    Tang Qiuli used more than two days to cross the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, from Zhuanghe in the east to Bayuquan in the west. This was the established blocking line. All points along the way were key exploration targets. Starting from Zhuanghe in the east, Wu  Lu Town, stretching to Guangmingshan Town, Changling, Guiyunhua, Shidong Street, Yangyun, to several key defense areas in Shuangtai Town in Bayuquan in the west, a blocking line extending for more than 100 kilometers, in the Liaodong Peninsula  On the military map, a curved red line has taken shape, like a copper wall and an iron wall, spanning the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula.

    Whenever he arrived at a place, according to prior arrangements, as usual, no one would alert the local government and the local garrison. Tang Qiuli's focus was naturally on surveying the terrain. However, paying attention to the situation of the local government and garrison has also become the focus of his work.  In part, the method adopted was that after surveying the terrain on the shore, all general-level officers, including Tang Qiuli, put on the uniforms of ordinary soldiers and went to the streets to chat with ordinary people.

    Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the information obtained. The situation in Zhuanghe and Guangmingshan Town did not occur at all. The Eastern governments and garrisons in these places have invested in intense preparations for war. Everything is in accordance with the Liaodong Peninsula.  The orders from the theater headquarters are being carried out in a busy, tense and orderly manner.

    When he arrived at Bayuquan, Tang Qiuli's gloomy mood caused by the Zhuanghe incident had completely dissipated. On the way, he encountered the 4th Marine Corps Brigade and the 1st Division of the 5th Brigade. The wounded and troops who retreated, and their situation  Similar to the Sixth Brigade, each regiment also had about a battalion of troops, which were intact. Tang Qiuli ordered Ge Zhenzhuang, Director of the General Staff Department, to organize them into a reinforced regiment according to the method of arranging the troops of the Sixth Brigade.  A regiment-level officer with rich combat experience serves as the regiment commander, stays to participate in the battle, and is directly under the command of the theater headquarters.

    In this way, it was in Tang Qiuli's hands.  Three more reinforced regiments were added, and a strengthened brigade-level unit was established. Immediately, Tang Qiuli issued an order in the name of the division commander to retain the 4th, 5th, and 6th Marine Brigades.  The troops who came down to participate in the war were reorganized into brigades directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater.  As for the candidate for the brigade commander, Colonel Meng Jianzhu, the current mayor of Zhuanghe City and the commander of the Zhuanghe Security Brigade, was on Tang Qiuli's radar.

    So, Meng Jianzhu, who was so busy in Zhuanghe, received a letter of appointment personally signed by his division commander Tang Qiuli.  "Zi appointed Colonel Meng Jianzhu, mayor of Zhuanghe City and commander of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade as Zhuanghe Security Commander, as the brigade commander directly under the Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command. This brigade is the general reserve force of the theater! With this order,  Independent Division Commander Tang Qiuli!"

    Looking at the letter of appointment signed by the division commander himself, Meng Jianzhu was supervising the construction of fortifications on the front line on the south bank of the river in Wulu Town.  He patted the dirt all over his body and smiled, "Hehehehe! I didn't expect that I, Lao Meng, have become the brigade commander! I have seventeen or eight thousand people under my command! Ah! Hahahaha!"

    The officers under his command clamored for Brigadier Meng to treat him to a treat. Meng Jianzhu pretended to be serious and said: "What treat do you want? The little devil is about to be under your nose. I still have the leisure to treat him after this battle is over. What's more?  , I am only a temporary brigade commander. When the battle is over and the regiments return to their original structures, the brigade directly under the theater headquarters will naturally be disbanded! If the battle requires it, this brigade commander will not be counted as a treat.  "

    The officers burst into laughter and went about their business. Meng Jianzhu clucked his lips, feeling quite incredible.  The position of a brigade commander fell from the sky, which he never expected, but he knew that the troops of the temporarily formed direct brigade came from the 4th, 5th, and 6th brigades. Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the 6th Brigade, naturally  There's nothing to say, but the commanders of the 4th and 5th brigades could watch one of their reinforced regiments being transferred out, and after the battle was over, why not argue with Commander Han to return to the army?

    If this directly-affiliated brigade is really organized and no longer dismantled, but is still in the Marine Corps' order of operations. If you go to the headquarters for a meeting, you will inevitably meet those old officers who know that they are commanding their former troops.  He had to eat himself. Thinking about it, Meng Jianzhu's scalp went numb. However, he was also a little proud, "No matter how you say it, I, Lao Meng, also served as a brigade commander, commanding 17,800 people."  Strengthen the brigade! Think about it, among the thirty or so regimental commanders of the Marine Corps, the one with the most outstanding reputation is me!"

    Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Bayuquan at the western end of the Liaodong Peninsula, naturally had no idea of ??the complicated and complacent thoughts of Meng Jianzhu in Zhuanghe. The plan to establish the blocking line had already been initially formulated by the staff office. Regarding the Liaodong Peninsula combat plan, in Tang  With Qiu Li's specific participation, it has also taken shape. What is needed now is to implement it as soon as the troops are in place.

    One day ago, the 29th Corps reinforced three main brigades on the Liaodong Peninsula and landed at Dalian Port. Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the first brigade, Major General Xu Tingzhi, commander of the second brigade, and Major General Guo Zhenmin, commander of the third brigade.  justAfter getting ashore, before they could recover from their dizzy state of seasickness, several confidential staff officers from the division headquarters were waiting on the pier. When they saw the three brigade commanders coming ashore one after another, they took the three commanders to them without saying a word.  A document marked top secret was handed into their hands, and then they drove away.

