Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2697 The autumn wind sweeps the leaves

The significance of the troops of the Independent Division's North China Field Corps in recapturing Vladivostok lies not only in the fact that it wipes out decades of shame and makes "Vladivostok," the Russian word meaning "Conqueror of the East," full of insulting meaning.

Place names will forever become the dust of history, and their greater significance lies in their military value.

The Independent Division mobilized more than two million troops to launch a campaign to regain the entire Northeast from the western part of Northeast China. With the recovery of Vladivostok, it meant that the attack route of the Independent Division troops had penetrated the entire Northeast, across the Sea of ​​Japan, Vladivostok

It can be a sharp arrow shot into the hinterland of Japan, which will definitely make the Japanese feel like they have a sharp edge on their backs, making it difficult for them to sleep or eat well.

Tang Qiuli immediately called back to Han Guangqi, "I am very pleased to hear that your ministry has recovered Vladivostok and avenged our country's shame. I have specially appointed Colonel Han Guangqi, chief of staff of the North China Field Corps, to serve as acting commander of the Vladivostok Garrison Command. He quickly

We must quickly eliminate the remaining foundations of Japanese rule, restore public order in the city, and protect all dock facilities in the military port. The division commander will also make arrangements as soon as possible to receive the Northeast Working Group and dispatch capable personnel to take over Vladivostok."

After receiving the telegram, Han Guangqi had mixed emotions. What he was happy about was that the division commander gave such a high evaluation to the recapture of Vladivostok. It was not only his own honor, but also the honor of the North China Field Corps, because the troops who recaptured Vladivostok were all from the North China Field Corps.

What is worrying is that Han Guangqi's thoughts are exactly the same as those of Marine Corps Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan and Brigadier Yang Jiadong of the 5th Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. They are all worried about whether they will be separated after serving as commander of the local security headquarters.

The original order of battle of field troops was changed to serving in local troops. This was naturally very uncomfortable for the officers who had always longed to fight on the battlefield. When I thought about not having to fight in the future, I felt empty!

Han Guangqi was more courageous than Wang Dongshan and Yang Jiadong. He immediately sent a telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli, "Commander, I received the call. Your praise is extremely valuable to all the officers and soldiers participating in the war.

I am greatly encouraged, but there is one thing that makes me worried about my humble position, that is, the appointment of my position by the division commander. Does it mean that from now on, I will be separated from the combat order of the North China Field Corps and will instead serve in the local army?"

The telegram arrived in Tang Qiuli's hands. After reading it, he was shocked at first, then laughed, and said to Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the General Staff Department: "I overlooked a problem. Look. Recapture Fengtian, Xinjing and Vladivostok.

It is to immediately appoint the commander of the offensive force. He serves as the acting commander of the garrison command. Within our independent division, there is an unwritten rule that the garrison force is a second-line local force!"

"As for the local security forces, they rarely have the opportunity to fight on the front line. Of course, the officers of the field corps are dissatisfied with their new positions! I am afraid that Wang Dongshan and Yang Jiadong are also muttering in their hearts at this moment, but there is no

Han Guangqi is so brave, he dares to directly send a telegram to ask me!"

"Commander, how do I call you back? If this problem is not solved, there may be some work to recover the area!" Ge Zhenzhuang said with serious concern.

From Ge Zhenzhuang's point of view, he naturally dislikes these senior officers who are picky about their positions. In his opinion, this is a sign of disobedience to military orders, but if he puts himself in his shoes, Ge Zhenzhuang still understands that they are all soldiers, right?

, who doesn’t want to fight hard on the battlefield of blood and fire, make achievements, and how much he can do in the local army. I am afraid that with the recovery of the entire Northeast, there will no longer be a chance to fight?

"How to call back?" Tang Qiuli still laughed, "It's simple, call back to Han Guangqi, Wang Dongshan, and Yang Jiadong respectively, and tell them that Anxin's current job is just an agency, and you are the only ones thinking about fighting.

If you guys really hand over a city's security force to you, I'm not at ease!"

"Phew!" Ge Zhenzhuang was amused by the division commander's words, "Okay, division commander, I will send a telegram right away. I'm afraid, this is the telegram they are most happy to see!"

After Ge Zhenzhuang left, Tang Qiuli called in the communications staff and dictated a telegram to Tang Qiuquan, commander of the naval fleet, "Brother Qiuquan, the troops of the North China Field Corps have successfully recovered Vladivostok, and most of the military port facilities are well preserved.

My opinion is to immediately establish the Second Northern Fleet, based in Vladivostok. Regarding the choice of commander of the fleet, I mean Major General Amosiev, the current deputy commander of the fleet, as the choice of chief of staff, Brother Qiuquan.

You can consider it for sure!”

Tang Qiuquan, who was commanding the fleet in the Korean Strait, immediately responded to the telegram, "The caller informed me that I have no objections to the division commander's arrangements. Arrangement in Vladivostok as soon as possible will be conducive to our future military operations to attack the Japanese mainland. Regarding the staff of the Second Northern Fleet,

Can Colonel Tang Yunfei, the current commander of the fleet’s carrier-based aircraft, be selected as the chief candidate?”

