Chapter 1766: The Battlefield of Western Liaoning
After listening to the division commander Tang Qiuli, with a joke, Liu Tiehan was stunned for a moment, and then, laughing, pointed at Liu Cuigang and said: "Division commander, you have wronged me, our Commander Liu, I heard Le Yiqin, he fought in the south, and after beating the little devils to fight the British, the battle report came every few days, and Cuigang was greedy, and found me many times and asked to be transferred to the Southern Flight Group, even if it was to be the captain of a fighter group." β
Tang Qiuli asked with great interest, "Brother Tie Han, how did you answer?" β
Liu Tiehan said with a smile: "My answer is very simple, as long as it is approved by the division commander, I will release the person immediately, and I will not stop it, don't believe it, you ask Cuigang himself, these days, he has come to grind me again, and he wants to prepare for a large-scale air battle to kill more than half of the air power of the Kwantung Army, I didn't approve it, no, I'm angry with me!" β
Liu Cuigang smiled embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly: "Yiqin and I joined our aviation force at the same time, people are fighting vigorously in the south, I have a nest in the north for a few years, all year round, I can't get a big battle to fight, the troops are all that murderous spirit, I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid that if it goes on, the Northern Flying Group will raise a nest of sheep that won't bite the little devil!" β
Seeing the division commander and looking at himself with a strange look, Liu Cuigang hurriedly explained further, "The division commander and deputy division commander are not large-scale air battles, at best, they are air battles in which five or six fighter regiments participate, and the combat object is also the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula to ensure our air supremacy over Liaodong Bay." β
Tang Qiuli was speechless, and looked at Liu Cui for a long time, until he saw that Liu Cuigang's heart was a little hairy, and then he sighed and said: "Cui Gang, five or six fighter regiments, that's the scale of more than three hundred fighters." Coupled with the fighters of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, the scale of the air battle, the enemy and us will not have less than six hundred fighters, this is not a large-scale air battle? This is also a large-scale air battle for Le Yiqin's Southern Flight Group! β
Liu Cuigang grinned there, Liu Tiehan looked at his watch and said loudly: "Hey, patronizing and talking at the airport, the big guy hurry up and get in the car and eat first." Then the division commander rests for a while, and if he has anything to say, it is not too late to leave it for a meeting in the afternoon! β
When getting into the car, Tang Qiuli deliberately put Major General Yang Ketian, the former chief of staff of the division headquarters and the current chief of staff of the East Finger. Called to his car, the convoy drove out of the airport. Tang Qiuli asked Yang Ketian beside him. "Ketian, are you still used to being here?"
Yang Ketian thought for a moment and replied: "Division commander, I was not used to it at first, when I was in the division headquarters, there were you, Deputy Division Commander Tang and Chief of Staff. I don't need to use too much brain, the task of the staff office is to carry out your orders, too many things, the division commander. I don't need to be cΔo heart, as long as I don't complete the task out of shape, but after I arrived at Dongzhi, the situation is very different, as the chief of staff, many things, I need to make my own decisions, I feel that the burden and pressure on my shoulders are very heavy! β
Tang Qiuli didn't interject, just listened quietly, his several chiefs of staff were all transferred from the position of chief of staff of various corps, starting from the second chief of staff Chang Feng, most of them were transferred from the position of chief of staff of the division headquarters to the corps to serve as chief of staff, and then transferred back to the division headquarters, this is a process of training, such as the current division commander chief of staff Zhao Yuhe.
Yang Ketian continued: "From the beginning of the unaccustomed, to the current habit, the time is not long, Deputy Division Commander Liu is a very easy to get along with, respectable commander, during this time in the East, my vision, the ability to command the troops, the ability to deal with complex affairs, have been greatly improved, however, there is still a trembling, like walking on thin ice, thank you to the division commander for putting me in this position!" β
Yang Ketian's words were sincere from the heart, Tang Qiuli could hear it, he waved his hand lightly, stopped Yang Ketian's words, and said: "Ketian, the change of everyone's position is an opportunity, as long as you can grasp it, a bigger stage is still waiting for you!" β
Yang Ketian understood what the division commander meant, and what else to say, the convoy had already entered Liu Tiehan's headquarters.
The lunch was completely military color, simple and affordable, no luxurious restaurant, neon flashing lights, scantily clad maids, a table of pure Northeast style meals, all served in a king-sized sea bowl, the sea was long, that is, five or six dishes, mainly the roe deer beaten by Liu Tiehan, steaming, fragrant, especially the hand-handled meat with a king-size plate, the sauce-red meat pieces, shiny with oil.
As soon as Tang Qiuli entered the restaurant, his eyes were attracted by the plate of roe deer meat, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, the fragrance of the meat in his hand couldn't stop drilling into his nose, he didn't have air, he greeted everyone, he couldn't wait to sit down, first scooped up a piece of meat by hand, gobbled it up, and looked at Mei Xue around him, who was angry and funny, fortunately, he was used to her husband's occasional shocking behavior.
