Age of Conquest Reborn

Since Tang Qiuquan took charge of the war situation on the Korean Peninsula, Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, left battlefield decisions to Tang Qiuquan. He mostly did the work of chief of staff, obviously stealing the chief of staff of the fleet, Major General Xin Xiguo, and the chief of staff of the Corps.

With Colonel Xu Guangqi's job, the two of them had no choice but to demote themselves as Commander Ma's assistants and do some auxiliary work. They felt quite depressed.

Seeing Xin Xiguo and Xu Guangqi come in, Ma Chaoyang said in a very good mood: "The two chiefs of staff are coming together, there must be something important?"

Xin Xiguo and Xu Guangqi rolled their eyelids and said to themselves: "You still know that we are the chief of staff? You have taken away your jobs!"

"Commander Ma is right. There is indeed a situation. The theater command has just received a telegram from Seoul. Colonel Chu Tian, ​​acting commander of the 2nd Brigade, commanded a small and capable force. With the cooperation of the special operations detachment, the army has been annihilated.

Most of the Japanese militants have been killed, and now the Second Brigade troops have begun to enter Seoul and officially take over the city. In addition, the Second Brigade Chief of Staff, Colonel Huang Xiaosheng, requested the theater command to send professional administrative personnel to take over Seoul!" Xin Xiguo said.

Tang Qiuquan was very satisfied. Chu Tian's outstanding performance made him happy. He was the first captain of the special operations detachment and had devoted countless efforts. Of course, he hoped that the old army could maintain a good fighting style as always. Tang Qiuquan knew better that such a huge

Seoul has been ruled by the Japanese for more than 50 years, and all kinds of relationships are intricate and complicated. The hidden dangers of Seoul can be quelled overnight, and Chu Tian is indispensable!

So, Tang Qiuquan said with a smile: "Chu Tian did a good job. Is he quite qualified as the acting brigade commander? The top priority is to select professional administrative personnel. After entering Seoul, we began to effectively manage the city. However,

We in the Korean Peninsula Theater do not have talents in this field, so we can only ask for help from the division commander. In addition, my opinion is that the Seoul Garrison Command will be established based on the Second Brigade. The candidate for this commander will be Chu Tian for the time being.

!”

"The reason why Chu Tian was appointed as the Seoul Security Commander is because we have just occupied Seoul, and the foundation of Japanese rule for more than fifty years cannot be eliminated in a short time. Those hiding in the corners,

The Japanese who are unwilling to give up will definitely be ready to take action, and they need an officer with rich experience in urban combat who can command special operations forces to maintain security in Seoul."

"Seoul is the center of Japanese rule on the Korean Peninsula, radiating to the surrounding Incheon and other vast areas. Therefore, the Seoul Security Commander must not only focus on Seoul, but also expand to the entire area surrounding Seoul. This is not a large-scale regular corps

Fighting, but dispersed and hidden point-by-point elimination. From the above perspectives, Chutian is the best candidate, what do you think?"

Of course, Ma Chaoyang had no objections. After the Second Brigade Commander Chen Yaoting was killed in battle, he had been worried about the candidate for the Second Brigade Commander. There were no suitable reserve officers. He reported to the division commander for approval that Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, could serve as the Second Brigade Commander.

, which is great news for the Second Brigade. Moreover, this Brigade Commander Chutian is also proficient in urban combat and special operations. The Second Brigade is responsible for the security tasks of Seoul and surrounding areas. It is commanded by Chutian and will not suffer any loss in its custody.

!

Just as Ma Chaoyang was about to express his position, the fleet chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo, gave a wry smile and said: "Commander, please don't rush to confirm Captain Chu's performance. While reporting on the situation in Seoul, Captain Chutian also gave instructions to the division.

, the theater headquarters and the corps headquarters sent telegrams

, resolutely requested to resign as acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade. Chief of Staff Xu and I came here just for this matter. So far, the theater command headquarters has not received an order from the division commander. Should we study it and

The opinions of our theater headquarters will be reported to the division commander!"

"Huh?" Tang Qiuquan was stunned and asked strangely: "You mean that Chu Tian is unwilling to take up the position of brigade commander? What's his reason?" Tang Qiuquan was secretly angry in his heart, "This Chu Tian is too disrespectful.

Now you understand, it’s true that the Special Operations Detachment is an elite force and its status is important enough, but you, Chu Tian, ​​can’t stay in the Special Operations Detachment all your life, right?”

"If the special operations detachment is not expanded, it will end up being a regiment-level unit. Now, there is an opportunity to go to the field force and serve as a brigade commander. The military rank will also be promoted to major general, and officially enter the ranks of independent division generals.

In the future, after achieving outstanding military exploits, he will become a corps

The commander was a no-brainer, and it would be of great benefit to his future future and promotion. However, this lumpy-headed guy actually submitted his resignation less than ten hours after taking office, and also directly sent the telegram

It was sent to the teacher’s finger, which made me really angry!”

