Age of Conquest Reborn

The information from the Intelligence Division came suddenly, but it could not be called an accident. Long before, Tang Qiuli listened to the opinions of Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the General Staff Division, and had already ordered the mobilization of troops from the four brigades of the Shandong Garrison District, starting from the Liaodong Peninsula.

Landing at Anton Port, we were on guard west of Fengtian in order to guard against Umezu Yoshijiro's attack. We were prepared in advance and would not become hasty or confused!

Now, the intelligence has come. Umezu Yoshijiro of Fengtian is ready to take action, and he wants to take command personally. A force of 50,000 people, placed on the battlefield in western Liaoning with more than 14.5 million people on both sides, is at most a small wave and cannot stir up

No matter how big a wave comes, if it is placed on the blocking line from Siping to Shuangliao against the Han Railway troops, its destructive power cannot be ignored. The hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops in western Liaoning desperately broke through, and the 50,000 Japanese troops desperately attacked. The Han Railway troops were on both sides.

An unfavorable situation in combat.

It can be seen that Ge Zhenzhuang's suggestion and division commander Tang Qiuli's decision were very strategically forward-looking. Therefore, Ge Zhenzhuang and Communications Director Chen Feng, who knew that the division commander had been prepared, did not appear nervous, but for Tang Qiuli's decision

It is not just as simple as using the strength of the four brigades in the Shandong Garrison Area to block the enemies of Fengtian. Therefore, the content provided by this intelligence is far from enough.

"Director Ge, is there any other information in the intelligence? I need to know the weapons and equipment of the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, the composition of its troops, the training situation and specific information on when it will start operations!" Tang Qiuli said in a deep voice.

Ge Zhenzhuang looked at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng took out another telegram and said with a strange expression: "Commander, the Intelligence Department has more detailed information. But what I find incredible is that the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, the weapons and equipment are in accordance with

The standard configuration of the Japanese regular field troops. But based on the mechanized troops, these are not surprising!"

"The incredible thing is that in terms of the composition of the soldiers, the age of the soldiers ranges from fifteen to fifty-five years old, and more than one-third of the soldiers are composed of Japanese women. They are all temporarily recruited.

In only about seven days, the entire Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps was organized. There is no training at all! According to the intelligence, Umezu Yoshijiro will take action tonight!"

"Bring in children, old people, and women to top up the numbers! This Umezu Yoshijiro has no capital left!" Tang Qiuli thought to himself.

"This is not surprising. The previous battle for Anton has exhausted the Kwantung Army's war potential in and around Fengtian. Umezu Yoshijiro can only use these Japanese as cannon fodder. Okay, the more they come, the better.

OK! Take it all, the emptier Fengtian is, the better it will be!" When he said these words, there was a sneer of contempt on the corner of Tang Qiuli's mouth.

An idea flashed in Ge Zhenzhuang's mind. He thought deeply and said, "Commander, what do you mean? To completely annihilate this Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps?"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Umezu Yoshijiro has collected the last bit of military power in Fengtian and around Fengtian. There is no reason to put it back. Therefore, what we are fighting this time is not a blocking war, but a annihilation war!"

"Director Ge ordered Han Tie to detach three brigades of troops and rush to Sujiatun, west of Fengtian, at the Yuhong line overnight to join forces with the Shandong Garrison Area there to encircle and annihilate the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps. The battle was led by the Navy and Army.

Wang Dongshan, chief of staff of the team, serves as the commander-in-chief. He emphasized in the order that they must be completely annihilated. In addition, Liu Cuigang of the aviation force was ordered to provide air fire support to the participating troops!"

"Yes, Division Commander, I will convey your order immediately!" Ge Zhenzhuang stood at attention and said, and then raised his concerns, "Division Commander, the four brigades in the Shandong Garrison Area have 50,000 troops, plus the aviation force.

Support, completely capable

Is it necessary to completely annihilate the Liaoxi Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army according to the intelligence, and to remove the three brigades of Commander Han Tie to participate in the battle? What I am worried about is that the reduction of our army's blocking forces from Siping to Shuangliao will lead to an encirclement

The Kwantung Army made a sudden move!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, Han Tie's three brigades moved in overnight. The Kwantung Army in the encirclement circle was confused and did not dare to act rashly. Director Ge, the lion still needs all its strength to fight the rabbit.

Don’t underestimate these Japanese, old, weak, women and children. They can be more crazy and more ferocious than regular Japanese soldiers. What’s more, I use such heavy troops because I want to keep Umezu Yoshijiro!”

"I understand, Commander!" Ge Zhenzhuang suddenly realized and became excited. The Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, with more than 50,000 old and weak soldiers, was not the main target of the division commander. Umezu Yoshijiro was!

In Fengtian at night, the lights are sparse, and every house is closed. Even the romantic places, taverns, tea shops, and gambling houses and docks that are usually full of fun and entertainment are unprecedentedly depressed. There is not a single person in sight. The whole city is shrouded in...

