Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 981 Xiyun Peak Counterattack

As the top commander of the more than 80,000 Central Army troops in Duyun, Guo Huawen personally directed the battle to recapture Xiyun Peak. This was abnormal. It can be seen how much Guo Huawen attached great importance to Xiyun Peak. Xiyun Peak was unexpectedly captured by the Japanese.

The capture was like a thorn piercing deep into Guo Huawen's throat. While he blamed himself, he actively organized a counterattack.

All the officers of the Nineteenth Group Army were fiercely opposed to the commander's risking his life. How could he be so rash when he was responsible for the fate and safety of more than 80,000 officers and soldiers and the city of Duyun? However, Guo Huawen had made up his mind, and the generals had no choice but to

Watching him leave the city with fear.

Xiyunfeng fell because Guo Huawen did not expect that the Japanese army would come so quickly and that the defenders would be defeated so quickly. As long as the defenders persisted for more than two hours, Guo Huawen would organize his troops and surround the thousands of little Japanese who were alone.

They were all killed at the foot of Xiyun Peak, but it was too late. The regiment leader who lost the important area of ​​Xiyun Peak and fled back to Duyun City has been shot. Only by recapturing Xiyun Peak can we defend Duyun City.

On a summer night in southern Guizhou, it is hot and humid. Flying insects are flying everywhere. They get into the collars, cuffs and trouser legs of the Central Army soldiers, and their bites are painful and painful. On Xiyun Peak, Japanese soldiers gather up

The piles of bonfires swayed like will-o'-the-wisps in the dark night, and from time to time the Japanese soldiers hummed tunes drifted along with the night wind. For these Japanese soldiers, fighting such a battle was almost like traveling.

The night gradually deepened, the temperature dropped, and the condensed dew dropped drop by drop on the clothes, soaking the thin military uniform.

It was so cold that one couldn't help but shiver. It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the bonfire on the mountain had dimmed, and there was no longer the sound of the Japanese soldiers howling like ghosts. There was a deathly silence around Xiyun Peak.

Guo Huawen looked at the luminous watch and whispered to the operator carrying the radio on his back: "Order the artillery to start bombarding." There were no lights and dull thunder suddenly sounded in the dark city of Duyun. From Guo Huawen's perspective

Look, bursts of fire appear and disappear, and meteors fly from far to near in the sky, passing overhead in an instant.

The artillery of the 19th Group Army began to bombard Xiyun Peak. The shells, with long tail flames and piercing screams, plunged into the main peak of Xiyun Peak. The flames rose up. In the light of the fire, the Japanese army

The staggering figures of the soldiers appeared and disappeared, and the sound of huge explosions continued to spread to all directions in the dark night, causing dull echoes in the distance.

Groups of artillery shells ripped through the air and roared in. Xiyun Peak was shrouded in flames and metal fragments. Hengshan Jinyong suddenly jumped up from the haze. What caught his eyes were the artillery shells falling like meteors.

, everywhere

The firelight, the whistling and flying shrapnel, the imperial soldiers whose bodies were torn apart in the firelight, and the panicked figures running around. What was heard was that in the huge roar, the brave and invincible imperial soldiers were dying.

's screams.

"Shell bombardment, bombardment by the Chinese army, immediately enter the fortifications and prepare to fight!" Hengshan Jinyong immediately understood that the Chinese army had taken advantage of the night to counterattack. Your Excellency, the captain of the company, stood bravely and fearlessly on a high place, commanding loudly, maybe he was the target

It was too obvious, maybe Yokoyama Shinyu was too unlucky. Just after shouting these words, several artillery shells flew over, and the soil, smoke, and fire mixed with the shrubs on the ground and flew into the air.

After the smoke cleared, there were several large pits on the ground, and the lingering smoke was still rising. There was no trace of the presence of the captain of the 133rd Regiment, Colonel Yokoyama Shinyō, and a few torn pieces of military uniforms.

, a command knife broken into several pieces, seems to be able to prove that the person who once stood here was a Japanese soldier with a beautiful dream, but with his sins, he only added some fertilizer to the land of southern Guizhou, China.

.

Unexpectedly, in the early morning when the Japanese soldiers were the sleepiest and most unprepared, the fierce bombardment lasted for more than an hour, causing huge casualties to the 133th Regiment. The area around the main peak of Xiyun Peak was almost changed.

The terrain and landscape showed that more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were covered in shelling and their bodies were torn to pieces.

As soon as the bombardment ended and the Japanese soldiers had not yet woken up from the bombardment, a roar suddenly broke out at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain. More than 6,000 Central Army soldiers shook off the dew from their bodies and launched a charge towards the remaining Japanese troops. Guo Huawen

He breathed a long sigh of relief. There was no more suspense in the battle to recapture Xiyun Peak. The effect of this shelling was beyond his expectation.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the battle to regain Xiyun Peak ended successfully. The Japanese 133th Regiment was completely annihilated on Xiyun Peak. More than 3,200 people under the commander of the Japanese Regiment, Yokoyama Shinyong, and the following were all annihilated. Unfortunately,

Unfortunately, not a single Japanese prisoner was captured. The angry Central Army soldiers attacked without mercy. In addition, the Japanese soldiers resisted desperately, which aroused the soldiers' anger and simply killed them all.

Faced with such a result, Guo Huawen could only smile bitterly. His original intention was to capture a few Japanese soldiers and send them to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in Chongqing, so as to promote the reputation of the 19th Group Army. It seemed that this matter was in vain.

