Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli released the Chutian special warfare detachment that had been recharging its energy for a long time. On the direction from southwestern Guangdong to Zhouzhou, on the route pursued by the Japanese army, they fought fiercely. The scale of each battle was small, but they talked about it. The meat, the shots were fierce, and none of the Japanese troops who were hit was alive. The commander of the No. 15 Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fufumi, who was so arrogant that he was so arrogant, was finally hurt and had to order his vanguard to order the first Eighth division, slow down the speed of pursuit.

Yamashita Fengwen is not a fool, he can't see his opponent's battle like this, it gives him a headache, he loses the lives of hundreds of soldiers every day, and he can't even catch his opponent's shadow, this battle can't be fought, the Cantonese troops who survived , rushing towards Guangzhou like a swarm, wishing their parents would have two more legs, and the dangerous situation in Guangdong could be temporarily relieved.

On May [-], Tang Qiuli left Quanzhou, Fujian, and rushed to Guangzhou to organize the Guangzhou campaign. On the same day, he received a reconnaissance report from the special operations detachment that the Japanese army attacked Guangxi troops. The Fourth Army of the Communist Party of China, equipped with a large number of tanks and heavy artillery units, attacked across the board from Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, Beihai, and Hepu, and aimed directly at Nanning.

Tang Qiuli immediately forwarded this information to Bai Chongxi, the commander of Nanning City Defense, reminding him that the Japanese attack on Nanning was about to begin. Bai Chongxi called back, "Xun Jian, Vice Chairman Tang, received the call. Concerned about the war situation in Nanning, I, the military and civilians in Guangxi, have made all preparations to meet the invading Japanese army, and report detailed battle reports at any time." Since Bai Chongxi said so, Tang Qiuli can't talk about it, and can only pay close attention to the Nanning war. .

On May 11th, the vanguard of the Japanese Third Army, the Takashima Regiment of the No.[-] Division, first arrived at the outskirts of Nanning. This Colonel Takashima was not as stable as his commander Masaharu Honma, and he had enough experience with the Chinese army. It is also a character that is too arrogant to know the heights of the sky and the earth. It is no wonder that the Takashima United Army is the first time a newly formed army in Japan has come to the Chinese battlefield, and it has not suffered a loss yet. [

Takashima himself is a faithful believer in the saying that the Imperial Japanese Army is the enemy of the world. In his eyes, those Chinese soldiers are like rows of prisoners kneeling on the ground, waiting for him to cut off their heads. After the task of the vanguard of the army, I was so excited that I howled the Japanese song for a long time, and wiped the ancestral sword over and over again.

During the raid on Nanning, they were not stopped by the Gui army. The bushido complex in Takashima's bones began to overflow to a certain extent. In particular, I heard that one squadron of His Excellency Fengwen Yamashita's troops can occupy a county. Those Chinese soldiers ran away The shoes were all lost, and Takashima desperately urged the troops to speed up the march. As a result, the distance between the Takashima United Army and the main force of the division became farther and farther, exceeding the three-day journey.

Nanning is right in front of you. Looking through the binoculars, Nanning city is very quiet. It seems that all the Chinese people in the city have run away. On the outskirts of the city, there are trenches and barbed wire fences dug by the Chinese army, blocking the way. After a while, Takashima didn't find a trace of a Chinese soldier, so this guy thought about it.

Could it be that all the Chinese people have run away?If this is the case, it is a great credit waiting for him to occupy Nanning City immediately and do a beautiful job to show your Excellency the division commander. The name must have a strong stroke, the more I think about it, the more excited I become, and my brain is feverish to [-] degrees.

"Order, the artillery brigade immediately bombards the target in front of it, and each brigade enters the starting point of the charge. After the shelling, occupy Nanning City." Although crazy, the order he issued is still clear. Don't even look at your own strength. A team of more than 2000 people dares to attack rashly. It's a typical lunatic's behavior, a big shit.

Takashima's order frightened the Chief of Staff, Major Saitomo. He has all the information about Nanning reported by the Division Headquarters. There are more than 2000 recognizable troops assembled here, and a regiment of more than [-] people is attacking. There is no heavy artillery to cooperate. It is different from suicide. Such a commander is to kill all the warriors of His Majesty the Emperor. ?

"Your Excellency, Captain, please be careful. According to the information reported by the Division Headquarters, there are more than [-] Chinese soldiers in Nanning City, dozens of times the strength of our regiment. Moreover, our regiment marched too fast. The weapons are all left behind, and I believe that it is not suitable to attack at this time, and it is safer to wait for the main force and heavy weapons of the division to arrive before starting the attack."

The chief of staff said very tactfully, mainly to take care of the face of your Excellency the captain.

Wife, I have already greeted Takashima's female relatives several times in my heart, why is this lunatic, but Takashima is not happy, looking at this guy is pleasing to the eye, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, thinking that he is a tactician, Tokyo Imperial University The brand can't scare the captain of the alliance, it can only scare the recruits.

