Chapter 540 Strategic Pattern

When he woke up, it was already sunny outside the window, rubbing his somewhat drowsy head, Tang Qiuli got dressed and got out of bed, this night, he didn't rest well, everyone consciously took care of the teacher's body, there was nothing particularly important, and they wouldn't bother him in the middle of the night.

Pushing open the door, the snow-covered mountains, the waves generally extend into the distance, the unique clear air of the Taihang Mountains in winter instantly filled his lungs, making his drowsy brain vibrate, the soldiers of the special guards, seeing the division commander wake up, hurriedly notified the cooking class to deliver food, today's breakfast and hearty, slimy millet porridge, Huang Cancan's nest head, crispy raw pickles, more appealing to the appetite, is a plate of pickles fried with hare meat.

He looked at the old squad leader of the cooking squad with a smile on his face, who was over half a hundred years old, the old squad leader knew the teacher's thoughts, and told him that this was Captain Huang who went into the mountain early in the morning to fight, saying that it was to make up for the division commander, Tang Qiuli smiled knowingly, buried his head in eating, and said that the mountain tiger was a rough man, in fact, he still didn't understand him, these Tang Qiuli's favorite meals were eaten today, and they actually felt a little unsweet.

He knew in his heart that Su Jingfeng's troops had suddenly lost contact, and he was worried about the big man Su, and his mind was not on eating at all, he hurriedly filled his stomach and immediately rushed to the headquarters, the first thing he said was to ask Chen Feng, the director of communications, if there was any news of Su Jingfeng's troops, Chen Feng shook his head silently.

Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment, if it was said that Su Jingfeng's troops were all wiped out by the Japanese army, and he didn't believe that he was killed, he was unwilling, and asked Chen Feng what the reason was, according to Chen Feng's analysis, a radio station that might be in contact with the division commander was broken, however, this possibility is extremely small, the troops are equipped with multiple radio stations, which can be replaced, and there is also a possibility that the headquarters of the Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps was suddenly attacked, all the personnel were killed, the radio station was destroyed, and the contact password was lost.

After speaking, seeing the division commander's increasingly gloomy face, Chen Feng didn't say any further, Tang Qiuli didn't know that on the battlefield, anything would happen, but he didn't want to think about the bad place, he waved his hand at Chen Feng in silence, Chen Feng saluted, and hurriedly seemed to flee from this place.

Tang Qiuli forced himself to get rid of his worries about Su Jingfeng's troops, and looked at the large military map on the wall, the suspicious soldiers sent by Ryosuke Isoya, the Shadow Cavalry Wing and a large group of Japanese troops, entered the area of the Iron Gate west of Luoyang, and stopped advancing, it is ridiculous to say, from Zhengzhou to Luoyang, along the way, without encountering a little resistance, Shadow Zuo used such a few men and horses to occupy Luoyang, another important town in Henan, without bloodshed.

The troops of a division of the Eighth Army Corps defending here had already fled, and the sun flag was raised over Luoyang, and Ying Zuo was very proud, and immediately telegraphed the news of the occupation of Luoyang to the commander Isoya Ryosuke, and asked himself to be the commander of the Luoyang occupation army, and led his troops to defend the Luoyang area.

Ryosuke Isoya, who received the telegram from Kagesa, was so angry that he wanted to laugh, what did this guy think, with his little strength, he wanted to occupy the vast land around Luoyang, it was just a daydream, Kagesa, this guy didn't understand yet, he was just a suspicious soldier, he had been delayed in Luoyang for too long, could Tang Qiuli let him go?

He ordered Ying Zuo, your task has been completed, immediately lead the team back to Zhengzhou, as the garrison of Zhengzhou, received the telegram of Ying Zuo's call, full of displeasure, had to give up the dream of being a local emperor, ready to carry out the order of His Excellency the commander, in fact, he still has a lot of opinions in his heart.

Ying Zuo wanted to go, but Tang Qiuli didn't want to let him go, the bait released by Ryosuke Isoya deceived himself greatly, and the forces that could be used in his hands were used to block the entrance to the west, but it was a false alarm, thinking about it, it made him hate it so much that his teeth itched, Tang Qiuli ordered Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade to go south immediately, and before the Ying Zuo cavalry wing returned to Zhengzhou, he must be completely solved, and the combat method Tong Batu decided by himself, as long as the result was achieved.

Tong Batu, who received the order, looked up to the sky and smiled happily, since he entered the Taihang Mountains, he has adopted the tactics of running with a mouthful, and has not yet fought a battle happily, and this Mongolian man who is accustomed to prancing horse charging has been aggrieved, and now, the opportunity has come, and it is the cavalry of the Japanese on the other side, Tong Batu is like a wolf that smells blood, and the cells in his body are boiling.

At the brigade-wide combat meeting, he said this: "Everyone, are you in a panic, our dignified cavalry, hiding from the little devils every day, don't you have a nest? As soon as he asked this, the Mongolian men of the Second Cavalry Brigade blew up at that time, and they shouted nonsense, and the brigade commander sent a telegram to the division commander to ask for battle, and if he continued to be idle like this, he would grow fat and his sabers would be rusty

Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Tong Batu nodded with satisfaction and said: "Sit down, what are you arguing about, the words are not finished, the division commander came to order, immediately go south to Henan to fight, this time the opponent is a peer, a cavalry wing of the little devil, the division commander's request is not left, all of them are killed, how about it, it is a difficult bone to gnaw, right?" ”

These officers don't like to listen to it, don't the cavalry of the little devils also have a head? Can you withstand the sabers of our Mongolian cavalry? The four regiment commanders asked for battle, in order to compete for the position of the vanguard regiment, they quarreled red-faced, and they did not give in to each other, but Tong Batu decided that the first cavalry regiment was the vanguard regiment, and although the other regiment commanders were not very happy, they had no choice.

