    Chapter 1,033 Conspiracy and Strategy

    The Japanese army sneaked into the four divisions of Chongqing. On the south bank of the Chishui River, the Sichuan army, who was waiting for work, hit them head-on with sticks and beat them until stars appeared in their eyes. As a last resort, after asking the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, General Touichi Terauchi, the entire army turned to various areas in Yunnan.  Advanced advance, this direction, was the weakest area of ??China's national defense at that time. There were no Central Army troops, no Tang Qiuli's *** division troops, only equipment and training levels, which were far inferior to the Japanese Yunnan local troops.  (Baidu search,)

    Without a strong opponent, the Japanese army took all the anger they had held back at Loushanguan and Chishui River on Long Yun's head. After entering Yunnan, they attacked Kunming and transferred all party, government, and military agencies and personnel in Kunming.  Long Yun, an industrial and mining company employee, was determined to have a good fight with the Japanese army outside Kunming.

    To be honest, Long Yun didn't want to fight the Japanese army head-on at all. He knew how much money he had and couldn't bear the trouble. He didn't want to fight. However, the local celebrities and gentry in Yunnan gave up and rushed to Long Yun's official residence to accuse him.  Long Yun, as the Chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Government and the Provincial Security Commander, abandoned the city and fled when the Japanese attacked at his doorstep, ignoring the voices of millions of people in Yunnan Province. He is worthy of being a son of Yunnan.

    These old gentlemen and scholars made impassioned speeches and passionate emotions, each more enthusiastic than the other, but they did not understand the current situation. Their enthusiasm was warm enough, but without considering their own assets, Long Yun did not dare to go against the wishes of these people.  His power was supported by Yunnan natives, who provided him with food and clothing. Without the support of these gentry and celebrities, Long Yun would be a one-man show and end up alone.

    Finally, in desperation, Long Yun took out Tang Qiuli's telegram in an attempt to convince these people that abandoning Kunming was temporary. In order to avoid the Japanese, the Japanese division's troops would leave after the Battle of Nanning.  When we enter Yunnan and fight against Japan, Kunming will soon be back in our hands.

    It would have been better if Tang Qiuli's telegram had not been brought out. But once it was brought out, these people exploded. There was only one meaning: Yunnan belongs to us. Those people from other provinces have no good things and it is not their own interests. Who cares about Yunnan?  People's personal feelings, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and hundreds of years of history have been translated, and the only conclusion can be drawn is that people from other provinces only have plots and ambitions towards Yunnan, and never have good intentions, and Tang Qiuli is no exception.

    Long Yun was forced to have no choice. He gritted his teeth and risked the Yunnan Army's little wealth to fight the Japanese army in Kunming. This was considered to be in line with public opinion and worthy of the folks in Yunnan. In this way, the plan for the Kunming Defense War was released. These veterans  Gentlemen, they left with satisfaction, and agreed to sell off their property and raise funds, even if they sell iron, they should also improve equipment for the Yunnan Army.

    After a few days of busy work, hundreds of thousands of Yunnan Army troops gathered in the direction of Kunming. Long Yun was unsure. As the head of Yunnan Province, he had not been so impulsive. He knew that this battle was impossible to fight, and there was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves.  , immediately reported to Tang Qiuli the plans for the Kunming Defense War, and implored Vice Chairman Tang to send elite troops to Yunnan for the sake of joint defense among the five southern provinces to jointly defend Kunming.

    After Tang Qiuli received the telegram from Long Yun, he frowned. This Long Yun was really confused. He wanted to fight the Japanese army. It was not his way of fighting. With the equipment and quality of the soldiers of the Yunnan Army, he could fight the Japanese army.  In a head-to-head positional defense battle, isn't that asking for trouble?

    With each other's shortcomings and the enemy's strong points, the final result of waiting for the Yunnan Army is to defeat them all, and Kunming will still be lost. The opinions of those old gentlemen are clearly based on scholarly enthusiasm. Who knows the dangers of war? Abandoning the city does not mean fear of the enemy.  , giving up Kunming is not escaping, nor is it giving up resistance, they are two different things!

    It is not a good sign that Long Yun can be manipulated. His own troops, with one hand holding down the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in Nanning, and one eye staring at the more than 200,000 Japanese troops in front of Loushang Pass, are unable to use their hands to enter Yunnan.  Even if three or five brigades were sent to defend Kunming, the casualties of the troops would be staggering, which was not in line with Tang Qiuli's military strategy.

    What's more, there are Japanese reinforcements coming from Japan. Yunnan is not the main battlefield at present. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's wording in his reply to Long Yun was rather harsh, "Chairman Long's Honor, I will not change what I said in the previous telegram."  Abandoning Kunming, avoiding the Japanese attack, regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, the best policy is to withdraw the main force of the Yunnan Army to northwest Yunnan. It cannot go against public opinion and must be based on the actual situation. "

    "If public will has been lost, I suggest that after one or two days of fighting with the Japanese army outside Kunming, and before the Japanese army has encircled Kunming, the Yunnan army should immediately withdraw westward, so as not to cause the Yunnan army to lose all its elite troops and be annihilated.  , we must not have any intention of sticking to Kunming.¡±

    "As for the troops of our ** Division entering Yunnan to fight, it will still take a few days. Only after the Battle of Nanning is over will we have the ability and time to carry out this matter. I will issue an order when the Yunnan Army withdraws from Kunming.  , ** Division AviationThe Southern Flying Group of the Nationalist Army will send a large number of fighter planes to cover the evacuation of the Yunnan Army. Tang Qiuli, commander-in-chief of the Military Joint Defense Headquarters of the Five Southern Provinces of the Nationalist Government Military Commission.  "

    Tang Qiuli could only do so much for Long Yun. He also understood Long Yun's difficulties. Without a fight, he would not be able to explain to the blind xenophobic forces in Yunnan. The final signature was the first time he had used this official title.  This means that we should take the responsibility of abandoning Kunming and let the xenophobic forces in Yunnan speak to us.

