Age of Conquest Reborn

Far away in Yangon on the Indochina Peninsula, Tang Qiusheng, the deputy commander of the Independent Division and the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Indochina and East India, was wise. He read the telegram from the division commander.

After that, it was proposed that just transferring one 29th Corps to the north might not be enough to cope with the Japanese reinforcements. It was proposed that six to seven brigades from the Shulin Mobile Corps should be mobilized to strengthen the strength of the northern battlefield.

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli said without thinking: "No, you call Deputy Commander Tang back. The troops in the southern region have been reduced to the minimum. They can no longer be deployed. The Japanese's behavior is unpredictable.

, no one cares about the guarantee, and takes advantage of our fierce battle in the north and the lack of troops in the south to backhand attack the Indochina Peninsula!"

Zhao Yuhe swallowed a mouthful of food and said, "Commander, I think so too! We must maintain a certain amount of troops in the Indochina Peninsula to deter the Japanese. I don't understand how the Japanese army came from several places in the Southwest Pacific.

Aren't you afraid that we will take the opportunity to launch an attack if you mobilize troops to an island?"

When Tang Qiuli was full, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, burped with satisfaction, and said: "I'm afraid, the Japanese are more afraid of them than anyone else, but there is no other way. I judge that the Japanese have even given up on those islands.

Plan to concentrate our forces to solve the problems on the Australian battlefield and the battlefields in the Far East, Northeast and Korean Peninsula!"

Zhao Yuhe's eyes lit up and he said: "Sir, I have a suggestion..."

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly and stopped Zhao Yuhe's next words, "Yuhe, there is no need to go on, the time is not ripe! By the way, I just called Zhou Yushan. I ordered the Peking Rear Area Joint Service Department to start a mission within a week.

Within, for those who participated in the Northern Campaign

All troops are issued gas masks, and each soldier must have one set. Keep an eye on this matter! At the same time, I would like to remind the commanders of each corps to impose strict requirements on officers and ordinary soldiers at all levels.

, the gas mask must be carried with you!”

Zhao Yuhe's eyes widened in surprise. He said in disbelief: "Commander, do you suspect that the Japanese used poison gas? It's impossible. Isn't that a blatant violation of international conventions?"

Tang Qiuli said coldly: "Yuhe, please remember one thing, no matter how careful you are against the Japanese, you can never be too careful. No matter how you imagine, it is not out of bounds! That is a nation and country composed of lunatics and self-destructive characters!"

In the pitch-black night, boundless darkness shrouds the earth, but the Incheon Port in the middle of the Korean Peninsula is a busy scene. The lights on the port are dazzling. As bright as day, one cargo ship after another unloads a large amount of cargo, and then these cargoes are loaded into

Get in the truck and drive away.

On the ruins of the Japanese army in Incheon, there is another scene. Countless electric lights illuminate the place as bright as day, and the roar of construction machinery and engines. The vehicles and people passing back and forth turn this place into a huge construction site.

There was a noise everywhere. An engineering group of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division was working hard all night to clean up the ruins at Incheon Airport and repair the Incheon Airport as soon as possible according to the orders of the headquarters.

On a hill about three or four kilometers away from the brightly lit Incheon Airport, among the dense bushes, a short man was lying on his back, holding a telescope and carefully observing the brightly lit Incheon Airport.

Ten minutes later, a group of trucks loaded with construction materials drove into the construction site. "Yo Xi!" the little man muttered, climbed out of the bushes, and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

A few hours later, a top-secret telegram flew from a small village near Inchon on the Korean Peninsula to the General Administration of Military Intelligence, the Japanese base camp. Whether it was Ma Chaoyang who was anxiously waiting for a reply from his division commander in Mokpo, or the Navy and Air Force in Qingdao, Shandong Province.

Neither Liu Cuigang nor Le Yiqin at the base knew how much danger this incident would bring to the Incheon Airport that was under construction. The war was going on on the Korean Peninsula, and the tentacles of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Branch had not yet covered this area.

.

In Mokpo, the Korean Peninsula, the temporary headquarters of the Southeast Mobile Corps headquarters, the commander, Major General Ma Chaoyang, was pacing back and forth anxiously in his tent. Since the telegram was sent, he has been waiting uneasily for Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Cross-Sea Campaign Command.

The general's call back was very quick. Not only did he agree with his new battle plan, but he also included the opinions of the Cross-sea Campaign Command, expressing his strong support.

But Ma Chaoyang knew that when it came to the Korean Peninsula battlefield, an important part of the overall deployment of the northern campaign, changing the combat mode would not work without Commander Tang's consent. The final decision was made by the division commander.

"Chief of Staff, has it been almost an hour since the telegrams were sent out? Why hasn't the division commander responded to your call yet? Do you think our new combat plan will be approved by the division commander? After all, our actions are too big!"

Chaoyang looked anxious and asked Colonel Xu Guangqi, Chief of Staff.

