Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 130 Sudden Change

When Tang Qiuli returned to the Japs garrison headquarters in the city, it was already close to noon.

The first thing I saw was a piece of intelligence from a special operations unit monitoring the Japanese encirclement troops in the western region of South Manchuria. The intelligence showed that the Japanese had completed a comprehensive encirclement three days ago, and when the search for my team failed, they were stranded.

In the original encircled area.

A widespread search was launched with the intention of finding traces of our team. This morning, the Japanese troops suddenly left the stranded area and gathered in the Jilin area. It seems that there is an important next step. We will report back after their specific direction is detected.

After the troops captured Anton, they had achieved the goal of deploying Japanese mobile forces, and the first phase of the campaign was progressing smoothly.

According to the original plan, the troops should quickly evacuate the Andong area to avoid being oppressed by the Japanese from three directions. This area is not suitable for dealing with the Japanese who have an absolute advantage in strength.

Now the situation has undergone some changes, adding to the uncertain factor of the Japanese garrison in Korea. In addition, Andong is a port city, which contains more strategic materials, various mechanical equipment, etc. than any other city captured in the past.

According to Tang Qiuli's usual style, how could he give up this piece of fat? Fortunately, the troops had bought themselves at least three days and nights.

According to the direction in which the Japs troops were gathering, it was obvious that the Japs wanted to take a train in Jilin, take advantage of the speed of railway transportation, go to Fengtian via Xinjing and Siping, and attack from the northeast and west of An.

In an attempt to compress our troops into a narrow area backed by the Yellow Sea and then annihilate them, Tang Qiuli secretly sneered. It would take three to five days to assemble more than 200,000 troops. Including the transportation time on the road, there would be no more than five to seven days.

, the Japanese can’t reach Fengtian.

Moreover, so far, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army is still convinced that those who attack Anton are the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment. Otherwise, such a large-scale deployment of troops for a long-distance attack will not be made.

The Japanese have been wandering around the Daxinganling Mountains for more than 20 days. They are exhausted and sleepy, and now they have to make a long-distance attack. Even an iron man cannot bear it. This is also a taboo for military strategists.

It seems that the Japanese commander hates himself deeply and wants to get rid of him quickly. Well, I will use this time difference to turn Anton into an empty city, and also give the Japanese Korean garrison a good beating.

He immediately put all his energy into the economic and material aspects. Anton was really rich, and it was much richer than the mountain city of Tonghua. In terms of Japanese business, there were so many companies, including banks, factories, etc.

He arranged for the special operations detachment and the cavalry detachment to be responsible for this matter, and said to Qiuquan and Liu Chun: "Both detachment captains know the practice of the Blood Hand Regiment, and they use the fastest speed to get all the necessary equipment in the shortest time."

Dismantling and moving materials, machinery and equipment, etc.

Both of them are veterans, and this is not their first time doing this job. They immediately fell into the role and acted as professional robbers in an orderly manner.

When three o'clock came in the afternoon, he still didn't hear the sound of gunfire from the Yalu River. He asked Liu Tiehan on the walkie-talkie. Liu Tiehan said: "So far, the troops have not found any Japanese movements. The other side of the Yalu River is very calm."

."

This left Tang Qiuli confused. What was this little Jaap planning? According to common sense, the Japs' reinforcements should be at the Yalu River at this moment. Why hasn't there been any movement yet?

It's a pity that there is no intelligence unit of the Blood Hands on the other side of the border in North Korea. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to rack my brains here to figure out the little devil's movements.

Maybe the Japs were gathering, or there was a problem during transportation? After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a conclusion, so he had to inform Liu Tiehan of his guess and reminded him to pay close attention to the Japs' movements.

In fact, Liu Tiehan was also puzzled. His arm holding the telescope was sore, but across the river in North Korea, not a single soul could be seen. The small town on the other side was as quiet as if he was asleep.

He thought further than Tang Qiuli. Soldiers from the two detachments each took four trucks and carried walkie-talkies. They patrolled in opposite directions along the river embankment and watched the Japanese within a radius of 50 kilometers along the river.

Whether to cross the river at other locations.

Tang Qiuli led the guards and checked the collected materials and equipment from place to place. At several concentration points, they were all piled up like hills. It was too much, and he immediately felt a headache. Gold and oceans were easy to handle, but the key was materials.

There are too many equipment and equipment, and transportation is a big problem.

With these things, the troops will not have to fight. Whether they can outrun the Japs is a matter of doubt! It is a pity to burn or throw them away, and it is impossible to transport them back to the base. When the troops came, they walked through the mountains and plains, and there were more than two hundred thousand people on them.

Devil, that's a joke!

Back at the Japs headquarters, he stared at the large map on the wall. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. Yes, take the sea route, load the goods from Anton port, unload the goods in Tianjin, and then transport them to the Taihang Mountains in Shanxi via Hebei.

district.

Before the "July 7th" Incident breaks out, we should stock up on supplies and equipment. Anyway, the battlefield that the army will explore next will play a big role in the North China region in the future.

