Age of Rebirth

Chapter 510 IX Finally Figured Out Taihang Mountain

After reading the summary of the battles in the past few days, Tang Qiuli applauded. This battle made them fight hard. With more than 10,000 troops, they disturbed [-]+ Japanese soldiers day and night, and even slept with their eyes half open. It's not enough to be clever, maybe a gang of killing gods will emerge, even so, it is impossible to guard against, thousands of miles away, there are battlefields everywhere in the Taihang Mountains.

This is clearly one of the old man's famous guerrilla tactics, the sparrow war, but this is an improved version of the sparrow war, because what he released was a flock of eagles, and he didn't use earthen guns or cannons. The little devil is not an opponent, and the Japanese army will be ripped apart with one mouthful. But at this time, the CCP’s Red Army is still living in a corner of northern Shaanxi, and has not officially entered the stage of history. The old man’s theory of "protracted war" will be released a few years later .

Later, Tang Qiuli was itchy to see it, and without telling the heads of other departments of the division headquarters, he whispered to Shanhu, led the guard brigade, ran a long distance of more than 100 kilometers, quietly touched a Japanese logistics supply base, and sentry the Japanese sentry on guard. , wiped his neck with a dagger, and killed a squadron of Japanese soldiers, carried away what he could take, and burned the rest. When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they saw only ashes everywhere and the charred corpses of their comrades , and the lingering smoke.

After a few days of Eagle Attack, Yamaguchi suffered a loss of troops and was in a passive position. Due to the situation, he had to change his tactics and gather troops. The Japanese troops who went deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains retreated one after another and concentrated in the direction of Shexian County. After receiving the information, Tang Qiuli didn't intend to let the Japanese army who had been rampant in the base area for more than [-] days retreat so easily. After burning the house and destroying the house, they just wanted to pat their ass and leave. How could there be such a cheap thing? [

He issued a new call for battle, an all-out attack, using volleys, ambushes, attacks, etc., to do everything possible to eliminate the Japanese army. In a word, fight as you like, even if you throw a few stones, as long as you can kill the little devil.

In addition, he also ordered the Huangyadong base area to print a large number of leaflets. The name is scary enough. The three big characters in bright red are "Pursuing and Killing Order". Li Xun, the Japanese Matsushita unit slaughtered more than [-] innocent civilians in one day, and created the Sucheng massacre that shocked the whole country. Their behavior of beasts is heinous, and the people and gods are all angry. Annihilate this regiment. All Japanese soldiers belonging to the Matsushita regiment will cut off their heads in honor of our dead compatriots. Japanese chief Matsushita Seiichi and Japanese spy agent Xu Fu are the chief culprits of the Awacheng massacre. Once captured, Immediately take him to Sucheng, where he will be sentenced to death."

There is also a line of big characters at the back, this hunting order will never be invalidated, all our soldiers and civilians, who provide the whereabouts of the Matsushita Alliance, will be rewarded heavily, under the names of Matsushita Seiichi and Xu Fu, there are blood red big red ticks, look It was shocking. The leaflets were scattered all over the roads that the Japanese troops must pass. Although some officers strictly ordered not to circulate them, there was no fire inside the paper. The soldiers of the Matsushita Regiment were in constant panic. I have to pay it back!

All of a sudden, there were wars everywhere in the Taihang Mountains. The Japanese army withdrew their troops, exhausted, and when they were on their way, a burst of artillery flew from nowhere, and after blowing up a large number of soldiers, the attackers disappeared. On the side cliff, a meteor-like grenade fell head-on, causing the Japanese soldiers to cry for their fathers and mothers, blood and flesh flew all over the place, and they were ready to fight, but there was no movement. The mountain road that was walking well suddenly became furious, and a large number of landmines raged violently. The explosion, in addition to the corpses all over the place, the Japanese army had many more wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs, which was even more troublesome. A wounded soldier needs at least two soldiers to take care of it.

Withdrawing all the way, being beaten all the way, being tossed about several times a day, the Japanese officers and soldiers were almost tortured to the point of insanity. Gathering back, counting the troops, and summarizing the results of the battle, Yamaguchi almost cried out. In a few days, Tang Qiuli's independent division beat him piecemeal. In addition to the consumption a while ago, he lost almost one of the main division's troops. The results of the battle were terrible, that is, several empty houses were burned down, and more than 3000 Chinese people were killed by the Matsushita Alliance.

Mentioning Seiichi Matsushita made Yamaguchi angry. This coward was terrified by Tang Qiuli's order to kill him. Without the protection of a squadron soldier, he didn't even dare to sleep. He was nervous all day long. In the middle of the night, he often He jumped up and yelled that the Chinese army was coming, which made the morale of the entire regiment low and everyone panicked. Yesterday, he found himself and applied to retire and return home.

After being scolded by Yamaguchi, if it weren't for the dark circles under his eyes, his wobbly walking, and his loss of weight, he would have been sent to a military court and sentenced him to retreat in battle, and that Xu Fu , Sneaked back to Peiping a long time ago, returned to the intelligence system, became his intelligence officer, and continued to deceive the Chinese people.

