Age of Conquest Reborn

Liu Tiehan's words were very meaningful. At first, when he said that he understood the true intention of the division commander, he was still confused. When the division commander said that the directly affiliated corps was following the North China Field Corps, Liu Tiehan suddenly became enlightened.

Liu Tiehan understood Tang Qiuli's intention. After the war began, it was impossible to hide the numbers of all the offensive units of the independent division, including their strength and strength, from the Japanese. Instead of announcing the tasks of the directly affiliated corps, the division commander's intention was to

The directly affiliated corps is hidden in the combat sequence of the North China Field Corps.

In this way, you can have both sides and freely choose the direction of attack. Going north, you can directly capture the Japanese Kwantung Army's northeastern border garrison in Manchuria, and form a front-to-back pincer attack with Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps. The strength of the Kwantung Army's northeastern border garrison is even greater.

Several times more, coupled with the superior firepower, it will not be a problem to annihilate the enemy in the northeastern border area. Similarly, the war in this direction will not burn into the northeastern territory.

If it goes south, it can penetrate directly into the side of the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area. It will also be combined with Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison to form a front and rear pincer attack on the main force of the Kwantung Army. The battlefield is also outside the northeastern interior.

Such a powerful field corps, no matter in which direction it is deployed, will be a fatal blow to the Kwantung Army troops in any direction. The division commander's intention is to use the directly affiliated corps as a surprise force.

"The core purpose of the division commander is still not to let the war burn in the Northeast inland, including ordering Korean Railway's marines to change the direction of attack after landing on the Liaodong Peninsula and turn towards the China-North Korea border. Block the Japanese and Korean garrison troops and defeat them in the Northeast.

The plan to retreat within the country is also based on this consideration!" Liu Tiehan thought to himself. However, he still did not agree with Tang Qiuli's intentions.

However, Liu Tiehan understood Tang Qiuli's thoughts, that is, he was not satisfied with him and still couldn't let go. However, as an old comrade and deputy for many years, he had to consider this issue from the perspective of a division commander.

"Brother Tiehan, you actually know Qiu Li's intention, please help Qiu Li decide, in which direction can such a strange army be used for the best effect?" While Liu Tiehan was thinking, Tang Qiuli asked sincerely.

Tang Qiuli was sincerely asking for advice, but he was also undecided. The direct-affiliated corps was hidden within the North China Field Corps. It was a hidden arrow. No matter which direction it was used, it would have miraculous effects. It could also attack the Kwantung Army border garrison from the north or attack from the south.

The main force of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area was also good, so it was difficult for him to make a decision for the moment, which was why he did not announce the specific tasks of the directly affiliated corps.

Liu Tiehan glanced at Tang Qiuli, and the smile in his eyes disappeared for a moment, "Sir, there are too many targets to choose from, which is also a problem. I'm afraid, in the mind of the division commander, the southern attack contact area

The idea of ​​​​the main force of the Kwantung Army has the upper hand, right? - In one battle, the main force of the Kwantung Army will be wiped out outside the hinterland of Northeast China!" he joked.

"Those who know me are Brother Tiehan!" Tang Qiuli nodded and sighed, "To be honest with Brother Tiehan, I do prefer to use the direct-affiliated corps to attack the main force of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning region. However, still

I feel something is wrong, that’s why I haven’t been able to make a decision!”

When Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan were talking, no one, including Tang Qiuquan, interrupted. On the one hand, this was an exchange between the chief and deputy commanders of the independent division. On the other hand, they were all thinking about what Tang Qiuli had just said.

, no one thought that the division commander would hide such a trump card in this huge battle.

Liu Tiehan said seriously: "Commander, the main force of the Kwantung Army directly under the corps to attack the western Liaoning area in the south seems to have the greatest results, but I think it is inappropriate. The main force of the Kwantung Army is gathered in the western Liaoning area. Although our army uses two corps, one after another

A pincer attack, but the battle cannot be ended in a short time, and will inevitably form a long-term encirclement war. If the Kwantung Army sticks to its original position, our army's casualties will inevitably increase!"

"This is one of them. Also, if the Kwantung Army feels that there is a dangerous situation of being attacked from both front and rear, will it move closer to the Liaodong Peninsula? This will add greater difficulties to Han Tie's Marine Corps, or will the Kwantung Army

When the army directly under the corps and the Niangziguan garrison encircled it, before it was formed, they simply abandoned the western Liaoning area and retreated to the Korean Peninsula. What will we do then?"

"Whether we adjust our deployment or follow up and pursue, both will disrupt our battle plan, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Tang Qiuli was silent. Although he thought that the possibility of the several bad situations that Liu Tiehan had just imagined was unlikely, Liu Tiehan was very precise. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly and any situation was possible. This might be because he was indecisive.

The reason?

"Brother Tiehan, let's continue. Since attacking the main force of the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning region from the south is not the best plan, how about heading north with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to jointly attack the Kwantung Army's border garrison?" Tang Qiuli followed Liu Tiehan's train of thought.

After thinking about it, in his heart, he was already inclined to go north, but he still wanted to hear Liu Tiehan's opinion.

