Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 978: The fierce Yamashita Fengwen

Chen Han, the commander of the second brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the ** Division, was ordered to report to the office of the division commander Tang Qiuli. Chen Han was determined to refuse the task at hand. His brigade, but a serious field force, would do this.

The task of guarding the disarmed Cantonese soldiers and interrogating the officers was really difficult, and I couldn't muster up my energy at all. (Baidu search,)

From the bottom of his heart, Chen Han still cherishes this opportunity to be under the direct command of the division commander. There are dozens of brigade commanders in the entire ** division, except for a few lucky ones, who can be under the direct command of the division commander.

If he was fighting on the battlefield with the Japanese army, Chen Han would definitely shout long live, but this time, he didn't feel lucky.

As soon as Chen Han entered Tang Qiuli's office, he immediately accepted the combat mission and said loudly: "Report to the division commander, Chen Han, commander of the second brigade of Niangziguan Garrison Corps, was ordered to come and ask for instructions from the division commander," Tang Qiuli's face showed

A gentle smile appeared on his face. He liked the generals of each army very much and had such a spiritual outlook.

"Commander Chen is here, please take a seat," he greeted. As soon as Chen Han sat down, he hurriedly asked: "Commander, is our brigade going to be reorganized? Commander Feng is really, don't tell me in advance."

," Tang Qiuli looked at Chen Han carefully and noticed that this guy was eager to try, and said: "Chen Han, who said that your brigade is going to be restored?"

Chen Han was stunned and looked at the division commander in confusion. Tang Qiuli continued: "I called you here today because I have a new task. I have decided to let you serve as the garrison commander of Guangdong Province. Your second brigade will withdraw from Niangziguan garrison.

How about changing the battle order of the corps to the local garrison?"

When Chen Han heard this, he became anxious, blushed and said loudly: "Commander, is it our second brigade's combat effectiveness that is not good, or am I, the brigade commander, incompetent? Why did we change from a field force to a local force?" Tang Qiuli did not speak.

, just looking at the furious Chen Han quietly.

Under the gaze of the division commander, Chen Han became timid, but he was still muttering, "Why did a good field brigade become a local army? Why not let Niu Shuangquan's 8th Brigade be reorganized?" Tang Qiu

Li's face turned pale and he said:

"Okay, Chen Han, don't be aggrieved. The Guangdong Provincial Security Commander has a heavy responsibility. He not only has to maintain local security, but also has the task of transforming the 700,000 to 80,000 Guangdong troops. Regardless of your ability, Chen Han, I would have replaced him with someone else.

I’m not worried yet.”

Chen Han knew that this matter could not be pushed back no matter what. He stood up and stood at attention and said loudly: "Yes, commander, I promise to complete the task." Tang Qiuli then said: "In a few months, the capital of Guangdong Province will become the capital of all our troops.

You must manage the rear area well. In addition, I will start from Dingbian

The Military Academy transferred a group of manpower to establish the Guangzhou branch. The school was located at Huangpu Military Academy and vigorously recruited educated young people. In addition, I have given you a secret mission to monitor all movements of the Guangdong Provincial Government. I asked Shen Jun to follow

The Investigation Department will allocate a group of manpower to you, so it will be easier to handle."

After sending Chen Han away, Tang Qiuli fell into deep thought. Although he had control of the power in Guangdong Province, neither the original Chen Jitang's forces nor Yu Hanmou's forces could be eliminated in a short time. These were all unstable factors.

Therefore, the military power in Guangdong Province cannot be handed over to Xiao Hanqian, which is also a restriction.

Thinking of Yu Hanmou, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but think of Liu Xinlan. This shadow was lingering in his heart and mind. He didn't dare to face it and couldn't forget it. Just when Shanhu came in, he asked

Said: "Huzi, how is Miss Liu?"

Shan Hu glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, and said: "As you asked, Miss Liu came to see you early this morning, but my men stopped her because she said Guangzhou is not very safe at the moment.

How about it, see you or not?" Tang Qiuli lowered his head, as if in pain, and said after a long time: "Huzi, go and tell her in person, it would be better not to see her than to see her, I will not see her, from today on,

Her protective measures were revoked."

He sighed again and said: "It's just a dream after all. Why bother asking for trouble? Meeting her caused too many memories and it made me even more painful. In addition, I gave her ten thousand oceans, not to mention it was from me, and

"If she doesn't want to stay in Guangzhou, just introduce her to Dingbian, that's it." Shan Hu thought about it, but there was no good way. To be honest, Shan Hu didn't really want to see Liu Xinlan. The reason was different from Tang Qiuli.

Same, it brings back too many painful memories.

Just before going out, Shan Hu said hesitantly: "Mei Xue came to me just now and asked what happened last night. I didn't tell her about Liu Xinlan." Tang Qiuli did not respond, and his eyes were blurred. Maybe,

After making this decision, there will never be another chance to meet Liu Xinlan in this life, and for Mei Xue, it is okay not to know about this episode.

In the afternoon, Wang Longyun of Yunnan sent an urgent telegram, "Vice Chairman Tang Xunjian, at about 6 a.m. on June 23, the Japanese army with two divisions of about 60,000 troops attacked our troops in the Yunnan-Guangxi border area.

Funing's front line launched a fierce attack

, as of noon today, one brigade of the Funing garrison of our Yunnan Army has been completely wiped out and Funing has been lost. In front of us, the Japanese army is advancing towards Kaihua and Xichou. We sincerely request Vice Chairman Tang to send effective troops into Yunnan Province in order to

Make sure Yunnan is not lost."

