    Chapter 1,024 Breakthrough

    The King of Sichuan, Liu Xiang, agreed to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's request to send troops to take on all defenses in northwestern Guizhou and the north bank of the Chishui River. He had to agree. First, the situation was forced. The Japanese occupied Sichuan. He was also a bereaved dog and fled to a foreign country. Secondly, he  , under the general trend of the national war of resistance, the Sichuan Army could not stay alone and stay out of the matter, especially since the capital was in Chongqing. Chairman Chiang's dirty tricks were enough to give Liu Xiang a headache.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    A promise is a promise, but there is still a big giant who has no vent. The central government cannot just let the central government take over. The number two figure Tang Qiuli should also know that the main troops of the ** division are fighting in the south. Liu  Xiang stretched out his hand to support Tang Qiuli's military action. Moreover, Liu Xiang really didn't have much confidence in not listening to his opinions.

    After Tang Qiuli saw Liu Xiang's telegram, he guessed the thoughts of the long-sleeved "Babihu" who was good at dancing. Liu Xiang guarded northwest Guizhou, relieved Xue Yue's worries, blocked the Japanese army at the front line of Loushanguan, and from a certain  In this sense, Tang Qiusheng's regiment, which is stationed on the front lines of Xiangxi, Jishou, and Enshi in northern Hubei, and is ready to put out fires in Chongqing, can also be freed up to move south.

    Liu Xiang is still very knowledgeable. Tang Qiuli thought with a smile, "Chang Feng, call Liu Xiang back. Chairman Liu Xunjian, the caller is all connected. This is a public move that understands the righteousness. Bashu is the foundation of the general and the lifeblood of the country.  We share weal and woe and are one body. If we fall into the hands of the Japanese aggressors, we will all suffer losses. The Sichuan army will be out of northwest Guizhou, occupying the dangers of mountains and rivers, and taking advantage of the geographical convenience, so why should we be afraid?"

    "If the Japanese army invades the north and attacks Chongqing from northwest Guizhou, it is far away from the labor force and heavy weapons are extremely difficult to transport. The Sichuan army can rely on strong fortresses to hold on. The Japanese invaders will have nothing to do and attack them halfway across the river, which will have miraculous effects.  , the reputation of the Sichuan Army has only risen in the battle of northwest Guizhou. If the war becomes tense, I can send aircraft to assist in the battle. Whatever the general needs, I will do my best. "

    Tang Qiuli not only cheered up Liu Xiang, but also gave him a promise. For the cunning Liu Xiang, the righteousness on paper was not enough. There must be something that could make his heart beat. Chairman Chiang spent a lot of money to arm him.  Sichuan Army, just give him a real reassurance, and you will never let Sichuan Army suffer.

    Liu Xiang acted very quickly. Three days later, the Sichuan Army units of the three divisions, which had been redressed, headed for northwest Guizhou. Xue Yue, who was fighting with the Japanese army on the front line of Loushanguan, was greatly shocked after receiving the telegram from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.  It was determined that the weak link he was most worried about had been blocked, and he could regain his energy and deal with the Japanese army.

    Temple Shouichi was ruthless and a little crazy. Regardless of the casualties of the Japanese army, he would dispatch the troops organized by the division tomorrow to storm the Loushanguan defense line. Xue Yue was not to be outdone and would not give up an inch of ground.  The Japanese army fought tooth and nail, and he was confident.

    The entire government is surrounding the Loushanguan defense line to fight again. Whatever he needs, the rear will provide him. In addition to the more than 300,000 troops on the front line, Chairman Chiang has ordered that from the Central Army troops stationed in other areas,  Another 200,000 troops were mobilized and concentrated in Zuanjiang as Xue Yue's general reserve.

    The old man has spoken. I will mobilize as many troops as Xue Boling needs. The frontline troops will be replenished as they are attacked and always maintained at full strength. If any department or boss within the government wants to see Xue Yue make a fool of himself,  Secretly tampering and stumbling, once discovered, the teacher-student friendship, superior-subordinate relationship and friendship of more than ten years can no longer be taken into account. I want your head, Niang Xipi, I can't even tell the heat. I, Jiang, am someone  I don't care about idiots like you.

    Therefore, the more Xue Yue fought, the more confident he became. The two sides fought with blood flying everywhere and smoke filling the sky. Nearly ten thousand soldiers fell in front of Loushanguan every day. The battle continued until August 20, and the Japanese offensive continued unabated.  Terauchi Shouichi used a vicious trick. Taking advantage of the opportunity of thousands of Japanese soldiers to fight with the Central Army defenders, all the Japanese artillery suddenly opened fire.

    The roaring artillery shells covered the entire battlefield. Shrapnel flew across the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and rubble rolled around. The entangled Central Army soldiers and Japanese soldiers were bombarded by sudden and indiscriminate shelling, leaving flesh and blood flying everywhere, and blood raining all over the sky.  , Temple Shouichi took the opportunity to release the second echelon, and as evening approached, they finally occupied the 713 Highlands on the left flank of Loushanguan and gained the first foothold for the attack.

    The third echelon that followed the trend was pushed back by the counterattack organized by Xue Yue. Even so, at the cost of thousands of soldiers as bait, the Japanese army finally made a breakthrough. The Japanese army that occupied the 713 Highlands was three  There were about 7,000 people in the incomplete regiment. Both sides were exhausted. As night fell, the battlefield fell silent.

