Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since Tang Qiuquan took charge of the war situation on the Korean Peninsula, Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, left battlefield decisions to Tang Qiuquan. He mostly did the work of chief of staff, obviously stealing the chief of staff of the fleet, Major General Xin Xiguo, and the chief of staff of the Corps.  The two of them had nothing to do with Colonel Xu Guangqi's job, so they had to demote themselves to Commander Ma's assistants and do some auxiliary work. They felt quite depressed.

    Seeing Xin Xiguo and Xu Guangqi come in, Ma Chaoyang said in a very good mood: "The two chiefs of staff are coming together, there must be something important?"

    Xin Xiguo and Xu Guangqi rolled their eyelids and said to themselves: "You still know that we are the chief of staff? You have taken away your jobs!"

    "Commander Ma is right, there is indeed a situation. The theater command has just received a telegram from Seoul. Colonel Chu Tian, ??acting commander of the 2nd Brigade, commanded a small and capable force. With the cooperation of the special operations detachment, the enemy has been annihilated.  Most of the Japanese militants have been killed. Now, the Second Brigade troops have begun to enter Seoul and officially take over the city. In addition, Colonel Huang Xiaosheng, Chief of Staff of the Second Brigade, requested the theater command to send professional administrative personnel to take over Seoul!" Xin Xiguo said.

    Tang Qiuquan was very satisfied. Chu Tian's outstanding performance made him happy. He was the first captain of the special operations detachment and had devoted countless efforts. Of course, he hoped that the old army could maintain a good fighting style as always. Tang Qiuquan knew better that such a huge  Seoul has been ruled by the Japanese for more than fifty years, and all kinds of relationships are intricate and complicated. Chu Tian is indispensable for being able to quell the hidden dangers of Seoul overnight!

    So, Tang Qiuquan said with a smile: "Chu Tian did a good job. Is he quite qualified as the acting brigade commander? The top priority is to select professional administrative personnel. After entering Seoul, we began to effectively manage the city. However,  We in the Korean Peninsula Theater do not have talents in this field, so we can only ask for help from the division commander. In addition, my opinion is that the Seoul Garrison Command will be established based on the Second Brigade. The candidate for this commander will be Chu Tian for the time being.  !¡±

    "The reason why Chu Tian was appointed as the Seoul Security Commander is because we have just occupied Seoul, the foundation of Japanese rule for more than fifty years. It cannot be eliminated in a short time. Those hiding in the corners,  The Japanese who are unwilling to give up will definitely be ready to take action and need an officer with rich experience in urban combat to maintain security in Seoul."

    "Seoul is the center of Japanese rule on the Korean Peninsula, radiating to the surrounding Incheon and other vast areas. Therefore, the Seoul Security Commander must not only focus on Seoul, but also expand to the entire surrounding areas of Seoul. This is not a large-scale regular corps  Combat, but dispersed and hidden point-by-point elimination. From the above perspectives, Chutian is the best candidate. What do you think? "

    Of course, Ma Chaoyang had no objections. After the death of the Second Brigade Commander Chen Yaoting, he had been worried about the candidate for the Second Brigade Commander. There were no suitable reserve officers, so he reported to the division commander for approval. Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment, could serve as the Second Brigade Commander.  , which is great news for the Second Brigade. Moreover, this Brigade Commander Chutian is also proficient in urban combat and special operations. The Second Brigade is responsible for the security tasks of Seoul and surrounding areas. It is commanded by Chutian and will not suffer any loss in its custody.  !

    Just as Ma Chaoyang was about to express his position, the fleet chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo, smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, don't rush to confirm Captain Chu's performance. While reporting on the situation in Seoul, Captain Chutian also gave instructions to the division.  , the theater command and the Corps Headquarters sent a telegram, insisting on resigning from the position of acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade. Chief of Staff Xu and I came here just for this matter. So far, the theater command has not received any notification from the division.  Let¡¯s study the command and report the opinions of our theater command to the division commander!¡±

    "Huh?" Tang Qiuquan was stunned and asked strangely: "You mean that Chu Tian is unwilling to take up the position of brigade commander? What's his reason?" Tang Qiuquan was secretly angry, "This Chu Tian is too disrespectful.  It¡¯s enlightening. It¡¯s true that the Special Operations Detachment is an elite force and its status is important enough. However, you, Chu Tian, ??can¡¯t stay in the Special Operations Detachment for the rest of your life, right?¡±

    "If the special operations detachment is not expanded, it will end up being a regiment-level unit. Now, there is an opportunity to go to the field force and serve as a brigade commander. The military rank will also be promoted to major general, and officially enter the ranks of independent division generals.  In the future, after he has achieved outstanding military exploits, he will be able to become the commander of the corps. It will be of great benefit to his future prospects and promotions. However, this guy with a lumpy head actually proposed it less than ten hours after taking office.  He resigned and even sent the telegram directly to the teacher, which is really annoying! "

    Tang Qiuquan's purpose in doing this was to consider Chutian's future. To be fair, Qiuquan was somewhat selfish. The special operations detachment was his old unit, and it can also be said to be a direct force. Although he is now the commander of the fleet, the special operations detachment is  The war detachment has always been under his attention, and he?Of course Tang Qiuquan would like to see his successor stand out and step onto a broader stage.

