Age of Rebirth

Chapter [-] Reason

The troops were busy constructing fortifications on the west bank of the tributary of the Qingzhang River. With such terrain conditions, the only barrier they could rely on was this small river that had already been covered with a thick layer of ice. It was hoped that the ice surface would be as smooth as a mirror, so that the attacking Japanese army , slow down and give the troops more time to counterattack.

Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming checked back and forth anxiously. They were not afraid of the battle, but they were afraid that after the battle started, other nearby Japanese troops would quickly surround them. The division commander was blinded by hatred. They could not change the division commander's decision. We can do our best to reduce the losses of the troops.

The independent division troops were busy building fortifications, and the Japanese army was not idle either. They were holding a military meeting, all because of a word from the Japanese special agent Xu Fu. He reported to the head of the Japanese army division. Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division, personally commanded the front In the army, he heard the voices of those Chinese soldiers calling the division commander. In the Taihang Mountains, the person called the division commander must be Tang Qiuli, and there is no other squadron.

The division commander of the Japanese army was surprised and delighted. To his surprise, Tang Qiuli, the nemesis of the imperial army, was right in front of him. Could it be that he wanted to attack his division?Fortunately, after going deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains for many days, no trace of the independent division was found. Tang Qiuli suddenly jumped out. This is a golden opportunity. [

He asked Matsushita, who had lost half of his ears, ran away with bandages, and was extremely embarrassed, about the battle in Sucheng. There were less than 2000 people before, and more than 1 Chinese troops later, that's all?

Why faced with the strength of one of his main divisions, not only did he not retreat, but instead built fortifications on the spot, as if he wanted to fight himself decisively, with Tang Qiuli's illustrious reputation, would he make such a low-level mistake, no no , there must be a conspiracy in it, the imperial army in North China has never suffered from Tang Qiuli's loss, very few, maybe Panasonic can survive the jade fragment, it is also part of the conspiracy.

Tang Qiuli should have attracted himself to take the initiative to attack, and then he mobilized other troops to surround the entire division here. The more the Japanese division commander surveyed, the more he felt that things were not so simple. , was frightened by being beaten by Tang Qiuli, with tens of thousands of troops in hand, far superior to the opponent, but did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but adopted a wait-and-see attitude, which is rare in the history of Japanese army division-level combat move.

At the meeting, the head of the division of the Japanese army made careful arrangements. There was only one principle. All brigades and regiments should defend on the spot and not take any offensive actions in order to attract the independent division troops as the ultimate combat goal. After the meeting ended, he This situation was immediately reported to Chief of Staff Yamaguchi who commanded the operation.

Shankou was overjoyed when he heard the news. He fished everything with a net, was empty-handed, and caught nothing. He consumed a lot of military supplies, exhausted the soldiers of the imperial army, burned down several houses, but did not fight a single battle. How to explain to Commander Xiangyue.

Yamaguchi is worried, he doesn't think about food and drink, his head has been pulled out, and there are not many hairs left, and he looks more and more like a big gourd. Good news came from Qinquan, and it was the army commanded by the devil himself. Many days of bad luck were swept away, and several orders were issued one after another. All the troops who swept up the Taihang Mountains immediately moved towards Qinquan to participate in the battle of Taihang Mountains.

His judgment is basically the same as that of the division commander of the Japanese army. Behind Tang Qiuli, his main force is hidden, and the purpose is to eat up the imperial army of a division. Well, use this division as bait to kill Tang Qiuli. Catch it, and then gather all the troops for a decisive battle. The mountain pass is sure, and there are not many troops in the independent division of Taihang Mountain.

After receiving the order, the Japanese troops immediately changed their marching direction, gave up their original attack target, and moved closer to Qinquan. Trembling with fright, Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming took a defensive position. Only then did Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming have time to arrange things calmly, and it was dark until dark. If it were the other squadrons, the Japanese army had already fired a fierce bombardment, and the infantry swarmed over to kill them. .

At nightfall, the Ma Chaoyang Division of the Second Independent Brigade was the forward offensive force, and the Jiang Yanming Division of the Huangyadong Garrison Brigade was the second echelon. After a short period of artillery preparation, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army in front of them. Abandoning the position and retreating, the second line of defense of the Japanese army was also attacked.

The smoother the battle, the more disappointed Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming felt. A division of the Japanese army couldn't help but fight, right?When they retreated, they didn't panic, but took a step-by-step approach. The direction of retreat was due east of Qinquan, which was the starting direction of the Japanese army's attack on Taihang Mountain. The Japanese army was deliberately luring us to pursue it in depth.

The situation is not good. The two of them discussed it. From the attacking troops, three battalions of patients were drawn out, and they went to the two flanks of the troops forty kilometers and [-] kilometers behind. The troops of the independent division attacked more violently. The more he believed in his own judgment, the easier it was to retreat. He kept receiving reports that the Chinese army was catching up and the fish had bit the bait.