Liu Tiehan smiled and said: "Although the Kwantung Army's border garrison has not many troops and seems to have little success, commander, look at the current position of Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps!" Liu Tiehan stood up and walked to the map.

forward.

"This position may be the least sharp among the attacking forces in all directions. Moreover, it is mainly used to attract the attention of the Kwantung Army. At most, it can be regarded as a diversionary direction. There is no way to win the battle. Therefore, Sun Zhenbang

That's why his face is so ugly. I saw clearly on the stage that none of his subordinates looked like brigade commanders, muttering!" Liu Tiehan shook his head repeatedly as he spoke.

Tang Qiuli also smiled. In fact, the expressions of the brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps could not escape his eyes, but he understood that when so many participating troops had offensive missions, only the foreign troops could

The Mongolian Field Corps, as a bystander, was a huge blow to Sun Zhenbang and his brigade commanders who were eager to show off their skills on the battlefield and become a first-class field regiment.

Liu Tiehan continued: "However, if you look at the topographic map of the entire Northeast region, you will find that the location of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is really the best. Attacking from the southeast can cover the entire Northeast.

Divided into two, the front points directly towards the Sea of ​​Japan. Therefore, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can serve as the middle route. Going north, it can join forces with the East Point Force to attack the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force. Going south, it can work with the Marine Corps to block the Korean Peninsula.

All passages to the northeast."

"You can also work with the North China Field Corps to outflank the Japanese Kwantung Army's retreat. Don't forget that in the direction of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' attack, there are Xinjing, the capital of the puppet Manchukuo State, and Harbin, the largest city in Northern Manchuria. No matter where

A goal is beyond the reach of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro! - To increase troops or not? To rescue or not to rescue? The difficult problem is left to the Japanese!"

"If the Kwantung Army is divided into reinforcements, it will be exactly what it wants. The battle situation in the western Liaoning Peninsula will be more conducive to our army. If it is ignored, then let Sun Zhenbang stab it to the end and penetrate into the Sea of ​​Japan! Divide the Northeast into two! Therefore, Sun Zhenbang's army seems to be

Containment and passive response, but in fact, there is a hidden secret, and it will be a fatal blow if it moves!"

Having said this, Liu Tiehan smiled slightly and gave Tang Qiuli a meaningful look, "Commander, when you put the Outer Mongolia Field Corps in this position, you probably had this plan, right? It was another plan you arranged.

A sharp sword, so it is the best choice for the directly subordinate corps to go north and join forces with the Outer Mongolia Field Corps to attack the Kwantung Army border garrison as soon as possible!"

"Wonderful words! - Brother Tiehan made an analysis, peeled off the cocoon layer by layer, and cleared away the confusion in Qiu Li's heart. He made a decision at the moment. I am not as good as Brother Tiehan. It seems that the more suitable candidate for the position of teacher is not Brother Tiehan.

No one else!" Tang Qiuli applauded and admired Liu Tiehan's clear thinking.

Liu Tiehan was horrified, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Yes, yes! Don't do this again. You have left the military and government affairs in the south to Qiu Sheng. What's the matter? There are all these big things in the north. Do you still want to do this?"

Why don't you leave it to me? - Then why are you going? Don't even think about hiding from peace! I still have to deal with those brigade commanders in East Point!"

Several people laughed, and the cheerful air filled every inch of the room. Tang Qiuli patted his head and said, "Am I still hiding in peace? At this time, are you afraid that Sun Zhenbang will come to your door?"

"Reporting to the division commander, Commander Sun of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is asking for an audience!" Outside the door, the loud report of the special guards came. Several people looked at each other and said that Cao Cao was about to arrive. Could it be that the division commander is possessed by a half-fairy and can tell fortunes?

Tang Qiuli signaled, and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said: "Commander Sun, please come in!"

As soon as the door opened, most of Sun Zhenbang walked in. He probably didn't expect there to be so many people in the room. He was a little stunned and saluted the two division commanders very much. The others gestured with their eyes and said hello, "Sir, Commander,

It just so happened that Deputy Commander Liu was also here. Zhenbang came here this time because he had something to say. Regarding the combat mission assigned to the Outer Mongolia Field Corps by the division commander, Zhenbang had opinions..." Sun Zhenbang is also a straightforward person.

, get straight to the point and state your purpose.

Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop Sun Zhenbang and said: "Zhenbang, sit down first. You still can't calm down. I know why you came to me. So, let Deputy Master Liu explain it to you carefully.

Why was the Outer Mongolia Field Corps deployed in that position to shoulder the task of containing the Japanese Kwantung Army?"

Liu Tiehan was not polite. In front of the map, he elaborated on what he just said. Sun Zhenbang's eyes became brighter and brighter. When Liu Tiehan finished speaking, he slapped his thigh suddenly, "Commander, deputy commander, I understand."

,Farewell!" After saying that, he stood up and left.

"Eh!" Liu Tiehan was surprised, "Sun Zhenbang, you are such a hot-tempered person, are you going to leave soon after you arrive?"

Sun Zhenbang smiled bitterly and said with some embarrassment: "I have to go back for a meeting quickly, otherwise, the brigade commanders of the Corps will definitely not be able to sleep tonight! I won't be able to live in peace either!"
