Age of Rebirth

Colonel Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special warfare detachment, obtained this extremely important information in Khabarovsk, where the headquarters of the Japanese Far East Campaign is located. Prince Guan Zairen, the specific deployment for the next step, but the arrival of this information completely shattered his original campaign plan to recover the Northeast and Far East.

Tang Qiuli's ideal way of fighting is that the main battlefield should not be in the Northeast. At the very least, most of the Japanese army's strength is not in the Northeast, and the Far East is undoubtedly the best area and the most suitable battlefield.

The deputy division commander Liu Tiehan was silent after reading the telegram. The current campaign plan has been revised, and he presided over it. Although he persuaded the division commander, he should not worry too much. What if the main battlefield is in the Northeast? , Big deal broke the rebuild!

However, the Northeast is Liu Tiehan's homeland, and he doesn't want his homeland to fall into the flames of war. When revising the battle plan, he also focused on large-scale decisive battles with the main battle group of the Japanese army in the Far East. However, Chutian This piece of information means that the previous hard work was in vain, which is the meaning of the teacher's sigh "everything has to be overthrown!"

The two big men of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan, did not speak, each thinking silently. The division pointed to the chief of staff Zhao Yu and major general, and the east pointed to the chief of staff, major general Yang Ketian. Frowning frowningly, but also thinking!

After a while, Tang Qiuli raised his head, looked at the three people, and said slowly: "Brother Tiehan, Yuhe, and Ketian, I propose a plan. If our troops pointed to the east, besiege the Japanese army returning to the Far East Will the troops of the Far East Expedition Army, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops in the northeast, go to the rescue?"

Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian looked at each other, but neither of them spoke, because the deputy division commander Liu Tiehan hadn't spoken yet. Tang Qiuli's gaze was fixed on Liu Tiehan. This is a difficult question to answer. lesson.Will Zai Ren, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, repeat the same mistakes? Besides, he will fight against the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army with the strength of a single family of Dongzhi troops.In terms of military strength, it does not have an absolute advantage!

There is a saying in the art of war: "Surround it five times and wipe it out ten times!" That is to say.If you want to encircle the enemy army, you must have more than five times the enemy force. If you want to wipe out the enemy army, you must have more than ten times the enemy force. Edong refers to the current force, which obviously cannot meet the encirclement standard.Not to mention the complete annihilation of the Japanese army, Tang Qiuli's idea actually has a strong idealistic color, so.He wanted to hear Liu Tiehan's opinion.

Liu Tiehan said, "Teacher, my judgment is that there are five or five numbers between the two!" The tone was calm, obviously the result of careful consideration.

Tang Qiuli's eyes jumped, and he said, "Oh!—Brother Tiehan, let me talk about your thoughts!"

Liu Tiehan walked up to the map, pointed to the location of western Liaoning and said, "Chutian's intelligence also mentioned a key point. The Japanese Kwantung Army all withdrew to the northeast territory. What is Ren's intention?"

"Is it a strategic defense, or Zairen feels that the strong presence of our army in the western Liaoning area is a great threat to the northeast, so take precautions early, or use the Kwantung Army as the main force to fight a decisive battle with our army in the western Liaoning area?"

"If this possibility is true, the western Liaoning region will inevitably fight first. Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, together with Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps who has returned to the Pingjin area, will face the Kwantung Army in terms of strength and weapons. , all have relative advantages, Zai Ren wants to solve the Liaoxi problem, it will not be achieved overnight, under such circumstances, even if the Dongzhi troops are in the Far East and encircle the Japanese Far East Front Army, Zai Ren will not be able to deploy the Kwantung Army for reinforcements!"

"Brother Tiehan, you just said that it is impossible for the Kwantung Army to be transferred to the Far East, so what is the possibility?" Tang Qiuli asked with twinkling eyes.

Liu Tiehan smiled, and then said: "As for the possibility, it is the information sent back by Chutian. Some of the content is inaccurate. The Kwantung Army will not go to the western Liaoning area, but to recover in the northeast. Once war breaks out in the Far East again, the Kwantung Army will The army can quickly go north for reinforcements, but I believe that Chutian's information will not be wrong!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "Brother Tiehan, your assumption is not valid, so you are sure that even if the Far East is turned upside down, the Kwantung Army will not go out of the Northeast for reinforcements, is it so? Your two But the number between five and five should be counted as counter-evidence to my proposal just now?"

Liu Tiehan smiled slyly and said: "Master, I really judged this way. The Japanese Kwantung Army will not leave the Northeast. You might as well analyze it. Before that, the reason why Zairen dared to concentrate the Kwantung Army and most of the Japanese troops in the Far East There is a prerequisite for a decisive battle with the Soviet army in the region, that is, according to Zai Ren's judgment, it is impossible for us to use troops in the Northeast under such a situation!"

