    After years of hard work, the intelligence network of the Independent Division in the Northeast has been quite perfect. It can be said that it covers the Northeast and has reached a pervasive level. When Tang Qiuli decided to launch the northern campaign, he also had intelligence support.  One of the reasons why we dared to take action and resolutely regain the Northeast.

    The independent division's intelligence network has gone through a long period of operation and development. First, during the Blood Hand Regiment period, Tang Qiusheng, who was in charge of intelligence work, devoted all his energy to the intelligence network when Tang Qiuli's power was still very weak.  In the construction of the Blood Hand Regiment, it should be said that Tang Qiusheng was not a professional intelligence expert, but his character and wisdom made up for this shortcoming. It was in his hands that the Blood Hand Regiment's intelligence system gained great development.  develop.

    Tang Qiusheng is the founder of the independent division's intelligence system. This is understandable for the independent division. After the troops entered the customs, Colonel Yu Deshui, the director of the independent division's intelligence department who took over the intelligence work, was a real intelligence expert.  The Internet really became a climate when Yu Deshui was in charge of the work of the Intelligence Department, and this period was a period when the independent division troops were flourishing.

    Division Commander Tang Qiuli originally attached great importance to intelligence work and invested a huge amount of money in the development of the intelligence system. He never refused any funding request put forward by Yu Deshui, which in turn promoted the benignness of the intelligence system.  develop.

    The Northeastern region, which is determined to be recaptured, is a key area of ??concern for the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division. However, this time, the Intelligence Division's all-pervasive intelligence network in the Northeast failed for the first time, failing in two aspects.

    On the one hand, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army has been replaced. General Nanjiro, who had mediocre military command skills, returned to the country after his success and was replaced by General Yoshijiro Umezu, who is purely military. The commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army should be the top priority.  A typical Japanese soldier and a politician-like soldier will inevitably have different strategic plans, which will bring variables to the Northeast War situation.

    But because of Nanjiro's low-key and cautious attitude, within the Kwantung Army, so far, there are still many levels of officers who don't know.  Their commander-in-chief has been replaced by another person, and the newly arrived General Umezu Yoshijiro is even more disdainful of publicity. Therefore, the independent division's intelligence system was not informed of such a major incident.  It happened at the highest level of the Kwantung Army. No wonder Tang Qiuli thought that General Nanjiro was still in charge of the Kwantung Army.

    On the other hand, it is important information on the mobilization of two first-class divisions of the Japanese Third Army assembled in Vladivostok.  General Umezu Yoshijiro played a clever trick of "building plank roads in the open and concealing warehouses in secret". The empty troop transport train heading north attracted the attention of the agents of the Intelligence Division of the Independent Division. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops marched overland to Fengtian and beyond.  Gathered in the Liaoyang area in the south.

    The failure of two important pieces of information led Tang Qiuli, commander of the independent division, to still believe.  The war situation in the Northeast is still under his control. The newly emerged Japanese Third Army cannot change the status quo. He has to wait until the Third Army is fully activated and swallow it up in the Northeast battlefield.

    General the two divisions of the Japanese Third Army.  Putting aside the situation heading towards Harbin, Tang Qiuli then asked: "Yuhe, the troops commanded by Han Tie. How is the progress on the battlefield in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula?"

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Division commander, Commander Han fought a battle in Tokugawa Castle in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula and almost wiped out the 43rd Division of the Japanese and Korean Garrison Army. The remaining 10,000 people fled into  We have reached the Beidaifeng Mountains east of Tokugawa, and Commander Han is now commanding the troops to carry out encirclement and suppression in the Beidaifeng Mountains!¡±

    "Huh?" Tang Qiuli was very sensitive and surprised. He knew what kind of combat the Marine Corps was good at. Mountain and jungle warfare was not a battle that Han Tie's soldiers were good at. "It can't be  Did Han Tie suffer a loss?" he asked suspiciously.

    Zhao Yuhe was convinced and said: "Commander, I can't hide anything from you. The Marine Corps did suffer some losses. It sent nearly two brigades of troops into the mountains to pursue the suppression. As a result, more than 4,000 people were lost, and they were defeated in vain."  return!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled, and he knew that this was the result. The Marine Corps, which was good at landing on the island and seizing the beach, arrived in the mountains and jungles and faced more than 10,000 Japanese remnants. It was inevitable to suffer losses. "Han Tie is still at Beida Peak."  Mountain range, he must have invited reinforcements. Who is this god? Why doesn¡¯t the commander know?¡±

    Zhao Yuhe took a peek and saw that the division commander did not have any unhappy expression, so he smiled and said: "It was the Chutian detachment leader of the special operations detachment who sent Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi to lead the team to support. These are two troops  The division commander did not interfere with the commander's private friendship. However, Captain Chutian sent a telegram to the division commander, explaining the situation and guaranteeing that a small number of special forces members would be deployed to support the Marine Corps and would never interfere.  The mission of the special operations detachment in the Seoul area!¡±

    "Teacher, the teacher points out?It's not about sending a telegram to seriously enforce the discipline of the troops. After all, mutual support across the two units should be approved by the division commander, especially since the special operations detachment is still a unit directly under the division!  " Zhao Yuhe said tentatively. In fact, he didn't want to do this at all.

    Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the soldiers are out, let's continue to accuse, it will not please both sides. I guess Han Tie also felt that he was losing face, so he didn't ask the teacher to talk about fighting in the mountains and jungles.  Deputy Division Commander Tang's Southeast Mobile Corps was an expert. Unfortunately, it was far away in Indochina. It sent a telegram to Han Railway to end the war in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula as soon as possible and led the troops back to the Liaodong Peninsula. There were only three brigades, so the strength was a bit weak!  "

    Having said this, Tang Qiuli remembered, "Yuhe, should the three Marine Corps brigades that are reinforcing the Mokpu battlefield evacuate the Mokpu battlefield tonight and return to the Liaodong Peninsula?" he asked.

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Yes, division commander. According to the order of the division commander, we should board the ship tonight. However, the Korean Peninsula Theater Command called for instructions. The Japanese troops on the Mokpo battlefield suddenly increased a lot. In order to ensure the success of the troops' attack,  The scale puts greater pressure on the Japanese army, forcing it to continuously increase its troops on the Mokpo battlefield. Should the three Marine Corps brigades continue to stay on the Mokpo battlefield, at least, for another five days? "

    "In addition, the three brigade commanders of the Marine Corps also jointly sent a telegram to the division commander, requesting the division commander's approval to fight more battles on the Mokpo battlefield. My reply was to hand the telegram to the division commander and wait for the division commander's order.  !¡±

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "The effect of Ma Chaoyang's war of attrition has initially been shown. The Japanese army increased its troops to the Mokpo battlefield. That Tanaka Shinichi may not have used all his old skills. If he continues to fight, I'm afraid  Troops can only be mobilized from Japan. Call back to the Korean Peninsula Theater Command. The troops of the three Marine Corps brigades are only allowed to stay on the Mokpo battlefield for two more days. They must return to the original theater before the end of June! "

    "The thoughts of the three brigade commanders of the Marine Corps are obvious. There is no war in the Liaodong Peninsula now. After returning to the original organizational structure, I feel very itchy when I hear the sound of artillery on the other side across the Yellow Sea. However, the troops of the 29th Corps,  They have already left for the Korean Peninsula, and there is no point in them staying on the Mokpo battlefield!"

    Neither division commander Tang Qiuli nor chief of staff Zhao Yuhe expected that the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Yoshijiro Umezu, had decided to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Independent Division troops on the Liaodong Peninsula.  The intelligence department did not notice that two Japanese first-class divisions were gathering in the Liaoyang area. The Japanese counterattack against the Liaodong Peninsula was about to begin.

    Anton, facing the Yellow Sea, is a seaport city with an extremely important geographical location. The 6th Marine Brigade of the Independent Division is stationed here. The offensive situation that swept across the Liaodong Peninsula suddenly turned into a battle defense, not only  The brigade commander, Major General Jiang Xianliang, was not used to it, and neither were the more than 16,000 officers and soldiers of the Sixth Brigade. This was under the premise that there was no Japanese attack.

    The takeover work of Andong City has been put on the right track. The reception team from Dingbian, Song Geping, the captain of the Anton reception team, has indeed assumed the position of mayor of Andong City. A reinforcement team was transferred from the Pingjin area.  The Anton Garrison Command was formed, with Colonel He Qifeng as the head of the garrison commander. Anton's military and political team was fully equipped. Government affairs were handled by Song Geping, and military affairs were handled by He Qifeng.

    The position of the 6th Marine Corps Brigade is a bit embarrassing. At least in the eyes of the brigade commander, Major General Jiang Xianliang, it belongs to the temperament of the guest army. It is not easy or impossible to interfere in anything. There is nothing to do all day long. The troops are in peace.  Heading east towards Fengtian, he began to build fortifications. However, the little Japs didn't come. What was the use of building fortifications? He couldn't help complaining that when the commander entered the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, he did not take the Sixth Brigade with him and stayed in An.  East has nothing to do.

    Jiang Xianliang and Mayor Song Geping may have been born to be at odds with each other. They just couldn't get along. When Anton was recovered, there was a fierce conflict over the armed Japanese elements, which led to a quarrel.  When they arrived at the Northeast Working Group, the head of the group, Gao Diange, also ordered the detention of Jiang Xianliang and the interrogation of Marine Corps Commander Han Tie.

    Although the truth later came to light, Gao Diange was demoted back to Dingbian because he made a serious mistake, and reported his mistake to all the members of the reception team as a warning, but Jiang Xianliang also had a knot in his heart, and the same was true for Song Geping.  , I always felt that Brigadier Jiang was too murderous and unruly.

    No, at the military-government joint meeting just held, the two people quarreled again. There was only one reason. Jiang Xianliang asked the Andong City Government to provide the necessary materials, including steel bars and cement, for the defense system built towards Fengtian.  wait.

    In Song Geping¡¯s view, it is the responsibility of the Andong City Government to provide necessary supplies to the troops.However, this brigade commander Jiang is very open-minded and wants a terrifying amount of supplies. I am afraid that if his request is met, all the supplies on the Anton market will not be enough, especially steel and cement that are in short supply.  supplies.
