Age of Conquest Reborn

Historically, General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, left office with dignity and was transferred back to the country. He continued to hold a high position as the deputy military affairs officer of the base camp, and still prospered. Unlike his predecessor, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Muto.

Compared with the bleak end of General Xinyi, it can be said to be a world of difference.

After Tang Qiuli summarized Nanjiro's characteristics, he became more determined. He decided to fight the main force of the Kwantung Army along the northeastern border. He ordered the Han Railway troops not to attack Fengtian for the time being, and ordered the Niangziguan garrison, Feng Jiwu troops, and the North China Field Corps.

The offensive posture of Yuan Jinghao's troops was all for one purpose, so that the main force of the Kwantung Army could not retreat to the hinterland of the Northeast. Of course, the Korean Railway's troops were pointing directly at Fengtian. Nanjiro could not remain indifferent, he would definitely take action.

of!

On the evening of June 24, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division, and several senior officers, as well as a few people in civilian clothes, entered Anton City under the protection of guards.

Inside, because it had not experienced large-scale battles, the city of Anton was basically intact. It was still Jiang Xianliang's troops of the Sixth Brigade who captured Anton. Knowing that the commander was about to enter the city, Jiang Xianliang hurriedly took an armored command vehicle and rushed to the south gate.

meet.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, from a distance, I saw the commander and several people with unfamiliar faces strolling into the south gate of An'an. I quickly jumped out of the armored command vehicle and hurried forward to greet them.

"Reporting to the commander, after more than two hours of fighting, the Sixth Brigade captured Anton and wiped out more than 2,300 people from the Kwantung Army's Anton garrison. Now, the troops are taking over all key departments, and the order in front is good. Still.

There is one thing, Commander, I met in Zhuanghe

The situation is the same, all those Japanese civilians committed suicide! After the troops entered Anton, there were also several small-scale battles!" Jiang Xianliang reported concisely, because there were a few more unfamiliar faces, and some of them...

Wearing casual clothes, he deliberately emphasized a few words.

However, Jiang Xianliang seemed to have something to report. However, because there were outsiders present, it was probably difficult to say it, so he hesitated for a moment. Han Tie also noticed it, frowned, raised his hand in return, and did not ask any further questions. He nodded with satisfaction.

The leader said: "Well, the Sixth Brigade did a good job. We didn't even use cannons to blow Anton to pieces! If in this situation, you, Jiang Xianliang, beat Anton to pieces again, I will send the Fifth Brigade up!"

"

Jiang Xianliang regarded the commander's words as a reward for the Sixth Brigade. He couldn't help grinning. In fact, there was nothing outstanding about the Battle of Anton. The garrison of more than 2,000 little devils was simply a second-rate force.

Compared with the regular Kwantung Army troops, their combat effectiveness was only a few blocks behind. The four regiments of the Sixth Brigade launched attacks from all sides, and in just over two hours, they easily wiped out the Kwantung Army's garrison.

This has to be taken into account the process of searching for the remaining Japanese soldiers. However, during this process, there were several battles that were not considered battles. When the soldiers entered the residences of Japanese expatriates to search, they encountered the defeated Japanese troops who were fighting to the death.

Soldiers, this is nothing, they were solved in a few times, but those Japanese expatriates who had not committed suicide yet played with suicide bombs, causing casualties of more than a dozen soldiers, so the soldiers had to shoot and kill them.

Got these guys.

In the capture of Anton, counting the casualties during the siege and several suicide bombings, the Sixth Brigade suffered more than 60 casualties. For the Sixth Brigade with more than 16,000 troops, the casualties were negligible.

Regardless, after entering Anton, Jiang Xianliang regretfully told his four regiment commanders, "This battle has been so difficult that I can't even lift my spirits! Didn't the little devils I met before not be able to help but fight like this?"

Seeing Jiang Xianliang's face, Han Tie glared at him, then turned to the unfamiliar officers and people in civilian clothes and said: "I don't understand, are all the Japanese tired of living? Why are they so motionless?

Just commit suicide, I don’t understand! It’s the same situation all the way from Lushunkou! The teacher is right, the little devils are a nation that is naturally self-destructive!”

Han Tie had intentions. When he saw Jiang Xianliang reporting that all the Japanese in Andong City had committed suicide, the faces of these people from Dingbian and Pingjin Police Headquarters changed, and there was suspicion in their eyes.

The look on his face seemed to be that he was doubting that after his troops captured Anton, they would massacre the city and massacre Japanese civilians on a large scale. He had to take a precaution. Finally, if he moved out the division commander, he did not want these newcomers to the Liaodong Peninsula to suffer.

People make irresponsible remarks.

Seeing Han Tie say this, the faces of several people looked better. Han Tie pointed at Jiang Xianliang and introduced: "Jiang Xianliang, let me introduce you to him!"

Han Tie first pointed at the man in casual clothes, with a medium build, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a serious face. He was obviously responsible and said: "This is from our base camp Dingbian, and is responsible for accepting Anton from the Northeast Working Group.

