Age of Conquest Reborn

Frankly speaking, the division commander Tang Qiuli issued a combat order to protect the cities in the Northeast, and he did not hesitate to use the Intelligence Division and the Investigation Division. The covert intelligence and agent systems in various parts of the Northeast have suffered greater losses, as Shen Jun, Director of the Investigation Division, said

Like that, even after the liberation of Northeast China, some branches must remain secret for a long time. The industry that two people work in requires that their opponents never know the details.

Yu Deshui, Director of the Intelligence Department, and Shen Jun, Director of the Investigation Department, got together and for the first time they objected to the division commander's order. Shen Jun wanted to send a telegram to the division commander to explain the special situation between him and Yu Deshui, but Yu Deshui

De Shui thought that it might not have any effect.

Seeing that Shen Jun was anxious, Yu Deshui still said calmly: "What's the use of being anxious? My idea is to implement the division commander's order, but we must also have reservations. Organizations that are not open to the public are not those that do not participate in the defense of Northeastern cities.

Instead of fighting in a different way, we still operate in the dark and provide intelligence to the special operations detachment as much as possible. What do you think?"

"It's doable, it's absolutely doable!" Shen Jun nodded repeatedly, "But brother, the two of us have to establish an offensive and defensive alliance. This matter is illegal. If the division commander knew about it, we would be compromised in executing the order, and we would definitely not be able to bear it.

Walk around!"

Yu Deshui glared at Shen Jun angrily, "I didn't find out about your mother-in-law before. I'm not saying that I won't follow the teacher's orders, but I just changed the method. Of course, it's best not to let the teacher know, by the way.

Contact Captain Chu, he is our boss now!"

Shen Jun looked at Yu Deshui with admiration and said very sincerely: "Brother, I have known you for several years. In the independent division, no one is closer than the two of us, but I still feel that I can't see through it.

I admire you for this one move! I admire you from the bottom of my heart!"

The long wind in August blew through the desert wilderness in the lush land of Western Manchuria. The sun set in the west and the sunset glow was like blood. Lieutenant General Tosa Kaga, the temporary supreme commander of the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria and the commander of the Third Army, stood on a high hill.

above, looking at the soldiers of the Third Army under his command. They walked silently. Under the reflection of the sunset, the soldiers' helmets reflected a dark red luster, like a piece of bright red blood flowing on the green field.

According to the order of Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro, the breakout force in the Western Manchuria area, mainly the Third Army, tore open the southern encirclement of the Independent Division. From the bottom of his heart, Lieutenant General Tosa did not believe that the breakout plan ordered by the headquarters could succeed.

.

Before the Independent Division formed an encirclement against the Kwantung Army troops in the Western Manchuria area, it conducted numerous breakout operations, all of which ended in failure. More than ten days have passed, and the independent division's encirclement has been completely closed, and there will no longer be any breakthrough for the Kwantung Army.

opportunity, and a horizontal breakthrough. In the view of Lieutenant General Tosa, it was an adventure with no chance of winning. Therefore, the Third Army may become the first of several Kwantung Army armies in Western Manchuria to be completely annihilated.

From the current encirclement, break through to the west of Liaoning. Even if the breakout is successful with the blessing of Amaterasu, there is still a road full of hardships ahead. The damn mountains of western Manchuria and the crisscrossing rivers will become obstacles for the Kwantung Army to move closer to the west of Liaoning.

.After the successful breakout, the Independent Division troops will not allow more than 400,000 Kwantung Army soldiers to go south. Maybe all the Kwantung Army soldiers will be buried in the Qilaotu Mountains and Nuruerhu Mountains?

Lieutenant General Tosa is pessimistic. The reason for his pessimism comes from the current situation of the Kwantung Army. Taking his own Third Army as an example, all the supplies, despite the military logistics department's careful planning, can only provide the soldiers with two rare meals a day.

They had gruel for everyone, but without external supplies, they were sitting on nothing. The supplies had been cut off a week ago.

Thanks to the land in Manchuria in August, most of the crops in the fields are half-ripe. Relying on these half-ripe crops, the soldiers did not starve to death. All edible things in the encirclement were wiped out by the hungry soldiers. More than 40

Thousands of soldiers, crowded into a radius of less than 200 kilometers, might even eat up the grass roots?

If it continues, more than 400,000 soldiers may starve to death. Lieutenant General Tosa has discussed with several other army commanders that if there is no order from the headquarters, they can only break out desperately, which is better than starving to death in the wilderness of Western Manchuria.

Ridge, the direction they agreed upon to break out of the encirclement was still the line from Siping to Shuangliao, moving closer to Xinjing. Even if all the troops were exhausted, they still had to break through.

The order from the headquarters came, but it was to break out to the south, pass through hundreds of kilometers of mountainous areas, and move closer to the west of Liaoning. The order from the headquarters must be implemented. Several army commanders took the order and studied it for a long time. There was no objection. It made sense.

Simple, instead of starving to death or being annihilated in the encirclement of the Western Manchurian Independent Division, it is better to take a risk and wait for death!

Lieutenant General Tosa did not doubt the correctness of Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro's order, but he did not have the slightest confidence in the breakout operation. The queue passing in front of him, the soldiers' vain steps, and slow movements all told him that this was an army.

