    Chapter 707: A show of force

    Tang Qiuli received two pieces of good news in Zhengzhou. The Battle of Taiyuan, which lasted three days, was over. In this battle, more than 80,000 Japanese troops in Taiyuan were wiped out. All Japanese troops in Shanxi were wiped out. In order to achieve his goals, Okamura Neiji  purpose, and finally lost all the mobility of the Japanese army in North China. For more than a month, Tang Qiuli thought hard, made careful arrangements, and took great risks, and finally got the result he wanted. Shanxi was officially placed under the Central Government.  The territory under the control of the division.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    This was a battle of strategic significance. Among the three parties competing in Shanxi, Yan Xishan, who was originally deeply entrenched, resigned sadly. The remaining defeated soldiers settled in Dingbian. The aggressive Okamura Neiji was defeated and died, burying 320,000 elite troops.  , only Tang Qiuli had the last laugh. Although he also suffered certain losses, the losses were insignificant compared with what he gained. At this point, all the provinces along the Yellow River Basin were placed under Tang Qiuli's jurisdiction.  .

    Its greatest significance is that the Japanese army in North China is already at a disadvantage in terms of total strength. The Japanese division can extend the front to the Pingjin area, and the strategic space has been greatly expanded. Shanxi's natural resources and the strong industry built during the Yan Xishan era  The foundation was used for his own use, and all areas formed an organic whole. The stumbling block of Yan Xishan was removed. Wherever the army went, military orders and political orders were all unimpeded. Tang Qiuli had the feeling of pulling out the throat  The smooth feeling of hard thorn.

    For this reason, Tang Qiuli issued a special commendation order in recognition of the frontline troops in Taiyuan, "I am pleased to hear that Taiyuan was captured and more than 80,000 Japanese troops were annihilated. At this point, the Japanese army's mobility in North China was completely lost. The base area in the Taihang Mountains was liberated in one battle."  It is of great significance and is a great relief. I hereby issue an order to the entire army to reward all the troops participating in the battle on the Taiyuan front line."

    The two veteran generals Jiang Baili and Feng Zhi'an were very happy after receiving the commendation order. It was not because of how brilliant the battle was or what was outstanding about them. In their sixties, there were still soldiers who went into battle.  Opportunity to annihilate Japanese pirates. No reward can replace this. There are several opportunities like this in life.

    After conveying the commendation order from the division commander Tang Qiuli to all the troops, the two returned to the headquarters, kicked out all the staff officers and correspondents, cooked several exquisite side dishes, and specially called the commander Tang Qiuli, who had been depressed since he left.  Mei Ting, who was unhappy, drank and talked happily. During the dinner, she was filled with emotion. Only a talented and sage person like the division commander could make such a big move to create a new situation in North China. Only then can we two old guys have the opportunity to lead troops to fight. Mei Ting persuaded her to drink wine diligently. Listen to  As the respected old general praised his beloved man, his depressed mood became much clearer.

    After the Taiyuan frontline troops rested for three days, the troops returned to their organic form and divided into two groups. They immediately marched eastward to the Pingjin area. Feng Jiwu led the Niangziguan garrison and six newly formed field brigades, and immediately left the Pingjin battlefield and passed through the Pingjin corridor.  , inserted directly into the front line of Shanhaiguan in the eastern Hebei region, preparing to meet the Kwantung Army's troops moving south by land, Sun Zhenbang's regiment immediately moved eastward.

    Chang Feng, chief of staff of the **Division, led the Taihang Mountain Field Corps and Sun Zhenbang's Yellow River Defense Corps, and quickly entered the Pingjin area, forming a tendency to encircle Tianjin and Peiping. At this point, all the troops of the **Division, except those in Shandong,  Except for Liu Tie's Han East Command troops, Li Honggang's 29th Corps, and Han Tie's Yellow River and Henan Garrison Corps, all the troops are concentrated in the Pingjin area. His strategic intention is obvious, and he is not prepared to let go of the more than 40 troops in Cangzhou.  Thousands of Japanese troops, cut off the Japanese army's retreat route to the north and northeast, and completely annihilated the last heavy Japanese army group in North China in Cangzhou.

    Another good news is that the Kwantung Army's southward troops, which had been exhausted from the battle with Tang Qiusheng's Corps, fell into encirclement in the Xiongxian, Renqiu, and Hejian areas after Feng Jiwu Corps and Changfeng Corps joined the battlefield. After five days  The Kwantung Army's generals were too arrogant to fight hard and completely annihilate this Japanese army. After being trapped in a tight siege, they neither moved closer to the Japanese army in Cangzhou nor retreated to the northeast while their retreat was not cut off. They were forced to fight against the Japanese army whose strength was more than twice theirs.  *The main force of the division fought hard.

    In the minds of the generals of the Kwantung Army's troops marching south, all the Chinese armies were as vulnerable as the Northeast Army during the September 18th Incident. A large group of Japanese troops defeated a division of the Northeast Army and was still alive today.  It is also talked about by all officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army. There is no reason why such a glory cannot be repeated in North China.

    Arrogant and underestimating the enemy, arrogant and arrogant, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps and their inextricable fights along the way did not wake up the Kwantung Army's southward troops. After reoccupying Tianjin, only a small number of troops were left to defend the huge Tianjin.  The imperial guards used all their strength to kill Shanxi. These warriors of the Yamato nation took it for granted that wherever the imperial army's flag went, they were invincible and invincible.

