Age of Rebirth

Liu Tiehan asked these words with a lot of meaning. At first, when he said that he understood the true intention of the division commander, he was still at a loss. When the division commander said that the directly subordinate corps followed the North China Field Corps to act together, Liu Tiehan suddenly became enlightened.

Liu Tiehan understood Tang Qiuli's intentions. After the war began, it was impossible to hide the numbers of all the attacking troops of the Independent Division, including their strength and strength, from the Japanese, and they did not announce the mission of the regiment directly under them. The division commander's intention was to The directly subordinate corps is hidden in the combat sequence of the North China Field Corps,

In this way, you can choose the direction of attack freely. Going north, you can directly attack the Japanese Kwantung Army's Northeast Frontier Guard in Manchuria, and Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps, forming a front and back attack. The strength of the Kwantung Army's northeastern border guard Several times more, coupled with superior firepower, it is not a problem to wipe out the enemy in the northeast border area. Similarly, the flames of war in this direction will not reach the northeast.

If it goes south, it can go straight to the side of the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army in western Liaoning. It is also the same as Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, forming a front and rear attack on the main force of the Kwantung Army. Such a powerful field corps, no matter which direction it is put in, is a fatal blow to the Kwantung Army troops in any direction. The division commander's intention is to use the corps directly under it as a surprise soldier.

"The core purpose of the division commander is still not to want the flames of war to burn in the northeast inland, including ordering Hantie's marines to change the direction of attack after landing on the Liaodong Peninsula, turning to the border between China and North Korea, and blocking the defeat of the Japanese and Korean troops stationed in the northeast. The plan to retreat within the territory is also based on such considerations!" Liu Tiehan thought to himself, but he still didn't quite agree with Tang Qiuli's intentions.

but.Liu Tiehan understands Tang Qiuli's thoughts, but he is not satisfied with him so far, and still can't let go of his knot, but as an old comrade and deputy for many years, he must consider this issue from the perspective of a teacher.

"Brother Tiehan, you actually know Qiuli's intentions, please help Qiuli decide, which direction is the best for such a surprise soldier?" Just when Liu Tiehan was thinking.Tang Qiuli asked sincerely.

Tang Qiuli sincerely asked for advice, but he was also hesitant. The corps directly under him was hidden in the North China Field Corps. It was a trick, no matter which direction it was used in.All will receive miraculous effects, and the Kwantung Army's border guards can also be attacked in the north.The main force of the Kwantung Army, which attacked the western Liaoning area in the south, was also good.Therefore, it was still difficult for him to make a decision at the moment, which was why he hadn't announced the specific tasks of the corps directly under him.

Liu Tiehan glanced at Tang Qiuli, the smile in his eyes disappeared for a moment, "Teacher, there are too many targets to choose from, and it is also a trouble, I am afraid, it is in the mind of the teacher. South attack contact area The idea of ​​the main force of the Kwantung Army has gained the upper hand?——In one battle, the main force of the Kwantung Army was completely wiped out outside the hinterland of the Northeast!" He joked.

"Brother Tiehan who knows me!" Tang Qiuli nodded and said with a sigh, "Brother Tiehan, I am indeed inclined to use the corps directly under the Kwantung Army in the direction of attacking the main force of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning, but still I feel a little inappropriate, so I can't make up my mind for a long time!"

When Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan were talking, no one, including Tang Qiuquan, interrupted. On the one hand, this was an exchange between the principal and deputy commanders of the independent division. On the other hand, they were all thinking about what Tang Qiuli said just now. Well, no one thought that the division commander would hide such a killer trick in this huge battle.

Liu Tiehan said sternly: "Master, the main force of the Kwantung Army directly under the corps that attacked the western Liaoning region in the south seems to have achieved the greatest results, but I thought it was wrong. The main force of the Kwantung Army gathered in the western Liaoning region. Although our army used two corps, the front and rear However, the battle cannot be ended in a short period of time, and it will inevitably form a long-term encirclement battle. If the Kwantung Army sticks to the spot, the casualties of our army will inevitably increase!"

"This is one of them. Also, if the Kwantung Army feels that there is a dangerous situation of flanking front and back, will it move closer to the Liaodong Peninsula? This will add greater difficulties to the Marine Corps of Hantie, or will the Kwantung Army When the Army directly under the Corps and the Niangziguan Garrison Corps encircled it, before it was formed, they simply abandoned the western Liaoning area and retreated to the Korean Peninsula. At that time, what should we do?"

"Whether it is to adjust the deployment or follow the pursuit, both will disrupt our campaign plan, and the gains outweigh the losses!"

Tang Qiuli was silent. Although Liu Tiehan had imagined several bad situations just now, he thought in his heart that the possibility of them happening was not very high, but Liu Tiehan's every detail was on the line. The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and any situation might happen. s reason?

"Brother Tiehan, let's continue. Since attacking the main force of the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning is not the best plan, how about going north and attacking the Kwantung Army's border guards with the Outer Mongolian Field Corps?" Tang Qiuli followed Liu Tiehan's train of thought. Thinking about it, in his heart, he was already inclined to go north, but he still wanted to hear Liu Tiehan's opinion.

