Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps in charge of attacking the Liaodong Peninsula, arrived at the 4th Forward Brigade. What he saw was the scene after being attacked by a Japanese suicide bomb. The report of Colonel Li Jialiang, the chief of staff of the 4th Brigade, was even more shocking.

He was furious.

There was silence in the tent at the 4th Brigade Headquarters, except for Han Tie's angry roar. The staff members were silent. Looking at the furious face of the commander, Han Tie was indeed angry. On the one hand, he was angry at Huang Wanshan, the commander of the 4th Brigade.

, On the one hand, he blames himself even more. In his opinion, Huang Wanshan made similar mistakes to himself, that is, he did not pay attention to the aspects emphasized in the teacher's report.

Of course, as the commander, Han Tie has already done this. After landing at Lushunkou, he has forwarded the division commander's telegram to each brigade. However, looking at this situation, the two regiments at the front of the fourth brigade suffered as many as

Nearly four thousand people, almost an entire regiment of the Marine Corps, made him very painful, and his heart was bleeding from the pain. If it were on a normal battlefield, such casualties would be understandable.

However, in the face of suicide attacks by Japanese armed civilians, what made him particularly angry was that the division commander had already foreseen this. The notification emphasized in the telegram that Huang Wanshan, as the brigade commander, still caused the troops to suffer

Such a huge loss cannot be forgiven in any case!

Seeing Huang Wanshan lowering his head, Han Tie became even more angry, "Huang Wanshan! Why don't you speak? Is it hard to say or can't you say?" He stared at Major General Huang Wanshan, commander of the 4th Brigade, with burning eyes, and roared, "Li Jialiang, Chief of Staff of the Brigade"

The colonel secretly signaled to the staff officers and radio operators at the brigade headquarters, and these junior officers slipped out in relief.

Then, Li Jialiang said sincerely to Han Tie: "Commander has nothing to do with our brigade commander. As the chief of staff, I bear all the responsibilities. After the headquarters forwarded the division commander's telegram, I was careless in underestimating the enemy and did not convey it to the troops below.

, so that when the troops were attacked by Japanese civilians, they reacted slowly and failed to fire in time, which resulted in the huge casualties. I am willing to accept any disposition from the commander!"

Han Tie's lips trembled with anger and he shouted: "Li Jialiang, don't be careless! Don't cover up for Huang Wanshan! I want to hear Huang Wanshan tell the reason himself!"

Huang Wanshan raised his head suddenly. Because of the pain in his heart, the muscles on his cheeks were twitching uncontrollably. He looked at Han Tie's fire-breathing eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Commander, it's all my fault, and the staff officer's."

Commander, it doesn't matter. It's me. After receiving the division commander's telegram forwarded by the headquarters, I didn't arrange to deliver it to the troops below in time. At the same time, I underestimated the enemy and thought that the regular Japanese troops were no match for us. A group of rabble could turn the world upside down.

?”

"Commander. Because I did not pay enough attention to the orders of the headquarters, which caused such heavy casualties to the first and second regiments. I bear full responsibility and accept any personal punishment imposed on me by the headquarters!"

The words he had been holding back in his heart finally came out, and the pain in Huang Wanshan's heart eased a bit. Yes, because of his carelessness in underestimating the enemy, nearly a thousand soldiers will sleep forever on the land of the Liaodong Peninsula, and more than 4,000 soldiers will be buried forever on the land of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The soldier was lying in the hospital. His inner pain could not be expressed in words. He wished he could pull out his pistol and shoot himself in the head. It was much better than such painful torture!

Han Tie looked at Huang Wanshan with cold eyes, but his tone was not as angry as before, and said: "Huang Wanshan, it is your responsibility. If you can't run away, it is my responsibility, and I will not shirk it. Regarding the process of this battle,

As a result, I will report it to the Crossing Battle Command and the division commander, and ask the superiors to make a decision!"

After saying that, he ignored Huang Wanshan, who had a painful look on his face, and picked up the phone, "Chief of Staff? I am Han Tie, yes, I am at the 4th Brigade Headquarters, conveying my order to attack the second Japanese position.

After a delay of three hours, the Sixth Brigade, which served as rearguard, was ordered to

Move up and replace the offensive position of the 4th Brigade. Yes, the 4th Brigade will withdraw to rest! You order the Logistics Department to prepare to receive the wounded of the 4th Brigade and send them back to the Qingdao base as soon as possible. At the same time, report the situation of our postponement of the attack.

Crossing sea battle headquarters and division commander!"

As soon as Han Tie put down the phone, Huang Wanshan rushed over, grabbed his neck and shouted: "Commander, you can't withdraw the 4th Brigade, we can still fight! We can also serve as a forward and fight all the way to Fengtian! If this is not clear, why don't we?

When Bai withdrew, he thought that Huang Wanshan had lost the battle. Can the Fourth Brigade still raise its head?"

Han Tie looked at Huang Wanshan coldly and said: "Can we still fight? Huang Wanshan, the fourth brigade has suffered casualties of nearly a main regiment and is already broken. Look at your soldiers again, facing the attack of armed Japanese civilians.

