Age of Conquest Reborn

Colonel Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division, has been very tempered in the past two days, but he is mostly blaming himself. The two main divisions of the Japanese army raided the Marine Corps in the Liaodong Peninsula, which exposed the intelligence division everywhere, especially in

Regarding the weaknesses of the intelligence network in the Northeast, the focus is on large cities and railway lines, followed by county towns and some important towns. Relatively speaking, in rural and remote areas, the intelligence network has not yet been fully developed.

It is a good thing that a problem has been exposed. With Yu Deshui's ability and the efficiency of the intelligence department, this loophole will be closed soon. However, the price is too high, so Yu Deshui cherishes a heart

Feeling guilty, I personally sent a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli. The focus was on self-examination, and on the other, taking full responsibility for this intelligence system failure, and requesting the division commander to severely punish myself in accordance with regulations.

This kind of telegram is not easy to write. I don’t have a very clear idea. I still don’t understand what I want to express. However, I was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. I had already told my secretary not to let anyone disturb me. Why?

...Yu Deshui shouted angrily: "Come in!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and the lieutenant colonel section chief of the Confidential Communications Section of the Intelligence Department came in while observing the expression on the director's face. He couldn't help but be cautious. They say that an honest person is scarier when he gets angry. He is always as calm as a piece of ice.

Director, the first volcanic eruption of rage really made the supervisors of these secondary departments tremble with fear. Among the officers who had just been trained, he was one of them!

To be honest, the head of the Confidential Communications Section never wanted to disturb the director at this time. However, this telegram from the division commander was sent directly to the director, and it was sent with the highest-level password.

. He had to bite the bullet and come here.

Seeing the dark clouds covering Yu De Shui's face, who was about to get angry, the head of the Confidential Communications Section hurriedly said: "Director, there is another telegram from the division commander, and it is sent directly to you!"

"Read it!" Yu Deshui stood up from behind his desk and said.

"Special order from the Division Commander, Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Division. Quickly find out whether the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army has changed his position?" These were the words in the telegram, which the Chief of the Confidential Communications Section read out neatly.

"What?" Yu Deshui's face quickly turned livid, and his cheeks couldn't help trembling. This was a special order given to him by the division commander. In other words, the division commander had already judged that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army was not the original one.

It was General Nanjiro, but someone else, who contacted the Kwantung Army's raid on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Yu Deshui knew it. This was another serious mistake by the Intelligence Department.

Yu Deshui did not doubt the division commander's judgment. It was basically a fact for the division commander to come to this conclusion. However, the intelligence department was slow to respond in this regard. The supreme commander-in-chief who commanded nearly two million Kwantung Army was replaced.

For such a big incident, the Intelligence Department didn't get any information at all. The bad news one after another almost knocked him down and he missed again and again. This was an unbearable blow for Yu Deshui!

Yu Deshui's eyes were extremely complicated. He grabbed the telegram manuscript on the table and tore it into pieces. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Immediately order the Fengtian Intelligence Center Station to find out the current leader at any cost."

The identity of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army. Tell Ma Jiwu, the head of the Fengtian Intelligence Center, that I want to see the real information before 6:00 this evening. Otherwise, he will return to Peiping immediately to report on his duties, and I will send someone else to replace him.

Work!"

Yu Deshui's tone was gloomy and cold. The lieutenant colonel section chief of the Confidential Communications Section couldn't help but shudder. After quickly repeating the message, under the gaze of the director's knife-like eyes, he almost fled to the corridor.

, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and secretly exclaimed: "Oh my God, the director's eyes can kill people!"

There was only Yu Deshui in the office. He was not going to send any telegrams to the division commander asking for punishment. The Intelligence Department had made serious mistakes one after another, which could not be solved by punishment. Suddenly, there was a silent exhaustion in his heart.

He came up, "After I find out the identity of the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, I will personally rush to Kailu County in eastern Mongolia and apologize to the division commander in person. That's the only way!" he thought.

Everyone in the independent division was shocked by the Kwantung Army's sudden attack on the Liaodong Peninsula. When taking countermeasures, Lieutenant General Niyuemon, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, was not idle. After the bombardment,

The 107th Division and the attached Kwantung Army troops of more than 20,000 people responded to the

The Sixth Brigade's Fenghuang Mountain front-line position and part of the Fifth Brigade's position launched a full-line attack. Nearly 50,000 Japanese soldiers, shouting and holding bright bayonets, rushed through the dense vegetation when the dawn of the eastern sky first appeared.

The land of Liaodong Peninsula rushed up with fierce murderous intent.

The charge of the Japanese soldiers was not counterattacked by any independent division troops. In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the main position of Phoenix Mountain was as silent as a cemetery. This further stimulated the fierceness of the Japanese soldiers. They rushed to the positions of the independent division troops.

