Age of Rebirth

The battle of Guangzhou, which seemed imminent, could not be fought. Even the vanguard of the Japanese army marching northward to attack Guangzhou, the No.15 Army of Yamashita Fufumi, also turned around and moved closer to Nanning. The main force of the Japanese army staying on the Leizhou Peninsula also all headed towards Nanning Assemble, it seems that they are preparing for some big move.

Tang Qiuli was depressed in his heart, and he punched the air ready to go. He felt like he was about to vomit blood. When the big net was cast, the No. 15 army, the big fish, slipped away. If Yu Hanmou's Guangdong army It is already in place. When the Yamashita Fengwen No.15 Army turned around and headed west, at least a piece of fat could be bitten off, and this guy couldn't be allowed to retreat unscathed.

Fortunately, I have been busy for more than 5 days, but in the end they are empty-handed. Feng Jiwu's five field infantry brigades are still lurking on the south bank of the Moyang River. Set a front line to intercept, as long as the five right-wing brigades can buy two days, Yamashita Fengfu will not want to leave Guangdong happily, it is useless to say anything, everything is a good wish, Tang Qiuli can't wait to strangle him to death Yu Hanmou.

Depressed for a long time, Tang Qiuli gave the following order to the leader of the special warfare detachment, Colonel Chu Tian, ​​"Captain Chu, all the special warfare detachment, immediately go deep into the area around Nanning, follow the direction of the main assembly, and find out what the real Japanese army is. Attempt, remember, this time it is not a battle, and the principle is not to exchange fire with the Japanese troops."

After receiving the order, Chutian immediately cast down dozens of detachments. On the road where the main force of the Japanese army was gathering in Nanning, several pairs of eyes stared at them, including the No. From the sight of the Chutian Special Operations Detachment, by June 15, all the circumstances had been ascertained. The Japanese army's next attack direction was Guizhou, and the combat target was the Central Army units that had established a defense line in the south of Guizhou. [

After receiving the report from Chutian, Tang Qiuli was quite hesitant. Based on the current positions of the corps of the Independent Division, Chang Feng's corps was in Guilin, Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps, and Feng Jiwu's six field brigades were in Guangzhou. As a strategic reserve force, the Tang Qiusheng Corps is in a strong position in Changsha, Hunan. If it follows the Japanese army north into Guizhou and forms a north-south attack with the Central Army, the Japanese, the largest combat group in the south, may not be able to survive. will be better.

However, the attitude of the Central Army, especially Chairman Jiang, made him really doubtful. Just whether the old man could use the elite troops of the Central Army to fight against the Japanese, and cooperate with himself to destroy the Southern Expeditionary Army of Terauchi Shouichi However, Tang Qiuli couldn't figure out Chairman Jiang's mind. With Yu Hanmou's lesson, when he, Jiang, came to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight again, the Japanese army's spearheads would definitely be aimed at him. The pressure was not ordinary. It's big.

After thinking it over and over again, he decided to stand still. At this time, he pushed all the main forces up. At least Chairman Jiang was very happy to see it, and he would not say a word of "thank you". He fought the Japanese to death, He has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he may not even be able to stretch out his hand. He has dealt with Chairman Jiang for several years, and he knows very well the actions of the country's top boss.

Another point is that Tang Qiuli thinks that the time has not yet come. In less than three months, the European war will break out. The ambitious German head of state has sharpened his knife, and Poland is his first target. , Subsequently, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the Second World War officially broke out.

Taking advantage of the traditional European powers such as Britain and France trapped in the European battlefield, busy with German blitz tactics, the Japanese will launch their long-awaited ambitions in Southeast Asia. The rich natural resources in Southeast Asia, especially oil resources, make From Emperor Hirohito to every citizen in Japan, they are all salivating, screaming, and the brute force of the bandits will come up. The Japanese will never give up this best opportunity.

The Japanese can realize their vision of fighting with the Japanese army abroad by taking action in Southeast Asia. They can also use the hands of the Japanese to disrupt the original order of the European and American powers in Southeast Asia. The more chaos the better, there will be opportunities to take advantage of it. In the end, it was Tang Qiuli's plan to drive tigers and wolves away. Taking advantage of the opportunity of attacking the Japanese army, he justifiably entered Southeast Asia and took it into his pocket. As for the re-division of world forces after defeating Japan, the territory is up to him. In hand, it makes sense.

In the Northeast and Far East, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Soviet Red Army confronted each other in the Outer Xing'an Mountains. No one could do anything to the other. They just kept doing it. After Germany began to attack the Soviet Union, the world situation would change dramatically. Liu Tiehan's Northeast Advancing Command troops occupying western Liaoning should come in handy to bring back all the Far East occupied by the Soviet Union. This is Tang Qiuli's overall layout, stabilizing the north and attacking the south.

