Age of Rebirth

Shousuichi Terauchi has read the fatal telegram of Fengwen Yamashita many times. Once he reads it, he feels more sorrow in his heart. He tried to find out the reason for the destruction of the No.15 Army from this telegram. As the saying goes, "people are dying His words are also good," I hope this arrogant guy can provide something of value at the last moment of his life.

"Since you attacked the Qiannan area of ​​China under your command, from Dushan to Duyun, the Chinese army has been destroyed all the way like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves. However, the Xiyun Peak in Duyun can be said to be a turning point in the fate of our No.15 Army , the opponent in this battle is the No.19 Group Army of the Chinese government army. With only one place on Xiyunfeng, it blocked our more than [-] imperial army and Duyun City for more than [-] days. Among them, there are also troops with quite powerful combat effectiveness."

"Although the Chinese soldiers resisted stubbornly, under the superior firepower of our imperial army and the heroic fighting of the warriors, the Ministry is confident that in five days, Duyun City will be conquered, the Chinese government troops will be wiped out, and the other two The troops of the Lu Imperial Army will join forces at the foot of Guiyang City."

"However, there was a sudden major turning point in the course of the battle. The army of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli suddenly appeared behind our army. Since then, the situation on the battlefield has turned against the direction of the imperial army. If the No. With the careful deployment of Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the two troops of our imperial army can also form an anti-encirclement against the independent division troops in Duyun."

"However, God bless my No.15 Army, the equipment of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops surprised the humble staff, mobilized hundreds of planes, and at least the firepower of five artillery brigades to deal a devastating blow to me, among them What is particularly frightening is that the China Independent Division. Artillery has never been seen before. Since then, the fate of the No.15 Army has been doomed.”[

"Suggestion from a lowly official. In the future, when fighting against the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, we must concentrate our absolute superiority of troops and firepower, concentrate our aviation troops, and gain air supremacy. Only then will we have the hope of winning, and we hope to break through. To be a prisoner of inferior Chinese people, God bless my Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor! Yamashita Blessings is a must-write."

Shouyi in the temple was already in tears, and it was Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil again.From the disastrous defeat of Hongshuihe in Homma Yaqing to the annihilation of Duyun in Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, two lieutenant generals of the imperial army have fallen into the hands of this person.One died and one resigned. From Manchuria in North China to North China, and from East China to South China, how many excellent generals and brave soldiers of the empire died at the hands of this person. Could it be that he is the nemesis of the imperial army of our Great Japanese Empire?

Terauchi Shouyi suddenly remembered something, and he broke out in a cold sweat. The troops mobilized from Taiwan and Hainan Island.After landing in the Beibu Gulf, he went north to rescue Yamashita Fengwen.Now, the No.15 army has been wiped out.Yamashita Fengwen has died in battle, rescue is unnecessary, but the troops are still on the front line of Wuming.

Judging from the situation in which the independent division troops on the west front of Duyun desperately blocked the imperial army troops advancing eastward from Guiyang, Tang Qiuli obviously did not want to fight on both sides. Could it be that his vicious eyes were focused on the imperial army marching northward from Nanning? The Imperial Army troops in Duyun, the secret agents lurking in Guangzhou, sent information a few days ago that a corps of the Independent Division stationed in Guangzhou has left Guangzhou and marched westward to the front line of Wuzhou. The goal of this corps should be my northward rescue corps .

Thinking of this, Shouyi in the temple couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately issued an order, "The rescue corps going north to Duyun, immediately withdraw from Wuming to Nanning, without delay along the way, pay attention to searching for the enemy within [-] kilometers of the two wings. Troops attack and harass, they can be dispersed and not entangled, this order is urgent and executed immediately."

He also ordered the air force of the dispatched army to immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes, centering on the retreat route of the northward troops to Nanning, within a range of hundreds of kilometers around, to continuously reconnaissance the situation of the Chinese army, especially the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, Is there any attempt to approach Nanning?

Shouyi in the temple is indeed old and cunning. He anticipated the possible crisis, and also judged that if Tang Qiuli wanted to attack this army, outflanking the two wings would be a necessary tactic. Then, he still desperately attacked the four A channel of troops, issued an order.

"The rescue troops advancing eastward in Guiyang immediately stopped attacking the key points of the independent division's defense. The whole army returned to Guiyang and continued to implement the Guiyang campaign plan." Kaikou was everywhere and played very hard.

In this generation, the terrain is very complicated, with rugged mountain roads, stretching mountains, and dense jungles. In the mountains, hunters and drug farmers stepped on a path. In some places, it is difficult for two people to walk side by side. The troops of the independent division , Occupying several dangerous passes, condescending, two or three light machine guns can block a mountain road, and the natural cave is also a good bunker.

