Chapter 1026 The First Battle Determines Two Wide

In less than a week, the garrison troops of more than 50,000 people left by Shouichi Terauchi in the two places were wiped out under the rapid attack of the troops of the independent division, and the Japanese army in Nanning was blocked by sea in the retreat of Hainan Island and Taiwan.

Nanning has become a lonely city that has been surrounded, Tang Qiuli made such a big move, obviously out of the Japanese base camp, according to their assumptions, Tang Qiuli should not have shot when the imperial army attacked the Central Army, this is contrary to common sense, all kinds of intelligence show that Tang Qiuli, who is the second person in the national government, has a very bad relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, the number one person, and has reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, but what is the change in the situation in Nanning?

In the face of the interrogation of many bigwigs in the base camp, those Chinese experts in the intelligence headquarters of the base camp chose to collectively lose their voice and closed their crows' mouths, in fact, they couldn't understand the people of Zhina, mainly because they couldn't understand the devil Tang Qiuli, and it seemed that overnight, all their knowledge and experience about Zhina were outdated.

The most disturbing and troublesome thing was General Terauchi Shouichi, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army in China, whose main force was inseparable from Xue Yue's Central Army on the front line of Loushan Pass, and divided the forces of four divisions and regiments to attack northwest Guizhou for a long time, in an attempt to achieve a surprise effect and take Chongqing in one fell swoop.

He already felt that time was pressing, and the southward movement of the independent division army was a lingering shadow in his heart, Tang Qiuli finally had an opponent in Guinan, surrounded him with more than 100,000 people at once, and easily captured the Leizhou Peninsula and Guinan region, as the supreme commander of the Japanese theater, he knew what it meant.

More than 400,000 imperial troops, the Liangguang region that had been fought down hard, gained and lost, reinforcements from the mainland, the hope of landing on the Leizhou Peninsula and the Beibu Gulf, it was no longer possible, the 120,000 imperial troops in Nanning had already fallen to death, and what was even more serious was that the troops he led, if they could not break through the Loushan Pass defense line of the Zhengfu army of Zhina, could not capture Chongqing, and were blocked in northern Qianbei, in fact, they had fallen into the strategic encirclement of Tang Qiuli and the Zhengfu army of Zhina.

Terauchi Shouyi was horrified to find that after Tang Qiuli's troops swept through Guinan and Leizhou Peninsula, the main force of his dispatch army has become a lone army of hundreds of thousands of people, if Tang Qiuli went north and south from Guinan, he must be surrounded in front of Loushan Pass, and the fifteenth army under the mountain is a lesson from the past, looking around left and right, Terauchi Shouyi found that he was unconsciously caught in a huge net.

The nearest reinforcements are the troops of the two divisions operating on the border of China, Vietnam, and Burma, but with such a small number of troops, before they reach Chongqing, they will be consumed in the mountains and mountains, and they will be eaten by the local troops along the way.

He sent an urgent telegram to the base camp, explaining the dangerous situation facing the dispatch army, "The general staff of the base camp was transferred to His Majesty the Emperor, and in mid-July, since the South China Dispatch Army entered the China Campaign, the initial battle went smoothly, after the occupation of the Leizhou Peninsula and Nanning, and then the occupation of Guiyang, and when attacking Chongqing, the capital of China, it encountered stubborn resistance from the Zhina army at Loushan Pass. ”

"During this period, the 15th Army and Duyun, the main force of our dispatch army, were heavily damaged by the independent division of the devil Tang Qiuli of China, and the battle situation turned unfavorable.

"In view of this, I have a plan, I send the main force of the army to return to Nanning immediately, one can reopen the sea passage of the Beibu Gulf and the Leizhou Peninsula, and the two can solve the dilemma of Nanning I was besieged by the imperial army, if we insist on the Chongqing campaign, not only can the goal not be achieved, but the main force of the dispatched army is also in danger of being surrounded and northern Qianbei, and the lone army can not fight again, right, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."

Terauchi Shouichi saw the danger he was facing, he didn't want to fight, even the back road was cut off, supplies and ammunition could not be sent, and he could trap hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in front of Loushan Pass, however, Terauchi Shouichi was a little wishful thinking, according to the Japanese army's in-depth journey to northern Qianbei, there was no obstacle to reach Nanning, I am afraid it was too late, more than 1,000 kilometers of mountain roads, unless the Japanese flew back with wings.

The key is, can Tang Qiuli give him more than ten days? Not to mention, Tang Qiuli really gave the temple Shouyi time to come back to Nanning, he commanded Ma Chaoyang's corps, and after surrounding Nanning, he did not give the order for a general attack, Xue Yue held Loushan Pass, Chongqing is not in danger, in Xiangxi and northern Hubei areas, Tang Qiusheng's corps, which is ready to rescue Chongqing at any time, will free his hands and can join the Nanning battlefield.