Now, the only requirement is that Generalissimo Chiang's central army can withstand the Japanese attack for three months. As soon as the beginning of September this year, the world situation will undergo a fundamental change. , so that it will not become the only target of the Japanese army. In comparison, Southeast Asia, which is rich in resources, should attract the attention and greedy ambitions of the Japanese more than the Sichuan Basin.

Generalissimo Jiang holds hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army, and who has been recharging their energy all the time, Tang Qiuli does not believe that with the strength of the Central Army, the Japanese army will not be blocked in Guizhou, unless the old man does not want to fight the Japanese to death, consider Thirdly, Tang Qiuli felt that he should report the current situation of the Japanese army to Generalissimo Jiang in Chongqing. He did not want the Central Army to be caught off guard and suffer a big loss. Underpinning.

"Chongqing, Generalissimo Jiang Xunjian, according to definite information, all Japanese troops dispatched to the south have assembled in Nanning, Guangxi. Judging from the situation of the Japanese army, their next attack direction is Guizhou. It is actually an outpost to seize Chongqing. Chairman, please urge the defenders in the direction of Guizhou to pay attention to guarding against the Japanese attack." This is Tang Qiuli's telegram to Chairman Jiang. He can only say so much, and he said too much.

After receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, Generalissimo Jiang did go through a few times in his mind. He didn't quite believe what Tang Qiuli said in the telegram. What would the Japanese do if they wanted to attack Chongqing if they left Guangdong and Guangxi unoccupied? ?Even if they wanted to fight, it would not be so fast. Some time ago, the Guangxi faction suffered a big loss in Nanning, and Generalissimo Jiang was really happy for a while.

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are enemies. They have been thinking about it for more than ten years, but they can't eradicate the power of the Guangxi faction. Guangxi is actually in a semi-independent state. The Guangxi Clan suffered heavy losses, and Generalissimo Jiang was also happy to stand on the sidelines. Killing people with a knife was his forte. What made him regretful was that the Japanese stopped fighting, which gave the Gui Clan a sigh of relief. It's the same, more depressed, but the depressed things are different.

Chairman Jiang really couldn't figure out what the Japanese were thinking, so he discussed with his staff and decided to wait and see. Now, Tang Qiuli sent such a telegram, which was alarmist. What's your idea?

After reading Tang Qiuli's telegram several times, he couldn't figure out the true meaning, so he called together Yang Yongtai, Zhang Qun, Chen Cheng, and Gu Zhutong, who was kicked out of Shanghai by Feng Jiwu, and circulated the telegram. Going around, the few bosses couldn't see Tang Qiuli's malice from the telegram, but they looked at the old man's intentions and were afraid that this was a conspiracy by someone Tang.

I had no choice but to express my opinion in a calm manner, but Chairman Jiang was even more clueless. Finally, he decided to order all the Central Army units in southern Guizhou to be vigilant and enter a state of combat readiness to strictly prevent the Japanese army from invading the north. No matter what you say, This telegram from Tang Qiuli was not malicious, but a kind reminder and taking corresponding actions was also a response.

Later, Generalissimo Jiang sent Tang Qiuli a telegram, "Vice Chairman Tang, the current situation is complicated. I am defending the Japanese troops on the front line in southern Guizhou. I have already made preparations to fight against the Japanese army's northern invasion. Please take care of me." ," a few words, the tone is as light as plain boiled water, the meaning is obvious, ungrateful, we have been preparing like this before the telegram came.

Looking at Chairman Jiang's call back, Tang Qiuli could only smile wryly. There is nothing to say, and that's fine. Anyway, I've already reminded you that it's up to you to listen or not. Let's let this matter go. However, Tang Qiu Li still took precautionary measures and ordered Changfeng's direct corps to move from Guilin to Rong'an and Sanjiang, preparing to flank the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on Guizhou when the central army could no longer support them.

The current situation is like this. Seeing that the Japanese army's attack on Guizhou is becoming more and more obvious, he can only wait for the battle between the Central Army and the Japanese army. For the big event, Tang Qiuli turned his attention to how to get rid of Yu Hanmou. He had carefully considered the reasons for getting rid of Yu Hanmou.

After all, he is a big official in the borderlands, and there may be many sequelae. However, Yu Hanmou's performance made Tang Qiuli really worried. If the troops of the independent division were driven out of Guangdong by the Japanese army this time, Yu Hanmou would definitely be a traitor. It is expected that Guangdong and Guangxi will be the rear bases for the future competition in Southeast Asia. How can people feel at ease by leaving Yu Hanmou as an uncertain factor. [

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi had a bloody feud with the Japanese, so there is no possibility of being a traitor. Yu Hanmou is different. He was originally a guy who stole the superior position. If this person is not eliminated, he will be poor in the future. Can't kill.

For this reason, he ordered the troops of the five brigades of the Ma Chaoyang Corps to move closer to Yunfu and Deqing. At that time, I got the news that Yu Hanmou had returned to Guangzhou, and was about to hold a grand celebration banquet. The red invitation card had already been sent to Tang Qiuli's house, and Tang Qiuli was stunned again.
