Age of Conquest Reborn

Of course, Chief of Staff Kamiya was secretly happy to be able to make that annoying Lieutenant General Oshima of the 53rd Division look evil to Commander Tanaka, and felt an indescribable pleasure, but he saw that Commander Tanaka

With a depressed face, he couldn't help but ask: "Commander, since you have thought of a solution to the problem of the 53rd Division, what are you still worried about?"

General Tanaka said in a low tone: "What I'm worried about is that it's around 10:30 in the morning, and there are still nearly ten hours until dark. For the 37th Division and the 53rd Division, which suffered more than half of their casualties,

For the division, how to repel the attack of the independent division is the most dangerous thing. On the Mokpo battlefield, there is bound to be another bloody battle today!"

"I hope Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor will bless and Kaga will be able to hold on with the existing troops under his command until nightfall. Kamiya-kun, please pay more attention to the situation on the Mokpo battlefield and the mobilization of troops. You will handle general military affairs directly.

Well, I’m too tired, let’s take a rest first!”

General Tanaka, who was walking a little staggeringly, had a shabby back, which made Chief of Staff Kamiya feel nervous. He was shocked to find that his boss seemed to have aged a lot in one morning. This feeling made him very uncomfortable and stunned.

After a while, Chief of Staff Kamiya cheered up and made arrangements for the reinforcement of troops on the Mokpo battlefield.

However, General Tanaka was obviously a little nervous. The whole afternoon of June 27th, the direction of the Mokpo battlefield was unusually quiet. The expected fierce offensive launched by the independent division did not happen. It was replaced by the one in the morning.

After bombing and two artillery attacks, the Japanese 37th Division and 53rd Division were frightened. There were less than 30,000 Japanese soldiers left, but they were not hit again!

The situation was reported to the Korean Garrison Headquarters in Japan. Both the commander, General Tanaka, and the chief of staff, Major General Kamiya, were all puzzled. Taking advantage of the situation to attack is one of the basic principles of the battlefield. After gaining an overwhelming advantage, Mokpo

Why did the independent division troops in the direction not attack continuously?

General Tanaka and Chief of Staff Kamiya, who were locked in the office, analyzed painstakingly for several hours, but still could not come to a conclusion. If the calm on the Mokpo battlefield was due to the heavy casualties of the independent division troops, they had to rest and recuperate on the battlefield.

When mobilizing troops, neither of them believed that the battle in the morning was not even a slight injury to the attacking independent division troops!

Therefore, facing the strangeness of the Mokpo battlefield, Commander Tanaka felt a ray of worry. He seemed to feel that there was a sense of conspiracy in it. It was a pity. As if he did not understand, the three brigades of the Independent Division heading south from the direction of Gunsan

, gave up the attack on Busan and Hwangwang

Prefecture, just like turning to the Mokpo battlefield, the calmness of the Mokpo battlefield turned into another cloud of doubt in his heart. If he had to find a reason to convince himself, it could only be the little-known second-rate commander of the Independent Division, Ma Chaoyang.

Another bad move.

If General Tanaka and Chief of Staff Kamiya knew that the person commanding the operations in Mokpo was Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, the famous naval fleet commander of the Independent Division and the fourth person, they would definitely regret their judgment and almost hit the wall. If

He knew that if the Mokpo battlefield was to consume the Korean garrison troops and even local reinforcements, he would not send more troops to the Mokpo battlefield.

However, General Tanaka did not know all this. Outside the window, twilight enveloped the earth, and a dark night was coming. Chief of Staff Kamiya once again called Lieutenant General Kaga, who was in danger, to confirm the situation on the Mokpo battlefield.

After putting down the phone, Chief of Staff Kamiya said: "Commander, Lieutenant General Kaga is commanding the Imperial Army troops and is in full readiness. There is still no fighting on the Mokpo battlefield!"

General Tanaka exhaled slowly and rested for more than an hour at noon. His mental state was obviously much better, "Kamiya-kun, night is coming. This is the best opportunity for us. The reinforcements can be ignored.

Regarding the restrictions on air superiority, order the troops to move. They must be in place before four o'clock tomorrow morning!"

In the dark night, three Japanese divisions and two brigades, nearly 100,000 troops in the direction of Mokpo, were under full blackout. Along the rugged mountain roads from Busan and Gwangju to Mokpo, the few roads,

Divided into more than a dozen lines, they quickly advanced toward Mokpo. In the middle of the infantry line were artillery pieces dragged by mules and horses. Nearly 100,000 people marched at night. Except for the occasional neighing of war horses, the entire operation was kept in a high degree of silence.

It can be seen that the quality of the Japanese soldiers is quite good. However, the Japanese soldiers who were marching hurriedly, including the search squadron serving as scouts in front, did not see that along the march, in the bushes and behind the cliffs, there were several pairs of sharp weapons from time to time.

They were observing their every move with their eyes. They were the reconnaissance troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps, which penetrated deep into the Japanese defense line of Mokpo. Soon, a series of telegrams were sent to the Korean Peninsula Theater Command.

