Chapter 520: Battle Martial Township

Since entering the Taihang Mountains to the city of Wuxiang, these small staff officers have fully understood the donkey temper of His Excellency the Chief of Staff of Yamaguchi, and there is a slight disobedience, and a stinky scolding is drizzle, and the big mouth with fists and feet is also commonplace, Your Excellency has a new neurasthenia, especially when sleeping, and the most resentful of being disturbed.

Look at Your Excellency's sleeping posture now, as sweet as a pig, the staff officer thinks about it, the furious eyes of His Excellency the Chief of Staff who was disturbed by a good dream, his heart is bursting out, and he just doesn't dare to scream, the commander of the Sixth Division at the other end, Nakajima, is also angry, and the two wings that attacked Wuxiang hit their heads on the iron plate and withdrew, but a little more than one wing, thousands of soldiers, fell under the city of Wuxiang, and the chief of staff is still in the mood to sleep? Looking at the defense system of the Jin army, this is not a job that the Sixth Division can do.

Yamaguchi, who was woken up from a good dream, really had black lines on his face, his eyes were shining fiercely, he stared at the little staff officer with good eyes, and his left hand was groping under the pillow, not knowing whether to touch the gun or find the knife, and finally fatigued and relaxed, and could sleep sweetly, but was disturbed by this idiot, Yamaguchi was so angry

The poor little staff officer was trembling in his legs, and seeing that the momentum was not right, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Report to Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the commander of the Sixth Division Nakajima Division made an urgent call, and the frustrated troops in the attack on Wuxiang suffered heavy casualties."

"Hani?" Yamaguchi's sleepiness was swept away, attention was attracted to the past, the little staff officer breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his head, my emperor is big, he finally escaped a catastrophe, Yamaguchi, who is holding the phone, the more he listens, the more his face is blue, if people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and they will smash their heels when they fart, and the small Wuxiang County, where have so many Zhina troops appeared, and they have also built complete fortifications.

It's really a hell of a life, it must be a good thing for that devil Tang Qiuli to do, he tried his best to hold me back in the Taihang Mountains, and ordered Yan Xishan to mobilize a large number of troops, rush ahead of me, build fortifications, and turn the originally vulnerable Wuxiang into an insurmountable fortress, Yamaguchi cursed Tang Qiuli with hatred in his mouth, and suddenly became angry, dropped the phone, and shouted loudly to the dumbfounded little staff officer: "Baga pig's head, hurry up and prepare the car, I want to rush to the front line"

The small staff officer rushed out as if he had been amnestied, and with this violent boss, at least ten years less to live, Yamaguchi rushed to the front line of Wuxiang, and as soon as he met Nakajima, the commander of the Sixth Division with a gloomy face, he was taken aback by the situation in front of him, Wuxiang completely turned into a fortress, countless pillboxes, hidden forts, and fortifications extended to both sides, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers fell in front of the position one by one.

The reason why Wuxiang became like this is due to Yan Xishan, don't look at his usual cunning, calculating, and family-protecting concepts, it is still full of weight, in the absence of other people's troops to take the lead, he gave up his old book, and gave a death order, to rush to Wuxiang's troops, must arrive within three days, car transport, 140,000 Jin troops, and rush to Wuxiang at the specified time.

Yan Xishan himself served as the commander of the Wuxiang garrison, personally visited Wuxiang to supervise, what was needed, and it was transported from Taiyuan immediately, he knew very well that this was a race for time with the Japanese, how many troops Tang Qiuli had in his hands, he estimated that it was about the same, he originally thought that it would be good to be able to hold off the Japanese for six or seven days, who would have thought that Tang Qiuli had bought him eleven days, and the old man was personally watching here, how dare the Jin army be negligent, which made Wuxiang's defense more perfect.

The old man thought that Tang Qiuli had 30,000 people and fought for more than 100,000 Japanese troops, all for himself, and he was moved in his heart.

Since 10 December, the city of Wuxiang has never been calm, the Japanese army has launched large-scale attacks one after another, on a front of more than 40 kilometers, the sound of artillery rumbles, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, fierce battles have occurred on the whole line, the soldiers on both sides are red-eyed, the mountains are shouting and the tsunami are fighting eye to eye, there are complete fortifications, and the Jin army has been fully prepared, the Japanese army's offensive like a tide, how can it achieve the expected results.

After three days of fierce fighting, the Jin army's Wuxiang defense line did not lose an inch of land, like nails, firmly nailed to the south gate of Taiyuan, the main attacking Japanese army, hit the head and bleed, heavy casualties, the loss of the Jin army, slightly smaller than the Japanese army, the mountain pass could not be attacked.

If you can't attack, you have to attack, there is a death order of Kazuki Kiyoji there, Yamaguchi can only fight hard, and in the end, the exhausted Japanese army had to stop temporarily, their logistics supply, there was a problem, the transportation line was cut off by Tang Qiuli's troops, and they had to retreat five kilometers to rest.

The exhausted Jin army, taking this opportunity, replenished a large number of ammunition and materials, backed by Taiyuan, the supply was more convenient than the Japanese army, in view of the loss of the front-line troops, Yan Xishan sent his own personal guards, the independent third brigade, to the front line, the old man made a bloody investment, and was determined to block the Japanese at the last pass out of the Taihang Mountain, and the battle situation in Wuxiang was temporarily stalemate here.

