Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2696 Capture Vladivostok

At dusk, in the city of Xinjing, Major General Yang Jiadong, commander of the siege force of the Independent Division and commander of the 5th Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, was also anxiously waiting for orders from the division commander. Puyi, the Kant Emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo State, and a large group of ministers

As well as the harem concubines and eunuchs, there are more than 200 people in total. It is not a big deal to always be detained at Cuijiayingzi Airport. In Yang Jiadong's view, the Kande Emperor is just a big burden.

If they were prisoners of war from the Kwantung Army, it would be easier to handle. There were previous examples of all being taken to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. But what he had in his hands was not a prisoner of war from the Kwantung Army. Speaking of which, Yang Jiadong was not very happy.

Xinjing scored ten

In the next day, the total number of captured Kwantung Army prisoners of war and puppet Manchuria prisoners of war was less than 5,000. Instead, they were captured by the puppet Manchukuo government employees, such as the chiefs, deputy chiefs, and directors of various ministries.

There were a large number of people, totaling 16,000 to 16,000 people.

Altogether, there are more than 20,000 prisoners. How to deal with them has to wait for the order of the division commander. The troops attacking Fengtian, Xinjing and Harbin have been separated from their original organizations and returned to the direct command of the division commander. Under the command of the Kwantung Army Military Police Commander in Xinjing

Yang Jiadong, who was encamped in the ministry, received a call from the commander of the troops at Cuijiayingzi Airport, "Commander, you should come up with an idea quickly, I am almost in chaos here!"

Yang Jiadong was surprised, "What's going on? Please speak clearly!"

"Commander, what kind of prisoners did we capture? Those eunuchs and puppet Manchukuo officials were shouting and crying for fear of being shot. Some of them took out gold and silver to bribe our soldiers.

.Let him escape secretly, that Emperor Kant is looking for death and survival!"

Yang Jiadong became angry. "Let me tell you, if someone escapes or dies, don't be the leader of the regiment! Keep strict supervision and strengthen the security!"

Putting down the phone, Yang Jiadong was breathing heavily. At this time, the director of the brigade communications department came in. "Commander, I received a telegram from the division commander about these prisoners of the puppet Manchukuo we captured!"

Yang Jiadong grabbed him and sent a telegram. "I have learned from the call that the identities of these prisoners are special and sensitive. I order your department to send out a capable force to escort them safely to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. No mistakes should be made during the journey."

, In addition, the division commander appointed Yang Jiadong, commander of the siege force and commander of the 5th Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, as the acting commander of the Xinjing Security Command, responsible for all public security matters in the Xinjing city!"

Yang Jiadong breathed a sigh of relief and finally dealt with this special batch of prisoners. However, regarding the appointment of the division commander, his thoughts were the same as those of Marine Corps Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan. His scalp was tight. Is this the case for leaving the field battle in Outer Mongolia?

The order of operations of the corps, and served in the local garrison?

From a brigade commander of a field force to a commander of a local garrison commander, Yang Jiadong absolutely did not like this change of identity, but he did not have Wang Dongshan's courage and dared to think of sending a telegram directly to the division commander. Therefore, for the division commander

Yang Jiadong, who was in a depressed mood, ordered two regiments of troops to be sent to escort the captives to Kulun in Outer Mongolia, and then plunged into the work of restoring public security and market order in Xinjing.

among.

Tang Qiuli made the decision after careful consideration to escort Puyi and other puppet Manchukuo personnel to Kulun in Outer Mongolia. At first, he wanted to escort Puyi and others to Peking for custody, but he felt it was inappropriate.

There were quite a few leftovers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, old and young. Maybe they could use Puyi's name to create something famous. Wouldn't I be giving them a symbolic figure?

Although these Manchu remnants, old and young, could not afford to cause much trouble, they were still unexpected troubles. After much deliberation, it was more appropriate to send Puyi and others to the prisoner-of-war camp in Kulun, Outer Mongolia. This eliminated any ulterior motives.

Of course, Tang Qiuli also sent a telegram to Li Honggang in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, specifically emphasizing that Puyi and others should not be treated the same as Kwantung Army prisoners of war!

In other words, unlike Pu Yi, who was an internal conflict that was resolved behind closed doors, the prisoners of war of the Kwantung Army were invaders. Tang Qiuli's doing so was considered to be giving Pu Yi preferential treatment. In his eyes, this

The poor last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty could spend the rest of his life peacefully. At least, he didn't have to live in fear all day long!

With the recapture of Xinjing, among the three major cities in the Northeast, only Harbin has not yet been captured. Although the two commanders of the North Manchu Combat Group, Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and the Independent Division Commander Cavalry Unit

Commander Liu Chunshao

The general used a small plan to attract the main garrison strength of the Kwantung Army in the urban area of ​​Harbin to the wild areas. He dealt a heavy blow to the Wujia and Bungalow areas. However, the garrison strength of the Kwantung Army in the urban area of ​​Harbin was still there.

There are more than 10,000 people.

Coupled with the garrison strength of the Puppet Manchuria Army, there are more than 40,000 people. This is the special situation of the Harbin area. Unlike Fengtian and Xinjing, before the decision to attack, the Kwantung Army and the Puppet Manchuria Army garrison strength in these two places

, has been exhausted, and Harbin’s Kwantung Army and Puppet Manchuria garrison forces are basically well preserved. If you don’t want to place the battlefield in Harbin’s urban area, you have to rely on time and take your time!

