Age of Rebirth

In Kailu County, Eastern Mengdong, General Tang Qiuli, the commander of the independent division, stood in front of a large military map, carefully examining the current military deployment in the Northeast region. Telegram from Command!"

Tang Qiuli looked away from the map, looked at the smiling Zhao Yuhe, and said, "Yuhe, from your expression, I can tell that it must be good news!"

Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "It's good news. Commander Tang called, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula is under control! Two battles a day, first the Southeast Mobile Corps severely damaged the two divisions of the Japanese army on the Mokpo defense line, and then the entire aviation force. Annihilating the Japanese Korean Peninsula Joint Air Force, that is a strengthened air force with more than [-] combat aircraft in eight fighter wings and four bomber wings!"

Tang Qiuli nodded in satisfaction and said, "Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang are two partners, one is courageous and resourceful, the other is calm and experienced, and they will never disappoint. Well, this battle of the aviation force is of great significance. After gaining air supremacy on the Korean Peninsula battlefield, it can threaten the Japanese mainland, now, it is the turn of Emperor Hirohito to be nervous for a while!"

"By the way, Yuhe, send a special telegram to Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, telling them that at present, the air force mainly controls the air supremacy of the Korean Peninsula battlefield, and it is not appropriate to attack the Japanese mainland. In a word, time Not yet!"

"Liu Cuigang is not worried about digging, mainly because of Le Yiqin. In the short term, Japanese aviation troops dare not set foot in the battlefield of the Korean Peninsula. There is no battle to fight, and it is uncomfortable to be idle. This militant may bring hundreds of aircraft with him someday." Fighter, go to Japan for a walk!"

Zhao Yuhe was told by the teacher.I laughed out loud, "Teacher, take this opportunity to destroy all the airports of the Japanese air force on Kyushu Island, and completely remove the advance base of the Japanese air force, which poses a threat to our army on the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. In terms of the situation in front of us , it’s okay, I think. You are still too conservative!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Zhao Yuhe with a smile, and said, "It seems that the war on the Korean Peninsula is going smoothly, and you, the chief of staff, are eager to try. Yuhe, I still say the same thing. The time has not yet come!"

"The battlefield is outside the Japanese mainland. No matter how much the Japanese army loses, it will not shake the Japanese government. However, once the battlefield appears in the Japanese mainland, the meaning is completely different. The Japanese will feel that we are the biggest Threat, will do everything in the country to deal with us!"

"Even, on the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific. The Japanese will make peace with the Allied Forces and put forward conditions acceptable to the Allied Forces. For example, the Japanese army will stop its offensive on the Australian battlefield, withdraw from Australia, and even give up the troops in the Southwest Pacific. Certain islands, but the economic interests of the Japanese here, as well as the necessary right to garrison must be ensured!"

"The allied forces dispatched by Japan in the Southwest Pacific will be very happy to accept the conditions of the Japanese, and even gloat to see that the Japanese are doing their best to deal with us. In the face of interests, the enemy can also Shake hands and make peace, if so, it will become our family and face the whole of Japan alone, we must be vigilant and not force the Japanese to the point of negotiating peace with the Allies!"

"At least not this year. Therefore, the overall deployment of the Northern Campaign is to fight outside the mainland of Japan, including the Far East, the Korean Peninsula, and the entire Northeast. This is the goal I am determined to capture. After that, we can fight with Chen Bing in When the above-mentioned areas are fought, the Japanese are not up to it. Clearing the periphery is our current key task. I have not launched a general offensive against the Kwantung Army for a long time. I just want to end the Far East campaign first and eat up all the Japanese troops sent to the Far East. , More than 50 Japanese troops are a great threat to our troops charged with attacking the Kwantung Army!"

"And the entire Pacific region is the next step to focus on. At this time, don't provoke the Japanese too much. Therefore, you must tell Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang to understand this clearly and analyze the problem from the perspective of the overall situation. The time has not come to attack the Japanese mainland!"

Zhao Yuhe grinned. He didn't expect that his seemingly casual suggestion would lead to such a long speech from the division commander, "Yuhe, when will the three brigades of the Marine Corps on the Mokpo battlefield return to the original organizational system? Recently, the Liaoxi area And the Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area are constantly transferred to the direction of Fengtian. Although there are not many troops, I am worried that on the front line of Gaizhou and Andong, the Hantie troops only have three brigades, and their strength is relatively weak. What risky action would you take?"

