Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Wan Lipeng, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Marine Corps, saw the exhausted faces of Liu Zijian, the leader of the advance team and more than 100 team members under Jing Zhanqi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, and their uniforms were shaved.

Just like beggars, you don't need to ask, you know what kind of hardships this small and capable team has put in along the way, and how many unimaginable difficulties they have overcome. Although they are not their own soldiers, they are still very distressed.

Therefore, the first thing Wan Lipeng thought of was to arrange for Liu Zijian's advance team to rest in Gaizhou. "Captain Liu, your advance team has a good rest for a day. Don't worry if the sky falls. Otherwise, your Brigade Commander Jing will see me."

"Why don't you get angry with me and ask me how I treat his soldiers?" Wan Lipeng said half-jokingly.

Liu Zijian stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Sir, thank you for your kindness. Zijian can't rest yet. We are the first advance team to arrive in Gaizhou. There are more than a dozen advance teams like this in our first brigade.

They are all on their way to Gaizhou, so I have to stay here and be responsible for liaison!"

"There are more than a dozen similar advance teams?" Wan Lipeng asked in surprise. He was so excited that he could hardly control himself. It was a timely help. Jing Zhanqi was quite interesting. Each advance team had more than a hundred people.

, then he gained nearly two thousand elite soldiers and generals out of thin air. "What a good thing! What a great thing!" He felt happy in his heart.

Wan Lipeng suppressed his excitement and said deliberately and seriously: "Captain Liu, your advance team has been incorporated into the combat order of the 9th Brigade. You should obey my orders and contact other advance teams. Leave it to my soldiers.

Let's deal with it, you immediately lead the team to Gaizhou to rest!" His tone left no room for doubt.

Then, he turned around and shouted loudly: "Combat Staff Officer!"

A young major officer ran over, stood at attention and saluted and reported: "Brigadier Commander, the battle is over, 423 Japanese troops have been wiped out. After interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that the Japanese troops were the vanguard detachment of the first detachment of the Kwantung Army.

.is responsible for contacting the Japanese troops in Gaizhou City for coordination matters!"

"Yeah, I got it!" The result of the battle was as expected. Wan Lipeng didn't mean any surprises and said lightly. Two companies went in, including mortars and light and heavy machine guns. More than four hundred companies were involved.

I can't even kill the little devil cleanly. I can't afford to lose that person.

Wan Lipeng pointed at Liu Zijian and said to the combat staff: "I'll give you a task. This is Captain Liu Zijian of the advance team of the 29th Corps. You are responsible for sending all the soldiers of the advance team to Gaizhou and arranging food and accommodation.

You must eat well and sleep well. From now on, no one is allowed to disturb the rest of the advance team within twelve hours. In addition, tell the cooking team at the brigade headquarters, just like I said, big fish and big meat are enough!"

Liu Zijian was moved in his heart, "Sir Wan, I..."

"They are all soldiers, not your mother-in-law, that's it! Leave your contact information and radio station password! Go and rest in peace, until tomorrow, you won't be able to sleep even if you want to!" Wan Lipeng interrupted Liu Zijian's next words.

, said with a wave of his hand.

Watching the Major's combat staff, taking Liu Zijian and more than a hundred of his team members, leaving in a car, Wan Lipeng rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Hey! It's a timely help! We were short of manpower, but we got more than two thousand veterans out of thin air. Little Japs."

You won’t get a good deal at the blocking line in southern Gaizhou! Hehe!”

"Brigadier Commander, what good thing can you do to make you so happy?" Colonel Xu Lei, the brigade chief of staff who led other troops up, suddenly appeared behind Wan Lipeng. Seeing the brigade commander himself smirking, he asked in confusion

road.

Wan Lipeng was startled. When he turned around and saw that it was the Chief of Staff, he complained complainingly. "Oh, Chief of Staff, can you say hello in advance? Do you want to scare people to death?"

Xu Lei ignored the brigade commander's attitude and kept asking. Wan Lipeng then told the first brigade of the 29th Corps, the Jingzhan Banner Unit, with more than a dozen advance teams of more than 100 people, who would arrive at the Gaizhou front line one after another.

, said it briefly.

Xu Lei was even more excited than the brigade commander. As the strength of the Ninth Brigade continued to thin, having more than 2,000 people with strong combat capabilities would solve the problem more than providing help in times of need. "Brigadier, what a good thing!"

He said mysteriously.

Wan Lipeng deliberately made a sullen face and said: "Well, Xu Lei, you have learned how to tell the truth, haven't you? Tell me, what's the good thing? I'm not afraid of too many good things now!"

Xu Lei said proudly: "Brigade commander, Gaizhou is the logistics supply base for the Japanese army on the middle and west roads. We are lucky. The Japanese army in the city did not have time to destroy the material warehouse. Hey! There are more than 200 Type 92 infantry guns.

, and thirty-five gates

The artillery is brand new and shiny, and there are hundreds of thousands of shells. I will collect them all according to the order, and bring them all over and deploy them on the blocking line, especially in the southern front of Gaizhou, which is where we are now in the Roanzi Mountain area.

