Chapter 1013 Guiyang is lost
Yamashita Fengwen's desperate telegram, Terauchi Shouichi has read it many times, and once he reads it, the sorrow in his heart will be more than once, and he tried to find out the reason for the destruction of the 15th Army from this telegram, as the saying goes, "A man's words are also good," hoping that this arrogant guy can provide something valuable at the last moment of his life.
"Since under the command of Your Excellency, since the attack on the southern region of China, from Dushan to Duyun before, all the way to destroy the Zhina army like a wind sweeping away the leaves, but, Duyun's Xiyun Peak, can be said to be a turning point in the fate of my fifteenth army, the opponent of this battle is the 19th Group Army of the Zhina government army, only with Xiyunfeng alone, to block my more than 90,000 emperor ** team and Duyun City for more than 20 days, it can be seen that among the government army of China, there are also troops with strong combat effectiveness."
"Although the soldiers of China resisted stubbornly, under the superior firepower of our imperial army troops and the heroic battles of the samurai, the staff is confident that in five days, they will be able to conquer Duyun City, and completely annihilate the government troops of China, and the other two imperial army troops will join the division under the city of Guiyang."
"However, there was a sudden turning point in the course of the battle, and the troops of the Devil Tang Qiuli suddenly appeared behind our army, and since then, the battlefield has reversed in a direction unfavorable to the imperial army, and if the fifteenth army is stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, with the careful deployment of His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the two lines of our imperial army can also form a counter-encirclement of the independent division troops in Duyun."
"However, God did not bless our fifteenth army, and the equipment of the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli of China greatly surprised the humble position, and mobilized the firepower of hundreds of planes and at least five artillery brigades to deal a devastating blow to me, among which the most terrible was the troops of the independent division of China. Artillery has never been seen before, and since then. The fate of the Fifteenth Army was already sealed. ”
"Humble and lowly built yì. In the future, when fighting against the troops of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, it is imperative to concentrate absolutely superior forces and firepower, concentrate air units, and gain air supremacy. There is hope for victory, there is no hope of breaking through, I Yamashita Fengwen is determined to cut his own belly, vowing not to be a prisoner of inferior China, God bless my Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Emperor! Yamashita is a masterpiece. ”
Shouyi in the temple is already in tears, and it is the devil Tang Qiuli again. From the fiasco of Masaharu Honma's Red Water River to the annihilation of Toyun's army under Yamashita Fufumi, there have been two lieutenant generals and commanders of the Imperial Army who have been planted in the hands of this person. One death and one resignation, from Manchuria in North China to North China, from East China to South China, how many outstanding generals and brave soldiers of the empire died at the hands of this person, is he the nemesis of our Imperial Japanese Army?
Shouichi Terauchi suddenly remembered something, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and the troops mobilized from Taiwan and Hainan Island. After the landing in the Beibu Gulf, he went north to rescue Yamashita Fengwen. Now, the Fifteenth Army has been wiped out. Yamashita Fengwen had already died in battle, and there was no need for rescue, but the troops were still on the front line of Wuming.
Judging from the situation of the Duyun Western Front, the troops of the Independent Division desperately blocking the imperial troops advancing eastward from Guiyang, Tang Qiuli obviously did not want to fight on both sides, could it be that his vicious eyes were eyeing the Imperial Army troops from Nanning to Duyun in the north, and the agents lurking in Guangzhou sent information a few days ago that a corps of the Independent Division stationed in Guangzhou had left Guangzhou and moved west to the Wuzhou line, and the goal of this corps should be my northward rescue corps.
Thinking of this, Terauchi Shou couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately issued an order, "The rescue corps of Duyun in the north will immediately withdraw to Nanning from Wuming, and there will be no delay along the way, pay attention to searching for the enemy situation within 50 kilometers of the two wings, and if it encounters a small force of China, it can be dispersed and not entangled. ”
He also ordered the dispatch of military aviation units to immediately dispatch reconnaissance planes to continuously reconnoiter the situation of the Chinese army within several hundred kilometers of the northward advance troops' retreat to Nanning, especially whether the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli were trying to approach Nanning.
Terauchi Shouichi was indeed cunning, he expected a possible crisis, and also judged that if Tang Qiuli wanted to attack this army, it was a tactical means that must be adopted to outflank the two wings, and then, he gave orders to the troops who were still desperately attacking the four passages.
"The rescue force of Guiyang to the east immediately stopped attacking the key points of the defense of the independent division, and the whole army returned to Guiyang to continue to carry out the Guiyang campaign plan," In fact, the more than 300,000 troops of Terauchi Shouichi fought very hard in all directions of Binghu, Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaikou.
In this generation, the terrain is very complicated, all are rugged mountain roads, stretching mountains, dense jungles, in the mountains, hunters and medicine farmers step out of a path, in some places, it is difficult for the two to walk side by side, the troops of the independent division, occupy several dangerous passes, condescending, two or three light machine guns, can block a mountain road, natural caves, and are good bunkers.
