Age of Rebirth

When he walked into the office, General Meijin was still livid with anger. In his opinion, Kushima's telegram was full of lies, panic, and confusion. How could such an officer become the commander of an army in the Kwantung Army? ?What are the subordinates of that old guy Nanjiro?

Despite being extremely angry, General Meijin did not lose his basic ability to judge, but one thing is certain: on the front line of Shuangliao, there are indeed troops of independent divisions that are blocking the No.15 Army. It will be too many, at best, [-] to [-] troops, where will the [-] to [-] troops come from?

Regarding this point, General Meijin is still very confident. His confidence comes from his understanding of the Manchurian war situation. Together, there are more than 80 million people, and on the Manchuria battlefield, the strength of the independent division is only so many. Did the 50 to 130 independent division troops in the Shuangliao area fall from the sky?

If Tang Qiuli wants to prevent the Kwantung Army from returning to Xinjing in the Ximan area, then not only should the blocking troops be deployed in Shuangliao, but also in the direction of Siping. In this way, wouldn’t it be an additional 10,000+ Independent division?

General Meijin also thought about whether Tang Qiuli's 10-strong corps went to the West Manchurian battlefield. If so, the telegram from that bastard Kushima was true. The telegram from Lieutenant General Kase, the commander of the border guards, found that a large number of independent divisions with unknown numbers appeared in the Hulun Buir Grassland in eastern Mongolia.

From the moment I saw the telegram.General Meijin intuitively affirmed that it was Tang Qiuli's most elite corps directly under it, and its purpose was to go to the Kwantung Army's northwestern Manchurian border guards.Despite such a judgment, General Meijin did not dare to order the border guards to retreat. Once the border gates in the northwestern part of Manchuria were opened and they were entrenched in the southeastern part of Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's other mighty general, Sun Zhenbang of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps The more than 30 troops of China will be like a flood.into Manchuria.

With more than 30 troops, no matter which battlefield they join, they will completely change the situation on the battlefield.Therefore, in the heart of General Meijin, the 10,000+ people of the Kwantung Army's border guards in the northwestern part of Manchuria are already dead pieces.No solution.Their destiny is to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire, and use their jade fragments to delay the southward march of the Independent Division Outer Mongolian Field Corps.

The three major groups of the Kwantung Army, one in western Liaoning, one in Ximan, and one in the northwestern border of Manchuria. General Meijin's plan is.Use the Ximan Assault Corps of the Kwantung Army that is being formed to break through the blocking line of the independent division troops on the line from Panshan to Beining.He responded to the Kwantung Army's retreat to Fengtian in the western Liaoning area, but he was very dissatisfied with the inspection situation today, and even lost his temper with Chief of Staff Matsuda.

With the rapid retreat without leaving any blocking troops, the Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area quickly retreated to Xinjing, abandoned one, and preserved two. This is already the best possible level. , General Meijin felt that the situation in Manchuria was like a broken ship with leaks everywhere, and he tried his best and exhausted his efforts to mend the holes in order to delay the sinking time of the broken ship.

Over the past few days, General Meijin's situation has not only been haggard and exhausted, but burnt-out is more appropriate. Lieutenant General Kushima's telegram added another fire to his burnt-out burnt body. The most unforgivable thing for a bastard and a stupid pig is that he hesitates, loses the will to fight, and is frightened by the tactical action of the commander of the independent division to deal with more than 3000 Kwantung Army in just two regiments Soldiers, can you attack with tens of thousands of people?Is it worth using tanks and heavy artillery?

It is very obvious that the independent divisions on the front line of Shuangliao are not strong enough to stop the troops. This kind of tactics is the only way to deter idiots like Kushima. It must be admitted that General Meijin is indeed a qualified commander. The analysis of the battle situation in Ximan and even Shuangliao was very thorough. Even the strength of Xu Tingzhi's second brigade and the tactics used by Jing Zhanqi were basically not bad.

It's a pity that Lieutenant General Kushima, the commander of the Kwantung Army's No. 15 Army, is not General Umezu. Although he can't wait to kill the idiot Kushima with a knife, he has to suppress his murderous intentions for the time being. He can't send military police at critical moments. Escort Kushima back from the battlefield?

Thinking of this, General Meijin turned his anger into a groan, and personally drafted a call back to Lieutenant General Kushima, "Jiushima-kun, this commander can tell you clearly that the blocking forces of the independent division in Shuangliao area, The troops will not exceed 2. You can safely attack boldly and break its resistance. For the empire, it is a great achievement. Then, the troops retreating in other directions are likely to follow the passage opened by you, Mr. Kushima , Quickly retreat, whether the imperial troops in the Ximan area can safely withdraw to Xinjing depends entirely on whether Kushima-kun's offensive is decisive!"

