Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, commanded three brigades plus the three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps under his command. With hundreds of thousands of troops, they formed a line in the Kitada Peak Mountains east of Tokugawa in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

The tight blockade trapped the more than 10,000 remnants of the 43rd Division of the Japanese and Korean Garrison in that lofty mountains. It was only a matter of time before the remaining Japanese troops were eliminated.

The tactics formulated by Qi Hanzhi, the chief of staff of the special operations detachment, are very effective. The special operations team members work in groups of three, followed by a small group of elite troops on the ground, followed by a large force. In the sky, there are bombers and fighter jets on call.

The remnants of the Japanese army were gradually compressed into a small area with a radius of only a few dozen kilometers. Moreover, after key strikes, only less than 2,000 of the more than 10,000 Japanese troops remained.

According to Han Tie's estimation, it would take at most two days to completely kill the remaining less than two thousand Japs. He was in a very happy mood, with minimal casualties among his troops, and he also experienced an actual battle in the mountain jungle.

The opportunity for combat training, and Chu Tian’s subordinates are free instructors, can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!

However, a battle situation report from the divisional staff office completely ruined Han Tie's mood. His three main brigades, on the line from Anton to Gaizhou, suffered heavy losses from the Japs. Moreover, they were not

On the battlefield of head-to-head competition, they fell to the poison gas bombs of the Japs. The more than 50,000 well-trained and battle-hardened tiger and wolf troops were almost completely wiped out!

Han Tie was angry, roaring, and full of hatred for the Japanese army. Thinking about how to avenge this arrow, he indeed forgot that in the telegram from the division commander, there were also troops asking him to command. He quickly left the battlefield in eastern Tokugawa.

An order to move toward the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

After being reminded by Chief of Staff Wang Bingde, Han Tie suddenly shuddered and secretly warned: "I lost my temper. I just scolded the little devil and almost delayed my business! I'm not calm enough!"

Han Tie calmed down the anger in his heart and said: "Everyone already knows the order of the division commander. Immediately leave the eastern Tokugawa battlefield and quickly move closer to the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. I estimate that the division commander is preparing to fight in the Liaodong Peninsula area.

It was a big battle. At least, the 107th and 109th divisions who used poison gas bombs on our troops did not escape. Even now, they are still chasing our tens of thousands of wounded soldiers!"

"Although there is no clear order from the division commander, judging from the current position of our troops, it is obvious that we are going to cut off the retreat of the Japs who are counterattacking on the Liaodong Peninsula. There are less than two thousand Japs left in the Beidafeng Mountains, and they are not worthy of our ten

Tens of thousands of people accompanied me. Therefore, I ordered Wu Fengge, commander of the 7th Marine Corps Brigade, to command a regiment plus the strength of the 7th Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion, and to cooperate with Chief of Staff Qi of the special operations detachment. He was responsible for removing the besieged troops.

There are less than 2,000 little devils, kill them completely!"

"Wu Fengge, you have to remember that you will never accept the surrender of the Japs. Moreover, there is no limit on the time for the end of the battle. If you want, you can fight in the Beidafeng Mountains for a year, but the casualties of the troops must not exceed the current

standard!"

Major General Wu Fengge, commander of the 7th Brigade, grinned, unwilling to stay by himself. He had to fight with less than two thousand little devils. He was already meat in a bowl. What's the point of pinching a soft persimmon? He was just about to propose himself.

Han Tie's opinion was glared at by Han Tie. When the words came to his lips, he quickly swallowed them back, stood up unhappily, and accepted the task.

Han Tie continued: "According to the order of the division commander, the remaining troops of the 7th Marine Corps Brigade, all the 8th and 9th Brigades, the 1st Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, and the 4th Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps form the Liaodong Peninsula.

The combat group in the northern part of the battlefield, with me as the commander, is unified under the command of the division commander. The meeting will be adjourned immediately. Each unit has three hours to prepare and withdraw from its current position. Three hours later, each unit will set off from its current location.

The assembly point is Tokugawa!"

The brigade commanders hurried back to the troops. Han Tie left Wu Fengge behind and gave them careful instructions. Qi Hanzhi also led the special forces in the mountains to fight for the final annihilation of the remaining Japanese troops. Han Tie was unable to confront Qi Hanzhi.

Farewell, his heart was full of regrets. In just a short time today, he looked up to the young chief of staff of the special operations detachment with admiration!

As General Umezu Yoshijiro launched a sudden counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula, it triggered huge changes in the Northeast battlefield. It can be said that the previous subtle stalemate was broken. He used the only mobile force in his hand, the other two divisions of the Third Army.

Regiment, all committed to the battlefield of Liaodong Peninsula, trying to complete their achievements in one battle and fully recover the Liaodong Peninsula!

At the same time, according to the order of the division commander, the three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division and the three brigades of the Marine Corps that were withdrawn from the Caimu Pu battlefield were crossing the Bohai Strait and the Yellow River by boat overnight to Zhuangdong on the Liaodong Peninsula.

