Age of Rebirth

The scorched-earth shelling area was full of desolation, and the shambling figures of the two soldiers seemed extraordinarily lonely and stubborn. Tang Qiuli handed the binoculars to Shanhu beside him, and said, "Huzi, send someone to find out where The two soldiers came back, but our troops did not attack, they should be Zheng Yong's artillery observers, and their situation is very dangerous."

Shanhu took a look through the binoculars, and whispered a few words to a squad leader behind him. A group of soldiers from the guard brigade drove out quickly. Tang Qiuli said to Liu Xinlan: "Order, the troops on the front line of Meng Mi, attack immediately!" In addition, except for two regiments left to clean the battlefield, all the troops of each regiment reoccupied Mogok and pushed into the Japanese defense line in the Libao Grand Canyon.

Turning around, he said to Shan Hu: "Let's go, Hu Zi, let's go to the front and see the two soldiers carrying stretchers." More than [-] guards surrounded Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu and walked out of the headquarters. , Tang Qiuli saw Liu Xinlan following him every step of the way, frowned slightly, and said to Liu Xinlan: "Staff Liu, don't go, stay at the division headquarters!" [

Liu Xinlan wanted to say something, but she didn't say it, she just paid a military salute and turned back, Tang Qiuli didn't notice that the little girl's face was slightly red, just now, Liu Xinlan caught Tang Qiuli's gaze, Seeing the deep concern, it was a natural expression. Maybe Tang Qiuli didn't feel it, it was just a subconscious approach, or it was an instinctive love.

In the south of Mengmi, a hill that has not been attacked by artillery fire looks extraordinarily lush and green on the scorched-earth battlefield. On the plain at the foot of the hill, there are tanks and a large number of infantry. The stream of iron is rolling, and the soldiers are like a tide, stepping on the land after the baptism of artillery fire.Go in the direction of Mogok.Such a scene, whoever saw it, would have their blood racing.

To be honest, several corps commanders.The division commander's order to leave two regiments to clean up the battlefield was considered superfluous.Given the situation on the battlefield after the bombardment, it would be a miracle to be able to pick out a complete [-] Gail.Who doesn't know Zheng Yong's ruthlessness.Hundreds of thousands of cannonballs were dropped, and Japanese soldiers could be seen alive. Isn't it like discovering Bao'er?

Tang Qiuli folded his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly squinted, watching the spectacular scene in front of him, the wind in the early autumn afternoon in central Myanmar.Blowing through his mottled hair, he lifted a corner of his military trench coat from time to time.The wings are as flamboyant as they want to fly. Whoever has such a stream of iron in their hands will have the ambition to be proud of the world, even Tang Qiuli is no exception.

More than a dozen soldiers from the guard brigade were carrying a stretcher. Different from their neat military uniforms, two soldiers with ragged faces were blackened by gunpowder smoke, and they were holding one end of the stretcher tightly, as if they were afraid of the most precious thing. As if if you let go of the things you want, you will lose them. Tang Qiuli hurried down the mountain to the side of the stretcher.

On the stretcher was a soldier of indeterminate age, covered in blood, and in a coma. Tang Qiuli asked softly, "Which unit are you from? Who is the injured?" The two ordinary soldiers obviously did not see each other. After Tang Qiuli, however, the four golden general stars on his shoulders and his imposing aura show that this is an unusual character.

Faced with the question, he seemed a little at a loss, and the captain of the guard sub-team said in a low voice: "This is our teacher, what is he asking you?" Two ordinary soldiers trembled all over, and one of them, who was slightly older, immediately stood at attention and saluted, " Report to the division commander, Wang Manjiang, a member of the second observation team of the third artillery group of the ** Division, salutes you, and the injured is our team leader Sergeant Meng Xiaozhu."

Tang Qiuli looked up in surprise, and said, "Who was the one who first discovered the Japanese attacking troops and passed the information to the Artillery Command? How did he get injured?~~

ef-net

-Update~~huzi, hurry up, call the military doctor immediately," the two soldiers choked up, and told the whole story, when they heard that Meng Xiaozhu, risking the artillery fire and dying at any time, found the Japanese artillery position, and then, was killed Tang Qiuli's eyes became moist after being injured by his own cannon.

Just such an ordinary soldier, whose vigilance and spirit of sacrifice provided first-hand information for this unprecedented shelling. All the victories of the Grand Division are due to these soldiers who silently made sacrifices. The generals who command thousands of troops and thousands of artillery are majestic. They are the dazzling stars on this war stage, and all the halos are focused on them.

Has anyone ever thought deeply about the halo on the general's body, lit up by hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers like Meng Xiaozhu with their own blood and even their lives? He asked the military doctor in a low voice, "How is the condition of the wounded?"

The military doctor replied with a serious face: "Report to the commander, the situation is very bad, because the cannon exploded at a close range, the slice cut into the body very deep, and there is a lot of bleeding. If you don't operate immediately, your life may be in danger." The field hospital in China," "Master, our field hospital on the front line doesn't have the corresponding equipment, so I'm afraid we can't do such a complicated operation," the military doctor replied sadly.

