Chapter 1035 Wave the army into Yunnan

General Terauchi Shouichi, commander of the Japanese dispatch army in southern China, commanded more than 200,000 main forces on the front line of Loushan Pass, turned around and headed south without warning, but the route he took was not designed for him by Tang Qiuli, and all kinds of arrangements for the Japanese army on the way back to Nanning were useless. *

Speaking of which, Terauchi Shouichi was also a helpless choice, and the long-awaited base camp order finally came not too late, "The Great Japanese Empire sent troops to the south of China, the international situation has undergone new changes, Germany has started a war against Poland, in order to deal with the new situation, the main task of your ministry is no longer to occupy the temporary capital of China, the strategic focus of the empire is transferred to Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, your ministry immediately went south, in the border areas of southern Guangxi, China, Vietnam, and Burma, establish a solid rear base, for the upcoming holy war in Southeast Asia, Be prepared. ”

Looking at this bullshit order, Terauchi Shouichi scolded the stupid and incompetent bureaucrats and stupid people in the base camp, and attacked Chongqing, the temporary capital of China, with an order, hundreds of thousands of troops, and turned south, thinking that it was as simple as marking a few arrows on the military map of the General Staff.

There is also the establishment of a rear base in southern Guinan, which is even more like a fart, around Nanning, there are hundreds of thousands of troops gathered by the devil Tang Qiuli, let me fight with more than 400,000 government troops on the front line of Loushanguan for more than 20 days, and go to the net? Nanning and the imperial troops in Nanning City will not be able to keep it anyway.

Terachi Shouichi scolded the heavens and the earth, and after scolding the base camp and the general staff, he made up his mind that he would never act according to the orders of those old men in the base camp, and if he did not lose all the troops dispatched, they would not wake up.

After considering various risks and insecurity factors, Terauchi Shouyi set his sights on the thought route from western Guizhou to northern Yunnan, taking Bijie to Liupanshui, and entering Yunnan, that is, the route taken by the previous four divisions, which was safe and reliable, and there were large and small strongholds of the imperial army along the way, which could also complete the mission of establishing a solid rear base in the border areas of China, Vietnam, and Burma.

This is tantamount to disobedience in disguise, ignoring Nanning, but Terauchi Shouyi can't take care of so much, as for the investigation of the base camp and the responsibility of abandoning Nanning and losing more than 100,000 imperial troops, after occupying Yunnan, make plans, it's a big deal to return to the homeland, and explain to His Majesty the Emperor in person.

First of all, on the Duyun West Front, the eight brigades of the directly subordinate corps that had been lurking for more than 20 days were considered to be in vain, even if they were immediately rushed over, they could only look at the footprints all over the ground, and secondly, they were unfolded on the front line of Nanning's Beima Mountain and Shanglin, just waiting for the Japanese army to appear, and the Tang Qiusheng Corps, which had bitten hard, was completely empty. *

Tang Qiuli launched three corps, hundreds of thousands of troops, began to lay out from the beginning of July, a big net was cast, only harvested more than 100,000 Japanese troops around Nanning, sharpened the knife quickly, did not kill the fat sheep, picked up some small fish and shrimp, in vain, and his expectations, far from his expectations, Tang Shao's depressed mood can be imagined.

The battle of the general attack on Nanning started on time, and the Japanese army, which had been surrounded for many days, was called every day and did not ask for reinforcements, and His Excellency Terauchi Shouichi, the commander-in-chief, was a cold order, "Defend Nanning, even if it is all jade shattered!" "The Japanese officers and soldiers understood in despair.

The Japanese Empire abandoned them, His Majesty the Emperor and Amaterasu also abandoned them, and the damned commander-in-chief completely abandoned them, and in the face of countless cannons outside the city, even if they could not use the city's residents as hostages, Nanning had long become an empty city.

The overwhelming artillery fire drowned the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, drowning the people of His Majesty the Emperor, without the scruples of the residents of the city, Ma Chaoyang gave full play to the advantage of firepower, and the shells covered every area of Nanning City, and when the thunder rocket artillery let out a terrifying scream, the end of the Japanese army in the city really came.

The troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps rushed into the city, and after sporadic street fighting, Nanning returned to the hands of the Chinese, and it took only more than eight hours, more than 100,000 Japanese troops, the entire army was annihilated, not even a single prisoner, and the city was full of broken corpses of Japanese soldiers.

Ma Chaoyang rushed to Tang Qiuli's headquarters in a hurry, and shouted in a loud voice when he entered the door: "Report to the division commander, after eight hours of fighting, Nanning Shun conquered, annihilated more than 100,000 Japanese troops, and our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties," Tang Qiuli did not have the joy he expected, but replied lightly, "I know." ”

Ma Chaoyang withdrew depressedly and won a big victory, the division commander looked so unhappy, and said that a battle, annihilating more than 100,000 Japanese troops, recovering the lost areas of Liangguang, where to change, it was a shocking victory, but what happened to the division commander?

