Chapter 993: Closing the door and beating the dog

Under the city of Duyun, Fengwen under the mountain who stormed Xiyun Peak, did not know that Tang Qiuli's operation against him had been launched, and the logistics supply line from Nanning to Dushan and Duyun was harassed by the small group of armed forces as always, but it was never interrupted, and all kinds of materials and ammunition were continuously sent to the front line of Xiyun Peak to meet the daily massive consumption of the 15th Army.

More than 100,000 people from the 10 brigades of the directly subordinate corps, covering their whereabouts, quietly approaching Dushan and Duyun, this is Tang Qiuli's request to the troops, when the Central Army's Guiyang defense battle has not yet begun, covertly complete the encirclement of the Japanese army under the mountain Fengwen, especially the two brigades led by Chang Feng, must not alarm the Japanese defenders in Dushan.

More than 100,000 people, over the mountains and mountains, leaving the main road not to go, specially picking some mountain paths to march, sometimes, there is not even a road, in this regard, the brigade commanders of the directly subordinate corps have quite complained, not for anything else, all the heavy equipment, are forced to stay in Libo, so that the war has always been full of confidence, mechanization Cheng dΓΉ is very high directly under the corps of the troops, very uncomfortable, why can't you see the iron flow of tanks, artillery carts, empty in the heart, as if there is a lot less to rely on.

The soldiers, who are accustomed to sitting in cars, are miserable to climb over mountains and mountains in the hot and humid climate of southern Qiannan in July, and they complain to some extent, leaving the main road and not walking, not sitting in cars, and preferring to drill ravines and climb high posts, I don't know what the division commander thinks? These situations were reflected in Tang Qiuli's ears, and he didn't say anything.

Refused the horses brought by the special guards, with Mei Xue, like the soldiers, marching on two legs, Tang Qiuli had his own plan, his purpose was to suddenly appear behind Yamashita Fengwen, to achieve the suddenness of the battle, not only to solve the battle as much as possible. It also reduces casualties.

At the same time, he also found that since the transformation of the directly subordinate corps into a mechanized army, the troops' dependence on vehicles has become increasingly strict, and the march is inseparable from four wheels, and the future battlefields in Southeast Asia are mostly jungles and mountains. There are not many areas that can be used for the deployment of mechanized corps, and they rely on vehicles. will limit the mobility of the troops, and without cars, tanks and artillery, there will be no war.

It seems that all the soldiers of the directly subordinate corps, including officers at all levels, have forgotten the old traditions. Taking this opportunity, Tang Qiuli wanted them to relive their previous memories, and when they saw that the division commander and Secretary Mei were walking the same way, the soldiers who were complaining and saying strange things couldn't help but stick out their tongues and march honestly step by step. After walking for two or three days, I gradually got used to it.

Arriving near Danzhai in the southeast of Duyun, Tang Qiuli ordered the troops to hide on the spot. Then a military meeting was held, a large cave, which could accommodate hundreds of people, became a natural conference room, and this meeting, including the regimental officers of each brigade, came in from the hot outside, and a cool breath came to the face. The heat of the whole body disappeared in an instant.

After dozens of officers were neatly done, they waited for the division commander to speak. But Tang Qiuli just stared at everyone, and didn't speak for a long time. There seemed to be a trace of anger in his eyes, which made these officers who were smiling proudly furious, and when they were guessing, Tang Qiuli finally spoke.

"It's been hard work for you in the past few days, don't sit in a comfortable car, don't take a good road, you have to drill the ravine, all of you here must have muttered secretly, am I Tang Qiuli fooling around?" Saying this, Tang Qiuli's tone changed to stern, and his face became cold.

"Have you ever thought about it, if the car breaks down, runs out of gas, is blown up by a Japanese plane, if it is all mountain roads, and you can't walk the car, what will we do? The battle is not fighting? Waiting for the car to be fixed? I see that you will not march on foot, if it was in the past, these mountain roads, we would have arrived a day earlier than now, all the brigade seats and regimental seats, they have become masters," these words made the officers at all levels red-faced, and the division commander never said such mean words, thinking about his own appearance, it was bad enough.

Tang Qiuli's tone slowed down, and then said: "Okay, I won't say too much, and then this opportunity to fight against the Japanese Fifteenth Army, each brigade should carry out targeted mountain and jungle training, I order, the fifth brigade this night, through the main road between Dushan and Duyun, into the west of Duyun to busy, the sixth brigade to Kaimen, the seventh brigade to Jiangzhou, the eighth brigade to Pinglang, the task of each brigade is to block the retreat of Fengwen under the mountain, block the Japanese reinforcements that may come from the direction of Huaxi, the above troops set off overnight, Be sure to arrive at the designated location within 24 hours. ”

Tang Qiuli deployed his troops in this way to prevent Fengwen from fleeing west to Guiyang after being attacked, although from Duyun to Guiyang, it was a rugged mountain road, in order to escape, the Japanese army would also take this direction, but also to warn the Japanese army in the middle of the road to rescue Fengwen under the mountain, there was Xiyun Peak in front of it could not be crossed, and then there were two brigades of Changfeng approaching from the direction of Dushan, there were four brigades on the left and right, and the situation of catching turtles in the urn, a big pocket was opened, and Fengwen under the mountain could not escape.

