Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 746 Suspicion

The sun rises, thousands of rays of rays disperse the mist in the mountains, and another morning arrives in western Liaoning. Through the telescope, you can see that on the preset ambush position, there is no one on the right wing, but there is no one on the left wing.

The busy crowd made it difficult for the soldiers who retreated from Liugu River. After fighting for a day, another

After running for most of the night, without taking a breath, I continued to intensively build fortifications, make disguises, and looked at my watch. It was already past seven o'clock in the morning. I wanted to send a staff officer to inquire about the progress of the left wing troops, but gave up.

With this idea, he believed in the soldiers and this unit to complete the mission on time.

The artillery fire from the direction of Suizhong became more and more intense. Both sides of the road from Niuxin Mountain to Shanhaiguan, which stretched for more than 30 kilometers, were ambush areas. Such a long front may not be able to accommodate all the Kwantung Army's southbound troops. The Japanese army

Too many troops, morning

At more than nine o'clock, there was still no telegram from Feng Jiwu. The reconnaissance force sent out also reported that no Kwantung Army troops were found in the direction of Suizhong. They were heading towards Shanhaiguan. There were only sporadic gunshots in the Liugu River area. Tang

Qiu Li couldn't help but feel anxious secretly.

Could it be that Feng Jiwu's troops failed to get rid of the Kwantung Army troops smoothly and were entangled in the Liugu River area? It should be a fierce battle. Why were there only sporadic gunshots? For the troops of five brigades, within two or three hours,

Even though he was wiped out by the Kwantung Army, Tang Qiuli would never believe it anyway, but why there was no telegram from Feng Jiwu that he had successfully evacuated to Nuruerhu Mountain, Tang Qiuli felt a little panicked and confused.

After being stunned for a while, Tang Qiuli ordered the reconnaissance troops to pay close attention to the movements of the Kwantung Army. They could get close to reconnaissance and find out the Liugu River area and the reasons for the battle. If Feng Jiwu was really surrounded, he would command all the troops.

The troops pressed forward and fought to the death with the Kwantung Army. In a head-on confrontation, it was not certain who would die.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the left wing troops reported that all preparations had been completed and all troops had entered the ambush position. Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief. The ambush plan could be carried out on time and the net was set up. All that was left was to wait patiently.

At that time, the reconnaissance force also sent back intelligence. The gunfire in the Liugu River area had completely stopped, and there was no trace of the Kwantung Army troops. Tang Qiuli wondered, what are the Japanese doing? It has been all morning, and they have not yet gone to Shanhaiguan.

Advance.

Could it be that he was waiting for the follow-up troops to approach? Tang Qiuli suddenly stood up and sent an order to the Northeast Intelligence Center Station of the Intelligence Department. It was necessary to find out whether the Eastern Army troops would continue to gather in the western Liaoning area in the near future and whether the Kwantung Army was found in the direction of Jinzhou.

The traces of the troops should not be,

The existing strength of the Kwantung Army is strong enough, so reinforcements are needed? Is it possible that the Japanese will push all the Kwantung Army towards the Ping-Tianjin area in the Kwantung? This is not a good guess. If that is the case, there is no need to fight a decisive battle in North China. Hurry up.

It's more important to run away to save your life, let's run back to the Taihang Mountains first.

Brother Qiuquan's special operations detachment has been in the hinterland of Northeast China for many days. It's time to use it. He personally drafted a message and the order is as follows: "Special Operations Detachment Captain Tang Qiuquan and all members, the decisive battle in North China is at a critical juncture. In order to contain the Kwantung Army troops

Unable to gather in the western Liaoning area, your troops take immediate action.

Carry out large-scale destruction throughout the Northeast, attack isolated and scattered enemies and strongholds, attack the Kwantung Army's supply line from Jinzhou to Xingcheng, contact the anti-alliance forces, and actively take offensives in southern Manchuria, northern Manchuria, and eastern Manchuria to delay

The intention of the Kwantung Army to mobilize troops into the Pass was to ensure the smooth progress of the decisive battle in North China."

As long as Brother Qiuquan and others fight in various parts of the Northeast, the Kwantung Army headquarters will not be able to use all its forces against itself. Moreover, the Kwantung Army will concentrate its forces from various places to western Liaoning. The garrison force in the Northeast interior will inevitably be empty, and there will be no resistance.

With these ground tigers, coupled with the cross-river dragons of the special operations detachment, the Northeast is immediately on fire, with the potential to start a prairie fire everywhere.

If the Kwantung Army wants to extinguish the flames all over the place, it must disperse its concentrated forces. The time it takes to go back and forth is enough to finish the decisive battle in North China and deal with the more than 400,000 Japanese troops in Tianjin. Then they will be able to strengthen their troops.

Being placed on the front line of Shanhaiguan, we have the capital to challenge the Kwantung Army head-on. As for the Kwantung Army once again launching a brutal encirclement and suppression campaign against the Allied Forces, there is nothing we can do about it. It is just that the situation two years later has appeared in advance.

The Anti-Union troops can only seek their own blessings, or retreat to the Soviet Union. The special operations detachment will not fight side by side with them. The task of igniting the fire has been completed, and they have withdrawn their troops back to North China. If they want to monopolize the Northeast, the Anti-Union forces will

The existence of troops is always an obstacle and worry, and they cannot be placed

Tang Qiuli did not think that he was so despicable and insidious. He had to do it as a last resort due to the general trend. However, he still specifically told Qiuquan in the telegram that he must protect the life of General Yang Jingyu. If

Possibly, invite the general to enter the customs.