    After Long Yun received the telegram, he thanked Tang Qiuli profusely. It could be seen that Long Yun was sincere. The matter in Yunnan was temporarily settled. On September 4th, Tang Qiuli flew back to the Nanning front line from Guangzhou.  Meixue also came randomly, although he was absolutely unwilling to let Mei Xue come to the dangerous front line.

    But Mei Xue changed her usual gentleness and fragility and became very resolute. She had no choice but to bring her. Thinking about it carefully, she was really indispensable by his side. Just sleeping alone at night was torture enough.  Mei Xue also needs to take care of daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

    As soon as he got off the plane, he learned that the division commander had returned to the front line. Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the ** Division, brought a large number of officers to the airport to greet him. To be honest, in the past few days since Tang Qiuli returned to Guangzhou, Southeast Mobile Corps  Officers at all levels in the corps were in a state of confusion.

    Without him, the whole corps worked together and held back their energy to establish themselves as the main corps in the Battle of Nanning. However, the division commander suddenly left. Everyone was worried that the Battle of Nanning would be ruined and would not be successful. In the past few days,  , Ma Chaoyang was not annoyed to death. His headquarters was like going to a market. Many officers came to ask for news every day, but Ma Chaoyang was also full of doubts. How could he answer them?

    Now that it's all right, the division commander returned to the front line. Did he receive the order to change the battle deployment? The Battle of Nanning is a certainty and cannot be changed. As soon as he saw Tang Qiuli's face, Ma Chaoyang stepped forward and saluted, "  Welcome the division commander back to the Nanning front line. All the officers and soldiers of our Southeast Mobile Corps are in full position, waiting for the division commander¡¯s order! Defeat Nanning cleanly and completely eliminate the Japanese army!¡±

    Tang Qiuli glanced at Ma Chaoyang meaningfully and said, "Commander Ma, after I haven't seen you for a few days, have you learned to make insinuations? I don't know what you have in mind. I haven't been here for a few days.  Deputy Commander Tang said, you haven't stopped making small moves. Well, go to the headquarters and summon all your generals to have a good talk. "

    Ma Chaoyang smiled sheepishly. When he heard that the division commander had returned, the dozen or so brigade commanders of the Southeast Mobile Corps rushed over without waiting for notification. They all reported on the situation in the past few days. Tang Qiuli  He glanced at Ma Chaoyang in surprise and nodded approvingly.

    Ma Chaoyang has really not been idle these days. He is guarding so many tanks and artillery, as well as powerful thunder rocket launchers. Looking at the hundreds of thousands of little devils inside and outside Nanning City, he refuses to fight, and his heart is filled with anger.  As if in a hurry, he called the brigade commanders together and asked them to come up with ideas. Didn't the division commander not allow him to launch a general attack?  Well, let's clear the perimeter and prepare in advance for the general attack on Nanning. This reason is very sufficient and makes sense.

    The battle plan for clearing the Japanese positions outside Nanning was reported to Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander acting on behalf of Tang Qiuli and the commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps. Qiusheng carefully considered the plan reported by Ma Chaoyang, without affecting the overall situation.  It is very feasible. Firstly, it can clear the peripheral Japanese obstacles for the general offensive. Secondly, it can put pressure on Juichi Terauchi who is entangled with Xue Yue's central army in front of Loushanguan to see his next move.

    After getting the approval of the deputy division commander, Ma Chaoyang mobilized his troops to fight against the Japanese troops outside Nanning. With superior troops and firepower, coupled with the tank troops of four brigades, the Japanese positions outside Nanning were like paper and unbearable.  With one blow, the concrete bunkers, bunkers, and fortifications were reduced to ruins under the overwhelming artillery fire.

    Ma Chaoyang fought very strategically, making full use of his firepower advantage without fighting head-on. In three or four days, the Japanese army's Nanning outer positions were wiped out, and 17,800 Japanese troops were killed. They attacked the starting position.  It has advanced to the gates of Nanning City, and the casualties suffered by the regiment were only a few hundred people, which were more than the number of shells fired.

    In Ma Chaoyang's words, the results of the battle were achieved with cannonballs. This series of actions truly turned Nanning into an isolated city. It was surrounded by troops surrounding Nanning on all sides. The muzzles of the cannons were pointing black holes into the city of Nanning. If it weren't for  Ma Chaoyang remembered that his teacher had said that the little Japs in Nanning were bait to lure the old Japs in the temple, Shouyi, back. I am afraid that the Nanning that Tang Qiuli saw now would be in ruins.

    On September 6, the Japanese troops on the Loushanguan front line still made no other moves. Tang Qiuli waited impatiently and issued an order to the troops for a general attack on the Japanese troops in Nanning in the early morning of September 7.

    As soon as the order was issued to the troops, the Japanese troops on the Loushanguan battlefield suddenlyHe started to take action, quickly broke away from contact with the Central Army, and turned around to go south. However, the route south surprised Tang Qiuli.
