Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2551: The Sound of Cannons in Western Liaoning (1)

Feng Jiwu listened to the words of Major General Zheng Yong, commander of the artillery of the independent division, and Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Aviation Group of the Aviation Force, and laughed in his heart, "This Zheng Yong, what a unnecessary worry. If these words are taken seriously

Ask Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang to see if they can spare you?"

Seeing that Zheng Yong wanted to speak, Feng Jiwu stopped him: "Zheng Yong, don't worry, you are still thinking about how to deal with Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang coming to settle accounts after the war in the Northeast is over.

Bar!"

Zheng Yong grinned with a sarcastic look on his face. He was really afraid that those two guys would come to his door. Liu Cui just said, at least be reasonable. That Le Yiqin is really a difficult guy to deal with. Thinking about it, he is indeed redundant.

Worried, he stopped talking.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the senior officers attending the meeting, everyone couldn't help but secretly laugh. Feng Jiwu looked at his watch and said: "It is now 8:15 at night, and there are still more days left before the attack starts.

In less than three hours, the meeting is over. Time is running out, so I won’t leave everyone to eat. I will make up for this meal when the campaign to recapture the Northeast is over. Commanders and brigade commanders, please rush back to the troops to prepare.

Go! The meeting is over!"

The officers all left in a hurry, and only Feng Jiwu and Chief of Staff Colonel Zhang Hansheng were left in the huge conference room. Feng Jiwu said: "Chief of Staff, immediately report the attack time and attack method determined by this military meeting to the division."

refer to!"

In Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, the office of division commander Tang Qiuli was very quiet. There was no tense atmosphere as the war was about to begin. Tang Qiuli had just finished his conversation with Yuan Jinghao, commander of the North China Field Corps. Yuan Jinghao had not left yet. The division commander

Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the General Staff Department, came in with a telegram in his hand, "Division Commander, I received a telegram from Commander Feng Jiwu of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps. The time for the troops' attack has been determined, and it is exactly 11 o'clock tonight!"

Yuan Jinghao muttered dejectedly: "The Niangziguan Garrison Corps was the first to fight. I don't understand. Why not let our North China Field Corps fight first? The division commander is partial!"

"Yuan Jinghao, what are you muttering about?" Tang Qiuli turned around and asked while receiving the telegram.

"I'm not mumbling anything. I just want to say that the Niangziguan Guard Corps is lucky! They got the job of leading the charge!" Yuan Jinghao said reluctantly.

"You...!" Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head, reading the telegram, "Okay! Feng Jiwu's deployment is beautiful, giving full play to the advantages of armored troops and artillery. With this style of play, his shots are like thunder.

A blow, and not putting all the pressure on the blocking troops, well, it has a very overall view of the battle!" He praised repeatedly.

Yuan Jinghao's eyes were running wildly, and his mouth was filled with greed. Tang Qiuli glanced at him and said: "Stop guarding here, go back and prepare. Once the war in the Western Liaoning Corridor begins, if the West

The Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Manchuria are showing signs of retreating, and your North China Field Corps must also take action!"

Yuan Jinghao became energetic and stood at attention, saluting, "It's the division commander! I'm ordering the troops to prepare for the attack!" After walking out of the division commander's room, Yuan Jinghao muttered, "I said Feng Jiwu, you must hit him harder to alert him.

The little devils in Ximan are the best, and they have done me, Lao Yuan, a big favor!"

In the room, Tang Qiuli asked Ge Zhenzhuang, "Director Ge, how is the battle situation in the direction of Gaizhou?"

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "The five brigades under the command of Commander Han Tie are encircling and annihilating the remnants of the Japanese army. The participating troops are the 9th and 8th brigades of the Marine Corps, the 1st and 2nd brigades of the 29th Corps, the Southeast

The third brigade of the Mobile Corps! The battle ahead is fierce, and the remaining Japanese resistance is very tenacious. Commander Han estimates that it will take about twelve hours for the battle to end!"

"The pace of the battle is a bit slow! There are nearly 80,000 troops in five brigades, and they have surrounded and annihilated more than 40,000 Japanese remnants. They have been fighting for more than five hours, and the battle has not been resolved yet. We can't say it is fast. What's the reason?" Tang Qiuli frowned.

asked.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied cautiously: "The terrain conditions of the battlefield are limited. The terrain in the Roanzi Mountain area in southern Gaizhou is complex, mostly dense forests, criss-crossed canyons, and many caves. The troops need to clear out the Japanese troops one by one relying on the terrain to disperse the hidden Japanese troops, and

, the casualties of our troops will exceed previous expectations!"

Tang Qiuli's face straightened and he said: "There is another reason, that is, there is no unified command. The five brigades come from three corps and fight independently, unable to form unified and effective combat steps. Han Tie commands the eleven brigades.

Our troops are seizing all the key points along the line from Panshan to Beining in preparation for blocking the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning area. We have no energy to take care of the Gaizhou battlefield. This is my negligence!"

