Chapter 746: Suspicious

The sun rises, the light of ten thousand rays disperses the mist in the mountains, the land of western Liaoning arrives in another morning, in the telescope, you can see, on the preset ambush position, the right wing quietly does not see a single figure, but the left wing sees the busy crowd, it is difficult for the soldiers who withdrew from the Liugu River, after a day, and ran for most of the night, without breathing, then continued to build fortifications nervously, engage in camouflage, look at the watch, it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, and wanted to send a staff officer to inquire about the progress of the left wing troops, and dispelled this idea, his women soldiers, but also women this army, can complete the task on time.

The sound of artillery in the direction of Suizhong became more and more intense, along both sides of the road leading from Niuxin Mountain to Shanhaiguan, extending for more than 30 kilometers, all of which were ambush areas, such a long front may not be able to load all the southbound troops of the Kwantung Army, the Japanese army had too many troops, at more than nine o'clock in the morning, there was still no telegram from Feng Jiwu, and the reconnaissance troops sent out also reported that in the direction of Suizhong, they did not believe the troops of the Kwantung Army and marched in the direction of Shanhaiguan, but there were only sporadic gunshots in the area of Liugu River, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

Could it be that Feng Jiwu's troops failed to get rid of the Kwantung Army troops and were entangled in the area of the Liugu River? It should be in the midst of a fierce battle, why is it just sporadic gunfire, to say that the troops of five brigades were wiped out by the Kwantung Army within two or three hours, right? Talking about how Tang Qiuli couldn't be a woman, but how could there be no telegram from Feng Jiwushun to withdraw to Nuruer Tiger Mountain, Tang Qiuli's heart was a little panicked and a little chaotic.

After being stunned for a while, Tang Qiuli ordered the reconnaissance troops to pay close attention to the movements of the Kwantung Army, so that they could get close to reconnoiter and find out the area around the Liugu River, as well as the reason for the battle, if Feng Jiwu was really surrounded, he would command all the troops to press up, and the Kwantung Army would have a head-to-head confrontation, and it would not be certain who would die.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the left wing troops reported that all the preparations had been completed, and all the troops had entered the ambush position, Tang Qiuli breathed a sigh of relief, the ambush plan could be carried out on time, open the net, and the rest was to wait patiently, at this time, the reconnaissance unit also sent back information, the gunfire in the area of the Liugu River had completely stopped, and there was no trace of the Kwantung Army. It's been morning, and it hasn't advanced in the direction of Shanhaiguan.

Is it waiting for the follow-up troops to approach? Tang Qiuli stood up suddenly, and sent an order to the Northeast Intelligence Center Station of the Intelligence Department, to find out whether the troops of the Eastern Army will continue to assemble in the western part of Liaoning in the near future, in the direction of Jinzhou, whether you believe the traces of the Kwantung Army troops, shouldn't it, the existing strength of the Kwantung Army is large enough, and it still needs reinforcements? Could it be that the Japanese pressed all the Kwantung Army to the Pingjin area of Kannai? This is not how easy to guess, if you really want to be like that, how can you fight a decisive battle in North China, it is important to run away quickly to save your life, and then run back to the Taihang Mountains first.

Brother Qiuquan's special operations detachment has been in the hinterland of the northeast for many days, and it is time to use it, so he personally drafted a telegram with the following order: "Captain Tang Qiuquan of the special operations detachment and all the team members, the decisive battle in North China is at a critical juncture, in order to contain the Kwantung Army troops, right?" The French were assembled in the western Liaoning region, and your troops immediately took action to carry out large-scale sabotage in various parts of the northeast, strike at their isolated and scattered enemies and strongholds, attack the supply line of the Kwantung Army on the line from Jinzhou to Xingcheng, liaise with the anti-coalition forces, and actively take offensive in the areas of South Manchuria, North Manchuria, and East Manchuria, so as to delay the Kwantung Army's intention to transfer troops into the pass, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the decisive battle in North China. ”

As long as Brother Qiuquan and they fight in various parts of the northeast, it will be impossible for the Kwantung Army headquarters to use all its forces to deal with the fight, and the Kwantung Army will concentrate and transfer its troops from all over the country to western Liaoning, and the garrison forces in the northeast will inevitably be empty.

If the Kwantung Army wants to extinguish the flames everywhere, it has to disassemble and disperse the concentrated forces, and the time to go back and forth is enough to finish the decisive battle in North China and solve the more than 400,000 Japanese troops in Tianjin.

The anti-coalition forces can only seek more blessings for themselves, or retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union, the special operations detachment will not fight side by side with them, the task of ignition has been completed, and they have already collected their troops back to North China, and if they want to monopolize the northeast, there are anti-coalition troops to save zài, which is always an obstacle and a heart disease, right? The law placed their seats, saying that it was to kill people with a knife, Tang Qiuli didn't think that the fight was so despicable and insidious, the general trend was the same, and he had to do it as a last resort, but he still specially told Qiuquan in the telegram that he must protect the life of General Yang Jingyu, and if possible, invite the general to enter the customs.

