Age of Conquest Reborn

When he walked into the office, General Umezu was still livid with anger. In his opinion, Kushima's telegram was full of lies, panic, and confusion. How could such an officer become the commander of an army of the Kwantung Army?

?What are the subordinates of that old guy Nanjiro?

Although he was in extreme anger, General Umezu did not lose his basic judgment ability, but one thing is certain. On the Shuangliao front line, there are indeed troops of independent divisions blocking the 15th Army. However, their strength is by no means

It would be too many. At best, it would only have 10,000 or 20,000 troops. Where would the 50,000 or 60,000 troops come from?

Regarding this point, General Meijin is still very confident. The confidence comes from his understanding of the war situation in Manchuria. The Chinese devil Tang Qiuli has more than 800,000 troops in western Liaoning, and nearly 500,000 troops in Tongliao in western Manchuria.

, adding up to more than 1.3 million people, and in the Manchurian battlefield, the strength of the independent divisions was only this many. Did the 50,000 to 60,000 independent division troops in the Shuangliao area fall from the sky?

If Tang Qiuli wants to prevent the Kwantung Army troops from retreating to Xinjing in the Western Manchuria area, then not only the blocking troops must be deployed in Shuangliao, but also blocking troops must be deployed in the direction of Siping. In this way, wouldn't there be more than a dozen more troops?

Ten thousand independent division troops?

General Umezu also thought about the whereabouts of the hundreds of thousands of Tang Qiuli's direct corps, whether they were committed to the battlefield in Western Manchuria. If so, the telegram from Jiudao, the bastard, was true. However, yesterday, he received the Kwantung Army in northwest Manchuria.

A telegram from Border Guard Commander Lieutenant General Kase revealed that a large number of independent division troops with unknown numbers appeared in the Hulunbuir Grassland area in eastern Mongolia.

From the moment he saw the telegram, General Meijin intuitively affirmed that it was the most elite regiment directly under Tang Qiuli. Its purpose was to go to the Kwantung Army's northwest Manchurian border garrison. Although he came to this conclusion, Meijin

The general dare not die

The border garrison was ordered to withdraw. Once the northwestern border line of Manchuria was opened and entrenched in southeastern Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's other powerful general, Sun Zhenbang of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, with more than 300,000 troops, would be like a flood.

Flooded into Manchuria.

The strength of more than 300,000 troops, no matter which battlefield they join, will completely change the situation of the battlefield. Therefore, in the heart of General Umezu, the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army's northwest border guards in Manchuria are already dead pawns.

.There is no solution. Their destiny is to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, and use their jade pieces to delay the independent division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps' march south.

The three major force groups of the Kwantung Army include Western Liaoning, Western Manchuria, and the northwest border of Manchuria. General Meijin’s plan is to use the Western Manchurian Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army being formed to defeat the independent divisions from Panshan to Beining.

The blocking line was in response to the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian in the western Liaoning area, but the situation during today's inspection made me very dissatisfied and even lost my temper with Chief of Staff Matsuda.

With a rapid retreat without leaving any blocking troops, the Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria quickly retreated to Xinjing, abandoning one of them and preserving two. This was the best they could do. Since then, the battle to regain the Liaodong Peninsula has been a disastrous failure.

, General Umezu felt that the situation in Manchuria was like a broken ship leaking everywhere, so he tried his best to mend holes everywhere to delay the sinking of this broken ship.

For many days, General Umezu's situation could not only be described as mentally and physically exhausted, but exhausted would be more appropriate. Lieutenant General Kushima's telegram added another fire to the exhausted situation, burning him inside and out. Kushima, this

Bastard and stupid pig, the most unforgivable thing

, was hesitant, lost the will to fight, and was frightened by the independent division commander's tactical move to discredit the formation. To deal with more than 3,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in two regiments, tens of thousands of soldiers could be used.

Attack? Is it worth using tanks and heavy artillery?

It's a very simple truth. The independent division blocking troops on the front line of Shuangliao are insufficient in strength. They can only use such tactics to scare fools like Kushima. It must be admitted that General Umezu is indeed a qualified commander. Although he is far away in Fengtian,

He analyzed the battle situation in Western Manchuria and even Shuangliao area very thoroughly. Even how strong Xu Tingzhi's second brigade was and the tactics used by Jing Zhanqi were basically not bad.

It is a pity that Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the Fifteenth Army of the Kwantung Army, is not General Umezu. Although he wants to kill this idiot Kushima with a knife, his murderous intentions must be suppressed for the time being. He cannot send military police at the critical moment.

Escort Kushima back from the battlefield?

When he thought of this, General Umezu turned his anger into a groan and personally drafted a reply to Lieutenant General Kushima, "Kyushima-kun, this commander can tell you clearly that the independent division blocking troops in Shuangliao area,

The number of troops will not exceed 20,000, so you can safely and boldly attack.

Breaking through its blockade is a great achievement for the empire. Subsequently, the troops retreating in other directions are likely to retreat quickly along the channel opened by you, Kushima-kun. Can the imperial troops in the Western Manchuria area be safely withdrawn?

