Age of Rebirth

In all fairness, the commander Tang Qiuli's order to protect the cities in the Northeast did not hesitate to use the Intelligence Department and the Investigation Department. The hidden intelligence and secret service systems in various parts of the Northeast have suffered a bit, just as Shen Jun, the Director of the Investigation Department, said. As stated, even after the recovery of the Northeast, certain branches have to remain secret for a long time. The industry that two people work in requires that the opponent never know the details.

Yu Deshui, the director of the intelligence department, and Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, got together and objected to the division commander's order for the first time. Shen Jun wanted to send a telegram to the division commander to explain his special situation with Yu Deshui. Deshui thinks that it may not have any effect.

Seeing that Shen Jun was in a hurry, Yu Deshui still said calmly: "What's the use of being anxious? My idea is to carry out the orders of the division commander, but there must be some reservations. It's not that the undisclosed organizations do not participate in the defense of the northeast city." Combat, but a change of method, still in the dark, providing information to the special operations detachment as much as possible, what do you think?"

"It's feasible, it's absolutely feasible!" Shen Jun nodded again and again, "But man, the two of us have to form an offensive and defensive alliance. There is no way to spread the word on this matter. If the teacher knows, the two of us will execute orders at a discount, and we will definitely not be able to bear it." Go around!"

Yu Deshui glared at Shen Jun angrily, "I haven't found out about your mother-in-law before, I'm not saying that I won't follow the teacher's order, but just change the way, of course, it's best not to let the teacher know, by the way, Contact Captain Chu, he is our boss now!"

Shen Jun looked at Yu Deshui in admiration, and said very sincerely: "Brother, I have known you for several years. In the independent division, no one is closer than us, but I still feel that I can't see through it." You, just this one trick, I admire you! I admire you from all sides!"

Long wind in August.Blowing across the desert wilderness on the lush land of Ximan, the sunset is like blood, the interim supreme commander of the Kwantung Army of Ximan, Lieutenant General Tosakaga, the commander of the third army, stands on a high hill, looking at the first man under his command Soldiers of the three armies.Walking silently, under the reflection of the sunset, the soldiers' helmets reflected a dark red luster, flowing like a piece of bright red blood on the green field.

Follow the orders of Commander-in-Chief Minamijiro.The breakout forces in the Ximan area, mainly the Third Army, tore open the encirclement in the south of the Independent Division. From the bottom of his heart, Lieutenant General Tosa did not think that the plan to break out of the encirclement ordered by the headquarters could be successful.

Kwantung Army units in the Independent Division against the Ximan area.Before the encirclement was formed, several breakout operations were carried out, all of which ended in failure. More than ten days later, the encirclement of the independent division has been completely closed, and the Kwantung Army will not be given any chance to break through, and it will break through horizontally.In the eyes of Lieutenant General Tosa, it was an adventure with no chance of winning. Therefore, the Third Army may become the first unit of the Kwantung Army in the Ximan area to be wiped out.

From the current encirclement, break out in the direction of western Liaoning. Even with the favor of God Amaterasu, the breakout was successful.The road ahead is still full of hardships. The damn mountainous area in western Manchuria and the vertical and horizontal rivers will all become obstacles for the Kwantung Army to move closer to the west of Liaoning.After the successful breakout, the Independent Division will not allow more than 40 Kwantung Army soldiers to go south. Maybe Qilaotu Mountain and Nuluerhu Mountain will bury all the Kwantung Army soldiers?

Lieutenant General Tosa is pessimistic. The reason for his pessimism stems from the current situation of the Kwantung Army. Taking his own Third Army as an example, all the supplies, although the army’s logistics department is careful, can only give soldiers two rare meals a day. The porridge is the same as the people, but there is no external supply, and the food is empty, and the supply has been cut off a week ago.

Thank you for the land in Manchuria in August. Most of the crops in the field are half-ripe. Relying on these half-ripe crops, the soldiers did not starve to death. All the edible things in the encirclement were wiped out by the hungry soldiers. More than 40 Soldiers, squeezed within a radius of no more than two hundred kilometers, I am afraid they have eaten up all the grass roots?

If it continues, more than 40 soldiers may starve to death. Lieutenant General Tosa discussed with several other army commanders. If there is no order from the headquarters, they can only break through desperately. It is better than starving to death in the wilderness of Ximan , The direction they agreed to break out of is still the line from Siping to Shuangliao, moving closer to Xinjing. Even if all the troops are exhausted, they must break out.

The order from the headquarters came, but it was an order to break through the encirclement to the south, pass hundreds of kilometers of mountainous areas, and move closer to the west of Liaoning. The order from the headquarters must be carried out. Several army commanders took the order and studied it for a long time. There was no objection, which made sense. Simple, instead of starving to death or being annihilated in the encirclement of the Ximan Independent Division, it is better to take a risk, it is better than sitting still!

Lieutenant General Tosa did not doubt the correctness of Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro's order, but he did not have the slightest confidence in the breakout operation. The queue passing by, the soldiers' vain footsteps, and slow movements all told themselves that this was an army. Already lost fighting spirit and will, the exhausted division under the shroud of hunger!

