Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Xu Guofu, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the North China Field Corps, was holding his breath. The order from the corps headquarters was for the 2nd Brigade, Song Guotai's 1st Brigade, and the 1st Tank Brigade to jointly annihilate the 30th Kwantung Army.

Xu Guofu also planned the Sixth Division in this way. Even if a little devil in a division is not greedy, he can just get half of it.

However, when Xu Guofu led the Second Brigade of more than 16,000 people and hurriedly arrived at the Baolong Mountain battlefield, the battle was coming to an end. If the Second Brigade had not won any battle at all,

That's not correct either, but is that called a battle? Most of the little Japs left by the First Brigade were stubborn people who refused to surrender after being wounded. Song Guotai is quite generous and can't defeat three or four.

Let the second brigade fight the little Japs who are missing arms and legs.

In Xu Guofu's view, the second brigade seemed to be here to clean up the battlefield. There were still sporadic gunshots in the Baolong Mountain area. Xu Guofu came to Song Guotai with anger. What he was dissatisfied with was that

Since you are Song Guotai’s first brigade

, if you can defeat the 36th Division of the Kwantung Army, then tell Commander Yuan why bother to pull up the Second Brigade, otherwise, the current Second Brigade is on the way to pursue the 15th Army of the Kwantung Army, instead of

Pick up your leftovers from Song Guotai!

When he arrived at Song Guotai's temporary headquarters, when he saw this guy looking around and smoking happily with a happy face, Xu Guofu became angry and spoke sourly, "Oh, this is not

Brigadier Song! They fought a beautiful battle of annihilation. They vomited more than 20,000 little devils without opening their eyes. It was so beautiful! This time, your first brigade, Commander Song

, even if you don’t want to show your face!”

Song Guotai heard the sour meaning in Xu Guofu's words and knew that this guy was hurrying too slowly to get any benefits from the fight. He was holding back some energy in his heart, but he didn't care. He jumped off the front of the car and said: "Xu Lu

Sir, isn’t there something I can’t do?

.Didn’t you see the situation at that time? A total of 24,000 to 5,000 little Japs, with their bayonets parked in a daze, engaging in hand-to-hand charges. Even though Wu Yaoxian had more than 300 tanks under his command,

My face turned pale at that time and I had no idea!"

"He is a tank driver. He has seen such a battle before, but we are different. The little devil has seen this a lot. You tell me, if such a good opportunity comes to your lips, can I not fight to death?

? I want to give you old age

It’s impossible to keep some of my brother’s second brigade. I can’t leave any at all, so I can only attack them with a burst of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns! In other words, if you, brother, encounter a kid who makes a fool of himself, you’ll have to swallow him in one gulp.

no!"

Xu Guofu was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't say anything. He also understood that once the little devil launched a hand-to-hand charge, it would be the result of a fight to the death, and there was no room for any hesitation. But look at this guy Song Guotai, this is not

You have to be cheap and good, and you also take Wu Yaoxian, who killed the first tank brigade, so you can only admit that you are unlucky. Who let his second brigade, the battle sequence be filmed in the back, why do you feel uncomfortable looking at this guy's proud face?

Woolen cloth?

Xu Guofu was about to retort a few words, but he felt somewhat relieved. A military jeep, carrying smoke and dust all the way, came quickly and stopped in front of the two people. A captain jumped out of the car, and Xu Guofu jumped out.

Confused, this is the combat staff officer of his brigade headquarters. He came here in a hurry. He must have important military information?

Before he could ask, the staff captain stood at attention and saluted the two brigade commanders, looked at Xu Guofu and said: "Report to the brigade commander, I have received an order from the regiment headquarters, ordering our brigade to immediately follow the first tank brigade and go immediately.

Pursue and advance in the direction of Siping. Previously, the order to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the 36th Division of the Kwantung Army on the front line of Baolong Mountain was revoked!"

Xu Guofu was very happy. He looked at Song Guotai who was listening blankly and asked deliberately: "Is this the content of the order? Is there any mission for the first brigade?"

The staff captain glanced at Song Guotai, hesitated and replied: "Reporting to the brigade commander, when I was looking for you just now, I passed by the headquarters of Brigadier Song and heard from the staff of the first brigade that the mission of the first brigade is to stay in

Baolong Mountain is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and handling the aftermath, and nothing else!"

"Hahaha!" Xu Guofu laughed at the top of his voice, stretched out his hand to open the door of the armored command vehicle, kicked in and out of the door, and said to Song Guotai: "Commander Song, I'll excuse you. There are more than 20,000 young people."

The Japs’ broken guns and cannons, as well as the corpses everywhere, are all yours. By the way, I’ll be waiting for you at the foot of Xinjing City to deliver prisoners to you. Do you have any experience?” After saying that, he ducked and got into the trap.

Get in the car and drive away with a puff of smoke and dust.

Song Guotai couldn't laugh or cry, "No wonder, it's been almost half an hour since the battle ended, and the regiment headquarters has not given any orders. Dare to let his majestic main brigade do the work of the second-line troops, and was ridiculed by Xu Guofu.

, No, I have to send a telegram to the commander, what’s going on, the next battle cannot fail!"

Yuan Jinghao, who was in a very good mood, had no idea what his two main brigade commanders were thinking. Of course, his vision could not be limited to Baolong Mountain. From the beginning of the attack to the present, the Kanto area in Western Manchuria

The troops of the Kwantung Army were all retreating as quickly as possible. The North China Field Corps troops were divided into five groups to pursue them. It seemed that the advance was extremely fast, but the number of Kwantung Army soldiers who were eliminated was indeed not large.

