Age of Conquest Reborn

Baichengzi in Western Manchuria is the end point of the Bai-A railway line and the starting point of the railways leading to Siping and Shuangliao. The two railway lines intersect here, which is an important strategic point in Western Manchuria. Liu Chun commanded five cavalrymen.

The brigade dispatched troops from Saiyinsanda in Outer Mongolia and passed through Uzbekistan

The Zhumoqin Grassland starts from the Aershan deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains, and goes all the way south, seizing villages and villages, and capturing a place, leaving a part of the cavalry to defend it. All the way down, three brigades of troops are sent out. After arriving at Baichengzi, the troops

There are also two cavalry brigades here.

After the Kwantung Army garrison defending Baichengzi and Taonan and the fifth detachment of the Taoliao Garrison of the Puppet Manchukuo were annihilated, the cavalry troops were stationed here. There was no big battle to fight, and there was no order to guide the next move.

, Liu Chun was a restless person, so he simply started to suppress the bandits.

Those bandits who were not even equipped with rifles were the opponents of the regular cavalry forces. In addition, the local people hated the bandits to the core.

Several relatively large groups of bandits were called the "Three Pests". I heard that the soldiers wanted to suppress the bandits, but no matter where they came from, the troops provided information about the bandits, and the brave ones even volunteered to be guides.

Of course, leading the way is not for nothing. As the commander of the Taoliao Garrison Command, Liu Chun posted a notice stating that anyone who provides information about the bandits will not only keep it confidential, but will also be rewarded with various rewards according to the importance of the information. Those who lead the way.

, to ensure personal safety, and ten oceans of Xin

It's hard work, just like this, if it takes more than ten days, the habitual bandit gangs that have been running rampant in the local area for many years, such as "Cao Shangfei", "Nenjiang King", "Yizhixiang" and other bandits, will be beaten to pieces.

After falling, most of the gangsters were killed, and the remaining bandit leaders fled without a trace.

In fact, Liu Chun was also reminding the division commander that the two brigades of cavalry had more than 10,000 troops. They had no combat missions and had no time to fight bandits. However, at that time, Tang Qiuli focused all his attention on Liaoxi and

On the battlefield in Western Manchuria, no one paid any attention to Baichengzi, a small town located in a corner of Western Manchuria.

Liu Chun commanded two cavalry brigades. They had a lot of fun in Baichengzi and Taonan, but compared with the nearly one million Kwantung Army encircling them, they couldn't get up to the battle status report from the division command staff office. After the bandits were defeated, the next battle

What else are you doing here? You can't just stay in Baichengzi, right?

But Liu Chun was very worried. What he feared most was that the cavalry would return to Outer Mongolia and recapture the Northeast at the command of the division commander. He had nothing to do, so after receiving the telegram from the division commander, he

Liu Chun was so happy that he hurriedly ordered his staff to call Tong Batu, the commander of the second cavalry brigade. Liu Chun himself served as the commander of the first brigade.

As soon as Tong Batu arrived at Liu Chun's headquarters, he saw his excited and red face, "Old Tong, you are here, good news! The division commander has given an order, ordering our cavalry troops to immediately go to the direction of North Manchuria and organize them into the new army.

The North Manchuria combat corps, our cavalry unit, has been nestled in Outer Mongolia. It has been a long time since we fought with the Japs. It’s hard to smell the gunpowder. This time we have a chance. No, this is a telegram!"

With that, he handed the telegram to Tong Batu. After reading the telegram, Tong Batu was not as excited as Liu Chun. He touched the stubble on his face and said with a slight frown: "Commander, I'm not very big."

Do you understand? Look

, the commander of the North Manchuria Combat Corps is Wang Jun, an old acquaintance, the chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, a colonel, but you, a major general, are the deputy commander, and you don’t know how the division commanders are arranged, isn’t it awkward!”

Tong Batu was telling the truth. He was aggrieved for Liu Chun. Liu Chun's position was the commander of the cavalry unit of the independent division. He was a corps-level figure and a veteran-level figure. At the time of the Blood Hand Regiment, he was the cavalry battalion captain.

The Mongolian border defense force has been transformed into a field force

After the formation of the Corps, the Outer Mongolia and Siberia Border Defense Forces were reorganized based on the cavalry units that entered the Outer Mongolia region. The commander-in-chief was Liu Chun. The current area under the jurisdiction of the Outer Mongolia and Siberia Border Defense Forces is astonishingly large.

In addition to the original Outer Mongolia, it also includes the part of Asia that Tang Qiuli cut off from the Soviet Union, east of the 85th parallel north, most of Siberia, up to the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Bering Strait.

The area under its jurisdiction is the largest among all the corps-level commanders of the Independent Division. The other areas under the jurisdiction of the Military and Political Commission combined are not as large as Liu Chun's territory!

Liu Chun understood the old man's mood and said with a nonchalant smile: "Old Tong, both of us are cavalrymen. When it comes to commanding cavalry in battle, among all the first-level commanders of the independent division's corps, no one dares to challenge us.

Yes, but when it comes to commanding a mechanized corps in combat, do you or I do it? There are so many different positions! As for the positions of commander and deputy commander, forget it, as long as there is a battle, it will be done, right old man?"