Captain Song Geping of the work team! He will soon serve as the mayor of Andong City!"

Then, he pointed at the officer with the rank of colonel and said: "This is the regiment commander Yao Qishan from the Pingjin Garrison Command, who is responsible for the defense of Anton. He serves as the commander of the Anton Garrison Command. The two of them will be the commanders of the Andong Garrison Command in the future."

The military and political commander of the East!"

After introducing the visitor, Han Tie pointed at Jiang Xianliang and said with emphasis: "This is Major General Jiang Xianliang, commander of the 6th Marine Corps Brigade. This is the 6th Brigade. He has been serving as the offensive forward of the East Route Army, attacking from Lushunkou.

Along the way to Anton, we killed tens of thousands of enemies. He is a famous general of our Marine Corps. Jiang Xianliang, you will hand over the defense of Anton to Commander Yao Qishan in a moment!"

The three people shook hands and greeted each other politely. At least on the surface, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Yao Qishan was also a professional soldier. However, he had been serving garrison duties in the Pingjin area and had almost no chance to fight on the front line. If he followed the independent

According to the standard division of division troops, the local garrison troops are second-line troops. In terms of status, they are incomparable with the first-line troops. In addition, Jiang Xianliang's military rank is higher than his own.

Therefore, Yao Qishan was very polite and saluted Jiang Xianliang first. They were both soldiers and had a lot in common with each other. The two quickly became familiar with each other and talked freely about military issues. Of course, they focused on Anton's current situation.

Regarding the situation, Jiang Xianliang did not hide anything, and introduced everything in detail, which also gave Yao Qishan a general understanding and psychological preparation for Anton's situation.

On the contrary, Song Geping, the captain of the Anton Working Team of the Northeast Working Group, looked very serious and reserved. Probably because he was a civilian official and did not have much in common with the soldiers. It was more likely that he came from Dingbian and belonged to the independent division.

The base camp has been working in the government department for a long time, and it has the sense of superiority of living in a central place for a long time. Dingbian is far away from the flames of war, and it was one of the most prosperous cities in China at the time. The understanding of the war probably only remains on the surface.

among.

When Song Geping heard Jiang Xianliang's report that all the Japanese in Anton City had committed suicide, he felt very uncomfortable. Han Tie's words later did not completely dispel this uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He thought,

Japan in Andong Castle

There must be a reason why people commit suicide one after another. I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the Brigadier Chiang in front of me. The soldiers on the battlefield are jealous and do some excessive things. I can understand it. There is no gunpoint.

Will the Japanese commit suicide due to persecution?

But Song Geping also knew very well that as long as the things he did were not too bad and did not seriously violate the principles, he would not investigate deeply. Moreover, military and political systems are originally two systems, and he could not openly embarrass Commander Han.

I don't know much about the matter myself, and it doesn't look good to anyone if I make a half-red face.

Furthermore, the Japanese are the invaders in the first place. If they die, they will die. It’s no big deal. Song Geping had a lot of thoughts in his mind and considered it very carefully. He was able to be selected from tens of thousands of cadres in Dingbian.

Come out, join the Northeast Reception Work Group, and serve as a receptionist, you naturally have your own merits!

But when it comes to talking openly with several officers, I still can't do it. On the one hand, their character is that officials in government agencies are not as straightforward as soldiers, and they are too cautious. Moreover, this time the reception is based on the political power.

In other words, in the future management structure of Anton, the city government will be the main one, including the Anton Police Headquarters, all under the leadership of the city government. As the top officer of Anton, he should naturally be somewhat reserved.

The group of people walked into Andong City while talking. At that time, Andong City was relatively prosperous because it was a port city and located on the border between China and North Korea. Both sides of the street were covered with various shops. Of course.

, most of them are Japanese shops, and the storefronts are also very tall, with a strong colonial feel.

There were basically few pedestrians on the street. The citizens had not yet reacted to the horror of the war. Patrols composed of troops from the 6th Brigade walked through the street from time to time. The whole Anton was in a state of panic.

Apart from the atmosphere, it was in good order and the shops on both sides of the street were not damaged.

Seeing all this, Song Geping was very satisfied. If Anton was a ruined city after the war, with ten houses and nine empty houses, the pressure on him would be huge. The post-war restoration and reconstruction work would be

Extremely difficult, only

Based on this, I had a deep affection for Brigadier Jiang, and he looked at Jiang Xianliang with a very affectionate look. However, Jiang Xianliang didn't have much feeling for the future Mayor of Anton, no.

A fellow traveler!

When passing by a Japanese-style house, Song Geping suddenly had the idea to go in and take a look. He told Han Tie, but Han Tie didn't speak. Jiang Xianliang on the side spoke, "Captain Song, you'd better not go in. Troops

We just entered the city, and the bodies of the Japanese who committed suicide have not had time to be cleaned up, so the scene is a bit chaotic!"
