Age of Rebirth

The chief of staff of the Independent Division, Zhao Yu, and the major general were telling the truth. In terms of distance, even if the Hantie army marched day and night, with just two feet, it was very likely to fall behind the retreating Japanese army. The front line of Gaizhou was the largest. The rest of the Japanese troops on the middle and west roads would escape along this loophole. He was thinking hard and couldn't find a solution, so he ran over early in the morning and reported to the division commander.

Tang Qiuli swallowed the bacon in his mouth, thought for a while, and said: "There is no way to do this, Han Tie should be aware of this, but we can't put all the burden on Han Tie, Yuhe, you Order the three brigades of the No.20 Ninth Corps on the northern line to send out capable light-armored small units to march quickly, rush ahead of the retreating Japanese army, and occupy all the key points on the front line of Gaizhou, and do not entangle with the Japanese army along the way!"

"In addition, order Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, and the aviation unit to dispatch around the clock to bomb the retreating Japanese troops along the way, blow up all bridges and arteries, focus on the center line and the west line, and help Han Tie from the sky. It took two days for the retreating Japanese army, and Han Tie's troops will definitely be able to arrive!"

At this time, Liu Xinlan walked out of the kitchen wearing a small snow-white apron and carrying a bowl of millet porridge. A few strands of dark hair stuck to her rosy face, and she said no under the golden light of the rising sun. Looking charming, seeing Zhao Yuhe, she smiled and greeted, "Chief of Staff Zhao is also here. It just so happens that I have breakfast with the teacher. There are still some in the kitchen!"

Zhao Yuhe had something on his mind, so he didn't want to eat, so he hurriedly declined and left in a hurry.Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Xinlan who looked like a flower with a smile, and clicked his tongue, "Yeah. The breakfast is very good, the craftsmanship has improved, and the person is more beautiful!"

Liu Xinlan glared at him shyly, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Hurry up, it's not my fault, Sister Xue is still busy in the kitchen!"

Tang Qiuli was in a good mood.Liu Xinlan's flirtatious glance almost made half of her body go numb, and she couldn't help stretching out her hand.Wanting to wrap her arms around her slender waist, "report!" The sudden report made him withdraw his hand in fright, making Liu Xinlan snicker.

Tang Qiuli looked back in displeasure.I want to see which blind guy it is.I ruined my own good deeds, and saw that the teacher pointed out that Colonel Chen Feng, the director of the Communication Department, came in a hurry. He was discouraged, and it became a rule. If Chen Feng came in a hurry, there must be no good things!

Sure enough, Chen Feng came to him.Opened the folder and took out a telegram, saying: "Master, after receiving urgent information from the intelligence department, in order to make up for the shortage of troops, the Kwantung Army headquarters recruited all the personnel of the Japanese rear in Fengtian and the surrounding areas of Fengtian, and All police officers from various police stations, as well as Japanese expatriates, formed a force of about [-] people and rushed to Liaoyang. The commanders at all levels of this temporary force were all Japanese! This is information!"

Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, and said nothing. The sudden appearance of the Japanese army must have two purposes. The first and second detachments of the Kwantung Army and the rest of the Kwantung Army's first and second detachments blocked the independent division troops that came after them.

However, that direction is the goal of Umezu Yoshijiro. Although the [-] Japanese troops assembled improvised do not have much combat effectiveness, no matter which direction they join, it will be troublesome. Tang Qiuli walked into the house with his hands folded in front of his chest. , Staring at the large military map on the wall, Zhao Yuhe came back, saw the teacher's appearance, and cast a questioning look at Chen Feng who was beside him.

Chen Feng briefly recounted the information sent by the intelligence department in a low voice. Zhao Yuhe frowned, feeling that it was difficult. The 9-odd rabble that the Japanese improvised, naturally couldn't compete with the regular Japanese army. The troops are on par, but it is also a big trouble. The strength of the troops has already surpassed the current troops of Hantie. Even if they can be defeated in the end, or even eat up this temporary Japanese army, it will take several days.

I am afraid that by that time, the Japanese army that retreated from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula will have already gone to Fengtian, and it will also be unable to successfully complete the overall plan of the division commander's Liaodong Peninsula campaign. What's worse, the Hantie troops will fight with this Japanese army , but unable to get away, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Umezu Yoshijiro, has a very vicious vision, and he grasped the crux of the problem at a glance!

Tang Qiuli looked at the map, thought for ten minutes, turned around, saw Zhao Yuhe was there, and said: "It happens that Yuhe is also there, and I judge that this improvised Japanese army is heading towards The Hantie troops went there for only one reason. At present, the biggest threat to the retreating Japanese army and the Fengtian area is the Hantie troops crossing the Yalu River. First, it can cut off the Japanese army retreating from the central Liaodong Peninsula. Second, You can directly threaten Fengtian!"

