Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 66 Prelude to the Eastern Expedition

Foreign enemies invade, mountains and rivers are shattered, and years of war rage, the happy time is always so short, life is rarely about gatherings, but there are many separations.

Qiuquan's special operations reconnaissance team and Qiu Sheng's intelligence network continuously transmitted surrounding information back to the base. After Qiu Sheng and Zhu Jing sorted it out, they sent it to Tang Qiuli regularly for him to judge the situation.

As early as when the troops returned to the base to reorganize after the Yingzui Ridge battle, Tang Qiuli sent out all Qiuquan's troops, with Songjiang City and Sancha River as the center, radiating hundreds of kilometers around, and extensively collected various intelligence.

Establishing intelligence stations in important towns and transportation hubs, whether by arranging their own soldiers or relatives, or buying them with money, in short, it is necessary to establish an intelligence network covering the entire Northeast, and Qiu Sheng and Qiu Quan are responsible for this.

As for the required funds, just ask Zhang Quanling. As the saying goes, the more money you have, the easier it is to get things done! After a period of preparation, intelligence outlets in various places have been improved one after another. Some important intelligence center stations are also equipped with radio stations and base intelligence protection

The communication center of the ministry is maintained 24 hours a day. It can be said that for important events that occur in the Northeast, the telegram manuscript can be placed in Tang Qiuli's hands within eight hours.

During these days, Tang Qiuli was living quite comfortably. According to the principle of hierarchical responsibility, he no longer had to intervene in detailed matters, which allowed him to have a lot of time to consider the next operational focus and development direction of the army.

The relationship with Xiaoling became deeper and deeper, and there was often a "tacit understanding". Xiaoling is a good study and a motivated girl. She handles things in the hospital in an orderly manner and has a lot of simple medical knowledge.

Tang Qiuli also took the time to teach her English and Japanese. It must be said that this girl was born with a talent for languages. Now she can have daily conversations with Tang Qiuli in simple English or Japanese.

Sometimes, Tang Qiuli said some love words between lovers to Xiaoling in English in front of everyone, such as, you are very sexy, melting in your tenderness last night, etc. Others were dumbfounded and didn't understand at all.

Yes, they all murmured to themselves, could it be that the commander was a god who came down to earth to sing the bird songs there? I haven’t heard where he learned it? Lian Qiusheng

, Shanhu and the others were all puzzled, could Xiaoling understand? Of course Xiaoling could understand, she was so happy that she was shy and happy, her face was crimson, and sometimes she would reply with a few words, making everyone look more and more mysterious at the young lovers.

Although I didn't understand what they were talking about, seeing Xiaoling's expression, I guessed that these words were a bit ambiguous and not suitable for children!

He doesn't have to worry about the training of the troops. The relationship between the Red Army cadres headed by Li Honggang and the former Northeast Army cadres headed by Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu is quite harmonious. There is no distinction between you and me at all. They lead the troops.

The whole thing is monolithic. Later, Tang Qiuli

If you think about it carefully, this is reasonable. First of all, both sides have the same goal, which is to destroy the Japanese and regain the lost territory. Secondly, the Northeast Army and the Red Army did not meet each other on the battlefield, and there was no blood feud between the two sides. This made Tang Qiu

Li Da felt relieved and let go of his worries.

The sumptuous food kept the soldiers in good health, and their faces glowed with good nutrition. Also, when they were at home, they would not be able to drive away even with a whip after eating such good food. It was scientific, systematic and effective.

The training has made the soldiers' military skills make a qualitative leap, their morale is strong, and the team is roaring!

The entire Blood Hand Regiment is like a sword that has been tempered and tempered twice. Its sharp edge is revealed, and it can beheaded by a single strike!

Through the intelligence sent back, Tang Qiuli had a clear understanding of the situation around the base. The Japanese Songtian Regiment, after suffering a devastating blow at Yingzui Ridge last time, retreated to Songjiang City and was busy replenishing soldiers and equipment.

The old Japanese Colonel Matsuda has been dismissed from his post, and it is said that he was escorted back to the country to face a military court. This was also thanks to Tang Qiuli.

After the Battle of Yingzui Ridge, the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters realized that Southern Manchuria was not a peaceful land, and the strength of the imperial army needed to increase. After the Japanese troops were replenished, the original regiment was expanded into a brigade, with a strength of more than 7,000 people.

