Chapter 851: Training-oriented

The post of commander of the Huaxia Fleet of the Independent Division, which was held by Tang Qiuquan, the former head of the special operations detachment of the Independent Division, was somewhat unexpected by the generals, not that he had other distracting thoughts, but mainly worried that Qiuquan was a complete amateur to the navy, and that he would not be able to put up more than 100 warships, and that he would be very embarrassed at that time, that is, these old brothers were very concerned about Qiuquan.

Only Tang Qiuli knew that in escorting the Soviet Pacific Fleet back to the Qingdao base, in the past ten days, Brother Qiuquan changed from mentality to concept, and his amazing realization surprised him, putting aside those Soviet naval officers, Qiuquan was already the person with the deepest understanding of the navy and future naval warfare among all the generals of the independent division, even surpassing Tang Qiuli, who had the memory of later generations, which was also the reason why Tang Qiuli put such a large fleet into his hands.

The position of the head of the special operations detachment is vacant, Qiu Quan recommended Chu Tian, the captain of the ninth detachment of the special operations detachment, for Chu Tian, Tang Qiuli knows Chu Tian very well, starting from the beginning of Shandong's Baoqinggu to exterminate Liu Motou's bandits, Chu Tian's talent in commanding special operations has long been noticed in his heart, and he was already preparing to promote Chu Tian to the deputy head of the special operations detachment, this time, Qiu Quan served as the commander of the fleet, and Chu Tian was directly appointed as the head of the detachment, officially taking over Qiu Quan's position, which is also a logical thing.

At the same time, Chu Tian's military rank was also promoted from lieutenant colonel to colonel, before the decision, Tang Qiuli originally planned to let Brother Qiu Quan continue to serve as the head of the detachment, Chu Tian presided over the overall work as the deputy detachment leader, but was denied by Qiu Quan, his construction is that he served as the commander of the fleet, where is the special operations detachment, there is no time to take care of it, rather than being in name only, it is better to let it go to Chu Tian.

It is also a recognition of Chutian's authority, Tang Qiuli thinks about it, the so-called "not in his position, not in his government," with Qiuquan hanging on his head, Chutian is not easy to carry out his work, and Chutian, who is still floating with the mountain tiger on the sea, would never have thought that his position and military rank would have risen a lot in an instant.

The important and status of the special operations detachment in the independent division, and the specifications are very high, in the battle sequence of the independent division, it is an establishment with the same status as the corps, Chu Tian is younger than the detachment leader Tang Qiuquan, so he is in charge, this is impossible in other armies, when he returned from Tsushima Island, he was already the colonel of the special operations detachment of the independent division.

There is another person who was surprised, that is, Rear Admiral Manikovsky, in the former Pacific Fleet, he was not even a person in the fleet command circle, and when he arrived in China, he was not only promoted to general, but also held such an important position, to be exact, the second person in the Huaxia Fleet, and he was below Qiuquan, this kind of trust also made his face red, and his light blue eyes were unconsciously a little moist.

At the same time, Tang Qiuli read out the "Guiding Outline for the Three-Year Development Plan of the Huaxia Fleet," which he personally wrote, and its core content was that the Huaxia Fleet would not participate in any operations in the next two years, and would have only one mission, and should immerse itself in training.

At the same time, based on the Han Tie troops stationed in Shandong, from Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, two more full-fledged brigades were transferred to form the Marine Corps, which was organized into seven brigades with a total strength of 98,000 troops, the number of the Yellow River Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps was revoked, and the unit was converted into a Marine Corps, and Major General Han Tie, the former commander of the Yellow River Henan Defense Line Garrison Corps, served as the commander of the newly formed Marine Corps.

In addition, the airport in Qingdao will be immediately expanded to form a naval aviation unit, and the required aircraft will be transferred from the aviation unit, and Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the aviation unit of the independent division, will serve as the commander for the time being, which of course includes the training of aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft pilots.

Tang Qiuli put all the shelves of the navy in place, and in the end, he said to Qiuquan, Manikovsky, and Han Tie: "At present, the only task of the fleet is training, except for training, you don't need to do anything, and strive to train two more qualified officers and soldiers of the same size in two years, the burden is not light."

After the meeting of the navy was completed, Tang Qiuli deliberately left Li Honggang, commander of the 29th Corps, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Political Committee and commander of the Provincial Garrison Command, and said to Li Honggang: "Honggang, you have to be prepared, the 29th Corps will immediately replenish its strength and equipment in accordance with the standards of the field corps, and the preliminary plan is that your corps should have no less than seven field infantry brigades, three artillery brigades, and two air defense brigades, with a strength of 120,000 troops, as a strategic reserve under the division command, and be stationed on the Shandong Peninsula. Always ready to join the battlefield. ”

"As for the task of garrisoning the Shandong Peninsula undertaken by your corps, prepare to transfer Jiāo to Yuan Jinghao's corps, the Pingjin area and the Shandong Peninsula are one, and the Pingjin-Lu garrison area can be formed, and we can't trap all our troops in the various control areas," Tang Qiuli said calmly.