    Even Xue Yue did not expect this vicious move by Shouichi in the temple, which gave him a further understanding of the brutality of the Japanese army. The 713 Highlands became a nail wedged into the Loushanguan defense line. Xue Yue realized the situation  the dangerThe danger is that tomorrow, the Japanese army will follow this breakthrough and tear the Loushanguan left-wing position in half. Even if they use people to block it, the Central Army troops who have lost the convenient location will be unable to resist the red-eyed Japanese soldiers.

    And Juichi Terauchi, who was cruel and used the lives of his own soldiers as bait, was not very happy. After all, he had done something unethical and unethical. This battle would inevitably be criticized by the base camp and the local people, and the subsequent second and third echelons  , failed to follow up to the 713 Highlands and strengthen the assault force as he wished, which also made him feel uncomfortable.

    Temple Shouyi looked at the dark night in northern Guizhou, with strange looks around him. Looking at his senior officers, he was quite uninterested. He cursed in a low voice, "Damn China night," turned around and got into the tent, and ordered  Captain of the guard, no one will be seen tonight. Indeed, the darkness hinders his next move.

    If it hadn't been dark, he would have sent more troops to the 713 Highlands to defend and strengthen this hard-won breakthrough. But when it got dark, everything was forced to stop. "More than 7,000 troops, holding the  There should be no problem with a high ground. The dark night is an obstacle for both sides. The imperial army cannot fight, and the Chinese government troops cannot move. We will wait until tomorrow to break through the Loushanguan defense line in one fell swoop and point our troops directly at Chongqing."  All of Touchi's hopes were pinned on tomorrow's battle. He hugged the military blanket and fell asleep innocently.

    Tongzi, the Loushanguan Defense Line Headquarters of the Central Army, the atmosphere is dull and depressing. Dozens of generals with shining stars are gathered here. There is only one topic. Tonight, no matter what the price, we must recapture 713  On the high ground, pull out the nail that the Japanese army wedged into the Loushanguan defense line.

    There are still six hours before dawn, and there are only so many opportunities for Xue Yue. If he returns without success tonight, for the Loushanguan defense line, it will be a situation where the entire line collapses. There is no retreat, and there is no way behind Loushanguan.  In the dangerous Chongqing, Xue Yue looked at these senior officers with fierce eyes.

    "Everyone, the moment of life and death has arrived. I order the Fifth Army to dispatch two divisions and move secretly to the vicinity of the 713 Highlands. All artillery troops should not be afraid to expose their positions and cover them with the most intense artillery fire.  The four heavy artillery regiments transferred to us will also participate in tonight's battle. The entire 21st Army will be dispatched as the second attack echelon. If the troops in front are all exhausted, you come forward." Xue Yue gave the order directly without any nonsense.

    Xue Yue has already risked his life. The only four heavy artillery regiments are his last trump card. Retaking the 713 Highlands is worth it even if they all join in. The senior officers also noticed the strangeness of the commander-in-chief. At this time,  Xue Yue will not hesitate to kill the blind person if he says something discouraging, no matter how hard the roots are.

    At 1:30 in the morning, all artillery units of the Central Army launched a devastating bombardment on the 713 Highlands. Thousands of artillery shells screamed, trailed long tail flames, and landed on the highlands like meteors.  This was the Central Army's largest concentrated shelling since the start of the Loushanguan War, and it did not hesitate to expose its strength.

    In the temple, Shouyi was awakened from his dream by the violent explosion, and hurriedly ran out of the tent. In the direction of the July 13th Heights, the fire of the shell explosion reflected half of the sky red, like countless festival fireworks, blooming in the dark night.  One by one, they trembled, "No, the Chinese government forces want to retake the breach, how dare they fight at night?"

    The dignified Commander-in-Chief did not care about the appearance and majesty of the imperial army officers. He rushed into the command tent in disheveled clothes, grabbed a communications officer, and roared: "Baga, please inform all artillery units immediately.  "I have received the order to carry out a devastating attack on the Chinese government artillery positions, suppress the enemy's artillery fire, and immediately contact the commander of the 713 Highlands. I want to speak to him personally."

    Since the beginning of the Battle of Loushanguan, the biggest artillery battle between the Central Army artillery and the Japanese artillery began, and it was also at night. The artillery shells with tail flames pierced the sky, crisscrossed in the night sky, and killed one after another.  Fireworks were sent to the opponent's position. In terms of the number and caliber of artillery, the Central Army was inferior to the Japanese army.

    Xue Yue was like a clay wood sculpture, with his eyes slightly closed, sitting upright on a chair, listening to the solid sound of artillery. On the table, there was a loaded submachine gun, making a desperate move, success or failure depended on this, the phone number in the command headquarters  The bell rang in confusion. The chief of staff picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and his expression changed drastically.

    Turning back to Xue Yue, he said: "Commander-in-Chief, there is a call from the heavy artillery position. It was hit hard by Japanese artillery fire. The artillerymen suffered heavy casualties and many artillery pieces were destroyed. The commander of the third heavy artillery regiment has ordered to stop the artillery bombardment and move the position to preserve strength.  "Xue Yue's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light shot out, with murderous intent.

    He said in a cold tone: "Order the Military Justice Department to immediately arrest the commander of the artillery regiment and shoot him on the spot. The three heavy artillery regiments will be placed under the command of the first regiment. If he makes any false statements again and is in trouble, he will desert the battle."Those who rebel and attempt to preserve their strength will be killed without mercy and shot on the spot!  "