In Mokpo, inside the Korean Peninsula War Zone Command Headquarters, Tang Qiuquan had just finished a simple dinner. According to his old habit, he stood in front of the military map and silently looked at the situation map of the enemy and ourselves on the Korean Peninsula battlefield. The staff officers and correspondents all knew this Commander Tang.

It is my habit to try to be as gentle as possible when entering and exiting the headquarters tent.

Major General Ma Chaoyang, the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, came in hastily, interrupting Tang Qiuquan's thoughts, "Commander, as you expected, the reconnaissance troops who penetrated deep into the Japanese defense sent intelligence, and the little devils went to the Mokpo battlefield.

More troops, good family

Man, the cost is not small. Preliminary statistics show that there are about three divisions and two brigades, with a strength of close to 100,000 people. Plus the existing Japs in Mokpo, they are a big piece of fat. It is worth a big effort.

Field!" Ma Chaoyang shouted with excitement on his face.

Tang Qiuquan turned around, looked at Ma Chaoyang who was gearing up, and said with a smile: "Ma Chaoyang, you are also a commander of the corps. Sending telegrams is the job of the chief of staff. You have done it all. Let Xin Xiguo and

What is Xu Guangqi doing?"

Ma Chaoyang smiled "hehe" and said nonchalantly: "Since you came here, I will be doing the job of chief of staff!"

Tang Qiuquan shook his head and said, "How are you going to fight tomorrow's attack?"

Ma Chaoyang replied without hesitation: "According to the old rules during the day, tanks cover the infantry, multiple small-scale attacks are repeated, and each brigade takes turns to go into battle, using bombers and artillery as much as possible to consume the little Japanese troops! I see, your

You can use your carbine with one move, but you can use it several times more!"

At this time, Major General Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff of the Fleet, and Colonel Xu Guangqi, Chief of Staff of the Southeast Mobile Corps, came hand in hand. So Tang Qiuquan called a few people and carefully arranged the deployment of the Dawn Attack on the map. Because of the increased strength of the Japanese army,

It greatly exceeded the original expectations. The attack scale, direction and tactics were greatly adjusted, but the daytime attack mode was still the main one.

It was dark at night. Colonel Chu Tian, ​​leader of the special operations detachment of the Independent Division, led his own group and three groups that met near Incheon. There were more than a hundred special operations members in total, wearing Japanese military uniforms, and walking in neat lines.

On the streets of Seoul.

According to the order of the Korean Peninsula Theater Command, Chutian guided the target for the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps that was about to occupy Seoul. The sound of gunfire on the Incheon battlefield had subsided as early as this morning. The Japanese army responsible for defending the Incheon port

The garrison and the Yamato Standing Team, with more than 10,000 men, were attacked by more than 70,000 troops from four brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps. They persisted for less than two hours and were completely wiped out.

Between Incheon and the mountains, there are no regular Japanese troops. Under the cover of night, Seoul, abandoned by the Japanese, is filled with an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness. There are no pedestrians in sight on the empty streets, and the dim street lights give out

In the dim light, every house was closed, and the citizens were hiding in their homes, waiting in fear for their unknown fate. The whole city was like a ghost.

The regular Japanese troops had long since fled without a trace. Therefore, more than a hundred team members led by Chu Tian walked neatly on the street, which was very eye-catching and eye-catching. Many citizens carefully walked through the cracks in doors and half-open windows.

, looking at this group of Japanese soldiers, making various guesses in his mind.

The Japanese have occupied North Korea for many years, and their propaganda to demonize the Chinese has long formed a fixed pattern in the hearts of the Koreans. In the minds of Seoul citizens, the Japanese are much more friendly than the Chinese, including their family members and relatives,

Forced to be transported to the front line by the Japanese

, were taken as hostages during the Incheon Defense Battle, and the Korean Japanese local garrison soldiers who escaped from the battlefield or escaped with their lives and escaped back to Seoul, if they were asked to choose between the Chinese and the Japanese, they would not hesitate.

Stand beside the Japanese without hesitation.

Originally, according to the order of the Korean Peninsula Theater Command, the four groups of the special operations detachment only needed to meet the 7th Brigade coming from the direction of Incheon on several major continents in the suburbs of Seoul. However, Chu Tian believed that,

The task is not that simple.

Since going deep into the Korean Peninsula, he has personally experienced that under the rule of the little devil for more than fifty years, the people on this peninsula have become accustomed to and accepted colonial governance. The entire nation has basically converged with the Korean Peninsula in terms of thinking and habits.

To the Japanese, the Chinese were foreign invaders, robbers who came to plunder their wealth and families. Chu Tian felt this depressingly when he repeatedly went deep into villages and towns for reconnaissance.

Therefore, Chu Tian believes that before the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps enters Seoul to take over the city, he must first lead the team and enter Seoul to understand the situation. Although there are no regular troops of the little devil, who can guarantee that those days

Are the overseas Chinese, or the Koreans who have become Japanese, no longer the secret weapon to attack the troops behind their backs?

The team turned around a street and came to a residential area with obviously more Japanese-style buildings than other places. Suddenly, a closed door suddenly opened, and several black shadows came out of it.
