Age of Conquest Reborn

After coming to this conclusion, Han Tie and Wang Dongshan were so excited that they almost danced. If it were not for the presence of dozens of staff officers and female radio operators in the headquarters, Han Tie would never have thought that a battle was destined to happen.

A blockade battle with heavy casualties will look like this.

The northern Liaodong Peninsula combat group was formed from three corps, based on the Marine Corps, including three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps and six brigades of the 29th Corps, except for the five brigades led by Jing Zhanqi.

In addition, the remaining 11 brigades are concentrated on the line from Panshan to Beining in western Liaoning to block the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops retreating from western Liaoning. Nearly 200,000 people face the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops, with a strength difference of one to one.

More than times.

Han Tie knew that this blocking battle would definitely keep more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers on the land of western Liaoning, but the casualties of the troops would probably be an unacceptable number. Even in Han Tie's heart, the battle of western Liaoning was already over.

After that, the troops were mentally prepared for more than half of their casualties.

In just one day of fierce fighting, the army suffered more than 30,000 casualties, which is enough to prove this. However, everything has changed now. The Kwantung Army's on-site defense is a good thing that I can only dream of. Taking this opportunity, the army can continue to build and consolidate

The fortifications, together with the Feng Jiwu Corps that pursued them all the way from the Daling River, surrounded more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops on the battlefield in western Liaoning. The Kwantung Army continued to attack, which was not good for itself. It would be a surprise if the Kwantung Army defended on the spot.

!

What Han Railway is not afraid of most now is confrontation. With aerial supplies from aviation transport aircraft units, the land logistics supply lines from Andong and Yingkou to the battlefield will take an extra ten days and a half. Nothing will happen. On the contrary, the encirclement circle

The Kwantung Army soldiers inside have been cut off from supplies and can only consume the ammunition and supplies they carry with them. There are more than 400,000 people. How many days of consumption can the ammunition and supplies they carry with them last?

I am afraid that after seven or eight days, more than 400,000 little Japs will not even have the strength to hold a gun. How could Han Tie not be ecstatic? Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan grinned happily and suggested: "Commander, this is a great thing."

The news is that the commander of the Kwantung Army made a mistake, which is his own destiny. Please report this information to the division commander immediately, right?"

Han Tie thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No! We are only making a preliminary judgment now. Maybe the little devil is recharging his energy, and he might go crazy tomorrow. Wait and see, throughout the whole day tomorrow, if the little devil still doesn't

Launching an attack proves the accuracy of our intelligence, and it will not be too late to report it to the division commander!"

Han Tie kept an eye on it and told Wang Dongshan: "Order the offensive brigade on the Beining front line to send out reconnaissance troops to go deep into the mountainous areas of northern Liaoning to conduct reconnaissance, especially the transportation arteries and rivers from Fuxin to Fengtian.

Don’t be afraid of the situation of the bridge on the road, and be sure to understand the situation clearly!”

Wang Dongshan's mind reacted very quickly, "Commander, are you worried that the Kwantung Army cannot attack our blocking line, so you want to bypass it and go north to Yi County, Fuxin, and then turn around to the northern route of Fengtian?

It’s impossible. The distance of more than five hundred kilometers is still in a mountainous area, and there is a lot of rain in summer. Just those swollen rivers can drag them to death. I don’t think the Kwantung Army commander would be so stupid!”

But Han Tie shook his head and said: "To the south is Liaodong Bay. The kid must not jump into the sea. Only the north route is possible. If we are forced, we can think of any tricks. We must be on guard.

Take the little devil's hand and give it to the scout

In the order, it should be emphasized that the focus of reconnaissance is mainly in the direction of Yixian and Fuxin. If the kid is found to be moving towards the mountainous areas of northern Liaoning, report it directly to the headquarters. Hum! If the kid really dares to do this, then

You will die faster!"

The sky in the east showed a faint bright white color. Han Tie walked out of the headquarters, took a breath of the air smelling of gunpowder smoke, and looked towards the direction of the Daling River, where there was a faint sound of artillery, "It seems that Feng Jiwu

The Corps' attack on the Kwantung Army didn't stop all night, but Feng Jiwu was so ruthless that he didn't let the little Japs stop even at night!" He thought to himself.

Contrary to Han Tie's evaluation, Major General Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, did not think so. After receiving the order from the division to advance steadily and gradually compress the Kwantung Army's battlefield space, his feeling was that although it was safe, he could take advantage of the chaos to annihilate the Kwantung Army.

The number of enemies will be greatly reduced. As for the armored assault group commanded by Battelle, if there is no order from the division commander, at least one division of the Kwantung Army can be captured overnight, and the follow-up troops will arrive.

And can be surrounded and eaten.

Now, the style of play has changed, from a rapid assault to a front-line push and a steady attack. Battelle, who was called off, did not have any objections to this. The various brigade commanders under the corps were extremely uncomfortable and called their phones one after another.

