Age of Conquest Reborn

In a major air battle on the Korean Peninsula, the independent division aviation teamed up with fleet carrier-based aircraft to completely eliminate the Japanese Korean Peninsula Combined Air Force. It also defeated the Japanese commander of the Korean garrison, General Tanaka Shinichi, in his attempt to regain air supremacy. For General Tanaka, the blow was fatal.

General Tanaka was even more surprised by the information reported by Major General Kamiya, the chief of staff of the garrison. He even suspected that it was the trick used by the China devil Tang Qiuli, who was always known for his insidiousness and cunning. , the generals of the Japanese Empire suffered too much.

Major General Kamiya swore that the intelligence source was absolutely reliable, but General Tanaka's thinking turned to another angle. He was very confused, why did the three brigades of the independent division heading south from Gunsan not directly attack Busan and Gwangju?

Judging from the current situation of the war on the Korean Peninsula, although there are still tens of thousands of troops fighting on the Manchuria border north of Incheon, General Tanaka is like a mirror in his heart. It is only a matter of time that those tens of thousands of people will be crushed. From Incheon, In the mountains, there are no organized troops of their own to resist the attack of the independent divisions. Therefore, the line from Busan to Mokpo at the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula has become the most intense and critical battlefield.

If he were that China devil Tang Qiuli, the most effective means of attack would be to simultaneously attack Mokpo and order the troops going south from Gunsan to attack Busan and Gwangju and other places respectively, shaking the defense line of the Imperial Korean garrison in all directions. Because of this, he did not dare to invest too much troops in the direction of Mokpo. After all, Busan and Gwangju were also very important, especially Busan, which was the only channel to connect with the mainland.

The question then arises, that China devil. Why didn't he order the troops to attack Busan and Gwangju? If it is said that this China devil made a stupid move and killed General Tanaka, I don't believe it. It makes my head hurt just thinking about it. He couldn't figure out the reason, but he instinctively felt that this was a conspiracy, but he couldn't analyze it. What was the purpose of the conspiracy?

After putting forward his suggestion, Chief of Staff Kamiya, who was waiting for the Commander's decision, found that the General was distracted, but it was not the kind of distracted person who was in a trance, but the kind of distracted person who was stuck in a dilemma that he could not solve. Son, he thought to himself, "What problem did the commander have in mind?"

A few more minutes passed. General Tanaka was still thinking hard. Chief of Staff Kamiya couldn't help but said: "Commander, we should make a decision immediately. In addition to the troops that have been mobilized to reinforce the Mokpo battlefield, we must also mobilize troops from Busan and Gwangju and Gwangju, mobilize more troops to join the Mokpo battlefield!"

"Ah!" General Tanaka looked at his chief of staff in astonishment, and his doubts were still swirling in his mind. He subconsciously asked: "Kamiya-kun, please analyze why the independent division troops heading south from the mountains gave up. Attacking Busan, Gwangju and other places? Is there any conspiracy involved?"

"Ah?" Chief of Staff Kamiya was also stunned. His mind was full of the problem of how to mobilize troops to reinforce the Mokpo battlefield, but he found that he had not followed the commander's thinking. Seeing the commander asking himself this, he hurriedly changed his mind. When he came to this question, he thought for a while and replied: "Commander, based on the judgment of the department, the independent division troops heading south from the mountains have only three brigades, with a strength of less than 50,000 people!"

"If Busan and Gwangju are attacked separately, then on average, the number of troops available for independent divisions in each direction of attack is only more than 20,000. However, the empire's military strength in Busan and Gwangju is five divisions and three independent divisions.

With a brigade of more than 100,000 people, we are not afraid of a counter-encirclement by the imperial army to annihilate the independent divisions of these three brigades, thereby eliminating the threat on the flanks. I think the commander of the independent division has no choice but to do so!"

After listening to Chief of Staff Kamiya's analysis, General Tanaka remained silent. To be fair, Chief of Staff Kamiya's analysis was a bit taken for granted, even superficial. If that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli was worried about the weak strength of the three brigades attacking from the flanks, the situation would be greatly affected.

A considerable portion of the troops could be deployed from the front of the Mokpo battlefield to strengthen the attack on the flanks. However, judging from the current battlefield situation, the China Devil obviously did not do this.

This was another puzzling point for General Tanaka. Suddenly, General Tanaka seemed to remember something and asked: "Kamiya-kun, who is the commander of the independent division commanding the operations in the direction of Mokpo? The intelligence department has detailed information.

?”

It should be said that Major General Kamiya is a very qualified chief of staff. General Tanaka is busy fighting a lawsuit with the broken Major General Sato and preparing to fight with the big guys in the base camp. Some of the daily military affairs of the North Korean Garrison Headquarters fall into

Of course, Major General Kamiya will not relax in terms of intelligence. Agents from the intelligence department of the garrison cannot go deep into the independent division troops to obtain intelligence, but they can still find out who their opponents are!