Xu Guangqi was also unsure, but he was still relieved: "Commander, such a major change in the way of combat is not a trivial matter. We must allow the division commander to hold a meeting to study it. My analysis is that the division commander has not called back. I am afraid that he is

While we are studying our battle plan, you should eat something first. From noon to now, it has been more than ten hours and I haven’t eaten a bite of food. How can this continue!"

"If the division commander's order comes down and our plan is approved, I'm afraid we won't have time to have a peaceful meal in the coming days!" Xu Guangqi said, gesturing to the guards behind him, and the guards understood and went out.

Ma Chaoyang still didn't stop and said: "Chief of Staff, how can I think about eating? I am so anxious that the new combat plan has not been approved by the division commander, so we have taken action first. The two transferred

A heavy artillery brigade and two tank brigades requesting assistance from the Armored Forces Command will arrive at Mokpo Port tomorrow and are ready to go. If the division commander disagrees, even though we have a preliminary plan and can make temporary adjustments, we are still passive!"

"The combat meeting has also been held, and the emotions of officers at all levels have been aroused. If the commander of the fire withdrawal division does not approve our new combat plan, it will affect the morale of the troops, and it will be difficult to fight the next battle.

Now think about it, we were a bit reckless in this matter, how could we just cut it off first and then report it later? Isn't this forcing the teacher to express his position? What we did was a bit rough!" Ma Chaoyang was there again.

Shaking his head and sighing, he reflected on himself.

Xu Guangqi comforted: "Commander, you don't have to worry. Since Commander-in-Chief Tang of the Cross-Sea Battle has approved our new battle plan and strongly supports it, I consider that the division commander has no possibility of vetoing it. After all, the words of Fleet Commander Tang

Rights are still very important!”

Ma Chaoyang shook his head and said: "Chief of Staff, it's not that simple. In Commander Tang's telegram, the prerequisite for supporting our new Mokpo battle plan is that there must be enough reserve corps to join the Mokpo battlefield, from Indochina Peninsula.

The transfer of the 29th Corps is a matter that affects the overall situation, so it is very complicated. The division commander must consider many aspects! There is a high possibility of denying our new combat plan!"

Ma Chaoyang turned around and looked at the dark night sky. Xu Guangqi wanted to say something, but found that he had nothing to say. At this time, a confidential staff officer came in and was about to shout a report. Xu Guangqi stopped him and whispered.

Asked: "What's the matter?"

The confidential staff officer also replied in a low voice: "Chief of Staff, the division commander and the sea-crossing campaign headquarters have all called back!" As he said that, he took out two telegrams from the folder.

Xu Guangqi took the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and shouted excitedly: "The commander, division commander, and sea-crossing campaign headquarters have all approved our plan!"

"What?" Ma Chaoyang turned around suddenly, "Chief of Staff, the specific content of the telegram!"

Xu Guangqi said: "The division commander approved our campaign plan, and the 29th Corps in Indochina was transferred north to join the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. The original cross-sea campaign headquarters was abolished and the Korean Peninsula Theater Command was established. Fleet Commander Tang

Commander Tang serves as the theater commander. In addition, Commander Tang called and said that he has led the fleet that originally escorted the Marine Corps on the northern front from Qingdao Navy and Air Force Base to Mokpo!"

Ma Chaoyang's eyes were filled with sparkle, and he said eagerly: "Thank God, my work was not in vain. I wish Commander Tang was here. Otherwise, with such a big mess, I really can't do what I want. Chief of Staff, the two heavy artillery brigades and

two tanks

The Ke brigade will be able to land at Mokpo tomorrow. You immediately organize the staff of the staff office to formulate a plan for coordinated sea, air and ground firepower operations overnight, and then notify the plan to the aviation and fleet respectively. The day after tomorrow, I will start a big fight!"

Near noon the next day, Tang Qiuquan arrived at Mokpo Port. Standing on the deck of the flagship, Mokpo Pier was a busy scene. He watched the ships unloading large-caliber heavy artillery and tanks, and smiled at Chief of Staff Xin Xiguo.

The major general said: "Xi Guo, it seems that Ma Chaoyang is preparing for a big fight! The terrain conditions of Mokpo are not suitable for large-scale armored group assaults. He and the Armored Forces Command requested two brigades of tank troops to

What tricks are you doing?"

Xin Xiguo replied: "Commander, according to the content of Commander Ma's telegram, he wants to use tanks to cover multiple attacks by small groups of troops and minimize troop casualties. The Japanese army lacks anti-tank weapons. This can be regarded as a

way!"

The fleet docked, and Ma Chaoyang led the members of the Corps Headquarters. The brigade commanders of each brigade were waiting at the dock. Seeing Tang Qiuquan walking down the gangway, they hurried forward to greet him, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to Commander Tang, Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps, leading the Corps

Members of the department and the commanders of each brigade came to greet the commander and ask for instructions!"

Tang Qiuquan looked at the row of shining generals in front of him. A dozen major generals stood in a row with their backs straight. He smiled and said: "Chaoyang, the battle is not small. It's just right. We don't need to notify you. Let's go. We will call a military meeting immediately."

Meeting!"
