Age of Conquest Reborn

--go-->After discussing all the details, the sky was getting brighter. Liu Xinlan opened the curtains of the conference room and opened the window. A fresh air, with the coolness of November in southern Myanmar, poured in.

Come, blow away the smoke that fills the room, refreshing your mind and clearing your mind.

After finding a solution to the difficult problem, everyone felt relaxed and chatted and laughed casually. Tang Qiuli stretched himself comfortably, looked at his watch, and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, after you go back,

You can still take a nap, I'll take it

I'm on duty." After saying that, he said to the others: "It's the same for you guys. You've been up for most of the night. You should go back and rest. It's all because of this guy Ito. Otherwise, Xinlan and I won't even be on duty.

Isn’t it beautiful to talk about love with children and keep both public and private affairs in mind?”

Everyone burst into laughter. Liu Xinlan blushed with embarrassment and glared at him fiercely. Judging from his posture, if no one else was present, she would definitely rush over and use her dragon claw hand on Tang Qiuli, "What a joke is this man?"

It's all open, especially in front of so many senior generals, really," Liu Xinlan is really not used to it.

Tang Qiusheng looked at his watch, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, sir, in more than two hours, your duty will be completed. Why don't you and Secretary Liu go to rest, so I don't have to run over here again," Tang Qiu Sheng said.

Li pretended to be surprised and said: "That's okay? I'm not leaving my post without permission! Secretary Liu, are we going back home?" Everyone burst out laughing again, and the air of joy was flowing in the room.

While joking and joking, Tang Qiuli was really sleepy. He winked at Liu Xinlan. Liu Xinlan had already obediently picked up his windbreaker and followed him with her head on her head, just like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. Tang Qiuli

I loved seeing Liu Xinlan's shy look when I was away. I thought about how Liu Xinlan would look very coquettish after I went back. Needless to say, the charming scenery in it made me feel secretly happy.

Just as he was about to leave, Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division, hurriedly walked in and said, "Report to the division commander. The Taiwan Intelligence Station of the Intelligence Division has an urgent telegram." Tang Qiuli took a look at the telegram and couldn't help but frowned and said: "There is no way, this Ito

Ah, they won’t let us calm down. Let’s go on. Don’t let anyone go back. Let’s continue the meeting. Xinlan, tell the cooking team to prepare today’s breakfast. I’ll entertain all the commanders.”

Liu Xinlan agreed, turned around and went out. Everyone who was about to disperse returned to their seats. Yu Deshui also found a seat to sit down. They all looked at Tang Qiuli. A telegram that can make the division commander frown is not a trivial matter.

Son, could it be that the Japanese army has undergone new changes?

The information in Tang Qiuli's hand was marked with three red "a"s, which represented the highest level of top secret information. It was both within his expectation and beyond his expectation. "Headquarters, the Taiwan Intelligence Station learned that yesterday afternoon,

All ports in southern Taiwan were blocked by Japanese military police, and all local Taiwanese employees were ordered to go home and were taken over by Japanese employees."

"As of 4:20 p.m., a large number of Japanese warships entered various ports. It has been confirmed by our intelligence personnel many times that they are the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, and its flagship "Asahi" is currently anchored in Kaohsiung Port for replenishment.

, In addition, a large number of civilian ships entered the port to supply supplies. Due to the tight blockade by the Japanese military police, they were unable to enter to detect the specific situation. They are suspected to be Japanese troop transport ships. Detailed information is being collected and detected."

The Japanese army reinforced the Yangon battlefield. This was expected by Tang Qiuli. He also gave the Japanese such an opportunity. Tang Qiuli would not worry about the increase in Japanese army troops, even if there were two or three hundred thousand people.

The troops and firepower of the ** Division outside Yangon are still in a superior position. Moreover, with so many troops, transporting ships is an unsolvable problem.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli judged that the additional troops of the Japanese army would not exceed 5 first-class divisions and 150,000 people. However, the arrival of the third fleet at the same time surprised him. If it was to escort the troop transport, more than ten warships

That’s it. There is no need for the Third Fleet to dispatch all its troops. Furthermore, the flagship of Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, Commander of the Japanese Navy’s Third Fleet, also appeared in Kaohsiung Port at the same time. This is extraordinary.

The key is, what is the purpose of the Japanese military dispatching the Third Fleet to rush to the Yangon battlefield? This Third Fleet is the main fleet in the Japanese Navy sequence, with three aircraft carriers "Yunhui, Yunxiang, and Yunteng", carrier-based aircraft

There were approximately more than 190 aircraft, and in addition, there were more than 70 warships of different sizes. It was also one of the main fleets among the world's navies at that time.

After reading the information, Tang Qiusheng thought for a moment and said, "The commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, Lieutenant General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, is an old acquaintance. We have fought against each other before, and he is very arrogant." Chang Feng also nodded.

Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng were no strangers to Hasegawa Kiyoshi. During the Second Battle of Songhu, Tang Qiusheng, then commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, and Chief of Staff Chang Feng led the entire main field brigade of the Corps,

Participating in the Battle of Songhu, during the counterattack against the landing battle of Matsui Iwane, the Japanese dispatched force in Shanghai, it was the Third Fleet commanded by Kiyoshi Hasegawa who provided artillery support to the Japanese landing force.