This is a telegram on the surface, and it is also the main mission of the special operations detachment to sneak into the Northeast. Commanders above the level of the special operations detachment can receive it. The following telegram is a top secret and was sent by Tang Qiuli himself.

In the entire special operations detachment, only Tang Qiuquan can translate

The telegram had only one sentence, "Spring has arrived, and the roses are blooming." This was a big deal, and it was like playing with fire. Only Tang Qiuli and Tang Qiuquan in the entire ** division knew its meaning, and the others

, including Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, and Feng Jiwu didn't know.

Tang Qiuli set up an ambush in Niuxin Mountain and wondered why the Kwantung Army troops did not advance quickly. Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo at the Xingcheng headquarters was also full of suspicion and could not guess at the front of the Liugu River.**

The division troops only resisted for a while. When the Kwantung Army attacked again, they found that the blocking position of the ** Division on the west bank of the Liugu River, which had fought for six full days and devoured tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, was empty.

All the soldiers of the Kwantung Army were stunned, and all the commanders of the Kwantung Army at all levels were stunned. In the past few days, they had learned painful lessons. Even if they were already standing on the opponent's position, they did not dare to rush forward to attack in depth.

The commander ordered the soldiers to reinforce the work on the spot

In order to prepare for the counter-attack of the Chinese army, he repeatedly issued strict orders to pay attention to the artillery attacks of the Chinese army. He was too cautious, or was afraid of being beaten, or both. The so-called "Flower of the Imperial Army" was arrogant.

The Kwantung Army troops were nothing more than that.

The situation was quickly reported to the commander, Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo. The Lieutenant General was stunned at first, then happy, and then surprised. He instinctively felt that there must be something wrong here. From the first attack this morning,*

The counterattack firepower of the * division troops was significantly weakened, and Otonzaburo Yano felt that something was not right.

Now we have received such a report that the army of more than 300,000 people, coordinated with our own sea and air firepower, fought for six days and six nights with red eyes. However, the *** division troops who refused to give up an inch of ground were just attacked by an ordinary attack.

He absolutely did not believe that they were repelled across the board. It was too easy, too easy. There must be a huge conspiracy in this.

Knowing that there must be a conspiracy, but what exactly this conspiracy is, this is a difficult problem. Lieutenant General Yano Otonzaburo almost pulled out his hair and could not figure out the source of the conspiracy. After hearing the news, the Kwantung Army divisions rushed to the headquarters

, the brigade leaders watched the commander circling back and forth in the room like a donkey pulling a horse, sometimes frowning and glaring, sometimes gnashing teeth, sometimes smiling, all staring at him extremely impatiently.

There is no reason to hesitate. The Chinese army was repulsed. After six days of bloody fighting, they could not withstand the casualties and the fierce firepower of the imperial army. They gave up their blocking positions and retreated. The Chinese army's Liuguhe defense line collapsed.

How panicked the army retreated. The small-scale annihilation battle that took place in the 17th Division clearly illustrates the problem. About a battalion of Chinese soldiers were surrounded in the Suizhong area and were put on the spot after more than an hour of fighting.

wipe out.

Finally, one of the most senior division commanders couldn't stand it anymore. This guy turned his head and said conspiratorially: "I remind you, hesitation and loss of fighter opportunities are a taboo for a commander. Don't forget

We have received the task assigned to us by the base camp and the general headquarters, which is to quickly move southward into the customs and approach Tianjin." The words were full of contempt, as if an elder was teaching a junior what you should do.

Lieutenant General Otonzaburo Yano glared angrily at this guy who was relying on his old age, and his face turned red. Don't I know the mission yet? Before I opened my eyes in the morning, I received a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp and the Kwantung Army Headquarters,

Urging the ** Division to quickly break through the Liuguhe defense line and move south, the situation in Tianjin was critical and reinforcements were urgently needed.

I also want to get to Tianjin as soon as possible. Doesn’t he think there is something wrong with me? Good things happen too suddenly. Abnormal is abnormal, but he can’t provide any evidence to convince these impatient generals that everything is wrong.

own guesses and reasoning.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, telegrams from the base camp and the Kwantung Army Headquarters, repeated urgings from subordinate generals, and the fact that the counterattack of the ** Division troops had not arrived overcame Yano Otonzaburo's inner doubts, and he finally issued the order.

, the entire army quickly crossed the Liugu River, advanced along the Jinzhou-Shanhaiguan highway, and advanced to the Shanhaiguan line. At the same time, the Kwantung Army Air Force was asked to send a large number of reconnaissance aircraft to detect all movements of the ** Division troops along the way.

Three hundred thousand Kwantung Army troops, a large number of artillery and baggage, turned the Liugu River into a mess. The Japanese forward troops finally appeared in the sight of the ** Division scouts. After waiting for most of the day, the wait was not in vain. "Commander

"Headquarters, headquarters, Viper is dispatched, the vanguard force is about a regiment, the artillery and baggage are crossing the river," the scout used code words to pass the news of the Kwantung Army's dispatch back to the headquarters.

After receiving the report, Tang Qiuli let out a long breath. God, the Kwantung Army is finally here. "Order, all troops, enter combat status." After giving the order briefly, he immediately rushed to the headquarters of the main peak of Niuxin Mountain, here.

, overlooking the entire battlefield.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon that day, at the end of the road in the east of Niuxin Mountain, dust rose into the sky. A large group of Japanese soldiers appeared in Tang Qiuli's telescope, getting closer and closer. Tang Qiuli had a sneer on his lips.

, why did the Japanese army’s march stop?
