Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 74: The troops arrive at Tonghua

A few days later, the troops left the station, bid farewell to the reluctant villagers, and headed for the Mengjiang area.

Based on the surrounding enemy situation, Tang Qiuli felt that the Japanese had cast a large net and used their main force, plus Shao Benliang's troops, a total of more than 30,000 people, to gather around Changbai Mountain to suppress the enemy, forming a vague encirclement around him.

The enemy's net is now wide and there are many gaps. Once the enemy's deployment is completed, it will be difficult to escape.

The march was not short, and there were several Japanese blockades along the way, especially Shao Benliang's troops, which worried Tang Qiuli the most. These scum were local snakes. Before they became traitors, they were born in Huzi, and they had a deep understanding of the mountains and forests.

The familiarity is no worse than that of the Bloody Hands, and the Japanese are easy to get rid of. Once Shao Benliang's troops catch up, although they are just annoying flies, they are followed by the Japanese wolves.

If you have the chance, you must knock out Shao Benliang's troops. It is appropriate to move in at this time.

Due to combat attrition, the number of troops has been reduced. The total strength is about 2,200. Although the number is smaller, it is more capable. After several battles, the soldiers have been tempered and have experienced the test of war and the baptism of gunpowder smoke.

, the overall combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved, and its actions have become more flexible.

In particular, there is an additional cavalry brigade, which was formed using the equipment of the cavalry brigade that wiped out the Japanese. There are 450 people in total, all of whom are selected from various units and are proficient in riding skills. The brigade leader is from the second squadron of the original first brigade.

The squadron leader is Liu Chun. Liu Chun served as a cavalry instructor in the former Northeastern Army. He is proficient in riding skills and is extremely good at commanding cavalry in combat.

Although the time for the formation of the army was short, under Liu Chun's abnormal training, it quickly formed combat effectiveness. Coupled with the soldiers who could be selected as cavalry, that one was not a veteran on horseback.

A veteran force that has experienced battles for a long time, especially the cavalry brigade

The firepower is not just the carbine equipped by the little devil. Tang Qiuli is equipped with forty Czech light machine guns. He still has a lot of regrets about this. It would be great to have a submachine gun. With such a one in his hand

Possessing an extremely lethal mobile force, Tang Qiuli was so beautiful that she couldn't even close her mouth.

Surprisingly, Battelle's natural qualities as a rider astonished the cavalry soldiers. He flew onto his horse and performed a series of skillful movements. His tacit understanding with the horse beneath him was astonishing. You must know that the little devil's horse is tall.

The same goes for the long-bodied Oriental horses. As a descendant of the horseback people, we have inherited the characteristics of our ancestors in our blood, and we have a natural affinity with horses.

As for the recruit brigade, they sent capable cadres to lead them back to the base for training and brought back some excess supplies and equipment. Tang Qiuli was reluctant to let these untrained recruits go directly to the battlefield. The number of recruits was much higher than when they first arrived.

There were more than 200 people, reaching 560. It was thanks to Zhou Yushan, Li Honggang and other veterans of the Red Army that they mobilized young people from several nearby villages to enthusiastically join the army.

At this point, Liu Tiehan and Feng Jiwu were so convinced that they felt inferior. Even Tang Qiuli himself felt that they were far behind.

When a large army is marching, it is impossible to completely hide its whereabouts. In order to avoid being chased by the Japanese, it is necessary to disrupt the Japanese deployment in order to escape from the Japanese encirclement. Tang Qiuli does not want to be followed by a large number of Japanese behind him all day long, fighting while

Walk, tired of running for your life.

Tang Qiuli set his sights on Tonghua, which was the enemy's fatal weakness. He immediately held a meeting and deployed military operations to capture Tonghua. He still used the technique of eagle attack and left with one strike!