"Han Tie's four brigades have more than 7 troops, and they are going to be in a situation of being attacked on both sides!" Tang Qiuli shook his head, pointing out the crux of the problem in one word.

Zhao Yuhe's thinking followed the division commander's judgment, and he thought of a more serious problem, and said, "Master, the biggest problem we are facing at present is that we cannot mobilize troops to reinforce Commander Han in the shortest possible time. It is not a problem to face the 9-odd patchwork Japanese army alone, but it is not a problem to occupy the line from Anton to Gaizhou, but there is a serious shortage of troops to fight on the two fronts!"

Tang Qiuli agreed with Zhao Yuhe's opinion, and said: "It's time to break the boat. It will take at least two days for this sudden Japanese army to reach the Andong area. Director Chen, order Han Tie, Your department must occupy the front line of Andong in one day at the fastest speed, and occupy the front line of Gaizhou in two to three days. In addition, the sudden appearance of more than 9 Japanese troops was reported to Han Tie. He knew that he should what to do!"

Chen Feng left in a hurry, and Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, don't add an order to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin. The aviation unit must take care of two things. One is to retreat from the Liaodong Peninsula. The Japanese army on the North Road, the second is that more than 9 Japanese troops have been reinforced from the Liaoyang area. For the Japanese army on this road, the division’s request is to use the most violent bombing to delay its marching speed for more than three days! The information from the Intelligence Department, Inform them both at the same time, so that you know what to do!"

"In addition, in view of the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, our army has already grasped the initiative on the battlefield, and the war is in a state of confrontation. I ordered the Korean Peninsula Theater Command to transfer three brigades from the No. 20 Ninth Corps and immediately marched to the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield, which was assigned to Liaodong The command sequence of the northern combat group on the peninsula battlefield transported troops by sea to land at Andong Port, and limited the troops to be mobilized to reach Andong within two days. The No. 20 Ninth Corps Headquarters and the rest of the troops remained in North Korea. Peninsula Mokpo battlefield!"

While recording the order, Zhao Yuhe thought to himself: "Well, Li Honggang's No.20 Ninth Corps, after being transferred from the Indochina Peninsula to the north, did not fight a battle, and the troops were transferred one after another. There are only seven brigades in total. Now Li Honggang is going to lose his temper after being transferred to six brigades by the teacher!"

After receiving the order from the division commander, Li Honggang was really uncomfortable. All members of the No.20 Ninth Corps were transferred to the north. They expected to win a few tough battles and fight big battles. Unexpectedly, the troops were still in the Shandong Peninsula and were transferred Take three brigades, and the remaining four brigades, according to the deployment of the Korean Peninsula Theater Command, tomorrow's fishing attack will be undertaken by our own troops. The combat order has been issued to each brigade. Now, the division commander suddenly came with such an order !

Li Honggang feels aggrieved, dare you, he is almost a bare-bones commander now, and there is only one brigade left in his hand. Maybe at some point, the division commander will be transferred again with an order, so it will be successful, put the fat body The strong southeast mobile unit doesn't need it, why did they fall in love with the No.20 Ninth Corps, no, I need to ask for an explanation!

Although Li Honggang was full of opinions and the boss was unwilling, the division commander did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He told the chief of staff, Colonel Wang Bingde: "Bingde, you immediately order the fourth, fifth and sixth brigades to act immediately. All the preparations for boarding the ship, the time limit in the commander's order is very tight, only two days, and the troops can board the ship immediately after the order to board the ship is issued!"

"However, I have to go to the theater headquarters to fight for it. See if I can get Commander Tang to come forward and convince the division commander to let our troops stay and send troops from the Southeast Mobile Corps. Ma Chaoyang fought a war on the Korean Peninsula. Half a month, I've enjoyed it too, this time, should I let it go? Chief of Staff, arrange a staff to stand by the phone, never leave, wait for my call!"

Wang Bingde felt that something was wrong, but he knew that the orders issued by the division commander had never been changed because of the objections of the subordinates. It is estimated that there would be no results if the commander went there. After a while, but seeing Li Honggang's anxious expression on his pale face, he swallowed the words when they came to his lips.

He also knew Li Honggang, and he came to the north with a mind full of big battles, but in the end, the troops were almost completely transferred. If he was not allowed to go, he would be so angry that maybe the brigade commander would be unlucky. In addition, Wang Bingde also believes that it is unfair to the No.20 Ninth Corps that the division commander did this, so it is better for the commander to ask for an explanation!

As soon as Li Honggang entered the Korean Peninsula Theater Command, Tang Qiuquan, who was explaining tasks to several staff officers, his eyes lit up, and before he could speak, he said, "Commander Li, you came just in time, and the time is tight. I have ordered the troop carrier Formation, get ready to meet the troops at Mokpo Port, call immediately and order the troops to start boarding the ship in three hours!"

"Ah!" Li Honggang's eyes widened, and Tang Qiuquan blocked his mouth full of words.
