Age of Conquest Reborn

Colonel Han Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the North China Field Corps, absolutely does not believe what his commander just said. He believes that as long as he comes up with a way to stimulate the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side to take action, he can dream of regaining the honor of the first battle in Northeast China.

The commander will definitely issue a full-line offensive order without hesitation, and will also provide a supplementary explanation to the division commander afterwards.

"Commander, you must not act rashly! Chief of Staff Zhao also emphasized in the telegram that all participating troops should overcome their impetuosity and eagerness to fight and strictly implement the orders of the division commander! It seems to me that he was specifically told to you.

!" Han Guangqi warned sternly.

Yuan Jinghao became impatient, "Chief of Staff, you underestimate me, Yuan Jinghao. I have been a soldier for so many years and I still don't understand this. Go away! Go talk to those brigade commanders who are so anxious that they go to bed."

, convey the order from the division commander! The brigade commanders all like to listen to you!" He pushed and coaxed Han Guangqi out of the shelter.

Then, Yuan Jinghao held up his binoculars and looked at the opposite side, which had no lights at all. It was like a cemetery and was filled with dead silence and Japanese military positions. He muttered: "Damn it! You little Japs are really shrinking, you."

Say, if there is a little movement, it won’t work?”

It's not that the Kwantung Army has no movement, it's that it hasn't received orders from the headquarters. Although night has fallen, the lights in the Kwantung Army headquarters building in Fengtian City are still brightly lit. From time to time, there are reports of senior officers of the Eastern Army, dusty and dusty.

They jumped out of the car with a serious face and hurried into the headquarters building. They had just received the order from the staff and immediately rushed to the headquarters to attend an emergency military meeting!

On the top floor of the building, in an inconspicuous office, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, with serious faces, had been discussing for a long time, although the order to convene an emergency military meeting was issued.

Order. But before the meeting begins, a clear response to the war situation in the Liaodong Peninsula must be formulated. However, this is obviously a very difficult problem.

General Nanjiro still has many doubts about the sudden action of the independent division aviation to bomb the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. There is no need to worry about the Korean Peninsula, but the Liaodong Peninsula is the defense zone of the Kwantung Army. Although it is located in southern Manchuria,

But it has extremely important geographical and military value.

The two men discussed with the chief of staff for a long time. The doubts in his heart not only did not decrease, but became more. General Nanjiro found himself in a dilemma, "Matsuda-kun, I am still not sure. That China devil Tang Qiu

Li's attack direction

Where exactly? Liaodong Peninsula? Judging from the large-scale bombing, it seems very possible, but what is the intention of Chen Bing's three independent divisions on the border of Manchuria?" General Nanjiro rubbed his hair.

His temples were swollen and he said in distress.

General Nanjiro does not need to know much about the head of Chief of Staff Matsuda. This is already the Commander. He has asked himself this countless times, but he insists on his own judgment. The independent division troops will inevitably cross the Bohai Strait and land on the Liaodong Peninsula.

,"manage

Your Majesty, I believe that there is no need to hesitate at this moment. The direction of attack chosen by the China devil is undoubtedly on the Liaodong Peninsula, with troops stationed at the independent divisions on the Manchurian border. Who is trying to contain the Kwantung Army!" Chief of Staff Matsuda said succinctly.

said.

"Moreover, the main forces of the Kwantung Army are confronting the independent divisions in three different directions on the Manchurian border. In the Liaodong Peninsula, the imperial army's garrison strength is very weak. Commander, the only measure we have to take at the moment is to do everything possible, The time left for us to increase troops to the Liaodong Peninsula is not sufficient. Maybe tomorrow, a large number of independent division troops will cross the Bohai Strait and attack the Liaodong Peninsula!" Chief of Staff Matsuda persuaded with earnest words.

General Nanjiro could not fail to see such a simple battle situation. Just because it was simple, it made him even more wary. Would Tang Qiuli, the Chinese devil known for his insidiousness and cunning, adopt such a simple layout? During the bombing of the Liaodong Peninsula On that day, instead of ordering the independent division troops to take the opportunity to cross the Bohai Strait, only bombing and air strikes were carried out, and the landing troops stood still. This could not help but make me suspicious.

General Nanjiro knew exactly what kind of heavy damage the Kwantung Army aviation airfields in the Liaodong Peninsula had suffered. At least half of the combat aircraft of the Kwantung Army aviation had been destroyed. There was no threat to the independent division in the Bohai Sea. Regarding the safety of the troops crossing the sea, the question then arises. According to reports from the Liaodong Peninsula garrison and intelligence from the intelligence department, the troops of the independent division did not conduct a cross-sea attack?

Moreover, General Nanjiro still firmly believed that the main direction of Tang Qiuli's attack was in the Liaoxi region of Manchuria, the Western Manchuria region and the northwest border. Large-scale troops would cross the sea and land on three key points, which would require huge transportation. Fleet, why would this Chinese devil choose to stay far away?