Long Yun is very smart and rational. Although he has more than 200,000 troops in his hands, with the weapons, equipment and training level of the Yunnan Army, he has little chance of winning against the more than 60,000 Japanese troops. Furthermore, Long Yun has worked hard to manage Yunnan for many years.

He had accumulated so much wealth, but he didn't want to use it all up in a deadly battle with the Japanese army. If this was the case, Long Yun would have no place to stay in Yunnan, and he would not be driven out by other powerful factions, so he asked Tang

Qiu Li reached out for help.

The Japanese attack route in Yunnan confirmed Tang Qiuli's judgment that they aimed to seize the junction of Yunnan's border with Southeast Asian countries and establish an outpost for attacking Southeast Asia. At this time, it was not the right time to send troops into Yunnan. Moreover, the horizontal

When crossing the Guizhou-Qianchuan River and entering Yunnan, any unit would go deep alone. If the Japanese troops attacking Guizhou turned around and headed south, wouldn't they be surrounded?

Troops will not be sent for the time being, and Long Yun should be reassured, "Chairman Long Xunjian, the Japanese army attacked Yunnan, intending to open up the Yunnan-Myanmar and Yunnan-Vietnam border areas and connect with the mainland. The Yunnan Army troops must not communicate with

The Japanese army is powerful. If the Japanese army invades Kunming from the north, Chairman Long might as well let go

Abandoned and retreated to northern Yunnan to preserve strength. I am mobilizing troops to form an aid force to Yunnan, which involves a lot of manpower and material resources. It will not be possible to form an army in a short period of time. In the meantime, the Yunnan army is safe from fighting the Japanese army. Of course,

, it’s just Tang’s personal suggestion, please consider it, Chairman Long.”

I don’t know what the king of Yunnan thought after seeing Tang Qiuli’s telegram. If he wanted to fight with the Japanese in order to preserve his territory, Tang Qiuli had already done his best. How to do it was up to Long Yun.

own affairs.

On the morning of June 24, Chang Feng sent another telegram, "Commander, it has been found out that those attacking in the direction of Dushan are the 15th Army of the Yamashita Fengwen Department of the Japanese Army, and those attacking in the direction of Ziyun are the Japanese Nanning Front Army.

The second division of Dao Xian, attacking in the direction of Guanling, is the Oshima Imosaburo division of the Japanese Taiwan Front. They have just received information that the Yamashita Fengwen Division has captured Dushan and is currently advancing in the direction of Duyun, Ziyun and Guanling.

, is in the midst of a fierce battle."

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli was shocked. With the strong troops deployed by the Central Army in southern Guizhou, Dushan should not have been broken through so quickly. Among the three-pronged Japanese attack, Yamashita Fengwen had the smallest number of troops, but attacked the fastest.

The terrain conditions of Dushan are much more complicated than Ziyun and Guanling. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it was the first to be captured. Isn't it normal? There is something evil in this?

"Send a telegram to Chang Feng immediately and quickly find out the direction of Dushan. Who is the commander of the Central Army garrison?" Tang Qiuli hurriedly ordered. A few hours later, Chang Feng called back, "Division Commander, it has been found out, Dushan

The commander of the Central Army garrison is General Liu Zhi," Tang Qiuli sat down on the chair, almost groaning in pain.

No wonder Yamashita Fengwen advanced so fast in the Dushan direction with less than 90,000 troops. As far as he knew, the Central Army troops in the Dushan direction had at least two group armies with more than 150,000 troops, and they occupied favorable geographical locations.

Why couldn't they withstand Yamashita Fengwen's attack despite their superiority? It turned out that Liu Zhi was the commander.

Tang Qiuli had not met Liu Zhi many times, but he had dealt with him several times. The most recent one was when he served as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Bandit Suppression after the Xi'an Incident. At that time, Liu Zhi served as

The commander-in-chief of the West Route Army can even make appointments with his division commanders

Although he had a high status in the Central Army, he had no achievements and his talents were extremely mediocre. He was nicknamed "Fujiang" by his colleagues in the army. Even in history, whether in the Anti-Japanese War or with the Japanese

In the two civil wars, this Duke never won a battle.

However, he has always been trusted and reused by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, taking charge of the military power many times, and miraculously leading the troops after each defeat. This has become a mystery for later generations of historians. Tang Qiuli secretly complained in his heart, "Chiang Kai-shek"

Has the Chairman lost his mind?

Sending such an incompetent senior general to serve as the commander of a major direction. There are so many famous generals in the Central Army, such as Wei Lihuang, Du Yuming, Xue Yue, no matter who comes out, it will not be so easy for him to return to the mountain to serve.

succeed."

But the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek sent such a doughty person, could he withstand the sword of Yamashita Fengwen, who was known for his fierceness? Tang Qiuli was worried and worried about the situation in Dushan in southern Guizhou, and Dushan had already been captured.

Yamashita Fengwen, who was commanding the remaining 90,000 Japanese troops to rush towards Duyun, was also dissatisfied and lost his temper.

There is only one reason. Yamashita Fengwen believes that the attack speed of the troops is too slow. According to his plan, the leading unit of the 15th Army should appear in the Longli area in the east of Guiyang at this moment, not in the rubble-strewn area behind him.

small town.
