Chapter 439: The Great Victory in Southern Guizhou (End)
But listening to the hurried shouting on the phone, even if he didn't want to, he could only believe that there was really a mysterious mechanized army killing him behind him. He hurriedly put on his clothes, holding the belt and walking towards the direction.
Headquarters.
Opening the door of the headquarters, it was already very busy inside. Rikichi Ando looked at the panic of the various staff officers inside, frowned and shouted, "Why are you panic? It's just harassment from a small army! Do your job well,
Kamiya, come and report to me!"
Kamiya, who was named, quickly ran forward and said, "The information came over 33 minutes ago. It was just a phone call. The phone said there was a tank attack and then there was no response. We immediately called various strongholds and found out that several
There is no reply from the whole town, so it must have fallen."
Ando Rikichi looked at the map and asked, "How many troops have we deployed in the rear here, here, and in Qinzhou? How many people are there in our city?"
S immediately said, "We have about two fleets and marine brigades in Qinzhou, and two brigades of our own. There are about ten thousand people in the rest of the places, but they are scattered in more than a dozen counties, large and small.
There are hundreds of villages and towns, and the intelligence says that this force has at least 10,000 or 20,000 people. If we can't quickly find a place to block them, we will be easily defeated one by one. We only have one regiment in the city now, so we can only "
Ando Rikichi hummed and said, "Then choose Nama Town. The terrain in Wuzhou is too narrow. This army will definitely not be able to leave. Immediately mobilize the troops. At least one regiment of troops must be concentrated in Nama, and another one should be deployed.
One brigade will go to Wuyou, and one brigade will go to Shibu. Make sure to go there tonight first, and wait until the specific situation of this unit is clear tomorrow. In addition, order the troops east of Yulin to allocate half of their troops to Yulin, and then strengthen Lingshan one by one.
For the defense of Hengxian, Pubei and other places, if this force really cuts off our connection with Qinzhou, we must ensure that we still have one road open."
Although Ando Rikichi was arrogant, he understood very well that Bai Chongxi would rather sacrifice Nanning and let his Gui clan survive at the Kunlun Pass, so he must have great confidence in this army, so it is better to seek stability first.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Suddenly, a burst of gunfire caused Ando Rikichi and Kamiya to stop talking. Kamiya walked towards the window suspiciously, opened the window, turned around and shouted to Ando Rikichi, "Commander, come and see, it's the direction of that horse, it's been handed over."
Fire."
Rikichi Ando looked at the time on the wall and found that it was already four-twenty in the morning. He walked to the window and looked at the sky that had illuminated the night and said, "It came so fast..."
--The horse
Dai Anlan commanded the troops to advance northward along the highway. After taking down the east gate and learning that his troops had been reported to the Japanese army, Dai Anlan immediately changed lanes to the east, easily captured Datang, and continued all the way north.
The horse was attacked.
Nama is the last gateway to Nanning. As long as you capture this place, you can attack Nanning.
Dai Anlan's tanks and armored vehicles attack very sharply. Although they are only light tanks and light armored vehicles, they are enough for the Japanese army who have not even prepared much anti-aircraft guns. The Japanese army in the dark cannot accurately hit these soldiers running around.
Vehicles, but for tanks, those Japanese strongholds that were constantly waving fire whips were perfect targets.
Dai Anlan looked at the sky and found that it was gradually turning white. He said, "Order the troops to increase their attack intensity. For places that cannot be conquered for a long time, go around them and continue moving forward. Those will be dealt with by the infantry. The armored troops must be there."
Arrive at Yongjiang River before dawn and cut off the Japanese army’s waterway traffic.”
After receiving the order, the Fifth Army no longer cares about the Japanese troops on the road. As long as they are not blocking the advance of the tanks, no matter whether you fire another cold shot, leave it all to the infantry behind to slowly take care of you. The tanks and armored vehicles gather together like a group.
Like a tiger, it rushed towards the Yongjiang River. As long as the Japanese troops along the way dared to provoke them, more than a dozen tanks stopped and they were rained down with shells. Finally, at seven o'clock in the morning, the Fifth Army drank the Yongjiang River and successfully conquered the Yongjiang River.
The Japanese army cut off the connection between Nanning and Qinzhou, and also cut off the waterway transportation between Nanning and Guigang. Du Yuming came to the edge of the Yong River, looked at the flowing river water and the city of Nanning on the opposite side and said, "Chief Bai asked us to completely cut off the Japanese army's communication lines.
Now the Japanese army still has one, Zheng Dongguo, what do you think?"
Zheng Dongguo was born in the first phase of Huangpu and was a tiger general during the Great Wall War. He saluted and said, "Military seat, I promise to capture Liu Yuan, Nanyang and Luancheng within one day, and completely cut off the Japanese supply line."