Under the bombardment of hundreds of Japanese large-caliber naval guns, the Shanghai garrison position of the Central Army was a sea of ​​fire and was almost razed to the ground. The soldiers were bloody and bloody, and the casualties were heavy. The two people still vividly remembered the attack on the Japanese fleet.

The strong firepower and air raids by carrier-based aircraft left an indelible impression. At that time, the Eighty-seventh and Eighty-ninth Divisions of the Central Army, which were fully equipped with all German weapons and equipment, stepped down from their positions with less than one-sixth of their full strength.

one.

The Second Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps also suffered a slight loss at the hands of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet. However, the casualties were much smaller than those of the Central Army. After that, at the Wusongkou Fort, the regiment's air defense brigade was even more direct

with the fleet

At the cost of hundreds of casualties and the destruction of more than ten shore batteries, the battle resulted in the sinking of one Japanese medium-sized warship and the damage of two, which stopped Matsui Iwane's plan to land at the Wusongkou Fort outside the Yangtze River estuary.

.

The information was circulated among several corps commanders. In addition to Tang Qiusheng briefly introducing the situation of the Third Fleet, the other corps commanders were dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of the Third Fleet.

They are familiar with each other, so there is no way to comment on them. Furthermore, they are all masters of commanding land battles. For opponents coming from the sea, they suddenly don’t know how to deal with them!

Tang Qiuli looked at Colonel Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department, and asked: "Director Yu, is there any follow-up information coming from the Taiwan Intelligence Station?" Yu Deshui shook his head and replied: "Commander, not yet.

However, I have already issued an order, ordering the Taiwan Intelligence Station to find out the number, number, equipment, commander's name, etc. of the Japanese reinforcements at any cost, as well as the detailed information of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, which will be released later.

By that time, there should be information coming."

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Director Yu, immediately ordered the Taiwan Intelligence Station to stop collecting information on Japanese reinforcements. In doing so, the danger faced by the intelligence station agents was too great. Moreover, this intelligence has clearly told

We have the information we should know, so there is no need to take risks anymore.”

Yu Deshui was puzzled as to why the division commander suddenly stopped. Strictly speaking, this intelligence was just an information with ambiguous content and little value. If Yu Deshui were asked to evaluate the level of this intelligence, I am afraid that two people in a row would

"a" doesn't even count. At the very least, the details of the infantry reinforcements from the Japanese army have not yet been clarified.

The reason why the three "a"s at the highest level are marked is because the division commander has been asking about this situation in the past few days. He explained: "Division Commander, this is the responsibility of our intelligence department. We must provide the commander with information for decision-making.

information, otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty on our part.”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "De Shui, you agents from the Intelligence Department have already done this. It doesn't matter how many Japanese infantry come, which officer is commanding, how many artillery pieces, or how many tanks there are. I can tell you

, don’t reject anyone who comes, the more the merrier, why?

Besides, we already know that Hasegawa Kiyoshi is coming. This is enough. There is no need to take any more risks. Go ahead and execute the order. Also, in my name, I would like to commend all the personnel of the Taiwan Intelligence Station. Specific material rewards are proposed by you.

It’s a standard, I’ll just sign it.”

Yu Deshui solemnly saluted the military salute, turned around and left. No one noticed. When Yu Deshui left the house, he quietly wiped the corners of his eyes and choked up his throat. He was touched. The division commander understood the difficulty and difficulty of doing intelligence work.

Due to the danger, agents who are not willing to lurk in the wolf's den are not willing to take risks. This is to protect the agents. Being under such a commander is a blessing for all the staff of the Intelligence Division, including myself.

Tang Qiuli saw that the commanders of several corps were thinking silently. He stood up and walked to the large military map of Indochina. He opened the cloth with a swish and pointed at the location of Yangon and said: "The Japanese army has increased its troops on the Yangon battlefield.

This is to be expected, the Japanese army

We don't have to worry about the infantry. We can eat as much as they want, and we can eat it without any effort, because the big net we have opened is just waiting for the fish to take the bait, and we can surround the spot for reinforcements. Are we afraid that there will be more? We

You have such a good set of teeth! You are not afraid to hold on!"

Everyone laughed, yes, with the strength of the four main corps of the ** Division on the battlefield in Yangon, even if the little devils use all the strength of the country, they can still fight, and they have been slow to launch a general attack on Yangon, and they are not encircling Yangon.

, isn’t it just waiting for reinforcements from the Japanese army? This is also the established battle plan, to destroy all hopes of Ito and force Ito to withdraw from Yangon.

The atmosphere has become more relaxed, right? You are afraid that the Japanese warships cannot come to land, right? We are not fighting naval battles or land battles with the Japanese soldiers from the Northeast to Burma. In a few years, thousands of ships will be destroyed.

Did the little devil ever take advantage of him in the battle? Didn't he get beaten to a pulp that time and lose his troops?

Liu Xinlan looked at Tang Qiuli, who was majestic, energetic and arrogant, and her heart was filled with waves. Where did this man's confidence come from? He seemed to have a magical charm that made people involuntarily fall in love with him.

Believe that if you follow him, you can conquer the world.

Tang Qiuli naturally did not know what Liu Xinlan was thinking at this moment. He continued: "The Japanese infantry can be ignored. Then, there is only one question left. What is the intention of Kiyoshi Hasegawa's third fleet to reinforce the Yangon battlefield?

What purpose?" --over-->
