Age of Conquest Reborn

Sanyuanpu is an important stronghold on the Si (Ping) Ji (An) railway line that the Japanese are building. It is only more than 50 kilometers away from Tonghua City, the capital of the pseudo-Tonghua Province. The stronghold is surrounded by peaks and the terrain is difficult. There is only one way in and out.

The road is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has always been a place for garrisoning troops.

The Japanese trusted Shao Benliang very much and entrusted him with the defense of such a strategic location. Shao Benliang used this place as his base camp, hoarding a large amount of military supplies, weapons and ammunition. He was usually heavily guarded, and the defense was as tight as a dog's bones. During the Anti-Japanese War in South Manchuria,

When the storm surged, various anti-Japanese armed forces failed to attack many times and suffered some losses.

Shao Benliang boasted about this. It was easy to conquer Tonghua City, but it is difficult to reach the gate of Sanyuanpu! Sanyuanpu is made of iron, and the old camp is made of steel.

No wonder General Yang was shocked. It is indeed difficult to raise troops here.

Tang Qiuli learned from the intelligence that Shao Benliang was so angry that he vomited blood several times and was bedridden for a long time because his starting troops, the Lao No. 1 regiment and the Lao No. 5 regiment, were annihilated.

He was kicked to the ground.

It can be seen that the destruction of the Old 1st Regiment and the 7th Old Regiment and the annihilation of the entire army was a huge blow to this old traitor, and it was enough to drive him crazy.

After recovering from his illness, he asked for help from the commander of the Kwantung Army's South Manchuria Military Area, Laoji Sanmao, who must eliminate the anti-alliance forces and avenge his old 1st and 7th regiments.

To this end, the Japanese Tenth Division stationed in the Shanhaiguan area was transferred to the South Manchuria area as Shao Benliang's military backup. The Fengtian Field Artillery Battalion was transferred to Shao Benliang's command. It also coordinated with the Kwantung Army Aviation Command and sent two aircraft to serve as Shao Benliang's military backup.

Aerial reconnaissance and fire strikes.

At the same time, all Shao Benliang's troops were armed with Japanese-style equipment. The squads were equipped with light machine guns, the platoons were equipped with heavy machine guns, and there were mortar companies at the battalion level and above.

With the support of his master, the escort of planes in the sky, and a Japanese division on the ground as backup, and with the weapons equipped by the Japanese, the old die-hard traitor Shao Benliang became more courageous, and went into battle in person, leading the Third Regiment and the Seventh Regiment in total, a total of six

More than a thousand troops rushed towards the Greater Khingan Mountains and Lesser Khingan Mountains with ferocious momentum and murderous intent, looking for the main force of the Anti-Japanese Alliance for a decisive battle.

Along the way, there were burnings, killings, rapes and looting. Wherever they went, flames shot into the sky, people were devastated, and there were cries all over the road. New graves were added in the villages, and there were people wearing mourning hats every time. He committed heinous crimes. The common people secretly called Shao Benliang "the man who mourns the conscience".

”, hating him to the core.

On his side, he was thinking about revenge, but his hometown of Sanyuanpu was empty. There was only one company and one police team left to defend, plus a team of Japanese instructors. The troops were empty and easy to capture. The reason why Shao Benliang was so

He was bold, he had something to rely on, Sanyuanpo was located on a major transportation road, and reinforcements were convenient and quick. If something happened, reinforcements could be quickly returned.

After Tang Qiuli analyzed all the situations to General Yang, the general was not in a hurry to express his position and fell into deep thought.

After a while, the general raised his head and looked at Tang Qiuli with bright eyes, "Commander Tang, Sanyuanpu can be beaten, but there are several problems. First, what to do about the Japanese reinforcements in Tonghua City? Second, Shao Benliang's main force, Lao

What should we do if the Third Regiment and the Old Seventh Regiment return to reinforce us? Third, what should we do if the Japanese reinforcements from nearby strongholds are deployed? Fourth, can the Japanese Tenth Division reinforce Sanyuanpu?

After listening to the general's analysis, Tang Qiuli secretly admired that he was worthy of being a leader of the Kwantung Anti-Japanese Armed Forces. He had such an elegant demeanor and got to the point in just a few sentences. This was also an unsolved problem for him.

Tang Qiuli told the general that this was exactly what he wanted to discuss with the general.

The purpose of this operation was twofold. One was to eliminate Shao Benliang's Lao Third Regiment and Lao Seventh Regiment, cut off the enemy's eyes and ears, and avoid future troubles. The second was to capture Sanyuanpu, seize Shao Benliang's supplies and equipment, and enrich himself.

Regarding the four questions raised by the general, Tang Qiuli formulated the following combat plan:

First, use the entire Second Anti-Japanese Division to launch a feint attack on Tonghua City, so that the Japanese troops stationed in Tonghua City do not dare to come to the rescue. Of course, the fake attack must be real!

