    Chapter 1049: Forced to leave Savage Mountain

    Because Li Honggang's 29th Corps inflicted heavy losses on Temple Shoichi in the Battle of Songshaoguan, the battlefield situation changed, and it also provided an opportunity for Tang Qiuli to seek greater campaign effects.

    The original purpose of the Kunming Battle was to firstly annihilate the Japanese troops attacking Kunming and contact the Kunming threat, and secondly, to seek opportunities to attack the main force of the Japanese Southern China Expeditionary Force. Therefore, Tang Qiuli used two main force groups to attack the seventh Japanese army.  Military Iijima Kenji Division.

    This is what Tang Qiuli has always advocated, the tactic of concentrating superior troops and firepower to annihilate an enemy force. Before the battle of Songshaoguan started, no main force of the Japanese Army in Yunnan could be encircled and annihilated by itself. The Japanese army  The main battle mission of the Southern Expedition Army.

    Therefore, Tang Qiuli's initial battle plan was to quickly annihilate the Japanese Seventh Army with the strength of two main corps, and then free up his hands to move the entire army north to Songshaoguan to join Li Honggang's 29th Corps and use three  The strength of a corps faced the main force of the Southern Expeditionary Forces of Juichi Terauchi.

    Regardless of whether they were repelled or defeated, they were looking for opportunities in the future to leave more than 200,000 Japanese troops, together with the head of Juichi Temple, on the land of South China. Unexpectedly, Tang Qiuli's last Songshaoguan blocked the battlefield, and Li Honggang  The achievement of killing more than 40,000 Japanese troops in one night was a great gift to him.

    Li Honggang blocked and severely damaged more than 200,000 Japanese troops with more than 70,000 troops. The temple was so frightened that Shouichi retreated 20 kilometers in panic. The threat from northeastern Yunnan was basically eliminated. The battle situation presented an extremely favorable opportunity. Of course Tang Qiuli would not  Let it go.

    The Japanese Seventh Army, surrounded by groups in Chengjiang, has become a turtle in the urn. With the strength and firepower of the directly affiliated corps, it can shoulder the task of annihilating the Japanese army on its own. There is always someone who can make the icing on the cake. Just now, Long Yun led the four armies.  More than 80,000 Yunnan troops rushed to the Chengjiang battlefield.

    Long Yun's attitude was very resolute. He had to let the Yunnan Army participate in the Japanese attack in Chengjiang no matter what. The reason was also very good. These Japanese soldiers committed heinous crimes in Kunming. As Yunnan soldiers, they could not take revenge with their own hands, nor could the Yunnan elders.  Long Yun himself would not forgive himself, so how could he stand in Yunnan Province.

    He spoke impassionedly and sincerely, and the morale of the Yunnan army was also strong, and they could definitely fight. However, no matter how you looked at it, they were suspected of picking up bargains and beating up drowned dogs. Tang Qiuli knew that Long Yun's Xiao Jiujiu was responsible for killing tens of thousands of Japanese troops.  That's a lot of fat. Long Yun might have known about his deal with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi.  &*"Net" fastest update**

    Since it is following the example of Guangxi, this matter cannot go wrong. This is the real reason why Long Yun rushed here in such a hurry. Regarding Long Yun's icing on the cake, Tang Qiuli is not prepared to tell the truth and understands Long Yun's difficulties. Look at Yunnan.  Weapons and equipment of the army, many soldiers still carry old sleeves with almost worn rifling.

    The Directly Affiliated Corps plus the four armies of the Yunnan Army have more than 200,000 troops. It is more certain to annihilate the surrounded Japanese Seventh Army. If it were not for the poor equipment of the Yunnan Army, Tang Qiuli even wanted to eliminate Ken Iijima.  The tasks of the Second Division were handed over to Long Yun alone. In this way, the two main corps were outflanking him from both sides, and Shouichi Terauchi had no way to escape even if he wanted to.

    Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in his mind. The direct-affiliated corps went north, leaving the Yunnan Army to fight against the Japanese Seventh Army. Not to mention whether it could complete the campaign mission, I am afraid that the Yunnan Army would be exhausted. Kenji Iijima  He also ran away. The current Yunnan Army is not at all a heavyweight with the Japanese Army.

    Tang Qiuli solemnly said to Long Yun: "Chairman Long, Tang understands the Yunnan Army's idea of ??revenge, and also admires the Yunnan Army's spirit of daring to face the enemy. In this way, the Chengjiang battle deployment will be adjusted as follows, and the corps directly under the ** Division will complete the battle.  After the mission, we will immediately go north to eliminate the remaining Japanese troops and leave it to Chairman Long¡¯s troops. What does Chairman Long think?¡±

    Long Yun's face almost burst into joy. It was a great thing that fell from the sky. The equipment directly under the corps was something Long Yun could not even imagine. It was so easy to smash Kenji Iijima's turtle shell in Chengjiang with a thunderous strike.  After that, there were still a few Japanese soldiers left, and all the Japanese equipment left on the battlefield belonged to the Yunnan Army!  Oh my God, gold ingots fell from the sky!

    Long Yun nodded like a fool, fearing that the wealthy vice-chairman in front of him would regret it. The dozen or so senior generals of the Yunnan Army following him also had their eyes shining brightly, gearing up, looking like they were about to make a fortune. Tang Qiuli  Smiling secretly, he continued: "However, there is one request. In order to facilitate coordinated command and reduce troop losses, all troops participating in the Chengjiang Battle should be unified under the command of my chief of staff, Major General Chang Feng."

    This is the meaning of the question. Originally, the Yunnan Army came here to pick up bargains and hitchhikes. It doesn't make sense if they don't obey orders. Long Yun was not afraid that Tang Qiuli would use the Yunnan Army as cannon fodder, leaving so much equipment unused.  , what is Tang Qiuli planning?  Judging from this posture, he has other plans, and he is afraid that he is targeting the Song Dynasty.I don't want to spend too much time in Chengjiang, so I feel more at ease.

    On September 15, Tang Qiuli issued an order to the Sulu Mobile Corps to conduct the Battle of Songshaoguan. Under the cover of night, nearly 200,000 troops quietly evacuated the Chengjiang battlefield, passing through Biji and Song on the left.  From Yang and Xundian, proceed towards the left wing of Songshaoguan Pass in a concealed manner.

    The right road passed through Luoping, Shizong, and Panjiang, and moved covertly on the right wing of Songshaoguan. Shortly after the Sulu Mobile Regiment took action, the Yunnan Army took over the defense and entered the position. Kenji Iijima, who was in the Chengjiang encirclement, faced the huge enemy under the night.  He was not aware of the changes at all, and was still eagerly waiting for his commander-in-chief to command the imperial army to go south to Kunming to save himself from danger.

    Not long after Tang Qiusheng's regiment set out, Tang Qiuli sent a telegram to Li Honggang, "Commander Li Honggang of the 29th Corps, in the battle of Songshaoguan, the main force of the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and the battle situation turned out to be extremely favorable. Your unit's current main task is  , with the sole purpose of blocking and delaying the Japanese army, you can show weakness appropriately so that Touichi Templeuchi will not give up and eliminate it. The Sulu Mobile Corps has concealed the Japanese army's two wings and detoured. Your unit's actions are related to the overall situation of the Songshaoguan battle. Please handle it carefully.  "

    After Li Honggang received the telegram, he excitedly clapped the ammunition box that served as a table, "Okay, the division commander has made a new battle plan. It turns out that our corps is a supporting role. After the smooth progress of the Kunming battle, now it has become the protagonist. It is rare.  Good opportunity, Bingde, take a look at this telegram and make sense of it?"