Tonghua City is the capital of Tonghua Province of Puppet Manchuria (it was established as a city in April 1942 to govern Tonghua Street, today's Tonghua City, Jilin, covering 1 city and 8 counties, and the area is equivalent to the southern part of present-day Jilin Province).

Strategic support point and economic and cultural center.

Intelligence showed that the main force of the Eighth Japanese Division stationed in Tonghua was all sent to the Changbai Mountain area. Only the Japanese military police brigade and some puppet Manchukuo troops remained in the city, leaving an extremely empty force.

To hit the snake seven inches, the Blood Hand Regiment's soldiers were pointing at Tonghua City. Tang Qiuli dared to make this move because of the Blood Hand Regiment's ubiquitous intelligence network. Without intelligence support, he would not dare to stab the Japanese.

I think, taking Tonghua is like poking out the enemy's eyes. The enemy will have to fight for his life! With more than two thousand troops, he is really no match!

The troops advanced covertly and soon reached the outskirts of Tonghua. After getting in touch with Qiuquan, the special operations brigade sneaked into the city first.

In the middle of the night, the special operations team eliminated the Japs in the watchtower of the city gate, opened the city gate, and troops poured into the city. At that time, gunshots were everywhere in the city. The Japs here had lived in peace for too long, and their defenses were quite lax.

It occurred to me that a Chinese ** team would dare to attack here.

Without much effort, the sporadic Japanese and the remaining puppet Manchukuo soldiers were eliminated. The remaining Japanese were compressed into the military police brigade headquarters. This place, near the corner of the suburbs, was the former residence of a large landowner, like a military fortress.

, the walls were thick and the ditches were deep, making it extremely difficult to capture. After the Japanese retreated here, they resisted stubbornly, and the machine guns fired like the wind.

Su Jingfeng's second brigade was responsible for annihilating these Japs. When Tang Qiuli arrived, Su Jingfeng stripped off his arms because the attack was blocked, held a machine gun, and wanted to lead the charge himself.

Tang Qiuli immediately stopped Su Jingfeng's adventurous move and gave him a severe beating. He didn't know how to use his brains in a battle. He wanted to save face and suffer. So many cannons were kept as decoration? Fortunately, no soldiers were sacrificed, only some were.

Several were slightly injured, otherwise the commander would have removed him from his post on the spot. He knew the temper and character of his generals very well.

In fact, Su Jingfeng was brave and strategic in fighting, but he was a bit obsessed with saving face. In the previous battles, other brigades showed their faces. Su Jingfeng was a little depressed. In his heart, he was still with those captains who were from the Red Army.

He was from the Northeast Army, so he didn't want to ask Zheng Yong for help and wanted to complete the mission alone, but the little devil didn't give him face.

Now the commander made his words clear and directly pointed out his living thoughts. He scratched his head in embarrassment. Don't we want to cause trouble to our brother troops? Tang Qiuli glared at him with a dumbfounded look, and Su Jingfeng shrank his neck.

, remained silent. Captain Su was in awe and admiration for this commander who was much younger than him.

Tang Qiuli ordered the correspondent to quickly notify Zheng Yong and led the artillery brigade to arrive here. After a while, the artillery arrived. There were about a hundred cannons, and the black muzzles were aimed at the Japanese brigade headquarters. Tang Qiuli told Zheng Yong,

But blast hard until it's leveled.

After finishing the arrangement, he hurried to other places. This was not the main thing. Su Jingfeng and Zheng Yong could handle it.

There was a roar like spring thunder from behind. There were hundreds of infantry cannons and mortars in a big pigsty. A single shell could destroy them, and not even the bones and dregs of the little devil were left behind.

He was still busy arranging the city to accept that! No, it was a tribulation!

Tang Qiuli told the captains that, just like in the Sancha River, the ground was wiped out for three feet, everything that could be carried was taken away, and the ones that could not be taken were blown up, and they would never be left for the little devils. From now on, whenever a city is captured,

In cities controlled by the Japs, the Sanchahe mode is the standard mode, and each unit does not need to ask for instructions.

