    Chapter 1,139 Fierce Battle with Wu Bin (Part 1)

    Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the ** Division and commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, led the infantry, artillery, and tank troops on the way to Wubin in a hurry.  , Tang Qiusheng took a look at the battle situation on the first day and understood the seriousness of the situation at that time. In just one battle, no unit of the ** Division had more than half of its casualties.

    He knew better that in order to block the main force of the Japanese army, Chang Feng's troops and Yu Guanghan's troops, which were several times more powerful than his own, the price paid by Chang Feng's troops and Yu Guanghan's troops was judged based on his experience.  The troops can only hold off the Japanese army for one to two days, which means that tomorrow will be a test of life and death.

    Even if the main force of the Japanese army can be blocked in the Baldwin mining area for one or two days, the troops commanded by Chang Feng will definitely be defeated at the cost of annihilation of the entire army, including the four brigades commanded by Yu Guanghan, who will also suffer heavy casualties.

    It was already past ten o'clock on the night of July 4th, and the battle in Degang was still in a stalemate. One and a half battalions of soldiers from the directly affiliated corps were surrounded and tried to break out several times, but without success. Tang Qiuli was anxious.  , despite having tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of heavy artillery pieces and hundreds of tanks, they were helpless in the face of this situation.

    Fortunately, the communication link with the surrounded troops was never interrupted. The Chutian Special Operations Detachment, which had high hopes, was led by the detachment leader Colonel Chutian. Four detachments rushed to Degang at night. Tang Qiuli took the package.  The war situation in the Dewen mining area was reported to Brother Qiu Sheng. He knew that after seeing the report of the war situation, Brother Qiu Sheng understood what he was going to do.

    The troops led by Tang Qiusheng include three infantry brigades directly under the corps, three infantry brigades of his own, as well as artillery and tank troops. According to the current marching speed, it will be the fastest to reach Wubin and reach the Baodwen mining area.  Tomorrow morning will be around five o'clock, and before that, no one can guarantee whether the Japanese army will launch the most ferocious attack on Changfeng's blocking line before reinforcements arrive.

    Tang Qiusheng looked at the luminous watch, frowned, and said to the combat staff beside him: "Convey my order, gather all the vehicles of the army together, and load at least two brigades of troops and equipment, and an artillery unit."  Brigade, three rocket launcher battalions, and a tank brigade formed a rapid force and arrived at the Baldwin mining area four hours before the main force. "

    Later, Tang Qiusheng said to the guard battalion commander, "Send a company and follow me to set off immediately to the Baldwin Mining Area." The guard battalion commander hesitated for a while and said: "Commander, according to the instructions of Major General Huang Shanhu, the division's guard brigade commander,  The order, and the regulations for protecting the ** division's security forces, stipulate that commanders at or above the corps level are not allowed to arrive at the combat area before the troops. If necessary, they must obtain approval from the division commander or Captain Huang. "

    Tang Qiu laughed angrily, isn¡¯t this stubborn?  The security regulations that Shan Hu came up with were obviously aimed at Xiaoqiu. The commanders of several corps, his cousin, loved to take risks. They came down several times and made everyone fearful. This security regulation was still for him.  After discussing with Liu Tiehan, Shan Hu was instructed to do it.

    Unexpectedly, today, his guard battalion commander used it to tie himself up. Tang Qiusheng couldn't help but think of this word, but he couldn't say it clearly to the guard battalion commander, "In this way, battalion commander, because the battlefield situation is very urgent, I  We have to rush over. How about you apply here and I¡¯ll leave without delay?¡±

    In this way, under the reluctant gaze of the guard battalion commander, Tang Qiusheng led a guard company and rushed to the Baldwin Mining Area ahead of the large troops. When passing by Wubin, he vaguely heard the sound of gunfire coming from the front.  , I was very worried. Could it be that Ito launched an attack on Changfeng's blocking force overnight?

    When he arrived at the Baldwin Mining Area, the sound of gunfire had subsided, and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the night sky. He felt relieved, as long as the Japanese army did not attack in advance, he hurried to Chang Feng's headquarters.

    When Chang Feng heard that the third person in the army had arrived at his headquarters immediately, he hurriedly greeted him. Tang Qiusheng was still calm and calm, but in Tang Qiusheng's eyes, Chang Feng looked very haggard and his eyes were cloudy.  He was bloodshot and looked particularly tired. For some reason, Tang Qiusheng's gentle gaze swept over him, and most of the anxiety and depression in Chang Feng's heart disappeared.

    This is a completely different feeling from meeting his teacher Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiusheng gives people stability and calmness. Even the most impetuous people will not consciously restrain their temper in front of him. This year, Tang Qiusheng is only three years old.  Fourteen or five years old, among all the senior commanders of the ** division, he has the calmest personality.

    Chang Feng took a few steps forward and said: "Deputy division commander, now that you are here, I am no longer under pressure, and I am not afraid of your jokes. I have been fighting for several years, but I have never been like this. My heart is always hanging, no matter what.  "To support you," Tang Qiusheng heard a lot of connotations in this sentence. He smiled and said, "Teacher, I know?There is a lot of pressure here. As soon as the Battle of Banmao ended, the division commander received an order to form the Wubin Battle Headquarters and brought a large number of troops.  "

    After a slight pause, Tang Qiusheng said as if recalling: "Chang Feng, we have known each other for several years. You have been my chief of staff for more than a year, right? Even on the Songhu battlefield, it was so dangerous.  Under the circumstances, I have never heard you say such a thing," Chang Feng couldn't help but be shocked, the past iron-blooded years came to mind.

