Age of Rebirth

Xue Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Defense Line of the Central Army, fought the first battle in front of Loushan Pass quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly. After an hour and a half, the battle was ended neatly. When the main force of the Japanese army arrived, they only saw On the battlefield after the war, more than 1000 soldiers died.

After hearing the chief of staff's judgment, the head of Suzuki's division widened his eyes, and shouted in disbelief: "Hani? Impossible, a regiment, the entire army is wiped out, and it is absolutely impossible to survive. The Chinese government army did not do this. With its combat effectiveness, a large number of search troops will be dispatched immediately to find the whereabouts of the Nomura Regiment, and the radio station will keep calling until they find it.”

The chief of staff swallowed hard. He really wanted His Excellency, the head of the division, to go down to the foot of the mountain where the corpses of the soldiers of the imperial army were piled up. He wiped out more than 1000 soldiers of the imperial army in hand-to-hand combat, and the rest could still survive. hope?However, seeing that Suzuki's division commander was about to collapse, the chief of staff still gave an order to search.

In fact, Suzuki has basically believed in the judgment of the chief of staff, but what about the other 2000 people?Where did you go?There is a saying in China, "To live is to see people, to die is to see corpses." He holds a glimmer of hope, even though this hope is very slim in his heart, he still hopes for a miracle.

By three o'clock in the middle of the night, most of the search troops had already returned. With one exception, they brought news that left Suzuki in despair. These small Japanese troops searched cautiously and only searched the shelling area , As for the Loushanguan Highlands, they have not set foot at all. [

Loushan Pass in the night, like a dark beast, seemed to devour these foreign enemies, and the Japanese soldiers were all hairy, in fact.Most of them believed that the Nomura United Army was wiped out.Don't look at anything else.Just look at the countless pits, the broken clothes, and the broken weapons, which are enough to prove everything.

The flashlights all over the mountain were shining like will-o'-the-wisps.The soldiers of the Central Army on the top of the mountain had been alarmed a long time ago. The commander made a phone call to the general headquarters. Xue Yue had just laid down to rest when he was called up by the staff officer on duty. He took the phone and asked calmly, "Loushanguan Is the main peak guarding the army? What happened?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief. I am the garrison of the main position at Loushan Pass. Dai Anming, commander of the [-]nd, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions of the Fourth Army. A large number of Japanese troops have been found in the forward position. It should be that the main force of the Japanese army has arrived. However, they seem to be in the area after our shelling. What are you looking for, there are flashlights all over the mountain, ask the commander-in-chief, should our division go down the mountain to fuck him?" Dai Anming said excitedly, in his opinion, this is a golden opportunity.

Xue Yue was caught by Dai Anming's thoughts.Xiao Xiao was tempted, and hurriedly asked: "You see clearly. The main force of the Japanese army has arrived. How many Japanese troops searched the mountain? Are they approaching the forward position? Is there any sign of a large-scale attack? I want to know the real situation."

Dai Anming's very excited voice filled Xue Yue's ears, "Commander, the main force of the Japanese army, there are many car lights, and the sound of tank motors. In addition, judging by the light of the flashlight, no more than 2000 people will enter our shelling area." people, and they are scattered over a large area.”

Xue Yue couldn't believe his luck. No matter what the Japanese did, if he didn't take a bite of the fat that was brought to his mouth, he was sorry for the opportunity. He was determined to fight, and said solemnly: "Okay, I will Order your division to dispatch two regiments to covertly engage the enemy from the left and right directions. Remember, you only fight for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, you must withdraw to the main peak position. You must not love to fight. The Japanese army’s artillery preparation time will not More than three and ten minutes, is it clear?"

Dai Anming was overjoyed, and said: "Commander, just watch it, I'll lead the team to touch it personally, we don't need guns, but use grenades to kill these little devils." Xue Yue put down the phone, and immediately went to the headquarters to watch Kong Na On the side, the pitch-black mountains that the telescope lens was aimed at, from his angle, he could not directly see the upcoming battle, but it did not hinder his judgment of the battlefield situation.

After more than 20 minutes, the dull explosion sound came from a distance, and the flames from the explosion could be vaguely seen. Xue Yue listened carefully. An Ming and the Japanese army exchanged fire, and Xue Yue stared at his watch. Sure enough, after 10 minutes, no explosion was heard, and after a while, the gunfire gradually subsided.

Xue Yue nodded in satisfaction. Dai Anming was still very sensible and didn't get too greedy. If he was entangled by a large Japanese army or covered by Japanese artillery fire, the loss would be great. The phone on the table suddenly "jingling" in a hurry The phone rang, and Xue Yue picked up the phone, "Commander, it's so enjoyable. More than 4000 brothers, each with five grenades, threw them out all at once. The little devil was turned on his back, flesh and blood flew all over the place. It was a good fight. Conservative estimates, little one!" The devils put at least 1000 people in front of our position, we were not killed, only more than 30 were wounded." Dai Anming shouted loudly.

