Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 980: Yamashita Fengwen’s Nails

General Liu Zhi, the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army of the Central Army's Qiannan Defense Line, ran from Dushan to Duyun like a frightened bird. Under the reminder of the chief of staff, he finally remembered to hold a military meeting, not that he was determined to live or die with Duyun.

It's about doing some stage work, so that if the military committee investigates in the future, you can have a high-sounding excuse to get away. (Baidu search,)

The speed of the meeting also reflected the thoughts of the **** general. From start to finish, it took no more than five minutes. Moreover, he readily handed over the military command of Duyun to the garrison stationed there.

Here, Lieutenant General Guo Huawen, commander of the 19th Group Army, implies that he has absolute trust in you, brother Guo, and unconditional trust. You can work hard.

The speed of the military meeting was record-breaking. The senior officers of the 19th Group Army also expected to listen to Commander-in-Chief Liu's teachings first-hand and have superior insights and arrangements on how to defend Dujun. At the very least, they should point out a person.

Who knew the general direction? After saying a few words, the chubby general adjourned the meeting and led the general headquarters to evacuate to Fuquan overnight. His words were so shocking that everyone's eyes dropped.

Guo Huawen's face was livid at that time. He had no contact with Liu Zhi. Before that, he had not fought under Liu Zhi in all directions. He maintained the minimum respect for this general who had a high status in the political system.

He was respected, but now, Liu Zhi's words and performance made him completely disappointed and angry.

Liu Zhi withdrew from Dushan. The most basic military common sense should be to introduce the situation in Dushan and the basic situation of the Japanese army. However, he would flee after just a few words. His character and style of doing things

, it was so unsightly that Guo Huawen couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and stood up.

Staring at Liu Zhi, he said word by word: "Commander Liu, I have a few words to say in this humble position." Liu Zhi, who was about to leave, stopped in surprise. He didn't know what Guo Huawen meant. In his own opinion,

Come on, things have been made very clear. You, the 19th Army Group, are responsible for the defense of Duyun. Is there anything else you want to say?

Liu Zhi looked impatient and frowned and said: "Commander Guo, is there anything else you don't know about?" Guo Huawen suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Commander Liu, what is the current battle situation in Dushan?

Our 19th Group Army defenders

Did a brigade of troops collapse or be completely annihilated? When did Dushan fall? What kind of troops were the Japanese troops that attacked Dushan and Duyun? What was their size and weapons and equipment? What was the name and rank of its commander?

Commander-in-Chief, please give me some instructions?"

Liu Zhi was dumbfounded. How could he know these questions? He just escaped for his life and let the Dushan defenders defend. This was also an arrangement to cover his escape. Commander Liu himself did not even see the appearance of the Japanese soldiers.

, he threw off his armor and ran to Duyun. You, Guo Huawen, asked me, who should I ask?

Liu Zhi's eyes widened, and the fat on his cheeks kept trembling. He also saw the anger in Guo Huawen's eyes, but he really didn't know how to answer him. It was Liu Zhi's chief of staff who saw the opportunity and stepped forward.

To relieve the siege, he said: "Commander Guo, Mr. Liu

The commander went to the front line to inspect the defense. He encountered a sudden change and retreated hastily. He was not very clear about the basic situation of the Japanese army. When the general headquarters withdrew from Dushan, fierce fighting had already occurred. It is said that the Japanese army attacking our east road this time was

Its main force."

The Chief of Staff's words were like farts, with no reality at all. Guo Huawen sneered, without looking at the Chief of Staff, he continued to stare at Liu Zhi and said: "Commander Liu, at the moment, the Japanese vanguard has occupied Duyun.

Xiyun Peak, the southwest barrier, it can be seen that Dushan has been lost, and thousands of our soldiers have died for the country. The Japanese army attacking our east road is the Fifteenth Army of Yamashita Fengwen. It is the trump card force of the Japanese army, with more than 90,000 people.

."

Liu Zhi was embarrassed for a while, this Guo Huawen is deliberately trying to make me look ugly. You already know it, and you still come to ask me? He simply looked down, otherwise, he would not be forced to stay in Duyun by this Guo Huawen, and his tone turned cold and said:

"Commander Guo, since the enemy's situation is clear,

You'd better make arrangements to defend Duyun as soon as possible. I, Liu, shoulder the responsibility of commanding hundreds of thousands of troops on the East Road. It is impossible to give up the overall situation for Duyun. Remember, if Duyun falls, you, Commander Guo, will

Go to Chongqing and plead guilty to Chairman Chiang!"

Liu Zhi vowed to carry out his shamelessness to the end. He was really invincible. Guo Huawen was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He simply broke his face and said loudly: "Commander Liu, the Japanese army attacked Duyun with more than 90,000 men from the elite 15th Army.

Our 19th Army only has 80,000 troops, and its weapons and equipment are not as good as those of the Japanese army. The entire Army has only a few dozen large-caliber artillery pieces, so how can we defend Duyun."

"If there are no follow-up reinforcements, even if I, Guo Huawen, are shot now, Duyun will fall sooner or later. Therefore, Huawen has a suggestion to transfer all the artillery of the 10th Group Army stationed in Majiang to me. In this way,

Only then can Duyun have hope of holding on. Commander Liu, can you satisfy my wish?" Seeing that Liu Zhi could not count on it, Guo Huawen directly raised conditions.