Fighting fiercely all the way, the troops had pursued for more than 30 kilometers, and the Japanese troops that were wiped out were very small. In the flames of the explosion, Ma Chaoyang was shocked to find that the division commander was rushing in front of the troops, followed by only seven or eight guards, and tracers were flying around him. From time to time, a column of smoke from an explosion blocked Ma Chaoyang's sight, and his heart tightened for a while.

At this time Tang Qiuli had already entered a state of madness. Watching the Japanese soldiers fall down like wooden piles under the shooting of Tang Long's gun, his heart felt a kind of joyful madness, and the pain in his heart was accompanied by the joyful dancing The son got relieved and caught a Japanese second lieutenant. He put the muzzle of the gun on the Japanese second lieutenant's forehead, "Say, in which direction is the Matsushita Regiment?"

This guy looked at Tang Qiuli dumbfounded, with a demented expression on his face, a little second lieutenant, how could he know the retreat sequence of the troops, Tang Qiuli pulled the trigger, and all the shuttles poured into his head and caught him. None of the six or seven Japanese soldiers knew the exact location of the Matsushita Regiment, with one exception being headshot by Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli rushed wherever the gunshots were the densest. The guards who followed him did not dare to dissuade him. Three people were injured, and one of them was seriously injured. If it wasn't for their own duties, they would not have suffered any damage in such a battle.

Ma Chaoyang hurriedly dispatched his own guard battalion there, and ordered the battalion commander to take extraordinary measures. He must escort the division commander back to the headquarters. If the division commander shoots you, I will posthumously recognize you as a martyr. Remember, any of us can lose his head. The teacher can't even hurt a single hair.

Watching the guard battalion soldiers leave, Ma Chaoyang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, God, why did he rush to the front, where is Captain Huang?If the teacher did anything good or bad, he would have to explain to hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Independence. The old brigade commander hadn't shot himself. He was too aware of the deep relationship between Su Jingfeng and the teacher.

After chasing for more than ten kilometers, the Japanese army stopped retreating. The brigade closest to them approached. The two Japanese troops joined together, and their strength had reached more than 4. They joined hands to form a solid line of defense. Light and heavy machine guns The blow was as violent as a gust of wind, and in the night, the seeds were dense like locusts, weaving into a web of death, and the troops could not attack.

When the Brigade Sharp Knife Battalion withdrew, only the battalion commander, covered in blood and with a thick bandage on his head, came to report to the brigade commander with less than [-] wounded soldiers. The battalion commander was ashamed. He was on a mission, looking for the location of the Panasonic United team, but he couldn't find it after fighting all the way. [

During the last attack, the defensive firepower of the Japanese army suddenly more than doubled, and he had to withdraw. Ma Chaoyang didn't mean to blame him at all, and ordered him to get up and rest quickly, and hand over the task to other battalions. The warrior covered in scars staggered towards the back, Ma Chaoyang's heart ached violently.

This is one of his main camps, with more than 700 people, and has never suffered such a big loss. He has made great achievements in all previous battles, and the tip of the knife has been broken.

Then, he rushed to the command post in a hurry, no matter what, he had to persuade the division commander to withdraw from the battle immediately. The situation was very bad. The Japanese army suddenly stopped retreating and their firepower increased greatly. And other reinforcements are encircling here. If they don't break away from the battle, they will be surrounded by Japanese devils.

On the way, I met Jiang Yanming, who had the same idea. In his brigade headquarters, he received even more ominous news. The troops on alert on both wings reported that a large number of Japanese troops were concentrating in the direction of Qinquan from the north and the south. Four hours later, they arrived here, and they were closely monitoring the actions of the Japanese army.

The news was also reported from the side and rear. No Japanese army was found within [-] kilometers, which made them both heave a sigh of relief.

Seeing them, Tang Qiuli asked furiously, "Why did you stop the attack? Where is Seiichi Matsushita? Where is Xu Fu? Have you found the position of the Matsushita United team? How many people have died? Are you afraid? Well, you guys get out of here." The position of the brigade commander, I will command the troops," asked the two brigade commanders like a cannonball, and the two brigade commanders couldn't answer. It's all unknown.

The people in the headquarters looked at each other, changed, the division commander changed, and became like a stranger. They had never seen this kind of speech to a subordinate. The words were harsh, arrogant, and every word was heart-wrenching. Chief of Staff Yu Guanghan, Investigation Department Chief Shen Jun and Director of Intelligence Yu Deshui looked at each other, then shook their heads helplessly. There was an unbearable silence, only the sound of Tang Qiuli's angry roar.

Shanhu, who is covered in gunpowder, knows the root of Tang Qiuli's changes best. At this time, there is only one person who can dissuade him, and that is Mei Ting. In the past, when Xiaoqiu lost his mind in the Northeast, Xiao Ling came to persuade her, and he quietly walked towards Mei Ting.