, and added tanks and field artillery

The number of soldiers in the brigade is large. The new brigade commander is called Springfield. He is a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. He has been in the Northeast for many years and has the rank of major general. When he took office, he spread his intelligence widely and searched everywhere for the whereabouts of the Blood Hands. He said he wanted to give

The shattered imperial soldiers take revenge.

Regarding these situations, Tang Qiuli smiled slightly. The Japs are now like red-eyed mad cows. There is no need to stand up to him, so just let the Japs blindly walk through the maze and fumble around. I am recharging my energy here. If I have the opportunity,

Bite you hard.

In Sanchahe, after Tang Qiuli's last robbery, Japanese businessmen went bankrupt one after another. Chinese businessmen were afraid of Japanese revenge, so they also transferred their property. The Japanese businessmen couldn't get anything, so they put all the blame on the unlucky Matsuda. Now

In the Sancha River, the market was in depression and all industries were withered. In order to maintain this important transportation and material transfer station, the Japanese had to adopt a soft policy towards the Chinese. Japanese banks

They have issued interest-free loans, reduced taxes, supported Japanese and Chinese industries and commerce, and worked hard to restore the economy, so that the Chinese have taken a lot of advantage. Despite this, it is conservatively estimated that if Sancha River wants to return to its original level, it will at least have to be

In five years, this was an unexpected result that Tang Qiuli could not have expected. He laughed secretly, waiting for you to take care of him for five years. After more than a year, Mr. Tang will come again to take the medicine according to the prescription and make a lot of money.

The Japanese increased their military strength in Sanchahe. In addition to restoring the original military police brigade, they also added a reinforced brigade of Japanese soldiers and forcibly implemented a population registration system in the town.

Based on this information, Tang Qiuli believed that at present, it was not appropriate for the troops to launch large-scale military operations, and it was better to wait in hiding.

However, there was a piece of intelligence from Tonghua that caught his attention. Shao Benliang, the "Commander-in-Chief of the Suppression of the Communists" on the East Side of South Manchuria, with the cooperation of the Japanese "Mountain Crusade Team" and aircraft, massively besieged Yang Jingyu, the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

It is said that the Yang tribe has achieved a major victory. The Yang tribe was defeated and fled into the deep mountains and old forests. The imperial army has restored public order in the Changbai Mountain area on the east side of South Manchuria.

The intelligence also gave a detailed introduction to the enemy situation and form in the Changbai Mountain area, as well as the strength, weapons and equipment of Shao Benliang's troops.

After reading this information, Tang Qiuli first scoffed at the so-called major victory of the Japanese. How could the Anti-Japanese Alliance be wiped out so easily? Despite the difficulties and dangerous environment, the Anti-Japanese League always insisted on fighting among the white mountains and black waters, constantly attacking the Japanese.

For General Yang Jingyu, Tang Qiuli was full of respect in his heart. When he saw information about this legendary general in his previous life, his throat would be choked by a kind of heat. This was a Chinese man with strong bones and passionate blood! He served for

I deplore General Yang's sacrifice.

Now, General Yang's troops are in a difficult situation. Why don't you go on an expedition and stab the Japanese in the back? Firstly, to break the siege of the Anti-Japanese Alliance and eliminate the Japanese wherever they go. Secondly, you can see this

Whether the future destiny of a legendary general whom he has been friends with for a long time will be changed because of his arrival, when he thought of this, he felt an irrepressible impulse in his heart, wishing he could fly to that battlefield filled with gunfire and passion right away.

He calmed down his excitement and considered the problem in all aspects. Since the troops are currently on covert standby, why not take the initiative to go out and look for fighters. Depending on the training level of the troops, the physical fitness and equipment of the soldiers, and

With my own understanding of history, I can definitely win by surprise, catch the Japanese unawares, and ensure the safe return of the troops.

Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind and asked the correspondent to inform the commanders at all levels and immediately go to the war room for a meeting. There were important combat tasks.

He first came to the war room and stared at the map of Manchuria hanging on the wall. This map of Northeast China drawn by the Japanese was much more accurate than that drawn by the Republic of China government. It can be seen that the Japanese invaders had already invaded the heart of Northeast China.

, the dots and symbols on the map turned into vivid white mountains and black waters, vast forests, mountains and rivers in his mind. Combined with the history he had mastered, everything was clear to him, which strengthened his confidence.

After a moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came. Tang Qiuli shook his head and smiled. He could hear the footsteps. It was Shan Hu who was impatient, and there was another one behind him. It must be Battelle. These two guys have been directly under the command of the commander.