"Tang Yunfei?" A vivid figure of a handsome but stubborn little boy appeared in Tang Qiuli's mind, "Uncle Qiuli, these are the sparrows I shot. They are delicious when burned! They are not willing to eat them.

I'll keep it for you!" When I was in my hometown in Northeast China, my little nephew Tang Yunfei, who was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, was clinging to me yesterday, like a follower!

"Little guy! He must be in his twenties this year. I haven't seen him for a few years and he has become a colonel commander in the blink of an eye!" Tang Qiuli smiled and shook his head thinking that he also knew what Brother Qiuquan wanted from his nephew.

It is very strict, it can be said that it is stricter than other officers' requirements. This little nephew of mine does not receive extra care because of the status of the two uncles.

The reason why Tang Yunfei has achieved what he has today is entirely due to his own hard work. He has experienced life and death situations several times. Brother Qiuquan can propose that Tang Yunfei be the chief of staff of the newly formed fleet. Naturally, his vision is not bad.

And I have no power to stop his progress!

"I agree with Brother Qiuquan's proposal. Can you arrange for Yunfei to come to Jinzhou before he goes to serve in the Second Northern Fleet? I haven't seen him in several years!" This was the telegram from Tang Qiuli to Tang Qiuquan.

On September 18, on this special day of September 18th, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, Major General Sun Zhenbang, sent a battle report. According to the order of the division commander, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps divided into multiple routes and swept across northern and eastern Manchuria.

In the northern region, Qiqihar and Jiage were recovered successively.

In Daqi, Heihe, Suifenhe, Yichun, Hegang, Jiamusi and other places, a total of more than 80,000 local garrison troops of the Kwantung Army and the local garrison forces of the Puppet Manchuria Army have been annihilated. Now troops are stationed along the Heilongjiang border, ready to attack the Far East at any time.

Provide powerful support on the battlefield!

On September 23, the commander of the North China Field Corps, Major General Yuan Jinghao, sent a battle report. In accordance with the orders of the division commander, the North China Field Corps troops, except for the troops that recaptured Vladivostok, the main force of the Corps, were divided into multiple offensive forces to successively recapture the East.

The full Mudanjiang, Jixi, Qitaihe, Shuangyashanrao, Hehe and other places, as well as Chenbing Yuboli and other places, can join the Far East battlefield at any time!

As the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the North China Field Corps have won successive victories, the entire Northeast, except Harbin, has been recovered. This is naturally the biggest good news. It means that the battle to regain the Northeast has been planned for more than a year.

It’s a complete victory!

However, Tang Qiuli also read other meanings from the telegrams sent by Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao. Both of them intended for the command post to join the Far East battlefield, and their intention was quite strong. As the supreme commander of the independent division, Tang Qiuli

Li Ziran likes his subordinates' enthusiasm for fighting. Are you a soldier? He should hear the sound of guns and cannons there, and his blood will immediately boil. He will jump on his horse and rush to the battlefield with his sword in hand!

But in the current Far East battlefield, there is no need to continue to invest troops. Liu Tiehan's East Point troops and the direct corps commanded by Division Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, with a combined strength of more than 1.2 million, can completely attack Japan's Far East.

Sending troops creates a decisive strength advantage, but increasing the strength is a waste!

Therefore, Tang Qiuli's reply immediately extinguished the enthusiasm of Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao, "As far as the current Far Eastern battlefield is concerned, there is no need to continue to increase the number of troops. The main task of your unit now is to assist in taking over the work in the Northeast.

The various divisions of the regiment have completed the formation of local governments, established political power, and eliminated banditry and the remaining stragglers of the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Army. This work is no simpler and easier than recovering the Northeast. I hope you two will devote yourself to it!"

After reading the reply from the teacher, Sun Zhenbang and Yuan Jinghao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​​​fighting in the Far East battlefield and plunged into the work of assisting in the reception of the Northeast Working Group and the establishment of local political power in various groups.

However, because

Since it was not too far away from the battlefield in the Far East, the vague sound of artillery and the aviation groups flying over the station from time to time still made the two of them feel itchy. However, the division commander had an order and could only listen to the sound of artillery.

Swallowed!

On the same day, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison, which ended the Liaoxi Campaign, excluding the troops responsible for escorting more than 300,000 Kwantung Army prisoners of war to Kulun, Outer Mongolia, had more than 400,000 troops. After a few days of rest, the soldiers

Their physical strength is completely

After recovering and replenishing ammunition and supplies, we set off again. According to the orders of the division commander, we set off from the land route, passed the China-North Korea border, and entered the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. We were ready to join the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula and deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese and Korean garrison troops.

.

The battle to regain the Northeast is the most important part of the northern campaign planned by Tang Qiuli. Now, except for Harbin, the entire Northeast is no longer war-free. What is left is the Korean Peninsula, which is fighting tepidly.

battlefield, and the battlefield in the Far East where blood and flesh were everywhere.

Regarding the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, according to Tang Qiuli's plan, it was left to be resolved at the end. Therefore, his attention and vision were completely focused on the already bitterly cold Far East battlefield, where the Japanese were in the north.

The last heavy troop group - Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force.
