Age of Conquest Reborn

Zhao Yuhe was still secretly regretting that he came at the wrong time and disturbed the division commander's rare rest time. However, Han Tie's telegram said it was urgent or not, but it could not be delayed. It involved the division commander's judgment on the situation in the Northeast.

.

Seeing the division commander's straight-to-the-point question, he replied: "Commander Hantie called, and the three brigades of the 29th Corps that reinforced the battlefield in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula an hour ago have landed at Andong Port!"

"Oh! - How did Han Tie use these more than 50,000 people?" Tang Qiuli was not too surprised. Under normal circumstances, Li Honggang's troops would have arrived in Anton, and this support force joined the battlefield in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

, can play a decisive role. What he is interested in is how Han Tie uses this force. Should it be invested south of Andong, or on the battlefield in northern Andong where the fierce fighting is currently taking place?

If Han Tie invests 50,000 new troops in the southern part of An'an to jointly attack the Japanese Third Army and the remnants of the Kwantung Army's first and second detachments, Tang Qiuli will have a strong impression of Han Tie's ability and height to control the overall situation and the broad field of vision of the battlefield.

His views will be greatly reduced, and he will not trust the newly formed northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group to be handed over to Han Tie.

Zhao Yuhe, who had followed Tang Qiuli for many years and was quick-thinking, immediately understood what the division commander meant and said with a smile: "Commander, Commander Han Tie will immediately devote the troops of these three brigades to the attack on the new Kwantung Army."

During the counterattack of the Second Corps, Commander Han Tie promised in the telegram that the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army will be completely annihilated before ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"Haha!" Tang Qiuli smiled relaxedly, "Han Tie is very calm-minded. He knows the importance!"

Zhao Yuhe also smiled and said: "The three main field brigades of the 29th Corps, with more than 50,000 troops, are deployed on the battlefield north of Andong. They can play a decisive role. The remaining battles are between the northern combat group and

The pursuit troops have joined forces to attack the remnants of the Japanese army that retreated from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. I estimate that the battle on the Liaodong Peninsula will be over in three to five days. Division commander, will the division commander still return to Kailu in eastern Mongolia as planned?"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Han Tie is very strong now. He has troops from three field regiments and sixteen brigades in his hands. It is meaningless to continue to stay in the Liaodong Peninsula. Tomorrow morning,

The commander will return to Kailu in eastern Mongolia according to the original plan!"

The three brigades of the 29th Corps, with more than 50,000 troops at their peak of vigor, were deployed on the battlefield north of Andong and played a decisive role. Under the fierce artillery fire of the Korean Railway's blocking force, the Kantung area suffered heavy casualties.

Military new edition

The Second Corps could no longer hold on and began to retreat across the board. Even the supervising team composed of Japanese officers used light machine guns to beat the Manchurian soldiers who were desperately running back until they were staggering, but they could not stop the retreat.

spread.

As the saying goes, things must turn against each other at the extreme. In some areas, Manchurian soldiers and the supervisory team composed of Japanese officers had a fight and started killing each other. Soon, such fights spread to all the Manchurian troops.

Moreover, the news that the commander-in-chief, Colonel Yokono, had been killed long ago, finally spread, becoming the last fatal straw that broke the Kwantung Army's newly formed Second Corps. At this point, the complete defeat of this cannon fodder unit became inevitable.

Stop the trend.

"What? You repeat it again, the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army has been defeated across the board, okay! I will report to the commander immediately!" Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan put down the phone, turned to Han Tie and said: "Commander, I have received a message from the frontline troops.

Report, the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army has been defeated across the board! Commanders request instructions on next steps!"

A cold light flashed in Han Tie's eyes, and he said succinctly: "Order all troops north of Anton to immediately pursue a full-line pursuit. Tell all brigades and regimental commanders that what I want is to completely annihilate this new Kwantung Army.

The Second Corps, which beat us all day and night, should be dismissed. I want to see the battle report before ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

In the northern part of Andong, artillery fired for several days and nights, and gradually subsided. Under night, in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, more than 80,000 independent division troops were chasing the heels of the soldiers of the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army, which had collapsed.

In the pitch-black night, a devastating pursuit battle unfolded.

After the blocking battle in the northeastern direction of the Liaodong Peninsula turned into a blocking battle, the independent division troops blocked the Japanese 109th Division from Xiuyan in the center to Gaizhou in the west, and the remnants of the Kwantung Army's first and second detachments fought.

The sound of gunfire began to shake the night sky.

The four brigades of Han Tieshou, starting from Andong, deployed their defenses to the west to get ahead of the retreating Japanese army and form a blocking line. After hitting the wall one after another, the Japanese army in the middle had no choice but to turn to the direction of Gaizhou.

,

According to the orders of General Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, the remnant troops of the 107th Division, with more than 10,000 troops, were also rushing towards Gaizhou. Together with the remnants of the 109th Division, they were originally destined to Gaizhou.

The state is the retreat channel.