There are many main forces in his hands, Tang Qiuli's attention, hit the main force of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army of Terauchi Shouichi, how much capital you have, how much you can do business, more than 400,000 troops, enough to eat Terauchi Shouichi, this bastard, so, Tang Qiuli ordered Ma Chaoyang, don't rush to attack Nanning, all the artillery, tanks, and rocket artillery of the directly subordinate corps have been given to you Commander Ma, first use the superior firepower to destroy the Japanese army's peripheral positions in Nanning, simmer slowly, and stew Shouichi in the temple.

Shouyi in the temple is in a hurry, let's not be in a hurry, "There are more than 200,000 troops in your hands, as well as a full set of heavy equipment in the directly subordinate corps, your Ma Chaoyang's appetite is only a hundred thousand Japanese troops in Nanning City?" The vision and courage are too small," Tang Qiuli said to Ma Chaoyang half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Ma Chaoyang pondered carefully for a while, and suddenly got his senses, and shouted excitedly: "Division Commander, didn't you take a fancy to the more than 300,000 little devils who were desperate with Xue Yue in Loushan Pass, northern Qianbei?" This is a big piece of fat meat, and besides, Commander Tang's corps went south to prepare a big meal for the old devil Shouichi Terauchi? My God, when this battle is over, there will be no little devils in Liangguang, okay, enjoyable! ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Okay, Commander Ma finally saw a few moves, to put it bluntly, this is a typical encirclement point to send reinforcements, if Terauchi Shouyi comes back to Nanning, from Qianbei to Guinan, a road of more than 1,000 kilometers, there are several ambush locations to choose from, and the eight brigades and troops directly under the corps on the western front of Duyun are busy, Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaimen, and they can intercept the retreating Japanese troops at any time, and it is not so easy for Terauchi Shouyi to go back. ”

"If Terauchi Shouichi insists on occupying Chongqing, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanning will be our dish, and then, the main army will march north, in front of Loushan Pass, it will be the burial place of Terauchi Shouichi, we will not suffer a loss, the Japanese are more anxious than us, and Nanning will surround it first."

Ma Chaoyang rubbed his hands excitedly, his own corps participated in the big battle that decided the Liangguang Shape shì, and several other veteran main corps did not catch up with such a good thing, looking at the excited Ma Chaoyang, Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head, he understood the mind of the commander of this newly formed corps.

However, I had to remind him a few words, "Commander Ma, don't worry about being happy, convene a military meeting, and convey my intentions to the belligerent brigade commanders below you, and make it clear, so as not to be anxious all day long, come to me to ask for war, and I have received more than a dozen copies of the war petition alone!" ”

Ma Chaoyang went in a hurry, Tang Qiuli turned around and asked Chang Feng: "Chief of Staff Chang, where has the Sulu Mobile Corps arrived?" Chang Feng replied very accurately: "At eighteen o'clock yesterday evening, I have arrived in Guilin, northeast of Guangxi, and in front of me, I am heading towards Liuzhou, and it is expected that I can reach Liuzhou before ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Tang Qiuli nodded, very satisfied with the speed of Brother Qiusheng's troops, and instructed Chang Feng: "Okay, send a telegram to the Sulu Mobile Corps, after the corps arrives in Liuzhou, the troops will immediately divide into two routes, respectively into Yizhou and Heshan, these are two good places to ambush, the Sulu Mobile Corps ambushed halfway, Terauchi Shouichi can go to the vicinity of Nanning, there is probably not much left, and there are directly subordinate corps following the pursuit, the situation of the Japanese army can only be completely annihilated." ”

Terauchi Shouichi is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious to turn around, his telegram to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, has been sent for two days, and has not yet received a callback, more than 300,000 troops, in Loushan Pass and the Central Army under the command of Xue Yue, against consumption, Xue Yue has a bottom in his heart, and he has disabled a division, and he will supplement a division from the second-line troops assembled in the Jiangjin area.

Calling back and forth, the Central Army troops are not few, Terauchi Shouichi is not good, he is pouring out of the nest, all the troops are there; The first line of Loushan Pass, the rear supply line of Guinan and Leizhou Peninsula, was cut off by Tang Qiuli's independent division troops, not to mention the soldiers, even the ammunition and supplies were consumed less.

After surviving the initial ferocious attack of the Japanese army, Xue Yue stood firm in Loushan Pass, and the more he fought in his heart, the more confident he became, the Japanese would definitely not be able to pass Loushan Pass, the bigwigs inside the national government and more than one million citizens of Chongqing were staring at the Loushan Pass defense line, Xue Yue knew in his heart, he could hand in a very satisfactory answer.

Up to now, Xue Yue didn't want the Japanese army to retreat in the face of difficulties, and he had a new idea, if he could drag the temple Shouyi and more than 300,000 Japanese troops to death in front of Loushan Pass, this feat would be great, and among the top senior generals, he was also the first general to eliminate more than 300,000 Japanese troops.

Xue Yue wanted to fight, but the temple Shouyi had no intention of fighting, his current situation was not only embarrassing, but also extremely dangerous, in the process of retreating to Nanning, if the hundreds of thousands of Nazheng Fu troops on the front line of Loushan Pass followed the pursuit, it was not easy for the imperial army to get out if they wanted to go, Tang Qiu was away from the battle and set two Guangzhou, which was regarded as forcing the temple Shouyi to a dead end.
