Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 869: Sweeping Liaodong

Liu Tiehan's East Point troops captured Fengtian without any suspense. The commander of the Fengtian Kwantung Army garrison, Major General Ono Yuuo, desperately resisted. In addition to losing his own life and the lives of more than 5,000 men under his command, Fengtian was also defeated.

The situation of the battle in Tianjin has not changed. Counting the Kwantung Army troops annihilated around Fengtian and along the way, in this battle of Fengtian, Liu Tiehan's troops killed nearly 14,000 second-rate Kwantung Army garrison troops, which was an unexpected gain.

Liu Tiehan reported in detail the course and results of the Fengtian Battle to the division commander Tang Qiuli in Dingbian. Likewise, Tang Qiuli was not surprised at all and dispatched more than 100,000 troops, more than 2,000 cannons, tanks and

If the cooperation of the aircraft turns into a stalemate, it will no longer be Liu Tiehan's army.

Tang Qiuli was somewhat surprised that Ueda Kenkichi did not send troops from the Far East battlefield to return to Fengtian. He and Liu Tiehan agreed that he still did not hurt the Japanese. He called Liu Tiehan back: "Brother Tiehan, this is very good.

, can capture the camp entrance to

Dashiqiao serves as the boundary, cutting off the connection between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Northeast. At the right time, the Japanese Navy's base in Lushun can be destroyed. In order to achieve the purpose of the campaign, it is appropriate to mobilize six to eight more brigades of troops to participate in the attack on the Liaodong Peninsula.

."

After receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, Liu Tiehan thought for a long time and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order the second-line troops to dispatch eight brigades from Panshan to the Liaodong Peninsula, and take the lead in attacking Fengtian.

The troops immediately went south to fight. By the way, what news is there from the Far East?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Deputy Commander, the Soviet Timoshenko troops in the Far East are currently in a difficult situation. If Ueda Kenkichi grits his teeth and does not mobilize troops from the Far East, I am afraid that in three to five days, the Soviet army will be completely destroyed.

If it is destroyed, should we rush to the front line immediately and command the Liaodong Peninsula campaign? In addition, should we notify the transportation troops to receive supplies from Fengtian?"

Liu Tiehan nodded and said: "Yes, it's time for us to move forward and penetrate the Liaodong Peninsula. I believe that with the combat effectiveness and firepower of our troops, it will never take more than three days. If we can capture Xiao

The Japanese have a few warships, that’s enough. As for receiving supplies from Fengtian, just inform Zhou Yushan. This guy is more active than anyone else. Zhang Quan’s soldiers have similar temperaments and know how to live.” After saying that, the two of them shouted together.

Laugh.

After Tang Qiuli replied the telegram to Liu Tiehan, he analyzed the battle situation carefully. Ueda Kenkichi was determined to kill Temoshenko and would not even look back after losing Fengtian. He was betting that the whole family would win, and nothing could be done so cheaply.

Son, the Japanese still owe them a large amount of equipment and 5,000 kilograms of gold. If he doesn't turn back, let Hirohito force him to turn back. Ueda Kenkichi can't help but make the decision himself.

If Ueda Kenkichi had an idea and went there to let the Japanese bleed and attack the Liaodong Peninsula, Ueda Kenkichi still held firm and took the opportunity to capture the entire Liaodong Peninsula and then use heavy troops to consolidate the defense line. In this way, the Bohai Bay would become

If you control your own inner sea, you will not suffer any loss inside or outside. But in this way, your own plan will be disrupted.

It is estimated that the Japanese will not be so stupid and let the Liaodong Peninsula fall into their hands in vain. It is a strategic military location. With the important military port of Lushun, the Japanese will definitely fight for it again and again. Therefore, Ueda Kenkichi still has to mobilize his troops back.

However, time is a critical issue. If Timoshenko is killed by the Kwantung Army, he really cannot spit out Fengtian and the Liaodong Peninsula.

After thinking about it, Tang Qiuli said to the communications staff: "Immediately send a telegram to the Soviet Ambassador to China Ovitsky to inform the Soviets that we have launched an offensive in western Liaoning to seize Fengtian. Currently, the troops are attacking the Liaodong Peninsula area."

Since I have received benefits from the Soviets, I have to let them know that I am still very trustworthy when I take action. As for whether Ueda Kenkichi turns back and Timoshenko can break through, it is not within my ability.

.

Then, he sent a telegram to Feng Jiwu, who was resting in Peiping, ordering Feng Jiwu's regiment to be ready to enter the Northeast at any time. At the same time, he ordered the regiment directly under him to immediately move to Shanhaiguan and stand by on the front line. In his heart, Tang Qiuli never wanted to fight with him.

The decisive battle of the Kwantung Army has arrived ahead of schedule. The ideal situation is for the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army to confront each other in the Far East.

The Soviet Union, Moscow, the Kremlin, Stalin's office, it was broad daylight, the thick curtains had not been opened, only a desk lamp was turned on, the room was gloomy and dark, just like Stalin's mood at this time, Molotov hurriedly pushed

He came in with a telegram in his hand and said: "Comrade Stalin, I received an urgent telegram from Ovitsky. The Chinese has taken action in western Liaoning. He has captured Fengtian and is currently attacking the Liaodong Peninsula."

