Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 353 North China is busy mobilizing troops

Different experiences and new feelings have caused fundamental changes in Mei Ting's inner world. She truly recorded this change in her diary, "Love has arrived. Although it is just the first hint, it has already made me...

As soon as I wash away the dust and mud, I feel as if I am floating in the air. This beautiful feeling often makes me wake up laughing in my dreams."

"At midnight, I carefully looked at the sleeping big boy next to me. It felt like I was in a dream. He has occupied my entire body and mind. I can't imagine what my life would be like without him."

"Thank God for allowing me to come to North China, meet him, and become the most precious treasure in my life. He is like a thick book. I just opened the first few pages. I will use

All of life, come and understand him."

"Today, that cute little warrior called me sister-in-law. It was the first time I heard someone call me that. My heart was as panicked as a drum, but I felt happier than ever before. Qiu Li is very happy that everyone calls me that.

, from his eyes, I saw the expectation and encouragement, maybe, I should change and give up a lot, and try my best to be a good sister-in-law."

Mei Ting had the habit of keeping a diary. She recorded many of her feelings in North China in her diary. Between the lines, there is a vivid Mei Ting, telling her own thoughts in front of you.

Later, whenever Tang Qiuli opened these diaries, he would see familiar handwriting, and Mei Ting's clear and sweet voice would always ring in his ears. He could not help but shed tears on his clothes, unable to restrain himself. These diaries became

He took his most precious and beloved thing and accompanied him on the battlefield of blood and fire, fighting in the vast land.

In these busy days, time flies by quickly, and it is already the end of September in a blink of an eye. The weather is gradually getting colder. Occasionally, I can see groups of wild geese flying overhead, and their clear calls can be heard in the vast and clear sky.

Deep in the valley, you can occasionally see maple leaves dyed red by early frost. On the North China Plain, various crops are full of ripe fruits, bulging and swollen. It is a scene of abundant harvest. It should be a happy season.

But the turbulent and complicated situation has caused many smiles to be lost on people's faces.

Although the Japanese have not made any big moves, they are constantly increasing troops from the mainland to North China. Large Japanese freighters come and go from Tianjin Port every day.

The information coming from the three intelligence networks in Tianjin was surprisingly consistent in content. They were all news about the Japanese army increasing its troops.

In addition to the original more than 40,000 Japanese garrison troops in North China and the Japanese base camp, six divisions and other troops were gradually transferred from Japan.

These six divisions are all permanent first-class field divisions of the Japanese Army. They are fully staffed and equipped with heavy artillery regiments. The combat effectiveness and firepower of the soldiers are very powerful.

After various investigations by agents of the **Division's Intelligence Department, they had learned all about the Japanese troops. Yu Deshui, the Director of the **Division's Intelligence Department, organized the information and handed it over to the division commander. What Tang Qiuli saw now

, which is the overall strength of the Japanese army in North China.

The newly transferred Japanese troops to North China were designated as: 8th Division, 11th Division, 12th Division, 16th Division, 17th Division, 21st Division, Katayama

Mixed Brigade, Akiba Mixed Brigade, Ono Tank Regiment, Guoqi Detachment, Takashima Detachment, Murakami Task Force.

In this way, the total strength of the Japanese army in North China has reached 280,000, which far exceeds the combined strength of the 29th Army and the ** Division.

In addition, the Kwantung Army also dispatched two first-class divisions to be stationed on the line from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan, ready to coordinate the military operations of the Japanese army in North China.

There are various signs that the Japanese army will definitely fight in North China. It is only a matter of time. An accidental opportunity will become an excuse and reason for the Japanese army to launch a full-scale war. There is no need for any excuse or reason.

All this was within Tang Qiuli's expectation, but it was very different from the historical data he had. According to historical records, the total strength of the Japanese army in North China at this time was only about 120,000, and

What kind of small field vehicle regiment would it be without this?

Is history untrue, or has history changed because of your own appearance?

Tang Qiuli didn't understand. Anyway, he knew that the Chinese Army was already at a disadvantage in North China. Perhaps, without its own Army divisions, the Japanese base camp would not have spent such a large sum of money to replace the domestic permanent divisions.

, most of them were transferred to North China.

Their main target is their own Army Division. It is conceivable that once the war starts, the Army Division will become the first target of attack by the Japanese army. The Japanese army will definitely use all their strength to attack and get rid of the Army Division as a thorn in the side.

Eliminate the threat behind it, otherwise, the Japanese army will not be able and dare not go south smoothly and attack the hinterland of China to realize its strategic ambition of occupying all of China.

In order to deal with this situation, Tang Qiuli issued a first-level combat readiness order to all units of the 29th Army and the ** Division. The logistics department distributed ammunition and supplies to each unit according to temporary standards, and all officers and soldiers canceled their vacations.

, those who have been on leave shall return to the team immediately.

**The 1st Brigade Li Honggang's Department, **The 2nd Brigade Su Jingfeng's Department, **The 3rd Brigade's Korean Railway Department, **The 4th Brigade Yuan Jinghao's Department, 1st Artillery Brigade Zheng Yong's Department, 2nd Artillery Brigade Shen Jingshan's Department, 1st Cavalry Brigade

Liu Chun's troops and Tong Batu's troops of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade left the Taihang Mountain base area and went to Huai'an, Yuxian and Laiyuan lines in the west direction of Peiping respectively. They were on standby to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in the direction of Peiping.

