Age of Rebirth

When the first round of artillery and bombing fell, Lieutenant General Yamashita, the commander of the Japanese No.15 Army, was almost carried by several loyal guards into the cave in front of him. The huge explosion shook the cave. After shaking for a while, the shock wave carried the mud and crashed into the cave.

As if it were an invisible giant hand, it slapped hard. Your Excellency the Commander and the guards, like rolling gourds, rolled until they stopped in front of the radio station deep in the cave. The guards didn't care about their own fainting Head swollen, body hurting from bumps, he hurriedly helped the commander up.

After all, Yamashita Fengwen was relatively old, and he couldn't compare with those young guards. He fell hard, his nose unfortunately touched the ground directly, and he kissed a protruding stone fiercely on his forehead. It was blood, the commander with his eyes rolled, and several guards were terrified, thinking that His Excellency the General had died a heroic death for the country.

There is an unwritten rule in the Japanese army. If a commander dies in battle while his bodyguard is still alive, it is a dereliction of duty. He failed to protect his boss. Go to the atonement camp in a remote and difficult area, reflect on your own mistakes, and atone for the commander who died in battle.

If you are unlucky, go to a court-martial, or be ordered to commit suicide by caesarean section, no one wants their guards to just kick their legs and play. Several guards are in a hurry, some pinch people, some press their chests, I hope I can get back on my breath. Yamashita Fufumi, who was not a big deal at first, was almost made to lose his breath. [

Opening his eyes, he cursed indistinctly: "Baga, what are you doing?" Hearing that the Commander can still curse, the guards felt relieved, the Commander is not dead, so we don't have to follow through.It feels so good to be alive.

Yamashita Fengwen was fully awake, but his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up. Hearing the violent explosion sound like a tsunami outside the cave, and feeling the numb vibrations under his buttocks, his spirit and will completely collapsed. How could the Chinese people There are so many planes.There are so many cannons, and there are absolutely terrifying strange cannons with long tail flames that cannot be named.

More than 5 loyal soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire.In the blink of an eye, he was plunged into a death vortex composed of flames and chips, without even seeing the shadow of the enemy soldiers. The brave No.15 Army fell apart, and Yamashita Fufumi only now knows.How ridiculous it was to laugh at Tang Qiuli's inability to use troops. This China devil had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation with the imperial army. He wanted to bury the No.15 army with his overwhelming open-air firepower.

No.15 army and his own life.It was about to come to an end. Under such artillery fire and bombing, there were still a few surviving soldiers, and there was an encirclement circle of independent divisions on the periphery.The rescue troops are still more than 100 kilometers away. When they arrive, they should collect the body for me at the foot of the mountain.

Thinking of the approaching reinforcements, Yamashita Fengfumi's ashen-like face turned sickly red, and his eyes became slightly alive, no matter what.This is the only chance to save lives, "Hurry up. Send an urgent telegram to the commander-in-chief," Yamashita Fengwen said hurriedly while sitting on the ground.

"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief. At eight o'clock this morning, the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli, who surrounded our headquarters, launched an air-ground joint three-dimensional attack on me. Thousands of artillery pieces and hundreds of planes have completely destroyed our defensive positions. , our troops suffered heavy casualties, I implore the commander-in-chief to urge the rescue troops to speed up the march, then Yamashita Fufumi and all the soldiers of the No.15 Army will be grateful to you, commander-in-chief, and Yamashita will work hard for you."

Seeing the telegram sent by Yamashita Fufumi, Terauchi Shouichi, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Dispatch Army far away in Guiyang, looked bleak. Based on his understanding of Yamashita Fengfu, he would not plead so humbly until the end of the mountain. For myself, this shows that the No.15 Army is already in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Order, the troops marching eastward to Duyun, at all costs, must break through the four passages of Baimang, Kaimen, Jiangzhou, and Pinglang before noon today, and rescue the No.15 Army in a critical moment," thought Thinking about it, Terauchi Shouichi added another sentence, "If the No.15 army is all broken, they must also bring back the body of Lieutenant General Yamashita Fubumi." Begging myself to rescue, not to the point of life and death, this guy will never do this.

Then, Shouichi in the temple issued a second order, "Assemble the troops with Nanning, and immediately march northward, at any cost, open the road from Dushan to Duyun, and meet the No. 15 army to break through." For this reinforcement, the temple Shouyi doesn't have too much hope, the journey is too far, but Yamashita Fengwen can't die so soon, the bait is gone, and there are more than 50 troops in two groups, why rush to Duyun in a hurry?

The joint air-ground fire strike of the No.15 Japanese army under Xiyun Peak has ended, and Le Yiqin's air force Southern Flying Group fleet has also returned. Before leaving, Le Yiqin did not forget to tell Zheng Yong, "Commander Zheng Officer, the battlefield is too small and there are too few little devils. We didn't decide the winner this time. When there is a big battle, let's see whether your artillery is more effective or our aviation is more powerful." After finishing speaking, Zheng Yong He agreed, and simply turned off the communicator.

