Age of Rebirth

After reaching this conclusion, Han Tie and Wang Dongshan were so excited that they almost danced. If it weren't for the fact that there were dozens of staff officers and female radio operators in the headquarters, Han Tie would have never thought that a match that was doomed A blocking battle with a lot of casualties will become like this.

The Northern Combat Group of the Liaodong Peninsula is formed by three corps, based on the Marine Corps, including three brigades of the Southeast Mobile Corps, six brigades of the No.20 Ninth Corps, except for the five brigades brought by Jing Zhanqi In addition, the remaining eleven brigades were all concentrated on the line from Panshan to Beining in western Liaoning, and blocked the retreat of more than 40 Kwantung Army troops from western Liaoning. .

Han Tie knew that this blocking battle would definitely keep more than 40 Kwantung Army soldiers on the land of western Liaoning, but the casualties of the troops may be an unacceptable number. , Mentally prepared for more than half of the troops casualties.

In just one day of fierce fighting, the troops suffered more than 40 casualties, which is enough to prove this point. However, everything has changed now. The Kwantung Army's on-the-spot defense is a good thing that I can't wait for. Taking this opportunity, the troops can continue to build and consolidate The fortifications, together with the Feng Jiwu Corps, which chased down from the Daling River, encircled more than [-] Kwantung Army troops on the Liaoxi battlefield. The Kwantung Army continued to attack, which was not good for itself.

What Han Tie is most afraid of now is the confrontation. With the air supply of the aviation transport unit, the land logistics supply line from Andong and Yingkou to the battlefield will take an extra ten days and a half months.Nothing happened, on the contrary, the Kwantung Army soldiers in the encirclement.But when the supply is cut off, they can only consume the ammunition and supplies they carry with them. For more than 40 people, can the ammunition and supplies they carry with them last for a few days?

I am afraid that after seven or eight days, more than 40 little devils will not even have the strength to hold a gun.How could Han Tie not be ecstatic, Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan grinned happily, and suggested: "Commander, this is great news. The commander of the Kwantung Army has made a foolish move. It is a way to die. . Report it to the teacher?"

Han Tie thought about it.Shaking his head, he said: "No! We are only making a preliminary judgment now. Maybe the little devil is recharging his energy, and he may go crazy tomorrow. Wait and see, if the little devil doesn't attack all day tomorrow, it will prove that The accuracy of our information, it will not be too late to report to the teacher!"

Han Tie was careful.He also ordered Wang Dongshan: "Order the offensive brigade on the front line of Beining to send reconnaissance troops. Go deep into the mountainous area of ​​northern Liaoning to conduct reconnaissance, especially the traffic arteries leading to Fengtian in the Fuxin area and the bridges on the river. Don't be afraid to waste your time." , we must find out the situation!"

Wang Dongshan's brain reacted quite quickly, "Commander, are you worried that the Kwantung Army can't move our blocking line, so you want to bypass it, go north to Yixian, Fuxin, and then turn around to the northern route of Fengtian? Impossible, more than [-] kilometers away, it is still a mountainous area, there is a lot of rain in summer, just those few rivers with swollen water can drag them to death, I don't think the commander of the Kwantung Army will be so stupid!"

However, Han Tie shook his head and said: "The south is Liaodong Bay, the little devil must not jump into the sea, only the North Road is possible, if you are in a hurry, you can think of any tricks, we have to guard against it." With the help of the little devil, in the order to the scouts, one point must be emphasized. The focus of the reconnaissance is mainly in the direction of Yixian and Fuxin. If the little devil is found to be moving to the mountainous area of ​​northern Liaoning, report it directly to the headquarters, hum! If the little devil really dares to do this, he will die even faster!"

The eastern sky was faintly bright white. Han Tie walked out of the headquarters, took a breath of air that smelled of gunpowder, and looked towards the direction of Daling River. There was a faint sound of artillery, "It seems that Feng Jiwu The Corps' attack on the Kwantung Army didn't stop overnight, but Feng Jiwu's attacks were ruthless enough to keep the little devils from stopping even at night!" He thought to himself.

Contrary to Han Tie's evaluation, Major General Feng Jiwu, the commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, didn't think so. After receiving the order from the division to advance steadily and gradually compress the battlefield space of the Kwantung Army, his feeling was that although it was safe, he should take advantage of the chaos to annihilate The number of enemies will be greatly reduced. As far as the armored assault group commanded by Battelle is concerned, if there is no order from the division commander, at least one division of the Kwantung Army can be captured overnight, and the follow-up troops will arrive And can be surrounded and eaten.

Now, the style of play has changed, from a quick assault to a one-line flat push, and a steady and steady fight. Battelle, who was stopped, has no opinion on this. When they arrived at the headquarters of the Corps, the tone was almost the same, "I'm looking for the commander! What's going on? Our brigade is in the middle of a fight. Seeing that we will catch nearly ten thousand little devils after another hour of chasing, but suddenly shouted Stopped, did the Corps give the wrong order?"

