Chapter 1043 The Japanese Seventh Army is over

Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, led a fast column to defeat the Japanese troops attacking Kunming with lightning speed and swiftness, and rushed into the urban area, bringing hope to the Yunnan army on the verge of collapse. 9vk

Long Yun, commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army and chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government, greeted him as a life-saving benefactor with the highest courtesy, and what Yu Guanghan said to Long Yun could not be more obvious, our independent division is not only here, the large army is still behind, it is about to arrive, this is only one of the ways.

At this point, all of Long Yun's worries have come to naught, his body is as light as a feather, and his heart is bright, not to mention the large army of the independent division behind, it is the reinforcements of more than 30,000 people, which has opened his eyes, Long Yun is on the top of the provincial mansion, and has witnessed the whole process of Yu Guanghan's breakthrough into the city to fight.

Eye-opening, surprise inexplicable, not enough to describe Long Yun's shock, just these more than 30,000 people, more than 100,000 Japanese troops were thrown into a mess, it only took more than 40 minutes, on the Japanese encirclement, tear a hole, what artillery and infantry, all in one go, drill in, in the end, there is a beautiful counter-assault, Long Yun except admiration, he really has nothing to say.

"Come, Chief of Staff, long journey, hard all the way, Long Mou prepared a little thin wine, on behalf of all the officers and men of the Yunnan Army, I would like to express my gratitude to Vice Chairman Tang!" Long Yun enthusiastically conceded, he was really in the command headquarters, laying out a table of wine and food, no matter what, Yu Guanghan could afford this glass of wine, Kunming was saved, and the Yunnan army did not have to go to the bitter cold land in northwest Yunnan and live a bitter life.

The most important thing is that the Dian army has done its best in Kunming, with Tang Qiuli's life and consistent style, there is absolutely no ugly appearance of Lao Jiang, he Longyun is still a well-deserved king of Yunnan, maybe he can take this opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Yunnan army, it is not impossible, in this world, there is a good backer, there are really not many opportunities.

Yu Guanghan was slightly surprised, inside and outside Kunming City, fireworks broke out, and Chairman Long still had time to set up a banquet, Yu Guanghan didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, his stomach was full of taste, besides, if there was time to drink, the main force of the corps was about to attack.

Just about to politely refuse, a jeep, with an inch of land, drove quickly, and a young captain and staff officer hurriedly jumped out of the car, "Report to the chief of staff, the corps command has called, the departments have arrived at the designated position, the commander asks the chief of staff to report on the situation of the Japanese army, and determine the main direction of attack of the troops." ”

It was really very timely, Yu Guanghan apologized, and said to Long Yun: "Chairman Long, the battle is about to start, please forgive Guanghan for not being able to accompany him," Long Yun is also a good person, how could he not see the key to it, laughed heartily, and said: "Okay, Chief of Staff Yu, eliminating the Japanese invaders is the most important thing at present, this wine, just save it for the time of victory!" I wish Chief of Staff a complete victory. ”

Yu Guanghan was just about to say goodbye, but was kept by Long Yun, Long Yun turned his head and ordered the secretary of the division headquarters, "Convey my order, all units of the Yunnan Army are under the unified command of the chief of staff, and those who do not obey the order will not be able to get along with me Long Yun," After speaking, he waved his hand and stopped what Yu Guanghan was about to say.

Long Yun is not a fool, with the independent division troops, joining the Kunming battlefield, the victory is absolutely impossible to run, the troops of the Yunnan army, if they do not take this opportunity to show their faces, the most important thing, the guns of the Japanese are a good thing, several times stronger than the existing equipment of the Yunnan army.

Following behind the troops of the independent division, there is no need to pay too much price, just by capturing the battlefield, you can replace the Dian army with Japanese-style equipment, which is much more comfortable than begging Tang Qiuli with a cheeky face after the battle, which shows your attitude and gets benefits, why not?

Yu Guanghan didn't have time to ponder Long Yun's thoughts, he didn't know, in an instant, Long Yun's head turned countless times, for Long Yun to let him command all the troops of the Yunnan army, Yu Guanghan was very disapproving, such a force, not only could not help, but also got in the way, but Long Yun was very sincere, if he shirked, it would inevitably hurt the harmony.

After thinking about it, Yu Guanghan said: "Chairman Long, the Yunnan army troops, after the main force of our corps launched an attack on the Japanese army, they can participate in the battle as the second echelon, and the main task is to clean up the battlefield and clear out the remnants of the enemy, what do you think?" ”

Long Yun couldn't wait to hug Yu Guanghan and kiss him a few times, it was too kind to me, this is the chief of staff, what a wonderful person, "Don't immediately carry out the order of the chief of staff, and command your own troops into battle!" Long Yun calmly faced and ordered the generals.

"Yes, immediately carry out the order of the chief of staff," the voices of the generals of the Dian army, the big scary, the spirit and morale of the absolute rise to the highest Cheng Dù, who has been following Chairman Long for more than ten years, still don't understand what the boss means, it is really a wooden pimple head, cleaning the battlefield, absolute fat difference, just the Japanese weapons and equipment, can make a lot of trouble and make a windfall.

