    Chapter 984: The bloody battle in Duyun City (Part 2)

    Chutian's ambush at the Longtoujiang Bridge completely disrupted Yamashita Fengwen's overall plan. The huge baggage convoy and artillery unit were in chaos for most of the night. At dawn, with the help of the morning light, the chaos was stopped, and then  When we came down, we were counting the losses and casualties. We were so busy that we didn't even bother to repair the Longtoujiang Bridge that was blown up.  {}

    The more than 90,000 Japanese troops gathered under the Xiyun Peak in Duyun, ready to go and put into attack posture. Today's breakfast was just dry rice balls that they carried with them. There was not even any food to go with the meal. The logistics convoy was blocked at the front.  On the south bank of the Yangtze River, fortunately, there was no shortage of small rivers and streams in the southern Guizhou area. Otherwise, the more than 90,000 imperial troops would have had to endure the scorching sun.

    At 11 o'clock at noon, the commander of the 15th Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Tomofumi, did not wait for the artillery, but instead waited for a telegram that made him feel the urge to kill. "According to statistics, after we were attacked by unknown armed forces last night,  The losses of the troops were as follows: about one-half of the supplies, about one-quarter of the ammunition, the artillery force lost 478 artillery pieces of various calibers, and more than 1,380 casualties. The Longtou River continued to flood.  Without falling, it will be very difficult for the engineering regiment to build the bridge. It is expected that the artillery unit will not be able to reach the Xiyunfeng front line within seven days."

    Yamashita Tombumi tore the telegram into pieces and hit the staff officer who sent the telegram in the face, "Ordering the captain of the 73rd Regiment, which was guarding the logistics and artillery units, to commit suicide immediately by caesarean section to apologize. The deputy captain took over his duties, and the Engineer Regiment  The commander of the regiment was dismissed from his post and replaced by the chief of staff of the regiment. He was told that the artillery troops must be allowed to cross the Longtou River before this evening," Yamashita issued a vicious order.

    The staff officer, who was stunned and stunned, replied tremblingly: "Your Excellency, Commander, the captain of the 73rd Regiment was broken into pieces for His Majesty the Emperor in the battle last night, and the captain of the Engineer Regiment had committed suicide by caesarean section before to apologize."  Yamashita Fengwen felt dizzy before he could take a breath.

    These two bastards understood the current situation and found their own way out without being punished by the commander. They lost so much baggage and artillery, which affected the overall combat plan. They couldn't even find anyone to directly punish them. This made me very angry.  Unable to vent in his heart, Yamashita Fengwen took a big knife and couldn't find a head to chop off. He was so angry that he went crazy. When he turned around, the staff officer who just sent the telegram was still standing there stupidly.

    The guy with no eyes has not reported any good news since this morning. Yamashita Fengwen was so angry that he pulled out the golden-handled command sword given by the Emperor and ran towards the unlucky staff officer with murderous intent. As soon as he raised the command sword,  The communications staff officer suddenly realized that he was going to be the target of the Commander's anger. He wanted to run, but his legs felt like they were growing on the ground. He was so worried that his legs wouldn't move. When he got anxious, his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.  , scared to death.

    Yamashita Fengwen was also stunned. Everyone fell to the ground. If you don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, you can¡¯t be cutting with a knife, right?  It was funny and annoying. With a wave of his hand, two guards came over and dragged away the unlucky guy who had fainted from fright. Yamashita Fengwen also calmed down. Even if he beheaded the entire engineer regiment, it would not help.  Wait, wait for the artillery to come up before attacking.

    In the city of Duyun, Lieutenant General Guo Huawen, the commander of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army who was paying close attention to the movements of the Japanese army, could not figure out what was going on. He sent the spy battalion that blew up the Longtou River Bridge and has not returned yet. If  The mission has been completed. It is impossible for so many Japanese troops to reach the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain. It will take at least three or four days. If the mission has not been completed, the Japanese troops have already pressed into the border. After a whole morning, why are they still not attacking?

    Things are a little strange. The Japanese are coming in a big way. They can¡¯t come here to enjoy the mountain scenery, right?  Not only Guo Huawen, but all officers at all levels of the 19th Group Army were speculating on the Japanese army's intentions. At noon, Chi Zifeng, the commander of the *** Brigade guarding Xiyun Peak, called to ask for instructions, "Commander, what are you doing?  ? We have been maintaining a posture at the foot of the mountain all morning without firing a single shot. Isn¡¯t this so disgusting? Commander, I request you to take a battalion of troops and kill him. Let¡¯s see what tricks the little devil is playing?¡±

    Guo Huawen was startled and said hurriedly: "Chi Zifeng, let me tell you, just stay on the mountain. You will fight the battle. If a battalion comes down from the mountain, it will not be enough for the Japanese to fill their teeth. Remember, there is no order from me.  "No one is allowed to move. It is a violation of military law." Chi Zifeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander, that's what I said, don't you see how uncomfortable the brothers are?"

    Putting down the phone, Guo Huawen looked at the map in confusion, trying to figure out the Japanese army's intentions, but he didn't understand. The Japanese were obviously ready, so why didn't they attack?  It is impossible to siege without attacking. If Duyun is not occupied and the passage to the north cannot be opened, it will be impossible to attack Guiyang. It is even more impossible to siege the city. The connection between Duyun and Majiang has not been cut off, and the Japanese cannot  He would do such a stupid thing. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he had to go with full of doubts.??, pacing back and forth in the yard.