    Back then, when Chang Feng was the chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps, he led his troops to display the majesty of the Japanese Army, whether in the Wusongkou defense battle or the anti-landing battle in Hangzhou Bay. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died there.  One of his subordinates, Chang Feng, was promoted to major general by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek in his twenties, which caused a great sensation in the military circles of the Nationalist Government at that time.

    Thinking of this, Chang Feng thought to himself, "Was my starting point from the beginning wrong? I was ordered to stop the Japanese army with the belief that I would die, but I didn't consider that even if I didn't have to die, I would win the battle. Maybe, it was  My mentality has changed a lot," Chang Feng suddenly stood up and saluted, "I report to the deputy division commander, Chang Feng will obey your command!"

    At the moment, Tang Qiusheng quietly listened to Chang Feng's detailed report on today's half-day battle. Shaoqing, Tang Qiusheng said: "Chang Feng, although you paid a lot of casualties in today's battle, you also gave a heavy blow to the Japanese army.  With heavy casualties, it is not easy to hold off more than 400,000 Japanese troops for a day with 30,000 people.¡±

    Chang Feng couldn't help but shook his head. Obviously, he couldn't let go of the heavy casualties suffered by the troops under his command. Tang Qiusheng did not say anything more on this issue and continued: "After the fierce battle during the day, Ito Yanzaburo must  You may think that our blocking force is determined to stop him from marching north to Degang, and tomorrow's attack will be even more fierce."

    "Although I brought reinforcements, compared to the Japanese army, our military strength is still at a disadvantage. In this way, we changed the combat method. We abandoned the blocking line in the Baldwin mining area overnight and retreated to Wubin, with four directly affiliated corps.  Infantry brigades, seven infantry brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, built two blocking lines in Wubin to deepen the depth of defense. "

    "Yu Guanghan led two brigades of troops to continue flanking and harassing the Japanese army, and cooperated with the frontal interception of the battlefield. We used the Baodwen mining area to play an empty city strategy for Ito, and then, with the strength of four brigades,  , set up an ambush on the road from the Baldwin Mining Area to Wubin, and unexpectedly attacked the Japanese army. The ambush troops immediately retreated to Wubin. This was also an ambush in the blocking battle. "

    Chang Feng was stunned. He had never thought about giving up the Baodwen mining area. This was the only favorable terrain that he could rely on to Degang. Moreover, the distance to Wubin was only more than 20 kilometers, so short.  To set up an ambush at a distance, four brigades of troops have to be deployed. Just concealment is a big problem. It is said that division commanders like to take risks, and Deputy Division Commander Tang is not much different!  Could it be that this is something the Tang brothers have in common?

    Thinking about it, I feel relieved. Deputy Commander Tang now has capital. Except for the four brigades of the ** Division in northern Myanmar, except for the four brigades in the hands of Commander Tang Qiuli, the rest of the troops are concentrated in the hands of Tang Qiusheng.  Inside, there are 13 infantry brigades, as well as a large number of artillery and tank troops, more than 200,000 people, blocking it there is a copper wall and an iron wall.

    Taking advantage of the darkness, the 8th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps and the 9th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps quietly evacuated the position in the Baldwin Mining Area. When they were about to evacuate, the soldiers were not empty-handed. They were everywhere in the position and on the main traffic roads,  A large number of landmines were laid. Even if the Japs' artillery fire detonated most of them, the rest would be enough to give the Japs a headache.

    At around four o'clock in the morning the next day, the Japanese soldiers, who had been tortured by Yu Guanghan's troops so hard to sleep, yawned and gathered limply, ready to start the attack. Both their momentum and spirit were stronger than those on the first day.  It was a long time ago, and Ito himself didn't have a good rest. I don't know why, but when he woke up in the morning, the commander-in-chief was in a bad mood. His face was gloomy, his eyes were droopy and swollen, and he couldn't see anything.  Pleasant to the eyes.

    The orderly who served him was severely slapped several times. A senior staff officer, who was usually the popular figure in front of the General, also received a lot of scolding. In the headquarters, the second lieutenant confidential officer  Miss Tamako, who usually relies on her beauty and coquettishness, dares to act coquettishly and coquettishly in front of Commander-in-Chief Ito.

    But today, Miss Tamako was as dignified as a saint, and did not dare to show off her arrogance. Normally, the collar of her military uniform was half open, and her breasts were slightly exposed. Her snow-white breasts aroused the man's blood. Today, the military uniform was buttoned up.  Be strict.

    ¡°It¡¯s a joke, it doesn¡¯t matter when, this old guy is not thinking right today, don¡¯t ask for trouble,¡± Miss Yuzi thought to herself while pretending to adjust the radio station.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??, after the General finished this extremely boring breakfast, Chief of Staff Koizumi carefully asked for instructions, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the scheduled attack time has come," Ito glanced at Koizumi, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a dry voice.  :"let's start!"