At the same time, Tang Qiuli also ordered Ma Chaoyang's corps to advance to Yulin in southern Guinan, to contain the Japanese army that might land from the Beibu Gulf and march north to reinforce Fengwen at the foot of the mountain.

After settling the troops, Tang Qiuli took the special guards, quietly left the troop station, and went to the direction of Xiyun Peak, the four brigade commanders who stayed in the east of Duyun strongly opposed the division commander's personal risk, there were tens of thousands of Japanese troops on the side of Xiyun Peak, and the security problem could not be guaranteed, if you want to go to reconnoitre, you can send the reconnaissance battalions of each brigade to go, and the division commander cannot go in person.

Tang Qiuli has his own reasons, Fengwen under the mountain is already red-eyed in Xiyun Peak, and he can't care about other aspects, in the lofty mountains and mountains of southern Qiannan, there is nothing safer than a small army, and besides, checking the terrain is the primary condition for arranging combat tasks, and no one has screwed him, in Mei Xueqian's instructions and the worried eyes of the brigade commanders, Tang Qiuli and Shanhu took more than a hundred special guards and hid in the dark night.

When the sky was just brightening, Tang Qiu was close to the Longtoujiang Bridge from them, and after getting in touch with the reinforcement group that had arrived nearby in advance, accompanied by the regiment commander, quietly approached the right side of the bridge, in the dawn of dawn, the Longtoujiang Bridge was shrouded in a mist, and the river water that had surged a few days ago had fallen a lot.

On the grassy riverbed, there are still traces of the flood, the Japanese army moved fast enough, only ten days, on both sides of the Longtou River Bridge, built four artillery towers, on the bridge, there are several groups of Japanese soldiers, armed with live ammunition cross patrol, it seems that both Yamashita Fengfumi and the General Headquarters of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army have attached great importance to maintaining the lifeline of the offensive Duyun.

On the bridge, from time to time, a group of cars full of supplies and canvas passed, this originally narrow and rugged mountain road, the Japanese army logistics troops widened and repaired, and they were able to run away from the trucks, Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction, the Japanese finally did something good, and when they launched an attack on Yamashita Fengwen, this road was just for the mechanized troops of the directly subordinate corps to quickly advance to Duyun.

Just when Tang Qiuli went to Duyun to inspect the terrain, Guo Huawen in Duyun City received a telegram from Liu Zhi, "Guo Huawen, commander of the 19th Group Army of the Duyun Front, after receiving this order, transferred the troops of the two armies and rushed to Guiyang to participate in the defense of Guiyang, and the rest of the defense was taken over by the 11th Group Army. ”

After reading the telegram, Guo Huawen tore the telegram to shreds in a few handfuls, what is Liu Zhi going to do? The Japanese army frantically attacked Xiyun Peak and fought in a stalemate, can the troops be withdrawn? Now, there are less than 50,000 people left in his hands, and he has transferred two armies, nearly 30,000 people, how can he still hold Duyun, how can he fight this battle?

said that he sent troops from the 11th Group Army of his descendants to take over the defense, but he fought so hard in Duyun, Liu Zhi held more than 90,000 people in his hands, just stood still, watching the soldiers of the 19th Group Army, fighting to the death with the Japanese, even if the two armies were transferred, who could guarantee that Liu Zhi would send troops.

This is Liu Zhi racked his brains to come up with an idea, he didn't dare if Guiyang didn't send troops, he didn't dare to send troops to Guiyang, he was full of honor and disgrace, it was all given by the old man, he annoyed him, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat, Guo Huawen's troops could not be transferred, Duyun could not afford to lose, his own descendant of the Eleventh Group Army, he must not be sent to the big hole in Duyun, so Liu Zhi did not want to send his descendants to Guiyang, nor did he want to lose Duyun, so he thought of such a bad idea.

According to his plan, Guo Huawen has more than 80,000 people, and more than 20,000 people are transferred out, and he can support it in Duyun, he didn't think about it, after more than ten days of bloody battles with the Japanese army, the 19th Group Army was reduced by more than half, and he still has the ability to transfer troops? Liu Zhi considered these fundamentally.

This is a military order, Guo Huawen did not dare to disobey, he knew that Liu Zhi was a person, and knew that Liu Zhi's promise to take over the troops of Duyun Defense was very likely to be a lie from this guy, so he also came up with a means, "Commander-in-Chief Liu is honored, Duyun is in a tight war, and all the troops in the department have been put into the front line and are in a state of stalemate with the Japanese army." ”

"At this time, the rash withdrawal of troops may endanger the security of the Duyun front, but the humble duty resolutely carries out the commander-in-chief's order, and after the troops sent by the 11th Group Army take over the defense of our two armies, the troops transferred to Guiyang by the 19th Group Army can quickly move westward.

He knew that Liu Zhi would definitely not be satisfied, and he would be furious, but he could only do this, he would treat Liu Zhi's army with more than 90,000 troops, and he was reluctant to use it, and he had to draw troops from Duyun, which was already tight, and he thought about it, Guo Huawen waited for Liu Zhi's callback, ready to fight a few more lawsuits, and when he looked up, he saw Chutian walking in, still holding a telegram in his hand.
