    Chapter 216: Battle of Huludao

    Tang Qiuli has always had a plan. He wants to change certain historical processes or directions through his own efforts. At least make history move towards a critical moment and slightly change its original trajectory.

    Today's Northeast, although unlike in history, is a stable rear base and strategic resource base for the Kwantung Army. Because of his own appearance, most of the industrial and economic foundations of the Japanese in the Northeast have been severely damaged, especially the military strength of the Japanese.  , constantly suffered heavy blows, and is no longer as strong as it was in history.

    However, it did not change the Japanese government and military's attempt to fully invade China. These lunatics coveted the land of China in their dreams. They never stopped invading China. All the people in that island country, from the emperor to ordinary people,  , were completely fascinated by the rich and vast land shaped like begonias on the other side of the Yellow Sea.

    Tang Qiuli had a sense of powerlessness. No matter how hard he tried, he could not change the inevitable direction of history. Now, various signs of the Japanese had clearly conveyed the message that the war between China and Japan was inevitable, and he could only do his best to eliminate it.  More Japs will delay the outbreak of war and buy more time for China to prepare.

    The Battle of Jinzhou ended successfully. The troops and their slight price were exchanged for an important city with an important strategic position and rich strategic resources.

    Tang Qiuli¡¯s Hantie detachment deployed at the seaside, at this time, fought against the Japanese reinforcements on Huludao.

    After Nanjiro received the urgent telegram from Jinzhou, he was so anxious that his main force was transferred far away to the North Manchuria area by Tang Qiuli. Then, like a hunting dog, it chased him to the Chahar Grassland and could not stop.  The combat effectiveness of the troops dropped sharply.

    Despite this, the siege of Jinzhou could not be solved. There was really no way. He could only transfer some of the troops from the few garrison troops on the Liaodong Peninsula to form a reinforcement force of more than 8,000 people to Jinzhou, across the Liaodong Bay, and in  Landing on Huludao.

    Later, the Japanese military community had many complaints about this reinforcement operation. With only 8,000 people going to rescue a city surrounded by 50,000 enemy troops, what was the chance of winning? Should they go to reinforce and rescue the siege, or would they risk their lives?  This is tantamount to making fun of the lives of Imperial Japanese soldiers.

    Only he and his chief of staff Nishio Shuzo know about Nanjiro's pain. This is already the greatest strength he can bring out. Hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops, looking at the smoke at the top of Jinzhou City, are still more than ten days away.  During the march, I was in a hurry. I had no choice but to 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 forward base for the Japanese Empire to march into North China. It is also the place where strategic materials are stored. If it falls into the hands of bloody Qiu Li, the consequences will be disastrous. This guy never does anything.  Stay behind and think about what happened after the fall of Xinjing. Up to now, the empire is still struggling to restore Xinjing's economic and industrial base.

    What's more, Jinzhou is a very sensitive area. If it falls in your own hands, it will arouse doubts about your command ability within the military and affect your status in the military. Originally, I was not prepared to succeed Muto Nobuyoshi as the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army.  , there are many objections within the empire's senior leadership, and now that Jinzhou has fallen, it can give them a reason to talk.

    Therefore, Nanjiro knew that with more than 8,000 troops, it would be extremely dangerous to fight against the main force of the Blood Hand Regiment. He only hoped that this reinforcement force could hold off the Blood Hand Regiment's troops for a few days and give them some hope.  Mobile encirclement and suppression corps to buy enough time.

    The deeper meaning is to express one's attitude. My troops are attacking. There is still a war in Jinzhou and it has not yet been captured. At this time, Nanjiro's political side is vividly displayed, and he is showing it to those in the Tokyo base camp.  of.

    certainly.  From his heart, he never wanted this force to suffer misfortune. To this end, he coordinated the imperial navy and aviation forces, dispatched warships, marines, and aircraft to assist the reinforcements in the battle.

    In this way, the strength of the Japanese reinforcements reached 12,000 men, six warships, and 12 aircraft. The pressure on the Korean Railway Detachment increased dramatically.

    Tang Qiuli urgently mobilized Su Jingfeng¡¯s detachment and Zheng Yong¡¯s artillery detachment to rush to Huludao to reinforce the Korean Railway detachment, and personally rushed to the Huludao battlefield to command the battle.

    Yuan Jinghao's detachment headed for Shanhaiguan and met up with Tong Batu's second cavalry detachment to alert the Japanese and traitor Yin Rugeng's troops who might come from Jidong for reinforcements. The two brigades of Li Honggang's detachment, which had arrived at Shanhaiguan earlier, rushed to Huludao.  , participated in the Battle of Huludao.

    This was the last battle in the Northeast. Tang Qiuli was very grateful to Nanjiro for giving him the opportunity. When he arrived at Huludao, the battlefield had become as fierce as a volcanic eruption.

    The relationship with NanjiroThe difference is that the Japs responsible for reinforcing Jinzhou this time are all from the Liaodong Peninsula. In the Liaodong Peninsula, the Bloody Hands have hardly carried out any military operations. The Japs here have never tasted the power of the Bloody Hands. They  My impression is still in the memory of the "September 18th" Incident, when a mere 20,000 Kwantung Army defeated hundreds of thousands of Northeastern Army and fled.

