Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 998: The End of Yamashita Fengwen (Part 1)

In order to rescue Yamashita Fengwen's 15th Army, which was surrounded by Tang Qiuli at the foot of Duyun City, General Touichi Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southern Expeditionary Army, did not hesitate to mobilize all the main forces of the Japanese army attacking Guiyang and take a shortcut to Duyun to rescue them.

This guy gave him both annoyance and a headache.{}

Several groups of Japanese troops evacuated the Guiyang battlefield overnight and turned around to head east. The troops set off. Shouyi suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and uneasiness in the temple. More than 300,000 imperial troops were thrown into the mountains of southern China and Guizhou.

Is it a blessing or a curse?

, it is still unknown, he was in a daze for a while, and had to cheer up, and sent a telegram to Yamashita Fengwen to cheer up this arrogant guy. He, Yamashita Fengwen, was transferred to the entire Expeditionary Army by himself, and he had enough face.

Big!

"The commander of the 15th Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, has dispatched more than 300,000 main troops from Guiyang, taking the shortest route to Duyun. The main task of your army now is to hold on where you are and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

, During this period, no active offensive actions can be taken. Remember, the commander-in-chief, General Juichi Terauchi, personally wrote, "This is the content of the telegram sent to Yamashita Fengwen."

After reading the telegram, Yamashita Fengfumi, who had become a trapped beast, was not filled with gratitude in his heart, but felt a great shame. When had the 15th Army ever needed other troops to come to rescue? Even if it could successfully break through, there would still be

How can I face my former colleagues? This is an unreasonable paranoid mentality after a long period of arrogance and arrogance, and a sudden blow.

Shouyi in the temple thought that he had chosen an unexpected route. Unfortunately, there were only four routes from Guiyang to Duyun. Tang Qiuli had already deployed four brigades of troops, firmly blocking the route to Duyun.

Well, those rugged mountain roads that can barely be called passages,

More than 300,000 troops were dispatched, but Shouichi Terauchi still felt uneasy. He sent troops to the 21st Division, the 28th Division, the Chongteng Detachment, the Haga Detachment, and the 20th Division stationed in Hainan Island.

Sixteenth Division, Twentieth Division, Part II

After receiving an urgent order, they immediately landed in Beibu Gulf, marched north along the direction of Dushan via Nanning, and with the main force of the dispatched army marching eastward from Guiyang, surrounded Tang Qiuli's troops and the city of Duyun in southern Guizhou. Temple Shouichi's appetite was not small and he wanted to attack Tang Dynasty.

Qiu Li is in a battle of annihilation.

However, Tang Qiuli was not yet aware of Temple Shouichi's move to withdraw most of his troops from the Guiyang front line. The first to notice it was the Central Army troops defending Guiyang. Gu Zhutong, the Commander-in-Chief of Guiyang City Defense, arrived early in the morning.

When he woke up, he felt depressed. He didn't sleep well that night. He had constant nightmares. No one could sleep peacefully under the watchful eyes of more than 400,000 Japanese troops, unless he was a fool.

Gu Zhutong was not optimistic about the Battle of Guiyang, which was presided over by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself. Two armies of hundreds of thousands retreated from Xingyi and Luodian in southern Guizhou to Guiyang. Even the favorable terrain conditions could not stop them.

What can they do in Guiyang, which is almost undefendable now that they are at the foot of the Japanese offensive?

Along the way, Gu Zhutong fought unconvinced and angrily. With proper tactical command, the soldiers were able to risk their lives and resist desperately, but why couldn't they stop the Japanese army's rapid attack? This was what he asked in his heart.

Gu Zhutong asked himself this question countless times, and was not very satisfied with Chairman Chiang's appointment of him as the Commander-in-Chief of Guiyang City Defense.

As the commander-in-chief of the same direction, why could Chen Cheng put down this heavy burden and return to Chongqing, only leaving himself in Guiyang? In the fierce battle yesterday, almost all the outer positions of Guiyang were lost, Xiaohe and Huaxi fell into

At the hands of the Japanese army, Guiyang had lost its barrier.

Opening his eyes and looking at the dawn outside the window, Gu Zhutong's mood became heavier and heavier. He didn't know how he would get through today. The overwhelming Japanese artillery fire was still fresh in his memory. At this time, Gu Zhutong's mood was a bit...

The feeling of being trapped in a lonely city.

I pushed open the door, but I didn't hear the heartbreaking sound of artillery. At this time yesterday, the Japanese were fighting fiercely. Why were they so quiet today? "Come here, call and ask what's going on at the front line?"

Gu Zhutong shouted loudly. He didn't hear the sound of gunfire, and he felt a little unsure.

Before the guards could go out, the chief of staff ran in excitedly and shouted loudly from afar: "Commander-in-Chief, good news. According to reports from the forward troops, the Japanese troops opposite them suddenly withdrew last night, leaving only

The trenches and fortifications were empty, except for a small number of Japanese troops entrenched in the west of Guiyang City, but no action was taken."

Gu Zhutong was shocked by the sudden news and asked in disbelief: "What? Most of the Japanese troops suddenly withdrew. Is this true?" The chief of staff replied: "Commander-in-Chief, the news is true. I

I have verified it with the frontline troops one by one," Gu Zhutong's head was a little confused.

Seeing that Gu Zhutong had no countermeasures at the moment, the chief of staff suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, the number of Japanese troops still in the west of Guiyang City must be small. Should we take this opportunity to take the initiative to attack and annihilate or defeat this Japanese army?"