After the captain and deputy captain of the guard

, they were inseparable that day, as if they were born from the same mother. I don’t know how they have such a good temperament. They are both people with amazing strength, rough appearance, delicate heart, bold and unrestrained, affectionate and righteous, and quick reactions.

When you are a partner, you are on the right track.

Since the formation of the Guard, they have trained the soldiers of the Guard to great pains. They said that they are even more perverted than the commander, such as long and short gun shooting, the use of various artillery, cold weapon tricks, internal strength, martial arts training, etc., it is very

It took a lot of hard work.

Not to mention, the twenty soldiers of the guard have really trained them to become the elite of the entire army. They also pull the team out from time to time to engage in confrontation exercises with soldiers from various armies. After several rounds, only Qiu

Quan's special force was able to compete with the Direct Guards, which made the Direct Guards famous and popular!

Battle is already fifteen years old this year. Tang Qiuli has a kind of heartfelt love for this opposite-sex brother, and specially keeps him by his side, waiting for the opportunity to mature, and then put him in the combat unit.

After the two of them came in, Liu Tiehan came in right after him. He was impatient again. In fact, Liu Tiehan was holding back a lot of energy in his heart. The troops were already screaming, so why didn't the commander issue a combat mission? He

He also asked Tang Qiuli several times, and the commander always answered him by waiting for the real opportunity, which made him depressed after all. This was a man who couldn't sit still and didn't charge on the battlefield, which made his bones ache.

.

I had an important combat mission today, so I ran to the war room. As soon as I entered the door, I found that there was someone more anxious than him, Second General Heng Ha, who was directly under the guard, was already here.

Soon, all the personnel arrived. Tang Qiuli first analyzed the surrounding enemy situation. Judging from the current situation, our strength is still absolutely weak and we cannot compete head-on with the Japanese. The battle of Sancha River and Yingzui Ridge,

It was only by taking advantage of the unexpected attack and the arrogance of the Japanese that they won the victory. Now, since there is no possibility of annihilating a large number of enemies in this area, the best strategy is to wait in hiding and train the troops.

Hearing what the commander said, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. There was no battle, so why did you call everyone here in such a hurry? You also said that there was an important combat mission!

Tang Qiuli saw everyone's reaction and he was very satisfied. The army exists for fighting. This state of actively seeking war is the basic element to maintain the high fighting spirit of the army, especially the commanders at all levels.

.

We have no possibility of annihilating the enemy in this area. So, should we go out and look for fighter planes? He said, putting his hand on the location of Changbai Mountain on the map. We will go on a long expedition and attack the Changbai Mountain area. We will take the enemy by surprise and eliminate a large number of Japanese. There is only one fundamental purpose.

, that is, the goal of this operation is to relieve the siege of the First Route Army of the Anti-Resistance Alliance.

He continued: "Now, let's discuss the specific details of the operation based on the purpose of this operation. After the meeting, Chief of Staff Feng will formulate a detailed operation plan!"

As soon as Tang Qiuli finished speaking, the war room immediately lost its calm. First, Li Honggang's face flushed with excitement, he stood up suddenly, and asked in disbelief: "Commander, is this true?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized my gaffe and quickly said sorry.

Tang Qiuli nodded firmly at him.

As soon as he sat down, the Red Army cadres seemed extremely excited, and some even had tears in their eyes. Zhu Jing actually shed tears on the spot.

Tang Qiuli deeply understood their feelings. The Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army were both teams led by the Communist Party. In this organization, each army was treated differently from other warlords, who were divided into direct relatives, close relatives, and their own.

This decision has deeply moved them.

In fact, Li Honggang and Zhu Jing have been very uneasy these days. The information about the Blood Hand Regiment is not kept secret from these senior commanders. They have also known for a long time that the First Route Army of the Anti-Alliance Army was besieged by a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.

And many of them have worked in the Anti-Japanese Alliance, fought, have deep feelings for the army, and have thought about

Lead the troops, but the troops are in the hands of the commander. I have also thought about persuading the commander to send troops, but I have also considered whether the commander will become suspicious and affect his future work with this unit? After all, he is going to face superior forces.

The enemy, and it is a long-distance expedition. From here to the Changbai Mountain area, it may be nearly a thousand miles.

Just when they were at a loss and worried, the commander made this decision. How could they not be excited? They were going to rescue their comrades and comrades!

Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu had another feeling. They had never dealt with the Anti-Japanese League, but they admired the Anti-Japanese League for their resolute anti-Japanese behavior. After all, they were all Chinese people, defending their homes and the country.

