Age of Conquest Reborn

After nearly a year of careful planning, during which several changes occurred, the current battlefield pattern in the Northeast has been fixed, and the necessary conditions for fully recovering the Northeast have been met. After establishing two regional combat headquarters, Tang Qiuli, commander of the independent division,

, and issued an order to all participating troops

The combat order stated, "All participating troops in the Northeastern battlefield will use one week to rest and recuperate on the battlefield, replenish ammunition and supplies, and adjust troop deployment. The general attack on the surrounded Kwantung Army troops in western Liaoning and Western Manchuria will be in August.

It officially starts at four o'clock in the morning on the 15th!"

Another new day has arrived. In the Eastern Mongolia region in mid-August, it is the season when the autumn air is crisp and the grass is fat and the horses are strong. The ancients believed that this is a season conducive to war. Tang Qiuli was in Kailu County, where the North China Field Corps stayed

, after eating his last breakfast, today, he will leave here with his three wives and all members of the division headquarters, rush to Jinzhou in western Liaoning, and go to the front line to command operations in person.

When I first arrived in Kailu, it was still early spring. On the edge of the Horqin Sandy Land in eastern Mongolia, there were only shallow grass without horse hooves. The spring breeze at night still carried a bit of chill from the Mongolian plateau. When I left, the sky was already clear and the sky was clear.

In the mid-autumn season, the grass can reach up to the knees. I have lived in this small county town for several months. If I say that I don't have the slightest nostalgia, I would be deceiving myself.

Tang Qiu was a sweet-tempered person, so he would naturally miss the good times he spent in Kailu for a few months. He felt a sense of loss in his heart. After breakfast, the three women, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, were busy packing their things.

, Tang Qiuli couldn't get his hands in, so he stood aside, admiring the figures of the three wives, some slender, some plump, or some toned, with their ups and downs of movements. The graceful figures were swaying like flowers, holding their chins in their hands, and they kept clicking their tongues.

Praise.

The three women have become accustomed to their husband's aggressive face like a pig brother. Mei Ting and Mei Xue. They have experienced people for a long time and don't care about it. However, Liu Xinlan is still a young girl, so they received Tang Qiuli's eyes.

Then he touched Mei Xue's arm quietly and whispered: "Sister Xue, look, his eyes almost fell to the ground!"

Mei Xue was so happy that she lay next to Liu Xinlan's ear and whispered softly: "Xinlan, you will get used to it sooner or later. Why? I haven't been given to this guy yet... OK, sister admires you!"

"Mei Xue didn't say the following words. Liu Xinlan's face was already rosy and her cheeks were burning hot. She glared at Mei Xue angrily, "Sister Xue, you know how to bully me!"

Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan murmured and let out bursts of sweet laughter. Mei Ting, on the other hand, saw the different emotions in Tang Qiuli's eyes, so she put down her work, walked up to him, and tidied him up carefully.

Military uniform, said: "Why, as soon as I left Kailu, what was there that I couldn't bear to part with? Isn't that what I'm used to? We are all at home!"

Tang Qiuli stretched out his arm, hugged Mei Ting's slender waist, and said seriously: "I can't bear to part with it. The most reluctant thing is Kailu's mutton. After arriving in Jinzhou, where can I eat such authentic grassland mutton?"

Ah, it’s such a big loss for me!”

Mei Ting was so happy that she bent over. Mei Xue turned around, glared at her husband, wrinkled her cute little nose, and said, "Humph! You are just a foodie. It's not easy to eat mutton. Master Tang!"

Just give an order and send a plane back and forth to transport it!"

Tang Qiuli was speechless, and the three women burst into laughter. At this time, Shan Hu shouted outside the door: "Xiao Qiu, have you packed up? Everyone is waiting for you to go to the airport!"

Tang Qiuli took one last look at the room where he had lived for several months, and then left with his three wives. Dozens of cars quickly drove into the Kailu Field Airport. Ten minutes later, four transport planes arrived

Next, we left Kailu Field Airport and flew to Jinzhou. Looking from the port window of the transport plane, the autumn grasslands in eastern Mongolia were like a green ink painting, dotted with dots of colorful wild flowers, stretching into the distance.

Skyrim.

Tang Qiuli, commander of the independent division, left Kailu in eastern Mongolia and rushed to the northeastern front line of Jinzhou with nostalgia. Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, left Xinjing and returned to the Kwantung Army headquarters in Fengtian with fear and full of fear.

A feeling of helpless failure.

While in Xinjing, Chief of General Matsuda received a telegram from the Military and Administrative Department of the base camp, informing him that General Nanjiro would once again serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, and that he would act as Commander-in-Chief until General Nanjiro took up the post.

.

After receiving the telegram from the base camp, Lieutenant General Matsuda breathed a complete sigh of relief. He knew that his ability was not enough to take on such an important task. During the period when General Umezu Yoshijiro's whereabouts were unknown, the independent division troops had not yet launched a large-scale attack.

I was already exhausted and struggling to cope, but now I'm fine. The old officer has been ordered to do something in danger again, and I can finally get rid of this unfortunate job!