Lieutenant General Tosa looked at the western sky, the fading sunset, the twilight field, sighed, and the chief of staff beside him persuaded: "Your Excellency, Commander, you don't have to worry too much, maybe this is a way out, the commander-in-chief is not Did you send a telegram to tell us that the Seventh Army in western Liaoning is going north to meet us, let's go, the troops have already set off!"

"Maybe it's a way out?" Lieutenant General Tosa smiled wryly, and entrusted the fate of more than 40 soldiers on "maybe". Inside, I smelled a strong smell of blood!

In the depths of the Nuluerhu Mountain Range, this place is more than 70 kilometers away from the original encirclement. The six brigades of the southern front troops of the Ximan Theater Command were ordered to retreat and build a blocking line in the mountainous area. The staff of the North China Field Corps Colonel Han Guangqi, the commander, rushed here under the orders of Commander Sun Zhenbang and Deputy Commander Yuan Jinghao to command the troops on the southern front. He set up his headquarters on the highest mountain.

Han Guangqi rushed to the blocking line and immediately held a military meeting. A colonel presided over the meeting, and six major generals and brigade commanders listened attentively below. He is the chief of staff of the North China Field Corps, and now he is also the chief of staff of the Ximan Theater Command. In terms of positions, he is a bit higher than the brigade commanders present here.

Han Guangqi didn't talk nonsense, "When we arrived, the two commanders specially ordered that the troops on the southern line of the encirclement be retreated to Qilaotu Mountain Range and Nuluerhu Mountain Range. Here, more than 40 Kwantung Army troops heading west to break out of the siege will be blocked in the mountains, creating favorable conditions for the general offensive troops to wipe out the enemy in the mountains!"

"The terrain conditions are extremely favorable to us. As long as we block a few major mountain passes, even if the Kwantung Army takes a lot of people, don't even think about it. The two commanders, Sun and Yuan, have also adjusted the deployment of troops accordingly. It is very tight in our blocking position." When the time comes, the troops on the left and right flanks will catch up and come for reinforcements, so brigade commanders can fight boldly with confidence, and in addition, the aviation unit will block our troops and provide round-the-clock air fire support!"

"The specific blocking plan has been issued by the theater headquarters to all brigades, and it is enough to implement it. Everyone, do you have any specific difficulties? Bring it up immediately, and I will report to the headquarters immediately. There is still time!"

"Chief of Staff Han, there is no difficulty. We just need to ensure that the shells of our artillery can't be interrupted. Given the terrain conditions here, a heavy artillery regiment can block all the little devils all the way. We can count on the artillery to fight. Enough!"

"That is, there is a long ditch with mountains on both sides that are not suitable for passing. The little devil can only walk a few ways. Wherever a heavy artillery regiment is stuck, the artillery fire covers all directions. The little devil is looking for death. After fighting , I don’t even need infantry to take action!” Several brigade commanders said half-jokingly.

This is the truth, how can there be any difficulties, Ximan's troops participating in the war have been resting on the battlefield for four or five days, and the soldiers have rested mentally and physically, and they are all in a state of vitality. The Ministry of Defense inquired about when the general offensive will start. The troops' enthusiasm for war is unprecedentedly high. The Joint Service Department in the rear of Peiping has fully replenished the troops with ammunition and supplies for half a month. All troops are gearing up from top to bottom, waiting The little devil came to die,

The military meeting ended very shortly, and the brigade commanders rushed back to their defense areas. Major General Wang Qingshan, the brigade commander of the First Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Defense Army, went directly to the first regiment's position. He held up the binoculars, Taking advantage of the time when the sky was not yet completely dark, he looked at the group of formations carefully, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the guards to call over to the group leader, Colonel Hasbagen.

Wang Qingshan looked at this strong and strong Mongolian man, and said loudly: "Hass, you also fought against the old Maozi soldiers in Outer Mongolia. Blocking battles are not only about defense, but also need to use unique tactics!"

Hasbagen blinked his eyes and asked in slightly blunt Chinese: "Brigade Commander, we occupy a favorable terrain, the defense is deep enough, and there is artillery support from the rear. We just wait for the Kwantung Army to come and die. What kind of tricks are you using?"

Wang Qingshan hated iron and said: "You, you are a dead brain. The second Outer Mongolian War, in the north of Kulun, Seleng across the south bank of the river, blocked the old Maozi's troops. How did our brigade fight?"

Hasbagen slapped his head and suddenly realized, "Brigadier, I understand, let's make arrangements immediately!"

Wang Qingshan put his hands behind his back in satisfaction, and said: "Hey! I finally got the hang of it. Landmines are effective in mountain blockade warfare and mountain defense warfare. Lay landmines on the path that the little devil must pass, but pay attention, the density cannot If it’s too big, the minefield has to go out of the front of your regiment’s position, at least ten kilometers, and wait for the little devil to wade through the minefield, run over in somersault style, and then greet you with cannonballs, tell me, what is the effect of that?”