Hit the Corps

The tone of the headquarters was almost the same, "I'm looking for the commander! What happened? Our brigade was in the mood of fighting, and we saw that after a few hours of pursuit, we caught nearly 10,000 little Japs, but suddenly we stopped.

Did the Corps give the wrong order?"

Facing the confusion of more than a dozen brigade commanders, Feng Jiwu told Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng, "Answer them, stop talking nonsense and execute the order. This is the division commander's wish! Keep your opinions to yourself!"

Zhang Hansheng put down the phone and said with a smile: "Commander, let alone the brigade commanders below who don't understand, even I feel uncomfortable. What a great opportunity to annihilate the enemy!"

Feng Jiwu said: "I understand the division commander's intention. If our attack is too fierce, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops will be pressed hard to break out in the direction of Fengtian. The pressure will be all on Han Tie, he will not

With a force of 200,000, it is already a difficult task to stop the Kwantung Army of more than 400,000, and it is not easy to march hundreds of kilometers without even catching your breath before jumping into battle!"

"Moreover, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area are surrounded here. They are a big fat piece of meat, but it is difficult to swallow it in one bite. The trapped beasts are still fighting. I am afraid that the casualties we will pay will not be small. Let's simmer slowly, and gradually

Consume them and annihilate them in one fell swoop. The division commander’s intention is to achieve the final victory in the Liaoxi Campaign at the minimum cost!”

While the two were talking, Battelle, who was covered in military dust, walked into the headquarters. Feng Jiwu looked at Battelle, laughed, and said jokingly: "Commander Ba, your armored assault group has been defeated in a night's attack."

You're angry, one of my regiments is following you as a reserve, why, it was suddenly stopped, don't you feel comfortable?"

Battle picked up a glass of water on the table, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Commander Feng, your order to stop came just in time. My tanks must be refueled. Furthermore, continue the assault.

But if you run into a pile of hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army soldiers, you will be surrounded by counterattacks by then!"

Feng Jiwu said to a staff officer: "Go tell the cooking team to get some hot food! Put more meat!" Then he said to Battelle: "You came just in time. This is the command of the division commander. Let's study it.

!”

The first ray of dawn shone through the window on the face of Tang Qiuli, who was lying in plain clothes. He immediately woke up, rolled out of bed, and looked at his watch. He had slept for more than three hours, but he was still in good spirits.

, did a few stretches, moved the muscles and bones, and felt refreshed all over. When I came to the outer room, Mei Ting happened to come in with breakfast.

"Sister Ting, how did you know I was awake? Did you prepare breakfast in advance?" Tang Qiuli asked with a smile, admiring his wife's graceful grace.

Mei Ting put the tray with breakfast on the table, first twisted a wet towel for him, and then said: "I told the special guard that if there is any movement in your room, tell me immediately. Breakfast has been prepared long ago.

It's hot in the pot, eat it quickly, it will be cold again in a while!"

After saying that, he handed over a bowl of millet porridge. Tang Qiuli drank the pure natural millet porridge sweetly and asked, "Where are Xiaoxue and Xinlan?"

"I haven't gotten up yet. There were too many telegrams sent last night. I was busy most of the night. I went to bed first and got up early to serve you as my master! You are in great luck. The three of us take turns to serve you!"

Mei Ting joked with a smile.

Just as Tang Qiuli was about to ask for some words, Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the division's general staff, came in. He first said hello to Mei Ting, and then said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, I received a call from Commander Yuan. The North China Field Corps

The reconnaissance force discovered that the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side began to retreat at an extremely fast speed. What is puzzling is that no blocking troops were left behind. Commander Yuan asked for instructions whether the troops would launch an attack immediately!"

"Run!" This was Tang Qiuli's first reaction. "Where is the Western Manchu Interceptor Corps of Jingzhan Banner now?" He did not answer Ge Zhenzhuang's words, but asked another question.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "The Western Manchurian Interceptor Corps has now reached the Xifeng area. It will take about seven hours to reach the Siping-Shuangliao line!"

"Where is the current location of the directly affiliated corps?" he asked again.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "Three hours ago, Chief of Staff Zhao sent a telegram that the directly affiliated corps has arrived in the Ulag Gol area. It will take about five hours for the troops to deploy and launch an attack on the Kwantung Army border garrison!

"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli shouted happily, "Director Ge, order Yuan Jinghao and the North China Field Corps to immediately launch a full-line attack on the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria. Tell him that the attack must be fierce and the penetration speed must be fast.

, using all five tank brigades, exactly

Before the Kwantung Army troops reach the front line from Siping to Shuangliao, they will disrupt the deployment and retreat rhythm of the Kwantung Army. In addition, make it clear to Yuan Jinghao that don't expect too many aviation groups to provide air reinforcements like the battlefield in western Liaoning. Everything depends on

Himself!"

After Ge Zhenzhuang repeated the commander's order, he left quickly. Tang Qiuli drank millet porridge with great appetite and praised Mei Ting's craftsmanship. Mei Ting asked strangely: "The battle has begun, why don't you go?"

Is the headquarters taking command?"