Faced with the puzzlement of more than a dozen brigade commanders, Feng Jiwu told Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng, "Answer them, don't talk nonsense, and carry out the order. This is the commander's intention! Hold your opinions in your stomach!"

Zhang Hansheng put down the phone and said with a smile: "Commander, don't say that the brigade commanders below don't understand, even I don't feel well, what a chance to wipe out the enemy!"

Feng Jiwu said: "I understand the intention of the division commander. If our attack is too violent, it will inevitably force more than 40 Kwantung Army troops to break through in the direction of Fengtian. The pressure will be placed on Han Tie. With a force of 20 people, stopping more than 40 Kwantung Army is already a difficult task, and it is a long-distance march of hundreds of kilometers, and it is not easy to go into battle without breathing evenly!"

"Moreover, the more than 40 Kwantung Army troops in the western Liaoning area were encircled here. It is a big piece of fat, but it is difficult to swallow it in one bite. The trapped beast is still fighting. I am afraid that the casualties we will pay will not be small. Slowly simmer and gradually consume , Annihilating them in one fell swoop, the division commander's intention is to win the final victory in the Liaoxi campaign at the lowest cost!"

The two were talking, and Battelle, covered in dust, walked into the headquarters. Feng Jiwu looked at Battelle, laughed, and jokingly said: "Commander Ba, your armored assault group was very successful in the one-night attack." Shengshuiqi, one of my corps is following you as a reserve team, why, being stopped suddenly, I feel uncomfortable?"

Battelle picked up a glass of water on the table, drank it down, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Commander Feng, your order to stop came just in time. My tank must be refueled. Besides, continue to assault, but I crashed into hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Kwantung Army, and when the time comes, I will be surrounded!"

Feng Jiwu said to a staff officer: "Go tell the cooking team to get some hot food! Put more meat!" Then he said to Battelle: "You came just in time, this is the order of the teacher, let's study it !"

The first light of dawn, through the window, shone on the face of Tang Qiuli, who was lying in his clothes. He woke up immediately, got out of bed, looked at his watch, and slept for more than three hours. However, he was in good spirits , did a few stretches, moved his muscles and bones, and felt refreshed all over. When he came to the outer room, Mei Ting just came in with breakfast.

"Sister Ting, how do you know I'm awake? Did you prepare breakfast in advance?" Tang Qiuli asked with a smile, admiring his wife's graceful demeanor.

Mei Ting put the tray of breakfast on the table, first twisted a wet towel for him, and then said: "I told Te Wei, if there is any movement in your room, please tell me immediately, breakfast will be ready early." It's hot in the pot, eat it quickly, it will be cold again in a while!"

As he said that, he handed over a bowl of millet porridge. While drinking the pure natural millet porridge sweetly, Tang Qiuli asked, "Where are Xiaoxue and Xinlan?"

"I haven't woken up yet. Last night, too many telegrams were sent. I was busy for most of the night. I went to bed first and got up early to serve you, the master! You are blessed, and the three of us take turns to serve you!" Mei Ting joked with a smile.

Tang Qiuli was just about to ask for some cheap words. The division pointed out that the chief of staff, Ge Zhenzhuang, came in, first said hello to Mei Ting, and then said to Tang Qiuli: "Master, I received a call from Commander Yuan, and the North China Field Corps The reconnaissance team discovered that the Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side began to retreat, and at an extremely fast speed, it is puzzling that no blocking troops were left behind, and Commander Yuan asked whether the troops should launch an attack immediately!"

"Run!" This was Tang Qiuli's first reaction, "Where is the Ximan blocking corps of Jingzhan Banner now?" He didn't answer Ge Zhenzhuang's words, but asked another question.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "The Ximan Blocking Corps has already reached the Xifeng area, and it will reach the Siping to Shuangliao line in about seven hours!"

"Where is the current position of the directly subordinate corps?" He asked again.

Ge Zhenzhuang replied: "Three hours ago, Chief of Staff Zhao sent a telegram that the Corps directly under it had arrived in the area of ​​Uragai Gol, and it would take about five hours for the troops to deploy and attack the border guards of the Kwantung Army! "

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli shouted happily, "Director Ge, order Yuan Jinghao and the North China Field Corps to immediately launch a full-line attack on the Kwantung Army troops in Ximan, and tell him that the attack must be fierce and the penetration speed must be fast." , use all five tank brigades to attack frontally, and disrupt the deployment and retreat rhythm of the Kwantung Army before the Kwantung Army troops reach the front line from Siping to Shuangliao. There are too many air force fleets for air reinforcements, everything depends on him!"

After Ge Zhenzhuang repeated the teacher's order, he walked away quickly. Tang Qiuli drank millet porridge with a big appetite, and kept praising Mei Ting's craftsmanship. Mei Ting asked strangely: "The battle has begun, why don't you go?" The headquarters is in command?"
