Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Yuhe got a little excited when he said that for a long time, when he worked next to his teacher, he rarely expressed his opinions frankly on such the biggest issue. It was not because the teacher refused to accept it, but because he was impressed by his ability and could not accept it.  The chief of staff will make more suggestions than the division commander, refine and improve them based on the division commander's tone, and be responsible for supervising the implementation. This is the responsibility of the chief of staff.

    Tonight, after reading the telegram from Ma Chaoyang and the Crossing Battle Command, Zhao Yuhe had a strong impulse to find the division commander and explain his opinions on the new plan of the Southeast Mobile Corps Mokpo Campaign before coming.  , I also hesitated, worrying that my ability was not enough and my perspective on overall issues was limited, which affected the division commander's correct decision-making.

    While hesitating, he sent a telegram. It happened to be that the division commander was asking for his opinion. The timing was good, so he took advantage of the situation and said everything he thought about, "Teacher Commander, this is my personal analysis. Regardless of the  No matter what, I hope it will not affect your decision-making, sir!" Zhao Yuhe ended his long speech, feeling thirsty, and hurriedly grabbed the tea cup on the table, only to find that all the water in the cup had been drank by him.  .

    Tang Qiuli picked up the thermos, smiled, filled the cup with water, and said, "The water is too hot, so don't drink it yet!"

    "Yuhe, what you just said has solved a lot of hesitations in my heart. Maybe this is called bystander clarity. It's good. You have the ability to think independently and can jump out of my circle and stand at a broader perspective.  , I am very pleased to analyze the problem. I have always emphasized that chiefs of staff at all levels should not be the mouthpiece or echo of the military chief, but should have their own independent opinions. I am very happy that you have done this!"  Tang Qiuli said sincerely.

    Zhao Yuhe was embarrassed and said: "Teacher, please don't praise me. It is in front of you that I will speak my mind without any scruples. Again, don't be affected by what I just said.  to your decision!¡±

    Tang Qiuli returned to his seat and said calmly: "Yuhe. Call Ma Chaoyang right away. The commander has agreed to his new Mopu battle plan, but it will be delayed for two or three days before it can be implemented!"

    Zhao Yuhe finished recording the contents of the telegram, but was confused by the teacher's words.  "Division Commander, why is this? The Southeast Mobile Corps has the capabilities and conditions to start implementing the new combat plan immediately!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Allow some time for the 29th Corps to be transferred north. In addition, the two heavy artillery brigades and two tank brigades shipped from Qingdao are still floating on the sea, aren't they?  Ma Chaoyang, fleet commander, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, please coordinate and set aside time!"

    Zhao Yuhe suddenly realized that he was still impatient, "Give an order to Li Honggang, commander of the 29th Corps in the Indochina Peninsula. Your troops will be fully equipped. Starting from June 25, they will immediately be transferred north to join Mokpo on the Korean Peninsula."  The battlefield. The time to arrive at the battlefield must be no later than six o'clock in the evening on June 30th!"

    Zhao Yuhe felt that for the 29th Corps, time was too tight, five days.  It would be a busy march to reach Shandong from Indochina. It would take a day at the fastest to take a boat from Qingdao port to Mokpo on the Korean Peninsula. However, he looked at the division commander and made no objection.

    Tang Qiuli thought for a moment and then said: "Order, Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the Crossing Battle Command, immediately rushed to the Korean Peninsula to form the Korean Peninsula Theater Command. Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan served as the commander-in-chief and had full authority to command all sea, air and ground forces in the theater.  , the troops under its jurisdiction are the Ma Chaoyang Department of the Southeast Mobile Corps, the Li Honggang Department of the 29th Corps, the escort fleet, the Le Yiqin Department of the Aviation Corps, and the Liu Cuigang Department! "

    "From the time the telegram was sent, the designation of the independent division's sea-crossing campaign headquarters was revoked, and the command of the Marine Corps-Korea Railway Department in the Liaodong Peninsula was transferred to the division. This order was issued to the headquarters of all participating troops!"

    Tang Qiuli's adjustment of the command structure in this way actually divided the Korean Peninsula battlefield as a separate war zone and gave it to Tang Qiuquan to have full command. In other words, he had decided to fight a long-term attrition battle with the Japanese army in Mokpo.  In order to fight, a heavyweight commander was sent to facilitate the coordination of various units and unify the command authority. Ma Chaoyang obviously did not have this weight and qualifications, but Tang Qiuquan had no problem at all.

    After Zhao Yuhe repeated the contents of the telegram, and just as he was about to go out to give the order, the door was knocked again, "Come in!" Tang Qiuli shouted.

    The division pointed to Colonel Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Division, who opened the door and came in. He stood at attention and said: "Commander, we have received an urgent call from the Intelligence Division!"

    "Yuhe, don't leave now. Please listen to what information the Intelligence Department has sent!" He said to Zhao Yuhe, "Director Chen, read the contents of the telegram!" He then said to Chen Feng  said.