Lieutenant General Matsuda was very convinced of his old commander, General Nanjiro. This confidence came from the skills he had learned through many years of working together. However, for General Nanjiro to once again take over the position of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, his

My heart is also full of worries. The situation in Manchuria has now reached an irreversible level. Even if General Nanjiro has great talents and political skills, he may not be able to reverse the overall situation.

At least in Lieutenant General Matsuda's mind, he believed that the Japanese Empire had been completely defeated in Manchuria. He could not understand that with the political wisdom and insight of the old officer Nanjiro, he could not see that the situation in Manchuria was already precarious and the ship was about to sink.

, Why did you come to Manchuria and wade through this muddy water under such circumstances? Does the old officer think that with his own ability, he can change the situation in Manchuria? To repel the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli?

Impossible, Chief of Staff Matsuda shook his head and sighed. No matter the famous general in the empire, they are powerless to remedy the situation in Manchuria, not even the old commander. If Chief of Staff Matsuda knew, General Nanjiro would definitely have no choice but to take over the mess in Manchuria.

If he knew the inside story, he would not have these doubts!

There is another thing that Chief of Staff Matsuda does not understand, let alone does not understand. In the telegram from the base camp, it only said that Nanjiro was about to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, but said nothing about the current commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Umezu Yoshijiro.

It was not mentioned, and he was not clearly relieved of his duties. Isn't that vague? Although General Umezu's whereabouts are unknown, as long as there is no news that he was captured or died in battle for a day, then General Umezu has a possibility of survival!

"I wonder what those bastards from the Intelligence Headquarters are doing these days? They haven't even gotten any news about General Umezu!" Thinking of this incident, Lieutenant General Matsuda sighed again. More than once, he compared General Umezu with himself.

old chief

General Nanjiro made a comparison. The more he compared, the more he discovered that it was absolutely a wrong decision for the base camp to send Umezu Yoshijiro as the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army. It was General Umezu's series of willful decisions that directly led to the current crisis in Manchuria!

"Perhaps, after the old officer arrives in Manchuria, I can rely on his political wisdom and superb skills to escape from Manchuria, right? I won't be buried in a foreign land!" Lieutenant General Matsuda was full of thoughts, and passed by Dazhou in the evening of the same day.

After midnight and a day of hurrying, we finally arrived at Fengtian. Fortunately, the journey was safe, and the independent division's tentacles had not yet reached the area between Fengtian and Xingjing.

This is due to the fact that the guard captain of the Kwantung Army headquarters tried his best to avoid dangerous areas and did not hesitate to walk more than ten hours. Otherwise, the road back to Fengtian would happen to pass through the Kwantung Army's Western Manchuria Assault Corps, with more than 80,000 soldiers.

Chief of Staff Matsuda did not take a plane on the battlefield where people defected. He knew that the sky in Manchuria did not belong to the Japanese Empire. His plane could be beaten into a ball of fire by fighter jets from the Independent Division at any time!

After arriving in Fengtian, it was completely dark. The dim street lights shone on the bumpy road. There were only a few pedestrians on the street. Even the brothels and restaurants that were usually crowded with people were deserted. From time to time, I saw sun flags.

, fluttering feebly a few times in the evening breeze of the city, and then remaining dejectedly motionless, all this shows that Fengtian, the largest city in Manchuria and the center of the empire's rule in the Northeast, is already in a dying and precarious state of extinction.

middle!

Everything he saw on Fengtian Street made Chief of Staff Matsuda, who was already in a bad mood, feel even more gloomy without a trace of light. The road was bumpy for more than a day. In order to avoid dangerous areas, he took remote mountain roads and almost missed his chance.

His body was not broken to pieces!

He should have returned to the official residence and had a good night's rest, but Chief of Staff Matsuda knew that at the Kwantung Army headquarters at this moment, there were countless things and telegrams waiting for him to deal with. Of course, there was no good thing!

Therefore, when the guard captain asked for instructions whether to return to the official residence first, Chief of Staff Matsuda shook his head and said: "No, go directly back to the headquarters!"

Lieutenant General Matsuda, who was extremely tired, dragged his aching body and staggered up the long steps of the Kwantung Army headquarters building. Before he could enter the door, he saw an officer with the rank of colonel stretched out his arms at the entrance of the headquarters.

Long Neck looked around and saw Lieutenant General Matsuda, surrounded by guards and staff, appearing at the entrance of the headquarters. The colonel officer rushed up to meet him as if he were a relative.

This colonel officer, named Ushio Inada, is the director of the Operations Division of the Kwantung Army Headquarters and one of the confidants of Chief of Staff Matsuda. However, his excitement made Chief Matsuda baffled. At the same time, he felt very dissatisfied. Regardless of

Under any circumstances, the officers of the Empire of Japan should have a demeanor, and they should not change their expressions even if the mountain collapses. What does this mean?

As a result, Chief of Staff Matsuda waited for Colonel Ushio to arrive and asked displeasedly: "Ushio-kun, what's the big deal? How can you be so flustered?"
