Age of Conquest Reborn

The three fronts and millions of Soviet troops completely withdrew from the Far East. The Japanese army, which originally aimed to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Far East Front, was forced to withdraw from the Far East battlefield in order to avoid being counterattacked by the two returning Soviet fronts and retreated to

In the Northeast, the Far East, where the Soviet Army, the Japanese Army, and the Independent Division troops gathered and competed with each other, suddenly became a blank area.

Tang Qiuli, commander of the Independent Division, places the next strategic focus on the Far East. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Independent Division troops are in an absolutely favorable situation. Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps is on standby in eastern Outer Mongolia.

Troops can leave the Far East at any time. On the line from Chita to Irkutsk, Liu Tiehan directs the troops eastward and can advance eastward at any time. The twelve brigades directly under the corps are also gathering in this direction.

According to statistics, the Independent Division has assembled three field corps with more than 1.4 million troops in the vicinity of the Far East, completely controlling and occupying the Far East without any difficulty. Zai Ren, Chief of General Staff of the Japanese Base Camp and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Campaign,

The prince did not have the courage to turn around and compete with the independent division for the Far East after months of hard fighting with the Soviet army and with his troops damaged.

However, Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division, was planning a major campaign to recapture the Northeast. The current situation in the Far East, which seemed to be easy to win without any bloodshed, was exactly his dilemma.

In Tang Qiuli's plan, the main battlefield against the Japanese army must not be placed in the Northeast. Not only was his hometown there, but also the most complete industrial system in China at that time, which was painstakingly run by Zhang Xueliang and his son.

The flames of war are ruthless. Once these infrastructures are destroyed, it will be very difficult to rebuild them in the future. Of course, if the war is fought in Japan, Tang Qiuli has no such scruples at all.

Therefore, during the conversation with Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiuli came up with several plans. The most effective and quick one was to order Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps to quickly advance eastward and cut off all channels for the Japanese army to return to the northeast.

However, this move was too risky, so it was difficult for him to make a decision.

Liu Tiehan listened very carefully. Of course he knew where the division commander's dilemma lay. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps had a strength of more than 400,000. It was divided into three groups. They blocked the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Army, and the Japanese Army.

The three battle groups of the North Korean garrison have a combined strength of more than 1.7 million troops. Not to mention, there are also troops to prevent the Japanese troops in the Northeast from attacking from behind.

If the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps go out to the Far East, they will be attacked from both sides. Even if the Japanese troops retreating south are blocked on the front line outside the northeastern border, facing the desperate breakout of more than 1.7 million Japanese troops, I am afraid that Sun Zhenbang's troops will fight to the end.

There are not many people left. Obviously, the division commander will not fight such a war of attrition.

Liu Tiehan's mind was rapidly analyzing the division commander's words. For a while, there was no better solution. Of course, his East Point troops could also advance eastward, but the disadvantages were equally obvious. The three battle groups of the Japanese army learned that

After the main force of the independent division was informed of its march into the Far East, Prince Zai Ren would not be so stupid as to wait to be encircled, and would retreat to the northeast before the troops arrived.

More than one million Japanese troops swarmed into the Northeast. The Northeast, which was originally empty of Japanese troops, immediately became a hard nut to crack. It not only increased the difficulty and pressure for the troops to regain the entire Northeast, but also violated the division commander's refusal to control the main battlefield.

The original intention of fighting in Northeast China!

Liu Tiehan frowned and thought hard, and Tang Qiuli added: "Or, give up the retreat of the Japanese troops to the south and intercept all the major campaign targets in the Far East, and order Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps to just send troops out of the Breya Mountains to intercept the Japanese

By dispatching troops to the Far East, at least one Japanese battle group can be left behind. However, the other two Japanese troops will inevitably return to the Northeast. The main battlefield in the future will still be in the Northeast. This is a situation that I try my best to avoid!"

"Brother Tiehan—Brother Tiehan! Why are you distracted?" Tang Qiuli stopped talking, only to find that Liu Tiehan was deep in thought. He didn't seem to hear what he said behind him, so he shouted.

"Ah - the teacher called me?" Liu Tiehan suddenly woke up and smiled sheepishly. Just now, an idea seemed to flash in his mind, and he vaguely grasped the key to the problem.

Tang Qiuli said: "Brother Tiehan was thinking just now. If you have any insights, you might as well tell him. Yuhe and Ketian, your two chiefs of staff are also here, let's discuss it together!" He called Zhao Yu and Yang Ketian

Two people.

Liu Tiehan grinned and said, "Sir, I have an immature idea, even if it's just a piece of cake!"

Liu Tiehan stood up and said: "Division Commander, your strategic intention is based on the main battlefield not being placed in the Northeast. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, can we conduct some kind of battle with the troops?"