    The chief of staff of the group army came in excitedly. When he saw Guo Huawen, he shouted loudly: "Commander, Shi Jinsheng and the others are back." Guo Huawen was shocked. Only Shi Jinsheng could solve the mystery. "Quick, quick, let him come to the headquarters immediately.  "Commander, Shi Jinsheng is waiting for your summons outside the door," the chief of staff said.

    As soon as Shi Jinsheng came in, he immediately stood at attention and reported: "Commander Guo and Commander Shi Jinsheng of the Group Army's Special Agent Battalion have completed the task of blowing up the Longtou River Bridge and returned to the team. Please ask the commander for instructions." Guo Huawen did not pay much attention to Shi Jinsheng's report. A man wearing the same uniform as the Central Army  The young colonel's obviously different style attracted his attention.

    Seeing a lieutenant general, Chu Tian turned his probing eyes towards him. He knew that this was the highest military commander defending Duyun City, General Guo Huawen, commander of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army. He stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, and said: "  Reporting to Commander Guo, the commander of the North China ** Division, General Tang Qiuli, is directly affiliated with the troops. The leader of the special operations detachment, Chu Tian, ??is reporting to you. Please give Commander Guo instructions. "The tone is calm, the attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, the behavior is dignified and generous, coupled with the young and handsome face  , almost instantly, he won Guo Huawen's favor.

    The most important thing is Chutian's identity, the troops directly under Tang Qiuli, that is, his confidant. A small colonel may not be in Guo Huawen's eyes, but the behemoth behind him, Vice Chairman Tang,  , who can afford to offend him, "It's Captain Chu. Welcome Vice Chairman Tang's troops to our 19th Group Army. Chief of Staff, Captain Chu has worked hard all the way. Please take your brothers down and have a good rest."  ," Guo Huawen said very politely.

    It was no small matter that Tang Qiuli's team arrived at his place. Although Guo Huawen disdained and was not keen on participating in partisan disputes, and did not agree with the Chongqing government's practices of eradicating dissidents and eradicating dissidents, he was after all a senior commander of the Central Army.  , I still know a little bit about some of the inside stories, but Chairman Chiang is very wary and worried about Vice Chairman Tang.

    The two men were at odds with each other and were now openly fighting each other. General Zhang Zhizhong, the former education director of the Central Military Academy and commander of the Songhu Theater, was suspended from his post by Chairman Chiang because he was too close to Tang Qiuli and violated taboos.  His confidant has come down to him, what is his intention?

    This Shi Jinsheng is really annoying. He went out to perform a mission and brought back such a big trouble. He offended Liu Zhi to the end. If he knew that he was connected with Tang Qiuli, and he was behind it, the consequences would be disastrous.  , thinking of this, the joy brought by Shi Jinsheng's completion of the task was diluted a lot. Furthermore, Guo Huawen still had many questions that he had to answer from Shi Jinsheng. With Chu Tian here, there were many things that were difficult to say and difficult to ask.

    After listening to Shi Jinsheng narrate the whole process, Guo Huawen was not as surprised as Shi Jinsheng was at first. It turned out that there were so many twists and turns in it. The doubts lingering in his mind were all solved. It was not that the Japanese did not fight Duyun.  , it was their artillery and baggage troops that were ambushed by the special operations detachment and suffered heavy losses. In addition, the Longtou River Bridge was blown up and could not be reached within a short time. Without artillery, the Japanese attacked Xiyun Peak.  Seeking death yourself.

    However, he also vaguely judged that this Chu Tian did not have an accidental encounter with Shi Jinsheng. He seemed to have come specifically to find him. What was his purpose?  Ignoring him for now, Guo Huawen immediately ordered: "Convey my order to Chi Zifeng stationed at Xiyun Peak, and use the time when the Japanese army cannot launch an attack to strengthen and improve the defense system. Also, the various troops in Duyun City will also  "We need to improve the fortifications." If we don't make use of these rare days, it would be too low-level.

    This Chu Tian still wanted to meet. After meeting again, Chu Tian did not hide anything, "Commander Guo, our division commander's intention is very simple. I will stay in Duyun as a liaison officer and report the war situation at any time. I hope Commander Guo will provide convenience.  "This request is not too much and cannot be refused. After all, Tang Qiuli still serves as the director of the former enemy headquarters of the Military Commission. In theory, all the armies in the country are under his command.

    Under Yamashita Fengwen's strict order, after forcing to death the two succeeding engineer captains, the Longtoujiang Bridge was finally repaired by Japanese engineers on the afternoon of the sixth day. The Japanese artillery unit, jumping in panic, was the first to rush across the Longtoujiang Bridge.  , in the evening, arrived at the Japanese military station at the foot of Xiyunfeng Mountain.

    Yamashita Fengfumi was absolutely furious and ordered the artillery troops to build positions overnight. Contrary to the Japanese tradition of never conducting night operations, he set the time to attack Xiyun Peak as the time when the artillery could carry out shelling. In other words, what?  At that time, the artillery started shelling, which was the time to launch the attack. As for whether it was at night, the commander no longer cared so much.

    At the foot of Duyun City, too much time was wasted, and he could not afford to waste any more time. To Yamashita Fengwen's regret, the artillery firepower still did not reach his ideal density.