Ni?Xiyou-kun, you are a soldier, you should be ashamed of your work as a coward! An ordinary soldier of the No.15 Army is braver than you, I really doubt, how did you get promoted to the rank of Major?After the bombardment, there were not many soldiers left in China, let’s execute the order.” Takashima’s face was gloomy at that time, and he was not polite at all in front of many staff officers. Choking for a while, he was flustered and short of breath, his thin face turned into a liver color.

"Boom, boom, boom," a cannonball was fired, and it kept falling on the outer positions of Nanning. The sound of explosions echoed in the open field. The artillery brigade of the Takashima United Regiment belongs to the light artillery and is only equipped with 20 guns. The [-]-type infantry artillery, with more than [-] mortars, on the front of more than ten kilometers long, such a small-caliber artillery, such a small number of artillery, how effective it can be, apart from seeing the clouds of gunpowder smoke. In addition, the practical effect is very limited.

Guarding this area is the [-]th Division [-]th Regiment of Zhang Gan's Ninth Army of the Gui Army. In the entire battle sequence of the Gui Army, Zhang Gan's Ninth Army is known for its tough fighting style and well-trained soldiers. , Weapons and equipment are also prioritized. In previous wars, the Gui Army has earned a reputation as the main force of the Gui Army. Bai Chongxi relies heavily on Zhang Gan's Ninth Army.

The 30th Regiment, in the Ninth Army, is also the number one main force regiment. There are more than [-] people in the regiment, most of whom are veterans. They didn't even bat an eyelid when facing such bombardment by the Japanese army. It's still strange, everyone said that the little devil's artillery fire was fierce, and dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery were fired at every turn. Looking at this posture, it's not very good. A total of mortars are added together, but there are more than [-] small-caliber artillery. Afraid of him a bird!

These veterans, who are accustomed to the wind and waves, leaned on the parapet of the trench, listening to the sound of the Japanese shelling casually. Only some recruits could not help shivering every time a shell exploded. They endured the shelling for more than ten minutes. The explosions of the cannon near and far did not hurt a few people except for the blasting of lumps of mud. Looking at the veterans around them who closed their eyes and rested their minds, their emotions gradually calmed down, and they felt that the little devil's artillery fire was not so terrible.

Colonel Wu Xiaoxian, the head of the regiment, wearing a steel helmet, followed by a staff officer and a few guards, hunched over in the trench, patrolling the fortifications, and ordered in a low voice: "Pay attention to concealment, and the bombardment of the little devils will stop later." Finally, don’t be in a hurry to shoot, prepare the grenades for me, put the little devil within 50 meters and shoot again, in 3 minutes, throw out five grenades for me, and put these **** back Beat to death, hear that? "

To be honest, Wu Xiaoxian's tactics are very dangerous. With a distance of 50 meters, with the individual quality of the Japanese army, he can rush to the front of the trench within twenty seconds. There is a basis, the posture that the little devils put on is the target, they have not found the soldiers in the trenches, and they are very blind when looking at the landing point of the cannon. best weapon.

In the first trench, there are two battalions of troops, more than 900 people, and more than 4000 grenades, which have not been blown into a wall of fire. Moreover, in the second trench, there are two heavy machine gun companies, more than 30 heavy machine guns. The machine gun is enough to clean up the remaining little devils. It should be said that Wu Xiaoxian's bold deployment can inflict the greatest damage on the Japanese army, but it is a bit risky.

An hour later, the Japanese bombardment stopped. Takashima looked at the Guangxi army's position shrouded in gunpowder smoke with satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with the effect of this shelling. The Chinese soldiers who had left the city had long since abandoned the city and fled. If the Chinese soldiers who were still standing still under such a large-scale shelling had not yet appeared!

Takashima forgot, how much damage can light artillery such as Type [-] infantry artillery and mortars do to the prepared Gui army positions?It was just a few pits and a few wisps of smoke, "Kill the chicken!" Takashima pulled out his command knife, pointed the tip of the knife in the direction of Ningcheng, and gave the order to charge. [

Chief of Staff Xiyou's #lips twitched a few times. Seeing the excited and bull-like captain of the United Captain, he gave up his efforts and swallowed the words that came to his mouth. His Excellency the Captain is Excited, he didn't want to be slapped in the face, he just felt that there was no foundation in his heart. The Nanning City in front was abnormally quiet, and the captain of the Takashima United was so arrogant. Thinking this way, Xiyou

His footsteps slowed down involuntarily, and he fell behind the charging Japanese brigade.

Three brigades of Japanese soldiers launched a charge on a front that was no more than four or five kilometers wide. The Japanese soldiers were so arrogant that they didn't even make conventional tactical moves. With eight shots, he swaggered and approached the Gui army's position step by step.
