Age of Conquest Reborn

Of course, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, the commander of the Japanese 107th Division, would not know that his compatriots who wanted to be suicide bombers in Anton City committed suicide in despair after the 6th Brigade of the Independent Division entered Anton.

Song Geping, who took over Anton, was afraid that these corpses would spread the plague in the summer, so he gathered them together. He found a remote place far away from the city and burned them all with a fire, leaving no bones or residue.

The nearly 100,000 Japanese troops did not rest in the occupied area. Instead, they continued their pursuit southward overnight. They were getting closer and closer to the three brigades of the Marine Corps that were carrying a large number of wounded and retreating civilians. However, during the day, the aviation force's blocking operations

, achieved obvious results. In less than a day, the Japanese army could not catch up. And during the day, the bombers and fighter jets of the Independent Division Aviation Force would reappear in the sky, and would once again become a nightmare for the Japanese army.

On the same night, at the Mokpo Pier on the Korean Peninsula, nearly 50,000 soldiers from the 1st to 3rd Marine Brigades were boarding the ship in an orderly manner. When they received a notification from the division commander, the 4th Marines on the line from Andong to Gaizhou,

After the fifth and sixth brigade troops were raided by the Japanese and suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat, the commander of the first brigade, Major General Chen Mengqiao, the commander of the second brigade, Major General Li Bohan, and the commander of the third brigade, Major General Xiao Jinting, sat down.

Can't stand it any longer.

They are all brothers. Huang Wanshan, Cheng Shaoquan, and Jiang Xianliang suffered a big loss, just like themselves. Chen Mengqiao and the other two hurriedly went to see the commander of the Korean Peninsula Theater and the commander of the naval fleet, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, in the car heading to the headquarters.

Up, three

The people were still talking angrily, and they all agreed that if the Japs had not used poisonous gas bombs in a despicable manner, given the combat effectiveness and equipment level of the three brigades, they would not have been able to advance even half a step without killing the Japs with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

, you guys must have made a mistake!

The purpose of their meeting with Tang Qiuquan was to request an immediate return to the original organizational structure. They could not just focus on having a good time at the Mokpo battlefield. The troops of the brothers had suffered heavy losses, and now they were still being chased by the Japs!

As soon as he arrived at the theater headquarters, before they could speak, Tang Qiuquan said with a smile: "The three brigade commanders arrived just in time. They have just received the order from the division commander. The 1st to 3rd Marine Brigades boarded the ship overnight and returned to the Liaodong Peninsula.

, and established a blocking position along the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan, the three transport ships are ready. The division commander's order was rushed, and there was no time to hold a farewell banquet for the three brigade commanders, so we had to make up for it later!"

In terms of affiliation, the Marine Corps is a unit under the Navy Fleet Command. As the fleet commander, Tang Qiuquan is the boss of their boss. Tang Qiuquan's words moved Chen Mengqiao and the other three.

Chen Mengqiao raised his hand and saluted, "Commander, under your command, we fought happily on the Mokpo battlefield. It is an unforgettable experience in this humble position. Now I am ordered to return to the Liaodong Peninsula. In the future, I hope to be killed under the commander's command."

Little devil!" Li Bohan and Xiao Jinting also saluted together.

Tang Qiuquan returned the gift solemnly and said: "I will not go to the dock. Chief of Staff Xin will see off the troops on my behalf. In addition, I have ordered Ma Chaoyang to replenish ammunition and heavy equipment for your troops. In addition, I also specially sent troops from the Southeast Mobile Corps

Three rocket launcher regiments have been transferred to strengthen your troops!

At this point, Tang Qiuquan solemnly warned: "This time you come back for reinforcements. It's a tough battle. The division commander's briefing made it very clear that the 4th, 5th and 6th brigades suffered heavy casualties. Only a few of them suffered heavy casualties."

If the combat effectiveness cannot be restored in months, the defense of the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan will fall entirely on your three brigades. In addition, the division commander also specifically mentioned that the Kwantung Army may continue to increase troops on the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula. Therefore, you

What we are facing is a fierce battle!"

Chen Mengqiao smiled confidently and said: "Commander, please rest assured. In a face-to-face battle between Marine Corps soldiers, the Little Japs are no match. The three rocket launcher regiments are good things. Now, the Braised Little Japs are here!"

Tang Qiuquan laughed, he liked the confidence of the unit commander very much, "After returning to the original organizational structure, you will return to the division command and unified command. If there is any situation, report directly to the division commander. Okay, your soldiers are still waiting on the ship.

Where are you!"

Also on this night, at the Yantai Port in Shandong Peninsula, in the headquarters of the 29th Corps, several officers with general stars were holding a small meeting. The commander, Major General Li Honggang, looked at the telegram from the division commander and told the chief of staff:

Colonel Wang Bingde said: "The situation on the battlefield in the Liaodong Peninsula is not optimistic. Otherwise, the division commander would not have ordered us to mobilize three brigades to reinforce Han Tie's troops!"