At the same time, six brigades commanded by Marine Corps Commander Han Tie also left the Beidafeng battlefield in eastern Tokugawa and assembled toward Tokugawa, preparing to return to the Liaodong Peninsula.

Including Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, commander of the Korean Peninsula Theater and Commander of the Naval Fleet, Major General Li Honggang, commander of the 29th Corps, and Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, all guessed that division commander Tang Qiuli was going to the Liaodong Peninsula area.

In a big battle, the target of encirclement and annihilation is all four divisions of the Japanese Third Army.

The generals guessed correctly that Tang Qiuli was indeed carrying out this plan. He ordered the three brigades of the Marine Corps that had suffered losses to withdraw again and again in order to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory and use all the strength of the Japanese Third Army.

Attracted to the central area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula, six brigades of troops were used to establish a solid blocking line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan to curb the momentum of the Japanese army's further penetration.

Six main field brigades, with more than 100,000 troops, established a blocking line on a front line no more than 100 kilometers wide in the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The Japanese army would not be able to break through, and the battlefield would inevitably fall into a stalemate. Then, Han Tie commanded

Six brigades quickly moved in from the northern battlefield of the Korean Peninsula and cut off the Japanese Third Army's retreat along the line from Andong to Gaizhou, eating up all the Japanese mobile forces that suddenly appeared.

Once the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Liaoning Corridor, Western Manchuria, and even the northern border of Northeast China try to relieve the Japanese Third Army, then the battle to regain the Northeast will begin. Therefore, the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula will become the decisive battle in the Northeast.

the trigger.

Late at night, in Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, in a small courtyard within the headquarters of the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division, several rooms were still lit with lights. Staff officers were hurrying in and out. Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division, was giving instructions to the division commander.

Tang Qiuli read several telegrams, "Division Commander, Commander Liu of the Aviation Corps called. The one-day air blockade has achieved the expected purpose. It has blocked the pursuing Japanese troops from my retreating troops, which is more than a day's journey away!"

Tang Qiuli smiled with satisfaction, "Yuhe, what I said is right, Liu Cuigang will definitely do the task very well! Call Liu Cuigang back, and from tomorrow on, we can gradually reduce the number of combat aircraft dispatched to avoid causing trouble with the Japanese army."

The commander must be vigilant, but the distance between the Japanese army and my retreating troops must be kept within a safe range!"

Zhao Yuhe took out several other telegrams and said: "Division Commander, this is a telegram from Commander Li Honggang of the 29th Corps. Three brigade troops from this unit have boarded the ship and are gathering towards Zhuanghe in the Liaodong Peninsula.

, Commander Tang of the Korean Peninsula Theater called, saying that three brigades of the Marine Corps had boarded the ship at Mokpo Port and were on their way back to the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. Commander of the Marine Corps Korea Railway called, saying that the troops had evacuated the eastern Tokugawa battlefield and were gathering in Germany.

In Sichuan City, wait for the command from the commander!"

Tang Qiuli nodded frequently and said: "All the troops moved very quickly! I sent out twelve field brigades, with more than 200,000 troops, to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Third Army. I think I think highly of this Japanese army.

!”

Zhao Yuhe added with a smile: "There are also thousands of combat aircraft of the aviation force, six tank brigades of the armored force headquarters, and two fast gunboat brigades of the naval fleet. Which of us will go into battle on land, sea and air? Division commander, you are here."

It’s a big investment!”

"Report!" Outside the room, a report came from Colonel Chen Feng, director of the division's communications department. Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe stopped talking, "Please come in!" Zhao Yuhe shouted.

Chen Feng opened the door and came in and said: "Commander, I received information from the Intelligence Department. The Vladivostok and Mudanjiang Intelligence Stations of the Intelligence Department learned that the 69th and 71st Divisions of the Japanese Third Army rushed to the direction of Fengtian.

The Beijing Intelligence Station reports that the special train transporting Japanese troops has passed through the Xinjing Railway Station at around two o'clock this afternoon. It is expected that this part of the Japanese troops will arrive at the Liaoyang line around midnight tonight!"

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiu left his heart and laughed, "The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has changed his tactics. He has spent a lot of money this time. Well, no one will be refused. The Liaodong Peninsula is a big bag, which can hold more than ten people.

Thousands of Japanese troops, no problem! I'm sure this is definitely not Nanjiro's method. Director Chen, does the Intelligence Department have any information on whether the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has changed hands?" He suddenly asked.

Chen Feng smiled, took out a telegram and said: "Commander, this information may be of most interest to you. According to the reconnaissance at the Fengtian Intelligence Center Station of the Intelligence Department, we learned that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has been replaced. The former commander-in-chief Nan

General Jiro has been transferred back to Japan, and his replacement is General Umezu Yoshijiro, the former deputy military affairs officer of the Japanese base camp, and this counterattack against our army on the Liaodong Peninsula was carried out by this person!"

"Umezu Yoshijiro!" Tang Qiuli whispered thoughtfully, a little surprised, but not surprised. Some things are really unpredictable. The opponent has changed. In history, the famous so-called famous Japanese general-Umezu Yoshijiro

, has become a new opponent. This person is no stranger to me!
