Age of Rebirth

Chapter 750

Tang Qiuli dealt two heavy blows to the Japanese army in Northeast China and North China, and the whole country was thrown into chaos. *The army expanded to a size of about 200 million people, which is the national general mobilization order.

At the same time, he issued a secret order to the navy. In view of the unsatisfactory development trend of the empire in the north of China, the navy must make preparations for going south to Southeast Asia. The current international situation is very conducive to the expansion of the empire's military strength to Britain, the United States, etc. China's traditional sphere of influence, if necessary, it will not hesitate to fight Britain and the United States.

The war sentiment in Japan was once again instigated by an imperial edict issued by Emperor Hirohito. The conscription stations were filled with fanatical Chinese youths who joined the army. War resources were mobilized to the maximum extent. The machine turned at full power again, and it started rumbling. Emperor Hirohito didn't want to take back North China immediately, but the skeleton of the North China Dispatch Army was broken up by Tang Qiuli, and the Kwantung Army was beaten to the ground. He could only use a few One month to recover, and then have a decisive battle with Tang Qiuli.

The new commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, took a plane from the mainland to Xinjing, where the Kwantung Army headquarters is located, with complicated emotions. Although His Majesty the Emperor gave him more than two months of preparation time, he faced two major problems. It was the Kwantung Army who mobilized troops from all over the country, leaving the rear empty, so that the Anti-Union armed forces spread everywhere, attacked the Kwantung Army's scattered strongholds everywhere, captured the government officials of Manchukuo, and gradually became a prairie fire. [

The second is the Battle of Shanhaiguan, which basically wiped out the backbone of the Kwantung Army. The combat effectiveness of the newly added troops is problematic. The red beards used to wipe out the Anti-Japanese League can be used to fight against the independent division of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. Well, Kenkichi Ueda really has no idea in his heart. Although His Majesty the Emperor promised to increase the strength of the Kwantung Army to about 120 million, the quantity is not directly proportional to the quality.

As soon as Kenkichi Ueda arrived in Xinjing, he saw the report sent by the General Staff Department about the increasingly rampant Anti-Union activities in Manchuria. As of July [-], according to the statistics, there were more than [-] attacks on the garrison units of the Kwantung Army. , More than [-] imperial soldiers died in the battle, the local regime of Manchukuo was completely destroyed, and a large number of Manchurians loyal to the empire were shot. The chaotic situation in Manchuria has seriously affected the fundamental interests of the empire.

According to intelligence, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the anti-union troops have been greatly enhanced, and it has become a serious problem for the empire's rule in Manchuria. Kenkichi Ueda's head swelled a few times. The biggest enemy of the empire is the anti-union armed forces operating in the hinterland of Manchuria. As for the Tang Qiuli troops on the front lines of Chen Bing Jinzhou and Linghai, there is no sign of a large-scale military attack for the time being.

For this reason, Kenkichi Ueda sent a secret memorial to Emperor Hirohito, "His Majesty, my minister Kenkichi Ueda paid homage, the results of the secret meeting between the minister and his subordinates for many days, the key issue in Manchuria at present is to completely solve the Anti-Japanese War. The existence of armed forces, the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli is a foreign aggression, and the red beard of the Anti-Union League is an internal worry. Order, originally scheduled to launch an attack on the North China Independent Division entrenched in Jinzhou in early October this year, will definitely be delayed, please Your Majesty, please be kind and willing!"

This is actually the battle to recover Western Liaoning. The deadline was late. Emperor Hirohito sighed when he saw Kenkichi Ueda's memorial. He believed that Ueda was telling the truth. It is not enough to fight a large-scale offensive battle with Tang Qiuli's troops, pacify the situation in Manchuria, and avoid having time to drag Ueda Kenkichi back.

He commented on Kenkichi Ueda's memorial: "This proposal is approved, I hope to be sympathetic to my kindness, and to live up to my high hopes!" Kenkichi Ueda, who was granted by His Majesty the Emperor, immediately mobilized his troops and went to various parts of the Northeast to carry out the confrontation. The armed suppression mission, the Kwantung Army's soldiers suppressed the border, and the situation of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces immediately became difficult. The fighting was extremely cruel, and the severe winter of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces came ahead of schedule.

After receiving the information from the Northeast intelligence station, the special warfare detachments that went deep into the entire Northeast, after completing the scheduled tasks, followed the instructions of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and before the Kwantung Army launched a large-scale suppression campaign, they had withdrawn from the Northeast in batches and returned to North China In the area, only the detachment leader Tang Qiuquan led the Chutian detachment and another detachment, a total of more than 560 people, not only did not evacuate, but instead rushed to the Suifenhe and Dongning areas along the Sino-Soviet border in East Manchuria.