A tired warrior who has lost his fighting spirit and will, shrouded in hunger!

Lieutenant General Tosa looked at the western sky, the faded sunset, and the vast twilight fields. He sighed and the chief of staff beside him advised: "Your Excellency, Commander, you don't have to worry too much. Maybe this is a way out. The Commander-in-Chief is not

Did you send a telegram to tell us that the Seventh Army in western Liaoning is heading north to meet us? Let’s go, the troops have already set off!”

"Maybe it's a way out?" Lieutenant General Tosa smiled bitterly. He pinned the fate of more than 400,000 soldiers on "maybe". It was a helpless move with no chance of winning. For some reason, he seemed to start late.

In the wind, I smell the strong smell of blood!

Deep in the Nuruerhu Mountains, this place is more than 70 kilometers away from the original encirclement. Six brigades of the southern line of the Western Manchuria Theater Command were ordered to retreat and build a blocking line in the mountainous area. The North China Field Corps

Colonel Han Guangqi, the Chief of Staff, rushed here to command the troops on the southern front under the orders of Commander Sun Zhenbang and Deputy Commander Yuan Jinghao. He set up his headquarters on the highest mountain.

Han Guangqi rushed to the blocking line and immediately held a military meeting. A colonel presided over the meeting. Six major generals and brigade commanders listened attentively below. It was a strange scene. However, this was the rule of the independent division. The position was higher than the military rank. Han Guangqi

He is the chief of staff of the North China Field Corps, and now he also serves as the chief of staff of the Western Manchuria Theater Command. In terms of position, he is higher than the several brigade commanders here.

Han Guangqi didn't waste any time, "When we arrived, the two commanders specially ordered us to withdraw the troops on the southern line of the encirclement circle to the Qilaotu Mountains and the Nuruerhu Mountains. It was the order of the division commander. Our mission is to

Here, the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops who are breaking through in the direction of Liaoxi will be blocked in the mountainous area, creating favorable conditions for the general offensive troops to annihilate the enemy in the mountainous area!"

"The terrain conditions are extremely favorable to us. As long as we block a few major mountain passes, even if the Kwantung Army forces a mass of people, they can't even think about getting past. Commanders Sun and Yuan have also adjusted the deployment of their troops accordingly, and they are tight in our blocking positions.

When the time comes, the troops on the left and right wings will catch up with reinforcements, so the brigade commanders can fight boldly with confidence. In addition, the aviation troops will provide all-weather air fire support to our blocking troops!"

"The specific interception plan has been distributed by the theater command to all brigades. Just follow it and implement it. Everyone, do you have any specific difficulties? Put it forward immediately and I will report it to the command immediately. There is still time!"

"Chief of Staff Han, there is no difficulty. We just need to ensure that the shells of our artillery cannot be interrupted. Given the terrain conditions here, a heavy artillery regiment can block the little devils all the way. When fighting, we rely on the artillery. The shells must be controlled.

That’s enough!”

"That's it, there is a long ditch with mountain peaks on both sides that are not suitable for passing. The little devils can only take a few roads. Wherever a heavy artillery regiment goes, the artillery fire will cover all directions. The little devils are looking for death. After the fight,

, I don’t even need infantry to take action!” Several brigade commanders said half-jokingly.

This is the truth. There is no difficulty. The troops participating in the battle in Western Manchuria have rested on the battlefield for four or five days. The soldiers have rested mentally and physically and are in a state of vitality. From time to time, battalion and company-level officers come to the brigade.

Ministry of inquiry, what?

When will the general offensive begin? The troops' war-fighting mood is at an all-time high. The Peiping Rear Joint Service Department has replenished the troops with enough ammunition and supplies for half a month. From top to bottom, all troops are gearing up, waiting for the little Japs to come forward.

Come to die,

The military meeting ended in a short time. Each brigade commander hurried back to his defense zone. Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army, came directly to the 1st Regiment position. He held up his binoculars and

Taking advantage of the time when the sky was not completely dark, I looked at the group's position carefully, nodded repeatedly with satisfaction, and then asked the guards to call the regiment leader, Colonel Hasbagan.

Wang Qingshan looked at this strong Mongolian man and said in a loud voice: "Has, you also fought against the old Maozi soldiers in Outer Mongolia. The blocking battle is not only about defense, but also about surprise moves!"

Hasbogen blinked his eyes and asked in slightly stiff Chinese: "Brigadier Commander, we occupy a favorable terrain, the defense depth is sufficient, and there is artillery support from the rear. We just wait for the Kwantung Army to come and die. Or

What kind of trick are you using?"

Wang Qingshan hated iron and said: "You are just a stubborn person. During the Second Outer Mongolia War, in the north of Kulun, across the south bank of the river, we blocked Lao Maozi's troops. How did our brigade fight?"

Hasbogen slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Brigadier, I understand, go and make arrangements immediately!"

Wang Qingshan clasped his hands behind his back with satisfaction and said: "Hey! I finally got the idea. Landmines are effective in mountain blocking warfare and mountain defense warfare. Lay mines on the path that the little devil must pass, but you must pay attention. The density cannot be

If the minefield is too big, the minefield must be at least ten kilometers ahead of your regiment's position. Wait for the little Japs to pass through the minefield, run over like a leader, and then hit them hard with artillery shells. Tell me, what effect will that have?"