That is the duty of a soldier,

However, the performance of Li Honggang and Zhu Jing touched their hearts. They knew that these commanders from the Red Army and the Anti-Japanese Alliance were from the same family and belonged to the Communist Party. When they heard that they were going to relieve the Anti-Japanese Alliance, they were so excited that they even shed tears.

Tears, which surprised them both. In the past army,

As soon as they heard that they were going to do this thankless and dangerous task, the commander of the unit did not push back and made excuses to save his strength. Now, the two of them were shocked by this scene, and they felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

, quietly blending into their already established hearts.

Soon, the battle plan for the Eastern Expedition was finalized. On the morning of seven days later, the three combat brigades with 2,400 people were fully loaded and officially set off. First, the first corps sent a squadron as the vanguard of the large army.

Set off one day to clear the way for the following troops.

Next, the troops began intense preparations. For a team of more than 2,000 people, ammunition and supplies were not a small amount. Especially since the commander emphasized the density of firepower, more ammunition had to be brought. This was a long-distance battle, and there was no need for it.

For supplies at the rear, if you fight a little, you will consume a little. If you can bring as much as you can, bring as much as you can.

Tang Qiuli took the time to visit the arsenal. Before that, he asked Wang Xu to find a way to reduce the overall weight of the Type 92 infantry gun to make it easier for troops to carry. After seeing this, he really asked the technicians of the arsenal to solve the problem.

, the cannon that originally required five or six people to carry separately, now only needs two or three people to carry it easily. Tang Qiuli seemed very happy, and kept shouting that he would credit all the personnel of the arsenal with great achievements and give bonuses, saying that he had solved the problem of the army.

Big problem.

In addition, several technicians in the factory worked together to specially design an extra-long bullet chain and bullet box for Shanhu with uninterrupted ammunition supply. It can continuously fire three thousand rounds of bullets without changing the magazine. If it were not for the long-term shooting,

, the gun barrel couldn't stand it, and wanted to install an air-cooling device on Shan Hu's portable heavy machine gun, which was designed to feed 5,000 rounds of ammunition, and made some minor changes.

Shanhu took it over and tested it. He jumped up and down with joy. He said it was easier to use and fit better than before. This guy got so excited that he gave a master a warm bear hug on the spot. Okay? This master almost came.

After losing his breath, his ribs were almost broken by this perverted guy! It is said that after the beating, he

When Shan Hu saw Shan Hu, he stayed far away, not daring to let Shan Hu get close. However, the two became good friends. Whenever Shan Hu got new gadgets from the battlefield, he would first send them to him, and then,

The two of them took it apart and put it back together, put it back up and took it apart again, and developed several new weapons by messing around with it.

Tang Qiuli saw the super-large ammunition backpack behind Shan Hu, which should have contained no less than ten thousand rounds of ammunition. There was also a ring of grenades hanging on his body, and he was holding a heavy machine gun in his hand. He looked like a Transformer! He was speechless at the time.

A moment of depression!

The intense busyness makes the days fly by. Tomorrow is the time for the troops to set off.

Tang Qiuli woke up early that day, without disturbing Xiaoling, who was still sleeping like a cute kitten. He quietly walked out of their love nest. The entire base was quiet. It was the darkest moment before dawn, and the gentle

The warm wind caresses the cheeks. The birds have not yet left their nests, and there are only the footsteps of the loyal sentries patrolling.

He stood quietly in the dark night, waiting for the rising star in the east.

There were footsteps behind him, and a soft body gently leaned against him. Xiaoling still woke up.

Xiaoling did not set off with the team this time. The hospital was under intense construction and she could not leave. Another experienced doctor led the team to form a medical team and set off with the team to face Tang Qiu who was about to leave.

Leaving, Xiaoling felt very disappointed.

She is a smart girl who knows that when her lover goes to the battlefield, she can only give him encouragement and comfort. Therefore, she is very understanding about not following Tang Qiuli on this expedition, which really makes Tang Qiuli

I feel relieved a lot.

Secretly, Xiaoling found Shan Hu and Battle and repeatedly told them to protect the commander on the battlefield. It wasn't until the two men patted their chests and assured her that she felt a little relieved.

Tang Qiuli gently hugged Xiaoling's soft waist, and Xiaoling rested her head on his shoulder. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance deeply penetrated Tang Qiuli's body and mind, and he couldn't help but hug Xiaoling closer.

tight.

In the eastern sky, a shining star slowly appears, the morning star rises, and a new day is coming