Along the way, try to hide your whereabouts as much as possible to avoid conflicts with the Kwantung Army and the Manchurian Army. His whereabouts are secretive. Tang Qiuquan is carrying out a special secret mission. He is the only one who knows about this top-secret mission in the entire eastward special forces. The specific content is Tang Qiuli's command in code words, "Spring is here, roses are blooming!"

The relative tranquility on the front line of Jinzhou in western Liaoning gave Tang Qiuli more time to calmly adjust his deployment, rectify the rear, and lay the manpower and material foundation for the next large-scale battle. It was expected and expected to happen, and it can also be said that he planned it alone.

On July 28th, Tang Qiuli issued an order to transfer Liu Tiehan's East Pointing Army, left Tianjin, and rushed to the Jinzhou defense line to replace Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Corps. In Jinzhou, in this way, on the front line of Jinzhou, there are two corps of independent divisions with [-] troops, which can maintain relative pressure on the Kwantung Army and resist the Kwantung Army's large-scale attack.

As for Liu Tiehan's East Pointing Army, most of the soldiers were former soldiers of the Northeast Army. They were transferred to Jinzhou, where they looked at their hometown and their homes. I can't, I have tears in my eyes, I can't wait to kill and go back to my hometown immediately. Once the war breaks out, there is no need to mobilize before the war. This was Tang Qiuli's deep intention of mobilizing the East Pointing troops to the front line of Jinzhou.

The defense of the Pingjin area was handed over to Yuan Jinghao’s corps for defense. In view of the small number of troops in the corps, the three divisions of the Central Army that were transferred to the front line in Tianjin were placed under the command of Yuan Jinghao to jointly undertake the defense of Pingjin. Generalissimo Jiang in Chongqing felt at ease, thinking that his plan to mix sand was going smoothly. At the same time, the garrison strength in Tianjin could reach about 15, if necessary.It can be used as a mobile force to support Liu Tiehan's troops.

Among the several commanders of the second-line corps of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli recognized Yuan Jinghao's ability very much. His performance during the garrison in Henan was enough to make the division commander admire him. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's secret order to Yuan Jinghao was, For the three divisions of the Central Army, they gradually tolerated and digested them, and finally, they were completely included in the sequence of independent divisions. Yuan Jinghao understood it by heart.

Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, the Corps directly under the Independent Division Headquarters, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and Changfeng's Taihang Mountain Field Corps gathered in the Pingjin area to rest and recuperate. No one knew that the division commander concentrated so many troops in Pingjin What is the purpose of the region?

What surprised all the senior generals of the Independent Division was that Tang Qiuli sent a large number of engineering troops to the Erlianhot area at the junction of Eastern Mongolia and Outer Mongolia to build two field airfields, and requested that they be completed by the end of August. In two months, the difficulty of this project can be imagined. Fortunately, the transportation headquarters of the independent division immediately opened the transportation line from Dingbian to Erlianhot, and the continuous supply of materials will soon guarantee the construction. Normally, propeller aircraft were used in those days, and the requirements for airport runways and infrastructure were not too strict.

Using more than 100 Japanese "Zero" fighters seized at Jinzhou Songshan Airport, the first batch of more than 260 pilots who graduated from the Dingbian Branch of the Central Aviation School of the Nationalist Government finally had the opportunity to fly into the blue sky , They were lucky. From the beginning, they were able to conduct combat flights under the leadership of veteran pilots who had experienced many air battles. Tang Qiuli's two nephews, Tang Yunfei and Tang Yunpeng, were also one of this group of pilot students. At this time, they But a full-year lad.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Independent Division to recover North China and become famous throughout the country, Tang Qiuli set up conscription offices all over the country. Groups of passionate young people entered the Independent Division. All the recruits recruited in North China were sent to Huangyadong Base for acceptance. During the half-year military training, all the recruits recruited in the south of the Yangtze River were sent to Dingbian for half-year military training. Among them, the young people with higher education levels voluntarily applied for the Dingbian Military Academy, and the admission was based on merit. The size of the college has more than doubled, making Dean Jiang Baili very busy.

At the same time, Tang Qiuli also sent a telegram to Liu Hanzhang to prepare for the establishment of a large number of colleges and universities in Dingbian, such as the School of Administrative Cadre Management, the School of Economic Cadre Management, and the School of Architecture, to reserve talents for the future. At the beginning of October this year, no less than 24 independent division reserve corps formed by brigades were formed in Dingbian. With more training, you can directly go to the battlefield. What you lack is not actual combat experience.

The independent division recruited troops all over the country, but was secretly resisted by powerful factions in various places. In the eyes of these people, Tang Qiuli was poaching their corners and getting it on his own head. He regarded the area he occupied as his own How can the local powerful factions in the territory be reconciled, and they don't want their soldiers to flow out. [

What is the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War? If he is not annexed, it is the fundamental overall situation. Tang Qiuli cannot be overwhelmed head-on, and he has filed complaints with the National Supervisory Office. For a while, the complaints flew to Chongqing in the southwest like snowflakes.
