Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli laughed and stretched out his thumb, "Huzi, you are still the best, but I feel something is wrong in two places. It seems that your kung fu has improved in the past few years!"

"Hmph, you can command the war, but if you can smell something wrong, I can!" Shan Hu snorted contentedly and said.

"Yu He, Yuan Jinghao, come here!" Tang Qiuli shouted, giving Shan Hu a look that looked down on the braggart. Shan Hu was so angry that he turned around and left. Zhao Yuhe and Yuan Jinghao came over.

"Commander, what are your orders?"

Tang Qiuli ordered: "Deploy the regiment's security office and guard troops, together with the local agencies of the investigation office, to carry out a large-scale search for the Kwantung Army spies in Kailu City and Tongliao City, but don't catch them all, there are a few fish that slipped through the net.

It’s best to make loud noises and light raindrops. This is what I want for this operation! By the way, you should talk to Shen Jun first and convey my thoughts to him. He is an expert in this kind of thing!"

Shortly after nightfall, when the ancient city of Kailu was still lit with lights, countless soldiers from the independent division suddenly appeared on the streets. They blocked all the streets and surrounded Kailu City. Sentries were posted at all four gates.

People are not allowed in

Then, they started searching street by street and door by door. Regarding the sudden change, the residents of Kailu City were initially panicked and panicked. The night sky of the ancient city was shrouded in a tense atmosphere!

But the soldiers of the Independent Division would never disturb the residents, and the knocking on the door would always be gentle. Even if some families had older girls, these young soldiers would not look sideways or wink. They would not look at the things in the residents' homes.

He even refused to do anything. Finally, he sincerely apologized to the host and told him that because Japanese spies had sneaked into Kailu City, the army was ordered to hunt down the spies and disturb the rest of the fellow villagers. I am very sorry!

The uneasy air hanging over the ancient city quickly spread into the night sky. Many residents even took the initiative to provide clues to the troops and lead the way. The Japanese spies who sneaked into Kailu City were like loaches in a drained pond.

, they were dug out one by one. Of course, if it was done intentionally, there were a few fish that slipped through the net and hid everywhere in fear.

The same scene was taking place in Tongliao City, after sending intelligence to the Kwantung Army Intelligence Headquarters. Lieutenant Tajima Kono, who was hiding in a hill covered with shrubs and dead grass more than ten kilometers away from Kailu City, and Liu Qi

The subordinates listened with trembling caution to the roar of people, the roar of truck motors, and the sporadic gunshots in Kailu City. They couldn't help but feel the cold wind running down their spines, and cold sweat flowed down their backs into their buttocks.

inside.

While others were sweating, his crotch was soaked with sweat. Tajima was thankful for his decision just now and did not return to Kailu City again. Instead, he felt that it was safer to hide outside the city. Otherwise, he would be a fish in that big net now.

At the mercy of others, the Intelligence Department agents who sneaked into Kailu City and Tongliao City this time are not on their own. Now it seems that other colleagues are probably in worse danger!

However, Tajima felt a little happy in his heart. Is this right? The North China Field Corps of the Independent Division moved to Kailu and Tongliao. It must be a military operation against the Kwantung Army. It did not try to keep the relevant information on troop mobilization to eliminate the enemy's possible

Isn't it unusual for an infiltrated agent to be too suspicious?

Thinking of what he had witnessed with his own eyes when two major general officers from the Independent Division entered Kailu City, Lieutenant Tajima became even more certain that this was a sign that the North China Field Corps was about to start a large-scale military operation. Before the attack, the interior should be cleared first.

Hidden danger, to prevent leakage of information, the Kwantung Army of the Imperial Japanese Empire often did this, but the method was much bloodier than that of the Chinese soldiers!

Tajima waved over the radio operator and ordered: "Kyosaki, send another piece of information to the headquarters immediately. Tonight, soldiers from the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division suddenly conducted a large-scale manhunt in Kailu City, aiming to eliminate us.

sneak into

From this, the agents in Lu City judged from their humble position that this may be an independent division unit, preparing for a large-scale military operation, and brought this to the attention of the headquarters. This information is extremely urgent. Please submit it to His Excellency General Nanjiro immediately!"

Tajima dictated the cable and felt that his thinking was particularly clear and he could see the essence of a problem from a superficial phenomenon. This is the basic quality that an imperial intelligence officer should have. It is not worth showing off. However, the intelligence he provided

, should be the only one. Judging from the chaotic situation in Kailu City, the other groups have not been withdrawn. Under the dragnet-like manhunt of the soldiers of the Independent Division, there must be more danger than danger.

This is the case in Kailu City, and Tongliao City is not immune. The same scene is also happening. Therefore, the information provided by his team should be unique and irreplaceable. When he thinks of this, Lieutenant Tajima feels hot and proud.