Liu Tiehan smiled and said: "Although the Kwantung Army's border guards are not strong, it seems that the results of the battle are not great, but, Commander, look at the current position of Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian Field Corps!" Liu Tiehan stood up and walked to the map forward.

"This position may be the least sharp one among the attacking troops in all directions. Moreover, it is mainly used to attract the attention of the Kwantung Army. His complexion is so ugly, I can clearly see it on the stage, his subordinates look like brigade commanders, muttering!" Liu Tiehan shook his head repeatedly while talking.

Tang Qiuli also laughed. In fact, the faces of the brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps could not escape his eyes, but he understood that anyone, with so many troops participating in the war, had offensive missions, only the Outer Mongolian Field Corps had offensive missions. The Mongolian field corps, as a bystander, was not a big blow to Sun Zhenbang and his brigade commanders who were eager to show their talents on the battlefield and become a first-class field corps.

Liu Tiehan continued: "However, if you look at the topographic map of the entire Northeast region, you will find that the position of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is really the best. Attacking from this direction to the southeast can wipe out the entire Northeast region. Divided into two, the front of the soldiers is directed at the Sea of ​​Japan. Therefore, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps can be used as a response in the middle. Going north, it can join forces with the East Pointing Forces to attack the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army. All passages to the northeast."

"You can also work with the North China Field Corps to outflank the rear of the Japanese Kwantung Army. Don't forget that in the direction of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' attack, there is Xinjing, the capital of the Puppet Manchukuo, and Harbin, the largest city in Northern Manchuria. A goal is not something that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, can bear!——Will the troops be increased? Rescue or not? The problem is left to the Japanese!"

"If the Kwantung Army divides up its reinforcements, it will be in the right hands. The situation in the Liaoxi Peninsula is more beneficial to our army. If we don't care, then let Sun Zhenbang stab him to the end and go straight into the Sea of ​​Japan! Divide the Northeast into two! Therefore, Sun Zhenbang's troops seem to be Containment, passive response, but in fact there are hidden secrets, moving is a fatal blow!"

Speaking of this, Liu Tiehan smiled slightly, and took a meaningful look at Tang Qiuli, "Master, when you put the Outer Mongolia Field Corps in this position, you probably had this plan already? It was another arrangement by you." Sharp sword, therefore, it is the best choice for the corps directly under it to go north and join forces with the Outer Mongolian Field Corps to attack the border guards of the Kwantung Army as soon as possible!"

"Wonderful words!——Brother Tiehan made an analysis, peeled off the cocoon layer by layer, and got rid of Qiu Xin's confusion, and made a decision on the fly. I am not as good as Brother Tiehan. It seems that the position of teacher is more suitable. Brother Tiehan It must be!" Tang Qiuli applauded, admiring Liu Tiehan's clear thinking.

Liu Tiehan turned pale with shock, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's got it! Don't do this again, you left the military and government affairs in the south to Qiu Sheng, what's the matter, you still want to deal with the big things in the north Can’t you throw it to me?——Then why are you going? Don’t try to hide from the quiet! Point east to those brigade commanders, I have to settle it!”

Several people laughed loudly. The joyful air filled every inch of the room. Tang Qiuli patted his head and said, "I'm still hiding? At this time, I'm afraid Sun Zhenbang will come to the door?"

"Report to the division commander, Commander Sun of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, please see me!" Outside the door, there was a special guard's loud report, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay, saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be here.

Tang Qiuli signaled, and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said, "Commander Sun, please come in!"

As soon as the door opened, most of Sun Zhenbang walked in. Probably, he did not expect so many people in the room. He was slightly taken aback, and saluted Tang Qiuquan to the two teachers. It just so happened that Deputy Division Commander Liu was also there, and Zhenbang came here this time because he had something to say, regarding the combat mission assigned by the division commander to the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, Zhenbang has an opinion..." Sun Zhenbang is also a straightforward person , Straight to the point and clarify the purpose of coming.

Tang Qiuli waved his hand, stopped Sun Zhenbang's words, and said: "Zhenbang, sit down first, you still can't hold back, I know why you came to me, so let Deputy Master Liu explain to you carefully, Why was the Outer Mongolian Field Corps deployed in that position to take on the task of containing the Japanese Kwantung Army?"

Liu Tiehan was also polite, and in front of the map, he repeated what he said just now. Sun Zhenbang's eyes became brighter and brighter. When Liu Tiehan finished speaking, he slapped his thigh suddenly, "Teacher, deputy commander, I understand. , Farewell!" Saying this, she got up and was about to leave.

"Huh!" Liu Tiehan was surprised, "Sun Zhenbang, you are so busy, you will leave soon after you come here?"

Sun Zhenbang smiled wryly, and said with some embarrassment: "I have to go back and have a meeting, otherwise, those brigade commanders of the Corps will not be able to sleep tonight! I don't want to be safe either!"
