The Central Army's Qiannan Defense Line East Road, Duyun City South Xiyunfeng Battlefield, fought a war of attrition, seven days, the 19th Group Army, casualties have reached more than 30,000 people, accounting for about half of the total troops, the Japanese army's fierce artillery fire, volcanic eruption, flooded the Xiyunfeng position again and again, outlaw-like Japanese soldiers, like the rising tide of the sea, wave after wave of impact on the Xiyunfeng position.

The position of Xiyun Peak, staggering through every day, seems to be unable to hold on, but miraculously stood up, thanks to the construction of Chutian, every time with a fresh force, the Japanese army was beaten back, in the sweltering weather of July in southern Qiannan, the smell of gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood in the sky, choking people breathlessly, the battle of Xiyun Peak, fought into a war of attrition, and became a place of death where flesh and blood fly.

Yamashita Fengwen was red-eyed, crazy, the number of casualties in his eyes, like stones everywhere, his daily order was "attack, keep attacking," Guo Huawen became more and more frightened, looking at the troops that drove up at night, and when they withdrew the next night, the number of people had decreased by more than half, and he kept asking himself, how many days could he hold on?

The situation has been even stricter, the ammunition and supplies stored before the war have been almost exhausted, and according to the current consumption, it can hold out for five days at most, but since the start of the war in Duyun, the 19th Army has not received a little supply from the General Headquarters of the Eastern Route Army, and five days later, his soldiers can only use stones and Japanese soldiers to fight desperately.

If the ammunition is sufficient, it will be no problem to hold on for another ten days and half a month, but it is just the 19th Group Army fighting out, before making the decision to hold on to Duyun, Guo Huawen has already considered the consequences, but there is no ammunition. How is this battle fought? In fact, the battle of Duyun was fought to this kind of Cheng dù, whether it was Yamashita Fengwen or Guo Huawen, what they fought was one breath, what they fought was will and endurance, and to see who couldn't hold on first and fell down first.

Guo Huawen is also with Chutian. After a systematic analysis of the entire battlefield, the 19th Army was exhausted. The Japanese army of the main attack was even more tired, and if another new force suddenly joined the Duyun battlefield, facing the tired Japanese army, it would definitely be able to achieve heavy results, and thus the Japanese 15th Army. It is also very likely that all annihilation will be under the city of Duyun.

Chu Tian was hinting at Guo Huawen, but unfortunately, Guo Huawen did not think about the troops of the independent division, and the first thing he thought of was the 11th Group Army stationed on the front line of Majiang. In terms of troops, weapons and equipment, it must surpass the 19th Group Army, which is Liu Zhi's descendant troops, and good equipment is given priority.

Think again. Guo Huawen decided to call Liu Zhi and explain in detail the specific situation of the Duyun Campaign, in his opinion, this was an opportunity to win a big victory, and personally gave it to Liu Zhi. Why don't you cut your head and drill into it?

Guo Huawen picked up the phone, "Is it the General Headquarters?" I'm Guo Huawen. Please talk to Commander-in-Chief Liu, "I've been waiting for a while." Liu Zhi's tone reached his ears, "It's Commander Guo, is there anything to find me?" "Commander-in-Chief Liu, the battle of Duyun is very fierce, and the ammunition and supplies are strictly consumed, please order the logistics department to replenish our ammunition and supplies as much as possible."

Liu Zhi pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? You haven't applied for it, I thought that your Commander Guo has a strong family background and doesn't need the general headquarters to do anything, this is easy to do, I will immediately order the logistics department to quickly supply your group army," Liu Zhi was so refreshing, not stuck at all, but it was beyond Guo Huawen's expectations.

Liu Zhi has his own plans, with Guo Huawen's 19th Group Army in Duyun to withstand the Japanese attack, he can be in Fuquan in the rear, safe and sound, besides, the better Guo Huawen fights, the greater his credit, is the command well, there is no need to use the descendants of the troops to fill the holes, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it enough grass, easy to get favors, why not? Liu Zhi will not make trouble for himself.

The start was good, Guo Huawen's mood was much better, but he felt a little uneasy because of his resentment towards Liu Zhi, and took the opportunity to tell Liu Zhi about his construction.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Liu Zhi on the other end of the phone, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, was furious and said sharply: "Guo Huawen, what the hell are you fighting?" Duyun is your defense area, and it is your responsibility to defend the territory, as for the Eastern Route Army, the Chongqing Command has a comprehensive arrangement, and it is not your turn to be the commander of a group army to point fingers. ”

After speaking, "Bang Dang" put the phone down, Guo Huawen was beaten by a platoon, and thought for a while, I don't know why Liu Zhi is so angry, what he said is the truth, the current Duyun battlefield is definitely the best opportunity, but it is like going to dig Liu Zhi's ancestral grave, where to reason, in my heart, I am faintly worried about the supply that Liu Zhi promised.

The next day, all the supplies were transported to Duyun, and the officer of the logistics department who escorted the car also conveyed to Commander-in-Chief Liu that as long as the 19th Group Army needed something, the logistics department of the general headquarters would provide anything, of course, sending troops and reinforcements would not be discussed, and the 19th Group Army, which had been supplied with ammunition, had to grit its teeth and fight desperately with the Japanese army.