He called Shan Hu, gathered the guards, and took a car to the port. He wanted to arrange a ship. The port was already controlled by a squadron of a team and a detachment of a special detachment.

The port is not close to the city. On the way, I suddenly heard the muffled thunder-like sound of artillery. This was definitely the sound of large-caliber artillery firing. Are the Japanese reinforcements coming up? Is there a fight on the riverside?

Suddenly, Tang Qiuli's whole body was shaken, and his face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood in his body had been drained, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Shan Hu and Battle beside him looked at him in surprise, what is happening to the commander?

?

The sound of cannons came not from the Yalu River, but from the direction of the port.

Tang Qiuli thought of only one possibility. He jumped into the driver's seat, grabbed the steering wheel, and in the soldier's baffled eyes, stepped on the accelerator, and the truck sped towards the port like a frightened horse.

.

Many things in the world are full of chance, and such chance will definitely change the direction of history and cause different results.

The commander of the Anton garrison did send a distress telegram to the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, claiming that he was attacked by the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment, and that the offensive was extremely fierce, and the opponent used a large number of artillery.

Muto Nobuyoshi did not believe that the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment was in Anton, so what was surrounding his 200,000-strong army, the air?

When the encircling troops gained nothing, and the Anton defenders lost contact, the last telegram was to destroy them all.

He believed it. At this moment, Muto Nobuyoshi felt like a cat with a fish tied to its tail. He was turning around and biting it, but he couldn't reach it, but the delicious food was stimulating his taste buds all the time.

Then, the report of my nephew who lost his army was also false. The commander of the Blood Hand Regiment, Blood Hand Qiuli, was not killed. Otherwise, without the leader, it would be impossible to suddenly appear in the distant Anton.

.

Muto Nobuyoshi felt that his IQ had been insulted. He changed his previous gentle and elegant image and became furious. He smashed a pair of precious Chinese Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vases that he had collected in the office to pieces and gave them to his attendants.

A few slaps.

He stared at the map for a while and found that this time, the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment was in an unfavorable area. He immediately ordered the mobile troops in the originally encircled area to immediately assemble at Jilin Railway Station and transport them to Anhui via railway in batches.

In the eastern periphery, he wants to make dumplings made of bloody hands.

At the same time, he coordinated with the supreme commander of the North Korean garrison and requested that troops be sent to reinforce Anton. Unfortunately, the Japanese troops in North Korea, because they were scattered in various places, encountered the same difficulties as the Japanese troops in the Daxinganling forest area, that is, it took longer to assemble.

Reinforcement was like putting out a fire, and Muto Nobuyoshi was almost going crazy. Just then the combat staff sent a notice that two warships of the Japanese Navy were escorting three troop transports passing by the sea near Andong.

Muto Nobuyoshi felt like he had found a treasure, and he could not care about his face. As we all know, the relationship between the Japanese Navy and Army has always been bad. This is a fundamental conflict in the direction of strategic development. They would fight each other when they met. He immediately contacted the Japanese Fleet Commander.

Officer, request reinforcements from nearby Anton,

He immediately contacted the commander of the Japanese Navy Fleet and asked for nearby reinforcements to Anton. Fortunately, the fleet commander readily agreed. In this way, the Japanese Navy warships passing near China's North Yellow Sea were the first to arrive in the waters of Anton.

When Tang Qiuli rushed to the dock, the dock had been blown into a sea of ​​flames by large-caliber naval guns from the Japanese warships.

Through the whizzing shrapnel, Tang Qiuli found the troops stationed here. The commanders of the two troops saw the commander suddenly appearing in this situation. It was like seeing a savior. The troops had never seen him before.

Such a powerful cannon.

Being caught off guard, dozens of soldiers were injured or killed. Fortunately, they were clever and took the soldiers to hide in the underground warehouse of the dock, thus avoiding further casualties.

Looking at the soldiers in the warehouse, their faces were a little pale, and they seemed to have a sense of fear. Also, the power of large-caliber naval guns was amazing. One shell weighed hundreds of kilograms. In the warehouse, every time a shell exploded,

It felt like the ground was shaking.

Tang Qiuli is not worried about this. It won't matter if the Japanese have warships. The warships can't go ashore, right? What he is worried about is that the Japanese troops will land. Coupled with the unclear factor of the North Korean garrison, the troops will be in danger.

.

The bombardment by the Japanese warships gradually became sparse. Tang Qiuli got out of the underground warehouse and braved the thick smoke and billowing fire. Regardless of the huge explosions that exploded all around, he climbed to a high place and used a telescope to observe the movements on the sea.

The soldiers of the Guard formed a human wall around him.

On the sea, the huge light gray figures of the two warships clearly appeared in the lens, and the fire from the muzzles could be seen from time to time.

This is a Japanese Fubuki-class destroyer with a displacement of 2,000 tons and four main guns at the front and rear. It is currently the main ship of the Japanese Navy and was built between 1928 and 1932.