Obviously, the news that the other two siege troops of the Independent Division had recovered Fengtian and Xinjing stimulated Wang Jun and Liu Chun. It would be a lie to say that they were not in a hurry. No, now in Tang Qiuli's hands,

There are telegrams from two people.

The content of the telegram is the latest operational plan for attacking Harbin formulated by the North Manchuria Combat Group Headquarters. The core content is to use the strong military and firepower advantages to storm Harbin. Moreover, Wang Jun and Liu Chun are full of confidence.

I guarantee that we will use five days to completely capture Harbin!

"Wang Jun and Liu Chun are anxious!" Tang Qiuli said with a smile to Ge Zhenzhuang, director of the Division's General Staff Department.

Ge Zhenzhuang expressed his understanding, "Commander, the anxiety of the North Manchuria Combat Group Headquarters is also reasonable. The three big cities in the Northeast, Fengtian and Xinjing, have been recovered, and among the three siege forces, the North

The Man combat group has the strongest troops and equipment, and the battle was also the first to start, but now it is lagging behind, and the two commanders Wang and Liu do not dare to succumb to others!"

"The situations are different, how can we treat them all the same!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "The situation in Harbin is special. I called Wang Jun and Liu Chun back. After careful consideration, the division commander disagrees with your plan to attack Harbin!"

"For the remaining forces of the Kwantung Army and the puppet Manchurian rebels that have retreated to the urban area of ​​Harbin, it is not necessary to resort to forceful attacks. Instead, we can adopt long-term siege tactics to tire and consume their will to resist and strive for their surrender. If so, then

Harbin can be saved from the scourge of war. In addition, the division commander has ordered Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, to rush to Harbin in person to command the infiltration troops!"

"In addition, mind-attack tactics can be adopted. The division command intelligence office will provide your department with information on the suicides of more than 20 senior officers including Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro of the Kwantung Army and Chief of General Staff Kenjiro Matsuda, as well as information on the battlefields in Western Manchuria and Western Liaoning.

The main force of the Kwantung Army, surrender and other information are used as the basis for the tactics of attacking the heart. There is a saying in the art of war, 'attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom!' Xu Tuzhi, the best strategy is the position!"

After receiving the order from the division commander, Wang Jun and Liu Chun, who were ready to fight, had to stop their activities and ordered the prepared troops to be on standby. Wang Jun looked at Liu Chun and said distressedly: "Commander Liu, regarding the division commander's proposal,

Tactics, what do you think?"

Liu Chun said fiercely: "What are your ideas? If the division commander doesn't allow a strong attack, then we will change our tactics and surround Harbin. It will be watertight and not even a mouse will be let out. Not even a grain of grain or a vegetable will be released outside."

We are not allowed to enter the city, and the food roads are cut off. How long can the little Japs last? The entire Northeast is in our hands. Even if we are on an isolated island in Harbin, even if we are surrounded, I can trap the little Japs to death!"

Harbin, an isolated city, had no impact on the battle to regain the Northeast. Tang Qiuli's attention would not be directed to Harbin. On September 11, Colonel Han Guangqi, chief of staff of the North China Field Corps, commanded a rapid mechanized force.

, after clearing the peripheral Kwantung Army local garrison units, they launched a full-scale attack on Vladivostok. After three days of fierce fighting, on September 14, Vladivostok was completely captured.

In this campaign, the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division spent three days annihilating more than 18,000 Kwantung Army Vladivostok garrison troops, including a Marine Regiment of the Japanese Far East Fleet. With the cooperation of the infiltration troops,

Most of the military port facilities have been preserved from destruction by the Kwantung Army. However, Vladivostok is called the anchorage of the Japanese Far East Fleet, but in fact, there are no warships at all!

The Japanese Navy and the Americans are fighting fiercely in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The Japanese Navy's Far East Fleet has already set off for the battlefield. There are only dilapidated ships in the military port, no more than a dozen. This makes Han Guangqi, who is preparing to make a fortune,

, I hate it so much that my teeth itch.

The recovery of Vladivostok is of great significance. This ice-free port facing the Sea of ​​Japan and allowing access to the vast Pacific Ocean has been plagued by disasters. After 1856, the corrupt and cowardly Manchu Qing government was beaten to pieces by polar bears. Regulations

Vladivostok was jointly managed by China and Russia. Four years later, during the Second Opium War, Tsarist Russia struck again and dealt a severe blow to the crumbling Manchu Qing government. It signed the "Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing" and officially ceded Vladivostok to

Tsarist Russia.

Along with Vladivostok, 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, were ceded. As a result, Vladivostok became the base of Tsarist Russia’s Pacific Fleet, and it became a sharp claw of the polar bear extending into the Pacific Ocean.

.

Later, during the Russo-Japanese War, Vladivostok was occupied by the Japanese army and became the bridgehead and rear base for the Japanese army to attack the Far East of the Soviet Union. Now, it was finally fully recovered in the hands of Tang Qiuli!

Seeing Han Guangqi's victory telegram, Tang Qiuli was so excited that he could hardly control himself!