Second, use the entire 1st Anti-Japanese Division to besiege Samwonpo, force the defenders to ask for reinforcements, and capture Samwonpo after destroying the enemy reinforcements.

Third, the Bloody Hand Regiment chose strong terrain on the enemy's return route and was responsible for annihilating Shao Benliang's returning reinforcements, the Lao Third Regiment and the Lao Seventh Regiment.

Fourth, the cavalry brigade of the Blood Hand Regiment is responsible for monitoring the enemy defending nearby strongholds. If the enemy is found to have left the strong fortress, the fortifications will come to reinforce them, meet the enemy in the wild, and annihilate them on the spot. There are not many enemy defenders scattered in the surrounding strongholds, and the cavalry brigade can completely handle it.

.

5. The Special Operations Brigade of the Blood Hand Regiment is responsible for monitoring the movements of the Japanese 10th Division. The Japanese 10th Division is currently stationed near Fengtian. It is a long way away. Even with a small number of mobile troops to support, the Special Operations Brigade can completely delay or annihilate the enemy.

enemy.

Tang Qiuli finished speaking about his battle plan in one breath. Feeling a little thirsty, he grabbed the water bottle on the table and drank.

After listening to Tang Qiuli's battle plan, the general's eyes were full of admiration. This young man is not simple. This battle plan is perfect. He has learned so much combat experience and theory. If it weren't for his lack of troops,

I'm afraid the entire Blood Hand Regiment can handle this battle.

In fact, Tang Qiuli really thought so. This was the first time that the two armies were fighting together. In terms of running-in, coordination, etc., it was not as good as commanding his own troops.

General Yang took a battle plan and left. Tang Qiuli knew that he was going back to a meeting to study. This is the consistent style of the Japanese army. Think about yourself, every battle plan is set by himself, and the rest is

The commander is just perfecting and supplementing the battle plan. It seems that this habit should be changed and the wisdom of the masses should be given full play!

While waiting for the reply, he thought over the battle plan in detail and held a military meeting. All captains and squadron leaders attended the meeting. At the meeting, he supplemented and improved his battle plan a lot.

.

Commander Yang didn't come to him for two days in a row. Tang Qiuli couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. If the enemy's situation changed and affected the intention of this operation, and was forced to abandon the operation plan, he would feel lifelong regret.

.

The season is approaching the end of March, and the weather is no longer as cold as it was in March. White clouds float lazily to the south, decorating the blue sky. The snow on the sunny slopes is a little light during the day.

It melted, and the originally white snowfield also revealed some mottled earthy colors. The spring of 1935 was coming.

At noon, he took the time to return to the army station. Breathing in the cool and moist air diluted his anxiety a lot. The army's training rotation at the anti-union secret camp had ended, and he only returned with Shan Hu and Bater.

There are more than 20 people from the direct guard staying here in the Anti-Japanese League so that they can exchange opinions and views with Commander Yang at any time.

During the time he spent with the general, he learned a lot from the general. The general's firm belief in the Communist Party and his deep concern for the country and the nation deeply touched the depths of his heart and the general's personality.

The charm deeply infected him.

As a person who has traveled through time, Tang Qiuli is familiar with history. The general died heroically in the end, which made him sad. Sometimes, he even had the impulse to kidnap the general to the base. Can he change that outcome? He really didn't know.

.

In the blink of an eye, the troops have been staying in this area for nearly twenty days. The soldiers train, study, study, and train every day. This is a kind of torture for the soldiers who are eager to fight. The troops are almost going crazy and noisy.

Looking for a fight.

Seeing that the commander was back, everyone gathered around and asked if there was another combat mission? He was very satisfied with the morale of the troops. After returning to the headquarters, he held a meeting, arranged and deployed the preparations for the battle.

, the troops must be prepared and ready to leave at any time.

When Tang Qiuli was about to return to the secret camp of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, Zhou Yushan followed him, his face was not very happy, and told him that the army's supplies were running low, and they could still sustain the normal consumption of the army for about ten days. He told him

Zhou Yushan, we are about to fight a big battle, but we are still worried about supplies and supplies? After listening to this, Zhou Yushan nodded repeatedly and followed the commander to fight. Every time he did not make enough money.

When he returned to the secret camp of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, it was getting late. The lights were on in the room. He opened the door and came in. General Yang was waiting for him in the room.

Seeing the general's demeanor, Tang Qiuli knew that this battle would definitely be fought.

Sure enough, the general told him that the Party Committee of the First Route Army had discussed and approved the battle plan, but it was delayed for two days because the Second Division troops in other areas had to be mobilized.

After determining the battle plan, both the Resistance Alliance and the Blood Hand Regiment began to work in an orderly manner around this battle plan.