    After leaving Tianjin, this group of mad dogs encountered stubborn resistance from the Sulu Mobile Corps in the Xiongxian, Renqiu, and Hejian areas.He was hit hard, but he still didn't wake up and attacked frantically. Of course, Tang Qiusheng couldn't wait for this kind of attack by the Kwantung Army's southbound troops. Although the blocking troops fought hard, they could use the superior artillery fire in the wild to  He was very happy to rely on field fortifications to inflict maximum damage on these arrogant little devils.

    In the later stage, when Chang Feng's Taihang Mountain Field Corps and Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, with more than 100,000 troops, massacred Xiongxian, Renqiu, and Hejian areas, the commander of the Kwantung Army's southward troops realized  The situation was not good. Unfortunately, it was already too late. They could not even evacuate the battlefield. Tang Qiusheng's regiment was tightly entangled with them. More than 200,000 troops surrounded the Kwantung Army, which had lost nearly half of its troops. There was no great suspense in the battle.  , the Kwantung Army troops that went south finally paid the due price for their arrogance, that is, the entire army was annihilated, and no one survived.

    When Tang Qiu Li saw Tang Qiu Sheng's war report from the Pingjin front line, he was already on the plane to Nanjing. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang personally led the team, and twenty-two fighter jets formed an escort group. Tang Qiu Li did not expect that  , Le Yiqin will come up with such a huge lineup, it can be said to be a super luxurious lineup, I can't blame him for making a fuss.

    Ke Ke Yiqin doesn¡¯t think so. The whole world has been clamoring about the division commander¡¯s trip to Nanjing. The Japanese are not deaf. If they can get the news, the air force has just killed Okamura Neiji. There is no guarantee that the Japanese will not do it.  , aerial ambush, if anything happens to the teacher, even if he and Liu Cuigang have a hundred heads, they won't be enough to kill them. There is no big mistake, so despite the teacher's reproach, Le Yiqin still follows his plan.

    Le Yiqin did not dare to relax at all while flying the fighter plane. He extended the air warning range to hundreds of kilometers away. Once the Japanese fighter group was discovered, he would have enough time to cover the division commander's plane out of danger.  Tang Qiuli, who was sitting peacefully and holding Mei Xue's slender waist, didn't know what Le Yiqin was thinking.

    He was thinking about another problem. The Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army", was not as elite, brave and good at fighting as history said. It was not even as good as the Japanese troops on other battlefields in China, because the Kwantung Army  The troops are always stationed in the northeast. Without the opponents who can match him for many years of fighting, there is no combat experience. He has developed an arrogant mentality from top to bottom. Once he faces a real opponent, failure is inevitable.  .

    Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the historical phenomenon that in August 1945, the Soviet Red Army sent troops to the Northeast. In a few days, it swept across the Northeast where the Kwantung Army had been operating for decades.  With this thought, the slightest fear of the Kwantung Army disappeared, and the determination to regain the Northeast was strengthened.

    The lush green land of Jiangnan passes under the wing of the aircraft. Lakes and puddles dotted here and there reflect the sunlight, like mirrors scattered on the misty Jiangnan land. The Yangtze River appears in the field of vision like a flowing river of light. Mei Xue  He seemed very excited. Since he left his hometown and came to Dingbian, this was the first time he returned to his familiar hometown. The beauty in his memory instantly transformed into moving pictures in his mind.

    Like an innocent little girl, Mei Xue lay half of her body on Tang Qiuli's lap, lying by the porthole, greedily looking at the scenery under the wing. Although Dingbian is a big city, the climate is not as warm as that of Jiangnan.  The round breasts naturally formed a graceful curve. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but caress her greedily. The plane suddenly bumped, and Mei Xue fell into Tang Qiuli's arms. Although the relationship was already clear, she could face it  Among the other people in the cabin, Mei Xue couldn't help but blush with embarrassment and buried her head in his generous embrace. Tang Qiuli, on the other hand, didn't care. Sooner or later, he was his own person, so what else did he have to be afraid of.

    It was a safe journey. The fleet of planes circled over the Nanjing Airport and landed one after another. This formation alone was enough to make the citizens of Shoushan District talk about it for days. It made the dignitaries in Nanjing and the big guys in the military and political circles jealous.  There were so many disturbances and gossips.

    When Tang Qiuli stepped out of the cabin, a large number of reporters who had been waiting for him swarmed in and surrounded him. This situation shocked him. However, he also carefully observed that, unlike the previous few visits to Nanjing,  The difference was that no official from the government or the military committee came to greet him, and even Yang Yongtai, who was not said to be disliked, but still liked, did not show up. Was this a threat to himself, or was Chairman Chiang's order to deliberately indifference him.

    Before he could recover, a rather capable young reporter in a suit and leather shoes squeezed into the crowd and asked first: "Vice Chairman Tang, I am a reporter from the Nanjing Evening News. I want to ask you a question. The Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Shanxi.  Where were you when Commander Yan Xishan's troops were forced to defend Taiyuan with no food and reinforcements inside and no reinforcements from outside, and were forced to abandon Taiyuan after heavy losses? As the highest military commander in the Yellow River Basin War Zone, where were you?  What responsibility should we bear for the fall of Shanxi???  Please give me a clear answer." After asking, the reporter's eyes flashed with pride.