, as tired as fighting for days and nights, can such a unit still serve as a forward attack? They withdrew without any reason. You can say it out loud, but you don’t know it in your heart! You, Huang Wanshan, are fighting

Isn’t it a defeat?”

"Do you still want to continue fighting? What do you rely on to fight? Just rely on soldiers like you who have lost their spirit? This is not the time to show off your strength and fight bravely. Immediately organize the troops to withdraw to rest and make room for the Sixth Brigade to attack!

Don't you understand that tired soldiers cannot be used? - Because your fourth brigade delayed the offensive rhythm of the entire army, you, Huang Wanshan, are more to blame! Hurry up and organize the troops to withdraw, rest and wait for the superiors' opinions on how to deal with it!

"

After listening to Han Tie's words, Huang Wanshan's face instantly turned pale. He knew very well what the commander's words meant. It meant that during the entire Liaodong Peninsula campaign, the Fourth Brigade was likely to be excluded from future battlefields.

, or even be transferred back to the Shandong Peninsula to be on standby. For a general who is eager to gallop on the battlefield, being deprived of the right to participate in battle is even more uncomfortable than killing himself.

There is also the fourth brigade, which is such a force with strong combat effectiveness. It may also be listed as a reserve force by the headquarters, that is, a supplementary brigade. Since then, it has lost the opportunity to fight on the frontline battlefield. All of this has

Because of my own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy

Huang Wanshan didn't know how he walked out of the brigade headquarters. When he saw the numerous bomb craters and bloodstains on the first regiment's position in the dim morning light, a seven-foot-tall man with a major general's epaulettes was wearing it.

The tall man couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing Huang Wanshan's devastated look, Han Tie couldn't bear it, but he had to do this. At the same time, Han Tie couldn't forgive himself. He crippled a main brigade before the official battle started. It was equally difficult for him.

Accepting that although it was the Fourth Brigade Commander Huang Wanshan who caused the huge casualties of the troops, Han Tie believed that he also had an unshirkable responsibility.

It may be that after landing at Lushunkou, the troops fought too smoothly. As for the landing at Lushunkou, it is not a war. Can it be considered a battlefield without an enemy? Han Tie admitted that it was not just the brigade-level commanders such as Huang Wanshan.

The officer, even myself, would not have taken Japanese armed civilians seriously if the division commander had not called me and emphasized it!

Therefore, after Huang Wanshan left, Han Tie sat down and began to draft a telegram to the Crossing Battle Headquarters and the Division Headquarters. The focus of the telegram content was to explain the reasons for the casualties suffered by the troops in this battle, as well as to the Japanese nationals.

Regarding the attack by armed civilians, in the telegram, Han Tie did not shirk his responsibility at all, and placed all the reasons for the casualties of the troops on himself.

The telegram requesting to delay the attack first reached the hands of Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Cross-sea Campaign Headquarters. After listening to the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo, finish reading the telegram, Tang Qiuquan frowned slightly and said: "Chief of Staff, notify the aviation commander immediately

Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, the Marine Corps' attack on the Japanese second line of defense on the Liaodong Peninsula has changed the original plan to start at dawn and is delayed by three hours. Please provide air fire support to the fleet and be prepared for contingency!"

After Xin Xiguo, the chief of staff, handed the message to a staff officer, he said doubtfully: "Commander, why did Commander Han Tie delay the launch of the attack? Could it be that the deployment of the Japanese troops on the Liaodong Peninsula has changed?"

Tang Qiuquan said succinctly: "Han Tie is in trouble. Chief of Staff, send a telegram to Han Tie and ask for the reason for delaying the attack!"

In the headquarters of the North China Field Corps in Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, Tang Qiuli put down a telegram in the name of the Marine Corps Command and said slowly: "Han Tie is in trouble. The delay in launching the attack is to adjust the troops.

!”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe asked thoughtfully: "Could it be that on the Liaodong Peninsula, there is intelligence that we have not detected, and the Japanese army has hidden huge forces. Commander Hantie feels the pressure and has to adjust the battle deployment. Shouldn't

Ah, the intelligence office and the special operations detachment are working together, so they should not omit such important information. Besides, the total strength of the Kwantung Army in the entire Northeast is so large, will Nanjiro be able to spread the beans and make an army?"

Tang Qiuli said, "The problem lies with the Japanese armed civilians. If the judgment is correct, Han Tie's troops have already suffered a loss!"

"Ah!" Zhao Yuhe was shocked, "Division commander, in the name of the division commander, should we send a telegram directly to the Marine Corps Command to emphasize again the issues you specifically emphasized in the last telegram?

Or, can it include the Southeast Mobile Corps troops on the southern front?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said simply: "It's not necessary. There is still a cross-sea battle headquarters. Our division commander cannot interfere in everything. Later, Han Tie may have a telegram from Han Tie. It's his turn to explain why the attack was postponed.

There’s a reason!”

Compared with the independent division commander, the cross-sea battle headquarters, speculation has delayed the attack time of the Marine Corps, Commander Han Tie is full of self-blame, compared with the Liaodong Peninsula Kwantung Army's Bayuquan to Zhuanghe line, Acting Defense Commander Major General Katayama's mood, although

Not to the point of being elated, but still pretty good.
