Age of Conquest Reborn

The question raised by Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, is almost nonsense. No matter from any perspective, there is no reason why the Kwantung Army troops should not implement the orders of the Far East Campaign Headquarters.

Not to mention the order of operations, the Kwantung Army is under the command of the Far East Campaign Headquarters. Even if we are now replenishing soldiers, weapons and equipment, and restoring our strength as soon as possible, we cannot do without Prince Zai Ren, a big man with hands and eyes as wide as the sky. The entire territory of Manchuria is originally the Kwantung Army.

defense zone, and the northeastern border was no exception. A new enemy force appeared, threatening the security of Manchuria. The Kwantung Army would be derelict in its duty if it did not send troops for targeted deployment.

The reason why General Nanjiro hesitated to express his position was that he was worried about the current strength of the Kwantung Army and divided his troops into two areas. In the future, he would face the Niangziguan Garrison Corps of the Independent Division in western Liaoning and the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division in the northeastern border area.

At this time, neither party can get a good deal!

Therefore, he was very annoyed by the chief of staff's questioning and asked coldly, "Matsuda-kun, do we have a reason not to implement it?"

Chief of Staff Matsuda was an honest man. He thought for a moment and replied honestly: "Commander-in-Chief, we have no reason not to carry out the orders of the Far East Campaign Headquarters!"

The topic ended here. The division of troops to the northeastern border area of ​​Manchuria was an indisputable fact. Just as Chief of Staff Matsuda was about to leave, he was stopped by General Nanjiro, "Wait a minute, Matsuda-kun, about this independence

How much does our intelligence department know about the Mongolian Field Corps outside the division and its commander Sun Zhenbang?"

Chief of Staff Matsuda smiled bitterly and replied: "Commander-in-Chief, we only learned about the basic situation of the Independent Division and its commander after receiving the enemy situation report from the Intelligence Headquarters of the Far East Campaign Headquarters. However,

The report from the Headquarters Intelligence Headquarters is very simple. All we know is that its commander is Sun Zhenbang, with the rank of major general, and that the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is a newly formed unit. In the combat sequence of the independent division, it is a second-rate unit, that's all!"

"What? - So simple. What's going on? How will I deploy the troops without knowing the basic situation of the enemy? Matsuda-kun, the Kwantung Army cannot rely solely on the fragmented information from the headquarters intelligence agency. By the way, our intelligence agency

What specific information do they have!" General Nanjiro said very dissatisfied.

It seems that the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army was knocked unconscious by the Soviets some time ago. Many situations in the Kwantung Army headquarters have changed. I don’t know much about them. Chief of Staff Matsuda had a bitter face full of helplessness. He said: "

Commander-in-Chief, don’t you know? - Since the establishment of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, an order has been issued that all military intelligence agencies under the jurisdiction of the Far East Campaign Headquarters will be under the direct command of the Far East Campaign Headquarters Intelligence Headquarters. Headquarters at all levels have no

They have no right to interfere with their daily work!”

"What? - Such a thing could happen?" General Nanjiro screamed and asked in disbelief.

Chief of Staff Yamada further explained: "Perhaps you were busy dealing with the Soviet attack and forgot about it. The affiliation of intelligence agencies at all levels changed. The Far East Campaign Headquarters issued a special order. The reason is that in order to strengthen the intelligence agency's

Work efficiency makes all intelligence systems of the empire's forces in the Far East form a whole, making it easier to share and exchange information. As for vertical command, the headquarters explains that it can more effectively perform the special functions of intelligence agencies!"

"This move is very clever! He is indeed a veteran who is good at playing power!" General Nanjiro said with infinite emotion. He could see through Prince Zairen's intention at a glance. The intelligence agency is the eyes and ears of each army, collecting and collecting information uniformly.

Under the management of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, Prince Zai Ren can provide the desired intelligence to different troops in a targeted and selective manner, so that all troops can unconsciously revolve around the Far East Campaign Headquarters. The Kwantung Army

No exception!

However, knowing that this is the case, what can General Nanjiro say? "Matsuda-kun, in accordance with the requirements of the headquarters, immediately select troops to form a border garrison and go to the northeastern border area to be responsible for monitoring the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division.

and security tasks, as well as the next batch of additional soldiers and weapons and equipment in the mainland, priority will be given to replenishing the various units of the Northeastern Border Guard. You will personally supervise and handle this matter!—Quickly!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda left in a hurry, and General Nanjiro exhaled slowly, "Sun Zhenbang? New opponent! - Among the generals under the command of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, he is unknown. I hope he is not a terrible opponent.

Come on!" he said to himself.

Major General Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division, did not know that he had been targeted by two heavyweight bosses of the Japanese army in the Far East. His name was constantly mentioned, which made the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Far East Campaign Headquarters

Prince Zain, Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army

The commander, General Nanjiro, was extremely vigilant. It seemed that he could not even think about not registering with the Japanese intelligence agency. Sun Zhenbang was busy making arrangements. He led a dozen brigade commanders to attend the military conference in Peiping, and the training and combat readiness of the troops.