Liu Zhi just wanted to get away as soon as possible and leave Duyun. He naturally agreed to Guo Huawen's request. As for whether he could fulfill it, God knows. Liu Zhi took everyone in the headquarters and hurriedly evacuated to Fuquan overnight. The conference room was quiet.

After coming down, all the military divisions and brigade commanders of the 19th Group who attended the meeting were full of anger. Liu Zhi's performance made these senior officers extremely disappointed and chilled.

Guo Huawen glanced at these generals coldly and said: "Everyone, just let him run. According to the soldiers who survived Dushan and returned, the Japanese army carried out a brutal and inhumane massacre in Dushan. Tens of thousands of civilians and captured people were killed."

None of the soldiers survived, so we must defend Duyun because

Because we are unable to retreat, the tens of thousands of people in Duyun, as well as the countless people behind, are counting on us to block the brutal Japanese army for them. We are not allowed to retreat. As soldiers, we have the responsibility to defend the territory. Everyone has confidence,

Will you and I, Guo, fight to the death with the Japanese army at the gates of Duyun City?"

Guo Huawen's words aroused the passion of soldiers in the hearts of the generals of the 19th Group Army, and they shouted together: "Follow the commander to the death and fight to the death with the Japanese army." "Okay, let's arrange the task. The Japanese army occupying Xiyun Peak is the vanguard."

There are only more than 3,000 troops in a regiment. As you know, Xiyun Peak is from Duyun.

The peripheral barrier was lost here. The Japanese army could overlook the city of Duyun from a high position, and all the artillery could also bombard us from a high position, blocking all movements of our defenders. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity before the main force of the Japanese army arrived.

, counterattack all night, recapture Xiyun Peak, and strengthen our troops to defend this key point."

Xiyun Peak is about seven or eight kilometers away from Duyun City. The altitude is not high. The mountain has rugged rocks and dense trees. It is like a wall, blocking the only main mountain road from Dushan to Duyun, and protecting the people at the bottom of the mountain.

Duyun City has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. There is a saying that "if you get to Xiyun Peak, you can go to Duyun City".

Yamashita Fengwen's military vision was indeed ruthless. He had set his sights on Xiyun Peak as early as the attack on Dushan. For this reason, he ordered the 133th Regiment of the Ninth Division to march as fast as possible.

If we go deep alone, we must occupy Xiyun Peak and control Duyun, the only barrier, before tonight's evening.

The soldiers at the foot of the mountain had no choice but to make dangerous moves. The mountain roads in southern Guizhou made it difficult for the Japanese troops dragging a large amount of heavy equipment. The main force of the 15th Army would not be able to arrive until around ten o'clock tomorrow morning at the earliest.

Under Duyun City, as for the artillery troops dragging heavy artillery, they would not be able to arrive until the morning of the day after tomorrow.

If the Chinese government forces were prepared, established a solid defense system on Xiyun Peak, and strengthened their firepower, the 15th Army would have been delayed in Duyun for a few days, and the casualties would have been huge. This is what Yamashita Fengwen

Absolutely unacceptable, so even though the 133rd Regiment was advancing lightly and going deep alone, he had to do this. Moreover, he was not worried that the 133rd Regiment would encounter any trouble. The Chinese government troops guarding Dushan

His performance made him full of confidence in his wonderful move.

Sure enough, the 1st, 3rd and 3rd Regiments did not disappoint him. It took less than two hours to capture Xiyun Peak. Fengwen, who was climbing on the rugged mountain road in southern Guizhou, looked at the 1,33rd and 3rd Regiments.

The report of the commander of the regiment, Colonel Shinyu Yokoyama

After hearing the Czech telegram, he laughed proudly for the first time. He was relieved, "Hahaha, Mr. Hengshan is indeed a warrior of our empire. He has opened the gate of Duyun and conveyed my order. The troops will rest where they are for the night. At dawn,

march."

Jinyong on Hengshan Mountain on Xiyun Peak was also in a very comfortable mood. He marched hundreds of kilometers over a long distance without taking a breath, and immediately launched an attack. Whether it was terrain conditions or other aspects, it was very unfavorable to the imperial army, but it was impossible not to

Within two hours, more than a thousand Chinese government soldiers guarding the place were all defeated, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, while the rest fled in all directions.

Such a record can only be explained by the bravery and invincibility of the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army. If it had not been late and the terrain was unfamiliar, Hengshan Jinyong would have attacked Duyun City immediately. When the Commander arrived, he would have been in Duyun City.

What a wonderful thing it would be to welcome him with the corpse of a Chinese soldier under his feet. It is also very possible to hang a gold star on the epaulette.

Hengshan Jinyong became excited because of his own ideas. He had already made a decision. In the early morning of tomorrow, the troops would attack Duyun and capture Duyun City before the main force of the army arrived. As the sharp knife regiment of the 15th Army,

When I arrived in Chongqing, the capital of China, I was probably covered with medals.

At this time, in Duyun City, all the artillery of the 19th Army had already aimed their artillery coordinates at Xiyunfeng Mountain. More than 6,000 soldiers of the Army's ** Brigade had secretly moved out of the city and were quietly lurking at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain.

, the commander leading the team was surprisingly Lieutenant General Guo Huawen, the commander of the group army.
