Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Han Tie, commander of the Marine Corps, has completely understood the gist of the order from division commander Tang Qiuli. The more than 100,000 troops under his command will be a sharp knife thrust into the back of the Japanese army in the Liaodong Peninsula. It is not unsheathed yet.

The heat has not yet come, but when it comes, it will be a decisive blow that will kill the little devil.

Therefore, during the two days of concealed standby, Han Tie did not dare to slack off at all and was very busy. On the one hand, the troops needed to replenish a large amount of supplies and ammunition. The logistics supply line from Incheon Port to Tokugawa was more than 200 kilometers long.

long and

, the road conditions were not in good condition, so he exchanged many telegrams with Major General Zhou Yushan, the deputy director of the Division Logistics Department and the director of the Peking Joint Service Department, and fought a lawsuit, thus obtaining the convenience of giving priority supplies to his troops.

On the other hand, in the Beidaifeng area north of Tokugawa, sufficient work still needs to be done. The remaining thousands of remaining little Japs cannot be killed immediately, lest they alert the top brass of the Japanese army. Therefore, he gave the special forces with full power to command the operations.

Qi Hanzhi, Chief of Staff of the War Detachment, sent a telegram telling him that encircling but not fighting would continue to create the illusion that hundreds of thousands of troops were besieging the remaining Japanese troops. He would wait for his orders when to attack.

To be specific, he was waiting for the order from the division commander. For this reason, Han Tie also had another quarrel with Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, to persuade Qi Hanzhi to stay and take charge of the command. Han Tie was still reluctant to let Qi Hanzhi return to the team.

,Chu Tianye

He was not very satisfied and said, "Brother! My chief of staff and more than 300 people have been given to you for more than ten days in vain. It's time to return them to me. I also need manpower here!" But

Han Tie brought out the division commander's telegram. Chu Tian accepted his fate.

On the second day of the covert standby, the division command intelligence office sent information to Han Tie. "It was found that along the border between China and North Korea, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, deployed two detachments with approximately 20,000 troops.

The force of more than 8,000 troops is intended to warn and block your troops from crossing the China-North Korea border!" Behind the intelligence, the specific deployment areas and locations of the third and fourth detachments of the Kwantung Army were attached.

The content of the intelligence was concise and comprehensive. With this intelligence, Han Tie knew the deployment of the Kwantung Army troops very well. He clicked his lips and light waves flowed in his eyes. He said to the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Dongshan: "It seems that it is not possible to advance secretly."

It's possible. The detour is too far, so we need to fight again!"

Wang Dongshan said: "The two detachments have less than 30,000 Kwantung Army troops, so they are definitely not our opponents. The key to the problem is that according to the content of the division's command, once our troops start taking action, they will have to march continuously to seize Anton.

All key points on the front line to Gaizhou cut off the retreat route of the Japanese troops in the Liaodong Peninsula. Therefore, we cannot be entangled by this part of the Japanese army, not even delaying time!"

With that said, Wang Dongshan walked to the military map and said, "Moreover, if we want to quickly cross the China-North Korea border, there are several key points that cannot be avoided, namely Jiulian City, Gulouzi, Taiping Bay, and Hushan.

Uiju, Yongcheon and other places, and these six key points, according to intelligence, are the key defense areas of the Kwantung Army, they must be attacked, but how to attack them will not affect the speed of the troops' advancement, but also quickly open the passage.

But it’s quite a nerve-wracking thing.”

Han Tie thought for a while and said to Wang Dongshan: "Chief of Staff, don't discuss it with us. I think a military meeting will be held immediately. All officers above the regiment level will come to participate and brainstorm ideas!"

Before the military meeting began, the head of the communications department of the headquarters sent an urgent telegram from the division command, "The blocking battle in the central Liaodong Peninsula has been successfully concluded. The four divisions of the Japanese Third Army and the 1st and 2nd Kwantung Army

Detachment, under my powerful artillery fire,

Under the aerial bombardment, they suffered heavy casualties and were completely defeated. They fled towards the line from Anton to Gaizhou. All the troops on our blocking line have already launched a pursuit. We order your troops to set out immediately to seize all key points on the line from Anton to Gaizhou and block them.

Stay in the Japanese army’s retreat!”

"Bang!" Han Tie slapped the table and said, "Chief of Staff, this battle is easy to fight. Just in time, we have to hold a military meeting to directly deploy the battle plan and convey the orders of the division commander!"

Wang Dongshan squinted his eyes and asked, "Commander, how are you going to fight?"

Han Tie smiled and said: "Our six brigades are divided into six routes, which correspond to the six key points of the defense of the two detachments of the Kwantung Army on the China-North Korea border. My plan is that each brigade will use a regiment of troops to specifically

Fight against the Kwantung Army blocking the road and the rest of the troops, get rid of the Japs and seize key points along the line from Anton to Gaizhou. In this way, neither will be delayed, and a local strength advantage will be formed in each direction of attack!"

Wang Dongshan agreed with Han Tie's combat plan, but he raised another question, "Commander, although this is careful, there is a problem. Use two brigades of troops to attack the third and fourth detachments of the Kwantung Army. We will cut off

The Japanese retreating troops only have four brigades left. The line from Gaizhou to Andong is nearly 300 kilometers wide. Are the strength of the four brigades weaker?"

