Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 142: The strategy of conquering Mudanjiang in Eastern Manchuria

Tang Qiuli saw that everyone was listening attentively, and then said: "If the Japanese do not come for reinforcements and stick to their original position, then adopt the second plan, attack by force! Hit the superior troops and firepower and eliminate them point by point."

He criticized today's two attacks because some detachment leaders underestimated the enemy, were impatient, and did not put the lives of the soldiers first.

He warned everyone that as a commander, in every battle, casualties should be minimized. If that unit achieved great results, but it was achieved at the cost of the lives of soldiers, the headquarters would not only not commend it, but would instead

Severely punish the commander of this unit.

Several detachment leaders listened carefully and felt that they seemed to be talking about themselves. After comparing it, they did have some thoughts. They always felt that there was no one who would not die in a war.

Finally, he told all the participating commanders at all levels that the purpose of this East Manchu campaign was not to annihilate the Japs’ effective forces, but to destroy the Japs’ economic base.

Large mines and factories that cannot be moved must be completely blown up and destroyed so that the Japanese cannot rely on the resources of the Northeast to launch a new war. In short, this time we are fighting an economic war. You must keep this in mind.

a little.

Tang Qiuli did not tell everyone about the all-out war of aggression against China that the Japanese would launch next. It is estimated that no one would believe it if he told it, because this would happen two years later, and even in the whole of China at that time, no one would believe it.

Does anyone believe this judgment?

He could only do his best to hold back the Japanese in the Northeast and prevent the Japanese invasion from entering North China as scheduled on July 7, 1937.

I wonder if this little butterfly that traveled through history has the ability to change the direction of history, give the suffering Chinese nation more time to buffer and prepare, and even avoid this national disaster.

He can only do this. In the Northeast, the harder and harder he beats the Japanese, the greater the Japanese's losses. Only then can those fanatical invaders in the Tokyo base camp have some concerns and have to withdraw their efforts to North China and even the whole country.

China's sharp fangs turned to deal with the sudden emergence of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria, which it had already regarded as its heartland.

Tang Qiuli even thought that if the Japanese focused all their attention on him, even though the troops would be under great pressure, they might eventually follow the footsteps of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and he would most likely die on the battlefield, or even

It's worth spending all the troops.

He could not say these words to anyone, not even his dearest Xiaoling. The feeling of guarding a huge secret for the rest of his life was really weird.

After the meeting, all units went back to make careful preparations, and launched fire reconnaissance on the enemy in front of them to understand the enemy's defense situation and firepower density.

The current combat plan is to attack from all four directions, that is, the four directions are the main directions of attack, and use the advantageous conditions of the troops' superior strength and superior firepower to thin the Japanese defensive forces and minimize the casualties of the troops.

Tang Qiuli arrived at the offensive position of the second detachment. He went directly to the middle of the soldiers without alerting Su Jingfeng.

The position of the second detachment was close to the Mudan River, where the water inlets of the two defensive trenches were located. A group of soldiers were discussing how to cross the two trenches while trying to avoid being killed by Japanese firepower.

Building a bridge is one way, but when crossing the bridge, the troops are too dense. If the Japs guard there with a light machine gun, everyone will be dead. The detachment leader said that it is very difficult to cross the trench and reduce casualties.

manage!

Tang Qiuli found it very interesting that Su Jingfeng, a fierce Zhang Fei, also learned to mobilize the wisdom of the soldiers and pool their wisdom, and made great progress.

Some soldiers proposed using bombs to blow up the trenches. Immediately some people doubted the appropriate number of bombs to release and the route to send the bombs. They were all within the enemy's fire control range. Everyone discussed them and the scene was very lively.

Tang Qiuli liked this atmosphere very much. Even the soldiers learned to use their brains. How could such an army not win the battle?

A young soldier caught his attention. While other soldiers were speaking enthusiastically, he stared at his big, clever eyes and looked thoughtfully, his hands moving from time to time.

Throw sections of branches into the water and watch them float away.

Mumbling something in his mouth, as if he was calculating something, Tang Qiuli walked up to him and asked softly: "Are you calculating the flow rate of the water?" The soldier turned around and saw a man younger than him, looking at him with a smile.

Hold him.

He was obviously taken aback, who is this person? I don’t know him, how do I know what I’m thinking?

He nodded slightly hesitantly and asked, "You also know about the flow rate of water? I'm having some difficulties, which army are you talking about?" Tang Qiuli smiled and didn't answer, and the two of them just studied and calculated.

Their voices were louder, which attracted the attention of other soldiers. The veterans of the second detachment all knew the commander and hurriedly came over to salute: "Hello, commander!"

This soldier was stunned, what? This is Tang Qiuli, the supreme leader of the Blood Hand Regiment, the commander? That invincible figure in the legend, the idol in the hearts of all soldiers.