A tense and uneasy atmosphere

Among them, the streets are full of Kwantung Army troops with live ammunition. Who has the heart and courage to go and meet a sweetheart? To drink and make money and have fun? It’s a life-threatening situation. If you are unlucky enough, you will be picked on in the street with a bayonet by the Japanese.

Sorry, I can't even find a place to reason!

What caused the tense atmosphere was that the Kwantung Army's Western Liaoning Assault Corps, organized in various places, began to assemble in Fengtian. From time to time, there were requisitioned civilian vehicles, in groups of dozens, filled with fully armed soldiers, driving down the street with their headlights on.

However, there is quite an momentum of thousands of troops about to go out for battle, which looks really mighty and majestic!

General Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, stood on the high steps of the headquarters, watching a train passing by. Under the illumination of the car lights, the helmets and bayonets shone with a cold metallic light, naturally carrying a chilling air.

, but General Umezu knew that the troops being assembled in front of him were a veritable mass of gold and jade. Under the helmets were panic-stricken women and men with old or immature faces.

"This is the total force that my dignified Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, General of the Imperial Army, can command!" General Umezu sighed heavily in his heart. Standing next to him, Lieutenant General Matsuda, the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army, was the leader of this formation.

The actual implementer of the army naturally knows the virtues of the Kwantung Army Liaoxi Assault Corps, and from the bottom of his heart, he is not optimistic about it!

Looking at the gloomy-looking General Umezu, Lieutenant General Matsuda felt that he needed to persuade again, "Commander-in-Chief, the Ministry of Staff believes that although rescuing our Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area is the most urgent action at the moment, there is no need to

Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, will personally lead the team and send a senior officer with rich combat experience. If you are worried, the Ministry of Staff is willing to command this team!"

"Huh!" General Umezu exhaled heavily, as if exhaling the heaviness in his heart, and said in a low tone: "Matsuda-kun, I understand your intention, but this army must be commanded by me personally. The meaning is different. I

Visit the front line in person,

Leading the team to defeat the blockade of the Independent Division troops from Panshan to Beining was a great encouragement and morale to the soldiers of the Kwantung Army in Western Liaoning who were trapped in an encirclement situation! What the Imperial soldiers need most now is morale, and my role is indispensable.

Replacement!"

General Umezu's tone left no room for negotiation, and the implication was that no one except me has enough weight, including you, Chief of Staff Matsuda.

Chief of Staff Matsuda was kind-hearted, but he encountered a tough problem and was looked down upon. He clapped his lips and felt unspeakable in his heart. He did not want to dwell on this topic any longer. "Commander-in-Chief, regarding the Kanto region in the direction of Western Liaoning,

The Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Western Manchuria can adopt this method to help them get out of trouble, but how should we deal with the dangers faced by the Kwantung Army troops in the direction of Western Manchuria?"

"The General Staff received a telegram that our troops retreating from Western Manchuria were first strongly blocked by the Independent Division troops on the line from Siping to Shuangliao, and then were violently bombed by the Independent Division aviation forces. They suffered heavy losses, and even more

What is worrying is that about four mechanized infantry brigades and one to two independent divisions of tank brigades penetrated the depth of our imperial army’s retreat and reached the area from Siping to Shuangliao!”

"At least judging from the current situation on the battlefield in Western Manchuria, within a short period of time, our army in the Western Manchurian direction will be unable to break through the blocking of the independent division troops and cannot withdraw to Xinjing. Commander-in-Chief, this is another problem before us.

Also, since I received the message from Border Guard Commander Yoshinaga,

Lieutenant General, after discovering that a well-equipped independent division with hundreds of thousands of troops appeared on the Manchuria-Mongolia border line, so far, he has never received a telegram from Ji Yongjun about the northwest Manchuria border line.

We don’t know anything about the situation!”

When Chief of Staff Matsuda talked about this, General Umezu remained silent, his face was like cast iron, but the muscles on his cheeks were twitching slightly, and the pain in his eyes flashed from time to time, revealing the violent fluctuations in his inner thoughts.

These are three dead ends. Let’s not mention the situation of the Manchurian Border Guards for the moment. It was originally a dead end that I was ready to give up. Its only function was to delay and slow down the speed and time of the Independent Division’s Outer Mongolia Field Corps moving south. Since I learned

When an independent division unit appeared behind the Kwantung Army's border garrison, General Umezu knew in his heart that the fate of Yoshinaga's unit was sealed.

Even if they want to rescue, the Kwantung Army troops in various places are already too busy to take care of themselves. How can they have the strength and ability to go north to rescue and save themselves? It is the blessing of Amaterasu. Therefore, the original order given to Yoshinaga was, "Never

Allowed to retreat even half a step, even if all the jade pieces are broken, we must stick to the position!" General Umezu did not feel anything wrong with this order to send the Kwantung Army's northwest Manchurian border garrison, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, to a dead end.

Appropriate?

"I hope Yoshinaga can support him for a longer time. After he has solved the danger of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning, he can then consider the war situation in Western Manchuria! There are no more telegrams. Maybe the battle is fierce and there is no time to report?" Umezu

The general sighed and tried to think of the best.