    With more than 10,000 troops and the cooperation of the empire's warships and aircraft, it will not be a problem to capture most of North China.

    When the troops arrived at Huludao, the Japs commander was an army major general, and the Marine Corps commander was a navy captain. The two had a dispute over the command of the troops. According to the Japs major general's opinion, my military rank is higher than yours, and my troops are higher than yours.  Many, the battlefield commander is none other than me.

    The Japanese Navy Commander doesn¡¯t think so. In the eyes of the Imperial Navy, the Army is an army composed of uneducated peasants, while the Navy is a technical branch and is superior to the Army in terms of birth. If you want to command the Navy, you have no way.

    As we all know, the Japanese Navy and Army have always been at odds. This is reflected in the main direction of the Japanese army's strategic offensive. The Army advocates "moving north" to fight the Soviet Union, occupying the Far East of the Soviet Union, and attacking the Soviet Union with Germany.

    ??The navy advocates a "southern advance" to conquer mainland China and Southeast Asia, open a sea channel to the Pacific, and provide an advance base for the Imperial Navy to dominate the Pacific.

    Later, the Japanese Army gained the upper hand and provoked the "September 18th" Incident in Northeast China. However, the conflict between the Navy and the Army did not stop. Throughout the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese Navy did many things to undermine the Japanese Army.

    This kind of conflict directly affects the officers and soldiers below. Now, the two Japs Army Major General and Navy Captain are like bulls with red eyes on their backs. They don¡¯t want to give in to each other. The two sides are arguing. Their Chief of Staff has no choice.  They had no choice but to report the situation to their respective superiors.

    Nanjiro was very aware of the dealings between the army and the navy, but now he had someone to ask for. He called back and scolded the Japanese major general who led the team, and ordered him to unconditionally obey the command of the navy. He also personally called a naval commander,  After all the praise and encouragement, a general personally called back to a colonel and kept such a low profile in the telegram. This is also a miracle in Japan's military history.

    Nanjiro has his own plan. As a politician-type soldier, he knows very well that regardless of whether the navy or the army is in command, as long as Jinzhou can be recovered, the credit will be his Nanjiro. Is the command good? Besides, it is better to let the navy take the lead.

    A few hours passed due to the delay in sending messages back and forth. This gained time for the Han Railway detachment to calmly set up defenses, and Tang Qiuli was able to calmly dispatch additional reinforcements and transport the captured Japanese large-caliber heavy artillery to the seaside.  position.

    The Japanese naval commander who won the right to command the battlefield was so excited that he was trembling with excitement. In his military career, he had never commanded so many troops. This should be the authority only a general could have. After this battle, his dream of becoming a general was fulfilled.  So close.

    After repeatedly observing the landing site through the telescope, he did not see any fortifications of the Chinese defenders. He secretly laughed at the fact that these Chinese people, with such low military quality, did not know how to arrange anti-landing facilities on the beach. I really didn¡¯t know them.  What did they think? They dared to attack Jinzhou. It was the incompetence of the army that encouraged the arrogance of the Chinese people.

    He immediately ordered the first echelon to carry out the landing. The landing went smoothly without any resistance. The Japanese Navy Commander, with the second echelon, also landed shortly after. The landing forces in these two waves were all composed of navy and land forces.  The team in charge, more than 4,000 people, advanced unimpeded towards Jinzhou.

    The Japanese Army Major General kindly reminded him not to be ambushed by the Chinese army, but he laughed at him, which made 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 row of hills, which can barely be called the commanding heights nearby. Su Jingfeng's detachment of more than 10,000 troops is ambushing on both sides of the road leading to Jinzhou, watching.  Soldiers from the Japanese Marine Corps wearing dark blue military uniforms came over like a stream of sewage.

    According to Tang Qiuli's order, the Korean Railway detachment moved away from the beachhead position, took cover on both wings, and let in the troops that the Japanese had landed in advance, in order to get rid of the threat of the Japanese warships and guns, and create opportunities for the heavy artillery troops to set up positions, and then,  Concentrate firepower to annihilate the second batch of Japanese landing troops, and block subsequent Japanese landing troops.

    The task of ambushing the Japanese's early landing troops was left to Su Jingfeng's detachment, which came from Jinzhou. Before the Japanese's landing, Su Jingfeng's detachment built a large number of field fortifications on the only road leading to Jinzhou, and  We established several anti-aircraft firepower points and waited for the little devils to come and die.

    More than 10,000 soldiers of the Korean Railway Detachment, watching more than 4,000 Japanese Marines passing by, the soldiers wanted to open fire immediately, without orders, in a hurry. Not long after this group of Japanese soldiers passed by, another large number of Japanese soldiers landed on the beach, and the soldiers immediately became nervous. This time  It's our turn to fight, right?

    At this time, the Japanese warships parked on the sea slowly raised their huge gun muzzles, ready to provide fire support to the landing troops at any time.