Being able to appear in front of General Nanjiro is the highest honor. Next, it’s time to have a smooth promotion path in the Kwantung Army Intelligence Headquarters, right?

In Kailu City, the headquarters of the North China Field Corps was still brightly lit even late at night. Colonel Tian Chengliang, chief of staff of the Corps, was reporting the situation to Tang Qiuli, "Division Commander, the investigation office stationed in Kailu City just called.

Reported a situation. The technical department detected that radio signals were active about 30 kilometers outside Kailu City. According to the order of the investigation department headquarters, no action was taken!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said to Yuan Jinghao: "Stop the grass and alert the snake! Yuan Jinghao, your family assets are probably in the hands of Nanjiro by now, right? - What is the result of the manhunt?" He asked Tian Chengliang again.

Tian Chengliang replied: "Commander, the gates of Tongliao and Kailu are closed tightly, and a large number of troops are dispatched to catch turtles in the jar. Where are the little devil's agents running? According to your order, let a few little ones escape without leaving a trace."

Miscellaneous fish, now, the operation is coming to an end, and the specific results are being tallied!"

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch, "Oh, it's already past three o'clock in the morning. Okay, we have finished all the plays we should perform. Let Nanjiro have a headache for the rest. By the way, Yuhe,

Order the Intelligence Department and Chutian's special operations detachment to closely monitor whether the Kwantung Army has made any major moves, especially against the North China Field Corps. I'm going to take a nap!" he ordered.

In Fengtian, a heavily guarded building in the northeast, where the headquarters of the Kwantung Army is located, it was already dawn. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, was not at all casual. On his desk, there was a piece of intelligence.

Major General Yoshino, the head of the General Headquarters Intelligence Headquarters, personally delivered it. In the office, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Kanto Army, was also present.

This intelligence from the Tajima special agent team outside Kailu City prevented General Nanjiro from sleeping peacefully. A field regiment of the Independent Division, with more than 300,000 troops, suddenly appeared on the front lines of Kailu and Tongliao in eastern Mongolia. General Nanjiro and

Don't feel surprised.

Ever since the three battle group troops affiliated to the Empire's Far East Campaign Headquarters suffered varying degrees of vitality during the bloody battle with the Soviets, General Nanjiro felt that the China Devil would definitely not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chances are that the next target is Manchuria. On this point, Prince Zai Ren, commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, agrees with him.

The biggest difference between General Nanjiro and Prince Zain is that General Nanjiro believes that in terms of the empire's strategic territory and interests, the value of Manchuria far exceeds that of the Far East, and the Far East dispatched troops should not rush to seize it. After the Soviet troops withdraw,

Instead of leaving the Far East empty, it should be within Manchuria and, together with the Kwantung Army, build a solid line of defense to prevent independent divisions from attacking Manchuria.

Manchuria is the fundamental interest of the empire overseas, and its importance is self-evident. For this reason, General Nanjiro reiterated his opinions many times in the telegram, hoping to attract the attention of Prince Zain and transfer him back from the Far East.

Part of the force to stabilize the defense of Manchuria. Yes, the Kwantung Army can only adopt a defensive posture at present. As for the Far East, if the independent division troops take the offensive, they may as well give up!

Unfortunately, General Nanjiro's opinions are far from Prince Zaihi's inner expectations. General Nanjiro is well aware of Prince Zaihi's intentions. His Royal Highness has lost face during the Far Eastern Campaign and is in urgent need of help.

By occupying the Far East, they proved that they had not failed and had accomplished their stated campaign intentions.

In the view of General Nanjiro, this is simply putting the cart before the horse. Making a wrong battle layout for the sake of his own face will have unimaginable consequences. The most direct consequence is to dilute the empire's control of Manchuria.

Defense forces, therefore, there were several exchanges of messages, and both sides were in a great deal of trouble!

If it were the heyday of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro would never have brought this disagreement to the surface. He had more than 1.8 million brave and capable imperial soldiers and was not afraid of anyone. However, things are different now. The Kwantung Army is already

The troops were crippled and lost too much blood. Originally, facing the western Liaoning region, an elite field corps of an independent division only had a slight upper hand with the Kwantung Army's current strength.

Later, on the northeastern border of Manchuria, another independent division, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, also launched an aggressive offensive posture, forcing itself to allocate a considerable part of its troops and form a border garrison to compete. In the western Liaoning region, Guandong

The Kwantung Army no longer has the upper hand. Now, an independent division, the North China Field Corps, has emerged in Kailu and Tongliao. This will undoubtedly make things worse for the Kwantung Army.

On the large military map, it can be clearly shown that the current military situation around Manchuria, the western Liaoning region, the northeastern region, Kailu and Tongliao regions are like three rounded bows, with arrows pointing directly at Fengtian in the hinterland of Manchuria.

Beijing and Harbin, and the most threatening ones are the troops of the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division on the front lines of Tongliao and Kailu.
