Age of Rebirth

In the face of the sudden Japanese attack on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, Tang Qiuli remained absolutely clear-headed. He knew that not only himself, but even the all-pervasive intelligence department had been caught. , It must be the main force of the Kwantung Army that launched a sudden counterattack, and this main force of the Kwantung Army can only be the two Japanese divisions that inexplicably went north to Harbin.

On the line from Gaizhou to Anton, the three brigades of the Marine Corps are incapable of fighting in reality, so the above-mentioned areas can only be abandoned, and must be under the cover of aviation, otherwise, tens of thousands The poisoned wounded can only be the target of massacre by soldiers of the Kwantung Army.

Without hesitation, Zhao Yuhe immediately ordered Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, to quickly send the commander's order to the relevant troops and local governments. After the most urgent matter was dealt with, Zhao Yuhe suggested: "Master, three marines With a brigade of nearly 5 troops, more than 70.00% of the soldiers are poisoned, and retreating is a great pressure. I suggest that the local government on the front line of Gaizhou in Anton be ordered to do their best to organize vehicles and help the troops transport the wounded!"

"Also, with so many poisoned wounded, I am afraid that with the personnel and conditions of the field hospitals of the three brigades, they cannot be treated in time. The logistics department of the division should be ordered to quickly organize a large number of military doctors in each unit and allocate medicines to the area from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe , responsible for treating the wounded!"

"Okay, Yuhe, let's give the order according to your opinion!" Tang Qiuli immediately agreed with Zhao Yuhe's opinion without hesitation.

When Tang Qiuli arrived at the headquarters, a ray of dawn appeared in the eastern sky.It has been more than 50 minutes since the emergency telegram was received from the Liaodong Peninsula troops. No one knows that the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield.The situation at the moment.

Hearing that there was an emergency, the officers from various divisions of the division rushed to the headquarters. Tang Qiuli's first order was to Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department.However, the content of the telegram is not harsh, and he also knows that the intelligence department is not omnipotent. At this time, blaming the intelligence department is undoubtedly an evil fire, "Director Deshui of the intelligence department, order your department. Find out quickly. The unit number of the Kwantung Army on the Liaodong Peninsula. And the name of the commander! Also, find out whether the two divisions of the Japanese Third Army that went north to Harbin arrived on time?"

After dealing with these things.Tang Qiuli lit a cigarette while waiting for the follow-up telegram from the Liaodong Peninsula troops.While sorting out his thoughts, he had a feeling that it was definitely not the tactics of General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, who resorted to deception and secret tricks. He had dealt with that Nanjiro for many years, and he was familiar with his routines. However, Nanjiro's military command ability is extremely mediocre, and his tactics tend to be conservative.

However, the choice to use the Liaodong Peninsula as a breakthrough point to launch a counterattack this time requires the commander to have great courage and skillful command ability. In the Fengtian area, not only careful planning in terms of tactics and strategies, but also great risks are required. Otherwise, once the plan is revealed, what is waiting for the Kwantung Army on the Liaodong Peninsula will be an independent division with unprecedented strength.

At least, the six brigades commanded by Han Tie will come back in time. Also, the three brigades of the Marine Corps originally scheduled, and the strength of the Liaodong Peninsula, add up to more than twelve brigades, and only two divisions in the Kanto region Army, didn't you come to die?

To choose this offensive node, you need to have a clear judgment on the entire Northeast War situation and even the Far East and the Korean Peninsula. On the whole, only the Liaodong Peninsula is where your troops are temporarily weak. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has a very strong vision Poisonous, I caught the most crucial point at once!

"Could it be that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has changed?" Tang Qiu thought of this possibility, "Yuhe!" he shouted.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked over quickly, "Yuhe, send a telegram to the intelligence department to find out quickly whether the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has changed?"

Zhao Yuhe was startled and asked back: "Master, you mean that the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Nanjiro, led the attack on the Liaodong Peninsula, but someone else?" How could our intelligence system not get any news about such a small matter? Impossible!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head slightly, and said: "Yuhe, anything is possible. The Kwantung Army's counterattack against the Liaodong Peninsula, the secretive actions, the deceitful tactics, and the precise placement. Think about it, it is Nanjiro's consistent command." style?"

Zhao Yuhe Moran, although he didn't believe that the Kwantung Army had changed its commander, the division commander's analysis just now was irrefutable. Zhao Yuhe was also very familiar with Nanjiro, and he was very familiar with the counterattack on the Liaodong Peninsula. , It's not the same method at all. If it is true that the Kwantung Army has changed commanders, then this unknown new opponent, as soon as he comes up, will give the independent division troops a big blow. This person's command ability and means of doing things should not be underestimated. !