As I write this, General Meijin feels that he is very wronged. A stupid commander, hesitant and messed up, wasted a few hours of precious time in vain. I still have to comfort him and cheer him up. Damn it, General Meijin has already greeted the female relatives of Lieutenant General Jiushima's family countless times in his heart, and Yu Zi couldn't understand his hatred. In Fengtian Prison, he has already reserved a place for this bastard.

At the end of the telegram, General Umezu wrote: "Kushima-san, I will be in Fengtian, waiting for you to negotiate the good news of the Shuangliao blockade line of the independent division troops. In this way, you will be a great hero of the Imperial Kwantung Army Ximan troops, He is also a great hero who saved the Manchurian war situation. On the day when Kushima-kun returns safely, the commander-in-chief will lead all the officers of the headquarters to welcome Kushima-kun back in the suburbs of Fengtian! Please!"

In the entire telegram, there was not a single word of reprimand for Lieutenant General Kushima for delaying the fighter plane. After writing the telegram, General Meizu gave a bitter smile, pressed the bell to call in the staff, and immediately sent this telegram, which he felt disgusting to him, to Kushima lieutenant general.

The telegrams came and went, and nearly four hours passed. On the battlefield of Ximan, four hours was enough to change many things. Lang, less than two hours away, the 15th Division of the No.37 Army, which was in charge of blocking, hadn't finished digging the fortifications.

On the front line of Shuangliao, Major General Xu Tingzhi, commander of the second brigade of the Ximan Blocking Corps of the Independent Division, finally knew why the Kwantung Army did not launch an attack after receiving the report from the reconnaissance unit. Given the opportunity, the Second Brigade continued to strengthen the fortifications and improve the defense system.

After receiving the telegram from the commander-in-chief Meijin, Lieutenant General Kushima, who was like an ant on a hot pot, was as excited as the rain after a long drought. I am secretly glad that I have asked His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief for instructions, otherwise, I really don't know what to do next!

What made Lieutenant General Kushima most excited was Commander-in-Chief Meijin's judgment on the strength of the independent division's blocking force in the Shuangliao area. In addition, there are two full-staffed divisions with more than 15 people. Lieutenant General Kushima decided to devote all the troops, all artillery and three tank regiments to the Shuangliao blockade against the independent division. In the attack of the position!

After giving the order, Lieutenant General Kushima took out General Meijin's telegram and read it happily. Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to become a great hero of the Kwantung Army. It is good to be cautious!

More than 15 Kwantung Army soldiers from the two divisions of the No.5 Army began to approach Shuangliao. However, for the Kwantung Army soldiers, an all-out attack was the beginning of a disaster. According to the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, The aviation commander, Major General Liu Cuigang, transferred the bomber fleet and fighter jet fleet that had been deployed on the battlefield in western Liaoning to the airspace from Shuangliao to Siping in Ximan. After returning, the fleet filled with fuel and bombs appeared in the sky.

There are nearly a thousand fighter jets and bombers, forming four echelons, flying to the battlefield airspace, and the commander of the formation is personally served by Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Aviation Group of the Aviation Force. Le Yiqin looks down from the porthole, and the long yellow sand covers On the green grass, countless Kwantung Army soldiers were scattered on the ground, because suddenly so many planes appeared, the formation of the Kwantung Army's attacking troops began to become chaotic.

Le Yiqin gave the order with a smile: "All formations, start to attack freely, only one is required, and blow up a wall of fire on the line from Siping to Shuangliao!"

The bomber began to dive, and countless small black spots fell from the sky. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Kwantung Army, they quickly magnified into heavy bombs. On the unobstructed ground, gray-black smoke burst out. From Siping to Shuangliao, the more than [-]-kilometer-long front was filled with gunpowder smoke and smoke everywhere.

Broken shrapnel, whirling and whistling, cut into the body of the Kwantung Army soldier mercilessly, blood splashed, and a huge crater appeared, and scattered around were the remaining limbs and arms of the Kwantung Army soldier. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army had no power to fight back, and they ran helplessly on the unobstructed sandy ground, avoiding the roaring and deadly bombs and bullets.

The large-scale bombing lasted for more than 40 minutes, causing huge casualties to the Kwantung Army troops in the Ximan area, leaving a messy battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, bomb craters everywhere, and the corpses of Kwantung Army soldiers.

Jing Zhanqi has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. He made an extremely bold decision, and because of this decision, Jing Zhanqi became famous in the first battle.