Du Yuming nodded and said, "Okay, Jun Wu, I will give you 24 hours. You can take away half of the tanks and armored vehicles. There are still many Japanese troops in Guigang. You must win the three places before the Japanese reinforcements!"
Zheng Dongguo didn't hesitate. After standing at attention to express his understanding, he immediately went down to order his troops and left.
Du Yuming then said to Dai Anlan, "Let the brothers take turns to rest, dig fortifications, and wait for the Japanese counterattack. As long as we persist for a week, we will win!"
——Kunlun Pass
"Wow, wow, we attacked 300 miles in a row and defeated seven enemy camps in a row. What a good fight!" Bai Chongxi said with a laugh while looking at the telegram sent from the Fifth Army.
"Sir Bai, the Japanese army's field supplies have been cut off. Should we counterattack immediately?" Li Jishen asked.
Bai Chongxi squinted his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, after all, these are tens of thousands of Japanese troops. They are a trapped beast. I immediately ordered He Xuan to slowly give up part of the position, luring the Japanese troops to think that they only need to increase their strength to take it."
Go down to Kunlun Pass and let them consume more ammunition and bleed more blood. In addition, order the troops from the east and west to squeeze towards Nanning immediately. I will completely eat up the fifth division!"
Li Jishen stroked his beard and said, "This fifth division is known as the Steel Regiment and is extremely good at fighting. Isn't it more difficult to capture them? Why not defeat them instead?"
Bai Chongxi smiled and said, "Of course I know, but sometimes bigger goals can attract people. Why should Xu Tingyao, Ye Zhao and others work hard without giving them a little hope? Who doesn't want the great achievement of annihilating the Fifth Division?"
?The Fifth Army is separated from Nanning by a plug, so whoever can use the hammer to open the head of the Fifth Division will have the first success!"
Li Jishen learned that Bai Chongxi had a plan in mind, so he nodded and said, "Then I'm relieved. I'll just sit and watch the boats and oars disappear into ashes while little Zhuge talks and laughs."
——Nanning
"The Navy said that their pilots have been fighting continuously for more than half a month, and there is an emergency in Lianyungang, Shandong Province, and they are not willing to cooperate with us in fighting." Listening to the words of the communications soldier, Ando Rikichi really felt what a house leak is.
It rained continuously all night, and the ship was in trouble again. The best way to deal with these tanks and armored vehicles was airplanes, and now these damn navy red deer actually said they were going north to Jiangsu? Could it be that a few warships would be better than the noble No. 1
Is the Fifth Division still important?
But Rikichi Ando is not qualified to direct the navy's movements. After all, the navy is cooperating with his own operations. Now that he is not cooperating... he can only appeal to Nanjing and Tokyo.
"Report, the National Army from Long'an suddenly dispatched in large numbers and is attacking our army! Fierce fighting is going on now!"
"Report, the National Army in Guigang began to attack our army and was repelled by our army, but the enemy was numerous. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Report, Nanyang Town was attacked by the mechanized troops of the National Army and is now in danger. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Report, Longzhu Island was attacked by National Army infantry. Wu Yuezhen asked if he could provide support?"
Bad news came one after another. Ando Rikichi looked at the continuously captured rear areas on the map, and finally made up his mind and said, "Contact the frontline troops and prepare to give up the attack on Kunlun Pass..."
"Report!! Good news, frontline battle report, Jiuzhai has been captured, and our army is attacking Batang!"
Ando Rikichi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at the map and said, "After Batang is Kunlun Town. Get me through General Imamura immediately."
Imamura was watching the cheering Japanese troops from the position, and kept saying cheering words for the troops. This old village was where the original checkpoint was, and the terrain was difficult. Imamura and the Japanese troops tried their best to be blocked by the 46th Army. This time
It was finally captured after a bloody battle, and Imamura's heart was filled with pride.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, General Ando Rikichi's phone number." The communications soldier ran over with a telephone on his back and said.
Imamura picked up the phone and smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Rikichi Ando, give me a few more days and Kunlun Pass will be breached. Listen to how loud the cheers of the warriors are."
Ando Rikichi sighed, "There is bad news. A mechanized unit of the National Army suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I think it should be the Fifth Army. Now it has captured the East Gate, Nama and other places.
, and also cut off our waterways, and our logistics lines have been severed."
Imamura said in shock, "What??" He looked at the cheering crowd and whispered, "How much ammunition do we have? In addition, if it is the Fifth Army, they have a lot of tanks and armored vehicles, and they have to let the navy
Immediate air support."
Ando Rikichi said bitterly, "Something happened in Lianyungang. The navy said it wanted to go north to Lianyungang, but it refused... I have already sent a complaint to the employer, but now we can only rely on ourselves. Our ammunition is based on what you fired a few days ago."
