Age of Conquest Reborn

"Ah!" Zhao Yuhe whispered, his eyes full of surprise and confusion. The division commander's decision was too sudden, and he was not mentally prepared at all. "Teacher commander, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to change the deployment before the battle."

Right? All the corps are ready to attack. If the attack time is changed, will it affect the vigor and morale of the troops?" He frowned and said in a serious tone. As the chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe has the responsibility to make such a reminder.

At the same time, there was a sentence that stuck in Zhao Yuhe's heart, "Commander, what prompted you to change the scheduled attack time for the campaign?" But he did not ask. He knew that the division commander's decision was definitely not temporary.

A whim, or..., the teacher must have a point. Although I don't know why, I believe it.

Tang Qiuli's eyes were dancing with light, and he said calmly: "Yu He, I have thought about it for a long time before making this decision. As far as the current battle situation is concerned, it is better to be still than to move. Deputy Commander Liu's

The East Point troops suppressed the Japanese Far Eastern Front in the Far East, and the three corps on the northeastern border contained all the Kwantung Army troops. As for the battlefield as a whole, the only ones who can take corresponding measures are the Japanese and Korean garrison troops!"

Zhao Yuhe said nothing and listened carefully to the division commander's words, "I judge that the Kwantung Army does not dare to deploy troops from any direction to reinforce the Liaodong Peninsula, because Nanjiro has all the troops in the three directions confronting us.

is in a state of overstretch,

Therefore, our immobility is the greatest pressure on the Kwantung Army, because the opponent cannot guess our next move, so he does not dare to act rashly. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move. What about the Kwantung Army?

The direction you move is the direction from which our attack will begin!"

"The advantage of doing this is that in the face of our army's powerful offensive, the Kwantung Army will not adopt a full-line retreat tactic and shrink into the hinterland of the Northeast. In that case, it will be detrimental to our future battles and will go against my plan to reduce the Northeast Campaign to

The original intention is to control the main battlefield outside the hinterland of Northeast China as much as possible! Hum hum! I want to see how Zai Ren and Nan Jiro can break this game?" Tang Qiuli said with eyes shining.

Zhao Yuhe thought nervously while digesting the division commander's words. He immediately understood Tang Qiuli's intention and added: "Commander, I understand your intention. Our army will not move. The Kwantung Army will not dare to move. So

, the Japanese defense in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula is still empty. If the Kwantung Army dares to move, we will use this direction as a breakthrough! Take the opportunity to attack! Attack its weaknesses. Once we attack in an all-out manner, the weaknesses may become a hard nut to crack!

"

Tang Qiuli sat down on the chair relaxedly and nodded: "Yes! This is exactly what I mean. Therefore, it is much more beneficial to us to not move now than to move. Yuhe, when you are giving the troops action orders. But...

Properly inform the commanders of the corps of this, otherwise, there will be countless telegrams flying to the division headquarters, which will be very annoying! You should go to the corps directly under it in person, after all, you are also the chief of staff!"

Zhao Yuhe also smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Commander, I will go to the directly affiliated corps immediately. However, the three corps on the northeastern border are not moving for the time being. Then, the Marine Corps and the Korean Railway Department are preparing to land on the Liaodong Peninsula as originally planned.

, the Ma Chaoyang Department of the Southeast Mobile Regiment that landed on the Korean Peninsula will also delay the time to cross the sea!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head and said: "Yuhe, you are confused. The main force of the Kwantung Army is attracted to the northwest border, the western Liaoning area and the western Manchuria area. The Liaodong Peninsula is at a time when its military strength is empty. How can it be delayed?

What about the attack? As for North Korea

In the direction of the peninsula, our cross-sea landing operations must be carried out quickly. We cannot give the Japanese and Korean garrison troops time to gather troops. From the battlefield situation, they can be regarded as two separate directions. Therefore, the cross-sea attacks in these two directions were originally planned.

constant!"

"Also, inform Deputy Commander Liu of the order I just issued, and ask him to pay attention to the movements of Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force and firmly hold the Japanese army. If the situation in the Northeast is critical, he will not be ruled out from dispatching troops from the Far East for reinforcements.

Possibilities in the Northeast!”

A telegram marked urgent, within ten minutes, arrived in the hands of Major General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, Major General Yuan Jinghao, commander of the North China Field Corps, and Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.

The reaction is very different.

Feng Jiwu put down the telegram and said to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "The division commander's plan is very clever. If this happens, Nanjiro will have a headache. Order the troops to maintain an offensive state and be ready to take action at any time!"

Zhang Hansheng muttered dissatisfied: "Commander, the division commander has postponed the launch of the attack, why are we still so tense and nervous? We don't know when the attack will start? Alas! What a joy for nothing!"

Feng Jiwu glared and said: "What are you mumbling about? Preparing for a war is useless! Han Sheng, let me tell you, unless there is no fight, if the fight starts, the Corps will definitely be the first to take action. Do you believe it or not?"

