    Chapter 998: The End of Yamashita Fengwen (Part 1)

    In order to rescue Yamashita Fengwen's 15th Army, which was surrounded by Tang Qiuli at the foot of Duyun City, General Touichi Terauchi, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southern Expeditionary Army, did not hesitate to mobilize all the main forces of the Japanese army attacking Guiyang and take a shortcut to Duyun to rescue them.  This guy gave him both a nuisance and a headache.  {}

    Several groups of Japanese troops evacuated the Guiyang battlefield overnight and turned around to head east. The troops set off. Shouyi suddenly felt a sense of emptiness and uneasiness in the temple. More than 300,000 imperial troops were thrown into the mountains of southern China and Guizhou.  Whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was still unclear. He was in a daze for a while, and had to cheer up. He sent a telegram to Yamashita Fengfumi to cheer up this arrogant guy.  The troops are so proud!

    "The commander of the 15th Army, Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, has dispatched more than 300,000 troops with the main force. They have set off from Guiyang and rushed to Duyun by taking the shortest route. Your main task now is to hold on where you are and wait for reinforcements to arrive.  , During this period, no active offensive actions can be taken. Remember, the Commander-in-Chief, General Hisaichi Terauchi, personally wrote, "This is the content of the telegram to Yamashita Fengwen."

    After reading the telegram, Yamashita Fengfumi, who had become a trapped beast, was not filled with gratitude in his heart, but felt a great shame. When had the 15th Army ever needed other troops to come to the rescue? Even if it could successfully break through, there would still be  How can I face my former colleagues? This is an unreasonable paranoia after a long period of arrogance and arrogance, and a sudden blow.

    Shouyi in the temple thought that he had chosen an unexpected route. Unfortunately, there were only four routes from Guiyang to Duyun. Tang Qiuli had already deployed four brigades of troops, firmly blocking the route to Duyun.  Even, those rugged mountain roads that can barely be called passages,

    More than 300,000 troops were dispatched, but Shouichi Terauchi still felt uneasy. He sent troops to the 21st Division, the 28th Division, the Chongteng Detachment, the Haga Detachment, and the 20th Division stationed in Hainan Island.  The 16th Division and the 20th Division issued emergency orders to immediately land in the Beibu Gulf, march north along the Dushan direction via Nanning, and with the main force of the dispatched army heading east from Guiyang, encircle Tang Qiuli's troops and Duyun City in southern Guizhou  , Shouyi in the temple has a big appetite and wants to fight Tang Qiuli in a battle of annihilation.

    However, Tang Qiuli was not yet aware of Temple Shouyi's move to withdraw most of his troops from the Guiyang front line. The first to notice was the Central Army troops defending Guiyang. Gu Zhutong, Commander-in-Chief of Guiyang City Defense, came early in the morning  When he woke up, he felt depressed. He didn't sleep well that night. He had constant nightmares. No one could sleep peacefully under the watchful eyes of more than 400,000 Japanese troops, unless he was a fool.

    Gu Zhutong was not optimistic about the Battle of Guiyang, which was presided over by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself. Two armies of hundreds of thousands retreated from Xingyi and Luodian in southern Guizhou to Guiyang. Even the favorable terrain conditions could not stop them.  What can they do in Guiyang, which is almost undefendable now that they are at the foot of the Japanese offensive?

    Along the way, Gu Zhutong fought unconvinced and angry. If the tactical command was used properly, the soldiers could risk their lives and resist desperately, but why couldn't they stop the Japanese army's rapid attack?  This was a question he had asked himself countless times in his mind. Gu Zhutong was not very satisfied with Chairman Chiang's appointment of him as the Commander-in-Chief of Guiyang City Defense.

    As the commander-in-chief of the same direction, why can Chen Cheng put down this heavy burden and return to Chongqing, only leaving himself in Guiyang? In the fierce battle yesterday, almost all the outer positions of Guiyang were lost, and Xiaohe and Huaxi fell into  At the hands of the Japanese army, Guiyang had lost its barrier.

    Opening his eyes and looking at the dawn outside the window, Gu Zhutong's mood became heavier and heavier. He didn't know how he would get through today. The overwhelming Japanese artillery fire was still fresh in his memory. At this time, Gu Zhutong's mood was a bit  The feeling of being trapped in a lonely city.

    I pushed open the door, but I didn't hear the heartbreaking sound of artillery. At this time yesterday, the Japanese were fighting fiercely. Why were they so quiet today? "Come here, call us and ask about the forward position. What's going on?"  Gu Zhutong shouted loudly. He didn't hear the sound of gunfire, and he felt a little unsure.

    Before the guards could go out, the chief of staff ran in excitedly and shouted loudly from afar: "Commander-in-Chief, good news. According to the report from the forward troops, the Japanese troops opposite them suddenly withdrew last night, leaving only  The trenches and fortifications were empty, except in the west of Guiyang City, where a small number of Japanese troops were entrenched, but no action was taken. "

    Gu Zhutong was shocked by the sudden news and asked in disbelief: "What? Most of the Japanese troops suddenly withdrew. Is this true?" The chief of staff replied: "Commander-in-Chief, the news is true. I  I have verified it with the frontline troops one by one," Gu Zhutong's head was a little confused.

