Age of Rebirth

Colonel Yu Deshui, the head of the Intelligence Department of the Independent Division, has had a very temper these two days, but more of it is self-blame. The weakness of the intelligence network in the Northeast region is focused on big cities and along the railway, followed by county towns and some important towns. Relatively speaking, in rural and remote areas, the intelligence network has not yet been fully paved.

It is a good thing that a problem has been exposed. With Yu Deshui's ability and the efficiency of the intelligence department, this loophole will be filled soon. However, the cost is too high, so Yu Deshui is pregnant with a With a heart of self-blame, I personally sent a telegram to my teacher, Tang Qiuli, with the focus on self-reflection, and also, to take full responsibility for the intelligence system error, and request the teacher to punish me severely according to the regulations.

This kind of telegram is not easy to write. There is no clear idea yet. The meaning to be expressed is still unfinished, but the train of thought is interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. I have already told the secretary that I don’t want anyone to disturb me. . . . . . .Yu Deshui shouted angrily, "Come in!"

The door of the office was pushed open, and the Chief of the Lieutenant Colonel of the Confidential Communication Department of the Intelligence Department came in, watching the face of the Chief, he had to be cautious, saying that honest people are more scary when they get angry, and they are always as calm as a piece of ice Director, the first volcanic eruption-like rage really made the directors of these second-level departments tremble with fear. Among the officers who were trained just now, I was one of them!

To be honest, the Chief of the Confidential Communications Section never wanted to be at this time.To disturb the director, but this telegram from the teacher was sent directly to the director.Moreover, it was sent with the highest-level password, so he had to bite the bullet and come here.

Seeing the dark clouds covering Yu Deshui's face, it seemed that he was about to lose his temper.The Chief of the Confidential Communication Section hurriedly said: "Director, the teacher pointed out that there is another telegram sent directly to you!"

"Read!" Yu Deshui stood up from behind the desk and said.

"The division commander ordered Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, to quickly find out whether the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has changed?" These were the words in the telegram, and the chief of the confidential communication department finished reading it neatly.

"What?" Yu Deshui's face quickly turned livid.His cheeks trembled uncontrollably.This is an order specially given to him by the teacher.In other words, the division commander has judged that the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army.It was not the original General Nanjiro, but someone else.In connection with the Kwantung Army's raid on the Liaodong Peninsula, Yu Deshui knew in his heart that this was another serious mistake made by the intelligence department.

Yu Deshui did not doubt the judgment of the division commander. It is basically a fact that the division commander can draw this conclusion, but the response of the intelligence department in this regard is slow. The intelligence department did not get any information about the incident, and the successive bad news almost knocked him down, and he missed again and again. This was an unbearable blow for Deshui!

Yu Deshui's gaze was extremely complicated. He grabbed the telegram manuscript on the table, tore it to pieces several times, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Immediately telegraph the Fengtian Intelligence Center to find out the incumbent at any cost." The identity of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army told Ma Jiwu, the station chief of the Fengtian Intelligence Center, that I must see the definite information before [-]:[-] this evening. Work!"

Yu Deshui's tone was gloomy and cold. The lieutenant colonel chief of the confidential communication department couldn't help shivering. After quickly repeating the telegram, under the gaze of the director's knife-like eyes, he almost fled in despair and went to the corridor. , he let out a long sigh of relief, and cried in his heart: "My God, the director's eyes can kill people!"

In the office, there was only Yu Deshui himself. He was not going to send any telegrams requesting punishment to the division commander. The intelligence department made serious mistakes one after another, which could no longer be uncovered by punishment. Suddenly, a wordless exhaustion appeared in his heart. He rushed up, "After finding out the identity of the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, I personally rushed to Kailu County, Mengdong, and pleaded guilty to the division commander in person, that's the only way!" He thought.

When the independent division was shocked by the Kwantung Army's sudden attack on the Liaodong Peninsula and took countermeasures, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon, the head of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army, was not idle. After the shelling ended, The [-]th Division and its affiliated Kwantung Army troops of more than [-] people launched a full-line attack on the front line of the Sixth Brigade's Phoenix Mountain and a part of the Fifth Brigade's position. Nearly [-] Japanese soldiers shouted and stood up. The shining bayonet, at the dawn of the eastern sky, spread across the densely vegetated land of the Liaodong Peninsula, rushing forward with a ferocious murderous aura.

The charge of the Japanese soldiers was not fought back by any independent division troops. In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, the main position of Phoenix Mountain was as quiet as a cemetery, which further stimulated the fierceness of the Japanese soldiers. They rushed to the position of the independent division troops , There is no one on the battlefield, only the soil blown up by shells, broken corpses buried in the soil, guns and ammunition, weapons and equipment can be seen everywhere.

