Age of Rebirth

The Japanese were forced to evacuate from Yangon. General Genzaburo Ito, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, left sadly with extreme melancholy. Those who should and should not be left behind were left behind. It was his choice. With the occupation of Yangon by the Independent Division, the city has a new owner, and the flag of the sun is quietly falling.

Sure enough, Tang Qiuli was not disappointed. At the left-behind troops of the 29th Corps, he once again saw a huge amount of treasure that dazzled him. The amount was almost the same as the first time he saw it. Such an unexpected huge fortune , Let Tang Qiuli have a new idea and invest in the development of new weapons and equipment.

According to his experience from later generations, developing and developing new weapons and equipment is a costly job. Without sufficient funds to guarantee the completion of the project, when these gold and silver treasures were transported back to Kunming, Tang Qiuli gave them to the head of the logistics department Zhang Major General Quan sent a special telegram, "Minister Zhang, set up a special account for this money as a special fund for the development of new weapons and equipment by the Military Industry Bureau. The specific use is in your hands."

When they returned to Yangdong Qianzhi, Tang Qiuli couldn't suppress his excitement, and he beamed with Tang Qiusheng, describing the process of discovering the gold and silver treasures that Ito had looted and finally falling into his own hands. Son, seeing Tang Qiusheng couldn't help laughing, as his cousin, sometimes he still hasn't escaped from the mind of a young man. Normally, he shouldn't be so forgetful about the number of gold and silver treasures he has seen. Therefore, Tang Qiusheng's love for Tang Qiuli The performance, summed up in one point, the overall situation of the Indochina Peninsula has been decided, and it is caused by a happy mood.

Seeing that Tang Qiuli was happy, Le Yiqin came over and said, "Master, the Battle of Yangon is over, what do you think Liu Cuigang and I will do?" "Waiting for the arrangement", Le Yiqin turned off the fire at that time.I almost collapsed, I usually do a lot of work, and I have no part in going to Yangon city.The battle is over, but I have a role to be assigned, where can I justify it? [

With the victory of the Battle of Yangon, the Yangon Frontline Headquarters of the Independent Division was officially abolished. As the highest command organization of the Independent Division, the division headquarter was stationed in Yangon City from Central East on December 22.The troops composed of four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Regiment of the Independent Division entered the city from the west and north of Yangon, and held a grand entry ceremony at the same time. Tanks and trucks towing artillery formed a long queue with no front and rear.

The troops and soldiers who entered the city all put on brand-new military uniforms, wearing white gloves, and stood on the car with a dignified military appearance.The citizens of Yangon rushed to the streets, looking at the Chinese soldiers with joy, fear, or suspicion.Secretly thinking about his future way out, those guys who used the power of the Japanese to harm the Chinese and overseas Chinese during the Japanese rule had a gloomy light in their eyes.

According to the practice of the military circle, if the army enters the city first, that army will serve as the honor guard for entering the city. This is an honor. Yangon was defeated by the Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the No.20 Ninth Corps .It stands to reason that two corps should serve as troops entering the city, and Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander and frontline commander of the Yangon Battle, also meant this.

However, the 29th Corps headed south in the starry night, followed by the Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the directly subordinate Corps.The Sulu Mobile Corps, which did not participate in the general attack on Yangon, picked up a big steamed bun with cold hands. For this reason, the division commander Tang Qiuli also called Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang to explain the situation. Feng and Li's reply was very simple: "Mr. You worry too much, Yangon was defeated by our independent division, not the honor of any individual unit."

Tang Qiuli thought about it too, and even handed over to Tang Qiusheng the commander-in-chief of the city entry ceremony. When almost everyone in Yangon was empty, and watching the Chinese army enter the city, Tang Qiuli led Liu Xinlan, Shanhu and the special guard team, quietly Entering the city of Yangon, the new headquarters of the division is the original headquarters of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force.

As soon as he entered the villa area, Tang Qiuli couldn't stop praising him, "Ito is very discerning and will enjoy himself. This is the best location in Yangon." He walked around the villa, and then I went to Ito's office to check it out. The furniture and office facilities in the house were in good condition. You can work as soon as you come in. Ito probably left in a hurry and didn't have time to destroy it.

Leaning against the wall of the huge nanmu desk, there was a portrait of Emperor Hirohito, before he could take it away. Tang Qiuli rested his chin on his left hand, and looked at the portrait of Hirohito with great interest. , with an unfathomable and domineering posture, it looks like that, "I don't know, after getting the news that Ito lost Rangoon and lost to the Malay Peninsula, what will this so-called demigod guy do?" What kind of expression is it?" He thought to himself a little evilly.

Footsteps sounded behind him, Shanhu came in, Tang Qiuli pointed to Yuren's portrait, and said to Shanhu: "Huzi, do you know who this is?" Shanhu took a look and said disdainfully: "Who knows it's that Lynx Beast, anyway, it’s not a fun thing at first glance, why are you hanging on to him, I took it out and left it, so as not to see him unable to eat!”