**The 5th Brigade Sun Zhenbang's Department, the **6th Brigade Zhang Hansheng's Department, the 3rd Artillery Brigade Yang Hu's Department, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade Zeng Shiqiang's Department were unified under the command of **Division Chief of Staff Feng Jiwu and moved forward to Cangzhou in the south of Tianjin.

, the Renqiu front line was on standby to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in the direction of Tianjin.

**The 7th Brigade Wang Bingde's Department, the **8th Brigade Tian Shuangxi's Department, the 4th Artillery Brigade Jiang Yaoshan's Department, the 4th Cavalry Brigade Wu Kefan's Department, and the 5th Cavalry Brigade Li Changjiang were unified under the command of Liu Tiehan, deputy commander of the ** Division, from the Ping-Tianjin Corridor area

Pass through and proceed to Chengde, Zunhua, and Tangshan lines, and stay on standby.

Liu Tiehan's troops had two tasks, one was to monitor the movements of the Japanese troops in the direction of Pingjin, and the other was to monitor the movements of the Japanese Kwantung Army from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan.

The Wang Dazhu Division of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the 29th Army, as a mobile force, followed the command of division commander Tang Qiuli and went to the Langfang area to stand by, ready to support in all directions at any time.

All officers and soldiers of the 29th Army will immediately cancel their vacations, prohibit going out, and inspect weapons and equipment. All garrison troops will immediately enter a state of first-level combat readiness.

All ministries are not allowed to conflict with the Japanese army, and the main purpose is to form strategic deterrence.

After the deployment of troops was completed, Tang Qiuli issued a recruitment order to the Huangyadong Base Area and the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Security Command. By the end of 1936, the Huangyadong Base Area had completed the recruitment of 20,000 new soldiers for the entire North China region.

mission, and formed combat effectiveness in February and March of 1937.

The Dingbian Garrison Command will recruit 50,000 new soldiers within the Dingbian Special Economic Zone and train them on the spot. They will form combat effectiveness by March 1937. The logistics department of the ** Division will mobilize them from Huangyadong.

Weapons and equipment, arm the recruits recruited from Dingbian.

The Huangyadong Garrison Brigade was expanded into a reinforced brigade, with six regiments under its jurisdiction and a strength of 20,000. It serves as the mobile force of the ** division and takes over the defense of each defense area in the Taihang Mountain base after the field troops go to the front line.

Tang Qiuli must reach a certain balance in terms of military strength with the Japanese army in North China. Moreover, he is also planning a reserve military service system, which will be mainly implemented in the Dingbian Special Economic Zone. Dingbian has a population of nearly one million and contains rich manpower.

Resources can provide a large number of reserve soldiers for various units of the ** division.

This is also to prepare in advance and nip it in the bud. Who knows when those Japanese lunatics will take action. Although the historical record is July 7, 1937, there is no guarantee that the Japanese commander used the shofar to trigger the war.

If the cable is ignited, the war between China and Japan may break out early, and the troops cannot be passively beaten.

After a while of dispatching troops, the troops of the *** Division have formed a joint attack on the Japanese troops in the Pingjin area. What is a little troublesome is the troops that have gone to Tangshan and Zunhua in eastern Hebei. That is the Japanese army in eastern Hebei.

The territory cultivated by Yin Ru of the autonomous government.

Boss Yin Rugeng was unwilling and repeatedly emphasized that this was the Hebei East African Armed Area. He sent three protest telegrams to the Hebei-Cha Government Affairs Committee with very strong wording, and said that he had informed the Commander of the North China Garrison Army of the Empire of Japan about the matter.

, all consequences arising therefrom will be borne by China.

Tang Qiuli was furious when he saw this big traitor's protest message. This guy, as if he was not Chinese, pretended to be the head of state, and even threatened the Japanese. The Japanese

Is he your biological father?

Tang Qiuli personally drafted a reply to this big traitor. The reply message was equally rude, "Our North China Army Division troops entered the Jidong area to hunt down the bandits who slipped through the Xiaowutai Mountains. Your Excellency has such fierce objections.

Could it be that he is involved with the bandits, or that the bandits are your troops in disguise."

"Intended to disturb the social order in our Pingjin area? If so, please recall the fate of the Jidong Security Corps when our North China Infantry Division first entered the customs. Just imagine, today's North China Infantry Division, regardless of its strength and strength

, are far better than when I first entered the customs.”

"If your Excellency is rude and obstructs our troops from suppressing bandits, Tang will not mind the recurrence of the Battle of Jidong. Even if the Japanese army is dispatched to help you, Tang will definitely kill you. If you don't believe it, you are willing to talk to Tang

Will the military chariots meet in the Jidong plain? Let’s see who stains the land of Jidong with blood. Don’t bother me with such nonsense from now on!”

This was absolutely rude. Tang Qiuli had long been indifferent to this big traitor. If it hadn't been for the Nanjing National Government, it would have been Yin Rugeng's turn to speak in the east of Hebei Province, and he would have taken the opportunity to stop the Kwantung Army from moving southward.

The convenient passage cut off the connection between the Kwantung Army and the Japanese Army in North China.

Tang Qiuli also knew that the excuse for going to Jidong to suppress bandits was too weak. It was simply an excuse. It was exactly the same as the reason why Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces and garrisoned troops in North China. There was no need to be polite to this big traitor, and he had to be patient with him.

Replying to the telegram would be a great honor to him.

Otherwise, his traitor's head would have been taken off long ago and hung on the city gate of Peiping to show to the public. There is no other way. Let's talk with strength. Fist is the last word.