Subsequently, Guo Huawen placed more than 6,000 people from the *** Brigade on Xiyun Peak, and mobilized a large number of troops to repair fortifications overnight, dig anti-gun holes and hidden areas, establish various firepower points, and transport enough

Ammunition and supplies, as well as various medicines, were also sent to some doctors and nurses from the group army's field hospital to establish a field hospital. Perhaps in the future, the main position of Xiyun Peak will be in a state of isolation.

Guo Huawen knew very well that the main position of Xiyun Peak would bear the brunt of the fiercest Japanese attack in the future defense battle of Duyun. Without taking Xiyun Peak, the Japanese army would not be able to approach Duyun City. It can be said that Xiyun Peak would not be able to approach Duyun City.

Where Yunfeng is, Duyun City is there. This is a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese.

At dawn, a Xiyun Peak main position with complete fortifications and various defensive measures appeared in front of Guo Huawen. What he admired most was the creativity of the ** brigade commander Chi Zifeng.

On the slope, a communication trench was dug leading to Duyun City. This was equivalent to establishing a lifeline to Xiyun Peak, which could continuously increase troops and replenish supplies and ammunition to the main position of Xiyun Peak.

Back in the city, Guo Huawen meditated silently in front of the map. He suddenly discovered that there was a small river called Longtou River between Dushan and Duyun. It was only thirty kilometers away from Duyun. "Staff officer, immediately order twenty

The commander of the First Army's special agent battalion, come to me." An hour later, several trucks loaded with gunfire quickly drove out of Duyun City and headed towards the Longtou River.

That night, Yamashita Fengwen slept very soundly and sweetly. He had not slept well like this for a long time. When he got up, he took a breath of fresh air in China and could not help but be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in southern Guizhou. It was so beautiful, rich and vast.

The vast land is occupied by the inferior Chinese people. This inferior nation does not deserve to have such land. This is the only way for Yamashita Fengwen to pick up the saber, his hands covered with blood, and set foot on this land as a conqueror.

reason.

After relaxing for a few times, he took out a few kendo postures. Yamashita Fengfumi was in a good mood. He casually greeted the commander's staff and looked at him with reverence, "Xiaoyan-kun, is there any news from Yokoyama-kun?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Hengshan Regiment Captain's last report was at 23:00 last night. Since then, there has been no news," the young staff officer replied carefully.

"Oh, Mr. Hengshan probably overslept on that mountain peak in China. Contact the Hengshan Alliance immediately and ask about the situation in Duyun," Yamashita Fengwen casually ordered, enjoying a Japanese breakfast comfortably. Yamashita Fengwen's mind was already

I began to think about the next attack target of the 15th Army after occupying Duyun. It could be faster, but the attack speed of the troops was still slow.

Staff officer Xiaoyan ran over in a hurry, with an uncomfortable look on his face. Yamashita Fengwen shook his head and was very disapproving. He is a young man after all. He can't hold his breath. He is nothing more than the Chinese government troops trying to recapture Xiyun Peak. "Report to the commander,"

Your Excellency, our headquarters has lost contact with the Hengshan Regiment. All radio stations are on and there is no signal from the Regiment." Xiaoyan looked at his face and reported cautiously.

A piece of cake that Yamashita Fengwen took into his mouth was stuck in his throat at that time, and his face turned purple due to the suffocation. He finally swallowed it and asked hurriedly: "Since when did you lose contact with the Hengshan United?"

It was probably around 4 a.m. that the signal from the Hengshan Alliance was suddenly interrupted," Xiaoyan added further.

"Honey, it's four o'clock in the morning. That was four hours ago. Why didn't you report it right away? Baga, you are working like a stupid pig." Yamashita Fengwen suddenly stood up and overturned the table. A sumptuous breakfast

shaman

On the ground, he angrily rushed in front of Xiaoyan and slapped him across the face several times until his eyes were filled with stars and his mouth was bleeding. Then he left the dumbfounded staff officer and hurriedly rushed into the radio tent as if his buttocks were on fire.

Seeing the commander who suddenly turned into a ferocious man, Xiaoyan felt aggrieved and wanted to commit suicide. Unless you ordered him to go down, he should not disturb his rest for anything, even if a telegram came from Commander-in-Chief Juichi Terauchi, unless it was a telegram from His Majesty the Emperor.

At this moment, he has turned his back on me and refuses to acknowledge anyone else. Where can I go to try to reason with him? It’s so damn frustrating to receive these slaps.

Yamashita Fengwen rushed into the radio tent, and his first words were, "Everyone is dead, work hard," looking at the commander who was as furious as a bull having his eggs stepped on, several Japanese soldiers beside the radio station

The junior officers were stunned with fright, and suddenly there was a burning pain on their faces. It turned out that Your Excellency, the commander, was very agile, and everyone received a few slaps in the face.

The Hengshan Regiment lost contact with the lone army for more than four hours and could no longer be contacted. Yamashita Fengwen had a premonition that something must have gone wrong somewhere in Xiyun Peak. The worst outcome would be that the Hengshan Regiment would be captured by the Chinese government.

The army was annihilated. "Order down, all troops, immediately move to the direction of Duyun." In the mountains and fields of southern Guizhou, a sound like a wolf howling from Fengwen could be heard from the bottom of the mountain.