Xinjing, it all depends on whether Kushima-kun’s offensive action is decisive or not!”

Writing this, General Umezu felt very wronged. He was a stupid commander who was hesitant and confused and wasted several hours of precious time. He still had to comfort and cheer him up. It was really

Damn it, General Umezu has already greeted the female relatives of Lieutenant General Kushima's family countless times in his heart, and You Zi can't help but hate that there is already a place for this bastard in Fengtian Prison.

At the end of the telegram, General Umezu wrote: "Kyushima-kun, I will be in Fengtian, waiting for the good news about your negotiation of the Shuangliao blockade line of the independent division troops. In this way, you will be a great contributor to the Western Manchurian troops of the Imperial Kwantung Army.

He is a great contributor to saving the war situation in Manchuria. On the day that Mr. Kushima returns safely, my commander-in-chief will lead all the officers in the headquarters to welcome Mr. Kushima back in the suburbs of Fengtian! Please!"

In the entire telegram, there was not a single word of censure against Lieutenant General Kushima for delaying the fighter plane. After writing the telegram, General Umezu smiled bitterly, pressed the bell to call in the staff, and immediately sent this telegram that he felt disgusting to Kushima.

Lieutenant General.

Telegrams came and went, and nearly four hours had passed. On the battlefield in Western Manchuria, four hours was enough to change many things. The five brigades of the North China Field Corps, plus the armored and artillery units that were pursuing, were about 100 meters away from Gilga.

Lang, less than two hours away, the 37th Division of the 15th Army responsible for blocking the attack had not yet finished digging its defenses.

On the Shuangliao front line, Major General Xu Tingzhi, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Western Manchuria Interceptor Corps of the Independent Division, after receiving the report from the reconnaissance unit, finally knew the reason why the Kwantung Army did not launch an attack. Of course, Xu Tingzhi wanted to do this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Second Brigade continued to strengthen the fortifications and improve the defense system.

After receiving the telegram from Commander-in-Chief General Umezu, Lieutenant-General Kushima, who was waiting like an ant on a hot pot, was as excited as the rain after a long drought. He had no idea that he had been expected to die by Commander-in-Chief Umezu.

I secretly rejoiced that I had asked His Majesty the Commander-in-Chief for instructions. Otherwise, I really didn’t know what to do next!

What makes Lieutenant General Hisashima most excited is Commander-in-Chief Umezu's judgment on the strength of the independent division's blocking troops in the Shuangliao area. This relieved his biggest worry. The 15th Army, except for the 37th Division that was blocking the blocking,

In addition, there are two full divisions with more than 50,000 people. Lieutenant General Hisashima decided to devote all his troops, all artillery and three tank regiments to the independent division's Shuangliao attack.

During the attack on the position!

After issuing the order, Lieutenant General Hisashima took out General Umezu's telegram and read it happily. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to become a major contributor to the Kwantung Army. It pays to be cautious!

More than 50,000 Kwantung Army soldiers from two divisions of the 15th Army began to approach the Shuangliao area. However, for the Kwantung Army soldiers, an all-out attack was the beginning of disaster. According to the order of division commander Tang Qiuli,

Major General Liu Cuigang, commander of the aviation force, transferred the bomber group and fighter group deployed on the battlefield in western Liaoning to the airspace from Shuangliao to Siping in Western Manchuria. After returning, the aircraft group filled with fuel and bombs appeared in the sky.

Nearly a thousand fighter jets and bombers formed four echelons and flew into the battlefield airspace. The formation commander was personally served by Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the Aviation Southern Flying Group. Le Yiqin looked through the porthole and saw the long yellow sand.

Green grass and countless Kwantung Army soldiers were scattered on the ground. Because so many aircraft suddenly appeared, the Kwantung Army's offensive formation began to become chaotic.

Le Yiqin gave the order with a smile: "Each formation begins to attack freely. There is only one requirement. Blast out a wall of fire from Siping to Shuangliao!"

The bomber began to dive, and countless small black dots fell from the sky. In the eyes of the Kwantung Army soldiers, they quickly magnified into heavy bombs. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thick smoke pillars mixed with yellow sand rose into the sky, covering nothing.

On the unobstructed ground, clouds of gray-black smoke exploded. From Siping to Shuangliao, the more than 90-kilometer-long front was filled with gunpowder smoke and rising smoke and dust.

Broken shrapnel flew, whirled, and roared, mercilessly cutting into the bodies of the Kwantung Army soldiers. Blood spattered, and a huge crater appeared. Scattered around were the broken limbs and broken arms of the Kwantung Army soldiers. Faced with such violence,

The Kwantung Army soldiers were unable to fight back due to the aerial firepower. They ran helplessly on the unobstructed sand, avoiding the roaring, deadly bombs and bullets.

The large-scale bombing lasted for more than forty minutes, causing huge casualties to the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area, leaving behind a messy, smoke-filled battlefield filled with craters and corpses of Kwantung Army soldiers.

Jing Zhanqi had been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, and he made an extremely bold decision. Because of this decision, Jing Zhanqi became famous in the first battle.
