Chapter 519: Finally got out of Taihang Mountain
Chapter 519 finally came out of Taihang Mountain
After reading the summary of the battle in the past few days, Tang Qiuli applauded, this battle, let them fight well, with more than 30,000 troops, stirred up hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops day and night, even sleeping with their eyes half-open, not clever is not good, maybe a group of killing gods will appear, even so, it is impossible to prevent it, thousands of miles of mountains, everywhere is the battlefield.
This is clearly one of the old man's famous guerrilla tactics, sparrow warfare, however, this is an improved version of sparrow warfare, because what he released was a group of eagles, and he did not use earthen guns and artillery, and he was equipped with the same number of little devils, not opponents, and he would make the Japanese army open his skin and flesh with a mouthful, but at this time, the Red Army of the Communist Party of China was still located in a corner of northern Shaanxi, and it did not officially enter the historical stage, and the old man's theory of "protracted war" could not be released until a few years later.
Later, Tang Qiuli saw that his hands were itchy, and he hid from the heads of other departments of the division headquarters, muttered to the mountain tiger, led the guard brigade, ran more than 100 kilometers for a long distance, quietly touched a Japanese logistics supply base, wiped the neck of the Japanese sentry standing guard, wiped the neck with a dagger, and killed a squadron of Japanese soldiers.
After a few days of Eagle Strike fighting, Yamaguchi lost his troops and was in the position of being beaten passively, and he was forced to change his tactics, gather his troops, and the Japanese troops who went deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains retreated one after another, concentrating in the direction of Shexian County, after receiving the information, Tang Qiuli did not intend to let the Japanese troops who had been rampant in the base area for more than 20 days retreat so easily, and after burning the house and destroying the house, he wanted to pat his ass and leave, where is there such a cheap thing?
He issued a new call to fight, an all-out attack, using volleys, ambushes, attacks, etc., to destroy the Japanese army as much as possible, in a word, how to fight easily, even if you get a few stones and throw them, as long as you can kill the little devils.
In addition, he also ordered the Huangyadong base area to print a large number of leaflets, the name is scary enough, the bright red three big characters "Pursuit and Killing Order", the content was personally drafted by him, "Tang Qiuli, commander-in-chief of the Yellow River Valley Theater Command Headquarters, instructed that the Japanese Matsushita United, in one day, slaughtered more than 3,000 innocent civilians of our country, and created a bloody case in Sucheng that shocked the whole country. In order to commemorate my dead compatriots, the Japanese chief Matsushita Seiichi and the Japanese spy Xu Fu were the culprits of the Sucheng bloodbath, and once captured, they were immediately taken to Sucheng and sentenced to death. ”
There is a line of big characters in the back, this chase order will never expire, where our military and civilians, there are those who provide the whereabouts of the Panasonic United, there will be a heavy reward, under the names of Matsushita Qingyi and Xu Fu, there is also a blood-red red red hook, looking at it is shocking, leaflets sprinkled all over the roads that the Japanese troops must pass, although there are officers who strictly order not to circulate, but the paper does not contain fire, the soldiers of the Panasonic Wing, even more panicked, they finally know that the evil they have done, sooner or later they will have to pay back
For a time, there was war everywhere in Taihang Mountain, the Japanese army retreated the troops, anxious, and when they were in a hurry, they didn't know where a burst of shells flew from, after blowing up a large number of soldiers, the attackers disappeared without a trace, the clear sky overhead, suddenly from the cliffs on both sides, fell head-on with meteor-like grenades, and the Japanese soldiers cried and shouted for their mothers, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, pulled the posture to fight, and there was no movement, and walked a good mountain road, suddenly became angry, a large number of mines exploded violently, in addition to the corpses in one place, The Japanese army also had a lot of wounded soldiers who lacked arms and legs, which was even more troublesome, and a wounded soldier had to be taken care of by at least two soldiers.
Evacuate all the way, be beaten all the way, I don't know how many times I was tossed a day, the Japanese officers and soldiers were about to be tortured to the point of insanity, so angry that they saw something unpleasant, so they shot and bombarded for a while, and finally gathered all the troops back, counted the troops, summarized the results, Yamaguchi almost cried, a few days of hard work, was beaten piecemeal by Tang Qiuli's independent division, coupled with the consumption of a while ago, lost almost one of the main divisions, the results of the battle were unbearable, that is, countless empty houses were burned, Plus the Panasonic United team killed more than 3,000 of that people.
When it comes to Matsushita Qingyi, Yamaguchi is angry, this coward, frightened by Tang Qiuli's pursuit and killing order, without the protection of a squadron soldier, he doesn't even dare to sleep, he is nervous all day long, in the middle of the night, he often jumps up and shouts that the army is coming, which makes the whole wing demoralized, and people are panicked.
was scolded by Yamaguchi, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes were black, his walking was shaky, and everyone had lost a lot of weight, he would have been sent to a military court and sentenced him to retreat, and that Xu Fu would have slipped back to Beiping, returned to the intelligence system, became his intelligence officer, and continued to deceive that person.
After resting for two days, the Japanese army began to attack and advance in the direction of Wuxiang in the south of Jinnan in the way of advancing with a large corps, and the mountain pass learned the lesson of stretching out its five fingers and being beaten everywhere, and the divisions and regiments were close together, advancing as a whole, and more than 100,000 Japanese troops, like locusts, stepped on the snow in the Taihang Mountains and rolled north.
