Age of Rebirth

Chapter 490: It’s Cheaper Tiehan Liu

Liu Tiehan remembers the tense situation on the front line in Texas. The entire defense line is already crumbling. Every minute of delay, the troops will bear an extra pressure. He made an appointment with these division commanders and brigade commanders overnight and warmly welcomed them to join the Northeast Advance Command of the Independent Division. The ranks of the former Third Army were reorganized in accordance with the sequence of the East Pointing Troops.

Soon, the horn of an emergency meeting sounded in Jinan Airport, and the sleeping barracks erupted. Hundreds of military officers at all levels gathered from different directions. Liu Tiehan looked at Han Fuju's soldiers with piercing eyes. At this moment, all the officers under his own command read out the reorganization order aloud.

The former 82rd Division of the Third Group Army was reorganized into the Ninth Brigade of the East Finger Advance, Feng Kai was the brigade commander, the 53nd Division was reorganized into the Tenth Brigade of the East Finger Advance, Chen Guozhu was the brigade commander, and the 11rd Division was reorganized into the No.45 Brigade of the East Finger Advance. Liu Jinlong served as the brigade commander, the 12th Division was reorganized into the No. [-] Brigade of the East Finger, Liao Zhenbang was the brigade commander, the independent brigade was reorganized into the regiment directly under the East Finger, and Wang Yinshan was the head of the regiment. "Other officers were appointed according to their original positions.

After announcing the complete order, Liu Tiehan said regretfully: "Military officers, you have all been downgraded in terms of rank. This is the order of the independent division, and it is also the regulation of the National Military and Political Department. You have to be wronged. However, the current Texas war Just in time, the military uniforms, serial numbers, and weapons and equipment of the troops will be changed immediately after the war is over. The food and salary that Han Fuju lacks will be replenished immediately by the logistics department of Dongzhi. I can tell you in advance, and I hope to pass it on to everyone Soldiers, the treatment of the independent division is the best among all the troops in the government. From now on, everyone will be a member of the independent division. I hope that we will work together to expel the Japanese invaders from the country.”[

As soon as Liu Tiehan's words fell, hundreds of officers who participated in the reorganization expressed their feelings with stormy applause. From now on, we will also be a unit of the Central Military System, let alone a unit of the famous North China Independent Division. It is said that following wolves to eat meat, following dogs to eat shit, and following the North China Independent Division, without showing the prestige of our Shandong people, they also took off the infamy of being a deserter under Han Fuju's men. They are all soldiers, and they are no worse than other troops. where to go

A completely different aura rose from the venue. Once an army was injected with new vitality and spirit, it would immediately feel reborn. Although it still wore the original military uniform, in its heart, it was already recognized as a member of the independent division.

Then, a new appointment was announced, based on the regiment directly under the Dongzhi Regiment, including the Dongzhi Strengthened Battalion guarding the airport, the Jinan City Garrison Command was formed, Wang Yinshan was the commander, and Su Qi, the battalion commander of the Dongzhi Strengthened Battalion, was the deputy commander. The task is to immediately restore the order in Jinan City and stabilize the mood of the citizens.

At the same time, implement military control over Jinan City, and severely suppress and amnesty those broken soldiers and criminals who take advantage of the chaos to loot, rob citizens' property, rob public property, rape women, murder and set fire!If one of the above situations is found, the armed patrol team of the garrison headquarters can shoot immediately without asking for instructions.

When Liu Tiehan announced this order, his eyes shone coldly. The iron-blooded aura that had been on the battlefield rose instantly, and the murderous aura overflowed. These officers of the former Third Army shrank their necks. Dare to feel, our commander-in-chief , not a person to be easily messed with, and the contact time was very short. This moment left a deep impression on them, and it also gave them a new understanding of the senior commander of the independent division.

After the meeting, all the brigade commanders and regimental commanders were left behind, and a military meeting was held to discuss the specific action arrangements for the newly formed troops to go to the front line in Dezhou. Wang Yinshan, the head of the directly subordinate regiment, provided an important information. His original troops were in Jinan The Yellow River Defense Line was stationed next to the Artillery Brigade of the Third Army. When retreating, he saw those artillerymen, some driving, some riding horses, just leaving hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns behind.

I remember that I scolded these guys severely at that time, it made me feel distressed, now, everyone is scrambling to escape, how can I care about other things, those cannons must still be where they are, Liu Tiehan immediately recovered First, he has been troubled by the lack of artillery firepower of the Dongzhi troops. This time, Han Fuju sent another artillery brigade. It is really good things, especially today.

He immediately ordered Wang Yinshan's direct subordinate regiment to rush to the artillery position overnight and make sure to protect the artillery. Soldiers with experience in operating artillery can be transferred from various brigades to form the Dongzhi Artillery Brigade. Wang Yinshan is a straightforward soldier and immediately carry out the order.

After all the arrangements were made, the brigades went to prepare for tomorrow's departure. When Han Fuju's direct troops fled, they discarded a lot of weapons. Moreover, in the eastern suburbs of Jinan, there was a large arsenal, which was controlled by Feng Kai's troops. Yes, there is a battalion of troops guarding there, which is even better. The icing on the cake, all troops, according to the order of formation, change their equipment in turn.