    The three people opened the document, which read, "Order: The first brigade of the 29th Corps immediately goes north from Dalian Port and rushes to Shuangtai Town and Shidong Street Town in Bayuquan to set up defenses. The second brigade rushes to Yangzhou.  The third brigade rushed to the Wanjialing front line to deploy defenses in Yunzhen and other places. The above-mentioned units must arrive at the location specified in the order to assemble and deploy within twelve hours. With this order, the Independent Division Liaodong Peninsula Theater Command Headquarters  Command Tang Qiuli!"

    Major General Jing Zhanqi, commander of the first brigade, was the temporary commander of the team. After reading the secret order, he shook his dizzy head and said to the other two brigade commanders: "You two, the division commander's order is urgent.  Don¡¯t think about stopping in Dalian temporarily. My opinion is that after the troops land, rest for three hours to eat, and then set off overnight!¡±

    "It took us 12 hours to arrive at a distance of nearly 300 kilometers. The time is tight enough. The three of our troops are not all together. I think the three of us will go to Deputy Commander Liu Hanzhang of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater to request  He assisted, arranging vehicles and guides as much as possible. The infantry went first with light equipment, and the artillery and baggage troops followed, without delaying the matter! "

    The military orders were like mountains, and the three brigade commanders, including Jing Zhanqi, naturally did not dare to slack off. The soldiers who came ashore could rest and eat, but they were not so lucky. They rushed by car to the headquarters of the Northeast Work Corps in the city of Dalian.  , is also the office location of Liu Hanzhang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Peninsula Theater.

    As soon as they entered the door, they saw Liu Hanzhang in casual clothes. He had been waiting for them in the office for a long time. He seemed to be a little incompatible with his status as deputy commander-in-chief of the theater. However, the three professional soldiers did not look down upon the famous Dingbian Military and Political Officer.  The vice chairman of the committee was also well-known within the independent division. The three people hurriedly saluted, "Report! Jing Zhanqi, commander of the first brigade of the 29th Corps, Xu Tingzhi, commander of the second brigade, and Guo Zhenmin, commander of the third brigade, have met  Deputy Commander Liu!" He looked respectful and observed the etiquette of his subordinates.

    Liu Hanzhang seemed to be very unaccustomed to this. He waved his hand and said: "I am very unaccustomed to these rules of the army. As the deputy commander, I also manage the logistics work of the theater for the division commander. I do not participate in command operations. No gossip. The three brigade commanders  The troops have just landed, and you are eager to see me. Do you want to solve the problem of transport vehicles to the front line? "

    Jing Zhanqi and the other three people were all stunned, and thought to themselves: "Okay, it's just like what everyone said, he is fast-talking and straightforward. However, soldiers still like to deal with such people!"

    Liu Hanzhang looked at the faces of the three people and knew that he had guessed correctly, and then said: "I have made arrangements for this matter. The transportation vehicles and guides have been put in place to meet the requirements of the army!"

    Before Jing Zhanqi and the others could stand up to express their gratitude, Liu Hanzhang shouted toward the door: "Secretary Wang, come in!"

    A young man with glasses and a gentle manner came in in response, "Secretary Wang, you immediately take the three brigade commanders to the transportation department, find the person in charge of this work, and arrange the transportation of the troops! Hurry!  , can¡¯t delay even a minute!¡±

    Then, Liu Hanzhang turned his face and said to Jing Zhanqi and the three of them: "Three brigade commanders, the military affairs are urgent. We don't have any extra time, so I won't keep you!" Okay, just give the ejection order and walk out of Liu Hanzhang's office  , Jing Zhanqi and others still felt strange in their hearts!

    Liu Hanzhang's work efficiency was impeccable. Three hours later, as night fell over the Dalian seaside, the infantry units of the three brigades of the 29th Corps had already set off in trucks from the Dalian port to their respective assembly areas.  Place.

    At around 10 o'clock that night, three brigades of Marine Corps troops who urgently returned from the Mokpo battlefield on the Korean Peninsula to support the Liaodong Peninsula battlefield arrived at the Zhuanghe port and landed on the land of the Liaodong Peninsula. Like Jing Zhanqi and others, they were waiting for the first  Brigade commander Major General Chen Mengqiao, second brigade commander Major General Li Boyhan, and third brigade commander Major General Xiao Jinting were handed over by several serious-looking confidential staff officers from the division command staff office. Three top-secret documents were handed over to Chen Mengqiao and several others.  Li, without saying a word, took the car and left.

    Coming from the Marine Corps and crossing the sea by boat, Chen Mengqiao and the other three brigade commanders were naturally not like Jing Zhanqi and others from the 29th Corps, who were seasick and dizzy, and opened the secret order. The contents were different, and the location of the defense was different.  Differently, the time stipulated to arrive at the assembly point is much shorter than that of the three brigades of the 29th Corps. Tang Qiuli only gave the three brigades of the Marine Corps seven hours to reach their respective defense areas.

    In this way, the six brigades participating in the blocking battle on the Liaodong Peninsula were in place one after another, and Tang Qiuli finallyWith capital, a copper and iron wall was prepared for the Japanese Third Army in the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula.