From the day I joined the army, my ears were filled with this man's name and achievements. I imagined him to be a burly, bearded, murderous, majestic man.

When I see him now, he looks like a handsome young man, very bookish, and younger than himself. Although I heard he is not very young, he is still very young, right?

He stood up in a hurry, slipped, and almost fell. Tang Qiuli grabbed his arm, and he quickly stood at attention: "Report to the commander, Chang Feng, a soldier from the second detachment, first detachment, and second detachment, is reporting to you!"

Tang Qiuli smiled brightly, which relieved Chang Feng's nervousness like a spring breeze. The commander was quite approachable, not as majestic and inaccessible as the legend said, he thought secretly.

Su Jingfeng rushed over after hearing the news and saw the commander chatting happily with a large group of soldiers. He was a little surprised when Tang Qiuli saw him and asked him to immediately notify the members of the headquarters and the cadres above the captain level of each detachment.

Come here for a meeting.

Chang Feng was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Qiuli. "In a moment, you will tell everyone your ideas and methods." Chang Feng was very surprised. They were all senior commanders. He was just an ordinary soldier who had just joined the army. His

In my heart, I became nervous and somewhat panicked.

Seeing the commander's bright eyes, full of encouragement and appreciation, his heart warmed up and he felt much calmer.

Soon, all the commanders attending the military meeting came, thinking that the commander had some new combat arrangements, and they were all surprised when they saw that a new soldier had been arranged to tell everyone about some good methods.

After listening to Chang Feng's words, everyone clapped their thighs and cheered. Why didn't I think of that?

Seeing that these usually arrogant commanders were impressed by an ordinary new soldier, Tang Qiuli laughed loudly. He said to Su Jingfeng: "I want this Chang Feng. He will be transferred to the headquarters staff office as combat staff officer immediately.

Just follow me."

Su Jingfeng was even happier than he was to be promoted. These are the soldiers under my old Su, and they are the pride of the second detachment. From now on, I will be able to brag about these old guys again!

Changfeng's method is very simple. He takes advantage of the flow characteristics of the water in the moat and builds a number of rafts. On each raft, place a hundred kilograms of potent alcohol and put it in at the water inlet. Place the rafts according to the flow rate of the water and the

In order, the fuses are shortened in sequence, which can ensure that the two moats are blasted to open several channels at the same time.

In this way, the casualties of soldiers are reduced and the suddenness of the attack is ensured. Although it is a simple method, without a keen mind, careful observation and accurate calculation, this method will not be thought of, especially the accurate calculation of water content.

If you don’t have a certain level of education, there will be no way!

This was also one of the important reasons why Tang Qiuli promoted him. Later he learned that Chang Feng was a second-year science and engineering student at Northeastern University. After the September 18th Incident, he was forced to drop out of school and stay at home.

I am always paying attention to the situation in the Northeast, and I am extremely worried and angry about the various atrocities committed by the Japanese in the Northeast.

It just so happened that when the main force of the Bloody Hands was waiting in hiding in East Manchuria to expand the army, he applied to join the army. He had seen reports about the Bloody Hands in newspapers before, which were criticized by the Japanese army and the Manchukuo media.

The bandit armed forces, which were called the greatest danger, aroused extremely strong interest.

Today, an accidental opportunity changed the fate of his life. Later, Chang Feng became the deputy chief of staff of the Blood Hand Regiment and became a core figure in the decision-making level of the army. Everything started from this ordinary afternoon, but the opportunity was left.

For those who are prepared.

As soon as it got dark, the attacking troops began to conduct small-scale harassment operations to detect the distribution of enemy firepower. The soldiers shouted and blew trumpets. The enemy's firepower was unknown, and they thought that the Bloody Hands were about to launch a large-scale attack.

, opened fire one after another.

In the night, on the Japs' positions, there were flashes of fire, and each bunker and bunker opened fire one after another, pouring bullets wildly towards the opposite side. The tracer bullets traced long trajectories, scurrying around like locusts, and the target was very obvious.

The artillery observers reported the coordinates of the Japs' firepower points to the artillery commander through the intercom. The Type 92 infantry guns and mortars determined the coordinates one after another, unaware that the Japs who had been put on the death list were still risking their lives.

shooting.

As soon as the enemy subsided, the soldiers fired a few shots and fired a few cannons, which caused the enemy to fire wildly. After several attempts, all the enemy's firepower points were exposed and they were exhausted. No matter how provocative the soldiers were, they stopped firing.

The battlefield fell silent. At midnight, huge and violent serial explosions resounded through the night sky. In the light of the fire, dirt flew. The two trenches that the Japanese regarded as barriers collapsed one after another, and many passages were blown out.

Subsequently, precise artillery fire struck the Japs on the position, and the artillery shells detonated the minefield. A series of explosions and explosions occurred one after another. The roaring mine fragments strangled every inch of space, and no living thing was able to survive.

Maybe survive in this steel death vortex.