Of course, the 36th Division of the Kwantung Army in Baolong Mountain was an anomaly. Song Guotai, with a brigade of troops and without even using tanks, achieved the goal of annihilating more than 20,000 enemies in about five hours.

To be fair, Yuan Jinghao himself didn't quite believe in the results. He was quite satisfied with the combat effectiveness of Song Guotai's 1st Brigade.

But Yuan Jinghao also realized that the Battle of Baolong Mountain was delayed for more than five hours. The task assigned to the North China Field Corps by the division was to completely entangle the Kwantung Army with more than 400,000 people in Western Manchuria before they reached the Dongliao River.

They were detained to buy time for the blocking troops to move to Siping and Shuangliao front lines. Therefore, it seemed that the first brigade achieved a very great result, but the other three divisions of the Fifteenth Army of the Kwantung Army were able to escape.

The local battle exceeded the expected purpose, but from the overall perspective of the entire Western Manchuria campaign, the biggest loophole was also in the direction of Baolong Mountain. The other four pursuit troops were not blocked by the Japanese army. The purpose of the Western Manchuria campaign

, it is the Kwantung Army with more than 400,000 people, not the 30th Army with more than 20,000 people.

The Sixth Division, therefore, Yuan Jinghao’s order to the pursuit troops in the direction of Baolong Mountain specifically emphasized: “Carry out an uninterrupted pursuit with the fastest speed and the most ferocious movements, get rid of all entanglements and obstructions, and be sure to defeat the Kwantung Army

Catch the 15th Army before it reaches Gilgalang!"

The North China Field Corps was divided into five groups, each with five infantry brigades and one tank brigade. They pursued the five Kwantung Army armies in Western Manchuria. They had a slight advantage in terms of strength, but they had an absolute advantage in firepower. Each group had an absolute advantage.

Equipped with every main brigade

With two self-propelled artillery regiments, coupled with the bombing from the air and aviation groups, and superior ground-to-air firepower, Yuan Jinghao fought with full confidence in this battle. His only worry was that too many of them would slip away from his hands.

Kwantung Army soldiers.

Yuan Jinghao knew that the blocking troops on the line from Siping to Shuangliao only had the strength of five brigades commanded by Jing Zhanqi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps. The more Kwantung Army troops slipped from his hands, the more troops he lost to the blocking troops.

The greater the pressure.

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Jinghao personally dictated and sent a telegram to the division commander, giving a detailed report on the current situation of the Western Manchuria campaign, focusing on the Battle of Baolong Mountain. In the telegram, he did not conceal his influence on subsequent operations.

Perhaps he was using this method to remind the division commander that the blocking troops must be prepared to withstand tremendous pressure.

In Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, after Yuan Jinghao's regiment headquarters went to the front line, the large courtyard seemed a bit empty. In the room of division commander Tang Qiuli, Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the division commander's staff office, was reporting that the North China Field Corps had started to attack.

The development of the battlefield is mainly due to Yuan Jinghao's telegram.

After listening to Ge Zhenzhuang's words, Tang Qiuli was speechless. After a while, he said: "The Battle of Baolong Mountain was a miracle. One brigade completely wiped out a division of the Kwantung Army. This is unprecedented in the history of the independent division's operations.

This is the first time that brigade commander Song Guotai is a talented person. Director Ge, in the name of the division commander, notified the entire army to commend the first brigade of the North China Field Corps for its outstanding performance in the battle of Baolong Mountain.

Remember the second-class collective merit!"

"In addition, call Yuan Jinghao back and complete your assigned tasks. Don't worry about it. Regarding the blocking force, the division commander has other instructions. The better you fight, the less pressure the blocking force will have!"

Ge Zhenzhuang went out. Tang Qiuli looked at the map and said to himself: "The troops of Jingzhan Banner have enough time to set up a blocking line. East of the Dongliao River and west of Siping to Shuangliao is a good battlefield!"

Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the 1st Brigade of the 29th Corps, commanded five brigades, bypassing Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places in the east of Fengtian, and frightened the Kwantung Army garrison and Manchuria who were cowering in the city.

The National City Defense Army was left behind and took the road of Changtu, Yehe, and Xifeng, and marched day and night directly from Siping to the Shuangliao line. Thanks to the main force of the Kwantung Army, they were concentrated on the western Liaoning, western Manchuria, and northwest border lines.

Jing Zhanqi's five brigades seemed to be in uninhabited territory. Of course, there were also small groups of the Kwantung Army who tried to intercept, but without exception, they became the targets that Jing Zhanqi swept away. Tanks,

Armored vehicles, artillery vehicles, self-propelled artillery, plus all trucks, the troops commanded by Jing Zhanqi marched in a completely mechanized manner, sweeping across the land east of Fengtian like a furious dragon.

After two consecutive days and two nights of rapid march, the leading troops arrived at Siping City. After receiving the report, Jing Zhanqi breathed a long sigh of relief and said to the Chief of Staff, Colonel Wang Xujiang: "Chief of Staff, immediately telegraph to the division commander that we

The leading troops of the Liaoxi blocking force have arrived at Siping City and are preparing to launch an attack, and the rest of the troops are advancing towards Shuangliao!"