The law can still last for ten days, what do you think?"
Imamura immediately said, "Ten days, that's enough!" Imamura looked at Batang in the distance and said, "Some time ago, I was unwilling to pay too much blood of warriors, but now I don't care about that. I only need five days."
We can conquer all the positions at Kunlun Pass, and then we will fight back and beat the Fifth Army into scrap metal!"
Although Ando Rikichi was worried, he still said trustingly, "Okay, then you first transfer a regiment back to Nanning. I will hold on here while you speed up the offensive and must capture the Kunlun Pass within five days!"
After hanging up the phone, Imamura looked fiercely at the National Army position on the mountain and said to the officers around him, "Launch an attack immediately! We must capture Batang within one day!"
The 46th Army was immediately attacked by an unprecedented attack. The crazy Japanese troops kept rushing towards the mountains. The 46th Army's machine gun bullets were burned out box by box. The machine gun barrels were hit to the back and there was nothing to replace. They could only use urine to force them.
Cooling down, these five days were the most unforgettable days for He Xuan and the entire 46th Army. In the end, He Xuan could only go to the front line and shoot. Five days later, the 46th Army lost Batang and Kunlun Town and defended them to the death.
In the last position, the 46th Army had less than 3,000 soldiers.
He Xuan walked on the battlefield step by step, looking at the tired looks of the soldiers, tears could not stop flowing down his face. The 46th Army was really exhausted this time, and he didn't know when he would regain his strength.
"The Japanese troops withdrew! The Japanese troops withdrew!! We won! We won!!!"
At first it was a shout from one person, and slowly, the shouts became one. Everyone looked around in shock, at the foot of the mountain, and at the yellow troops slowly retreating. He Xuan was shaken by the officers around him.
, shouted, he burst out laughing, his eyes filled with tears. He rushed to the headquarters and said, "Contact Commander Bai immediately, the Japanese troops are retreating, they can't hold it anymore!"
Rikichi Ando from Nanning looked at Imamura, who had his head lowered in front of him, and sighed and said, "There is no way, if we continue to fight, we will be really in danger. If we withdraw first, we can fight back again!"
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Imamura smashed the table fiercely, and the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He looked at Ando Rikichi and said, "The responsibility for this battle is mine. If I
If I had made up my mind earlier to attack regardless of the cost, this would not have happened. I will be responsible. How do we go from here?"
Ando Rikichi waved his hand and said, "I am the commander, and the responsibility is mine. I cannot run away. The National Army is currently squeezing us from three directions, but our army has also assembled a mixed brigade in Qinzhou, which is enough to cooperate with us to open the door."
..Let’s go back to Qinzhou and wait for the next opportunity to fight again!”
Imamura nodded and walked out without saying a word. He looked in the direction of Kunlun Pass in the north and said in his heart, "He Xuan...I remember this name. Sooner or later, I will take your head to cleanse it."
My shame."
——Chongqing
"The Battle of Guinan ended with the repulse of the Japanese army to Qinzhou and Yulin. In this battle, our army worked hard and our soldiers worked hard, especially the Fifth Army who diverted thousands of miles to attack and the 46th Army who defended the Kunlun Pass. Our army killed and injured a total of 70,000 Japanese troops.
More than 8,000 people...recommended seats, this number..." Chen Brai looked at Agent Jiang with his eyes closed in embarrassment and said.
Agent Jiang slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's eighty-seven thousand people. You pronounced it wrong!"
Chen Bulei nodded quickly and said, "Yes, there are 87,000 people. We are appointed. How to deal with the aftermath?"
Jiang Jie stood up and said, "There are rewards for merit and punishment for demerits. Give merit and recognition to Dai Anlan and other Fifth Army generals, and the bonuses should not be small. As for the 46th Army...it seems to have been crippled. The entire army has less than two men."
, So heroic, let Xia Wei be the deputy commander of the fourth theater, and He Xuan be promoted to the deputy commander of the 16th Group Army, acting on his behalf."
Chen Brai's eyes rolled wildly when he heard this. Xia Wei is also an old man from the Gui family. He is also a classmate of Bai Chongxi. He has a gentle personality and does not like fighting. He will not have much power if he is transferred to the deputy commander. It seems that the Gui family has become more powerful.
Stronger, but He Xuan is from the Hunan Army. It's okay for him to be the army commander. If he rises further, will the local Guangxi generals be willing? But for the meritorious award, even Bai Chongxi has nothing to say. If Bai Chongxi objects,
The central government can naturally find a way to win over the 46th Army, which is really beneficial no matter what.
After thinking about it, Chen Brai said, "Okay, I'll draft the order immediately."