"

Gu Zhutong shook his head and said: "No, beware of the Japanese army's tricks and convey my order. Troops from all directions in Guiyang should strictly guard the existing defense areas. Move the 10th Army to the west of Guiyang to strengthen the defense lines there and report the situation to Chiang Kai-shek truthfully.

Chairman, "With the Guiyang Central Army's garrison strength of more than 400,000, and the temple's more than 170,000 troops, as long as Gu Zhutong takes the initiative to attack, even with a crowd, he can kill the Japanese troops in the hands of the temple's Shoichi."

It is a pity that Gu Zhutong did not dare to make such a decision. He was frightened by the fierce Japanese offensive in the previous period and missed a great opportunity. Gu Zhutong's military ability was relatively average, but he was afraid of Chiang Kai-shek.

Chairman must

It is only through his loyalty that he can be reused, and his mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults is at play. If it were Chen Cheng, or any senior general of the Central Army except Liu Zhi, I am afraid that life for Juichi Terauchi would definitely be difficult.

.

In the early morning, the fog in the mountains of southern Guizhou had not yet dissipated. Tang Qiuli stretched out comfortably, got out of the tent to move his hands and feet a few times, and took a deep breath of the cool air. The fresh fragrance of vegetation and the elegant fragrance of wild flowers filled his heart.

Wash your face by the clear stream and feel refreshed immediately.

Suddenly, several low shouts were heard from the bamboo forest on the other side of the stream. Then, the bamboos were shaken, mixed with the sounds of rolling objects and fighting. A dozen special guards appeared beside Tang Qiuli like lightning.

, tightly protecting him in the middle, and the Somi submachine gun was ready to fire.

Tang Qiuli was not too worried. Shanxia Fengwen was too preoccupied with himself to take care of himself and had no intention of reaching here. He looked at the other side of the stream with great interest. After a while, thirty or forty people waded through the stream that was just below their knees and arrived in front of them.

Tang Qiuli was amused when he saw it.

The hidden sentry posted by Shanhu on the other side of the stream started a fight with the 11th detachment of the Chutian Special Warfare Detachment. There was heavy fog in the mountains in the morning, and the terrain chosen by the hidden sentry was very secluded. This area was close to the Japanese army, so the special warfare

When the soldiers of the detachment approached, they were regarded by the soldiers of the guard brigade as a small force of the Japanese army.

So why are you hesitating? They took action immediately. The soldiers of the special operations unit who were suddenly attacked were also unambiguous and responded extremely quickly. After the two sides fought for several rounds, they recognized each other and shouted bad luck. The two leaders

The captain of the team had a bruised nose and swollen face, and a dozen soldiers also had dark circles under their eyes and walked with a limp.

When Tang Qiuli saw the two squad leaders, he was still trying to fight cocks. He was unconvinced and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just treat it as two troops competing with each other."

More than a hundred people appeared here, and they were very surprised.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Sir, why are you in such a dangerous place?" Tang Qiuli smiled and asked, "Is it dangerous? What other tricks can Yamashita Fengwen come up with?" The captain of the special warfare unit suddenly remembered something.

He dragged a person from behind and said, "Battle Commander Shi, this is our division commander. Haven't you been muttering all the time along the way? Now I see you."

Shi Jinsheng, commander of the Special Agent Battalion of the 19th Army of the Central Army, looked at Tang Qiuli in stunned silence. He didn't react for a moment. Oh my god, this is Vice Chairman Tang who is as famous as Chairman Chiang. He is so young, less than three years old.

Ten years old, right? He dares to wander around here with more than a hundred people. This is brave enough, and his subordinates can rest assured?

Tang Qiuli asked Shi Jinsheng very gently about the situation of Duyun and the 19th Army. Shi Jinsheng's eyes were full of stars. He was a major battalion commander and could have a long conversation with a second-level general, and he was also a good person.

A legendary figure with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. This is a blessing gained in a lifetime.

At this time, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, hurriedly came over and said, "Division commander, we received reports from our troops in Duyun West, Kaimen, Jiangzhou, and Pinglang. Japanese troops were found everywhere. Judging from their marching direction, they came from Guiyang.

"The main force of the Japanese army," Tang Qiuli was startled, the temple's Shouichi arrived so quickly, and the number of troops was not small.

In one night, he appeared in the above direction. He arranged it in advance and used it. Touichi Terauchi made a dangerous move and ordered, "The four brigades on the left wing must guard their respective mountain passes to block the Japanese army's eastward advance. At the same time, prevent the Japanese from

The 15th Army breaks out from this direction."

"Order the artillery and rocket artillery units to immediately prepare to bombard the Japanese army, and order Le Yiqin's aviation unit to immediately bomb the Japanese army positions." Tang Qiuli issued two orders in a row, which made Shi Jinsheng dazzled and his heart beat fast.

, people have military divisions fighting, and there are also airplanes.

Yamashita Fengwen woke up early in the morning and received good news. The rescue team had arrived in the west of Duyun and was advancing rapidly. His anxious mood for many days suddenly became lighter. It seemed that the old guy Shouichi Templeuchi

, dare not not rescue himself, the 15th Army was destroyed, and he could not escape the involvement.

Just as he was about to ask the orderly to bring him sake and have a good breakfast, he heard the roar of a motor in the sky above his head. A plane? Is it an imperial army plane? Yamashita Fengwen raised his head and looked at the sky.