    The special warfare detachment is only organized at the regiment level. With Chu Tian's military rank, it is impossible to be promoted to major general. Moreover, the special warfare detachment performs some secret tasks. In many cases, they are not visible to the light. Tang Qiuquan, who was born in the special warfare detachment, is familiar with  Speaking of this, it is not as famous as commanding the field troops and fighting several great victories. In a word, Chutian is in the special operations detachment. His military career has reached its peak and it will be difficult to develop. But in the field troops,  That would be completely different. Chutian could move to a higher-level command position.

    Tang Qiuquan suggested to the division commander that Chu Tian be appointed as the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps. This was the path he took. Even the successor to the special operations detachment leader already had a target, which was the current special operations detachment chief of staff.  Qi Hanzhi, this guy is simply another Chutian. In his hands, the special operations detachment is still an invincible elite. "This stupid guy doesn't understand my intentions!" Tang Qiuquan sighed secretly.  .

    Seeing the commander frowning and asking this question, and his face not looking very good, Xin Xiguo's heart moved and he vaguely guessed the commander's thoughts, but he said calmly: "The reason for the resignation of Captain Chutian is very simple.  The word, 'mislead others and mislead yourself'!"

    Tang Qiuquan felt depressed again and said: "Well, since Chu Tian has proposed to resign as the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade, we also respect his opinion. However, the opinion of our theater headquarters is that Chu Tian should serve as the Southeast Mobile  As the acting brigade commander of the second brigade of the Corps, we will report our opinions and requests for the deployment of administrative personnel to the division commander, and ask the division commander to make a decision! "What are your opinions?"

    Tang Qiuquan's opinion was basically settled. Of course, including Ma Chaoyang, they would not object. On the contrary, Ma Chaoyang was very happy that Chutian could stay in the Southeast Mobile Corps, and handed over the second brigade to Chutian.  , he was even more relieved that the leader of the special operations detachment was not in vain!

    After deciding on Chutian's matter, several people studied the next offensive tactics. After the artillery fire on the Mokpo battlefield calmed down for two hours, it began to roar again. The attack of the independent division troops was still the same old routine, attacking,  After being repelled, the division's overwhelming artillery fire was repeated again and again. A suffocating offensive and defensive battle was fought on the Mokpo battlefield. It seemed that every time the Japanese army defended, they succeeded.

    However, every fierce bombardment will cause the Japanese troops defending the ground positions to lose varying numbers of troops. The highest commander of the Japanese army at Mokpo battlefield, Lieutenant General Kaga, the commander of the 37th Division, was so angry that his teeth were itching.  , but they have no choice but to suffer painfully with the independent division troops, passively defending, and fighting such a battle are undoubtedly humiliating and painful for the Imperial Japanese Army, which advocates offense.

    In the headquarters of the North China Field Corps of the Independent Division in Kailu County, eastern Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in with two telegrams, "Division Commander, I received the message from Chu Tian, ??the acting brigade commander of the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.  After a night of zoning and suppression, the Japanese militants in Seoul City suffered a devastating blow. Our army has completely taken control of Seoul. Now, the troops of the Second Brigade are entering Seoul City and starting to take over all important targets!  "

    "Oh!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, "Yes, Chu Tian did a very good job. The huge foundation of Japanese rule in Seoul is very deep. It is not easy to eliminate hidden dangers overnight. He is an agent."  Brigadier, you are quite competent!" There was a gratifying praise in his tone.

    Zhao Yuhe also felt the same, but this was not the real reason why he met the division commander. "Commander, don't be too happy. Brigadier Chu also sent another telegram to the division commander, requesting to resign from the Second Brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps.  The position of acting brigade commander!" he said with a wry smile.

    "Oh?" Tang Qiuli's reaction was similar to that of his cousin Tang Qiuquan. He also widened his eyes in surprise, "Yuhe, what is the reason for Chutian's resignation?" he asked, his tone was exactly the same as Tang Qiuquan's.

    Zhao Yuhe said: "The reason is very simple, just four words 'misleading others and yourself'!" "It's over? Is it that simple?" "It's over, there is no other explanation!"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head dumbfounded and said: "This Chu God is still a boring gourd. You said that you resigned from the position of acting brigade commander. There must be an explanation. Hey Yuhe, I remember that he was appointed as the second brigade commander.  Acting brigade commander, it¡¯s less than ten hours, right?¡±

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander, to be precise, it has been nine hours and twenty-five minutes since the appointment was issued by the division commander. I estimate that Brigadier Chu fought all night in Seoul and was so busy that even the battalion of the Second Brigade was so busy."  , I don¡¯t even know Quan, a senior officer!¡±
