Age of Rebirth

Changing the original combat deployment was not a passive thing for Ma Chaoyang who had prepared several sets of plans, it was nothing more than a change in the style of play. However, Mokpo, which was originally empty of Japanese defensive troops, became a war with the Japanese and Korean garrison troops. The battlefield where about half of the troops were overwhelmed still made Ma Chaoyang feel uncomfortable.

"It's hard to shake, I want to say how much the little devil weighs!" Ma Chaoyang gritted his teeth and muttered. Seeing the chief of staff, Colonel Xu Guangqi, he ordered a staff officer to deliver orders to the troops, and then said: "The staff Commander, report the changes in the battle deployment of our corps to the division commander and the commander-in-chief of the cross-sea campaign at the same time, and report to Commander Liu of the Air Force Qingdao Ground Air Command!"

Mengdong, Kailu County, in the headquarters of the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division, after receiving a telegram from Ma Chaoyang, Zhao Yu, the chief of staff of the division headquarters, and the major general, did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the office of the division commander Tang Qiuli. In the Liaodong Peninsula, except for a naval battle and an air battle, everything has gone well so far. The Marine Corps is going straight to the Lushunkou landing point according to the original plan.

Only the Southeastern Mobile Corps, which is attacking the Korean Peninsula, has changed its combat deployment before. Now that the troops are already at sea, the combat plan has to be changed. Will this be detrimental to the final effect of the Korean Peninsula combat plan? Impact?

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's report, Tang Qiuli didn't feel anxious at all. Looking at Zhao Yuhe's anxious face, he smiled and said, "Yuhe, there's no need to worry and worry. If the enemy changes, I will change." , is the gist of mastering the initiative on the battlefield. You see, Ma Chaoyang’s adjusted deployment will form a decisive battle with the Japanese army on the front lines of Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan. On the surface, it will increase the difficulty of landing for the Southeast Mobile Corps!”

"In fact, the Japanese army south of Incheon quickly retreated to the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula. Didn't it create an opportunity for Ma Chaoyang to gather and annihilate? Don't worry, no matter whether Ma Chaoyang or Le Yiqin, they are all battle-hardened Veteran. We don't need to worry!"

Zhao Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief, and said half-jokingly, "Master, your Southeast Mobile Corps' campaign plan changes three times a day, so you're really not worried?"

Tang Qiuli leaned back on the chair easily.He said cheerfully: "I'm not worried at all, but the Kwantung Army troops that are confronting our three corps. They have been standing still. I can't figure it out. That Nanjiro is really confident. With the Kwantung Army's existing presence in the Liaodong Peninsula With more troops and armed civilians, can they stop Hantie's troops from landing?"

Zhao Yuhe said happily: "Teacher, you are using three regiments to attack the Kwantung Army, and Nanjiro knows that his defense line in the Liaodong Peninsula is vulnerable, so what can we do? Which direction the Kwantung Army troops dare to attack?" Move, if he moves, it will create an opportunity for us, Nanjiro is old and cunning, he will not fail to see this, I judge that if the Kwantung Army wants to move, it will be after the Liaodong Peninsula is completely occupied by our army!"

"At that time, if he moves, he will be more passive. Teacher, tell me, is Nanjiro moving or not?"

Tang Qiuli stared, looked at Zhao Yuhe for a long time, and said unexpectedly, "Then you have to ask the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro!"

On the surface of the Bohai Sea, Tang Qiuquan in the command cabin of the flagship of the escort fleet, after receiving the telegram from Ma Chaoyang, smiled lightly, put the telegram on the table, and concentrated on looking at the map on the table. Seeing that the commander did not seem to have any instructions to The meaning of the order, the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo, reminded: "Commander, in the name of the cross-sea campaign command, do you want to give some specific instructions to the Southeast Mobile Corps?"

Tang Qiuquan glanced at Xin Xiguo, curled his mouth, and said, "Xiguo, what are we instructing? Now, the southern and northern sea crossing troops are basically two separate battlefields, so don't point fingers. Besides, you see After Ma Chaoyang adjusted his deployment, the enemy changed and we also changed. He has already made up his mind. He is nothing more than a head-to-head fight with the Japanese army on the front lines of Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan! Call Ma Chaoyang back, the cross-sea campaign headquarters, I completely agree with you An adjusted battle plan!"

And Liu Cuigang, who was at the Ground Command of the Qingdao Navy and Air Force Base, was taken aback after receiving Ma Chaoyang's report, then smiled, and said to the chief of staff, Colonel Dong Ningxuan: "Ningxuan, order the transport aircraft unit to immediately load a large number of construction airports. The building materials and machinery are waiting for my order, and at the same time, the engineering troops are also on standby to report Commander Ma's telegram to Commander Le!"

