Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 130 chapters and five blood-stained Meng Mi

The Battle of Ban Mao ended successfully on the evening of July [-]th. In this campaign, the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, with three field infantry brigades, two tank brigades, a heavy artillery regiment belonging to the brigade, and three Thunder Rocket Battalions, wiped out the entire army. Nomura Toshihiko, the vanguard of the Japanese army marching northward, had two infantry divisions, a chariot brigade, and a cavalry regiment, with a total strength of more than [-] troops. More than a thousand people, with a clean victory, lifted the threat to the northern part of the Degang battlefield.

After the battle, Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, the deputy commander of the Independent Division and the commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, sent a detailed battle report to the division commander, "Master commander, our department ended the battle at [-] o'clock in the evening on July [-]th. After the Battle of Banmao, except for more than a thousand remnants of the Japanese army who fled into the deep mountains, all the remaining Japanese troops in this department were wiped out. I have already arranged two battalions of troops to follow up and attack."

Tang Qiusheng didn't say much, he knew very well that he fought smoothly, but on the southern front of Wubin, the blocking and flanking troops fought very hard. He ordered the troops who had cleaned up the battlefield to immediately replenish their medicines and put The wounded were transferred to the Myitkyina Field Hospital, and the troops were ready to go south immediately. All the strength of the Independent Division in northern Myanmar was used. It was impossible for the three brigades of our own to stay out of the incident.

In the early hours of July [-]th, Tang Qiusheng received a telegram from the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Brother Qiusheng, immediately lead the troops south to the front line of Wubin, and coordinate and command the troops on the front line of Wubin and Baodwin mining areas to stop Ito's main Japanese army." As we marched northward, the blocking battle on the front line of Wubin was quite tense, and the Japanese army under Ito's troops attacked fiercely, and the Battle of Degang could not be concluded as scheduled due to special circumstances." [

"Therefore, it is imperative and imperative to stop the main force of the Japanese army, go north to rescue the remaining Japanese troops in Degang, and eliminate the threat on our southern line. In addition, I have drawn three infantry brigades from the troops attacking Degang. A tank brigade unit was assigned to the blocking force. According to Chang Feng and Yu Guanghan's battle report last night, the situation in Wubin was not optimistic. The blocking force was under tremendous pressure. The speed rushed to the Ubin front line."

After fighting the Japanese for so many years, Tang Qiuli felt for the first time that he had fallen into such a passive situation. Even if he wanted to withdraw his troops from Degang, he could not do so now, leaving aside the remaining Japanese soldiers. Not to mention, even the more than 1000 soldiers surrounded in the canyon, he couldn't and couldn't give up.

Major General Zhongze is also considered a master. With the remaining soldiers, he restrained his four brigades of more than 6 troops, and he dared not let go of his hands and feet. Comfortable.

After Tang Qiusheng received the order, he led the troops south from Banmao at the fastest speed. From the assembly of the troops to the start of operations, the three infantry brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, one tank brigade, the artillery unit and other logistics units only used In less than an hour, Tang Qiusheng's foresight ability can be seen, which is also in line with his character, and he is planning ahead.

From Banmao to Degang, it took less than 100 hours for the troops led by Tang Qiusheng to arrive at Degang in the middle of the night on July [-]. Tang Qiuli was on the road leading to Degang On the main road, waiting for my cousin, the battle in northern Burma was unexpectedly unsuccessful, and all the focus was on blocking Ito's main Japanese army.

It is necessary to have a general who can coordinate the overall situation, and is calm and not impulsive, to command all the troops. This person, only Brother Qiu Sheng is the most suitable. Chang Feng and Yu Guanghan are both a little tender, so there is no chance. There is no room for any impulsiveness in Yan Yan's blocking battle.

Time was running out, brothers Tang Qiusheng and Tang Qiuli were on the side of the road, spreading out a military map to discuss some details. On the road, the snow-white headlights are on, and the torrent of steel rolling past seems insignificant.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division who rushed to the battlefield day and night would have thought that it was these flashlights that determined the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops. The third person didn't even have time to find a spacious room. It can be seen how much pressure Tang Qiuli was put on by the war situation on the southern front.

After more than 20 minutes, the staff put away the map. Tang Qiuli took his cousin's hand and said, "Brother Qiusheng, it is a difficult task to stop the Ito Japanese army. Now, I will send ten infantry brigades, four tank brigades and other The troops are all entrusted to you, and a difficult burden is also entrusted to brother Qiusheng, you have worked hard."

Don't need Tang Qiuli to say, Tang Qiusheng knew very well in his heart that when the Feng Jiwu Corps and Ma Chaoyang Corps did not rush to the battlefield in northern Myanmar, this was all the troops that the Independent Division could mobilize, more than 40 troops, against Ito's main force With nearly [-] Japanese troops, they were still at a disadvantage. However, Tang Qiusheng didn't say anything, but just shook his brother's hand tightly.