As soon as the Japanese army left Shexian, Tang Qiuli determined that their next target must be Taiyuan, which is also the only effective way to break the current stalemate, because the Japanese army's heavy troops are gathered, like a rolling stone mill, there is nowhere to start, the eagle attack tactics lose their effect, and with Tang Qiuli's current troops, he does not have the strength to block head-on.
The Japanese army swept Taihang Mountain for more than 20 days, and finally returned in vain, the siege of the base area was lifted, and Xiangyue Qingji attacked Taiyuan's hand, which was also vicious enough, Tang Qiuli arranged troops, took advantage of the favorable terrain, and blocked along the way, striving to delay the speed of the Japanese army going north, while informing Yan Xishan of the latest enemy situation to Yan Xishan, who had returned to Taiyuan.
After receiving Tang Qiuli's urgent report, Yan Xishan absolutely believed that this was true, after operating in Shanxi for so many years, what happened on this ground could not be hidden from Chief Yan's ears, only one thing he didn't understand, what was good about Shanxi, so to attract the eyes of the Japanese, and use more than 400,000 troops, he had to take Shanxi?
Put the Jiangnan flower world and don't rob it, I want to get along with my old man, **, eat persimmons and pick soft pinch, scold and scold, Taiyuan can never be lost, lose Taiyuan, Datong plays a good top fart, the old man only has the share of running away, and he is under the eyelids to eat.
On the one hand, he was cheeky and implored Tang Qiuli to leave the troops in the Taihang Mountains to delay the Japanese army's northward march as much as possible, and on the other hand, he urgently transferred the 140,000 main forces deployed on the banks of the Yellow River in western Shanxi and in the areas of Liulin and Yongheguan to guard against the Zhumao Red Army, and urgently transferred them eastward to the Wuxiang area to deploy defenses.
On December 10th, Tang Qiuli dragged 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, rolling Taihang Mountain, Wu Zi had palpitations, did not die in the Taihang Mountains by the devil, it was lucky, this way, I don't know how many ambushes I suffered, hundreds of miles of road, I just used the corpses of soldiers to pave over, originally four days away, walked a full eleven days.
During this period, I don't know how many times I received a telegram from His Excellency the Commander, first urging, then questioning, and finally even the words of dismissal and investigation were brought out, the mountain pass is a nest of fire, since entering this damn Taihang Mountain, it has not been smooth everywhere, that Tang Qiuli is like an extremely nasty fly, surrounding himself, day and night, not letting the troops stop, the most infuriating thing is that in Guhan, the place between two mountains and a ditch, Tang Qiuli's troops blocked the mountain pass and bombarded the imperial army troops with heavy artillery for a whole night, not to mention the losses, The next day, all the soldiers, listless, walked straight and swayed, and fell into the ravine and died, at least two squadrons.
Yamaguchi cursed Taihang Mountain, cursing Tang Qiuli, he most hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would jump the great gods, send Taihang Mountain and Tang Qiuli together, and send him to hell, and when he arrived near Wuxiang, even if he was out of the Taihang Mountains, and further on, it was the Jinzhong Plain of Pingchuan, there was no danger to defend, and he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Taking Wuxiang and opening the passage to Jinzhong and Taiyuan is the established strategy of Shankou, and when you get here, it will probably not be a problem to complete the order of His Excellency the commander, right? Although it was delayed for six days, there was finally an explanation, and it was not too ugly.
The commander of the 6th Division of the vanguard unit called to ask for instructions, the troops have been marching and fighting in the mountains for several days, and the soldiers' bodies have been overdrawn, fatigue, and whether they can rest on the spot for a day and take Wuxiang in one go tomorrow? Yamaguchi shook his head again and again, and taught in the tone of a military strategist: "No, no, the soldiers are fast, and they are unprepared to attack them by surprise, let the people who believe in Sun Tzu's Art of War see that their set is outdated, and the Imperial Japanese Army is the truly invincible and invincible warrior, Nakajima-kun, prepare to attack, wait for your good news, I hope to see you in Wuxiang City"
Putting down the phone, Yamaguchi yawned, he was really tired enough, his whole body seemed to be scattered, his muscles were sore, he called the orderlies to send a glass of milk, drank it in one go, and then, fell on the marching bed, covered his head and fell asleep, beating a small martial arts village, he didn't need to worry about it, a division was enough.
The Japanese soldiers who had just rested and had not yet eased their strength, cursed in a low voice in the cheers of the officers, formed an attack formation, and killed the county seat of Wuxiang, but there was no tension about the coming big war, Wuxiang was too small, it was not worth using so many troops, and a division could flatten Wuxiang.
The 6th Division of the Japanese Army, which attacked Wuxiang, hit the iron plate headlong, was dizzy, and was bounced back, from Guocun, Qinxian, Fengzhou to Wuxiang and Haobei, stretching more than 40 kilometers of front, 140,000 Jin Army troops, in a few days, built a large number of fortifications, and there were three lines of defense in depth, like an iron fence, blocking the way of the Japanese army.
In the headquarters of the mountain pass, the telephone rang loudly, and the staff officer on duty picked up the phone and looked at His Excellency the Chief of Staff, who was sleeping soundly, with a sad face.