This is a telegram on the surface, and it is also the main task of the special operations detachment to infiltrate the northeast, and the commanders above the level of the commander of the special operations detachment can receive it, the following telegram belongs to the special top secret, Tang Qiuli personally sent it, the entire special operations detachment, only Tang Qiuquan can translate the message, the message is only one sentence, "Spring has arrived, the roses are blooming", this matter is too big, it belongs to the kind of play with fire, the entire independent division unit, only Tang Qiuli and Tang Qiuquan found out the meaning, and the others, including Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiusheng, Feng Jiwu didn't find out.

Tang Qiuli laid an ambush circle under Niuxin Mountain, wondering why the Kwantung Army troops did not advance rapidly, Lieutenant General Yanno Otozaburo at the Xingcheng Command Headquarters was also full of suspicions, and he couldn't guess it with one brain, on the front line of the Liugu River, the troops of the Independent Division only resisted for a while, and when the Kwantung Army attacked again, I believe that the blocking position of the Independent Division on the west bank of the Liugu River, which had been fought for six days and devoured tens of thousands of Imperial Army soldiers, was empty, right? One person.

All the soldiers of the Kwantung Army were stunned, all the commanders of the Kwantung Army at all levels were stunned, for several days, the painful lesson, even if they were already standing on the other side's position, did not dare to rush to the depth of the attack, the commanders at all levels ordered the soldiers, strengthen the fortifications on the spot, and prepare to meet the counter-assault of the Shina army, and repeatedly strictly ordered, pay attention to the artillery attack of the Shina army, be too cautious, or be afraid, or both, the arrogant Kwantung Army troops, known as the "flower of the imperial army", are nothing more than that.

The situation was quickly reported to the commander, Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano, and His Excellency was stunned at first, then overjoyed, and then surprised, he instinctively felt that there must be something wrong here, and from the first attack this morning, the firepower of the counterattack of the independent division troops was obviously weakened a lot, and Yano Otozaburo felt that something was not right.

Now that he has received such a report, the more than 300,000 troops under the cooperation of naval and air firepower have been fighting for six days and six nights with red eyes, and the troops of the independent division, which have not given up an inch of land, have been repelled by an ordinary attack on the whole front, and he absolutely does not believe it, it is too easy, too easy, and there must be a huge conspiracy in it.

It was found that there must be a conspiracy, but what was this conspiracy, this is a difficult problem, Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano almost grabbed his hair, and he couldn't think of the root of the conspiracy, and the commanders of the divisions and brigades of the Kwantung Army who rushed to the headquarters after hearing the news looked at the commander in the room, turning back and forth like a donkey, frowning and glaring for a while, gritting his teeth for a while, and smiling for a while, all staring at him impatiently.

How can it be so hesitant, the Chinese army was repulsed, six days of bloody fighting, they could not withstand the casualties and the fierce firepower of the imperial army, gave up the blocking position and retreated, the Chinese army's six river defense line has collapsed, how hasty the retreat of the Chinese army, the small-scale annihilation battle of the 17th Division, is very telling, about one battalion of Chinese soldiers, surrounded in the area of Suizhong, after more than an hour of fighting was wiped out on the spot.

Finally, one of the most senior division commanders couldn't bear it anymore, this guy turned dizzy, and said gloomily: "Remind Your Excellency, hesitation and loss of fighter planes are a commander's taboo, don't forget that the task assigned to us by the base camp and the general headquarters is to quickly move south into the customs and approach Tianjin." The words are full of contempt, like an elder teaching the junior, what you should do.

Lieutenant General Otozaburo Yano glared angrily at this guy who relied on the old and sold the old, his face turned red, didn't I find the mission? Before he opened his eyes in the morning, he received a telegram from the General Staff of the base camp and the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, urging him to quickly break through the defense line of the Liugu River of the Independent Division and move south, the situation in Tianjin was critical, and reinforcements were urgently needed.

I also want to get to Tianjin as soon as possible, don't I think there's a problem? The good thing came too suddenly, and the abnormality was abnormal, but he couldn't come up with any evidence to convince these impatient generals, and every one was speculation and reasoning.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the telegram order from the base camp and the general headquarters of the Kwantung Army, the repeated urging of the subordinate generals, coupled with the counter-assault of the independent division troops without waiting, overwhelmed the suspicion in Yano's heart, and he finally issued an order, and the whole army quickly crossed the Liugu River, along the Jinzhou-Shanhaiguan road, and advanced to the Shanhaiguan line.

More than 300,000 Kwantung Army troops, a large number of artillery and baggage, made the Liugu River a miasma, and the Japanese forward troops finally appeared in the field of vision of the scouts of the independent division, and after waiting for most of the day, they finally did not wait in vain, "The command, the headquarters, the vipers are dispatched, the avant-garde strength is about one wing, and the artillery and baggage 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 breath, God, the Kwantung Army is finally here, "Order, all troops, enter the combat state," After he gave a brief order, he immediately rushed to the headquarters of the main peak of Niuxin Mountain, where you can overlook the entire battlefield.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, on the east side of Niuxin Mountain, at the end of the road, the dust rose to the sky, and the Japanese soldiers of the brigade appeared in Tang Qiuli's telescopic lens, getting closer and closer, Tang Qiuli put a sneer on the corner of his mouth, hey, why did the Japanese army's marching column stop advancing?