The rapid column of the Sulu Mobile Corps, entering the city of Kunming, became a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of Kenji Iijima, this independent division unit with strong combat effectiveness, well-equipped and fast action, if it is not eliminated, it will be difficult to continue to attack Kunming, no one can predict that he will appear in that direction, posing a huge threat to the attacking troops.

Therefore, in order to carry out the order of Terauchi Shouichi to resolutely occupy Kunming, Kenji Iijima concentrated the troops in several directions in the northeast direction of the outskirts of Kunming, and the artillery had already established a position, and a wing of chariots was ready to go.

Concentrate all the troops, attack one point, and eliminate the small reinforcements of the independent division, which is only one of the purposes, and can also take advantage of the situation to attack the city of Kunming and divide the defense line of the local army in China.

Unfortunately, His Excellency Commander Iijima set the time of the attack at 10 o'clock in the morning, which coincided with the time when Tang Qiusheng's corps launched a general attack on him, if Iijima Kenji knew that the entire corps of the Independent Division, with more than 2,000 artillery pieces, more than 1,000 tanks, 10 rocket artillery battalions, and more than 100,000 well-equipped soldiers, was staring at him with fierce eyes, and was about to pounce at any time, would he faint immediately?

Two hours later, there was an equally well-equipped independent division, pressing from due north, and the Seventh Army inevitably became dumpling stuffing, Lieutenant General Iijima, and the leisure to show off his chiseling tactics, probably in the mood for suicide, right?

Misjudgment and disastrous consequences, both Terauchi Shouichi and Kenji Iijima miscalculated the speed of the advance of the independent division's troops, and Tang Qiuli's rapid response, at ten o'clock in the morning, Kenji Iijima calmly ordered the chief of staff: "Start attacking!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a thunderclap-like loud sound spread in the northeast of Kunming, shaking the earth and trembling, just listening to the sound, no less than thousands of artillery pieces were firing in a salvo, Iijima Kenji was stunned, "Hani? The speed of the soldiers of the Imperial Army can't be so fast, right? As soon as the order was given, they opened fire? Looking back, the chief of staff held the phone with a shocked expression, and his order had not yet had time to be conveyed to the troops.

A Zhongsa officer broke into the headquarters headlong, "Your Excellency Commander, in the rear of our army, there are a large number of Shina troops, the shelling just now, they hit it, the rear guard division reports that it is the main force of the Shina army," Iijima was startled, his head had not yet reacted, and he was hell that the Shina troops appeared again.

As if to verify his consternation, the phone rang harshly, the chief of staff grabbed the phone, and before he could hear a few words, his face turned pale, and Kenji Iijima's scalp tightened, "Your Excellency Commander, the 29th Guards Division reports that they were fiercely attacked by the Shina army and suffered heavy casualties, and the division commander Kobayashi Eleven was seriously wounded, according to judgment, the enemy army has at least more than 100,000 people, and the battle has spread to the 17th and 11th Divisions that followed. ”

The words of the chief of staff, like bursts of thunder, made Kenji Iijima's eyes burst into gold stars, and hundreds of thousands of enemy troops appeared behind him, what kind of concept is that? Plus the troops of the independent division in the city of Kunming, and they themselves were surrounded? A qiē is like being in a dream, just a nightmare.

"Commander, Commander!" The chief of staff shouted one after another to the petrified Iijima, Iijima Kenji groaned in pain, and the seven souls and six spirits seemed to have just returned to the body, "Quick, order the troops, immediately stop the attack on Kunming, retreat to the direction of Chengjiang, and, report this situation immediately to Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Shouichi." ”

Kenji Iijima was finally not at a loss, he remembered that in the northeast of Kunming, in the area of Chengjiang, the terrain conducive to defense, where the mountain peaks, the altitude is not too high, the terrain is very complicated, but it is better than being beaten here, sticking to Chengjiang, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the dispatched army, this is the only way to make the Seventh Army avoid the fate of the whole army.

Or, continue to retreat south, to the border of China, Vietnam, and Burma, and join the troops there, anyway, to insist on Kunming now is to kill yourself," ordered the 17th Division and the 11th Division to cover the retreat of the main force of the army," Kenji Iijima then issued another order, and the damned Shina Devil, like a ghost in his troops, suddenly appeared, and the battle situation was passive to the extreme, and the headquarters of the Seventh Army was immediately busy as if it were boiling the pot.

Yu Guanghan saw the Japanese tank turn around and ran back, knowing that the main force of the corps had launched an attack, and the Japanese army was about to retreat, so he immediately reported the situation to Tang Qiusheng, "Commander, the little devil is going to run, look at the direction is to Chengjiang, I ask for a fast column, immediately pursue," Yu Guanghan's eyes lit up, and his heart was itching.

With the astonishing marching speed of the fast column, he was sure that he would bite off a large piece of fat from the retreating Japanese army, Tang Qiusheng's tone was still so steady, "Guanghan, the fast column immediately marched rapidly, rushed to the Jinning line, blocked the Japanese army's southern escape route, and surrounded them in Chengjiang." ”