Tang Qiuquan's purpose in doing this was to consider Chutian's future. To be fair, Qiuquan was somewhat selfish. The special operations detachment was his old unit, and it can also be said to be his direct line unit. Although he is now the commander of the fleet, the special operations detachment is

The war detachment has always been under his attention. Of course, Tang Qiuquan would like to see his successor stand out and step onto a wider stage.

The special operations detachment is only organized at the regiment level. With Chu Tian's military rank, it is impossible to be promoted to major general. Moreover, the special operations detachment performs some secret missions. In many cases, they are not visible to the light. Tang Qiuquan, who was born in the special operations detachment, is familiar with

Speaking of which, how come

It is not as good as commanding the field troops and winning several great victories. In a word, Chu Tian's military career has reached its peak in the special operations detachment, and it is difficult to develop. But in the field troops, it is completely different. Chu Tian

Tian can move to a higher-level command position.

Tang Qiuquan suggested to the division commander that Chu Tian be appointed as the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps. This was the path he took. Even the successor to the special operations detachment leader already had a target, which was the current special operations detachment chief of staff.

Qi Hanzhi, this guy is simply another Chutian. In his hands, the special operations detachment is still an invincible elite. "This stupid guy doesn't understand my intentions!" Tang Qiuquan sighed secretly.

.

Seeing the commander frowning and asking this question, and his face not looking very good, Xin Xiguo's heart moved and he vaguely guessed the commander's thoughts, but he said calmly: "The reason for the resignation of Captain Chutian is very simple.

One word, 'misleading others and misleading oneself'!"

Tang Qiuquan felt depressed again and said: "Well, since Chu Tian has proposed to resign as the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade, we also respect his opinion. However, the opinion of our theater headquarters is that Chu Tian should serve as the Southeast Mobile

As the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Corps, we will report our opinions and requests for the deployment of administrative personnel to the division command, and ask the division commander to make a decision! What are your opinions?"

Tang Qiuquan's opinion was basically settled. Of course, including Ma Chaoyang, he would not object. On the contrary, Ma Chaoyang was very happy that Chutian could stay in the Southeast Mobile Corps, and handed over the second brigade to Chutian.

, he was even more reassured that the leader of the special operations detachment was not in vain!

After deciding on Chutian's matter, several people studied the next offensive tactics. After the artillery fire on the Mokpo battlefield calmed down for two hours, it began to roar again. The independent division's attack was still the same old routine, attack.

After being repulsed, the division was subjected to overwhelming artillery fire, repeated over and over again. A suffocating offensive and defensive battle was fought on the Mokpo battlefield. It seemed that the Japanese army succeeded every time they defended.

However, every fierce bombardment will cause the Japanese troops defending the ground positions to lose varying numbers of troops. The highest commander of the Japanese army at Mokpo battlefield, Lieutenant General Kaga, the commander of the 37th Division, will be so angry that his teeth will itch.

, but had no choice but to suffer painful losses with the independent division troops, passively defending, and fighting such a battle would undoubtedly be humiliating and painful for the Imperial Japanese Army, which advocates offense.

In the headquarters of the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division in Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in with two telegrams, "Division Commander, I received the message from Chu Tian, ​​the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.

After a night of divisional clearing, the Japanese militants in Seoul City suffered a devastating blow. Our army has completely taken control of Seoul. Now, the troops of the Second Brigade are entering Seoul City and starting to take over all important targets!

"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, "Yes, Chu Tian did a very good job. The huge foundation of Japanese rule in Seoul is very deep. It is not easy to eliminate hidden dangers overnight. It is not easy for him as an agent.

Brigadier, you are quite competent!" There was gratifying praise in his tone.

Zhao Yuhe also felt the same, but this was not the real reason why he met the division commander, "Division commander, don't be too happy first. Brigadier Chu also sent another telegram to the division commander, requesting to resign from the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.

The position of acting brigade commander!" He said with a wry smile.

"Oh?" Tang Qiuli's reaction was similar to that of his cousin Tang Qiuquan. He also widened his eyes in surprise, "Yuhe, what's the reason for Chu Tian's resignation?" he asked, his tone was exactly the same as Tang Qiuquan's.

Zhao Yuhe said: "The reason is very simple, just four words: 'mislead others and mislead yourself'!" "It's over? Is it that simple?" "It's over, there is no other explanation!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head dumbfounded and said: "This Chutian is still a boring gourd. You said that you resigned from the position of acting brigade commander. There must be an explanation. Hey Yuhe, I remember that he was appointed as the second brigade commander.

Acting brigade commander, you only have less than ten hours, right?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander, to be precise, it has been nine hours and twenty-five minutes since the appointment was made by the division commander. I estimate that Brigadier Chu fought all night in Seoul and was so busy that even the battalion of the Second Brigade was so busy.

, I don’t even know Quan, a senior officer!”