Tell me, is this a good thing?"

With a "bang", Wan Lipeng raised his hand and punched Xu Lei in the chest, "Hahaha! They say that you, Xu Lei, are a lucky general. This is true. With these more than 200 artillery pieces, you can retreat."

The little devil drank a pot, although the little devil's Type 92 infantry

The artillery is indeed not very good. It is far from our heavy artillery regiment, but we are in need of it now. We are about to receive more than 2,000 soldiers from Jing Zhanqi. You also got more than 200 little Japs.

Pao, now, I'm really looking forward to the little devil coming soon!"

"Hahaha!" The two bosses of the 9th Marine Corps Brigade laughed as if no one else was watching. The soldiers who were busy digging fortifications around them couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, Chief of Staff, Gaizhou

How many garrison troops are left?" Wan Lipeng suddenly stopped laughing and asked.

Xu Lei replied: "One engineer battalion, plus a company from the reconnaissance battalion, and the brigade headquarters are enough. I have brought all the other troops!"

Wan Lipeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, the arrangement is reasonable. You immediately send a telegram to the commander to report that our ninth brigade and all control all key points on the Gaizhou front line. The troops are building fortifications. In addition, we have contacted the 29th Brigade."

The advance troops of the Jingzhan Banner Division of the 1st Brigade of the Corps have made contact, and the 9th Brigade is confident enough to stop the retreating Japanese troops on the middle and west roads in the area south of Gaizhou!"

Xu Lei immediately handed over the brigade commander's order to the communications staff for processing, and then he said with a gloating smile: "Brigade commander, just wait for the commander's training. Two hours after departure, you will order the shutdown

All radio stations in the brigade headquarters are maintaining radio silence. It has been more than ten hours and there is no news from the 9th Brigade. The situation is unknown. Isn’t the commander so anxious that he jumps off his feet?"

"Go and gloat! Isn't this just a constant march and a hit and run? There is no time to contact you. You know, besides, your chief of staff also has a responsibility, right? The commander wants to train people, and you can't run away!" Wan Lipeng thought of the commander.

Han Tie looked furious and was frightened, but he fought back unwilling to be outdone.

Anton, Marine Corps Headquarters, occupied the four brigades on the line from Anton to Gaizhou, and the other three brigades have sent telegrams to the headquarters, "Our unit has arrived at the designated location and controlled the mission stipulated.

The main point is to intensify the construction of fortifications to fight against the retreat!" Only Wan Lipeng's 9th Brigade has no news yet.

The radio station of the headquarters kept in contact, but the ninth brigade seemed to have evaporated. Han Tie was so anxious that he was circling back and forth in the headquarters, leaving his cigarette butts on the floor. At this time, the communications staff came in excitedly.

, handed Han Tie a telegram, "Report to Commander, received a telegram from the Ninth Brigade!"

Han Tie grabbed the telegram and read it quickly. "Bah!" he slammed the telegram on the table and shouted: "You Wan Lipeng, you have finally shown up after more than ten hours. I don't care."

He has now completed the task assigned by the headquarters. If he does not contact him for more than ten hours, Wan Lipeng will be punished. Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to the Ninth Brigade in the name of the headquarters. Punishment! It must be punished!

Punishment!"

Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan said with a smile: "This is a punishment, Commander, in what name? I delayed the fighter plane or failed to complete the set mission. You have to give me a framework! Moreover, it must be a justifiable reason.

No, Brigadier Wan complained, what should the headquarters do?"

"You...!" Han Tie pointed at Wang Dongshan and had nothing to say. Suddenly, he burst into laughter, "Okay, let's talk about the punishment later. This guy Wan Lipeng did a good job.

Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the division commander immediately. From the 9th Marine Corps

After the brigade successfully completed the task of capturing Gaizhou, the line from Anton to Gaizhou is all under the control of our northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group! In a word, the trend of closing the door and beating the dog has been formed! In addition, our brigades,

They all got in touch with the advance team of the pursuit force!"

Jiuzhai, the Temporary Headquarters of the Independent Division in the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates this small farmyard with green trees in a bright red color. The back of Tang Qiuli, who is standing in meditation in front of the map, is shrouded in psychedelic light.

In the meantime, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in and said: "Division Commander, good news, Commander Han Tie called, the 9th Brigade has occupied Gaizhou, the blocking troops have all contacted the advance team of the pursuit corps, and the blockade from Anton to Gaizhou

Line, perfectly closed!”

Although it was expected, Tang Qiuli was still worried about the situation in the Gaizhou direction until there was no clear news. There was no news for more than ten hours. Just now, he was even thinking about what would happen if Han Tie's troops were not sealed off on time.

After the Japanese troops retreated on the Gaizhou front line, what remedial measures should be taken?

Although the remnants of the Japanese army that retreated from the central battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula escaped the fate of being annihilated and would not have a big impact on the entire Northeastern battlefield, it was not a perfect ending for the Liaodong Peninsula campaign.

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. All his worries were gone. He took the telegram and after reading it, he said with admiration: "Han Tie's classic words are like closing the door and beating the dog."

The business has been formed!!”