    Seeing that Gu Zhutong had no countermeasures at the moment, the chief of staff suggested: "Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese army is stillThe number of troops staying in the west of Guiyang City is definitely not large. Should we take this opportunity to take the initiative to attack and annihilate or defeat this Japanese army?  "

    Gu Zhutong shook his head and said: "No, beware of the Japanese army's tricks, convey my order, troops in Guiyang direction, strictly guard the existing defense area, transfer the 10th Army to the west of Guiyang, strengthen the defense line there, and report the situation to Chiang Kai-shek truthfully  Chairman, "With the Guiyang Central Army's garrison strength of more than 400,000, and Temple Shouchi's more than 170,000 troops, as long as Gu Zhutong takes the initiative to attack, even with a crowd, he can kill the Japanese troops in Temple Shoichi's hands."

    It is a pity that Gu Zhutong did not dare to make such a decision. He was frightened by the fierce Japanese offensive in the previous period and missed a great opportunity. Gu Zhutong's military ability was relatively average, but because of his opposition to Chiang Kai-shek  The chairman's absolute loyalty allowed him to be reused, and his mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults was at play. If it had been Chen Cheng, or any senior general of the Central Army except Liu Zhi, I am afraid that Juichi Terauchi's life would have been absolutely miserable.  Not having a good time.

    In the early morning, the fog in the mountains of southern Guizhou had not yet dissipated. Tang Qiuli stretched out comfortably, got out of the tent to move his hands and feet a few times, and took a deep breath of the cool air. The fragrance of the vegetation and the elegant fragrance of wild flowers filled his heart.  Wash your face by the clear stream and feel refreshed immediately.

    Suddenly, several low shouts were heard from the bamboo forest on the other side of the stream. Then, the bamboos were shaken, mixed with the sounds of rolling objects and fighting. A dozen special guards appeared beside Tang Qiuli like lightning.  , tightly protecting him in the middle, and the Somi submachine gun was ready to fire.

    Tang Qiuli was not too worried. Shanxia Fengwen was too preoccupied with himself to take care of himself and had no intention of reaching out here. He looked at the other side of the stream with great interest. After a while, thirty or forty people waded through the stream that was just below their knees. They arrived in front of them.  Tang Qiuli was amused when he saw it.

    The hidden sentry posted by Shan Hu on the other side of the stream started fighting with the 11th detachment of the Chutian Special Warfare Detachment. There was heavy fog in the mountains in the morning, and the terrain chosen by the hidden sentry was very secluded. This area was close to the Japanese army, so the special warfare  When the soldiers of the detachment approached, they were regarded as a small group of Japanese troops by the soldiers of the guard brigade.

    So why are you hesitating? They took action immediately. The soldiers of the special operations unit who were suddenly attacked were also unambiguous and responded extremely quickly. After the two sides fought for several rounds, they recognized each other and shouted bad luck. The two leaders  The captain of the team had a bruised nose and swollen face, and a dozen soldiers also had dark circles under their eyes and walked with a limp.

    When Tang Qiuli saw the two squad leaders, he was still trying to fight cocks. He was unconvinced and said with a smile: "Okay, let's just treat it as two troops competing with each other."  More than a hundred people appeared here, and they were very surprised.

    He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "Sir, why are you in such a dangerous place?" Tang Qiuli smiled and asked, "Is it dangerous? What other tricks can Yamashita Fengwen come up with?" The captain of the special warfare unit suddenly thought of something.  He dragged a person from behind and said, "Battle Commander Shi, this is our division commander. Didn't you keep muttering along the way? Now I see you."

    Shi Jinsheng, commander of the Special Agent Battalion of the 19th Army of the Central Army, looked at Tang Qiuli in stunned silence. He didn't realize it for a moment. Oh my god, this is Vice Chairman Tang who is as famous as Chairman Chiang. He is so young, less than three years old.  Ten years old?  With more than a hundred people, he dares to wander around here. Is this bold enough to make his subordinates feel at ease?

    Tang Qiuli asked Shi Jinsheng very gently about the situation of Duyun and the 19th Army. Shi Jinsheng's eyes were full of stars. He was a major battalion commander, and he could have a long conversation with a second-level general, and he was also a good person.  A legendary figure with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. This is a blessing acquired in a lifetime.

    At this time, Communications Director Chen Feng came over in a hurry, "Division Commander, we received reports from our troops in Baishu, Kaimen, Jiangzhou, and Pinglang in the west of Duyun. Japanese troops were found everywhere. Judging from their marching direction, they came from Guiyang.  "The main force of the Japanese army." Tang Qiuli was startled, the temple's Shoichi arrived so quickly, and the number of troops was not small.

    In one night, he appeared in the above direction. He arranged it in advance and used it. Touichi Terauchi made a dangerous move and said, "Order that the four brigades on the left wing must guard their respective mountain passes to block the Japanese army's eastward advance. At the same time, prevent the Japanese from  The 15th Army breaks out from this direction."

    "Order the artillery and rocket artillery units to immediately prepare to bombard the Japanese army, and order Le Yiqin's aviation unit to immediately bomb the Japanese army positions." Tang Qiuli issued two orders in a row, which made Shi Jinsheng dazzled and his heart beat fast.  , people have military divisions fighting, and there are airplanes.

    Yamashita Fengwen woke up early in the morning and received good news. The rescue team had arrived in the west of Duyun and was advancing rapidly. His anxious mood for many days suddenly became lighter. It seemed that the old guy Shouichi in the temple  , dare not not rescue themselves, the 15th Army was destroyedEven if there is a disaster, he cannot escape the involvement.

    I was preparing to let the service soldiers take sake and eat a good breakfast, but when I heard the sky above the sky, the roar of the motor came from the motor?  Is it an Imperial Army plane?  Yamashita Fengwen looked up at the sky.
