    Chapter 519: Finally found the Taihang Mountains

    After reading the summary of the battle over the past few days, Tang Qiuli applauded. This battle had made them perfect. With more than 30,000 troops, more than 100,000 Japanese troops were disturbed day and night. They even slept with their eyes half open.  , if you don't be smart, maybe a group of murderous gods will appear somewhere. Even so, it's impossible to guard against them. The thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain are filled with battlefields.

    Is this clearly the Sparrow War, one of the old man's famous guerrilla tactics? However, this is an improved version of the Sparrow War, because what he released was a group of eagles, and the ones he used were not guns and cannons. They were equipped with the same number of weapons.  The little devil is not an opponent. Just one mouthful will make the Japanese army's skin and flesh bruise. However, at this time, the Japanese Red Army was still in a corner of northern Shaanxi and had not officially entered the historical stage. The old man's theory of "protracted war" would only be available a few years later.  Out of the oven.

    Later, Tang Qiuli felt itchy, so he hid it from the heads of other departments in the division. After talking to Shan Hu, he led the guard brigade on a long-distance raid of more than 100 kilometers, quietly entered a Japanese logistics supply base, and killed the Japanese soldiers standing guard.  The sentry wiped his neck with a dagger, and after killing a squadron of Japanese soldiers, he carried everything he could take, and burned the rest with a fire. When the Japanese reinforcements arrived, he saw only ashes everywhere and his charred companions.  Corpses and lingering smoke.

    After several days of fighting in the Eagle Strike, Yamaguchi lost many troops and was in the position of being passively beaten. Forced by the situation, he had to change his tactics and gather his troops. The Japanese troops who penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains retreated one after another and concentrated in the direction of Shexian County. After receiving the intelligence,  Tang Qiuli was not going to let the Japanese troops who had been rampant in the base area for more than 20 days retreat so easily. After burning down the house and destroying the family, he just wanted to pat his butt and leave. How could such a cheap thing be done?

    He issued a new call for battle and launched a full-scale attack, using volleys, ambushes, attacks, etc., to do everything possible to eliminate the Japanese army. In a word, fight as you please, even if you throw a few rocks, as long as you can kill the little Japs.

    In addition, he also ordered the Huangyadong base to print a large number of leaflets. The name was scary enough. The three bright red characters "Kill Order" were drafted by him personally. "Tang Qiu, Commander-in-Chief of the Yellow River Basin Theater Command,"  According to Li's instruction, the Japanese invaders Matsushita Regiment massacred more than 3,000 of our innocent civilians in one day, creating the Sucheng Massacre that shocked the whole country. Their beastly behavior was outrageous and outraged by both humans and gods. The troops to which they belong must fight at any cost.  Annihilate this regiment completely. All Japanese soldiers belonging to the Matsushita regiment, dead or alive, will have their heads cut off to commemorate our dead compatriots. Japanese Chief Matsushita Seiichi and Japanese special agent Xu Fu are the chief culprits of the Sucheng murder case. Once captured,  He was immediately taken to Su City and sentenced to death."

    There is also a line of large characters at the back. This fatwa will never expire. Anyone in our military or civilians who can provide the whereabouts of the Panasonic Regiment will be heavily rewarded. Under the names of Matsushita Seiichi and Xu Fu, there are also big blood-red ticks, looking at  It was shocking. The leaflets were scattered all over the roads that the Japanese troops must pass. Although the officers strictly ordered not to circulate them, there was no fire in the paper. The soldiers of the Matsushita Regiment were in panic all day long. They finally knew that the evil they had done would sooner or later  It has to be paid back

    For a time, there was fighting everywhere in the Taihang Mountains. The Japanese troops retreated and were exhausted. As they were rushing on their way, a burst of artillery shells flew from nowhere. After blowing up a large number of soldiers, the attackers disappeared without a trace. In the clear sky above their heads, suddenly, from  On the cliffs on both sides, grenades like meteors fell head-on. The blast caused the Japanese soldiers to cry for their fathers and mothers. Their blood and flesh were flying everywhere. They got ready to fight, but there was no movement again. The mountain road that they were walking smoothly suddenly became furious, and a large number of landmines were dropped.  There was a violent explosion. In addition to the corpses on the ground, the Japanese army also had many wounded soldiers missing arms and legs. This was even more troublesome. One wounded soldier required at least two soldiers to take care of him.

    They retreated and were beaten all the way. They were tortured several times in a day. The Japanese officers and soldiers were tortured to the point of insanity. They were so angry that when they saw something they didn't like, they would shoot and bombard them for a while. Finally, they gathered all the troops.  After coming back, counting the troops and summarizing the results, Yamaguchi almost cried. In a few days, they were beaten piecemeal by Tang Qiuli's army. Coupled with the consumption in the previous period, almost a main division's troops were lost.  The results of the war were horrific, with countless empty houses burned down, and the Panasonic unit killing more than 3,000 civilians.

    When mentioning Matsushita Seiichi, Yamaguchi became angry. This coward was frightened by Tang Qiuli's killing order. Without the protection of a squadron soldier, he didn't even dare to sleep. He was nervous all day long. In the middle of the night, he often  He jumped up and shouted that the Chinese army was coming, which made the entire regiment demoralized and panicked. Yesterday, he actually found himself and applied to retire and return to China.

    After being scolded by Yamaguchi, if it weren't for the black circles under his eyes, the wobbly walking, and the fact that he had lost a lot of weight, he would have been sent to a military court and sentenced to the crime of retreating from battle, and that Xu Fu  , had long since slipped back to Peiping, returned to the intelligence system, served as his intelligence officer, and continued to deceive the Chinese people.