Putting aside his worries about this unknown opponent for the time being, Zhao Yuhe raised another crucial question, saying, "Master, there is no troops on the line from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe in the Liaodong Peninsula, and we need to evacuate due to casualties alone. With tens of thousands of wounded, the [-]th to [-]th Brigades of the Marine Corps retreating here may not be able to stop the Japanese army from continuing to attack the south. Do you want to order the [-]st to [-]rd Brigades of the Marine Corps on the Mokpo battlefield to leave the battle immediately and return to Liaodong? Deploying a line of defense on the peninsula?"

Tang Qiuli sighed and said, "Oh! At the beginning, I decided that the three brigades of the Marine Corps would stay on the Mokpo battlefield for two more days. Now it seems that it was a fatal mistake. Ok Yuhe, give the order. The troops must arrive at the line from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe this evening!"

"In addition, order Li Honggang's No. 20 Ninth Corps to mobilize three brigades and go directly to the Liaodong Peninsula. All the troops in the Liaodong Peninsula will be unified under the command of the division. I hope Liu Cuigang's aviation can buy us a day. !"

"Order Han Tie, even if the battle is not over in the Tokugawa battlefield in the northern part of the Korean peninsula, the main force must be evacuated, and the assembly point is the border area between China and North Korea. Brigade, continue to wipe out the remnants of the No.40 Third Division of the Japanese Army, the place where I, Tang Qiuli, was forced to give up, how can I easily succeed, the Japanese army will have to pay the price!"

When he said these words, Tang Qiuli's eyes shot out a cold light, and Zhao Yuhe caught the key point at once, "Master, what do you mean, although we were forced to abandon the line from Gaizhou to Andong, along with the Kanto The army's offensive troops continued to penetrate into the hinterland of the Liaodong Peninsula, which just gave us the opportunity to attack from both sides? The troops commanded by Commander Hantie withdrew from the Beidafeng Mountains to achieve this goal?" He judged prudently.

"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!" Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "The Kwantung Army's two divisions and three and a half brigades, less than 10 troops, are not enough to sweep the Liaodong Peninsula. I judge that the new commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army will inevitably continue to increase troops on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield. Then, in the Northeast, only the remaining two divisions of the Japanese Third Army that are still in Vladivostok are mobile forces, so that's fine. , the uncertain factor of the Third Army finally no longer interferes with our overall campaign plan!"

Zhao Yuhe got excited, and immediately gave orders to Han Tie. In fact, Tang Qiuli had this battle idea, which was only sprouted when he was passive, and it was also made according to the changes in the battlefield situation. In his heart, a faint Painful, confirming the intention of the Japanese Third Army, the three brigades of the Marine Corps, paid too much, and most of the casualties were optimistic.

Beiping, Headquarters of the Intelligence Department of the Independent Division, the director is Colonel Yu Deshui, who has always been calm and calm, today, he lost his temper, and slapped the table with a livid face. The directors of several departments are drooping Head, listening to the director's thunderous fury.

At this moment, Yu Deshui is thinking about hitting the wall. The intelligence office, which claims to have an intelligence network covering the entire Northeast, has made such a major mistake. Two divisions of the Japanese army, tens of thousands of people, Mingxiu plank road , Secretly concealing Chen Cang, this ancient Chinese strategy has been hidden from the eyes of the entire Northeast intelligence system. This is an unforgivable mistake, and the cost of the mistake is actually huge. The three brigades of the Marine Corps suffered more than half of the casualties.

After receiving the telegram from the division commander, Yu Deshui almost vomited blood, and then, the information from the Harbin intelligence station also came, "It has been found out that the Japanese troop transport train going north did not get off a large number of Japanese soldiers after arriving in Harbin." , we suspect that this is a suspicious strategy of the Japanese army!"

"In addition, Mudanjiang's intelligence station found out afterwards that a large number of Japanese troops were heading towards Dunhua by car two days ago. Our station immediately ordered the intelligence stations along the way to quickly find out the matter. The [-]th Division and [-]th Division of the Japanese Third Army got off the bus in Mudanjiang, and the follow-up reconnaissance is in progress, if there is any new situation, report it immediately!"

Yu Deshui listened to the words of the head of the telecommunications department with cold eyes, and then squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "Afterwards!" Indeed, Yu Deshui was furious. , the fight has already begun, and the intelligence has only arrived at the headquarters. Isn't this a typical afterthought!

Yu Deshui reviewed the serious mistakes this time. He believed that the mistakes of the Harbin Intelligence Station were very serious, but the main responsibility was still on himself. It was not Yu Deshui's style to blame all the mistakes on his subordinates. He pointed out sternly After making mistakes in several functional departments, he kicked out all the section chiefs, and sent a telegram to the teacher himself, asking the teacher to deal with him seriously.

Before the telegram was finished, there was a light knock on the office door, which interrupted his train of thought, and Yu Deshui shouted angrily, "Come in!"