A pair of light and heavy machine guns were blown to pieces by shells, and boxes of ammunition were not even opened in time. The completely earthy trenches were almost razed to the ground, and blood stains could be seen from the trenches buried in the mud. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a scene of the soldiers of the Independent Division fleeing in embarrassment after being bombed by the imperial army's shells, causing heavy casualties.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor!" The Japanese soldiers who occupied the Phoenix Mountain position uttered shouts resounding through the sky to celebrate their victory. On the tip of the bayonet, screaming and laughing wantonly, nothing can inspire the pride of the imperial warriors more than fighting such a battle. Without a single casualty, the enemy's position was occupied!

Amidst the shouts of the soldiers like a tsunami, Lieutenant General Shinyuemon walked up to the main peak of the Phoenix Mountain position. He was not in a state of extreme excitement like ordinary soldiers, but was accompanied by a large group of staff officers. , carefully inspected several positions of the sixth brigade, and even took off his white gloves, picked up a broken limb of a soldier of the sixth brigade from the soil blown up by the shell, and observed it carefully.

The staff officers were all very puzzled by the division commander's actions, "What kind of habit? What's so interesting about the broken limbs and arms of the Chinese soldiers who were killed by shells!" Lieutenant General Shinyuemon was puzzled by the staff officers. His gaze didn't mean to explain at all, and he observed carefully again, the density and depth of the crater, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The head of the Shinyouemon division patted the dirt on his hands, and said to the division chief of staff: "Order the troops to pursue immediately, don't stop, and don't care about the formation. All soldiers, pursue the fastest speed. If my judgment is correct, the troops of the Independent Division are retreating, carrying a large number of wounded, they can't move fast, once they bite the retreating enemy, they must be wiped out on the spot, all troops continue to pursue, and before noon, they must occupy Andong City!"

"Also, send a telegram to Commander-in-Chief Meijin immediately. My [-]th Division has successfully occupied the main position of the Phoenix Mountain of the [-]th Brigade of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division. There are no casualties in the troops. The enemy hastily withdrew from the position. Now, the troops A fast pursuit is underway, and before noon today, Anton can be completely occupied!"

At the same time, on the front line of Gaizhou in the north, the [-]th Division of the Japanese Third Army and the [-]-strong affiliated Kwantung Army also launched a campaign against the main position of the Fourth Brigade and part of the Fifth Brigade. A full-line attack was launched, and the battle broke out from Anton in the south to Gaizhou in the north, but there was no fierce gunfire, only the excited and wild shouts of Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains!

After receiving the battle reports from the two divisions on the southern and northern fronts, General Umezu Yoshijiro, who has always maintained the demeanor of an imperial soldier, couldn't help laughing wildly, "Yoshi! Shinyuemon is really good. I was not disappointed!"

General Umezu Yoshijiro was indeed ecstatic. In the crisis-ridden situation of the Manchurian War, he fought such a beautiful victory on the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, without losing a single soldier, and sent three brigades of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division Inflicting serious damage and forcing him to retreat in embarrassment, not only turned the situation in Manchuria in one fell swoop, but also relieved the threat of Fengtian's flanks. The most important thing was that he needed such a big victory.

Now, this guy Shinyuemon has given himself such a victory. Unlike General Meizu's excited mood, Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, and a group of senior staff officers are full of embarrassment and stupefied. , wishing to find a crack in the ground to get in, and the adventurous attack plan that he tried his best to block had achieved unprecedented success. Talking and slapping, the ruthless fact is tantamount to inciting his own mouth.

If you have to comment on this victory, you can only say that Shinyuemon's luck is so good. At the beginning, Lieutenant General Yokoyama Yoshihiko, the commander of the Seventh Army and the commander of the Liaodong Peninsula Military District, relied on the favorable terrain. He defended the fortification system, but was beaten to pieces by all members of the Seventh Army. Now, this guy Shinyuemon is the main attacker, but he did not lose a single soldier. He severely damaged the Marine Corps of the Independent Division that swept across the Liaodong Peninsula, and occupied the The positions of the independent division troops on the line from Anton to Gaizhou.

Is the newly formed Third Army unit able to fight, or is the Kwantung Army unit not capable of fighting?Chief of Staff Matsuda had mixed feelings in his heart, including the so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred. He was also worried that if Commander-in-Chief Meijin took this matter and ran on him, he didn't need to say harsh words, but just said a few words lightly, and he would Wouldn't this chief of staff lose his prestige at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and could no longer hold his head up?

Then I will become a laughing stock in the Kwantung Army, and I will have no face to stay. Fortunately, General Meijin has no such boring thoughts. His thinking has surpassed the current battlefield and turned to the entire Liaodong Peninsula.