A meal, eating happily, most of the dishes on the table turned into clean bones, lying on the table, a considerable part of them went into the stomach of Tang Qiuli, who was full of oil and shiny, and was comfortably burping.
If you talk about eating appearance, except for Mei Xue, they are all men in the army, there is no pretense of being reserved and elegant, hypocrisy, no nutritious wine talk, clichΓ©s, sit down and go straight to the topic, Liu Tiehan was originally from the Northeast, and the chief of staff Yang Ketian and several directors of Dongzhi who sat with him grew up in the Northeast as children, but several people together, they did not eat happily and too much because Tang Qiuli ate much, which hurt Mei Xue, and kept putting meat in her husband's bowl, for fear that he would eat well, stood up, stretched out his arm, and fished out the vegetables in other people's bowls.
After eating, Meimei slept for a while, when she got up, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, out of the room, the autumn wind, blowing through the land of western Liaoning, bringing Tang Qiuli familiar breath, there is the smell of sorghum ripe, the agarwood of millet bending over, the sweetness in the cornfield, and the salty sea breeze, this is the taste of hometown, smelling it, let Tang Qiu centrifuge and be happy, and his mind is clear.
According to Tang Qiuli's instructions, Mei Xue called a large basin of cold water in the well, Tang Qiuli took off his military uniform, shirtless, in the autumn afternoon sun, happily washed up, even exhaled, so that his head was full of face and body, all of which were crystal water droplets, Mei Xue was so frightened that he quickly wiped him with a towel, while complaining: "Really, as soon as I arrived in Jinzhou, I was like a child, eating and gobbling up, at this time, I washed my face with cold water, what if I got sick?" β
Tang Qiuli smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth, bent his arms, bulging muscles, made a bodybuilder style, and said proudly: "Xue, don't worry, the food in your hometown, when you eat it happily, twist or write elegantly, it is disrespectful and hypocritical, the water in my hometown, it won't hurt me, just this basin of cold water, it's too late for me to like it, how can I get sick?" β
Mei Xue was speechless, with an expression of being defeated by her husband, she wiped the water droplets on his body, and while putting on a military uniform for him, she urged: "The car sent by Brother Liu has been waiting outside the door for a long time, you go quickly, it's not good to let Brother Liu wait for you!" β
When Tang Qiuli walked into the war room of the Dongzhi headquarters, he couldn't help but be stunned, he thought that the people who came to attend the meeting could at least reach the scale of dozens of people, and the troops under the Dongzhi alone had more than a dozen brigades, but in the war room, there were only three people, Liu Tiehan, Yang Ketian and Liu Cuigang, and the huge war room seemed very empty.
Seeing Tang Qiuli's surprise, Liu Tiehan explained: "Division commander, in view of the fact that you don't know the details of the situation in the northeast, I discussed it with Ketian and Cuigang, and first report the general situation to you, and the time for the military meeting is up to you!" β
Tang Qiuli secretly thanked Liu Tiehan for their carefulness, he had not been in charge of the Northeast for a long time, and the specific situation was quite unfamiliar, if a large-scale military conference was held immediately, it would inevitably be biased in the views on many issues, although he came from later generations, and the general historical direction would not be wrong, but the specific local and detailed issues were not much more than Liu Tiehan They knew, not to mention, he was a butterfly who came to the present world unexpectedly, so a stir, who knew that it would completely change the direction of history in that place.
Tang Qiuli nodded understandingly, and said: "Brother Tie Han, you are very thoughtful, then let's talk about the current situation in the battlefield in western Liaoning, as well as the current strength of the East Command Army, weapons and equipment, etc., I have heard abroad, your Deputy Division Commander Liu is now very rich, and the strength of the East Command is almost more than the two field corps!" β
Liu Tiehan smiled proudly and began to report, "Division commander, the current situation on the battlefield in western Liaoxi can be summed up in one sentence, it is quite dull, we and the Kwantung Army troops have been in a state of confrontation for a long time, but their respective starting points are different, we follow the strategic deployment of the division commander, we are consciously not taking the initiative to attack, waiting for the best opportunity, and the Kwantung Army's defensive troops on the front line of Jinzhou are simply not capable of launching an offensive. β
"To put it mildly, Lieutenant General Kobayashi Hideyama, commander of the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army stationed in Liaozhong, has the greatest wish to pray to their bullshit Amaterasu, my troops, not to fight Jinzhou, the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army is the only main army of the Japanese army on the front line of western Liaoning, confronting our army, under the jurisdiction of four second-class divisions, plus a number of artillery, armored troops and other auxiliary arms, just his hundreds of thousands of people, it is not enough to see."
"I once sent some troops, took the initiative to attack, and pushed the Jinzhou defense line forward by an average of more than 30 kilometers, but as a result, that bastard of Xiaolin Xiushan, he didn't even dare to let out a fart, acquiesced to the facts, not only did not take a counterattack, but also sent someone to send a letter, saying that our common enemy is the old man of the Soviet Union, which is really fucking ridiculous!"
Tang Qiuli was very interested, and urged: "Oh, Brother Tie Han, there is such a thing, you can tell me in detail!" β
