Age of Rebirth

Chapter 740 Suspicion

The sun rises, and the mist in the mountains is dispelled by thousands of rays of light, and another morning arrives in the land of western Liaoning. In the telescope, you can see that on the preset ambush position, the right wing quietly does not see a person, but the left wing sees The busy crowd couldn't help the soldiers who came down from the Liugu River. After fighting for a day, they ran for most of the night. They didn't catch their breath. They continued to build fortifications, put on camouflage, and looked at their watches. It was already morning. After seven o'clock, he wanted to send a staff officer to inquire about the progress of the left-wing troops, but he dismissed the idea. He believed in the soldiers, and also in this army, to complete the task on time.

The sound of gunfire in the direction of Suizhong became more and more intense. It stretched for more than 30 kilometers along both sides of the road from Niuxinshan to Shanhaiguan. They were all ambush areas. Such a long front may not be able to contain all the troops of the Kwantung Army going south. There were too many, and there was still no telegram from Feng Jiwu at [-] o'clock in the morning, and the reconnaissance troops sent out also reported that no Kwantung Army troops were found in the direction of Suizhong, and they moved in the direction of Shanhaiguan. The sound of gunfire made Tang Qiuli secretly anxious.

Could it be that Feng Jiwu's troops failed to get rid of the Kwantung Army's troops and were entangled in the Liugu River area?It should be in the middle of a fierce battle, why are there only sporadic gunshots, five brigades were wiped out by the Kwantung Army within two or three hours, Tang Qiuli would not believe it no matter what, but why didn't Feng Following the telegram that Wu had successfully withdrawn to Nuluerhu Mountain, Tang Qiuli felt a little flustered and confused.

After being stunned for a while, Tang Qiuli ordered the reconnaissance troops to pay close attention to the Kwantung Army's movements, so that they could approach the Kwantung Army for reconnaissance and find out the Liugu River area and the reason for the battle. If Feng Jiwu was really surrounded, he would command all The troops pressed up, and the Kwantung Army came to a deadly battle. In a head-to-head confrontation, it is not certain who will die. [

At ten o'clock in the morning, the left-wing troops reported that all preparations had been completed, and all the troops had entered the ambush position. Tang Qiuli was relieved that the ambush plan could be carried out on time, and the net was waiting. The rest was to wait patiently. At that time, the reconnaissance troops also sent back information that the gunfire along the Liugu River had completely stopped, and there was no trace of the Kwantung Army troops. Tang Qiuli wondered, what tricks are the Japanese doing?It's been a morning, and I haven't entered the direction of Shanhaiguan yet.

Could it be that they are waiting for the follow-up troops to approach?Tang Qiuli stood up suddenly, and sent an order to the Northeast Intelligence Center of the Intelligence Department. Be sure to find out whether the Eastern Army troops are related to continue to gather in the west of Liaoning, Jinzhou, and whether there are any traces of the Kwantung Army troops. The Kwantung Army's existing strength is strong enough, and reinforcements are needed?Could it be that the Japanese pushed all the Kwantung Army to the Pingjin area in the pass?This is not a good conjecture. If that is the case, what is the decisive battle in North China? It is important to run away to save your life. Let's go back to the Taihang Mountains first.

Brother Qiuquan's special warfare detachment has entered the hinterland of Northeast China for many days, and it's time to use it. He personally drafted the telegram, and the order is as follows: "The special warfare detachment leader Tang Qiuquan and all the members, the decisive battle in North China is at a critical juncture, in order to contain the Kwantung Army troops If you can't gather in the western Liaoning area, your department immediately takes action to carry out large-scale destruction in various parts of the Northeast, attacking its isolated and scattered enemies and strongholds, attacking the supply line of the Kwantung Army from Jinzhou to Xingcheng, contacting the Anti-Union Forces, In Manchuria and East Manchuria, take an active offensive to hold back the intention of the Kwantung Army to move troops into the pass, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the decisive battle in North China."

As long as Brother Qiuquan and the others fight in various parts of the Northeast, it is impossible for the Kwantung Army Command to use all its troops against itself. Moreover, if the Kwantung Army concentrates its troops from all over the country to the west of Liaoning, the garrison forces in the Northeast interior will inevitably be empty. These sitting tigers, together with the crossing dragons of the special warfare detachment, immediately spread the flames of war everywhere in the Northeast, and started a prairie fire everywhere.

If the Kwantung Army wants to extinguish the flames everywhere, it has to dismantle the concentrated forces and disperse them. The time they come and go is enough to finish the decisive battle in North China and deal with the more than 40 Japanese troops in Tianjin. On the front line of Shanhaiguan, you have the capital to fight head-on with the Kwantung Army. As for the Kwantung Army's brutal encirclement and suppression against the Allied Forces again, there is no way to do it. It's just that the situation two years later appeared in advance.

The anti-union troops can only ask for more blessings, or retreat to the Soviet Union. The special warfare detachment will not fight side by side with them. The task of lighting the fire has been completed, and the troops have already returned to North China. If they want to monopolize the northeast, there is an anti-union The existence of the army is always an obstacle and a heartache, and it is impossible to arrange their positions. It is said that they are killing people with a knife. Tang Qiuli does not think that he is so despicable and insidious. Quan, we must protect the life of General Yang Jingyu, and if possible, invite the general to enter the pass.