What makes me even more confused and unable to understand is that Chen Bing's three independent divisions on the Manchurian border showed no signs of attack. The battlefield was as silent as ever. What was Tang Qiuli waiting for?

The complicated battlefield situation has almost exhausted General Nanjiro's efforts. His biggest distress comes from two aspects. On the one hand, he cannot judge Tang Qiuli's next move. On the other hand, it is the lack of troops. If he The troops in hand are still the Kwantung Army before the Far East Campaign. Whether it is defending the key points on the Manchurian land border or defending the Liaodong Peninsula, it will not be a problem. Even if the China devil tries all his tricks, what do I have to fear?

General Nanjiro's face was uncertain. Looking in the eyes of Chief of Staff Matsuda, he understood that his words did not convince the commander to make up his mind as soon as possible and try every means to quickly block the big hole in the Liaodong Peninsula. Then you will know. Shut up, as the chief of staff, I have fulfilled my responsibilities and have said everything that needs to be said. As for the next move of the Kwantung Army, that is a matter for General Nanjiro.

It is strange to say that as soon as Chief of Staff Matsuda shut up, the air in the office suddenly solidified, with unbearable depression. General Nanjiro, who was struggling fiercely in his heart, realized this and looked at it silently. An old subordinate who had followed him for many years had a look of pain in his eyes.

General Nanjiro sighed and said in a tired tone: "Matsuda-kun, I know what you mean. Rapidly increasing the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula is a top priority. After all, various signs indicate that the independent division troops are most likely to land there, but , Matsuda-kun, have you ever considered that all the troops of the Kwantung Army are confronting the three corps of the Independent Division at the border of Manchuria!"

Seeing Chief of Staff Yamada listening to his words attentively, General Nanjiro continued: "The current situation is that we cannot mobilize troops from any direction. The lack of troops is our biggest difficulty at present. The Liaodong Peninsula was bombed by the independent division aviation.

Analyzing one incident, can we think about it the other way round? This is a trap set by Tang Qiuli to make us think that the direction of his attack is the Liaodong Peninsula, forcing us to send reinforcements from the direction of the Manchurian border!"

"Then, we take advantage of the opportunity when the imperial army of our empire reinforces the Liaodong Peninsula and creates a lack of troops in a certain direction to launch an attack. If so, an attack from any direction on the Manchurian border will cut off the entire territory of Manchuria as a whole and use that China devil

With his military tactics and level of insidiousness and cunning, this possibility exists! Matsuda-kun, this matter is of great importance, and a single move can affect everything. If you are not careful, the whole game will be lost, so I have to be cautious!"

Nanjiro's words were quite lamentable. There are many difficulties, the most difficult of which is the current war situation in Manchuria. Chief of Staff Matsuda was moved, "Commander, please forgive me for considering the issue too one-sided. However, the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula

, after all it is

The biggest weakness of the Imperial Kwantung Army is that once the independent division troops actually cross the sea and land, they will pose a threat to us no less than from any direction. Regarding this point, Commander, please have a foolproof plan!" He said sincerely.

"A foolproof strategy? - It's easier said than done. We don't have any soldiers, and we need to block holes everywhere!" General Nanjiro smiled bitterly in his heart, "Let's go, Matsuda-kun, it's time for the military meeting!" In fact, after several hours of discussion,

The two Kwantung Army bosses did not come up with any feasible way to deal with the current situation. However, the commanders who were recruited urgently could not hang around in the conference room and had no choice but to go to the conference venue.

Chief of Staff Matsuda turned sideways and landed half of General Nanjiro's body. There was no space in his heart at all, and he was completely blocked. What troubled him was that in the emergency military meeting, General Nanjiro and himself were faced with these things.

What should the senior generals of the Kwantung Army say?

The two heads of the Kwantung Army followed each other one after another, both filled with worries, as they walked down the long corridor with heavy and difficult steps. The dim lights in the corridor made the two figures appear illusive and dark.

As soon as he entered the conference room, facing nearly a hundred senior Kwantung Army generals, each with thoughtful and complicated eyes, General Nanjiro went straight to the topic without saying a word, "Gentlemen, at this critical moment, please summon everyone to the headquarters.

The meeting is held because our Kwantung Army is about to face a major crisis. Mr. Hengshan, please tell us about the current situation on the Liaodong Peninsula, and of course, what is the defensive strength of the Imperial Kwantung Army?"

General Nanjiro directly called the name. The one he named was Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yoshihiko, the commander of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army and the commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Military Area. He came from the war zone and should know the situation best. In fact, Lieutenant General Yokoyama was very knowledgeable about this critical situation.

time

, all the airports in his military-controlled area were bombed into ruins, and when the troops were panicking, the headquarters ordered them to fly all the way from the Liaodong Peninsula to Fengtian to hold some kind of military meeting. In my heart, it was quite uncomfortable.

satisfy.

On the incoming plane, Lieutenant General Hengshan was still thinking about how to implore the Commander-in-Chief to increase troops in the Liaodong Peninsula. However, he did not expect that the Commander-in-Chief would directly point his finger at him as soon as he came up.