It is good for defense but not good for offense. It is conceivable that the Japanese army suffered under such natural conditions. The heavy equipment could not be transported at all. Only the mortar carried on the shoulders was regarded as a heavy weapon to support the attack, but the troops of the independent division , The number of mortars was more than double that of the Japanese army. In the fight, the artillery of the Japanese army was blown upside down, corpses and broken parts rolled all over the hillside, and only one squadron could be deployed in one attack.

Every time more than 100 soldiers climbed up, when they came back, they were either dragged bloody corpses, or wounded with severed hands and feet on stretchers, moaning and wailing. After fighting for several days, the Japanese commander who attacked from all directions was also discouraged. , The point is that this battle can't be fought, there are too many people for a fart, and later, only two or three attacks a day.

The number of casualties has been reduced. Looking at the logistics and supplies, it has become a problem for the Japanese army. There are more than 30 people. It is an astonishing number just to eat dumplings every day. Fortunately, there are gurgling streams everywhere. Otherwise, there would be more than 30 people. Japanese soldiers can die of thirst in the mountains.

There is also an unspoken reason. For those Japanese generals who came to rescue Fufumi Yamashita after passing through such a dangerous terrain for hundreds of kilometers, these Japanese generals were not very active in their hearts, and even some were passive and sabotaged. Fengfu Yamashita was usually arrogant Nostrils upturned, getting along with these people is definitely not friendly.

As far as he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and doing his best for the Great Japanese Empire, other people and other troops are all optional roles. With such a mentality, can he be popular? When he assigned tasks, this guy took it all by himself One direction, for fear that other people will share his credit. This time, he was surrounded and needed our rescue. After all, the Japanese were united enough and did not publicly express gloating. As for what they were thinking, only they knew .

After spending more than 1 days in the barren mountains and wild mountains, the exhausted Japanese army received the order of Shouichi in the temple, and if they were amnesty, they did not want to stay for a minute, and immediately began to return to Guiyang. It only took half a day In a short time, more than 30 Japanese troops walked cleanly.

In Mashan, at the headquarters of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Tang Qiuli was watching Yang Ketian's telegram to the west of Duyun. In addition to reporting in detail the news of the Japanese army's retreat, Yang Ketian also conveyed the opinions of the brigade commanders, immediately Soldiers dispatched busy, Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaikou followed and pursued the Japanese troops retreating westward from Guiyang, looking for an opportunity to annihilate part of them.

Tang Qiuli immediately replied to the telegram, denying the suggestion of Yang Ketian and others. The natural conditions are the same for both sides. The heavy weapons of his own army cannot be transported there. This kind of cheapness cannot be enjoyed, not to mention that the Japanese army is not retreating.

At the same time, they got the information that the Japanese troops who stayed on the front line of Wuming began to retreat to Nanning. According to the information, the Japanese troops retreated very nervously and at an extremely fast speed. Tang Qiuli said to Ma Chaoyang with the information in Yangyang's hands: " Commander Ma, Temple Shoutai has started to shrink his troops, and your big fish is about to run away, so we will see you next time."

After finishing speaking, Shi Shiran left the command post with his hands behind his back. The battle plan was determined, and he didn't need to worry about the next thing. On the way back to the room, Tang Qiuli asked Chen Feng to help him on the west front of Duyun. The eight brigades of the directly subordinate corps issued such an order, "All the troops stay in place and must find or open a road that can transport medium-sized equipment." [

He also ordered Chang Feng to lead four brigades to follow the lines of Guiding, Zunyi and Nanchuan while chasing and destroying the remnants of the Japanese No. As soon as Shou attacked Duyun's troops, he hurriedly withdrew to Guiyang and judged that Guiyang would become the main target of the Japanese army again.

I encircled and annihilated the No.15 Army of Fengwen Yamashita, and attracted the main force of the Japanese army that besieged Guiyang to move eastward. It has created more than [-] days of precious time for the Central Army in Guiyang. It's not within his ability.

The Japanese army retreated, and Guiyang became the target of Shouichi's attack again. It is unbelievable to say that the Japanese army has only one Seventh Army in the outskirts of Guiyang, with no more than [-] people, while the Central Army troops on the Guiyang defense line have more than [-] troops. There are tens of thousands of people, and the number of troops is more than six times that of the Japanese army.

But during this precious 20-odd days, the Guiyang defenders did not move at all. Without Yamashita Fubumi's concern, Terauchi Shouichi would no longer be distracted. He urgently needed a victory to encourage the No. 15 Japanese army. The entire army was wiped out, and the morale was low. The next day the main force returned to the periphery of Guiyang, they launched a large-scale attack on Guiyang.

On July 27, the Japanese army besieged Guiyang from three sides. On that day, the fighting was fierce. The Central Army lost all its outer positions and was forced to shrink into the city. More than 28 people were gradually compressed to the northwest of Guiyang City,

On the evening of July 31, Guiyang fell, and the Central Army Guiyang garrison was forced to retreat to Xifeng and Zunyi areas to re-arm.