Problems, very busy.

A few days later, a piece of top-secret intelligence arrived at the temporary headquarters of the Chita Independent Division. Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, the deputy division commander, saw the intelligence first and frowned, "Hey!" He smiled proudly, "Commander, look.

Look, Sun Zhenbang's regiment achieved its initial goal by alerting the enemy, and the Kwantung Army has moved!" He said, handing the information to Tang Qiuli.

The content of the intelligence was as concise as ever, "Headquarters, our station has learned that General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, has decided to transfer eight divisions from the existing forces to form a northeastern Manchuria border garrison.

In addition, in Japan, the first batch of 150,000 soldiers and weapons and equipment added to the Kwantung Army arrived in Northeast China two days ago. There will be subsequent additions. The specific situation is unknown and is being obtained!

"

Tang Qiuli's smile was as bright as the sun, "Brother Tiehan, you are really wonderful at striking the grass and frightening the snake. Eight divisions, Nanjiro is such a big hand. I'm afraid it won't be the three-thirds of the Kwantung Army's existing strength."

About a third of it will be used to deal with Sun Zhenbang!" He said with a smile.

Liu Tiehan said with a smile: "It's just a small trick, but I didn't expect the Japanese army's reaction to be so fierce. It's fine. If Sun Zhenbang's corps can hold back about one-third of the Kwantung Army's strength, it is a success. I have given Sun Zhenbang an order."

Order, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps should focus on attracting Japanese Kwantung Army troops to the northeastern border, and should not take any drastic actions. Division Commander, is it appropriate for me to handle this?"

Tang Qiuli spread his hands and said, "Brother Tiehan, you are the deputy division commander acting as the division commander. Why do you need to ask me, today is June 6th. Shouldn't you make arrangements for us to fly to Peking together?"

Liu Tiehan said quite relaxedly: "There are no arrangements. Ketian will stay. As long as he is here, I won't worry! But..."

Liu Tiehan said half of the words, but he seemed hesitant to speak. Tang Qiuli was surprised and asked: "Brother Tiehan, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly. Hesitation is not your brother's temperament!"

Liu Tiehan lowered his voice, approached Tang Qiuli and said: "Commander, the original intention of establishing the East Point Force was to use it as the main force to regain the entire Northeast. Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers up and down the East Point are also working towards this goal, but now

Look at the situation on the battlefield in the Far East

, the combat location of the East Point troops will be outside the Northeast. I am somewhat worried that the brigade commanders of the East Point, who are full of enthusiasm and bent on retaking the Northeast with their own hands, will be disappointed and have disagreements, which will affect subsequent operations.

enthusiasm and initiative?”

When Liu Tiehan said these words, his eyes flickered, as if he was deliberately avoiding Tang Qiuli's gaze. They had known each other for many years and treated each other with sincerity, from the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast, to the war-torn North China, to the verdant land of Southern Guangdong, all the way.

In the distant Indochina Peninsula, Liu Tiehan, who was more than ten years older, played more of a big brother and deputy role in front of Tang Qiuli, assuming half of the northern military for the independent division.

A powerful person, the well-deserved second person in the independent division, his status is especially higher than that of Tang Qiuli's cousin Tang Qiusheng. He has many opportunities to build up his personal strength to be on par with Tang Qiuli, but he has never been able to do so.

He firmly positioned himself to assist Tang Qiuli, and was willing to hide behind Tang Qiuli's dazzling halo without any complaints. For Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiuli respected and trusted Liu Tiehan from the bottom of his heart.

Having been close friends for many years, how could Tang Qiuli not understand the thoughts of this old brother? It is not so much the brigade commanders of the East Point Army who are upset because they failed to regain the entire Northeast with their own hands, but it is better to say that it is this old brother himself.

, he himself felt the most uncomfortable and unwilling.

Of course, Tang Qiuli would not tell the truth. Everyone has their own self-esteem. He looked at Liu Tiehan, smiled gently, and said: "Brother Tiehan, regarding this matter, we are formulating a campaign plan for the Far East, Northeast and even the Korean Peninsula.

At that time, I also carefully considered it. From my original intention, I still believe that the East Point Force is the best choice to regain the Northeast. However, you have also seen that the situation in the Far East is constantly changing. Among them

There are many uncertain factors, which ultimately led to the current situation..."

Before Tang Qiuli could finish speaking, Liu Tiehan took over the topic and said: "That is, the current position of the East Point is the result of adjustments at any time according to the changes in the battle situation. Division Commander, don't worry, some brigade commanders of the East Point

I will be responsible for the work, and I will ensure that there will be no mistakes. It is not the same as beating up the little devils there. Who has stipulated that the little devils in the Northeast should be attacked from the east? That’s what I said, to remind you,

It seems that you are worrying too much!”

Tang Qiuli smiled slyly, with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Brother Tiehan, who stipulated that the East Point troops have no chance to participate in the campaign to recapture the Northeast?"