As soon as Chu Tian was about to report the battle situation of Xiyun Peak on the last day to the division commander Tang Qiuli, he received a telegram from Tang Qiuli, and the first sentence at the beginning was, "Chutian, according to your judgment, how many days can Guo Huawen hold out in Duyun?" Does Guo have the determination to stick to Duyun? ”

Chu Tian was stunned, what does this mean, teacher? Immediately reported the situation of Duyun to Tang Qiuli, and emphasized that the 19th Group Army had already received a large number of supplies and ammunition supplies, and if there was no sudden change, there would be no problem in holding Duyun for 15 to 20 days.

Tang Qiuli's telegram to Chutian was to clarify Guo Huawen's attitude, and the opportunity he was waiting for finally appeared, on July 13, the Japanese army in the middle broke through the Changshun defense line, approached Huaxi in the south of Guiyang, and the 150,000 Central Army defending Changshun was defeated in Guiyang, and the southern part of Guiyang was already open in front of the Japanese army.

On 15 July, the Japanese army on the west route successively broke through Anshun, Pingba, and the defense line, and then captured Qingzhen, approaching the western part of Guiyang, and the central army troops in this direction, about 180,000 people, lost more than 100,000, and also retreated into the city of Guiyang, so that the southern and western parts of Guiyang had been approached by the Japanese army, and the Japanese troops on the two routes, totaling more than 280,000 troops, adopted a posture of encirclement of Guiyang, and it was only a matter of time before Guiyang was lost.

This is the opportunity, the two Japanese troops, the speed of progress is too fast, was blocked in front of Duyun Xiyun Peak under the mountain Fengwen 15th Army, but became a lone army, even if the middle of the Japanese army turned around to rescue Fengwen under the mountain, there is no seven or eight days, can not climb Duyun at all, the mountains and mountains of the southern Qiannan generation, a few rivers are natural obstacles.

When the Japanese army launched an attack on Guiyang, it was an opportunity to attack Yamashita Fengwen, so that the siege of Guiyang could be relieved, and Yamashita Fengwen could be annihilated, killing two birds with one stone, and the modern version of the siege of Wei to save Zhao, as long as the Central Army retreating to Guiyang held on for three days, Tang Qiuli could calmly devour the 15th Army of Yamashita Fengwen alive.

However, the entire Qiannan campaign of the Central Army, somewhat made Tang Qiuli a little incomprehensible, the Central Army troops defending the middle and west roads, with a total strength of nearly 350,000 troops, are all elite troops, Chen Cheng and Gu Zhutong, two generals under Chairman Jiang, who are respectively commanders-in-chief, why are they losing and retreating one after another, and losing important places one after another?

The terrain conditions of southern Qiannan were strong against the defenders, with elite and superior troops, until they were beaten by the Japanese army and lost their armor, what is the reason? The main general of the East Road is the dim-witted and incompetent Liu Zhi, if you want to talk about the command ability of this duke, Tang Qiuli can casually pull out a brigade commander under his command, and he can beat Liu Zhi all over the ground.

But the elite 15th Army of the Japanese army, blocked under the city of Duyun, half a step can not advance, according to Chutian's telegram, Yamashita Fengwen also suffered heavy losses, the little-known 19th Group Army of the Central Army, played its own prestige, Liu Zhi borrowed the light, piggyback famous, in the midst of thousands of horses, one of the best, is really a good general, the reality is so absurd, the trend of history is still sheltering Liu Zhi, Tang Qiuli can't understand and can't change.

Liu Zhi, who was lamented by Tang Qiuli's good luck, was conspiring with the chief of staff at this time, and his way of trying to preserve his strength and reach out to reap the benefits was ruthlessly shattered by a telegram from Chairman Jiang of Chongqing, "Liu Zhi, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, is now tense in southern Qiannan, the Japanese army is approaching Guiyang on both sides, and the defense of Guiyang is inevitable. ”

Such a telegram made Liu Zhi dizzy and distressed, and drove his descendant troops to Guiyang, obviously to send them to death, more than 300,000 horses on the middle and west roads did not block the Japanese, and his more than 90,000 people filled in it, and he could use it as a fart, regretting that he should not blow his head at the beginning, saying that the defense line of the east road was impregnable and was an insurmountable fortress for the Japanese army.

If there was no Duyun Campaign, Liu Zhi would not hesitate to send the 19th Group Army to Guiyang, but now Guo Huawen and the Japanese are inseparable, his troops go to Guiyang, and his 11th Group Army will have to go up.

Just when Liu Zhi was uncertain, he secretly assembled the corps directly under the independent division in Libo, southern Qiannan, under the command of division commander Tang Qiuli, and marched in the direction of Duyun through Jialiang and Ji Chang, and the troops of two of the brigades, under the command of the chief of staff Chang Feng, concealed and surrounded Dushan, and the strength of a reinforced regiment set off two days in advance to prepare to seize the Longtoujiang Bridge, and the operation against Yamashita Fengwen began.