Tong Batu became silent and muttered: "I just think you're at a loss!" Then, he stopped dwelling on the topic and asked, "By the way, when are we going to set off?"

"What's wrong? I think the division commander's arrangement makes sense!" Liu Chun said with a smile, "Prepare today. The troops will set off early tomorrow morning. The first brigade will leave two regiments, and your brigade will leave one regiment.

Responsible for the security of the Taoliao area

Although the bandits have been dispersed by us, we can't guarantee that they will make a comeback when our main force moves north. We must leave enough troops. I think you can keep your chief of staff, He Xigetu, as the security commander of the Taoliao region.

official!"

Tong Batu didn't think about it and said happily: "Sure! According to the commander's arrangement, Hexi Getu will stay. This guy is a good hand no matter whether he is fighting in the war or handling government affairs. Don't worry about leaving him. In addition, the troops will leave

Which route? How to go?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Chun laughed and said: "Start from Baichengzi, cross Yueyuepao, Zhaozhou, and wait for Commander Wang's troops at Dulbert, north of Zhaozhou. How to go? Fight all the way there, let's

There are more than 7,000 cavalry in hand, and the sabers of the soldiers. It has been a long time since I saw the blood of the Japs! Don’t you, Old Tong, not want to sweep away the Japs and the Manchukuo army along the way?"

Tong Batu laughed, "Fighting with you, Commander Liu, is a pleasure. Sweeping all the way across is just what I want. Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Liu Chun, the cavalry commander of the Independent Division, and Tong Batu, the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, were eager to go to Northern Manchuria to participate in the battle. Tang Qiuli, who was in Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, was writing at his desk.

The newly formed North Manchuria Combat Corps formulated the basic principles and requirements for the North Manchuria Campaign. Although it was already late at night, he had to formulate a combat plan before Wang Jun and the six brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps arrived in Harbin.

Originally, this should be the job of the staff office, but because this battle in Northern Manchuria is an extra part of the overall plan to recapture the Northeast, the original campaign plan did not include the Northern Manchuria area, which is a completely new part.

He must do it himself.

The beating candlelight reflected Tang Qiuli's figure on the window, "...To sum up, the basic principles of the Northern Manchuria Campaign were to attract the Kwantung Army's garrison troops in Harbin and surrounding areas, and the Puppet Manchuria

The national army's garrison strength mainly goes out of the city to fight with our army in the field, so..."

"Harbin!" After writing this, Tang Qiuli put down his pen, his eyes flashing with nostalgia. This familiar place name touched a vivid memory deep in his heart, which he had not opened for a long time.

memory.

A thrilling scene on the train on the way to Harbin with a heavy mission... The Kwantung Army field hospital, the assassination of the puppet commander of the eastern border bandits of Manchukuo, the traitor Shao Benliang... the blowing up of the Kwantung Army "731"

Base..., and then... it was a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the elite Kwantung Army special agents and a pursuit team composed of ninjas in the vast forest of Daxingan Mountains...

..

The girl who became his wife accompanied him all the way, clinging to each other day and night while recuperating in the cave. Under the clear night sky, counting the stars, the two of them in the forest, the sun rising and the moon setting, and the arduous journey for more than a month, their feelings were there.

Crazy growth...scenes from the past were vividly reflected in Tang Qiuli's mind.

Tang Qiuli could no longer sit quietly at the table. Memories that had not been opened for a long time flooded him, especially the figure of Xiaoling, who came out alive with a charming smile and walked from the depths of his memory.

His heart suddenly started to hurt so much that he took a deep breath and walked to the window as if in a dream.

The evening wind in July in eastern Mongolia is blowing with heat, the shadows of the trees are dancing, the leaves are rustling, there is a crescent moon and a few stars in the sky, lonely and far away, "There is a beautiful woman in the north, left behind and independent, looking at the charming city,

If I no longer care about the Qingren country, I would rather not know about the Qingcheng and the Qingguo, the beautiful woman

Hard to come by...hard to come by again!" With a hoarse voice, he recited a shallow chant, weeping and complaining. The candle shadow swayed and the waning moon shone. Tang Qiuli stood in front of the window, like a silhouette in the evening breeze.

The wind blew past and stirred the tips of his mottled hair, but it could not dry the tears on his cheeks.

Shan Hu, who came back from patrolling the special guards outside, had just strode into the small courtyard when he heard the tearful chant of his good brother. His steps suddenly stiffened and his heart suddenly tightened into a ball. Shan Hu knew that Tang

Everything about Qiu Li, and the relationship between him and Xiaoling. Since meeting Liu Xinlan, Xiaoqiu has not touched the painful memory deep in her heart for a long time. What happened today?

Shan Hu knew that in this state, Tang Qiuli was in a trance, his heart was bleeding, and the scarred wounds were torn apart again. He hesitated whether to persuade and comfort his childhood friend, now a brother of life and death.

?

Shan Hu glanced at the figure reflected in the window, only to find that there was another petite and graceful figure standing in front of the door. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, but he was motionless, as if frozen. Shan Hu grinned.

, he saw it, it was Liu Xinlan.