Xue Yue clapped his hands fiercely, and said: "Okay! Master Dai, brothers have worked hard, take a good rest, there will be a fierce battle tomorrow, pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army, don't be careless, report any situation at any time, I will send you a request from the second, third and third divisions." achievement."

Suzuki Saburo was going crazy. Within 1000 minutes, several search troops were blown up by the sudden grenades. After the main force surrounded them, these Chinese government soldiers disappeared into the night like ghosts. However, the Nomura United team failed to find it, and more than [-] people were brought in.

Suzuki's mood at this time can only be described as wanting to eat people. He was so unlucky that he joined a multi-regiment team before the official war started. He was sure that the Nomura Regiment was finished, and that the Chinese government army was in Loushan Pass. They are strictly arranged and ready to fight, but where does the combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers come from?

Unable to find the answer, suffering one after another, Suzuki was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. The confidential staff officer ran over, handed him a telegram with both hands, and said, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, the headquarters of the dispatched army is calling, and I want you to read it yourself."

Suzuki Saburo took a look at the telegram, and his nose was almost crooked, "Commander Suzuki, your troops have already arrived at Loushan Pass, why don't you launch an attack immediately, and fail to complete the combat tasks assigned by the general headquarters on time, what will happen to you?" I know, and besides, what was the result of the Nomura United team? Why didn't they report it? The signature is General Kotobuki Terauchi."

Full of accusations and questioning, Saburo Suzuki was furious and tore up the telegrams several times. Like a wounded wolf, he yelled "Baga". It was more than 100 kilometers, and I didn't know the situation, so I was forced to attack. The enemy's situation was unknown, and it was dark at night. Is this battle going to be fought?If you hadn't pressed so hard, I wouldn't have been able to join a regiment of troops, and I didn't even see the shadow of the soldiers of the Chinese government army.

He yelled loudly, "Call back to the general headquarters." The confidential staff officer who was standing beside him trembled in fright, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Nomura Regiment of our division entered Loushan on time at [-] o'clock yesterday evening. Before the pass, however, because the regiment leader Nomura rushed forward underestimated the enemy, he fell into the encirclement of the Chinese government army, and everyone was crushed."

"Based on the situation on the battlefield, the Chinese government army has already set up a tight line of defense at Loushan Pass. If they attack rashly, the artillery fire will not be ready. Night battles are not the specialty of our imperial army. The Chinese soldiers occupy a favorable terrain, and the casualties will be huge. Our division has decided to deal a devastating blow to the Chinese government forces at Loushan Pass after dawn, and also to build positions for the artillery to buy time," said Suzuki Saburo.

Suzuki is going all out, this old bastard knows the order to attack, and he doesn't ask the actual situation. My artillery has just been unloaded from the tractor, and there are quite a few tanks. Is it possible to climb the mountain?In this way, to attack the position of the Chinese government army that is firmly defended, the Suzuki division must be disabled. I just disobeyed orders and disrespected. At worst, I will quit this troubled division commander. It is better to break the can and throw it than to order the soldiers to go to the so-called Jade broken.

Received Suzuki Saburo's call back, Terauchi Shouichi was also startled. Before the fight started, a regiment was gone. Suzuki was very angry. It was only two or three hours before dawn, so he forgave him this time. [

Terauchi Shouichi chose to compromise, and also forgave Suzuki's courtesy and disobedience, but who knows, my inner anxiety, my hands on Chongqing, my heart on Nanning, that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, made such a big commotion in the direction of Nanning , It was forcing me to return to reinforce Nanning and break the siege of Chongqing. Therefore, time is very precious to the dispatched troops from the south. Shouyi felt it and his head hurt badly.

Under the command of Wu Ming, Tang Qiuli, who gradually compressed the encirclement of the Japanese army in Nanning, received the information that Xue Yue had won the first battle at Loushan Pass and wiped out a regiment of the Japanese army after more than an hour. He was also very happy. Gu Zhutong, that idiot Qiang, this victory can at least help the Central Army fight for a month longer, is he confident enough?

Chang Feng, chief of staff, was very happy to see Tang Qiuli, and reminded: "Master, in your name, should I send a congratulatory telegram to the Nationalist Government and Xue Yue himself?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, Chairman Jiang looks at me now, I am almost like the Japanese, and finally I have Xue Yue who can fight, don't mislead our kindness, he originally Just suspicious, thinking that I want to miss Xue Yue, won’t it make Chairman Jiang lose sleep? Let’s not do things that are thankless!” Tang Qiuli and Chang Feng laughed at the same time.

On August [-]th, as soon as the sky brightened, Xue Yue, who had only slept for less than three hours, was the first to arrive at the front headquarters. In the quiet morning scenery of northern Guizhou, in the mist, a large area of ​​fire suddenly flashed, followed by a muffled sound like rolling thunder, rippling in the early morning air.

Xue Yue's fist clenched, and the Japanese army began to attack. Moreover, judging from the intensity of the shelling, there were at least 1000 artillery pieces. As soon as the Japanese army made a move, a thunderous blow came.