After listening to Molotov's report, Stalin showed no excitement at all, as if everything was within his expectation. He just asked calmly: "Comrade Molotov, where is Timoshenko's situation so bad?"

To what extent did the Japanese show any signs of withdrawing their troops from the Far East after Tang Qiuli launched his attack?"

Molotov's face darkened and he replied: "Currently, Timoshenko is in a very dangerous situation. There are less than 100,000 troops left. Judging from the current momentum of the Japanese attack, he can last for four to five days at most."

Time, however, the Japanese take care of the Liaoxi and Liaodong peninsulas and mobilize troops from the Far East, which is the time for Timoshenko to break out of the desperate situation."

Stalin nodded noncommittally, and then asked: "How are Zhukov's preparations going?" "According to the report of Comrade Voroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, Zhukov will need at least three weeks to launch the first wave in the Far East.

This is an offensive, and the number of troops deployed for the first time will not exceed 100,000, and the number of tanks will not exceed 500." Molotov replied cautiously.

Stalin suddenly became angry, and his voice became louder, and he said: "Let the General Staff order Zhukov to launch the first offensive within two weeks. If the war situation continues like this, we will lose the entire Far East, and the Japanese will

His greedy ambition will not stop here, he will stand on the Ural Mountains and look at the land of the Soviet Union."

Molotov did not speak. He fully understood Stalin's mood at this time. Losing Outer Mongolia and the Lake Baikal region, and losing the Far East region would be tantamount to killing him. However, if Zhukov launched an attack in a hurry, he would be successful.

How much hope can he have? But he would not express these thoughts and chose to remain silent.

Neither of them spoke. After a while, Stalin continued: "I sent a departure telegram to Tang Qiu through Ovitsky, hoping that he will abide by the agreement reached. We in the Soviet Union have fulfilled our promises and hope that he will do the same. Also, don't

If you give Zhukov any order, just follow his own plan." After saying that, Stalin seemed helpless.

Molotov left, and Stalin himself was wandering alone in this dark and depressing house, with a very ugly face. Stalin hated Tang Qiuli very much. If it weren't for this rogue Chinese, he provoked a war in Outer Mongolia and severely damaged Zhukov

The First Far East Army, the Japanese would not take the opportunity to attack the Far East.

All the situations that were not conducive to the Soviet Union were caused by this Chinese. Stalin did not take the negotiation conditions that Molotov brought back from Chongqing to heart. Not to mention adding 50,000 yuan of oil, but adding five times more, the Soviet Union

He could afford it, but for Stalin, who always appeared as a strong man, this was a great insult to him.

Stalin was accustomed to crazily pocketing his country's land and people. Such a small contribution made him extremely distressed, not because of the amount, but because the situation in the East was beyond his control. This was his biggest worry and worry.

, according to the current situation in the Far East, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Japanese Kwantung Army and Timoshenko and the Transcaucasian troops, Tang Qiuli is fully capable of regaining the Northeast region.

But he did not do this, but wanted something, just like those money-grubbing warlords in China. This is what Stalin was worried about. Zhukov's Far Eastern Front contained the Japanese offensive momentum without any problems, but for

To consolidate the situation in the Far East, we had to mobilize troops from Europe to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army.

But the situation in Europe is even more worrying. Moreover, Tang Qiuli, who has great strength, is also an unstable variable. Stalin has no idea what he will do next. He vaguely feels that he and the Soviet Union are facing each other.

It seemed that control of the Far East was no longer easy. This feeling made Stalin's mood even worse.

Liu Tiehan successively invested more than 210,000 troops, launched a large-scale offensive in the Liaodong Peninsula, from Shenyang to the south, and captured Anshan, Benxi, Liaoyang, Yingkou, Dashiqiao, Xiuyan and other important towns, and more than 20

Thousands of troops swept across the Liaodong Peninsula. The Kwantung Army's defenders stationed in this area were helpless to resist.

The Liaodong Peninsula offensive lasted just over a day and separated the Liaodong Peninsula from the northeast. The frontline of the troops was pointed directly at Anton. Immediately, the main force was divided into nine lines and advanced side by side, from north to south, toward Dalian and Lushun.

.

Liu Tiehan's tactics were simple and direct. He took advantage of superior artillery firepower and then strengthened aviation power. With the tank brigade as the leading force and a large number of infantry assaults, he first divided the Kwantung Army defenders scattered throughout the Liaodong Peninsula.

surrounded, then destroyed the Japanese positions with fierce artillery fire, and then used tanks to cover the infantry assault.

When encountering resistance from the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the artillery fire, they summoned the bombers of the aviation unit and bombed them indiscriminately. The artillery positions moved forward and were met with another burst of earth-shattering artillery fire. Such a tactic lacked heavy weapons and

Anti-tank weapons and the Kwantung Army's second-rate garrison, which had no armor at all, could not stand it and did not even have the ability to fight back.

This style of play is very effective. Liu Tiehan's theory is to avoid casualties and let artillery shells and bombs speak for themselves. The ** division's logistics supplies are sufficient and can withstand consumption. Moreover, Liu Tiehan issued an order to all participating troops not to leave prisoners.

We will not accept the surrender of Japanese troops, nor will we persuade them to surrender. Those who stand in our way will die, and those who do not stand in our way, all Japanese will die.

The East Point troops swept across the Liaodong Peninsula like a violent wind. The Japanese finally couldn't sit still. However, it was not General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, but another person.
