Chapter 216: The Battle of Huludao

Tang Qiuli has always had a plan, to figure out Guò's own efforts, to change the course or direction of some history, at least to make the direction of history, at the most critical moment, slightly change its original trajectory.

Although the current Northeast is not like in history, it is a stable rear base and strategic resource base of the Kwantung Army, because of its own appearance, most of the industrial and economic base of the devils in the northeast has been severely damaged, especially the military strength of the devils, which has been constantly hit hard, and it is no longer as strong as in history.

However, it did not change the Japanese government and military department's all-out attempt to invade China, these madmen coveted the land of China, they never stopped invading China, and all the people of that island country, from the emperor to the ordinary people, were completely fascinated by the rich and vast land in the shape of begonias on the other side of the Yellow Sea.

Tang Qiuli has a sense of powerlessness, no matter how hard he tries, he can't change the inevitable trend of history, and now, all kinds of signs of devils have clearly and unmistakably conveyed the message that the Sino-Japanese war is inevitable, and he can only try his best to eliminate more devils, so as to delay the time for the full-scale outbreak of the war and buy more time for China to prepare.

The Battle of Jinzhou ended successfully, and the troops and its slight cost were exchanged for an important city with an important strategic position and rich strategic resources.

Tang Qiuli's Han Tie detachment deployed on the seaside, at this time, fought with the devil's reinforcements in Huludao.

After Nanjiro received the telegram of Jinzhou's urgency, he was anxious, and his main force was transferred to the North Manchurian region by Tang Qiuli, and then, like a hunting dog, chased to the Chahar grassland, which never stopped, and the combat effectiveness of the troops dropped sharply.

In spite of this, he still could not relieve the siege of Jinzhou, and there was really no way, so he could only draw a part of his troops from the few garrisons on the Liaodong Peninsula to form a reinforcement of Jinzhou with more than 8,000 people, cross Liaodong Bay, and land on Huludao.

Later, the Japanese military circles had a lot of complaints about this reinforcement operation, with a mere 8,000 people, to relieve a city surrounded by 50,000 enemy troops, what is the chance of victory, whether to go to reinforcements to relieve the siege, or to send them to death? This is tantamount to making fun of the lives of soldiers of the Great Japanese Empire.

Nanjiro's pain, only he and his chief of staff Nishio Shuzo know, this is already the maximum strength he can come up with, hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army, looking at the gunpowder smoke at the head of Jinzhou City, but still separated by more than ten days of marching, in a hurry, no way, can't let the soldiers of the empire grow wings and fly over.

Jinzhou must be recovered, its strategic position is too important, it is the bridgehead and advance base of the Japanese Empire to march into North China, and it is also a hoarding place for strategic materials, falling into the hands of bloody Qiuli, the consequences are unimaginable, this guy never leaves a back hand in doing things, think about what happened after the fall of Xinjing, until now, the empire is still struggling to restore the economic and industrial base of Xinjing.

What's more, Jinzhou is a very sensitive area, and the loss of Jinzhou in its own hands will attract questions about its command ability within the army, and it will affect its status in the military circles.

Therefore, Nanjiro knew that the strength of more than 8,000 people would definitely be unlucky to fight against the main force of the Bloody Hand Regiment, and he only hoped that this reinforcement force could hold back the troops of the Bloody Hand Regiment for a few days and give the mobile encirclement and suppression corps enough time.

The deeper meaning is to show that my troops are attacking, there is still a war in Jinzhou, and it has not yet fallen, at this time, the side of Nanjiro politicians is vividly and vividly expressed, and it is for those people in the Tokyo base camp to see.

Of course. From the heart of his heart, he did not want this force to be unlucky, and to this end, he coordinated the Imperial Navy and Air Force, sending warships, marines, and aircraft to assist in the reinforcements.

In this way, the strength of the devil's reinforcements reached 12,000 people, six warships, and twelve aircraft, and the pressure on the Han Tie detachment increased dramatically.

Tang Qiuli hurriedly transferred Su Jingfeng's detachment and Zheng Yong's artillery detachment, rushed to Huludao to reinforce Han Tie's detachment, and personally rushed to the Huludao battlefield to command the battle.

Yuan Jinghao's detachment went to Shanhaiguan to join Tong Batu's second cavalry detachment, alerting the devils and traitors Yin Rugeng's troops who might come from eastern Hebei to reinforce them, and the two brigades of Li Honggang's detachment, which arrived at Shanhaiguan in advance, rushed to Huludao to participate in the Huludao Campaign.

This was the last battle in the northeast, and Tang Qiuli was very grateful to Nanjiro for giving him the opportunity, and when he arrived at Huludao, the battlefield was already as fierce as a volcanic eruption.