The troops had been busy for a whole day, and Zhou Yushan was extremely busy. There were too many guns, ammunition, materials and equipment seized, as well as so many gold and silver coins. All the horses in the baggage team that could carry things were overloaded, and there were still a lot left.

, he slapped his forehead and came up with an idea. He told the soldiers that there was an unlimited supply of ammunition and materials, and they could bring as much as they could. The baggage brigade was about to withdraw to the base, and there would be no chance to replenish it in the future!

This trick was really effective. The soldier was not afraid of running out of bullets in his gun during the battle, and he was hungry while marching. He tried his best to load his body with it, and finally digested the remaining supplies and ammunition.

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhou Yushan and laughed secretly. This man really had a way. He said to Zhou Yushan: "Minister Zhou, you lied about the military situation. When did I order the supply team to withdraw to the base?"

Zhou Yushan grimaced and spread his hands, "Isn't there no way to do it? I'm used to living in poverty. When I saw these good things, I couldn't bear to do it! Commander, if you punish me, I'll accept it. I can't throw it away anyway."

Get these!" Tang Qiuli burst out laughing, and Zhou Yushan finally woke up and realized that the commander was joking with him!

Tang Qiuli admired Zhou Yushan's actions very much. As the head of the logistics department, he had to have the energy to control the domestic tiger. In this regard, Zhou Yushan and Zhang Quan were similar. In the future march,

The troops try to avoid fighting and bring as many soldiers as they can.

In addition, he had a deeper consideration. This time he met with the Anti-Alliance General Yang Jingyu. Out of respect for this legendary general, it was appropriate to give him a meeting gift. He also knew that the Anti-Alliance troops during this period

, there is a lack of medical treatment, food, and ammunition are extremely scarce. The materials and equipment I brought can meet the urgent needs and allow the anti-alliance fighters to eliminate more Japanese.

After the troops withdrew from Tonghua, Liu Chun's cavalry brigade was ordered to carry radios, keep in touch with the headquarters at all times, and march in the opposite direction of the troops' advance, creating the illusion that the troops were returning to the division's Changbai Mountain Forest Area, attracting the main force of the Japanese to pursue them in that direction.

, Guarantee Department

The cavalry team marched to the predetermined area. Two days later, they got rid of the Japs and rendezvoused with the large troops. He also specifically warned Liu Chun not to engage in firefights with the Japs. He was worried that Liu Chun was eager to fight. Once the Japs got entangled, it would be difficult for the cavalry brigade to escape.

Yes, after all, the Japanese have air power.

The cavalry brigade passed through Tonghua City with great fanfare and galloped along the road. Horse hooves rumbled and snow flew, trying not to attract attention.

The main force, with a rich harvest, quietly submerged into the vast forest and rolling mountains in a hidden area, eliminating all traces and disappearing like the wind.

After entering the forest, Tang Qiuli also composed a poem: Brother walked quietly, just as he came quietly. When he came, he was empty-handed, but when he left, he was rich and colorful!

The sky followed people's wishes, and snowflakes drifted up, covering up the traces of the troops' march and making it impossible for the Japanese to find any trace.

When the main force of the Japanese Eighth Division received the emergency telegram and marched day and night, anxious and anxious, they rushed back to Tonghua City as if they were rushing to a funeral. It was already the afternoon of the next day, and what they were left with was a city on the verge of bankruptcy and a city full of people.

The city is like a Japanese whose parents have died.

The large net carefully laid by the Japanese was torn to pieces by Tang Qiuli's unexpected attack.

On the way, Tang Qiuli received information that the Japanese campaign in the Changbai Mountain area had come to an end, and all units returned to their original garrison locations.

He didn't know it yet, because the Blood Hand Regiment unexpectedly captured Tonghua City, eliminating the danger of the entire three divisions of the Anti-Union First Army being annihilated.