As he said that, Shan Hu reached out his hand, took off the portrait, raised his hand and threw it outside. The portrait of the idol-level figure of the people of the island country was doing free fall, and after a few somersaults, it was mixed with a ball of torn rags. Seemingly Sun Qi went with him, but Shanhu moved so fast that Tang Qiuli didn't have time to stop it.

Tang Qiuliyu, the spiritual idol of the island country, is said to be a demigod who farts like a god, but Shanhu didn't know him, so he couldn't help but said: "Huzi, I want you to read more books, you Don’t listen, this is His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, the spiritual pillar of the Japanese, keep him hanging across from my desk, and meet this buddy several times a day, maybe there is an inspiration burst, maybe you are good, throw it outside !"

Shan Hu was surprised and said: "What? It's the leader of the little devil in our hometown. Why didn't you say it earlier, it's too cheap for him to leave him like this." The burst shot knocked the portrait of Emperor Hirohito into pieces of paper. When the gunshot rang out, the special guards responded instantly. Shanhu blew on the muzzle of the gun and shouted at the special guards: "The alarm is lifted, I'm practicing marksmanship."

Tang Qiu looked at Shanhu in disbelief. This brother is definitely a fierce man, and he is too violent. Thanks to him giving such a reason to practice marksmanship, the two wanted to follow to the yard. Chief of Staff Yang Ketian and Liu Xinlan Coming over, Yang Ketian handed Tang Qiuli a telegram, saying: "Master, Commander Hantie of the Marine Corps has called to report the progress of the campaign to capture Hainan Island."

Tang Qiuli opened it and took a look, "Master, our department was ordered to capture Hainan Island. After three days of fierce fighting from the 22th to the [-]nd, at about [-] o'clock this morning, we captured the line from Haikou to Zhanzhou, Tunchang, and Qionghai. Retreat to Wuzhishan and Limuling to defend, and the resistance is quite tenacious. At present, the fighting is fierce and the battle is in a stalemate."

After reading it, Tang Qiuli frowned. The strength of the Japanese army on Hainan Island was only about 6000 people, while the Marine Corps of Hantie had more than 8 troops, as well as the bomber fleet of the Southern Aviation Group and The air coordination of the fighter group, not to mention the weapons and equipment and the morale of the troops, is enough to sweep Hainan Island in three days. Why did it become a stalemate?Where is the problem?

Is it because the combat effectiveness of the Marine Corps is not good, or is there a problem with tactics and troop deployment, or is Han Tie's command ability questionable?Of course, these questions just flashed through Tang Qiuli's mind. He had no reason to doubt Han Tie's command ability, that is, there was a problem in tactics, or the Japanese commander of Hainan Island was an extremely cunning and difficult man. Deal with the guy.

On the Hainan Island battlefield, the comparison of the enemy's and our own's weapons and equipment, and the situation on the battlefield are the least of Tang Qiuli's worries, but something went wrong, which puzzled him a lot. His call back to Han Tie was very simple, "Han Tie Don't rush for success, fight steadily, advance step by step, compress the Japanese army to one place, and then gather and annihilate them, and report the details of the battle, and if you can't do anything, stop the attack first."

In Qionghai, Hainan Island, at the Hainan Island Campaign Headquarters of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division, Han Tie has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and his eyes are red. He is under a lot of pressure now. The loss was huge, but he did not follow the original plan to capture all of Hainan Island, which made him very angry while anxious.

Before the start of the campaign, according to Hantie's prediction, the main force of the Japanese army could be wiped out on the line from Haikou to Tunchang. It took two days to occupy the entire territory of Hainan Island, and then report the victory to the division commander. Contrary to his expectations, he fought for three days and only entered one-third of the island, but the troops could no longer advance, and the remaining Japanese troops disappeared.

Without an opponent, holding an iron fist for nothing, but can't find the target, how to fight this battle?The troops boarded the ship from Xuwen and Haian on the Leizhou Peninsula and crossed the Qiongzhou Strait. The Japanese gunboats and patrol boats cooperated very well and intercepted them on the center line of the strait. Smoked, sank into the sea, and, unluckily, was blown to pieces on the spot. [

The Qiongzhou Strait at this time is the season of high winds, rough waves, and white waves. If it is a sailboat, no matter what, it is impossible to cross the Qiongzhou Strait. Fortunately, the marines use ships, so they are not affected by the weather. Xu, the wind and waves have calmed down, which is suitable for landing, and the speed of the fleet has increased significantly.

By ten o'clock in the morning, all the troops reported that they were approaching the landing site. According to the deployment of the campaign, the troops were divided into three groups from the left, middle and right, and landed in Lingaojiao, Qiaotou, Macun, Xinhai, Haikou, and Dongying respectively. Hantie followed The Central Route Army landed in Haikou.

In Han Tie's telescopic lens, he saw a coastline like a black line. Twenty minutes later, the artillery on the Japanese beachhead, the thick barrel, was clearly visible. Han Tie ordered the combat staff, "Give fire support The convoy signaled to cover the Japanese artillery positions."