Sending off hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops all the way also meant that the Taihang Mountain base area was temporarily restored to peace, Tang Qiuli gathered back the troops scattered in various places, reorganized his fist, and prepared for the next stage of the operation, during which he took the time to return to Huangya Cave.

Mei Ting's injuries recovered at an astonishing speed, and with the support of the nurse, she could walk a few steps carefully in the ward, and when she saw Tang Qiuli returning, she was as excited as a little girl, pestering him to ask this and that, and the lively and active Mei Ting was suffocated by this day of recuperation.

also has a deep attachment to Tang Qiuli, and often looks at her husband distractedly, after Tang Qiuli's injuries are healed, he left a long scar on his face, he is angry about this scar, and always laughs at himself and says, this time, if you don't take your documents, you can't enter and exit the passage of Huangya Cave, you look like a villain, a soldier of the guard, I have to arrest it?

Mei Ting didn't see it that way, the scars on her husband's face, not only did not damage his image, but increased the charm of his man, giving people a wild and rough feeling, all said that the scars are medals on a man's body, my husband hung the medal on his face, she snuggled in Tang Qiuli's arms, and gently stroked the scars on his face from time to time, making Tang Qiuli feel itchy in his heart, like countless small insects crawling on his face.

After Mei Ting said how she felt when she saw the scars on his face, Tang Qiuli couldn't cry or laugh, if she added an eye mask and didn't need makeup, the whole image of a Pirate of the Caribbean, but his wife admired it very much, the woman's mind was really incomprehensible, she only hated that there was no plastic surgery hospital in this era, otherwise, it must be completely repaired, how could it be so popular as the image of the previous Pian Pian Shijia Gongzi?

On the third day of the Wuxiang defensive battle, that is, on December 12, Tang Qiuli led Ma Chaoyang's brigade and Jiang Yanming's brigade to leave the Huangyadong base again, and from the southwest, inserted into the flank and rear of the Japanese army, with Yan Xishan's 140,000 troops on the front, he pulled the hind legs of the Japanese, and from time to time he came a few times, but he couldn't kill the mountain pass, and he was so angry that he jumped around.

He scattered Liu Chun's 1st Cavalry Brigade and Tong Batu's 2nd Cavalry Brigade out, with only one mission, specifically to attack the Japanese army's transport troops, from Shijiazhuang to the Wuxiang front, the Japanese army's transportation line of hundreds of kilometers, can be started anywhere, the captured materials, do not transport back to Huangya Cave, burn on the spot, not a bullet, a grain of grain, not let the mountain pass get, can bring them back to Shijiazhuang, is the best result.

Tang Qiuli is from this hand, the end is extremely insidious, the mountain pass on the front line of Wuxiang, hundreds of thousands of troops, the reserve of materials and ammunition, is getting less and less, and the rear can not be sent, the current mountain pass, can only organize a small-scale attack, without exception was repelled by the Jin army, which is also a great help to Yan Xishan from the side.

Tang Qiuli took two brigades of troops, quietly approached the rear of the Japanese army, and wiped out the two Japanese brigades at once, and burned down a supply base.

After Tang Qiu left the hand, he led the troops to move to the area of Guxian County, which is more than 80 kilometers away from Wuxiang, overnight, and waited in concealment, preparing to engage in the mountain pass again, which completely angered him, and it was best to divide the troops to chase after him, and also reduce the pressure on the frontal battlefield in Wuxiang, and also have the opportunity to find an opportunity to destroy the enemy.

During this time, Tang Qiuli's mood was very happy, since the war in North China started again, from the initial passive everywhere, three directions, were pressed and fought by the superior forces of the Japanese army, and more than 100,000 Japanese troops were also put into the Taihang Mountain base area, and the use of troops was to the limit, which can be described as overstretched and exhausted.

One of the most dangerous Dezhou directions, let him pinch a handful of sweat, fortunately Liu Tie Handong pointed to the troops, withstood the offensive of 300,000 Japanese troops, stabilized the position, with the arrival of reinforcements, gradually gained the upper hand, now, the Japanese army retreated to Cangzhou, oppressed by the troops, unable to move, Feng Jiwu of Niangzi Pass, also had a great harvest, not only guarded Niangzi Pass like an iron bucket, but also stuffy a lot of money, swallowed more than 60,000 people in Yan Xishan.

Datong and Wuxiang don't have to worry about it, Yan Xishan has to save his family even if he gives up his old life, the entire northern battlefield is developing in a direction that is beneficial to him, and the Songhu battlefield in the south, since the Japanese army's Hangzhou Bay landing plan was completely bankrupt, it has never organized a decent attack, and the old man's hundreds of thousands of troops are guarding there.

Also, his wife's injuries improved, so Tang Qiuli had a leisurely time, came back from a few hares, cooked in person, stewed a pot of fragrant hare meat, and several division chiefs of the division, plus Ma Chaoyang and Jiang Yanming, had a big meal, these people, when they were in Huangya Cave, had been impressed by the cooking skills of the division commander, and now, they finally got what they wanted, and they were all full of praise and feasting.

Tang Qiuli burped, got into the warm quilt, and fell asleep satisfied, in the dream, and his wife were endlessly sad, and a quick knock on the door woke him up from his dream, he instinctively felt that something big had happened, otherwise, the staff on duty at the division headquarters would not have bothered him so late.