Wang Bingde said: "According to the battle situation report from the division commander, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs. Three brigades of the Marine Corps suffered heavy losses, with casualties exceeding 80%. They are now withdrawing to the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan. The division

The reinforcements of our regiment are ordered to assemble at Zhuanghe River, and they must set off by boat tonight. Commander, would you like to confirm which brigades will go to the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield?"

Li Honggang thought for a while and said: "Our 29th Corps is going to the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. That is the icing on the cake. Ma Chaoyang's troops have already fought very smoothly, and Commander Tang of the Navy is here to command. The most we can do

It’s just a side drum!”

"To reinforce the Liaodong Peninsula, it is a timely help. Therefore, we need to send the three most capable brigades and strengthen heavy equipment. They can be drawn from all brigades of the entire corps, so as not to lose the face of our 29th Corps.

The two armies are fighting together, but it is related to the honor of our entire 29th Corps!"

When Li Honggang said these words, the six brigade commanders of the 29th Corps all puffed up their chests, as if they were afraid that the commander would not see them, and their eyes were full of eagerness, as if they were beating up little devils.

Fighting there is secondary, the key is the commander's words, "the most capable brigade!" Who doesn't want to get this honor?

Li Honggang burst into laughter and said: "What are you doing? It's like a monkey offering a treasure. Don't I know how that brigade usually performs? Just Jing Zhanqi, Xu Tingzhi, Guo Zhenmin, you three troops go!"

The three people named by Li Honggang are Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, Major General Xu Tingzhi, commander of the 2nd Brigade, and Major General Guo Zhenmin, commander of the 3rd Brigade. There is no way, this is the habit of the army's combat order.

The troops at the top of the ranking often have greater combat effectiveness than the troops at the back. The three people whose names were called immediately looked like cockfighting cocks, with their faces shining.

The remaining three brigade commanders were dejected, but there was nothing they could do. They knew that the combat effectiveness of their brigade was really not as good as the three troops in front of them. This was not because of the commander's intentional bias, but because of countless bloody battles.

, the ranked rankings, the proven strength, there is no official document from the headquarters, but it is a well-established rule. Often this kind of well-established rule is more effective than the official official document, and all the officers and soldiers of the army follow this!

Li Honggang continued seriously: "This time you are reinforcing the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield and are under the command of the division commander. I want to remind you that this is the first time that our 29th Corps has brigade-level troops, which are directly under the command of the division commander.

I'm ready to fight. If that brigade performs poorly and is named by the division commander, and you come back and see if I don't skin you, then of course you won't be the brigade commander, I can't afford to lose that person!"

"Also, you don't have many opportunities to come into contact with the division commander, and there is no precedent of being personally commanded by the division commander. I will only tell you one thing. Division commanders like their subordinate officers to fully express their opinions, especially when formulating combat plans. Tips

There is only one son, so if you don’t understand, just ask. After thinking about it, I estimate that there will definitely be a big battle to be fought in the Liaodong Peninsula. The possibility of the division commander coming to take command in person is very high. Jing Zhanqi, you three are lucky.

I can learn a few tricks from my teacher myself!"

Li Honggang made such a call, and the three brigade commanders who were named felt that they were very proud. Yes, they represented the entire 29th Corps. The military meeting ended quickly. Li Honggang and Chief of Staff Wang Bingde, together,

Went to the dock to see off the troops, which was a great encouragement to the officers and soldiers of the 29th Corps heading off to the Liaodong Peninsula!

Watching the troop transport disappear into the sea in the dark night, Li Honggang said: "Chief of Staff, it's time for us to set off. The Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula is full of heroes!" According to normal rules, the 29th Army who reinforced the Liaodong Peninsula

The corps troops should be personally commanded by Li Honggang, or at least by Wang Bingde, chief of staff of the corps. However, considering that the division commander is personally commanded, this rule is waived.

In Tokugawa, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the Kitada Peak Mountains to the east, the battlefield was used to suppress the 43rd Division of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops. In a dense forest, there were more than a dozen tents, which served as the temporary headquarters of the independent division marines.

Stationed here, in one of his own tents, the angry roar of the commander, Major General Han Tie, came out, "You fucking kid is despicable and shameless! He even used poison gas bombs, causing tens of thousands of casualties in my troops!"

Han Tie's eyes were burning. He paced back and forth in the open space of the tent, breathing heavily. Han Tie's heart was bleeding. Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured in the first battle. The three main brigades defeated almost the entire army.

Although most of them were wounded, there was no hope of recovering their strength within a few months. When he saw the battle report from the division commander, his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

Several other brigade commanders, including the three brigade commanders of the Southeast Mobile Corps, also had pale faces. The 4th, 5th and 6th brigades retreated along the line from Gaizhou to Andong, which exceeded everyone's expectations and was even more shocking.

What they were angry about was that the Japs ignored international conventions and openly used poison gas bombs on the battlefield. If it were a head-on battle, the result of the battle would definitely not be like this!

Colonel Wang Dongshan, the chief of staff, saw that the commander was livid with anger and was confused, so he reminded: "Commander, the top priority is to carry out the orders of the division commander!"
