts of Nanning will teach Bai Chongxi a lesson, make him realize the huge gap in firepower with the Japanese army, and make him want to retreat, no longer persist in the unnecessary defense of Nanning, and will not consume the Gui army troops in

Defend Nanning to the death.

It is a pity that his hope was completely shattered when he received Bai Chongxi's second telegram. Liu Cuigang's fleet killed all the Japanese tanks and most of the Japanese artillery, but gave Bai Chongxi the opportunity to defend Nanning.

"Confidence," Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, a battle this morning

, relying on the ** Division's aerial eagles to show their might and destroy the Japanese tanks and artillery that posed the greatest threat to our Nanning garrison. In view of this, our Guangxi Army troops have adjusted their deployment and are determined to completely bury the Japanese army in the outer positions of Nanning.

Invading our Guangxi troops, detailed battle reports will be provided at any time."

Tang Qiuli shook his head while looking at Bai Chongxi's telegram. Today is the best time for the Guangxi army to evacuate Nanning. The Japanese army has suffered heavy losses and is temporarily unable to pursue them. The loss of hundreds of artillery is nothing. They are guarding the two supply bases of Taiwan and Hainan Island.

, it will take less than five days and can be quickly replenished. By then, Bai Chongxi will not be able to withdraw even if he wants to. Masaharu Honma has suffered such a heavy loss, so he will not vent his anger on the Gui army.

Tang Qiuli could only lament that Bai Chongxi had lost the best opportunity to retreat. By the time he could no longer withstand it, the elite troops of the Gui Army on the Nanning defense line were probably exhausted. Even if they could withdraw, they would still be pursued step by step.

Fate, however, he could not persuade Bai Chongxi to withdraw from Nanning.

The development of the situation was unfortunately predicted by Tang Qiuli. On May 19, the replenished troops of Masaharu Honma launched a new crazy attack on Nanning. This time, Masaharu Honma became extremely crazy and took the troops in his hands.

They all jumped in and carried out an uninterrupted attack on the Gui Army's positions outside Nanning.

By the evening of May 21, all the Gui Army's Nanning peripheral positions were lost. Less than 40,000 troops were withdrawn into the city. Major General Xia Guodong, commander of the 113th Division, was killed. The division fought to the last man and the entire army was wiped out. Twenty

The next day

In the evening, the Japanese army captured Nanning's Xiguan. The Gui army and the Japanese army engaged in fierce street fighting. They failed to stop and retreated step by step. They were compressed to the north of Nanning city and defended on the north bank of Hujiang River. At this point, most of Nanning fell into the hands of the Japanese army and the city of Nanning was about to be destroyed.