Dong Ningxuan was confused, "Commander, the transport aircraft unit is loaded with construction materials and construction machinery, and the engineering unit, what are they doing together?" he asked.

Liu Cuigang simply replied, "Fix the airport!"

"Repair the airport? Could it be that the commander has taken a fancy to the Japanese army's Incheon Airport? Well, it's not easy. That's the bomber group commanded by Commander Le. It was a mess!" Dong Ningxuan muttered, shaking his head to convey the order. up.

Liu Cuigang's war vision is very unique. After receiving the telegram from Ma Chaoyang, he realized that there is no possibility of a major war in Incheon, which means that, including Incheon and Seoul, will soon fall into the Southeast Mobile Corps Next, a large-scale battle will take place at the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula, Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan. The battle will be very fierce. The opponent of the air force will be the Japanese land-based air force in Japan. .

If the air force wants to gain air supremacy on the Korean Peninsula battlefield, the field airport must be pushed forward. It turns out that the Japanese military airport in Incheon is the best location. The voyage is quite far, which greatly shortens the time of fighter jets in the air. However, the Japanese fighter group in Japan is different. It is only separated from the Korean Peninsula battlefield by the Korean Strait. In terms of air distance alone, the fighter group of the Independent Division suffers. .

Liu Cuigang absolutely could not agree to this obvious loss. Therefore, he wanted to repair the Incheon Airport in the shortest possible time, and advance to the field airport as an aviation unit to completely reverse the disadvantage of the long voyage.

"Old buddy! I didn't expect that you bombed so hard at the beginning, but now I want to repair the Incheon Airport. If I knew this, I should have let you do it lightly!" Liu Cuigang shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself language.

In Busan, the southernmost tip of the Korean peninsula, the Japanese and Korean Garrison Command has been transferred here. It is a new place, with a huge headquarters, various functional departments, and the placement of nearly a thousand people. There are many clues. These, Commander General Tanaka Shin ignored it and passed it all on to the head of the logistics department. His only request to the head of the logistics department was that no matter how difficult it was, the combat and communication departments of the headquarters must start working immediately.

Now, in a small room that is many times more shabby than the luxurious office of the Seoul headquarters, General Tanaka folded his hands on his belly, closed his eyes slightly, and seemed to be calm and relaxed, but from the commander You can feel the nervousness and uneasiness in his heart from the eyebrows that twitch from time to time. It is understandable. The Chinese Independent Division troops are pressing down on the border, and the North Korean Garrison is at the critical point of shortage of troops. How can you be calm?

Major General Kamiya, the chief of staff, pushed the door open and came in, "Commander, the number and strength of the troops that have been assembled in Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan have been roughly counted. The situation is not ideal, because the order from the headquarters was issued too hastily. It was too late to gather, so they quickly assembled from the original position to the above three areas, many of which were still on the way to assemble, and the numbers of the troops arriving at the assembly place were messy, and the troops in Busan were..."

The words of Chief of Staff Kamiya were interrupted by General Tanaka, "Mr. Kamiya, I don't want to hear that the troops arrived there. You just need to tell me, how many troops are assembled in Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan now?"

Chief of Staff Kamiya swallowed his saliva and replied: "Commander, the situation is as follows. The troops assembled in Mokpo now have more than 11 troops, and the troops assembled in Gwangju now have more than [-] troops. The troops assembled in Busan now have more than [-] people. In the above three places, the imperial army has assembled a total of nearly [-] troops! About one-third of the heavy equipment has arrived at the assembly place. The tank troops All arrived!"

"Yoxi, at least I haven't disappointed me, it's alright, I can fight to the death here with an independent division!" General Tanaka said to himself, "Mr. Kamiya, convey my order to the troops that have arrived at the assembly point and establish Mokpo The headquarters of the Battle of Kwangju, Pusan, and Busan, with the officer who arrived first and the officer with the highest rank as the commander, unified the command of the troops, and built fortifications on the spot in Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan, facing the direction of Incheon, and built two lines of defense The fortifications, and the troops that arrived later must be incorporated into the current sequence of troops! The commander is transferred to the deputy!"

Chief of Staff Kamiya was silent for a while. He felt that the commander's order seemed to be in a mess. It seemed to be a rout. If not all arrived, but the system is still there, how can it be disrupted? Isn't the commander afraid of causing chaos in the command system and affecting the combat effectiveness of the troops?

What's more, those division heads usually think highly of themselves, are arrogant, and are not convinced by each other. Suddenly, they become another deputy. How can they adapt psychologically? If they push each other up, then Stop fighting, blush and quarrel a few times first, I am afraid that if you don't need the independent division to fight, you will fight within yourself!

"Commander, I don't think it's appropriate to be humble!" Chief of Staff Kamiya said solemnly.