?”

Zhang Hansheng was overjoyed and said: "With your words, I feel at ease! Alas! It is really troublesome to pass on this order!"

Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, put down the telegram in his hand and said to the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Jun: "Yes, the attack time has been delayed. I don't know what the division commander thought. As long as the attack starts, the Kwantung Army in that direction can resist it.

Look, let’s take the Kwantung Army border garrison opposite us as an example. Can it be our corps’ opponent? I, Sun Zhenbang, can guarantee that it will take less than five days to reach the hinterland of Northeast China!”

Wang Jun said thoughtfully: "Commander, I analyze that the division commander suddenly decided to postpone the launch of the attack, but the troops on the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula launched the attack according to the original plan. There should be a trick from the division commander.

Wonderful move! You see, the current battlefield situation in the Northeast, the Kwantung Army stretches out three arms in three directions, and of our three corps, each of us is holding down one. It is much better not to let go than to let go!"

Sun Zhenbang looked at the map carefully and laughed loudly and said: "Chief of Staff, your metaphor is very appropriate! It is really the case. If we take the initiative to attack in that direction, it is like letting go of the Kwantung Army.

The arm is almost the same! I understand somewhat what the division commander’s intention is, okay, order the troops and prepare for the attack!”

After saying this, Sun Zhenbang suddenly felt depressed, "There is no need to prepare. If there is a chance to take action first, it will not be our corps' turn!"

Major General Yuan Jinghao, commander of the North China Field Corps, who had already arrived at the front line, saw this telegram in a shelter on the front line. "Chief of Staff, are you sure you are not mistaken? Is this really the order issued by the division commander?" He was hard-pressed.

Colonel Han Guangqi, the chief of staff of the Corps, was asked in confidence, with deep disappointment and anger in his tone.

Colonel Han Guangqi, the chief of staff of the North China Field Corps, was an eye-catching and gentle man. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, do you think I will make a mistake on such an important order? By the way, I even made a special call.

I went to the divisional staff office to verify it, and Director Ge from the staff office even gave me a tactful lecture!"

Yuan Jinghao exploded all of a sudden, pointed at the Japanese positions on the ground, and shouted loudly, "I just don't understand why the division commander issued such an inexplicable order. Chief of Staff, aside from the superior strength of our corps, just the attachment

The tanks given to our corps include two brigades and two regiments. As long as the division commander gives an order, I, Yuan Jinghao, can arrive at Xinjing City in no more than five days!

"Next, we can fight all the way to the coast of Japan, but the hundreds of thousands of troops in the regiment have their bows strung and their swords unsheathed! When the time comes, they will fight out immediately, but such an inexplicable order comes. Isn't it frustrating?

The spirit of the troops? What the hell is this?"

Yuan Jinghao's frustration is understandable. Of the three corps units on the northeastern border, the North China Field Corps has the most favorable battlefield situation. The Kwantung Army's defense system in Western Manchuria was also the most hastily established. In addition, the Western Manchuria area

Due to the terrain conditions, there is absolutely no danger to defend. Yuan Jinghao can reach Xinjing in no more than five days. This is not a boast, but he has the confidence in his heart!

Han Guangqi pushed up his glasses, looked at Yuan Jinghao, who was blushing, and said in a low voice: "Commander, don't be anxious. There are a few most critical sentences in the commander's order. You didn't read carefully!"

Yuan Jinghao gasped and asked with wide eyes: "Those words?"

"If the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, I will move! Commander, these twelve words are full of mystery! Commander, think about it carefully!" Han Guangqi said with a serious face.

Yuan Jinghao's heart moved, and he understood what the chief of staff meant, but his understanding was unexpected, "Yes, yes! I ignored this key issue in my haste. What the division commander meant is that if the little Japs opposite us move, then it's OK

You don’t have to wait for orders from the division commander to launch the attack immediately, right?”

Han Guangqi nodded and replied: "That should be the meaning, otherwise, in the order, there would be no order for each unit to be ready to launch an attack at any time!"

Yuan Jinghao's eyes rolled around for a few times, and he smiled "hehe". The laughter was indescribably cunning. The mysterious Han Guangqi called to his side and lowered his voice and said: "Chief of Staff, I know you are full of clever ideas. You are thinking of a trick.

By getting the little devil on the opposite side to move, wouldn't we have a reason to attack?"

Han Guangqi trembled with fright and said hurriedly: "Commander, you must not do this. It is related to the division commander's overall campaign layout. You also know that the division commander is very ruthless in dealing with commanders who disobey orders. You don't want to lose your head."

Bar?"

Yuan Jinghao also shuddered and said with a guilty conscience: "Looking at the scared look on your face, am I the one who doesn't follow the division commander's orders? I'm kidding you. Okay, order the troops to continue to maintain the offensive status and wait for the division commander's orders.

Order, our corps must be the first to launch an attack!"