    Wang Bingde, chief of staff of the corps, received the telegram, read it carefully, and said: "Commander, the division commander is going to take all the Japanese troops on the opposite side in one pot. The Sulu Mobile Corps is coming over, I'm afraid they want to make dumplings made by Shouichi in the temple. Such a situation  Come on, we can¡¯t beat the Japanese troops too hard. It¡¯s been two days, and there¡¯s been no movement from the little Japs on the other side. Did you notice something?¡±

    Wang Bingde's words made Li Honggang, who was immersed in excitement, feel nervous. Hundreds of tanks were waiting for the Japs to attack. It was a quick counterattack, but the soldiers waited for two days.  It turned out that the Japanese soldiers, who were still in a hurry to reincarnate, made no movement at all and were as quiet as rabbits.

    "Did he beat the little devil too hard on the first day?" Li Honggang asked himself. Wang Bingde nodded and agreed with Li Honggang's statement, "It is possible. After all, more than 40,000 people were killed or injured overnight.  , and almost wiped out three divisions, how could Shouichi Terauchi not feel distressed, maybe this old devil is thinking of some crooked tricks?"

    After listening to Wang Bingde's words, Li Honggang calmed down. The task of the division commander was not as simple as imagined. It was very easy to stop the Japanese army. Artillery fire alone could blow up the road leading to Kunming into a wall of fire, which could delay the Japanese army.  It was more difficult to deal with. Once the covert movements of the Sulu Mobile Corps were noticed by Shouichi Terauchi, he would quickly escape. This old devil was not simple, and he took action and gave himself a small disadvantage.

    The strength of the 29th Corps is not enough to surround the Japanese army. It seems that if the Japanese army does not move, I will move. I will entangle the Japanese army with uninterrupted small-scale battles and attract the attention of Juichi Templeuchi to the Songshaoguan battlefield.  When he came up, Li Honggang had a plan in an instant, "Bingde, please go down immediately and convene a military meeting. Officers above the chief of staff of each brigade will participate."

    Tang Qiuli fixed his eyes on Temple Shouyi. At this time, the commander-in-chief of Temple Shouyi was more troubled than anyone else. He was indeed hurt by the beating in the rainy night battle. As soon as they fought, more than one division was involved.  In terms of military strength, the Southern Expeditionary Forces, which had no supplies of soldiers, could not afford such consumption.

    Therefore, even though Terauchi Shouichi was anxious, he still suppressed his inner impulse and stood still. He was looking for opportunities to avoid Songshaoguan and detour to Kunming. At the pass on the opposite side, Terauchi Shouichi did not dare to use the remaining troops to fight head-on.  , on a rainy night, the shells flying all over the sky left a deep impression on him.

    The reconnaissance troops sent out did find several roads that bypassed Songshaoguan, but Shouichi in the temple was so angry that it took two more weeks to travel. Your Excellency, the commander-in-chief, went around and around on the mountain road in northeastern Yunnan.  At that time, I am afraid that the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli have been waiting in front?

    Terauchi Shouichi was like an old wolf who fell into a trap, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth, but he received a telegram from the base camp. The telegram did not bring him a good mood, "Local reinforcements have arrived in Southeast Asia and are preparing to land in Yangon, Myanmar."  , your troops quickly went south to participate in the Southeast Asian campaign."

    "Tš­uchi Touichi sighed, the Seventh Army is completely gone, Iijima-kun, please wish yourself well!"  On the night of September 16th, the raiding troops sent by Li Honggang found that the Japanese camp was empty.

    After receiving the report, Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth bitterly and said to Chief of Staff Yang Ketian: "Give Li Honggang's Corps an order to follow and pursue, and give an order to Ma Chaoyang's Corps to block the borders between China, Vietnam, and Myanmar.  Direction to Ligong Mountain, leaving a hole to force the Japanese army to go to Savage Mountain!  "There was a deep chill in the voice, which made Yang Ketian feel cold.