    Chen Feng read: "Master pointed out that our intelligence office has intelligence stations all over the Southwest Pacific. In the past two days,??, the following information has been obtained. Starting from June 23, Japanese troops stationed in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Luzon, and Java began to be transferred back to Japan. So far, about four  A Japanese first-class division left the above-mentioned places. The specific reason is unknown!  "

    "The designations are: the 131st Division of the Japan Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force stationed on Luzon Island, the 133rd Division stationed on Luzon Island, the 97th Division stationed on Sumatra Island, and the 133rd Division stationed on Java Island.  The 101st Division. In addition, according to information obtained from other channels, the Japanese troops on the Southwest Pacific Islands have returned to the country this time, reaching the scale of seven first-class divisions. However, the specific reasons are unknown. Our various intelligence stations  , we are working hard to obtain it!¡±

    Tang Qiuli was stunned, and Zhao Yuhe was also stunned. Although the intelligence did not explain, this time the Japanese army mobilized up to seven first-class divisions from the garrison forces on the islands in the southwest Pacific and returned to the mainland.  what reason?

    But one situation is very clear. The Japanese army's seven first-class divisions have a total strength of more than 200,000. Such a heavy troop group, the Japanese base camp, is to be used in a certain campaign direction, but then  In the future, the Japanese defense forces on the above-mentioned islands will be weakened to a certain extent. Are the Japanese not worried at all about the independent divisions with more than one million troops on the Indochina Peninsula just around the corner?

    Does not using the main force of Japan¡¯s Southwest Pacific Expeditionary Force on the Australian battlefield mean that the Japanese have plans to abandon the above-mentioned areas?  What an unexpected situation!

    Tang Qiuli pondered, the Japanese would never put more than 200,000 troops on the mainland, so they just want to invest in two directions, one is the Northeast battlefield to reinforce the Kwantung Army, and the other is the Korean Peninsula battlefield to reinforce  Japan and Korea are stationing troops, but it is not yet certain in which direction the focus is.

    Hirohito's transfer of troops from the south to the north also illustrates a problem. Japan's domestic troops are facing depletion and can only demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall. For himself, this is a rare opportunity and does not require too many troops.  In the Indochina Peninsula, the Sulu Mobile Corps and the Songhu Garrison Corps are enough. Taking advantage of the empty Japanese military strength, sending troops to capture the above-mentioned islands, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

    Fighting on both the north and south fronts would not be too stressful, but Tang Qiuli considered the actual problems in the Southwest Pacific. On the Australian battlefield, the Allied forces had not been completely wiped out by the Japanese army, and the opportunity to send troops to the islands in the Southwest Pacific had not yet been reached.  Mature, once launched in advance, if the Japanese base camp mobilizes the main force of the Japanese army on the Australian battlefield, and turns around to fight with itself, the Allied forces, overwhelmed by the Japanese army, take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, but it is not certain who will win on the Australian battlefield.  question.

    Similarly, it conflicts with its own Southwest Pacific strategy. On the Australian battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, the Japanese army completely wiped out the main Allied force and swept across the Southwest Pacific. Then, the independent division sent heavy troops to attack the exhausted Japanese army. This was a strategy formulated by itself.  , The current situation is that although the Allied forces are suppressed by the Japanese army, it will still take a long time before they are completely defeated. Considering all aspects, Tang Qiuli had to give up this tempting idea with great regret.

    Zhao Yuhe also had a worried look on his face. He analyzed that the sudden transfer of troops from the Japanese base camp from the Southwest Pacific battlefield must be related to the Northeastern battlefield and the Korean Peninsula battlefield. This sudden information was enough to change the division commander's decision just now. He was not worried about himself.  The suggestion was abandoned, but the seven Japanese first-class divisions were an uncertain factor. Whether they were added to the Northeastern battlefield or the Korean Peninsula battlefield, it was enough to change the battlefield situation.

    Tang Qiuli raised his head, with a sharp flash in his eyes, and said: "Yuhe, the order just now will continue to be issued, and the plan remains unchanged. The Japanese army will be transferred back to the country from the Southwest Pacific, and then join the battlefields in the Northeast and Korean Peninsula. It will not take a month.  Don't even think about completing the deployment. We can't give the Japanese so much time to prepare! Furthermore, order the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, the North China Field Corps, and the directly affiliated corps to enter the pre-war preparation stage. Once the division commander orders, they will immediately report to  The Kwantung Army troops on the opposite side launch a full-line attack!"

    "Yes!" Zhao Yuhe responded loudly and hurried out. Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, order the Intelligence Department to immediately find out the status of the Japanese troops guarding the above-mentioned islands, as well as the subsequent deployment.  The Japanese troop number sent a telegram to Commander Zhang in East India to immediately stop the supply of all weapons, equipment, ammunition and supplies to the Allied forces. What's the reason? Our army is about to start a large-scale military operation in the north and requires a huge amount of supplies.  There is no guarantee that the Allies¡¯ needs will be met!¡±

    "Also, the fleet escorting the Allied supply fleet in the East Indian Ocean is ordered to immediately stop the escort mission and return to Yangon Naval and Air Force Base to standby. Is there any reason? Because the Japanese Navy's main fleet is moving north to the Yellow Sea, and our fleet must participate in the Northern Campaign.  !¡±

    After Chen Feng recorded the order, he made a rare joke, "Sir, you are draining the firepower"??I'm afraid the Americans and British are jumping to their feet and shouting!  "
