Age of Conquest Reborn

Faced with the sudden Japanese attack on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, Tang Qiuli's mind remained absolutely clear. He knew that not only himself, but also the all-pervasive intelligence service had fallen into the trap. He could attack in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula

, the one who launched the sudden counterattack must be the main force of the Kwantung Army, and this main force of the Kwantung Army could only be two Japanese divisions that inexplicably went north to Harbin.

From Gaizhou to Andong, the three brigades of the Marine Corps are no longer capable of fighting. Therefore, the above-mentioned areas can only be abandoned, and it must be under the cover of aviation. Otherwise, tens of thousands of

The poisoned wounded could only be the targets of massacre by the Kwantung Army soldiers.

Zhao Yuhe did not hesitate and immediately ordered Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, to quickly issue the division commander's orders to the relevant troops and local governments. After the most urgent matters were dealt with, Zhao Yuhe suggested: "Division commander, three Marines

The brigade has nearly 50,000 troops, and more than 70% of the soldiers have been poisoned. Retreating is a huge pressure. I suggest that the local government on the front line from Anton to Gaizhou be ordered to do their best to organize vehicles to help the troops transport the wounded!"

"Also, with so many poisoned and injured people, I am afraid that given the personnel and conditions of the three brigade field hospitals, it is impossible to treat them in time. The division logistics department should be ordered to quickly organize a large number of military doctors from all units and allocate medicines to the areas from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe.

, responsible for treating the wounded!"

"Okay, Yuhe, let's issue the order according to your opinion!" Tang Qiuli did not hesitate and immediately agreed with Zhao Yuhe's opinion.

When Tang Qiuli rushed to the headquarters, a ray of dawn appeared in the eastern sky. More than fifty minutes had passed since he received the emergency telegram from the Liaodong Peninsula troops. No one knew the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield at this moment.

After hearing that there was an emergency, officers from all departments of the division rushed to the headquarters. The first order Tang Qiuli issued was to the Director of the Intelligence Department, Yu Deshui. However, the content of the telegram was not serious, and he knew

, the Intelligence Department is not omnipotent. At this time, the blame

The Intelligence Department was undoubtedly furious, "Director Deshui of the Intelligence Department, orders your department to quickly find out the number and name of the Kwantung Army unit that attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the name of the commander! In addition, find out the number of the third Japanese army heading north to Harbin.

Did the two army divisions arrive on time?"

After handling these matters, Tang Qiuli lit a cigarette, and while waiting for the follow-up telegram from the Liaodong Peninsula troops, he organized his thoughts. He had a feeling that it was definitely not the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, who used the trick to conceal Chen Cang.

The general's tactics, I have been dealing with Nanjiro for many years, and I am familiar with his routines. Overall, Nanjiro's military command ability is extremely mediocre, and his tactical methods tend to be conservative.

This time, choosing to use the Liaodong Peninsula as a breakthrough point to launch a counterattack requires the commander to have great courage and skillful command capabilities. The two divisions of the Kwantung Army, with at least 50,000 to 60,000 troops, can assemble without anyone noticing.

The Fengtian area requires not only careful planning in terms of tactics and strategies, but also a great risk. Otherwise, once the plan is exposed, what awaits the Kwantung Army on the Liaodong Peninsula will be an independent division with unprecedented strength.

At least the six brigades commanded by Han Tie will come back in time. Also, the originally planned three brigades of the Marine Corps and the forces in the Liaodong Peninsula total more than twelve brigades and only two divisions in Guandong.

Army, didn't you come to die?

Choosing this offensive node requires a clear study and judgment of the entire Northeastern war situation and even the Far East and Korean Peninsula war situations. On the whole, only the Liaodong Peninsula is the place where its own military strength is temporarily weak. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has a very clear vision.

Poison, I caught the most critical point right away!

"Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has been replaced?" Tang Qiuli thought about this possibility, "Yuhe!" he shouted.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came over quickly, "Yuhe, send another telegram to the Intelligence Department to quickly find out whether the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army has changed his position?"

Zhao Yuhe was so surprised that he asked: "Commander, are you saying that the person leading the attack on the Liaodong Peninsula is not the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army Nanjiro, but someone else? Yi Shuai of the Kwantung Army is not a general.

It’s such a small thing, how come our intelligence system didn’t get any information at all? Impossible!”

Tang Qiuli shook his head slightly and said: "Yuhe, everything is possible. The Kwantung Army's counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula this time was so secretive in its actions, so cunning in its tactics, and so accurate in its placement. Think about it, it was Nanjiro's consistent command.

Style?”

Zhao Yuhe Moran, although he did not believe that the Kwantung Army had changed its commander, the division commander's analysis just now was irrefutable. Zhao Yuhe was also very familiar with Nanjiro and his counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula.

, it is not the same method at all. Sure enough, the Kwantung Army has become easy to command. Then, this new opponent, who is unknown, will give the independent division troops a powerful blow as soon as they come up. This person's commanding ability and means of conduct cannot be underestimated. He is a powerful enemy.

!