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe took over the conversation and said, "I understand what the deputy division commander meant. At that time, the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army, with more than one million troops, was in the Outer Mongolian area, looking for an opportunity for us to fight a decisive battle. We were facing tremendous pressure from the Soviet Army. If we seek self-protection first, we will have no time to attack the Northeast, but the situation is quite different now. The Soviet army has all withdrawn from the Far East and Outer Mongolia. Our army has no worries. The future battlefield in the Far East will be our confrontation with the Japanese army. The situation, the possibility of attacking to the northeast is extremely high!"

Liu Tiehan smiled and said: "Yuhe, you have made great progress after being with the commander for a few years. Yes, that's the case. We can see from the map of the Northeast. If the Japanese Kwantung Army is not transferred back to the Northeast, then, in the Northeast In the whole territory, the Japanese army's garrison strength is extremely weak, Zai Ren will not fail to see this, even if I am in this situation, I will break out in a cold sweat!"

"The Soviet army used troops in the Far East and Outer Mongolia at the same time, which naturally fulfilled the division commander's strategic concept. There was no need for a large-scale decisive battle with the Soviet army, and the use of Japanese hands drove all the Soviet troops away from the Far East. However, from another From a point of view, it also caused us to lose the best chance to regain the Northeast, there is no way, the sugar cane cannot be sweet at both ends!"

Liu Tiehan spread his hands, a little unwilling, Zhao Yuhe and Yang Ketian laughed, but Tang Qiuli didn't smile, and the three of them looked at him together.

Liu Tiehan's analysis greatly touched Tang Qiuli's thinking, "Are I too demanding of an ideal result?" In the final analysis, he did not want to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the Japanese army in the Northeast. However, the reality is that it is inevitable!

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli felt a sharp pain in his heart, "My hometown is still unavoidable! Since it is unavoidable - let's fight!" Perhaps, at this moment, he really let go of the deep feelings in his heart. concern.

"Brother Tiehan! Chutian's information is accurate, and Zairen's deployment may not be an opportunity for us!" Tang Qiuli said with sparks in his eyes. For some reason, Zhao Yuhe followed him. In Yang Ketian's eyes, the teacher seemed to have undergone some unspeakable changes.

But Liu Tiehan knew very well that although the conversation at the Chita Command Center on the balcony on the third floor that night touched the teacher's heart, it did not completely dispel his concerns. It is understandable that the teacher tried his best to keep the flames of war away from the However, according to Chutian's information, the approach and assumptions in the Northeast were unavoidable, and he finally made up his mind.

Liu Tiehan was sincerely happy. His analysis just now was not intended to eliminate the last worry in the teacher's heart, "Master, I would like to ask, why did you say that?" Liu Tiehan half-joking Said.

Tang Qiuli said: "If Zairen continues to gather the Japanese troops in the Far East in the area between the Northeast and the Far East, it will be an embarrassing bone for us. With nearly 200 million Japanese troops, if we want to encircle and wipe them out, it will be easier said than done. , However, what Zai Ren is doing now has given us all opportunities to break through!"

"The Japanese Kwantung Army marched to the west of Liaoning. Regardless of whether Zairen was defending or preparing to attack, the battlefield would not go deep into the hinterland of the Northeast. In this way, the damage to the entire Northeast by the war would be minimized. We can do more Better, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps and Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps, when the Kwantung Army is attacking, they can take a defensive position and attract the Kwantung Army to the front line in western Liaoning!"

"Western Liaoning will be an independent battlefield, and the Japanese Far East dispatched troops will return to the Far East, and the Japanese Korean garrison will return to the Korean peninsula. The three Japanese campaign groups in the Far East will be divided into three places, and we can take targeted deployments. , In the front of every Japanese campaign group, forming an advantage in military strength, it is absolutely possible to defeat the Japanese army one by one. The scope of the battlefield and the scale of the battle will not only be limited to the Far East and Northeast, but even the Korean Peninsula issue will be resolved together. The overseas occupied areas will be wiped out!"

Liu Tiehan, Zhao Yuhe, and Yang Ketian all stared wide-eyed. Tang Qiuli's words opened a brand new door in front of the three of them. They did not expect that the teacher's appetite would be so great. Recovering the Northeast and Far East, and now even the Korean Peninsula is included in his plan, it is exciting to think about it, the scale of the battle and the scope of the battlefield will be expanded to the Far East and Northeast Asia, it will be a battle What a magnificent battle scene!

Especially Liu Tiehan, the shock and relief in his heart are beyond words. "Once the teacher puts aside all concerns, his thinking and vision will see farther and think deeper. At this point, I can't match it!" he thought to himself.

"Master, do you have a new campaign plan?" Liu Tiehan asked.