"Director Ge, immediately issued an order to appoint Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the first brigade of the 29th Corps, as the commander of the Gaizhou battlefield to unified command of all troops. After the Gaizhou battle, all five brigades

The troops are temporarily organized into the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps. Jing Zhanqi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, is the acting commander of the corps. The headquarters is placed under the direct command of the division headquarters!"

"Tell Jing Zhanqi that I only give him eight hours to end the battle in Gaizhou. Then, the troops will go to the front line from Shuangliao to Siping to block the Kwantung Army troops retreating to Xinjing. Also, this

Appointment and notification to the commanders of each corps!"

Ge Zhenzhuang quickly handed over the order just now to a combat staff officer for delivery. Tang Qiuli asked again: "Have Liu Chun's three cavalry brigades in the direction of Saiyinsanda in Outer Mongolia started taking action?"

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "Division commander, Commander Liu's cavalry unit has already started to take action. At present, it has entered the East Mongolia area from East Ujimqin, passed through the Wulagai Grassland, and headed straight to the direction of Aershan. According to Commander Liu's telegram

, the troops progressed smoothly, and were not blocked by the Kwantung Army and local troops of the Puppet Manchukuo along the way!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "This is a normal situation. The Kwantung Army in this area is concentrated along the border, confronting Sun Zhenbang's regiment. It is inevitable that the defense will be empty. As for the local troops of the Puppet Manchukuo, I am afraid they have heard the news.

Even if the commander of the Kwantung Army along the northeastern and northwest border learns that Liu Chun's more than 20,000 cavalrymen intend to control the Bai-A Railway, I'm afraid they won't be able to divide their troops and come to meet them!"

Tang Qiuli searched his mind for all the information about the Bai-A Railway, and said thoughtfully: "Give Liu Chun an order to control the Bai-A Railway line, and not to interact with the scattered troops of the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchukuo along the way.

The troops are entangled, pay attention to collect locomotives and other transportation tools, and protect the train drivers and other technical personnel. Also, the Motianling Tunnel is the only way out of the Aershan and south to Baichengzi. Be careful to prevent sabotage by Japanese spies!"

While Ge Zhenzhuang was recording the division commander's order, he was secretly surprised. The Bai-A Railway, in terms of the geographical location of the entire Northeast, was definitely a remote area that could no longer be remote. If it had not been for his own suggestion, Sun Zhenbang's regiment would have taken the train to go south.

No one would notice the railway line that snakes out from the depths of the Greater Khingan Mountains. How does the division commander know the conditions of the Bai-A railway line?

"Also, Sun Zhenbang is ordered to be prepared to launch an attack at any time. By the way, Director Ge, what position has the direct corps under the command of Chief of Staff Zhao reached?" Tang Qiuli continued to ask.

The situation of all the troops is in Ge Zhenzhuang's mind, "Division commander, the regiment directly under the command of Chief of Staff Zhao, because it is a mechanized march, is advancing very fast. It has reached the Huolin River Basin. It will take another fifteen hours.

Left and right, you can line up on the flanks of the Kwantung Army's border guards!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the speed of action of the directly-affiliated corps. "Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Zhao. When the Outer Mongolia Field Corps launches a frontal attack on the Kwantung Army border garrison, it depends on the arrival of the directly-affiliated corps at the designated time.

As for the location and time, you can contact Sun Zhenbang directly, and the two of you will determine the specific time to launch the attack. The rest will be carried out according to the order in the last telegram!"

Ge Zhenzhuang left in a hurry. The acting division assigned him to the position of chief of staff. The burden on his shoulders suddenly increased a lot and he was very busy. Tang Qiuli was the only one left in the room. He walked to the window and looked into the deep

The night sky and early summer night wind swept across the Eastern Mongolian Plateau, bringing the fragrance of distant pastures. In the blink of an eye, it had been almost two months since he arrived in Kailu, and he actually fell in love with this small town in eastern Mongolia.

"In two hours, the war that will determine the fate of the Northeast is about to begin. It's quite interesting to be in a small county on the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia, commanding a war of unprecedented scale!" Tang Qiuli

Smiled thoughtfully.

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a gentle knock on the door, "Come in!" Tang Qiuli shouted, the door opened, and Mei Ting came in with a plate of delicious food and a smile.

Jinzhou City was shrouded in darkness, and thousands of lights lit up the city's night. The city was as calm and peaceful as ever, without any tension or fear of the impending war. Even the citizens of Jinzhou did not feel the atmosphere of war.

A convoy of military jeeps, trucks, and armored command vehicles passed through the streets of Jinzhou and drove out of the city from the north gate. They soon disappeared into the vast night. The lights of the city gradually disappeared behind them.

In the armored command vehicle, Major General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, was sitting with a relaxed expression. After the military meeting, he led the regiment's capable command team and immediately rushed to the front line overnight.

Under the same night, in the north of Jinzhou, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from various brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps were entering the attack starting point in an orderly manner. Behind them, thousands of large-caliber artillery were arranged neatly. After taking off their gun jackets,

Slowly raising their thick muzzles, in the area between the artillery and infantry, more than 1,500 tanks squatted in the night like steel monsters.

Invisible murderous intent condensed in the dark night, and a war was about to begin.