, there was no one on the position, except for the soil blown up by the shells, the broken bodies buried under the soil, and guns, ammunition, and weapons and equipment everywhere.

The light and heavy machine guns were blown to pieces by the shells. Boxes of ammunition were not even opened in time. The completely earthen trenches were almost razed to the ground. You can also see stains of blood from the trenches buried in the earth.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a scene of soldiers of the Independent Division fleeing in panic after suffering heavy casualties from the shells of the Imperial Army.

"Long live the Empire of Japan! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The Japanese soldiers who occupied the Phoenix Mountain position shouted loudly throughout the sky to celebrate their victory. In their hands, they held the helmets dropped by the soldiers of the Sixth Brigade and picked them up.

On the tip of the bayonet, he shouted wildly and laughed. Nothing can inspire the pride of the imperial warriors more than fighting such a battle. He occupied the enemy's position without any casualties!

Amid the wild roars of the soldiers, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon walked up to the main peak of the Phoenix Mountain position. He was not in an extremely excited state like ordinary soldiers, but was accompanied by a large group of staff officers.

, carefully inspected several positions of the 6th Brigade, and even took off his white gloves, picked up some broken limbs of the 6th Brigade soldiers from the mud blown up by the shells, and observed them carefully.

The staff officers were all very puzzled by the actions of the division commander, "What are you doing? What's so interesting about the broken limbs of the Chinese soldiers who were killed by artillery shells!" Lieutenant General Shin Yuuemon was puzzled by the staff officers.

His eyes showed no intention of explaining at all. He carefully observed the density and depth of the crater, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

The commander of the Shinyuemon division patted the dirt on his hands and said to the chief of staff of the division: "Order the troops to pursue immediately, do not stop, and do not care about the formation. All soldiers, pursue as quickly as possible. If

If my judgment is correct, the Independent Division troops are retreating, carrying a large number of wounded. They cannot move fast. Once they bite the retreating enemy, they must be wiped out on the spot. All troops continue to pursue, and Anton City must be captured before noon!"

"Also, immediately send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Umezu. Our 107th Division has successfully occupied the main position of Phoenix Mountain of the 6th Marine Brigade of the Independent Division. No troops were injured or killed. The enemy troops evacuated the position in a hurry. Now, the troops

A rapid pursuit is underway, and Anton can be completely captured before noon today!"

At the same time, on the Gaizhou front line in the north, the 109th Division of the Japanese Third Army and the attached Kwantung Army's more than 20,000 troops also launched an attack on the main position of the Fourth Brigade and part of the Fifth Brigade position.

The battle broke out across the entire front from Anton in the south to Gaizhou in the north. However, there was no fierce sound of gunfire, only the excited shouts of Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains!

After receiving the battle reports from the two divisions on the southern and northern fronts, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who had always maintained the demeanor of an imperial soldier, could not help but laugh wildly with pride, "Yoxi! This guy Shinyuemon is really good.

I was not disappointed!”

General Umezu Yoshijiro was indeed ecstatic. Under the crisis-ridden situation in Manchuria, he fought such a beautiful victory on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. He defeated three brigades of the Independent Division and Marine Corps without losing a single soldier.

The heavy damage and forcing it to retreat in embarrassment not only reversed the situation in Manchuria in one fell swoop, but also eliminated the threat to Fengtian's flanks. The most important thing was that he needed such a great victory.

Now that Shinyuemon has given him such a victory, unlike General Umezu who is excited, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, and a group of senior staff officers are full of embarrassment and dumbfounded.

, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. The risky attack plan that he desperately blocked has achieved unprecedented success. Talking about the ruthless fact is tantamount to fanning his own mouth.

If I have to evaluate this victory, I can only say that Shinyuemon was extremely lucky. At the beginning, the troops of Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Yokoyama, commander of the Seventh Army and commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Military District, relied on the favorable terrain.

and fortification system

The main defender was defeated, but all the members of the Seventh Army were beaten to pieces. Now, Shinyuemon is the main attacker, but he did not lose a single soldier. He severely damaged the Marine Corps of the Independent Division that swept across the Liaodong Peninsula, and occupied the Andong to

The position of the independent division on the front line in Gaizhou.

Is the newly formed Third Army unit capable of fighting, or is the Kwantung Army unit incompetent in combat? Chief of Staff Matsuda had mixed feelings in his heart, including so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred. He was also worried that if Commander-in-Chief Umezu took advantage of this matter, he would

If you say a few words to yourself, you don't need to say harsh words, you just need to say a few words in an understatement. As the chief of the general staff, won't your prestige in the Kwantung Army headquarters be ruined and you will never be able to hold your head up again?

Then he would become a laughing stock in the Kwantung Army and would have no face to stay. Fortunately, General Umezu did not have such boring thoughts. His thinking had transcended the current battlefield and focused on the entire Liaodong Peninsula.