It is conducive to defense but not conducive to attack, and the hardships suffered by the Japanese army can be imagined when fighting under such natural conditions, and the heavy equipment cannot be transported at all, only the mortars carried on their shoulders can be regarded as heavy weapons to support the attack, but the number of mortars of independent divisions is more than double that of the Japanese army.
Every time more than 100 soldiers climbed up, when they came back, they either saw the bloody corpses that were dragged, or the wounded who broke their hands and feet on the stretcher, moaning and wailing, and fought for several days, and the Japanese commanders who attacked from all directions were also discouraged.
The number of casualties has been reduced, and looking at the logistics and supply, it has become a problem for the Japanese troops, more than 300,000 people, just eating dumplings every day, it is an astonishing number, fortunately, there are babbling streams everywhere, otherwise, more than 300,000 Japanese soldiers can die of thirst in the mountains.
There is also a tacit reason, for hundreds of kilometers of dangerous terrain like Tongguò, to come to the rescue of Yamashita Fengwen, these Japanese generals, their hearts are not very positive, and even some negative sabotage, Yamashita Fengwen This guy, usually arrogant nostrils to the sky, and these people get along, definitely not friendly.
As far as he Yamashita Fengwen is loyal to the Emperor and does his best for the Japanese Empire, other people and other troops are dispensable roles, such a mentality, can the popularity be good, when the task was assigned, this guy took a direction by himself, for fear that others would share his credit, this time, he was surrounded, and he needed us to come to the rescue, finally the Japanese were united enough, and they did not publicly express their schadenfreude, as for what they thought in their hearts, only they themselves knew.
After spending more than 20 days in the barren mountains and mountains, the exhausted Japanese troops received an order from Terauchi Shouichi that they would not want to stay longer for a minute if they were amnestied, and immediately began to return to Guiyang.
In Mashan, in the headquarters of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Tang Qiuli was looking at the telegram from Yang Ketian on the western front of Duyun, in addition to reporting in detail the news of the Japanese army's retreat, Yang Ketian also conveyed the opinions of the brigade commanders, and immediately sent troops to Binghu, Jiangzhou, Pinglang, and Kaikou, followed the troops pursuing the Japanese army's westward retreat to Guiyang, and looked for an opportunity to annihilate one of them.
Tang Qiuli immediately replied to the telegram, negating the construction of Yang Ketian and others, the natural conditions are the same for both sides, and the heavy weapons of their own troops cannot be transported over, once out of the mountains, there is a danger of being bitten by the Japanese army with superior forces, such a cheap can not be touched, not to mention, the Japanese army is not a rout.
At the same time, the Japanese army that stayed on the front line of Wuming began to retreat to Nanning, according to the intelligence, the Japanese army retreated very nervously, and the speed was extremely fast, Tang Qiuli Yangyang had the information in his hand, and said to Ma Chaoyang: "Commander Ma, Terauchi Shou has shrunk his forces at the beginning, your big fish is going to run, and it will be up to you below." ”
After speaking, with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran left the command headquarters, the battle plan is certain, and he doesn't need to worry about the next thing, walking back to the room, Tang Qiuli asked Chen Feng to give such an order to the eight brigades of the directly subordinate corps on the western front of Duyun, "All units are stationed in place, and they must find or open up a road that can transport medium-sized equipment." ”
He also ordered Chang Feng to lead four brigades of troops, while pursuing and annihilating the remnants of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army, to spread out along the line of Guiding, Zunyi, and Nanchuan, ready to respond to the actions of Tang Qiusheng's corps near Chongqing.
He encircled and annihilated the 15th Army of Fengwen under the mountain and attracted the main force of the Japanese army besieging Guiyang to move eastward, and he had already given the Central Army on the front line of Guiyang more than 20 days of precious time, as for whether he could take this opportunity to hold Guiyang, it was not within his ability.
The Japanese army retreated, and Guiyang re-became the target of Terauchi Shouichi, and it is inconceivable to say that the Japanese army in the periphery of Guiyang had only one Seventh Army, but more than 70,000 people, while the Central Army troops of the Guiyang defense line had more than 400,000 people, and the number of troops was more than six times that of the Japanese army.
But in this precious more than 20 days, the defenders of Guiyang did not move, without the concern of Yamashita Fengwen, Terauchi Shou will never be distracted again, he urgently needs a victory, to encourage the demoralization caused by the annihilation of the Japanese army of the 15th Army, the main force returned to the periphery of Guiyang The next day, a large-scale attack on Guiyang was launched.
On July 27, the Japanese army besieged Guiyang from three sides, on the same day, the battle was fierce, the central army lost all the peripheral positions, forced to shrink into the city, on the 28th, the Japanese army attacked Guiyang City, three days of tragic street fighting, the central army lost more than 50,000 troops, and was gradually compressed to the northwest of Guiyang City,
By the evening of July 31, Guiyang fell, and the defenders of Guiyang of the Central Army were forced to retreat to Xifeng and Zunyi to re-arm, and the south gate of Chongqing was suddenly opened, and more than 300,000 Japanese troops pointed directly at Chongqing.