Zheng Yong was furious because of this, this guy still held grudges, he didn't even have a chance to retaliate, and when he thought about it, he thought of the thunderous bazooka that was showing off, and he was in a good mood at that time, he couldn't wait to go out to see these big guys, and bump into the teacher head-on Tang Qiuli, under the protection of Shan Hu and several special guards, walked into the command post spotless.

Zheng Yong was taken aback, and hurriedly greeted him. After saluting, he asked: "Master, why is it you? Didn't you say that you are still more than 20 kilometers away from the Duyun battlefield? The battle here is not completely over, and the remaining Japanese troops are still there It’s dangerous if they haven’t been cleared up, just bring these few people, Captain Huang, and you too, the safety of the division commander is more important than anything else, this is the regulation of our independent division,” Zheng Yong couldn’t help complaining to Shan Hu.

Tang Qiuli interrupted Zheng Yong with a smile, and said, "Don't blame Shanhu. You Zheng Dapao and Le Yiqin are both cannons and planes. They are fighting in full swing, so I am not allowed to take command? Ten Thunders The rocket launcher regiment is given to you, but it still can’t deal with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, don’t worry, I’ve seen it all along the way, with just you and Le Yiqin’s ruthlessness, there can be a few Japanese soldiers alive.”

Zheng Yong smiled embarrassedly. Just as he was about to mention the rocket launcher, Chen Feng, the director of communications, came in, "Reporting to the commander, the Southeast Mobile Corps Command located on the front line of Yulin, Guangxi received a call. About [-] Japanese troops have assembled in the Nanning area." According to its movements and the information obtained by the special operations unit, Commander Ma Chaoyang judged that this group of Japanese troops is most likely to be the troops that went north to rescue Yamashita Fufumi, and asked for instructions on the next step."

Tang Qiuli frowned, hey, Shouyi in the temple has a lot of ambitions, he wants to encircle the regiment directly under Duyun, plus the Japanese army coming from Guiyang, with a force of more than 50 troops, to make a letter at the foot of the mountain. It really poked a hornet's nest, and Nanning will recover sooner or later, and southern Guangxi cannot be controlled by the Japanese army.

He looked at Chen Feng and dictated an order, "All of Ma Chaoyang's corps, go out to the north of Guigang immediately, stop this Japanese army on the Mashan line, and block their way to the north. This brigade will be assigned to Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps for the time being, and will participate in this battle."

"Chang Feng's two brigades in Dushan, together with all the tank and artillery units directly under the corps, immediately went south to the front line of Mashan, and organized the Mashan Battle with Ma Chaoyang. Chang Feng was the commander in chief and Ma Chaoyang was the deputy. Commander-in-Chief, please remind Chang Feng and Ma Chaoyang that Mashan is not as favorable as the western part of Duyun, and they only have the Hongshui River as a natural barrier."

Chen Feng went out to convey the order, and Tang Qiuli called the Chief of Staff Yang Ketian in again, and said, "Ketian, you immediately convey my order, directly under the second, third, and fourth brigades of the Corps, and immediately rush to Baiwang, Kaimen, Jiang On the front line of Zhouzhou and Pinglang, together with the original four brigades, blocked the Japanese army in the direction of Guiyang, which was trying to approach Duyun, and it is estimated that at this moment, Temple Shouyi must have given the Japanese army a death order."

"Also, the first brigade is here to clear the remaining Japanese troops from the No.15 Army. You can follow the troops to the west of Duyun, and report the situation there to me at any time," Yang Ketian promised, and reported another situation. "Master, I just received a telegram from Guo Huawen, Commander of the No.19 Group Army of the Duyun garrison, asking his troops to also participate in the task of clearing the remaining troops of the No.15 Army of the Japanese Army. Look..." [

Tang Qiuli smiled knowingly, and said to Yang Ketian: "This Commander Guo, can't bear the loneliness anymore, and wants to take this opportunity to beat the dog in the water and call him back. The battle is coming to an end, and if the original deployment is disrupted, the remaining Japanese troops may have a chance. You can take advantage of it, your department can just stick to Xiyunfeng, and our department will drive the Japanese army in this direction." After finishing speaking, he said to Yang Ketian, "Just send it like this. Guo Huawen can understand what I mean. The No.19 Army has fought hard. It’s bitter, and it’s time to rest.”

After reading Tang Qiuli's reply, Guo Huawen showed a knowing smile. This vice chairman Tang is really understanding. Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore, and he was extremely angry.

He received an order from Liu Zhi, commander-in-chief of the Central Army’s Qiannan Defense Line and the East Route Army, “Guo Huawen, Commander of the No.19 Group Army, the Japanese No.15 Army has been besieging Duyun for many days. Now, the critical situation in Guiyang has been resolved. According to the deployment of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, the No.11 Army will go out of Majiang to Duyun to take over the defense of your department, and deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army that has been rampant for many days, annihilating the enemy and the city of Duyun. Ma Jiang, this order is Liu Zhi, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army."

Seeing Liu Zhi's order, Guo Hua's eyes were full of anger, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Liu Zhi's actions were obviously to take credit.