Different from Nanjiro's worries, the devils who were responsible for reinforcing Jinzhou this time were all from the Liaodong Peninsula, and in the Liaodong Peninsula area, the Bloody Hand Regiment had hardly carried out any military operations, and the devils here had never tasted the power of the Bloody Hand Regiment at all, and their impression was still stuck in the memory of the "918" incident, when only 20,000 Kwantung Army troops fought and hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army fled.

With more than 10,000 troops, as well as the cooperation of the empire's warships and aircraft, it is not a problem to conquer most of North China.

When the troops arrived at Huludao, the commander of the devil was a major general, and the commander of the Marine Corps was a navy commander, and the two of them had a dispute over the command of the troops.

In the eyes of the Imperial Navy, the army is an army composed of some uneducated farmers, and the navy is a technical branch, and it is a head above the army in terms of origin, and if you want to command the navy, there is no door

As everyone knows, the Japanese navy and the army have always been at odds, and this is reflected in the main direction of the Japanese army's strategic offensive, with the army advocating a "northward advance" to fight against the Soviet Union, occupying the Far East of the Soviet Union, and attacking the Soviet Union with Germany.

The navy advocated "southward expansion" to conquer Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia, open the sea passage to the Pacific Ocean, and provide an advance base for the imperial navy to dominate the Pacific Ocean.

Later, the Japanese Army gained the upper hand and single-handedly provoked the "918" incident in northeast China, but the conflict between the navy and the army did not stop, and in the entire Chinese battlefield, the Japanese navy did not do much to dismantle the Japanese army

This kind of conflict directly affects the officers and soldiers below, and now, the two Devil Army Rear Admiral and Navy Dazuo, like red-eyed bulls, don't want to let each other go, the two sides are in dispute, and their chiefs of staff have no choice but to report the situation to their respective superiors.

Minamijiro was well aware of the collusion between the army and the navy, but now he called back to reprimand the rear admiral who led the team, ordered him to unconditionally obey the command of the navy, and personally called a navy commander, and did his best to praise and encourage him, and a general personally called back to a navy, and he was so low-key in the telegram, which is also a miracle in Japan's military history.

Nanjiro has his abacus, as a politician-type soldier, he knows very well that no matter whether the navy or the army commands, as long as he can recover Jinzhou, the credit belongs to him Nanjiro, and the command is well, let the navy take the lead.

As soon as the telegram was delayed back and forth, several hours passed, which won time for the Han Tie detachment to calmly deploy defenses, and Tang Qiuli was able to calmly send reinforcements, and also transported the captured large-caliber heavy artillery of the devil to the seaside position.

The devil Navy Dazuo, who won the command of the battlefield, trembled with excitement, in his military career, he had never commanded so many troops, this should be the authority that only a general can have, after this battle, his dream of being a general is close at hand.

He was in the binoculars, and after repeatedly observing the landing site, he did not see any fortifications of the defenders of China, and he secretly laughed at himself, these people of China are so inferior in military quality, they don't know how to arrange anti-landing facilities on the beach, I really don't know what they think, and they dare to attack Jinzhou, it is all the incompetence of the army, which fuels the arrogance of the people of China.

He immediately ordered the first echelon to carry out the landing, and the landing was very smooth, without encountering a little resistance, and the devil Navy Dazuo, with the second echelon, also landed, and the landing troops of these two waves, all served by the marines, more than 4,000 people, unimpeded to the direction of Jinzhou.

The Major General of the Devil Army kindly reminded him not to be ambushed by the Chinese army, but he was ridiculed by him, which made His Excellency the Major General very angry, so he had to follow the order, lead the troops, and land one after another.

Tashan, is a small town without mountains, outside the town, there is only a slip of dirt, barely called the commanding heights nearby, Su Jingfeng's detachment of more than 10,000 troops, is ambushed on both sides of the road leading to Jinzhou, looking at the soldiers of the Devil Marine Corps wearing dark blue military uniforms, a stream of sewage rushed over.

According to Tang Qiuli's order, the Han Tie detachment got out of the beachhead, concealed it on both flanks, and let the troops that had landed in advance of the devils come in, in order to get rid of the threat of the warships and guns of the devils, set up positions for the heavy artillery units to create opportunities, and then concentrate firepower to annihilate the second batch of landing troops of the devils, as well as block the follow-up landing forces of the devils.

The task of ambushing the devil's early landing force was handed over to the Su Jingfeng detachment who rushed from the direction of Jinzhou, and the Su Jingfeng detachment built a large number of field fortifications and established several anti-aircraft fire points on the only road leading to Jinzhou before the devils landed, just waiting for the little devils to come and send them to death.

More than 10,000 soldiers of the Han Tie detachment, looking at the more than 4,000 people of the devil marines, from the front of the eyes, the soldiers were eager to open fire immediately, there was no order, they were in a hurry, this group of devils had not long passed, and a large number of devils landed on the beachhead, and the soldiers immediately became nervous, this time it was our turn to fight, right?

At this time, the devil warship moored on the sea slowly raised its huge gun muzzle, ready to provide fire support to the landing force at any time.