Coming out of the meeting room, it was already around three o'clock in the morning. Liu Tiehan was dominated by excitement and didn't feel sleepy. He came to the air force station again. When he got there, he was stunned. All the pilots didn't rest. , There was a lot of discussion there. Seeing Liu Tiehan coming, these pilots gathered around.

It turned out that they were discussing where to go in the future, and escaped with Han Fuju, which would definitely not be done. Where is the reorganization of the infantry in full swing, but no one cares about it here, and they don't know what General Liu thinks?It may not be in the eyes of others, and they dislike our background, if that is the case, quickly find a way out for yourself.

Liu Tiehan apologized again and again, patronizing the busy infantry, and neglected these winged people. In the eyes of the division commander, these are all baby bumps. How can we let them go? He put the independent division in Dingbian, Shaanxi, and there is an aviation school. I have said it again, and on behalf of the independent division Dingbian Aviation School, welcome all the proud ones to join.

With a place to go, and General Liu's attitude is very sincere, these pilots became active, and they made a suggestion, can they contribute to the front line of Texas before flying to the border? The positions were bombarded wildly, and the Japanese soldiers suffered greatly when they were kept on their backs.

There is no Japanese air force in the sky in North China. Liu Tiehan knows that this battle is not dangerous at all. He also hopes to weaken the Japanese offensive through air strikes. However, this matter has to be brought up by Han Fuju’s pilots. Their proposal was exactly in line with their own thoughts, so they happily approved the pilots' request to fight. These pilots cheered and went to prepare to throw bombs on the heads of the Japanese army.

The Air Force of the Third Army has 37 aircraft of various types, and the models are quite mixed. There are all of them in that country, and the models are not uniform. Among them, there are [-] fighter jets, [-] bombers, and [-] transport aircraft. It seems that Han Fuju is also One hammer in the east and the other in the west, I bought it when I saw it was suitable, and I didn't consider the reasonable match between the models.

Facing the thin light of dawn, Liu Tiehan immediately returned to the front line of Texas. Behind him were four brigades with nearly [-] troops, who were gathering. The mood when he returned was very different from when he came. Coming over, he was full of confidence in whether he could hold the Texas line of defense.

When passing the Yellow River ferry, he was still thinking about the hundreds of large-caliber river defense guns, so he made a detour, and Wang Yinshan came all the way to meet his commander. Liu Tiehan saw a line of artillery along the bank of the Yellow River, silently squatting there, like a group of wronged children, littered with discarded gun boxes, and various instruments, it can be seen that when Han Fuju's artillery fled, he was in a panic and panic.

Liu Tiehan sighed secretly, it's a pity for these artillery, Han Fuju scraped a lot of oil and water in Shandong, and bought these belongings. With Han Fuju's strength, he can fight the Japanese army who invaded Dezhou alone. It's a pity that he has these weapons for nothing , No shot was fired, no shot was fired, not even a shadow of the Japanese was seen, the soles of his feet were oiled, and he ran away. I really don't know how he will face the Shandong elders and the Chinese people in the future.

I have to thank him, if I don’t run away, how can these big guys fall into my hands, just in case of urgent need on the front line, he ordered Wang Yinshan, in the name of the Jinan Police Command of Shandong Province, to requisition a large number of trucks in Jinan and the surrounding cities of Jinan, It was used to tow these heavy artillery, and he saw that these big guys had to be trucks, and mules and horses could do nothing. [

When Liu Tiehan rushed back to the front line of Dezhou, it happened that an attack launched by the Japanese army had just been repelled. However, the Dashan defense line, because of defending the Wan Fulin Department of the Seventh Brigade advancing there, consumed too much troops, and the first line of defense was broken by the Japanese army. , Now, all the first-line troops of the Seventh Brigade retreated to the second line of defense, and fought fiercely with the Japanese army.

Brigadier Wan called just now and asked the chief of staff to tell the commander-in-chief to ensure that the second line of defense would not be lost. Unless the little devil stepped over his corpse, the seventh brigade would fight to the last man. After dark, he was going to organize Expendables, take back the first line of defense.

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's report, Liu Tiehan pondered for a long time. This was the first forward position lost by the Dongzhi troops after several days of fierce fighting. It can be judged that the Japanese army will definitely concentrate its forces and rely on this breakthrough to storm the Seventh Brigade. The second line of defense, the seventh brigade is in a very dangerous situation, and the troops are fighting hard.

Moreover, Wan Fulin was ready to die in battle. What he asked Zhao Yuhe to tell him was a kind of determination, a determination to die, and it was not his last words. Zhao Yuhe also told him that according to the correspondent who delivered the order, he said , Brigadier Wan has always been in command on the front line, and personally led the troops to carry out many counter-assaults, and has suffered three gunshot wounds.

Before the arrival of the next four new brigades, the mountain direction of the Seventh Brigade is the most dangerous point of the Texas defense line. If this danger is not eliminated, a few days of bloody battles will be meaningless, but what can be done?

The use of troops has reached the limit, and there is no way to draw troops in that direction. Liu Tiehan pondered in front of the map, and a bold idea came to his mind, but this method is more risky.