After retreating from the battlefield of the Liaodong Peninsula, the Japanese Third Army plus the remnants of the two detachments of the Kwantung Army, totaling more than 40,000 people, were all crowded in one direction of Gaizhou. Sadly, General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, learned that Gaizhou

After Gaizhou fell into the hands of the independent division troops, they did not inform all the troops who retreated all the way. In the minds of these Japanese commanders, Gaizhou was still the only safe passage in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Major General Wan Lipeng, commander of the 9th Marine Corps Brigade blocking Gaizhou, did not know that so many Japanese troops were coming towards Gaizhou. He was very happy. Not only the western front pursuit troops, but also the 20th

The advance team of the First Brigade of the Ninth Corps arrived in Gaizhou, and more than twenty advance teams from other brigades also arrived in Gaizhou. Out of thin air, the Ninth Brigade added nearly 3,000 veterans.

Wan Lipeng was not polite at all. He accepted the order and formed seven or eight battalions of mobile troops according to the original organization of the advance team. It didn't matter if they didn't have heavy equipment. The little devil's military warehouse was full of Type 92 heavy machine guns and infantry.

Cannons, crooked light machine guns, and mortars were given as much as they wanted. Immediately, these improvised troops were filled with Japanese heavy equipment, and the sight of them was overwhelming.

The blocking battle on the front line of Roanzi Mountain in southern Gaizhou started with the Japanese 109th Division and the 37th Division. Colonel Xu Lei, chief of staff of the 9th Brigade, deployed hundreds of Japanese artillery in the blocking position and played a huge role.

The role of the Japanese army, sufficient shells, and intensive artillery fire, pressed the Japanese army firmly to the front line of Roanzi Mountain. Under the night, the artillery fire that turned half the sky red broke the exhausted Japanese soldiers into pieces, leaving corpses scattered all over the field.

The fighting lasted until about three o'clock in the morning. The Japanese attacks not only did not stop, but became more frequent. However, the blocking position of the 9th Brigade was like an iron wall, crushing the Japanese attacks again and again. The sound of artillery and gunfire

, making the night noisy and noisy.

However, Wan Lipeng, commander of the 9th Brigade, felt that something was wrong. He said to Chief of Staff Xu Lei: "Chief of Staff, why do you think it's not right to go? You see, since about nine o'clock last night

It started with the first firefight with the Japs, and it has been more than six hours now. Logically speaking, even the Iron Man should take a breather, right?"

"But the current situation is obviously not like this. The little devils are like being beaten to death. They charge one after another. We have fired tens of thousands of Japanese artillery shells that we captured. How many people are there in the little devils?

, why does it feel like the more we fight, the more we fight? Chief of Staff, what do you think?"

Colonel Xu Lei, the chief of staff, had already had such a question in his mind. Now, the brigade commander put forward his own opinion, which shocked him and said: "Brigadier commander, I have long found it strange. Judging from the amount of ammunition we consume,

Judging from the number of times the Japanese troops were repelled, conservative estimates suggest that more than 10,000 Japanese troops were killed. However, the frequency of Japanese attacks and the number of troops remained at the original scale. This only shows that Gaizhou has become a magnet.

!”

Wan Lipeng grinned, "Hiss!" and took a breath of air, "That makes sense, damn, maybe, the little Japs who escaped from the central battlefield will all come to our blocking line. They must be, Chief of Staff,

Report the situation to the headquarters immediately!"

Commander Han Tie's call back confirmed Wan Lipeng's judgment, "I have received all the calls and based on reconnaissance, I have learned that the remnants of the 107th Division of the Japanese Army on the Eastern Front, numbering about 10,000 people, have moved towards Gaizhou. It cannot be ruled out.

, it is possible that the remnants of the Japanese army in the middle route will turn towards Gaizhou after being blocked by our army!"

"Based on this, the headquarters has made the following deployment adjustments. About one-third of the strength of the blocking troops at various points from Anton to the west will be left. The rest of the troops will immediately gather in the direction of Gaizhou. Before the troop concentration is completed, you

The ministry must ensure that the blocking positions on the Gaizhou front line are firmly in the hands of our army! In addition, the aviation force will concentrate most of its air power to provide air fire support for your ministry!"

"I'm so fucking guessing, it's so exciting, all the little devils have come to Gaizhou!" Wan Lipeng slammed the table excitedly and shouted loudly, "Chief of Staff, order the frontline blocking troops not to save ammunition.

There are plenty of them in the little devil's warehouse. At worst, my Wan Lipeng soldiers will all be equipped with Japanese equipment. It's time for our ninth brigade to show its face!"

Seeing the brigade commander's face glowing with excitement, Chief of Staff Xu Lei's heart twitched, "Brigadier Commander, are you worthy of being so happy? If this is the case, there are at least 40,000 Japanese troops concentrated on the front line in Gaizhou. How many of us are there?

The number of troops, including a few temporarily formed battalions, is only over 8,000. Before other troops arrive, we have to fight a hard battle!"

Wan Lipeng chuckled and said: "I know it's a tough battle. More than 8,000 people are fighting against more than 40,000 Japs. It's hard to fight. However, you forgot what the commander said in the telegram. The aviation force is now

It's about three o'clock in the morning, let's hold on for more than two hours, and there are bombers in the sky. What do you have to be afraid of?" he said confidently.
