Chapter 513 The shape shì is getting better

Yan Xishan thought of Han Fuyu, and shook his head again and again, the heat is too poor, he can't cultivate at home, he has lost his territory and has no soldiers, what are you Han Fuyu going to call Jiang someone for, it's not the meat on the board, the chicken that plucks the feathers, look at it, Han Xiangfang has no good fruit to eat.

What's more, I broke my muscles and bones in Datong, you Tang Qiuli can no longer force me, increase troops in the direction of Niangzi Pass, there are already five divisions, more than 60,000 people have been sent to his mouth, my old man doesn't know that the flesh hurts, that's really a melon home.

Yan Xishan killed three birds with one stone, not only blocked Tang Qiuli's mouth, complained to Nanjing, but also recovered the territory, and did not have to continue to lose his old book, and increased troops to Niangziguan, and others could not help when they fought, it was really a good scheming and good calculation, which was indeed admirable.

When Tang Qiuli received the Shanxi war report from Nanjing, he was whispering with Mei Ting, in the past two days, the couple had endless words, maybe her husband was by her side, and her spirit was extremely happy, Mei Ting's injuries recovered at an astonishing speed, but her body was still weak, and her delicate appearance made Tang Qiu want to take her in her mouth.

Tang Qiuli changed the way to increase Mei Ting's nutrition, and brought out all the skills brought from later generations, not letting anyone interfere at all, Mei Ting's daily diet was personally handled, using all her strength, fragrant, light and delicious and very nutritious meals, not repeated every day, making a ward full of aroma, like a restaurant, Mei Ting's appetite was great, and the flush that had disappeared for a long time quietly climbed up to her fair cheeks.

Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming, who came to ask for work, couldn't help but swallow saliva every time, and the mountain tiger who didn't leave for a moment had to run out when Mei Ting was eating, and took a large piece of meat to satisfy her hunger, but she always felt that the fragrance in her nose lingered, and Mei Ting was even more surprised, since she got married, she has been taking care of Tang Qiuli's life.

I didn't expect that my husband still had this hand, he was really a mystery-like man, when he thought of his head thinking about military affairs, racking his brains for meals every day, Mei Ting's eyes couldn't help but smile like a crescent moon, and he was happy to let her husband feed the delicious food to his mouth, whenever this happened, Mei Ting's heart would be filled with happiness.

The doctors and nurses on duty, seeing the division commander's expression, were all sighed and moved, the general who commanded thousands of troops, such a chivalrous and soft intestine, especially those young female nurses, whenever they saw this scene, they were moved to the redness of their eyes, and they couldn't wait to lie on the hospital bed It was themselves, Tang Qiuli, which became the scenery that never faded in their spring dreams,

However, Mei Ting also carefully felt that Tang Qiuli always had a sense of guilt in her heart, and Mei Ting, who was smart and understanding, did not say anything, perhaps, this is the best way for her husband to express her feelings, in her heart, there was no trace of blame and blame for Tang Qiuli, and she was very distressed when she saw her husband lose weight.

At this moment, Tang Qiuli, who was lying on the floor, saw the battle report, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, Mei Ting immediately widened her beautiful eyes and looked at her husband inquiringly, Tang Qiuli read the telegram to Mei Ting while laughing, Mei Ting also smiled, she liked to see her husband happy, Yan Xishan bypassed himself, the supreme commander of the war zone, and sent the war report directly to Nanjing, which was a little careful and let him see through it at a glance.

However, in any case, Datong won the battle, so that he relieved his worries about that direction, this is a good thing, that iron abacus, never do loss-making transactions, no, just invest some capital, will soon have interest, if Datong really fights like that, Yan Xishan will not be able to shout that the whole world knows that he has suffered a big loss.

In the direction of Niangzi Pass, because the Japanese army was always in a state of oppression, unable to attack, and did not retreat, the battle situation was stalemate, Feng Jiwu reorganized the steps of the Jin army's troops, and it was very smooth, taking advantage of several favorable fighters to let the Jin army cooperate with the independent division troops to do local counterattacks, and achieved corresponding results.

This fight, the situation came out, the commander of the Jin army, where can he adapt to the tactics and fighting style of the independent division, the soldier's su zhì, is even worse, the communication and liaison is not like the independent division of the troops, the walkie-talkie equipment is up to the company level, often when the battle is about to end, the Jin army troops rushed to the battlefield in a chaotic manner.

Feng Jiwu didn't expect them to have any effect, now, there are reasons and excuses, from the division commander to the regiment commander, the dismissal of those who are dismissed, and those who are sent back to Taiyuan will be sent away immediately, and Yan Xishan's old foundation will be cleaned up, everyone has real faults, although they cried in front of Yan Xishan, Chief Yan had no choice, knowing that these five divisions were no longer surnamed Yan, he was distressed, and he was not very kind to these wretched.

Sent away these stumbling blocks, Feng Jiwu carried out a drastic reorganization of the original Jin Army troops, five divisions, all changed to a brigade-level system, brigade commanders and regiment commanders, promoted from independent divisions at all levels of deputy positions, only the former Jin Army 91st Division Chief of Staff Zhou Zhenhui, served as the brigade commander, this is also the only person in the Niangziguan Jin Army troops who has been reused, it can be seen that it is gold, and sooner or later it will shine.

