Age of Conquest Reborn

After several months of preparation, the Battle of Western Manchuria was finally about to begin. However, as the division commander, Tang Qiuli, after giving the order, continued to eat his breakfast as if nothing had happened. Mei Ting could not help but

asked.

Seeing his wife asking this, Tang Qiuli put down his rice bowl, touched his chin with his right hand, and said with a confident look, "A good wife doesn't know something. This is called strategizing, and winning a victory thousands of miles away. She has a plan in advance, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese pirates are still there."

Is it worth being a husband like facing a powerful enemy? Just hand him over to your subordinates and annihilate him, good wife, and a bowl of millet porridge!"

Mei Ting was amused by him and bent over with laughter. Her expression was indescribably charming, and Tang Qiuli moved her index finger. "Just blow it!" Mei Ting glared at him and said with a deliberate curl of her lips.

Tang Qiuli's words were not purely to make Mei Ting laugh. The battle situation in Western Manchuria has always been a confrontation. In terms of overall strength, the Kwantung Army is smaller than Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps, and its heavy firepower is even worse.

We haven't lost air control yet.

As for Yuan Jinghao's Corps, with hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, from top to bottom, they were holding back their energy and staring at the Kwantung Army soldiers opposite with blue eyes, especially the commander of the Corps, Yuan Jinghao. He tried to beat him several times, but was beaten every time.

Tang Qiuli was pressed down. In addition, the task of spearheading the attack fell on him, and he felt a fire in his heart. This fire could only be vented towards the Kwantung Army troops on the ground.

Feng Jiwu's regiment in the western Liaoning battlefield broke through the Daling River defense line in a few hours and killed the Kwantung Army's entire army of more than 90,000 people. When the battle report came, the North China Field Corps screamed in panic from top to bottom, Tang Qiu

Believe

, issued an order, and hundreds of thousands of tigers were released. Their murderous aura and vigor were beyond the reach of the Kwantung Army soldiers who were in constant panic. Therefore, he was certain that the attack would go very smoothly.

The Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area retreated, why did they not leave any blocking troops? Tang Qiuli guessed Umezu Yoshijiro's psychology. The Battle of Daling River in Western Liaoning was a lesson learned from the past. A blocking troop of more than 90,000 people was defeated by Feng Jiwu.

After swallowing it in one gulp, not even the bones and scum were left. That was the result of relying on the natural barrier of the Daling River, which is more than 100 meters wide and has strong waves, and relying on pure reinforced concrete fortifications.

The Kwantung Army in the Western Manchuria area did not have such a blessing. From Kailu to Tongliao and then to Xinjing, it was the transition zone from the Horqin Sandy Land to the Songliao Plain. It was a long stretch of shallow sandy land and a flat river, with no danger to defend. In the direction of Western Manchuria

It was only a few months ago that it became the front line of the confrontation between the Kwantung Army and the North China Field Corps. There was no reinforced concrete fortification defense system at all, and even building stronger fortifications was difficult.

Due to limited geological conditions, decent stones are rare in the Ximan area. Excavation works in the sandy soil take shape quickly, but are not strong. If the excavation is deep, groundwater will come up. Therefore, the blocking conditions in the Ximan area are no different from those in western Liaoning.

Fabi, Umezu Yoshijiro is self-aware. He is afraid of losing tens of thousands more people.

"I'm afraid, Yuan Jinghao can destroy the Kwantung Army's fortifications with just one shell! No, the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria has no blocking troops at all. Yuan Jinghao doesn't have the trouble of attacking the fortress, and only pursues it!" Tang Qiu!

Li Zi lost a smile and thought to himself.

Ever since he reported to the division commander that the Kwantung Army was about to escape, Yuan Jinghao had been anxiously guarding the corps headquarters next to the telephone where he could communicate directly with the division commander. He was very worried. The division commander once again denied his offensive suggestion and started fighting several times.

The conditions were fully met, but he was denied by the teacher. He was really unsure!

"I said to the Chief of Staff, this time, the Japs really want to run away. Do you think the division commander will do what he did a few times before and have other plans to tell us to stand still? There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire corps, but they are holding back.

There is a lot of energy. If we continue to refuse to fight, wouldn't it hurt our spirit and morale? How will we lead these soldiers in the future?" Yuan Jinghao was ill and rushed to the hospital. He asked the regiment's chief of staff, Colonel Han Guangqi, when he arrived.

Han Guangqi looked at the commander who was jumping anxiously, chuckled to himself, and said with relief: "Commander, don't worry, this time, the division commander will definitely order us to attack. There is only one reason. The Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria are here.

This time we really want to run away. We have a regiment of hundreds of thousands of people and have been watching here for several months. The purpose is to eat the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side. Therefore, this time the division commander will definitely issue an attack order.

Yes, please wait patiently for a while!"

"The analysis makes sense, it makes sense!" Yuan Jinghao nodded repeatedly and agreed very much with his chief of staff's words. He seemed to feel relieved, but as soon as his butt touched the empty shell box, he jumped up again, "No! I still don't trust it in my heart.

At the end of the day, I don’t dare to ask the division commander, so I call Director Ge from the Staff Office!”