    After two days of rest and recuperation, the Japanese armyThe way of advance was to attack Wuxiang in southern Shanxi. Yamaguchi learned the lesson of spreading his fingers and getting beaten everywhere. The divisions stayed close together and advanced as a whole. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops were like locusts, stepping on the Taihang Mountains.  The snow in the area is rolling northward.

    As soon as the Japanese army left Shexian, Tang Qiuli knew that their next attack target must be Taiyuan. This was also the only effective way to break the current deadlock, because the Japanese army was heavily concentrated, like a rolling stone mill.  There was nowhere to start, the eagle strike tactic was ineffective, and with the troops Tang Qiuli currently had, he did not have the strength to block a frontal attack.

    The Japanese army raided the Taihang Mountains for more than 20 days, but finally returned without success. The siege of the base area was lifted. Xiangyue Qingsi's attack on Taiyuan was vicious enough. Tang Qiuli arranged his troops to use the favorable terrain to block attacks along the way and strive to  While slowing down the Japanese army's march north, they notified Yan Xishan, who had returned to Taiyuan, of the latest enemy situation.

    After receiving Tang Qiuli's urgent notification, Yan Xishan absolutely believed it was true. After operating in Shanxi for so many years, what happened on this ground could not be hidden from Chief Yan's ears. There was only one thing he didn't understand. There were people in Shanxi.  What's so great about making the Japanese jealous and using more than 400,000 troops to capture Shanxi?

    I don't want to rob the world of Jiangnan, but I want to have trouble with my old man. **, I only pick out the weak ones when I eat persimmons. I will scold them. Taiyuan must not be lost. If Taiyuan is lost, Datong will be beaten no matter how good it is.  Yes, the old man has no choice but to run away. Wherever he goes, he only lowers his eyes and eats based on other people's faces.

    Shamelessly, he implored Tang Qiuli's troops in the Taihang Mountains to try their best to delay the Japanese army's march north. At the same time, he deployed 140,000 troops deployed on the banks of the Yellow River in western Shanxi, in the Liulin and Yongheguan areas, to guard against the Zhu Mao Red Army.  The main force was urgently transferred eastward to the Wuxiang area for defense.

    On December 10th, Tang Qiuli, who had been dragged to the mountain pass in the Taihang Mountains for eleven days, finally saw the ancient city wall of Wuxiang. He looked back at the snow-covered, towering peaks and rolling Taihang Mountains, feeling lingering fear in his heart.  , I was lucky not to be killed by the Chinese devil in the Taihang Mountains. I did not know how many ambushes I suffered along the way. The hundreds of miles of road were just paved with the corpses of soldiers. The original four-day journey took a full eleven days.  sky.

    During this period, I don¡¯t know how many times I received telegrams from the Commander. First they were urging, then they were asking questions, and finally they even brought out the words of dismissal and investigation. Yamaguchi is such a hothead, and everything has been going wrong since he entered the damn Taihang Mountains. That Tang  Qiu Li was like an extremely annoying fly, surrounding him, no matter day or night, not letting the troops stop. The most annoying thing was that in ancient Han, in that place between two mountains and a ditch, Tang Qiuli's troops,  They blocked the mountain pass and bombarded the imperial troops with heavy artillery all night long, not to mention the losses. On the second day, all the soldiers were listless, swaying while walking, and at least two squadrons of them fell into the ravine and died.

    Yamaguchi cursed the Taihang Mountains and Tang Qiuli. He most hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would do something crazy and send the Taihang Mountains and Tang Qiuli to hell. When they got to the vicinity of Wuxiang, even if they left the Taihang Mountains, there would be a flat plain ahead.  There was no danger to defend the Jinzhong Plain, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    It is Yamaguchi's established strategy to capture Wuxiang and open the way to Jinzhong and Taiyuan. At this point, it will probably not be a problem to fulfill the commander's order, right?  Although it was delayed for six days, I finally had an explanation that wasn't too ugly.

    The commander of the 6th Division of the vanguard called for instructions. The troops had been marching and fighting in the mountainous areas for days. The soldiers were exhausted and tired. Should they rest on the spot for a day and take Wuxiang in one go tomorrow?  Yamaguchi shook his head repeatedly and lectured in the tone of a military strategist: "No, no, soldiers are valuable and quick, and they can catch them by surprise. Let the Chinese people who believe in Sun Tzu's Art of War see that their methods are outdated. The Imperial Japanese Army is truly invincible."  The invincible warrior, Nakajima-kun, prepare to attack. I am waiting for your good news and hope to see you in Wuxiang Castle."

    After putting down the phone, Yamaguchi yawned. He was really tired, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and his muscles were sore. He asked the orderly to bring him a glass of milk, drank it in one breath, and then fell down on the camp bed and fell asleep with his head covered.  , he doesn¡¯t need to worry about fighting a small Wuxiang, one division is enough.

    The Japanese soldiers who had just rested and had not recovered yet, cursed in low voices amidst the orders of the officers, formed an attack formation, and rushed towards Wuxiang County. However, they were not as nervous as the impending war.  The township is too small to be worth using so many troops. One division can flatten Wu Township.

    The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army that attacked Wuxiang hit an iron plate and was knocked dizzy and bounced back. It stretched for more than 40 kilometers from Guocun, Qinxian, and Fengzhou to Wuxiang and Haobei.  On the front line, 140,000 Jin troops used a few days to build a large number of defense fortifications, and there were three lines of defense in depth, like iron fences, blocking the way of the Japanese army.??

    In Yamaguchi¡¯s headquarters, the phone rang loudly. The staff officer on duty picked up the phone and looked at the Chief of Staff who was sleeping soundly with a troubled expression.