Middle and lower-level officers, Feng Jiwu adopted a rotation method, the battalion and company platoon commanders of the original Jin Army, all to the independent division troops, as the corresponding deputy positions, and then from the independent division troops, transfer a full set of commanders, this is also Feng Jiwu's cleverness, do not transfer troops, change generals, the so-called "will be the courage of the soldiers", this is the truth, to say, the soldiers of the Jin army, are all good, as long as they take it well, do not worry about not becoming the main force of the independent division.

There are two brigades of troops, Feng Jiwu did not dare to mix with the officers of the Jin army, this is the pillar of his Niangziguan defense line, not to be careless, now, Feng Jiwu's hands, there are 130,000 troops, and the strength of the Japanese army on the opposite side is equal, however, the combat effectiveness is uneven, he does not dare to use such a force, a comprehensive counterattack against the Japanese army, can only be on the defensive.

From west to east, along the battle line of the Yellow River, a small victory in the direction of Datong, you can be safe, the direction of Niangzi Pass is not a problem, and there is no need to worry, the battlefield of Taihang Mountain, the Japanese army is still advancing step by step, because of its superiority, the Ma Chaoyang Brigade and Jiang Yanming Brigade of the inner line, temporarily dormant in the Huangya Cave, the first cavalry brigade Liu Chun Division, the second cavalry brigade Tong Batu Division, because of the Japanese hedgehog gathering, no fighters can be found, and they are also hidden and waiting.

The general situation is that the direction of Datong and Niangziguan is in a stalemate situation, the Taihang Mountain is in the main attack of the Japanese army, and the Taihang Mountain Combat Corps is retreating step by step.

Since the main force of more than 80,000 troops led by Li Honggang and the more than 120,000 troops of Tang Qiusheng's unit of the Sulu Mobile Corps joined the Dezhou battlefield and gathered in the Dezhou battlefield, the total strength of the independent division's third-route troops has reached 380,000, far exceeding the strength of the Japanese army, which has been repeatedly battered, and has become the largest combat corps in the northern battlefield of the independent division.

On 20 November, the Dezhou Campaign Command, composed of Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, and Li Honggang, reported the latest operational plan to Tang Qiuli, the division commander who accompanied Mei Ting to recuperate from her wounds in Huangyadong.

And the battlefield firepower, is also far inferior to our army, the Texas battlefield, with the conditions for the total annihilation of the Japanese army or the annihilation of most of it, the main point of the plan is that the troops are divided into three routes, with the frontal battlefield to tightly press the Japanese army, the left and right flanks are outflanked, and strive to encircle the main force of the Japanese army in the area of Lianzhen and Botou.

Tang Qiuli's campaign concept, in the end, did not change the general direction, he immediately approved the battle plan of the Dezhou Campaign Command, as for the specific way to fight, he did not have to worry about it, that direction, concentrated the three generals of the independent division, nearly 400,000 elite divisions.

On 22 November, the day the Jin army's Datong counterattack began, Li Honggang's division of the left-wing group of the Dezhou battlefield, with a force of 100,000 troops, suddenly launched an attack, forcibly crossed the South Canal, broke the defense of the Japanese Ninth Division, and divided the troops into Kejing County, Fucheng, Wuqiang, Xian County and other places, seized Hengshui, and guarded against the enemy coming to the aid of Shijiazhuang.

The right-wing group Liu Tiehan's division, with 90,000 troops and a large number of artillery units, crossed the Xinhe River of the Zhangwei River, was stubbornly blocked by the 17th Division of the Japanese Army, the attack was frustrated, and then bombarded the Japanese positions with fierce artillery fire, and after three hours of fierce fighting, the 17th Division of the Japanese Army suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to abandon the defense line on the north bank of the Zhangwei Xinhe River and retreat to the north bank of the Yihui River to build a new blocking defense line.

Before long, the pursuit of the independent division arrived, covered the unfinished fortifications of the Japanese army with intensive artillery fire, opened many ferries on the Yihui River, conquered many Japanese defensive points such as Yanshan, Mengcun, Dongguang, etc., and pointed directly at Cangzhou, divided the troops one step, seized the first line of Yaoguantun and Xingji in Cangbei, and alerted the enemy who came to Tianjin to help, and the Japanese 17th Division was defeated and took Cangzhou.

More than 200,000 people under the headquarters of Tang Qiusheng of the Central Group launched a full-line attack on the Japanese army in front of them, the battlefield artillery fire was continuous, the smoke of gunpowder covered the sun, the Japanese artillery was suppressed by the superior artillery fire of the independent division, so that the Japanese army who was entrenched suffered greatly, and the forward positions were all destroyed, and the Japanese commander faced an unfavorable situation, and issued an order to retreat on the whole line, one retreat to Wuqiao, then retreat to Anling, and three retreats to Lianzhen, between Nanpi and Cangzhou, according to the terrain to hold firmly.

The situation of the battle changed suddenly, and the Japanese army, which was originally attacking on all fronts, suffered setbacks in two places. The unexpected situation of the troops in Dezhou, which had so far gained nothing, had fallen into the encirclement of the superior forces of the independent division and were in danger of being completely annihilated, which greatly surprised the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Xiangyue Qingji, who was sitting in Niangzi Pass, and Prince Xianyuan Gongzai, the chief of the general staff of the base camp in Beiping.

They also finally realized the distress of using troops to the limit, and they couldn't draw troops in that direction to reinforce the Texas direction, they never expected that the independent division troops in the Songhu direction on the southern front would suddenly return north and join the Texas battlefield, and what surprised them even more was that Tang Qiuli actually ignored the old nest and dared to send troops to reinforce Texas, no matter what they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't guess that Tang Qiuli had taken a risky move.