As soon as he finished speaking, "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"

!”

Ge Zhenzhuang on the other end of the phone couldn't help but smile. He could imagine Yuan Jinghao's nervousness, "Commander Yuan, this is Ge Zhenzhuang. I am conveying the division commander's order now. The North China Field Corps will begin an attack immediately, with five tank brigades as the assault force."

Arrow, the attack must be fierce, the penetration speed must be fast, use all five tank brigades, and disrupt the Kwantung Army's deployment and retreat rhythm before the Kwantung Army troops reach the line from Siping to Shuangliao!" He recited concisely

Repeat the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli.

"Great!" Yuan Jinghao shouted excitedly, and the noise was so loud that it shook his ears, "Director Ge, please tell the division commander that the North China Field Corps will guarantee to complete the mission!" After saying that, he hung up without waiting for Ge Zhenzhuang to speak.

On the other end of the phone, Ge Zhenzhuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

Yuan Jinghao said energetically to Chief of Staff Han Guangqi: "Order the troops to start a full-line attack according to the predetermined offensive plan. Tell the brigade commanders that we are fighting a deployment breakthrough war, but a pursuit war. Fight hard and charge hard. How many

Run as fast as you can! But you must pay attention to the cooperation between the brigades and the distance between each other. Don't run into the depths of the little devils and end up being surrounded. That would be embarrassing!"

The battlefield in Western Manchuria, which had been silent for several months, finally began to become noisy. However, it was not the continuous artillery fire, deafening gunfire, and bloody assaults and blockades, but the more than 20 brigades and 40 brigades of the North China Field Corps.

Tens of thousands of troops attacked from the Tongliao front line and pursued fiercely along the Kwantung Army's retreat route.

More than a thousand tanks and hundreds of thousands of troops, on the edge of the Horqin Sandy Land, with a frontage of more than 100 kilometers wide, rolled up yellow dust all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and faced Western Manchuria with a murderous aura.

The rising sun was like a hurricane, sweeping towards the retreating Kwantung Army troops!

It is impossible to evaluate whether the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro, gave the order to the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area not to leave any blocking troops when they retreated. Whether it was a wise move or a foolish move. Anyway, later facts proved that even if it started for a few hours

At that time, the Kwantung Army soldiers who began to retreat could not run past the tank tracks and truck wheels of the North China Field Corps, which was half a mechanized force.

What's more, in the sky, there are nearly a thousand independent division aviation bombers and fighter jets, constantly pouring heavy aerial bombs and strings of machine gun bullets on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers who are eager to retreat, blowing up the yellow sky in Western Manchuria.

Gunpowder smoke was everywhere in the sand, covering the sky and the sun, and the Kwantung Army soldiers were blown to pieces!

Three hours later, the yellow dust covering the sky and the sound of tank tracks crushing the sand swept over with the trembling of the earth. The soldiers of the 15th Army of the Kwantung Army who finally retreated looked back.

Suddenly a cool breeze ran down my spine, and I began to feel

Panicking, the independent division aircraft group in the sky bombed very fiercely, but they always had to return. Moreover, they could not cover the entire area, and there were blind spots to avoid air attacks. But when the ground troops of the independent division caught up, the consequences were very different.

Got it!

Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the 15th Army, did not dare to sit in the car at this moment. The bombs of the independent division bombers were treated equally regardless of generals and soldiers. Lieutenant General Kushima saw with his own eyes that a senior colonel from the army headquarters

The staff car was riddled with holes by a fighter jet from the Independent Division. Flames flew wildly and it was blown into pieces on the spot.

The scene that happened made Lieutenant General Kushima's heart tremble. The majestic Lieutenant General Commander of the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan could only use two feet to run like an ordinary soldier. As he ran, he felt sad in his heart.

I thought, "The Kwantung Army, known as the 'Flower of the Imperial Army' of the empire, retreated in such a helter-skelter manner. No, it was simply defeated. There were more than 300,000 people in the four armies. They were in a panic and fled for their lives!"

Lieutenant General Kushima was furious. A strong sense of shame flooded his body and mind like a tide, and he felt a sharp pain in his heart. "Commander-in-Chief Umezu's order is wrong. If enough blocking troops are left, even if

Just like the Ninth Army on the Daling River Defense Line in western Liaoning, the whole body can cover other troops and retreat safely!" He thought angrily, but he forgot that he did not raise any objection to Commander-in-Chief Meijin's order.

Opinion.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the enemy is pursuing us!" a staff officer beside him suddenly exclaimed. Lieutenant General Hisashima looked back and his eyes suddenly turned blood red.

To a distance of twenty kilometers, if we continue to retreat like this, not only will the Thirty-sixth Division be destined to be unable to escape, but even the Fifteenth Army will be unable to leave. We have no control over other directions, but in this direction, we cannot allow the Chinese troops to be unscrupulous

The pursuit!"

If conditions permit, Lieutenant General Kushima will even order the entire 15th Army to immediately switch to blocking. Even if the whole body is broken, it is better than being chased and beaten. He finally runs to the foot of a low hill. He doesn't care.

With bombs and bullets whizzing down overhead, he shouted: "Bring me the map!"