Tong Batu finally said: "The cruel words have been said to you, that's good, the whole brigade will be pulled out immediately, people will not undress, horses will not take off the saddle, and go straight to Gongyi at the fastest speed, there, kill the cavalry of the little devil, act immediately" More than 8,000 horses and horses of the Second Cavalry Brigade immediately went out of the Taihang Mountains overnight, and the smoke and dust rolled all the way, straight into Gongyi, Henan, and Ying Zuo was still slowly and gradually collecting troops to Luoyang, completely unaware that thousands of Mongolian men rushed towards him viciously.

Since the Japanese army had no intention of attacking Xi'an, the Sun Zhenbang Division, the Yellow River Defense Headquarters in the Shangluo area, the Yuan Jinghao Department of the Shaanxi Local Garrison Force, and the Zhou Yushan Division of the Independent Division's Transportation Headquarters, totaling more than 68,000 troops, immediately left for Zhengzhou.

Isoya Ryosuke's First Army, eager to go south to the Songhu area, the line from Zhengzhou to Anyang, leaving only one wing of troops to defend, this guy does not plan to come back, this good opportunity, Tang Qiuli can not miss it, he is ready to use these forces to recapture all the lost places on the line from Zhengzhou to Anyang, and plug the holes in the Anyang defense line to prevent the Japanese army from increasing troops in the direction of Xuzhou from this opening.

The Zhengzhou Campaign Command Headquarters was formed by Yuan Jinghao, Sun Zhenbang, and Zhou Yushan, and unified command of the battle to recover the lost territory in Henan, with Yuan Jinghao as the commander-in-chief, and Sun Zhenbang and Zhou Yushan as the deputy commanders-in-chief.

As soon as the order was issued, the three troops immediately rushed to the direction of Zhengzhou, the division commander's order was very clear, before the battle of Xuzhou began, the mouth of Anyang must be blocked, for the division commander's arrangement, Sun Zhenbang and Zhou Yushan did not have any opinions, speaking of which, Sun Zhenbang was still from Yuan Jinghao when he was the brigade commander, the person who went out of the independent Fourth Brigade, Zhou Yushan was the old man of the independent division, and the three of them cooperated, without a little obstacle, which was also one of the reasons why Tang Qiuli handed over this combat mission to them with confidence.

After deploying the battle plan, Tang Qiuli shook his head with a wry smile, this time he really used all his family resources to the front line, and the troops at hand were only Liu Chun's First Cavalry Brigade, Ma Chaoyang's Independent Second Brigade, Jiang Yanming's Huangyadong Garrison Brigade, less than 30,000 horses, and he had to keep an eye on the Jin army in Wuxiang and Yan Xishan, and the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the mountain pass, once there was an emergency in any direction, he had no troops to send.

Tang Qiuli is now thinking about it, as long as Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng's Dezhou, Feng Jiwu's lady can free up their hands in any direction, the war situation in the north will be completely alive, and now, there are two Japanese troops that can be eaten, one is the Yamaguchi group in Wuxiang, and the other is the first army that is eager to capture Isoya Liansuke in the south of Xuzhou.

Killing the mountain pass requires Yan Xishan's full cooperation, but dealing with this old man, Tang Qiuli really has no bottom in his heart, and when the battle is at its most intense, this old man comes to stand by and watch, put his limited troops on the front line and fight the Japanese, and he finally comes out to pick up the cheap, with his understanding of Yan Xishan, it is absolutely possible.

Then, only in the direction of Xuzhou, with all the conditions for the total annihilation of the Japanese army, Li Zongren went out for the first time, and if he didn't fight well, he had no face, in all respects, Li Zongren's mood to fight this battle was stronger than anyone else, plus the strength of the troops he commanded, more than twice the first army of the Japanese army, and they were the elite troops of the Gui army and the Sichuan army.

Historically, with Xuzhou as the center, in the Taierzhuang area in the northeast of Xuzhou, it was indeed the burial place of the Japanese army under the Isogu Liansuke, and Li Zongren was also famous for this battle.

finally took it from Han Fuyu's hands, and used so many troops to fight to the death with the Japanese army, how could others be allowed to get involved? Shandong has always been Tang Qiuli's primary consideration for expanding the next strategic space, and it is also the most important part of his entire northern strategy.

After solving the Japanese army in Xuzhou, and then he can solve the Japanese army in Wuxiang and restore the normal state of the Taihang Mountain base area, he quickly thought about the next combat direction in his mind, encircling and annihilating the mountain pass, and the troops in Dezhou must at least be transferred back to the Sulu Mobile Corps, plus Zhang Zizhong's Sulu Garrison Corps, Su Jingfeng's Yellow River Henan Garrison Corps, and the existing troops in the Taihang Mountains can be combined to make dumplings for hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

Thinking of Su Jingfeng, Tang Qiuli "chuckled" in his heart, and woke up from his contemplation, he was too engaged in thinking about the future battle situation, why was there no news of Su Jingfeng's troops?
