Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 497: Taking advantage of Liu Tiehan

Liu Tiehan was mindful of the tense situation on the Texas front line. The entire defense line was already crumbling. Every minute of delay would put more pressure on the troops. He met with these division commanders and brigade commanders overnight and warmly welcomed them to join the Northeastern advance command of the ** Division.

The troops of the original Third Army were reorganized according to the order of the East Command troops.

Soon, the call for an emergency meeting sounded in Jinan Airport, and the already sleeping military camp began to boil. Hundreds of officers at all levels gathered from different directions. Liu Tiehan looked at the soldiers who turned out to be Han Fuju with piercing eyes.

At this moment, the officers under his command read out the reorganization order loudly.

The original 103rd Division of the Third Group Army was reorganized into the 9th East Point Advance Brigade, with Feng Kai as the brigade commander. The 82nd Division was reorganized into the 10th East Point Advance Brigade, with Chen Guozhu as the brigade commander. The 53rd Division was reorganized into the East Point Advance 3rd Brigade.

The 11th Brigade, Liu Jinlong was appointed as the brigade commander, the 45th Division was reorganized into the 12th East Point Brigade, Liao Zhenbang was appointed as the brigade commander, the ** Brigade was reorganized into the East Point Directly Affiliated Regiment, and Wang Yinshan was appointed as the Regiment Commander. "Other officers will be assigned to their original positions.

appointment.

After announcing the complete establishment order, Liu Tiehan said apologetically: "Every officer has been demoted one level in rank. This is the establishment sequence of the ** division, and it is also the regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the country. You have no choice but to feel aggrieved. However, at the moment, Dezhou

The war is intensifying. The uniforms, numbers, and weapons and equipment of the troops will be released immediately after the war is over.

That is to say, all members will change their uniforms, and the food and salary shortage for Han Fuju will be immediately replenished by the East Point Logistics Department. I can tell you in advance, and I hope to convey it to all soldiers. The treatment of the *** division is the best among all the troops in the government.

, From now on, everyone will be members of the Japanese Army, and I hope we can work together to drive the Japanese invaders out of the country."

As soon as Liu Tiehan finished speaking, hundreds of officers who participated in the reorganization expressed their feelings with stormy applause. From now on, we will also be a unit of the Central Military System, not to mention a unit of the famous North China Army Division.

, they all say that following the wolves to eat meat, following the dogs to eat shit, following the North China Army, without showing the prestige of our Shandong people, we have also shed the infamy of following Han Fuju and being a deserter. They are all soldiers, and they are no better than others.

Where are the troops?

A completely different momentum arose in the venue. Once a unit is injected with new vitality and spirit, it immediately feels like it has been transformed. Although it still wears its original military uniform, in its heart, it is already recognized as a member of the Army Corps.

Then, a new appointment was announced. Based on the East Point Direct Regiment, including the East Point Strengthening Battalion guarding the airport, the Jinan City Security Command was established, with Wang Yinshan as the commander, and Su Qi, the battalion commander of the East Point Strengthening Battalion, as the deputy commander. Mainly

The mission is to immediately restore order in Jinan City and calm the mood of the citizens.

At the same time, military control is implemented in Jinan City, and those rogue soldiers and lawbreakers who take advantage of the chaos to rob citizens, seize public property, rape women, murder and set fires will be severely suppressed. If any of the above situations are found, they will be killed without mercy.

, the armed patrol team of the Security Command can shoot immediately without asking for instructions.

When Liu Tiehan announced this order, his eyes shone with cold light, and his battle-hardened iron-blooded aura instantly rose up, and his murderous aura overflowed, making the former officers of the Third Army shrink their necks. How dare we, our commander-in-chief

, was not someone to be trifled with, and the contact time was very short. This moment left a deep impression on them, and also gave them a new understanding of the senior commander of the ** division.

After the meeting, all the brigade commanders and regimental commanders were left behind, and a military meeting was held to discuss the specific operational arrangements for the newly formed troops to go to the Dezhou front line. Wang Yinshan, the commander of the directly affiliated regiment, provided an important information. His original troops were in Jinan.

The Yellow River defense line was stationed next to the artillery brigade of the Third Army. When retreating, he saw the artillerymen, driving and riding, leaving hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns unattended.

I remember that I scolded these guys fiercely at that time, which made me feel distressed. Now, everyone is scrambling to escape, no one cares about anything else. Those cannons must still be in place, and Liu Tiehan immediately became energetic.

First, he had been troubled by the insufficient artillery firepower of the East Point troops. This time, Han Fuju sent another artillery brigade. Good things happened one after another, especially today.

He immediately ordered the regiment directly under Wang Yinshan to rush to the artillery position overnight and make sure to protect the artillery. Soldiers with experience in operating artillery could be transferred from each brigade to form the East Point Artillery Brigade. Wang Yinshan was a neat soldier and immediately went to execute the order.

After all deployment arrangements were completed, each brigade prepared for departure tomorrow. When Han Fuju's direct troops fled, they abandoned many weapons. Moreover, there was a large arsenal in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, which was controlled by Feng Kai's troops.

Now, it would be even better to have a battalion of troops guarding it. The icing on the cake is that all the troops will change their equipment in sequence according to their organizational sequence.

