Age of Rebirth

In the spring of the 25th year of the Republic of China (AD 1936), the earth recovered and the vegetation became green. Tang Qiuli stood at the Shanhaiguan City Tower and looked at the land of eastern Hebei. , Panoramic view, the land of Kanto at this time, the ice and snow have just melted, and the spring is coming. Behind him, there are 10,000+ Kwantung Army chasing troops.

Years later, Tang Qiuli returned to the base, and all the preparations for the troops to go south and enter the customs were ready. The soldiers who had been repaired for a winter were full of energy and high fighting spirit. Commanders at all levels kept inquiring about when they would enter close?Their hearts have already flown to the high mountains of the Great Plains of North China and the Taihang Mountains.

As soon as the first lunar month came out, Tang Qiuli dispatched several troops to join up with the special warfare unit that had been active here in the East Manchuria area, and attacked frequently. As long as it was a valuable target, it would become the target of the troops. The main point is that, taking the brigade as a unit, more than 2000 people are in one group, blooming in all directions. For a while, the land of Dongman was full of gunpowder, gunshots continued, and all targets of the Japanese and puppets were destroyed.

Tang Qiuli sent out more than 3 troops, which turned the East Manchurian area upside down. Telegrams from all over the country urgently and requesting reinforcements flew to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army like flakes. They all said that they were besieged by the main force of the Bloody Hands. , Nanjiro was in the headquarters, and Chief of Staff Shuzo Nishio looked at each other, and behind them stood a large group of senior officers. [

What Nanjiro didn't understand was that, apart from annihilating a brigade of the Kwantung Army in Taipingling Town, the troops of the Bloody Hands, which had been silent for a whole winter, were harassed by a small group of 80 people. What attempt?

Regardless of the attempt, the situation in Dongman is critical, but it is imminent and needs to be resolved urgently. The mobile encirclement and suppression units of the Kwantung Army stationed in various places, after receiving the order from the Kwantung Army Command, returned to the construction urgently and reorganized .

More than [-] devils rushed to the East Manchurian area in multiple ways. When they arrived with great effort, the center of gravity of the combat area shifted to the Northern Manchurian area.

The devil troops turned around and headed north, chasing after the footprints of the Blood Hand regiment troops, but the strange thing is that this time, the Blood Hand regiment troops fought in a completely different way from before. They don't like fighting, and some targets even leave with one blow, causing the defenders to have a false alarm, and attacking at multiple points at the same time, forcing the Kwantung Army to maneuver to encircle and suppress troops, continuously divide troops, and rescue everywhere.

Later, even with the brigade or squadron as the unit, the distance between the various troops continued to widen, and communication was inconvenient. This gave the Bloody Hands troops an opportunity, and news of small groups of troops being wiped out continued to spread. Commanders at all levels of the Kwantung Army had to shrink their forces, form part of a heavy army group, divide into several groups, and pursue and suppress them northward.

As the battle line went northerly and closer to the Sino-Soviet border, Nanjiro was even more confused. Could it be that the troops of the Bloody Hands were going to seek refuge in the Red Soviet Russia?Not only Nanjiro didn't believe this kind of speculation, but even his senior staff officers didn't believe it either.

Nanjiro had no choice but to be depressed every day, watching the battle reports sent back by various chasing troops, all of which reported how many kilometers they had marched today. What Nanjiro wanted to see most, the number of troops that eliminated the Bloody Hands, had never appeared, at most Report how many enemies have been defeated in a certain place today.

Nanjiro and Nishio Shuzo, as well as the senior staff of the headquarters, never believe that the bloody hand Qiuli is the commander of the troops, and they will compete with the 10,000+ Kwantung Army on the soles of their feet, and run around for fun!So, what is his real intention?

No matter how you say it, the current form is beneficial to the Kwantung Army. The main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment is concentrated in a narrow strip in the east corner of North Manchuria, which is convenient for the Kwantung Army to form an encirclement trend. After careful argumentation with his staff, Nanjiro believes that This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to urgently mobilize troops from all over Manchuria, leaving one-third of the troops to defend in situ, maintain local law and order, and prevent the Anti-Union Forces from taking the opportunity to take action.

All the troops were transferred to form a second encirclement circle and pressed towards North Manchuria. As a result, the defensive forces in various places were empty, giving the Anti-Union troops an opportunity. Military masters, how can such a good opportunity be missed, commanding all the troops under his command, taking the opportunity to fight, attacking the city, destroying the local Japanese and puppet institutions, and gaining a lot.

Nanjiro doesn't care too much about the corrupt situation in various places. The big deal is to return to the army at that time, and then take it back. Eliminating the vital forces of the Bloody Hands is the only goal at present. This Chinese armed force is already a serious problem for the public security in Manchuria. He was allowed to slip away several times. This time, he must not let it go. If the main force of the Bloody Hands does not want to be wiped out, the only way to go is to retreat into the territory of Soviet Russia.

If the troops of the Bloody Hands retreated into the territory of Soviet Russia, they would not have to worry about it. However, there are indications that they did not have this intention, but were more active in the original combat area. The commanders of the Kwantung Army at all levels People don't think that Xueshou Qiuli is an idiot or a lunatic, and his past achievements show that he is an extremely difficult Chinese.