Tang Qiuli glanced at Meng Xiaozhu, whose face was pale and in a coma, and said to Chen Feng, the director of communications: "Immediately transfer my special plane to the temporary airport in Myitkyina, and send Meng Xiaozhu to Dingbian General Hospital. At the same time, with my Send a telegram to the Bian General Hospital in name, no matter what the cost, we must save this soldier, he is our hero.”

For an ordinary soldier, the special plane of the No. [-] commander of the Grand Division was used. This matter quickly spread among all the troops on the front line. Tang Qiuli did not do this for show. The influence of hundreds of thousands of soldiers exceeded his estimation, and the morale and morale of the army were unprecedentedly condensed and raised.

Compared with the high-spirited momentum of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Japanese Army Division who pushed into the Libao Grand Canyon, the city of Mandalay and the headquarters of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Army were full of gloom and mist. In the battle, 10,000+ soldiers of the Imperial Army remained, which put great psychological pressure on Ito Gensaburo.

I have not yet regained my vitality. The Southeast Asian dispatched army just added, in the battle of Mogok, lost about 10,000+ troops. Although Ito was mentally prepared for this, he was defeated so badly and so quickly. There was not a single surviving soldier, and he still surpassed him What made Ito's heart ache even more was the prediction that, after paying such a heavy casualty, it didn't cause any loss to the Grand Division troops.

In other words, the 10,000+ soldiers of the imperial army in his six divisions were engulfed by artillery fire for several hours before they even saw the infantry of the ** division. Ito didn't know how to explain such a disastrous defeat to the base camp. He also had no reason to explain that if such a large casualty occurred in a normal offensive and defensive battle or a positional battle, Ito could accept it, and the base camp could also understand it. [

Facing the main force of the ** Division, the Southeast Asian dispatched army was already at a disadvantage. The base camp also knew that the Burmese battle plan was done with every effort. In this way, the lives of 10,000+ imperial soldiers were ruined. Itofa confessed that it was himself What will the base camp think, and what will His Majesty the Emperor think of it, if the command error or the unclear judgment of the battlefield situation lead to such disastrous consequences?

Everything made Ito feel flustered and he didn't know what to do. He had already received a report from the commander of the defense line of the Libao Grand Canyon that the main force of the Grand Division had come out to reoccupy Mogok and pushed into Libao. Judging according to the situation , It is possible to launch an attack on the Imperial Army's Libao defense line at any time. With the shelling that could blow up several mountains in the morning, the defense line of the Libao Grand Canyon, which the Japanese commander regarded as a natural danger, is not so safe.

This is not the place that puts the greatest pressure on Ito and makes him feel terrifying. With the current strength of the Libao Grand Canyon defense line, the imperial army can certainly do nothing to attack, but Tang Qiuli can even rely on the dangerous terrain to defend. Breaking through this line of defense will also break a few teeth. Don't even think about stepping over the line of defense without paying the price of 10,000+ people.

At this moment, Ito hopes that Tang Qiuli's main force will immediately attack the defense line of the Libao Grand Canyon. He has also planned to fight to the death with the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli right here. In the end, the entire dispatched army will be smashed, and he will be dead in the wilderness His fate was also for the sake of His Majesty's Burma campaign plan, shed the last drop of blood, which is worthy of the reputation of a general of the Imperial Japanese Empire.

But Tang Qiuli didn't follow his mind. Just now, a telegram sent by the staff officer made Ito's desperate thoughts come to naught. The greatest tragedy of being a soldier is that if you want to work hard, your opponent will not give you a chance. I want to hold my breath and bump into it, but the opposite is air.

The telegram reads, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, on the morning of October [-]th, the Chinese Army Division marched eastward and besieged Taunggyi. The battle ended at [-]:[-] p.m. on that day, and all the guards of our Dongzhi Imperial Army were crushed, and Taunggyi fell to the enemy." Before committing suicide by caesarean section, I sent a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief, hoping that Your Excellency will quickly dispatch heavy troops to retake Taunggyi and Leigu, otherwise, our Empire of Japan dispatched troops to Southeast Asia will be caught in the front and back attack of the ** division troops .”

This telegram is the last telegram sent by Nakano, the commander of the Japanese Army's Taunggyi garrison, before he had a caesarean section. Don't let the already dead Nakano say that Ito knows better than anyone that Taunggyi and Leigu have been lost. The road for the army to withdraw to Yangon to the south has been cut off. What awaits us, other than being encircled and fighting for the last person, is there any way out?

At the same time, Tang Qiuli was also looking at the telegram sent by Feng Jiwu, "Master, our Eastern Front Group has conquered Taunggyi and Leigu, and in fact cut off the channel for the Japanese army to withdraw to the south. Ask for instructions on the next move." Direction," Tang Qiuli said to Liu Xinlan with a calm smile on his lips, "Record, the Eastern Front Combat Group will immediately push into Mandalay from the eastern direction, make a gesture of capturing the place, and wait for the next step of the division. Order."