Chief of Staff Kamiya said humbly: "Commander, because the independent division troops are tightly defended, until yesterday, the Intelligence Department only obtained part of the enemy's intelligence. Among them, including the part you are concerned about, I brought it and was about to report it to you.

You report!”

General Tanaka's body suddenly thrust forward, looking like a wolf that had seen the fire. He said in shock and fear: "Is that China devil Tang Qiuli commanding from the front?"

Chief of Staff Kamiya shook his head and replied: "Commander, no, the enemy commander commanding on the Mopu battlefield is Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, with the rank of major general. This person was originally a commander of the troops directly under Tang Qiuli.

A deputy brigade commander, he was later transferred to the position of brigade commander. Later, during the struggle with the empire for control of the Indochina Peninsula, he was promoted to the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the newly formed independent division!"

"And this Southeast Mobile Corps was formed on the basis of the troops belonging to the Indo-China Peninsula Security Command of the original Independent Division. It is a second-rate unit within the Independent Division. Based on the analysis of Ma Chaoyang's tenure, it is not Tang Qiuli's.

The trusted generals do not have any outstanding achievements, and they did not join the independent division at the earliest time. It was only after the command post attacked the Korean garrison of our empire that it attracted the attention of the intelligence department!"

"It's just that during the battle to attack Mokpo's second line of defense this morning, he showed unusual insidiousness and cunning, causing heavy casualties to the 37th Division and the 53rd Division. It can be called a

A tough opponent, the above is all the information collected by the intelligence department!"

"Ma Chaoyang?" General Tianzhong muttered. He was very unfamiliar with this opponent. At the same time, he felt much more relaxed. As long as the commander of the independent division attacking Mokpo, many of the frightening China devil Tang Qiuli, or

There is no need to worry about the other generals under his command, such as Deputy Division Commander Liu Tiehan, Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng, Commander of Niangziguan Garrison Feng Jiwu and other powerful generals.

It is normal for a commander of a second-rate unit to appear in the situation analyzed by Chief of Staff Kamiya. General Tanaka's expression was obviously relaxed. However, he was very dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the intelligence department. "Kamiya-kun, Intelligence Department

What are those guys doing? The Korean Peninsula Campaign has already started for more than two days, why have we only collected information about the enemy commanders now?" he asked angrily.

Chief of Staff Kamiya secretly cursed, "You spend all day arguing with Sato of the Korean Peninsula United Air Force. Now you have to fly back to the mainland, and now you have to go to Saga on Kyushu Island to question you. How can you care about this!"

Chief of Staff Kamiya was dissatisfied, but he said: "What the commander is asking is that I am strictly ordering the Intelligence Department to make decisions with the five commanders and come up with more valuable intelligence. By the way, commander, the issue we just studied,

What decision have you made?" He changed the topic and returned to the previous question.

General Tanaka pondered for a moment and said: "Order the 39th Division stationed in Busan and the 41st Division stationed in Gwangju to strengthen the Mokpo battlefield. They will still be under the command of Lieutenant General Kaga, the commander of the other 37th Division.

In addition, the No. 1 stationed in Busan

The 43rd Division and the Ono Independent Brigade will immediately be stationed on the Gwangju front line. As a battle reserve for the Mokpo battlefield, all mobilized troops must be carried out at night. We have air superiority and must avoid being killed by the independent division aviation!"

"In addition, send a separate telegram to Kaga and Oshima, instructing them that Mokpo Mokpo is related to the life and death of the Imperial Korean garrison. Before reinforcements arrive, they must hold on until dark, no matter how hard they pay,

Even if the price is high, we are not allowed to retreat even half a step. Even if we fight to the last man, we must keep an eye on the position! After dark, more than 80,000 reinforcements will arrive!"

"In the telegram to the guy on Oshima, add these words: You must obey the command of Lieutenant General Kaga, the commander of the 37th Division, and do not allow any ulterior motives. The generals of the empire should learn this.

Unite sincerely and cope with difficulties together. If I am in Busan and learn that you have disobeyed orders in any way, military law is ruthless and you will be severely punished. I hope you will remember the above points!"

Having said this, General Tanaka shook his head and looked a little melancholy, then said: "Forget it, I will personally send the telegram to Oshima. Oshima's commanding ability is far inferior to Kaga. I usually spoil him.

It has caused him to have a arrogant and arrogant mentality! If possible, when the 53rd Division withdraws from its position to rest, I will adjust the candidate for the division commander!"

Chief of Staff Kamiya was silent. He knew that in the face of the cruel battle, General Tanaka felt helpless towards the generals he usually trusted. The commander of the Oshima Division was no stranger to him. He was usually very arrogant. He was a staff officer.

The commander didn't take it too seriously. As for the other division commanders at the same level, there were only a few who could catch that guy's eye. Probably, in Oshima's eyes, Commander Tanaka was the only one, right?