Zhao Yuhe temporarily put aside his worries about this unknown opponent and raised another key question, saying: "Commander, there are no our troops on the line from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe in the Liaodong Peninsula. With most of the casualties, we need to withdraw."

With tens of thousands of wounded, the 4th to 6th brigades of the Marine Corps retreating here may not be able to stop the Japanese army from continuing to attack the south. Should we order the 1st to 3rd brigades of the Marine Corps on the Mokpo battlefield to immediately break away from the battle and return to Liaodong?

Deploy a defense line on the peninsula?”

Tang Qiuli sighed and said: "Alas! I decided at the beginning that the three brigades of the Marine Corps would stay on the Mokpo battlefield for two more days. Now it seems that it was a fatal mistake. Okay, Yuhe, give the order.

!The troops must arrive at the line from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe this evening!"

"In addition, Li Honggang's 29th Corps is ordered to mobilize three brigades of troops and march directly to the Liaodong Peninsula. All troops in the Liaodong Peninsula will be unified under the command of the division. I hope Liu Cuigang's aviation force can buy us a day.

!”

"Order Han Railway, the Tokugawa battlefield in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, even if the fighting is not over, the main force must be evacuated. The assembly point is the China-North Korea border area, waiting for the order from the division commander, determining the next direction of action, leaving a

Brigade, continue to clear out the remnants of the Japanese 43rd Division. The place where I, Tang Qiuli, was forced to abandon, cannot be easily obtained, the Japanese army will pay the price!"

When he said these words, Tang Qiuli's eyes shot out a cold light, and Zhao Yuhe immediately grasped the key, "Commander, what you mean is that although we were forced to abandon the line from Gaizhou to Andong, with the movement of Guandong

The army's offensive troops continued to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Liaodong Peninsula, giving us an opportunity to attack from both sides? The troops commanded by Commander Han Tie withdrew from the Beidafeng Mountains to achieve this goal?" He made a cautious judgment.

"Yes, that's what I meant!" Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "The Kwantung Army only has two divisions and three and a half brigades, with a strength of less than 100,000 people, which is not enough to sweep across the Liaodong Peninsula.

I judge that the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army will definitely continue to

If more troops are sent to the battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula, then in the Northeast, only the remaining two divisions of the Japanese Third Army still stationed in Vladivostok are mobile forces. That's good, the uncertain factor of the Third Army will finally no longer interfere.

Our overall campaign plan is here!”

Zhao Yuhe became excited and immediately gave orders to Han Tie. In fact, Tang Qiuli had this battle idea only in a passive situation, and it was also made based on the changes in the battlefield situation. In his heart, there was a faint feeling in his mind.

Painfully, the intention of the Japanese Third Army and the three Marine Corps brigades were determined. The price paid was too high. Most of the casualties were optimistic. I am afraid that the vitality will be seriously damaged and they will have to be transferred back to North China to rest.

Peiping, the headquarters of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division, Colonel Yu Deshui, the director of the division. This person who has always been calm and calm and never loses his temper, today, got furious. His face was ashen and he banged the table. The supervisors of several departments were drooping.

Head, listening to the director's thunderous fury.

At this moment, Yu Deshui was thinking about hitting the wall. The intelligence office, which was said to have an intelligence network covering the entire Northeast and was all-pervasive, actually made such a major mistake. The Japanese army in two divisions, numbering tens of thousands, built a plank road.

, secretly concealing Chencang, this ancient Chinese strategy, actually escaped the eyes of the entire Northeast intelligence system. This was an unforgivable mistake, and the cost of the mistake was actually huge. Three brigades of the Marine Corps suffered more than half of their casualties.

After receiving the telegram from the division commander, Yu Deshui almost vomited blood. Then, the information from the Harbin Intelligence Station also came, "It has been found that after the Japanese troop transport train going north, no large number of Japanese soldiers got off the train after arriving in Harbin.

, we suspect that this is a trick of the Japanese army!"

"In addition, the intelligence station in Mudanjiang discovered afterwards that a large number of Japanese troops took cars and headed towards Dunhua two days ago. Our station immediately ordered the intelligence stations along the way to quickly find out the matter. Now it can be determined that they set off from Vladivostok and were on their way to Dunhua.

The 07th Division and the 109th Division of the Japanese Third Army got off the train in Mudanjiang. Follow-up reconnaissance is in progress. If there is any new situation, please report it immediately!"

Yu Deshui listened to the words of the chief of the telecommunications department with cold eyes, and then squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "An afterthought!" Indeed, Yu Deshui was furious, and the little devil was on the line from Anton to Gaizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula.

, there was already a big fight, and the information only reached the headquarters. Isn’t this a typical hindsight!

Yu Deshui reviewed this serious mistake. He believed that the Harbin Intelligence Station's mistake was very serious, but the main responsibility still lies with him. It is not Yu Deshui's style to blame all mistakes on his subordinates. He pointed out sternly

After discovering the mistakes of several functional departments, he kicked out all the section chiefs, took matters into his own hands, and sent a telegram to the division commander, asking the division commander to deal with him seriously.

Before he finished writing the telegram, there was a gentle knock on the office door, interrupting his train of thought. Yu Deshui shouted angrily: "Come in!"