Coming out of the conference room, it was already around midnight. Liu Tiehan was dominated by excitement and had no sleep at all. He went to the aviation station again. When he got there, he was stunned. All the pilots had not rested.

, there was a lot of discussion there, and when they saw Liu Tiehan arriving, these pilots gathered around.

It turned out that they were discussing where to go in the future and followed Han Fuju to escape, which they would definitely not do. The infantry reorganization was going on in full swing, but no one here paid attention to it. I don’t know what General Liu was thinking? Maybe he was not in the eyes of others and disliked it.

Our background, if that's the case, we should quickly find our own way out.

Liu Tiehan apologized repeatedly, patronizing the busy infantry and neglecting these winged people. In the eyes of the division commander, these were just precious little things that could not be let go. He placed the division in Shaanxi and had an aviation company.

I talked about the school's affairs once more, and on behalf of the ** Division Dingbian Aviation School, I welcome all the proud people to join us.

With a place to go, and General Liu's attitude was very sincere, these pilots became active. They made a suggestion. Before flying to Dingbian, could they contribute to the Texas front line? All the planes were fully loaded with ammunition for the little devils.

The position was bombarded indiscriminately, and the Japanese soldiers suffered greatly when they were kept in custody.

There is no Japanese air force in the skies of North China. Liu Tiehan knows that there is no danger in this battle. He also hopes to weaken the Japanese offensive through air strikes. However, this matter has to be proposed by Han Fuju's pilots.

Their proposal was in line with their own wishes, so they readily approved the pilots' request for combat. These pilots cheered and prepared to drop bombs on the Japanese troops' heads.

The Third Army Air Force has thirty-seven aircraft of various types, and the models are quite mixed. They are all from different countries, and the models are not uniform. Among them, there are twenty fighters, ten bombers, and seven transport aircraft. It seems that,

Han Fuju was also a stick in the east, and he bought it when he saw something suitable, without considering the reasonable combination of aircraft models. This was fine, but it was a great gift for the ** pilot to set up a border aviation school.

Facing the thin light of dawn, Liu Tiehan immediately returned to the Texas front line. Behind him were four brigades of nearly 60,000 troops, who were gathering. His mood when he returned was very different from when he came. Behind him, 60,000 troops were about to start.

When he came over, he was full of confidence in whether he could hold the Texas defense line.

When passing the Yellow River ferry, he was still thinking about the hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns, so he deliberately took a detour. Wang Yinshan came all the way to greet his commander. Liu Tiehan saw a line of silent artillery pieces along the bank of the Yellow River.

They were squatting there like a group of wronged children. There were discarded shell boxes and various instruments everywhere. It could be seen that Han Fuju's artillerymen were in a panic and embarrassment when they fled.

Liu Tiehan secretly lamented that it was a pity for these artillery. Han Fuju had scraped so much money in Shandong to buy these properties. With Han Fuju's strength, he could fight alone against the Japanese army that invaded Dezhou. It was a pity that he had no such weapons.

, without firing a shot, without firing a single shot, without even seeing a shadow of a Japanese, he greased the soles of his feet and ran away. I really don’t know how he will face the Shandong elders and the Chinese people in the future.

I have to thank him. If he didn't run away, how could these big guys fall into his hands? It happened that the front line was in urgent need. He ordered Wang Yinshan, in the name of the Jinan Security Command of Shandong Province, to requisition a large number of trucks in Jinan and the surrounding cities of Jinan.

To pull these heavy artillery, he saw that these big guys had to be trucks, and mules and horses were powerless.

When Liu Tiehan rushed back to the Texas front line, an attack launched by the Japanese army had just been repulsed. However, the Dashan defense line, due to the defense of the Wan Fulin headquarters of the 7th brigade advancing there, consumed too much force, and the first line of defense was breached by the Japanese army.

, Now, all the first-line troops of the 7th Brigade retreated to the second line of defense to engage in fierce battles with the Japanese army.

Brigadier Wan just called and asked the chief of staff to tell the commander-in-chief to ensure that the second line of defense will not be lost. Unless the little devil steps on his body, the seventh brigade will fight to the last man. After dark, he will organize

Death squads, take back the first line of defense.

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's report, Liu Tiehan thought for a long time. This was the first forward position lost by the East Point troops after several days of fierce fighting. It can be judged that the Japanese army will definitely concentrate its forces and rely on this breakthrough to attack the 7th Brigade.

As the second line of defense, the 7th Brigade was in a very dangerous situation and the troops were fighting very hard.

Moreover, Wan Fulin was already prepared to die in battle. What he asked Zhao Yuhe to tell him was a determination, a determination to die, and it was not his last words. Zhao Yuhe also told him that the correspondent who conveyed the order came back and said

, Brigadier Wan has always commanded on the front line and personally led the troops in many counterattacks. He has already suffered three gunshot wounds.

Before the arrival of the following four new brigades, the direction of the mountains of the 7th Brigade was the most dangerous point on the Texas defense line. If this danger was not eliminated, several days of bloody battles would be meaningless. However, what method should be used?

The use of troops has reached its limit. No troops can be drawn out in that direction. Liu Tiehan meditated in front of the map, and a bold idea came to his mind. However, this method is more risky.