This action made that bastard Zai Ren mistakenly believe that all our troops were used to guard against the Soviet troops retreating westward. It made him think that there was an opportunity in the Far East. Do you think the Japanese will turn around and seize the Far East?

area?"

Tang Qiuli stretched out his thumb and said: "Brother Tiehan, listening to you is better than ten years of reading. I also have this idea, but I can't make up my mind. Now, you also put forward this suggestion, well, next,

This article on the Far East focuses on how to make Zain turn around and return to the Far East!"

Now that Tang Qiuli had set the tone, the casual conversation turned into a small-scale military meeting. The two chiefs of staff, Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian, also joined in and kept putting forward additional opinions. Soon,

A preliminary plan was formed.

The specific content is that Liu Tiehan's East Point troops will not march eastward for the time being, but will send some troops to Outer Mongolia with great fanfare. Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps will continue to be on standby in eastern Outer Mongolia, with twelve brigades directly under the corps.

Hidden into the front line of Ulan-Ude and on standby, the most favorable condition for implementing this plan to lure the enemy is that the current Soviet troops have not yet left the Outer Mongolia region.

The small military meeting lasted until nightfall. The remaining detailed work was the matter of the two chiefs of staff, Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian. The two bosses, Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan, were also happy to have some time to explain.

After saying this, they walked out of the house side by side. In the western sky, the sunset gathered the last trace of red, and darkness enveloped Chita. The city lights were sparsely lit, making this important city in the Far East become increasingly desolate and desolate.

.

The city of Chita has gone through wars and has changed hands several times among the Soviet Army and the Independent Division. Most of the buildings in the city are in dilapidated condition. The only five-story building that is still intact is

After becoming the headquarters of Liu Tiehan's East Command troops, the two people walked out of the house and came to the open-air balcony on the fifth floor. They looked at the dim lights in the depths of the city and took a deep breath of the slightly moist evening breeze. Tang Qiuli suddenly

Sigh lightly.

Liu Tiehan next to him immediately opened his eyes alertly, "Commander, although we have made a plan to lure the enemy back north, it seems that you have not settled down. What are you worried about? Don't keep it in your hands, it's easier to say it!"

"He asked softly, with brotherly concern in his tone.

Tang Qiuli's eyes were always looking towards the northeast direction of Dusk Energy, and his tone was a little erratic, "Brother Tiehan, I'm worried that even if our plan to lure the enemy back north is successful, the effect may not be as good as we imagined.

With Zai Ren's cunning, will he be fooled? Also, if Zai Ren only sends one of his troops back to the Far East, for example, the Japanese Kwantung Army family, and the other Japanese troops still return to the Northeast, how should we respond?

"

"Brother Tiehan, I'm really scared, and even more worried. Northeast is Japan's largest overseas occupation area, and it has been managed for generations. It will definitely not be let go easily. As a result, large-scale battles will take place in Northeast

Within the territory, after several battles, the guns and artillery were blind, and our hometown was in ruins. The corpses of civilians were everywhere, displaced, and ten houses were empty. How can I feel so embarrassed, and how can I explain it to the elders in the Northeast?"

Liu Tiehan's tone suddenly became serious and he said: "Commander, this is not your style. The war is about to begin, and you are worried about gains and losses. I have never seen you as hesitant as you are now. What I want to say is that war is inherently cruel.

,even if

The battlefield is in our hometown. Those who fell under the gunfire are our relatives. It is also the land where we were born and raised. I am in the throes of rebirth. Is it because of this or that kind of worry that I am still afraid to be sure?

Is it time to regain the Northeast?”

"If this is the case, the 30 million people in Northeast China who have been occupied for more than ten years are extremely disappointed with us! How can they command a decisive battle without interference? Don't lock yourself in a misunderstanding of thinking.

, even if the Northeast is destroyed, we can still rebuild it in the future! Moreover, we can build it better than now! It can be regarded as a rebirth from the ashes! - I believe this!"

Tang Qiuli was horrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Liu Tiehan's words, like Huang Zhongda Lu, suddenly awakened his emotion of worrying about gains and losses. The so-called care will lead to chaos. Everything in his hometown in the northeast will remain in Tang Qiuli's beautiful life.

In his memory, he couldn't bear or want to let his hometown be shrouded in the smoke of war, so all plans were made around this idea.

In this way, it is bound to tie up one's hands and feet and imprison one's thinking. As Liu Tiehan said, "So what if the Northeast is destroyed? In the worst case, we can rebuild it!" Since war is unavoidable, then face it calmly.

You can't just not use troops against the Northeast just because you're afraid of destroying your hometown, right?

"Brother Tiehan, I woke up the dreamer with just one word. I am indeed worrying about gains and losses. I worry too much. Let's go back. The campaign plan needs to be significantly modified. Don't let Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian work in vain. Also, we

We need a lot of accurate intelligence support!" Tang Qiuli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