This is a telegram on the surface, and it is also the main task of the special warfare detachment to sneak into the Northeast. Commanders above the level of the special warfare detachment can receive it. The following telegram is a top-secret telegram. Tang Qiuli sent it himself. In the entire special operations detachment, only Tang Qiuquan could translate the telegram. The telegram only had one sentence, "Spring has arrived, and the roses are blooming." He and Tang Qiuquan knew the meaning, but others, including Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, and Feng Jiwu didn't know it.

Tang Qiuli set up an ambush circle on Niuxin Mountain, wondering why the Kwantung Army did not advance quickly. Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo in the Xingcheng headquarters was also full of suspicion and couldn't figure it out. On the front line of Liuguhe, the independent division The troops only resisted for a while. When the Kwantung Army attacked again, they found that the independent division on the west bank of the Liugu River, which had swallowed tens of thousands of imperial soldiers, had been fighting for six full days.

All the soldiers of the Kwantung Army were stunned, and all the commanders of the Kwantung Army at all levels were stunned. In the past few days, they have learned a painful lesson. The commander ordered the soldiers to strengthen the fortifications on the spot to prepare for the counterattack of the Chinese army, and repeatedly ordered them to pay attention to the artillery attacks of the Chinese army. The arrogant Kwantung Army troops of the "Flower of the Imperial Army" are nothing more than that.

The situation was quickly reported to the commander, Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo. The Lieutenant General was first taken aback, then delighted, and then surprised. He instinctively felt that there must be something wrong. Since the first attack this morning, the independent The firepower of the division's counterattack was significantly weakened, and Yano Yinsaburo felt that something was wrong.

Now I have received such a report that the more than 30 troops, in cooperation with my own sea and air firepower, fought with red eyes for six days and six nights, while the independent division unit, which refused to give up an inch of ground, was attacked by a normal attack, and the entire front line was hit. Repelling, he absolutely does not believe it, it is too easy, too easy, conspiracy, there must be a huge conspiracy in it.

Knowing that there must be a conspiracy, but what is the conspiracy? The brigade leaders, watching the commander in the room, turning back and forth like a donkey pulling a mill, frowning for a while, gnashing their teeth for a while, and smiling for a while, they all stared at him impatiently.

There is no need to hesitate. The Chinese army was repelled. After six days of bloody battles, they could not withstand the casualties and the fierce firepower of the imperial army, so they gave up their blocking position and retreated. How panicked the retreat was, the small-scale annihilation battle that took place in the No.17 Division is a good example of the problem. About one battalion of Chinese soldiers was surrounded in the Suizhong area and was wiped out on the spot after more than an hour of fighting.

Finally, one of the most senior division commanders couldn't bear it anymore. This guy turned his hair dizzy, and said sinisterly: "Remind Your Excellency, hesitating and losing opportunities are taboos for a commander. Don't forget The task assigned to us by the base camp and the general headquarters is to quickly go south and enter the customs, and go straight to Tianjin." The words were full of contempt, like an elder teaching a junior, what should you do.

Lieutenant General Yano Yinsaburo glared angrily at this old-fashioned guy, his face turned red, don't I know the mission yet?Before I opened my eyes in the morning, I received a telegram from the General Staff Headquarters of the base camp and the Kwantung Army General Headquarters, urging to quickly break through the Liuguhe defense line of the Independent Division and go south. The situation in Tianjin is critical and urgently needs reinforcements.

I also want to go to Tianjin as soon as possible, don't I think there is something wrong with my mother?The good thing came too suddenly, abnormal is abnormal, but he couldn't produce any evidence to convince these impatient generals, everything was his own guess and reasoning.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, the telegrams from the base camp and the Kwantung Army General Headquarters, and the repeated urging of the subordinate generals, coupled with the counterattack that did not wait for the independent division troops, overwhelmed Yano Yinsaburo's inner suspicion, and he finally issued an order, The whole army quickly crossed the Liugu River, along the Jinzhou-Shanhaiguan Highway, and entered the front line of Shanhaiguan. At the same time, the Kwantung Army Air Force was asked to send a large number of reconnaissance planes to scout all the movements of the independent division troops along the way.

Three 10,000+ Kwantung Army units, a large number of artillery and supplies, made the Liugu River into a mess. The Japanese forward troops finally appeared in the field of vision of the independent division scouts. After waiting for a long time, they finally did not wait in vain. "The headquarters, Headquarters, poisonous snakes are dispatched, the strength of the vanguard is about one regiment, and artillery and supplies are crossing the river," the scouts used code words to transmit the news of the Kwantung Army's dispatch back to the headquarters.

Tang Qiuli, who received the report, let out a long sigh of relief. God, the Kwantung Army finally came. "Order, all troops, enter the combat state." After he briefly gave the order, he immediately rushed to the headquarters of the main peak of Niuxin Mountain, here , overlooking the entire battlefield. [

At about five o'clock in the afternoon that day, on the east side of Niuxin Mountain, at the end of the road, dust rose into the sky. The Japanese soldiers of the brigade appeared in Tang Qiuli's telescopic lens, getting closer and closer. Tang Qiuli had a sneer on his mouth, huh , Why did the marching ranks of the Japanese army stop advancing?