Nanjiro and Nishio Shuzo are even more confused, what is the bloody hand Qiuli doing?However, when the 10,000+ army gradually presses up and gradually compresses the living space of the Bloody Hands, all the answers will be revealed.

At the beginning of April, the mystery was revealed. In the northern area of ​​Ximan, a main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment suddenly appeared, with tens of thousands of troops. Now it is in the Ximan area, wantonly destroying the local defenders, and gradually moving to Chahar Attack in the north direction.

Nanjiro knew the answer, but he was even more confused. On the Sino-Soviet border in northern Manchuria, the main force of the Bloody Hands was fighting against the mobile encirclement and suppression forces of the Kwantung Army. Then, in Ximan near the Chahar Grassland, it was the Bloody Hands again. main force of the regiment.

Nanjiro muttered to himself, turned around and asked these senior staff members: "Masters, who can tell me how many troops the Bloody Hands have, and can the main force appear in two completely opposite directions?"

Those of his aides couldn't answer at all, and only Tang Qiuli, the instigator of the Eastern Manchurian offensive, knew the exact answer.

The more than 3 troops he sent out were to form a strong and fierce offensive in the East Manchuria and North Manchuria areas, thus creating such an illusion for the Kwantung Army Command that the main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment was all concentrated in the East Manchuria area .

After Nanjiro believed it to be true, the troops gradually attacked in the direction of North Manchuria. The more lively the fight, the better. After Nanjiro asked the Kwantung Army to maneuver the encirclement and suppression troops to follow up with all their strength and formed a second encirclement circle, all the main forces suddenly Break away from the war zone, insert into the eastern Mongolia area, and then enter the northern part of Chahar. [

To join up with the troops that suddenly attacked at the base and complete the entire campaign plan is to attract the Kwantung Army mobile encirclement and suppression corps and the devils' defensive forces in the Ximan and Chahar areas to the eastern part of North Manchuria. The farther away from the Ximan area, the better. , To clear the way for the troops to go south smoothly.

As for staying in the North Manchuria area, it is the special warfare units that attract the attention of the devils. In the second stage of the campaign, the scattered special warfare forces gather and concentrate to form several attacking forces, and increase the attack power of key targets. Create the illusion of a major attack by the main force, and firmly attract the devils here. As for the later breakout, for these special forces, it is as simple as playing. For so many years, they have done this job.

At this time, the various troops that had transferred to Chabei secretly turned their heads and went south. In the central area of ​​Ximan, they joined Tang Qiuli and the others, clenched their fists, and formed a main force with more than 4 people. Tang Qiuli, who is in his hands, will never let go of the opportunity of the weak defensive troops in the Ximan area.

He divided the troops into three groups and marched side by side. The distance between the troops was no more than ten kilometers, and he swept all the way. Wherever he went, the Japanese and puppet rule collapsed. , Under the attack of firepower, it is like dust encountering a strong wind, and it will disappear with a "huh".

The troops attacked successfully and never stopped. They headed north all the way. In some places, the local puppet agencies had already heard the news and fled, leaving an empty city. Even the devils stationed there did not retreat. This move is different from that of moths. Throwing fire to kill oneself is nothing more than adding a few strokes to the number of enemies wiped out by each unit.

In the north of Ximan, at the junction of Chahar, the troops surrounded and wiped out a cavalry division of the puppet Mongolian army, more than 4000 horses, and more than 4000 well-trained cavalry who came to intercept the order of the Kwantung Army Command. forced to surrender.

This pseudo-Mongolian cavalry unit is quite powerful in combat, and the characteristics of the horseback nation are fully reflected in these cavalry. Skillful riding skills, superb knife skills, and accurate marksmanship give the soldiers of the blood hand group ,It left a deep impression.

The Blood Hand Regiment itself also has cavalry units. In all fairness, Liu Chun's cavalry detachment is far behind these Mongolian cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness, especially the quality of individual combat. It grows on the horse's back, and has formed a seamless and connected relationship with the war horse under it.

The first time the troops came into contact with them, they suffered a little loss. Tang Qiuli immediately changed his tactics, adopted a siege method, and sent a small army to bring these sturdy Mongolian cavalry into the heavy encirclement. More than 4 people, Taking advantage of the favorable terrain, various anti-cavalry fortifications were built, and more than 4000 pseudo-Mongolian cavalry were surrounded tightly. They broke through the encirclement several times, but they were all beaten back.

Foreign reinforcements, domestic food and grass, dripping water, piles of wounded soldiers, the first division of the Puppet Chahar Cavalry, fell into a desperate situation.

Five days later, Tong Batu, the commander of the cavalry division, sent a letter, claiming that he was willing to discuss with the top commander of the besieged troops a non-force solution to the current problem, but he asked the top commander of the besieged troops to come to his camp in person. Negotiate internally to show sincerity, otherwise, all the more than 4000 soldiers of the First Cavalry Division will definitely break through with all their strength and fight to the death.