Li Honggang understood the division commander's approach, and the upgrading of the local garrison unit to a field corps was a qualitative change for the 29 th Corps, and the local garrison units could not be compared with the field corps in terms of weaponry alone.

There are still some thoughts, Tang Qiuli did not say to Li Honggang that after the end of the war between the Japanese and the Soviets in the Far East, they will free their hands, and Emperor Hirohito and the high-ranking generals of the Japanese army will not be willing to be lonely, and war against China will become the next choice of the Japanese, which is also the consistent ambition of the Japanese.

The pattern of the Northeast and the Far East, the Soviets, the Japanese, and the independent divisions are in a three-legged situation, and no one dares to take a shot lightly, and there will be a period of relative stability for a long time in the Northeast and North China, and the Soviets have not yet had the strength to do anything in the ancient areas of the Outer Méng, and there are three troops of Liu Tiehan, Yuan Jinghao, and Sun Zhenbang to guard the north, which can ensure that the situation is worry-free.

As for the interior of North China, let it be run by the Eighth Route Army, as long as it does not go out of line, it will be of great benefit to itself, and the future Sino-Japanese war should be launched in the southeast coast and South China, and there must be several mobile troops in their hands, the corps of Tang Qiusheng, Feng Jiwu, Li Honggang, and the corps directly under the independent division, and the four field corps, which are enough to cope with any attack by the Japanese.

In addition, Tang Qiuli also gave orders to Bai Chucai, commander of the border garrison area, and Wu Hongtao, commander of the Huangya Dòng Independent Division's training headquarters, to set up ten field brigades in each of the two places to step up training to supplement the troop loss of the field corps.

After the affairs of Qingdao were busy, it was already two days, Tang Qiuli was about to go to Chongqing, and the Stalin's envoy, Molotov, who had been in the Jiāo way, met with Molotov, the Soviets were already in a hurry, and yesterday they received two telegrams, Tang Qiuli judged according to the information sent by the Far East regional intelligence network, Timoshenko was about to lose support.

In no more than five days, the last Soviet unit in the Far East will be wiped out by the Kwantung Army, and if they don't make any more moves, the deal will be ruined, and, according to Sun Zhenbang's report, the Soviet convoy transporting oil has already reached the Sino-Soviet border area in Waiménggu.

Tang Qiuli is still quite satisfied with the actions of the Soviets, is this the attitude of asking for others, the Japanese side, there has been no movement for a long time, which is also in line with the habits of the Japanese, they can only take advantage of it, but they never want to suffer losses, take out something, and feel distressed like a dead father and mother, it seems that they have to use some means to let the Japanese obediently send over a thousand sets of oil extraction equipment and a thousand sets of jīng secret machines.

He sent a telegram to Liu Tiehan on the Jinzhou front: "Brother Tiehan, you can quietly assemble your troops and wait for my order, at that time, launch an attack on Mukden, remember, do not attack other areas, do not be detected by the Japanese army, the battle to attack Mukden must be over within two days, this battle is not about capturing the city, but about knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. ”

Liu Tiehan, who was far away on the front line of Jinzhou in the northeast Liaoxi, laughed out loud after receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yihe: "Yihe, immediately convey the order, mainly to the east refers to the 1st to 6th Brigades, with three artillery brigades, as the main attack force for attacking Fengtian, in addition, send a telegram to the division commander, please transfer a brigade of tank troops, coordinate the aviation troops, and request that no less than five brigades of aircraft be sent to participate in the battle, I want to give the little devils in Fengtian a three-dimensional attack, it seems that the division commander is determined to get the things of the little devils."

Zhao Yihe, the chief of staff of Dongzhi, also laughed, as the chief of staff who had worked by Tang Qiuli's side for the longest time, he deeply understood the style of the division commander, he did not suffer losses in the war, but also took advantage, the division commander was going to stab the little devil and make the Japanese bleed quickly, those things, the division commander was very concerned?

Tang Qiuli's strategic concept of the northeast did not conceal Liu Tiehan and Zhao Yiyihe, the Dongzhi troops were the backbone of the defense of the north, and every move involved the pattern of the north, and this army was a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Kwantung Army, so Liu Tiehan, the commander-in-chief of Liu Tiehan, and Zhao Yùhe, the chief of staff, as the supreme commander of the troops, must thoroughly understand Tang Qiuli's intentions, so that they can advance and retreat freely and be perfect, and every step is just right.

Tang Qiuli was busy with all this and was about to go to the airport, when Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, came in, "Report to the division commander, Captain Huang of the Guard Brigade, after completing the combat mission on Tsushima Island, he has returned, and the warship he is on will enter the Qingdao Naval Base in an hour, in addition, Captain Huang said in the telegram that there are no casualties in the guard brigade. ”

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, "Haha, Huzi is back and doing a good job, okay, go to the military port immediately to welcome the victorious return of the mountain tiger, see what good gifts he brought me?" ”