He didn't know that Tang Qiu was absolutely dissatisfied with the harvest of this battle, this was not his ideal result, Terauchi Shouichi ran away and ran to Yunnan, and the troops of the independent division were waiting for him, even if they got in a car, they couldn't even catch up with the shadow of the Japanese army.

What made him even more depressed was that Xue Yue was also a generation of famous generals, with more than 400,000 troops in his hands, so he let the Japanese army calmly get out of the Loushanguan battlefield, and he didn't even follow the pursuit, was he scared or stupid? As long as Xue Yue's central army entangled Terauchi Shou for a day or three, even if he would eventually turn to Yunnan, without leaving more than half of the soldiers' lives, don't think about getting out.

All possibilities are a hypothesis, Tang Qiuli also moved the telegram to ask Xue Yue's thoughts, but in an instant, he dispelled it again, the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is useless to say more, besides, Chairman Jiang is very strict with himself, for fear of reaching out to his descendants, this telegram has to be transferred to Xue Yue through the military committee, don't cause trouble for others.

On 8 September, Tang Qiuli made a strategic adjustment to the entire southern war situation, and the troops directly under the corps concealed on the western front of Duyun immediately marched westward to seize Guiyang, and then, through Anshun, Zhenning, Panxian, and Qujing, attacked the Japanese troops attacking Kunming, and the tank and artillery units subordinate to the corps were immediately rebuilt.

The Tang Qiusheng Division of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, which was on the front line of Mashan and Shanglin in southern Guangxi, marched into Kunming through Dahua in southern Guizhou and Baise in western Guangxi, and marched into Kunming in the southeast of Ma Chaoyang and west into southern Yunnan, responsible for annihilating the two divisions and regiments of Japanese troops on the border of China, Vietnam, and Burma, and blocking the route of the Japanese troops sent from southern Japan to flee abroad.

Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division, served as the commander of the garrison in the southern region of Liangguang, and the unit was responsible for all garrison tasks in the Beibu Gulf, the Leizhou Peninsula, and the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian.

On the same day, the Yunnan Campaign Headquarters of the Independent Division was established in Wuming, southern Guizhou, with division commander Tang Qiuli as the commander-in-chief, and the four main corps of the Independent Division, with hundreds of thousands of troops, immediately marched toward the set goal after receiving the order.

In order to ensure that the troops entered Yunnan and would not be disturbed by the Japanese army aviation, the Southern Flight Group of the independent division aviation unit dispatched all the fighters to assume air cover, the fighters in the sky roared, and the traffic and people on the ground rolled westward, like a gust of wind, pressed towards the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli was ruthless, and wanted to end the lives of Terauchi Shouichi and the Japanese army sent to the south of China in Yunnan.

With the exception of Jiang Yanming's Songhu garrison corps, which was tasked with garrisoning the coastal areas of Songhu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and Feng Jiwu's corps, which was tasked with garrisoning the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangzhou, all the troops that could be mobilized in the south of the independent division were gathered in Yunnan, and this would be the last battle between the independent division and the Japanese army in southern China.

Chang Feng, chief of staff of the independent division, led the various organs of the division headquarters to leave Yunnan in advance, and Tang Qiuli was going to leave Wuming tomorrow to march westward.

In particular, when the eight brigades of the direct corps of Guiyang were attacked in the west, they did not even see the shadow of a Japanese soldier.

These puppet army troops, not knowing the height of the sky, opened a posture on the outskirts of Guiyang, resisted the independent division troops to recover Guiyang by force, and in Outer Mongolia and North China, beat the Soviets and the Japanese to the point of losing their armor and directly under the corps troops, that will eat him, especially for the traitor troops, even more hateful to the root of their teeth, although the tank and artillery units are not in place, but nearly a thousand mortars, enough for these traitors who have forgotten their ancestors, drink a pot.

In more than an hour, more than 10,000 puppet army troops were beaten to pieces and collapsed, killing five or six thousand people at that time.

But there is a traitor smell on the body, it is so easy to shake it off, the Japanese army occupied Guiyang for not too long, but these guys have done more bad things than the Japanese, after the direct corps entered the city, a brigade of troops was left behind, and the whole city was searched and arrested, and in less than two days, these puppet soldiers were arrested.

If the division commander had not given an order, if they were not prisoners or Japanese, they could not be killed, otherwise, with the bad things that many of them did to the residents in Guiyang, they would have eaten guns a long time ago, and after recovering Guiyang, the troops reported the matter to the division commander Tang Qiu.

Tang Qiuli's reply was very simple, "Those who commit the most heinous crimes will be shot on the spot, and they would rather be killed by mistake than let go," With the speed of the march of the independent division's corps, the Yunnan campaign also began to enter the implementation stage, and Tang Qiuli was about to rush to Yunnan.