Now it is not a question of whether to fight or not, but that it must be fought. In the Degang Canyon, more than 2 soldiers surrounded by more than 1000 Japanese troops are the only ones that can hold back the independent division and cannot maneuver and flexibly deal with the Japanese army in northern Myanmar. Factor, Tang Qiusheng knew his responsibility, at this moment, a feeling of sharing life and death and being connected by blood suddenly flowed in the hearts of the two brothers.

Tang Qiuli went on to say: "Brother Qiusheng, in order to unify the command, I have issued an order to set up the Wubin Frontline Command, and you will be the commander in chief. You will take over the command from Chang Feng and Yu Guanghan and take full responsibility for the battle. The implementation, my attention, will be all on solving the Degang Japanese army."

The two brothers waved goodbye. Tang Qiusheng's car quickly disappeared into the night. Tang Qiuli occupied the side of the road for a long time. It was not until the troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps passed through Degang that they returned to the headquarters relatively easily. To solve the soldiers surrounded by the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli decided to use Chutian's special warfare detachment.

There are three special operations detachments, under the leadership of the detachment leader Colonel Chutian, are rushing to Degang, plus the No.18 detachment that was originally active in the Degang area, the special warfare detachment has more than 900 people, concentrated in Degang , This is also a matter of no solution. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is obviously not possible to fight hard. The only force Tang Qiuli can use is Chutian's special warfare detachment.

When Tang Qiusheng rushed to the front line of Wubin overnight, Major General Chang Feng, the chief of staff of the independent division and the chief of staff of the directly subordinate corps, commanded three brigades, and had fought fiercely with more than 40 Japanese troops for half a day and a night.

During this period of time, the independent division was under unprecedented pressure. When Chang Feng arrived at Ubin, the main force of Ito's Japanese army had already left Mengmi. Fierce gunfire, it was Yu Guanghan's flanking troops, attacking the Japanese army non-stop.

Chang Feng didn't even have time to check the terrain carefully. With his sharp eyes, he discovered a suitable place to establish a blocking front. It is located in the Baldwin mining area more than 20 kilometers south of Ubin. This is the largest mine in Myanmar. A large coal mine, the British have been mining it for decades, and the reserves are still very rich.

After many years of mining, there are countless mines around the mining area, high gangue piles, and the mountain road leading to Degang must pass through a mining area with a radius of more than 100 kilometers. Changfeng has set up the first mine in the Baldwin mining area. A blocking line, the Eighth Brigade of the Corps directly under it, and the Ninth Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps will take over the blocking task.

In Wubin, set up a second blocking line. The Eighth Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps will serve as the blocking force of the second line of defense. At the same time, it is also the general reserve. Like a nail, nail it firmly to the Baldwin Mine, "Actually, Chang Feng said this because of Nai. [

Two field infantry brigades, more than 3 people, are distributed in a vast area with a radius of more than 100 kilometers. Just throwing a few stones into a large lake will not cause much waves, but he has to do this. The road leading to Degang in the Wen mining area will be difficult to see in the north of Myanmar, and it is dangerous to guard.

Don't expect the brigade in Wubin to stop the Japanese troops breaking through the blocking line. The reason is very simple. There is a huge difference in troop strength. No matter how superior the firepower is, it cannot completely make up for the huge gap in troop strength. Therefore, the blocking troops on the front line cannot retreat even a single step.

The 3th Brigade directly under the Corps, the [-]th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and more than [-] soldiers rushed to the Baldwin mining area almost all the time. Screaming sounds came from far and near, and dozens of cannonballs fell on both sides of the road leading to Degang from the mining area.

The Japanese army rushed over more than 40 minutes earlier than expected. Then, seeing a large row of Japanese tanks parked neatly in the open space outside the mining area, Chang Feng quickly issued an order, "Stay hidden, this is a Japanese artillery test. Soon, the second round of guns will fall on the head." A few minutes later, more guns covered all possible hiding places and protrusions within a three-kilometer range on both sides of the road.

Chang Feng's headquarters was located in an abandoned mine, and he shouted into the receiver, "Don't rush to launch a counterattack, all troops must be well concealed, and wait until the Japanese army enters the best range before opening fire, and strive to give With the greatest damage, the Japanese artillery units must immediately observe the position of the Japanese artillery positions and must destroy the Japanese artillery that threatens us the most."

General Ito Yansaburo observed the effect of the bombardment with a telescope. His eyes were full of thick smoke and black dust, and he could not see anything. Ito put down the telescope in disappointment and set off from Mengmi. Along the way, the Japanese army It didn't go smoothly, Yu Guanghan's four brigade flanking troops, just like the annoying gadfly, stared at him steadfastly.

He kept coming out to take a bite and leave. From Mengmi to the Baldwin mining area, a short distance of tens of kilometers, the Japanese army led by Ito can be said to have fought over.