After resting for two days, the Japanese army began to attack Wuxiang in the south of Shanxi in the form of large regiments. Yamaguchi learned the lesson of stretching five fingers and being beaten everywhere. The divisions were close together and marched as a whole. 10,000+ Japanese troops , Like locusts, stepping on the snow in the Taihang Mountains, rolling northward.

As soon as the Japanese army left Shexian County, Tang Qiuli knew that their next attack target must be Taiyuan. This was also the only effective way to break the current stalemate, because the Japanese army was heavily concentrated like a rolling stone roller. Attacking everywhere, the eagle strike tactic would lose its effect, and with Tang Qiuli's current strength, he didn't have the strength to block it head-on.

The Japanese army swept Taihang Mountain for more than [-] days, and finally returned with success. The siege of the base area was lifted. Xiangyue Qingsi's attack on Taiyuan was vicious enough. Tang Qiuli arranged troops to use the favorable terrain to block along the way and strive to delay The speed of the Japanese army going northward notified the latest enemy situation to Yan Xishan who had returned to Taiyuan.

After receiving Tang Qiuli's emergency notification, Yan Xishan absolutely believed that it was true. He had been operating in Shanxi for so many years, and what happened on this ground could not be hidden from Chief Yan's ears. There was only one thing he didn't understand. What's so good, to attract the jealousy of the Japanese like this, and to mobilize more than 40 troops, Shanxi must be taken?

Put Jiangnan Huahua World and don’t grab it, but I want to make it hard with my old man, damn it, eat persimmons that are soft and soft, scolding is scolding, Taiyuan must not be lost, if Taiyuan is lost, no matter how well beaten Datong is, it will be a fart No, the old man can only run away, and he will lower his eyelids there, watching other people's faces for food.

With a cheeky face, he begged Tang Qiuli's troops in the Taihang Mountains to hold back the Japanese army's northward advance as much as possible, and at the same time deployed them on the banks of the Yellow River in western Shanxi, Liulin, and Yonghe Pass to guard against the 14 main forces of Zhu Mao's Red Army. The troops were urgently transferred eastward to the Wuxiang area for defense.

On December [-]th, Tang Qiuli dragged him to the mountain pass in the Taihang Mountains for eleven days, and finally saw the ancient city wall of Wuxiang. He looked back at the snow-covered, towering peaks, and rolling Taihang Mountains, and he still had lingering fears in his heart. , I was lucky not to be killed by the Chinese devil in the Taihang Mountains. I don’t know how many ambushes I suffered on this journey. The road of hundreds of miles was paved with the corpses of soldiers. sky.

During this period, I don’t know how many times I received telegrams from Your Excellency Commander, first urging, then accusing, and finally even bringing out the words of dismissal and investigation. Qiuli is like an extremely annoying fly, surrounding him, no matter it is day or night, he will not let the troops stop. The most annoying thing is that in Guhan, where there is a ditch between two mountains, Tang Qiuli's troops, Blocked the mountain pass and bombarded the imperial army with heavy artillery for a whole night, not to mention the losses. On the second day, all the soldiers were in low spirits. .

Yamaguchi cursed Taihang Mountain, cursed Tang Qiuli, he most hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would dance to the gods, and send Taihang Mountain and Tang Qiuli to hell. When he arrived near Wu Township, even if he left the Taihang Mountains, if he went further, it would be a flat river. The Jinzhong Plain is very dangerous, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is Yamaguchi's established strategy to take down Wuxiang and open the passage to Jinzhong and Taiyuan. After arriving here, it will probably not be a problem to complete the command of your Excellency the Commander, right?Although it was delayed for six days, there was finally an explanation, and it wouldn't be too ugly.

The head of the Sixth Division of the leading army called to ask for instructions. The troops have been marching and fighting in the mountains for several days. The soldiers' physical strength has been exhausted.Yamaguchi shook his head again and again, and taught in the tone of a military strategist: "No, no, soldiers are precious and fast, and they are caught by surprise. Let the Chinese people who believe in Sun Tzu's art of war see that their methods are outdated. The Imperial Japanese Army is truly invincible. The enemy warrior, Nakajima-kun, prepare to attack! Waiting for your good news! Hope to see you in Wuxiang Castle!"

Putting down the phone, Yamaguchi yawned, he was really tired, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, his muscles were sore, he called the orderly to bring in a glass of milk, he drank it in one gulp, then fell down on the camp bed and fell asleep with his head covered He doesn't need to worry about fighting a small Wuxiang, a division is enough. [

The Japanese soldiers who had just rested and hadn't regained their strength, cursed in low voices under the orders of the officers, formed an attack formation, and rushed to Wuxiang County. However, none of them were nervous about the imminent battle. The township is too small, and it is not worth using so many troops. One division can level Wu Township.

The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army who attacked Wuxiang bumped into the iron plate, was dizzy, and was sent back. From Guocun, Qinxian, Fengzhou to Wuxiang and Haobei, the front stretched for more than 14 kilometers. In the first place, [-] Jin army troops built a large number of fortifications in a few days, and there were three lines of defense in depth, like iron fences, blocking the way of the Japanese army.

In the headquarters in Yamaguchi, the phone rang loudly. The staff officer on duty picked up the phone and looked at the Chief of Staff who was sleeping soundly with embarrassment.