"The other three brigades commanded by Han Tie have already entered the northern part of the Korean peninsula from the border between China and North Korea. They are working with the three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps to encircle and wipe out tens of thousands of remaining Japanese troops from Incheon to the border area. I am afraid that the battle will not end in a short time! Must Have you noticed that the Kwantung Army in Fengtian from the south will take any action?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "According to the original plan, to strengthen the three brigades of the Marine Corps in the direction of the Korean Peninsula. After participating in today's battle, they should board the ship tomorrow morning and go directly to Gaizhou and Andong. However, Because of the sudden air battle, the offensive plan of the troops on the Mokpo battlefield was temporarily canceled. The opinion of the Korean Peninsula Theater Command is that after the offensive is resumed at dawn tomorrow, after the battle is over, the Marine Corps will return to the construction without affecting The overall situation, otherwise, we will have to re-adjust the deployment!"

Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, it was wrong for him to arrive, but he couldn't say why, and Brother Qiuquan's suggestion was also normal. After all, the overall offensive deployment has been completed. , will affect the offensive rhythm and deployment.

After thinking for a while, Tang Qiuli took a compromise and said, "Okay, Yuhe, then send a telegram to Commander Tang to make it clear that the three brigades of the Marine Corps should not exceed the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Return to the original system, but don’t go to Gaizhou and Andong, but gather at the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan on the Liaodong Peninsula!”

In Busan at the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, the sun in June is as warm as a sympathetic hand, shining on the body, which makes people feel happy, but for General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of Japan’s Korean Garrison, this sunny morning is not in the slightest. He couldn't feel the warmth, he was cold from the heart.

Chief of Staff of the Garrison Army on the Korean Peninsula.Major General Kamiya's face was gloomy. Just now, he bit the bullet and reported a bad news to the Commander. The Imperial Korean Peninsula United Air Force was wiped out. No one was spared from the Commander, Major General Sato. Now, Kyushu At the joint air force base on the island, there are only a few reconnaissance planes left, and there are ground crews. An air force with hundreds of combat aircraft was wiped out in just a few hours. Chief of Staff Kamiya The shock in my heart can't be added!

General Tanaka's mood is extremely bad. Sato's United Air Force is his best hope to regain the air supremacy on the Korean Peninsula battlefield. Although it is not assigned to the command of the Garrison Command, it is closely related to the fate of the Garrison Army. Now. . . . . .General Tanaka shook his head in pain, his face paled.

Because Sato's United Air Force is not under his command, the Army Aviation Department of the base camp can't blame himself for the responsibility of all Yu Sui, but General Tanaka would rather accept the punishment of the base camp, so that his heart can still feel better!

General Tanaka was reflecting, if he hadn’t sent that threatening telegram, maybe—maybe Sato would not have given his all to attack Mokpo and Incheon at the same time, at least the United Air Force of the Korean Peninsula would still be able to retain A trace of blood is fine now, the entire list has been removed. Do you have your own responsibility for this?

General Tanaka's heart was in a mess, like an inextricable mess, and for a while, he was in a depressed mood, "Commander, you still have to cheer up, the responsibility of all members of the Korean Peninsula United Air Force is not on you !” Chief of Staff Kamiya comforted.

"Alas!" General Tanaka sighed long, his eyes lacking the vitality he should have, "Commander, the most urgent task is how we can ensure that the second line of defense in Mokpo will not be breached by the independent division troops. A battle at dawn , The No.30 Seventh Division and the Third Division suffered heavy losses. If the independent divisions continue to attack, I am worried, will it be possible to ensure that the defense line will not be breached?" Chief of Staff Kamiya, but he does not want to see that his immediate superior, so In a state of depression, let's talk about the most important problem.

General Tanaka regained his composure and said, "Mr. Shengu, what's your suggestion?"

Chief of Staff Kamiya said: "Commander, the staff thinks that we need to increase troops! The Mokpo defense line must increase troops again. Before the air battle, we determined that the increased troops were far from enough. In the case of complete loss of air supremacy, we are in Mokpo. The strength of the battlefield must reach an unprecedented number, and it is necessary to deploy several lines of defense in depth!"

"According to the current situation, the offensive direction of the independent division troops is concentrated in the west of the Mokpo defense line. Yesterday, the intelligence department received information from our hidden agents. To the direction of Mokpo, therefore, as far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, there will be no tense situation in Busan and Gwangju for the time being, so the troops from these two places must be reinforced in the direction of Mokpo!"

"Mr. Kamiya, are you saying that the three brigades of the Independent Division that were originally advancing towards Busan and Gwangju were moved to the direction of the Mokpo battlefield? Is the information reliable?" The words of Chief of Staff Kamiya finally caught the attention of General Tanaka. asked.

Chief of Staff Kamiya replied: "Commander, the information is absolutely reliable. You also know that not only the intelligence department of our garrison army, but also the military intelligence headquarters of the headquarters are all over the Korean peninsula, and there are a large number of elite espionage personnel lurking. The intelligence jointly confirmed by several spies has been verified by each other, and there will be no problems!"