Han Tie laughed and said: "The strength of four brigades is enough to cut off the retreat of the little Japanese. I only came up with this idea after seeing the order from the division commander. Listen, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was completely defeated.

They are escaping across the board, with ground artillery fire and aerial bombardment. How many of the Japs are left now? Besides, our troops are still pursuing them. As long as we can block the Japs for a day and a night, it will be enough!"

Wang Dongshan thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. It was rare for such a description to appear in the telegram from the division commander. In fact, the casualties of the Japanese army may be more serious, "Yes, Commander, and, our

The troops are not arranged in a line, but can be relatively concentrated and block the only way for the Japanese army to pass!" He also became happy and said.

After the military meeting began, Han Tie did not waste any nonsense and said straight to the point: "After receiving the order from the division commander, the troops immediately left Tokugawa and quickly occupied the line from Andong to Gaizhou. They maintained it for two or three days, but they were holding back their energy!

The troops will set off immediately! Next, the chief of staff will announce the battle plan!"

Wang Dongshan concisely laid out the marching sequence and the plan to break through the blocking force of the Kwantung Army. Han Tie took over the conversation and said: "Time is urgent, I won't be wordy. Each brigade will stay to fight the Kwantung Army's blocking force. I only ask for one thing.

No matter how you fight, you must make sure that these little devils cannot affect the marching speed of the main force. Of course, it is best if you can eat them in one bite. You still have a chance to participate in the battle to cut off the little devils' retreat!"

"If the battle is too sticky and you can't blame anyone else, just stay here and deal with the little devils. If there is a little devil running behind me on the battlefield you are responsible for, humph! We have an account to settle.

Don’t be the leader of the regiment! After the meeting, all units will be organized to move in immediately, and the headquarters will follow the first group of the Southeast Mobile Corps!"

The brigade commanders and regiment commanders below burst into laughter, but no one dared to take the commander's words as a joke, including the three brigade commanders and a dozen regiment commanders who were transferred from the Southeast Mobile Corps, and the independent division's commanders.

Rules, organization of various field regiments

The system is fixed in peacetime, but in times of war, certain brigades will be mobilized to other corps in an organized manner according to the specific conditions on the battlefield. The commander of the corps will have full authority to command and dispose of it. It does not mean that you are transferred temporarily just because you are transferred there.

Keep an open mind!

Therefore, the six brigade commanders all took out their most capable regiments and served as vanguard troops. Near dawn, the various troops of the northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group were already approaching the border between China and North Korea. In the dim morning light, Han Tie

I jumped off the armored command vehicle and looked at the Yalu River flowing like a silver belt, shrouded in a white morning mist. This is the boundary river between China and North Korea. On the other side of the river, on the defensive position of the Kwantung Army, large and small

The bunker is like a squatting beast.

This heavy fog brought great concealment to the march of the troops. The leading regiments of each brigade had already approached the Japanese positions, but they were not noticed by the Japanese. The first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps faced the Kwantung Army's third

Jiuliancheng's first line defended by three teams.

It was approaching dawn, and a bright white light appeared in the east. The detachment leader, Major General Takashima, had not yet gone to bed. Accompanied by more than a dozen staff officers, he led his guards at the forward position to check the preparations for war. It was not that he did not want to sleep, but that he could not sleep.

, last night, pick up

Upon receiving an emergency telegram from the Kwantung Army headquarters, the Kwantung Army troops along the China-North Korea border were ordered to immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness. If the independent division troops in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula try to cross the China-North Korea border, they will be killed at all costs.

Fight!

The wording in the telegram was extremely harsh. If the independent division troops in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula passed through any commander's defense area, the commander of that defense area would immediately commit suicide by disembowelment as apology. What surprised Major General Takashima was that the telegram

The signature is Lieutenant General Matsuda, Chief of General Staff of the Kwantung Army, not General Umezu, the Commander-in-Chief.

Major General Takashima secretly pondered the reason, "Could it be that the personnel at the headquarters have changed? According to friends at the headquarters, the Third Army and the Kwantung Army's First and Second Detachments fought extremely poorly on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, and the generals lost their troops.

"We are now forced to retreat across the entire line. Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Umezu resigned due to this reason? Chief of General Staff Matsuda assumed the powers of the acting Commander-in-Chief?"

"If the personnel changes at the headquarters are so huge, my friend should have news?" The war has reached such an extent that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has to be replaced. According to Major General Takashima's judgment, it must be extremely bad, and then think about the emergency order he received.

, Major General Takashima had a premonition that the entire Manchuria war situation was not going well!

Under such circumstances, as the captain of the third detachment, Major General Takashima could not sleep carelessly. Therefore, he changed his usual habit and led his guards and staff to the front-line positions of Jiulian City.

, walked around, and what he saw was quite satisfactory to him. It was the Kwantung Army after all, and the soldiers were in very good condition.

In a bunker at a commanding height with a wide view, Major General Takadao stood in front of the observation hole, facing the other side of the Yalu River, and raised his telescope.
