Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 104 The Brave Second Detachment

Katayama Asami, the lieutenant pilot of the Kwantung Army reconnaissance aircraft brigade, was bored and was ordered to fly along the combat traces of the Tanaka brigade, monitor the retreat route of the anti-Japanese armed forces, and report the situation to the ground troops at any time.

He circled the battlefield several times and indeed captured the retreat direction of Li Honggang's detachment. After reporting his findings, he expanded the search scope.

Seen from the air, there are endless virgin forests everywhere. In addition to green, the tree crowns swaying in the wind dazzled him and caused visual fatigue. Doing this kind of task was not challenging at all.

He flew over a river. The long river was like a white streamer, decorated with monotonous green. He finally saw a different scenery. He felt a little more excited and couldn't help but take a second look.

There are large open areas on both sides of the river. Why is there something wrong? A green streamer actually cuts across the river and is still moving?

When he lowered the altitude of the plane and observed carefully, he found that it turned out to be a force of tens of thousands of people crossing the river. He was shocked. There were no troops of the imperial army active nearby. Where did this force come from?

After circling around for a while, he judged from the uniforms of the troops that this was definitely not a troop of the Imperial Army. There was only one possibility: it was another main force of anti-Japanese armed forces. This discovery was so valuable that he reported it

, it is very likely that there will be another star on his epaulette. He suppressed his excitement and pressed his finger on the transmitter.

Suddenly, a few sparks appeared on the ground and rushed toward his plane. He laughed secretly. These Chinese people were simply crazy. They even used infantry weapons to fight off the plane. What a joke!

He ignored it, and didn't even take evasive actions. He just watched from the corner of his eye, as if he was watching a farce. The plane suddenly shook violently, and before he could react, a ball of fire suddenly appeared, and the plane flew into pieces. Katayama

The lieutenant never had a chance to report the important discovery.

When the Japanese reconnaissance plane flew overhead, Tang Qiuli had already realized that the exposure of his troops was unavoidable. If the reconnaissance plane sent back intelligence on the discovery of his troops, then the entire campaign would be declared a failure. Not only would Yoshino be unable to be annihilated,

The regiment and the troops were still in danger of being surrounded by the Japs. Everything done by Li Honggang's detachment was in vain.

He broke out in a sweat. Damn it, the little devil just happened to have a reconnaissance plane appear at this critical moment. Isn't this adding to the chaos?

He suddenly thought that the anti-tank gun that had just been equipped with the army could hit tanks, and it should also be able to knock down the Japs' planes. Based on his understanding of the Japs' pilots, the Japs' planes would definitely conduct low-range reconnaissance, and only after confirmation would they

Send information. The news should not have been spread yet, so there is a chance!

He immediately ordered the nearest anti-tank gun unit to load armor-breaking shells. After hearing his order, they opened fire together to be sure to shoot down the little Japanese reconnaissance plane. Immediately, the muzzles of ten black guns were pointed at the sky. Sure enough,

, the little devil's plane lowered its altitude and was smashed into pieces by the volley. The soldiers were very excited because the power of this guy was too great.

Tang Qiuli felt a little distressed. He had known that one armor-breaking bullet could kill the Japanese aircraft, so why waste so much? This armor-breaking bullet was worth dozens of dollars! These guys, the first two shots had obviously been

It hit the Japanese plane, but it still fired. It was the first time I used this thing, and I thought it was fun?

Good guy, you can kill me for hundreds of dollars in one go. You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, so I have to deal with these big spenders.

After all the troops crossed the river, they rushed forward at a rapid march. At noon, the special operations unit responsible for reconnaissance sent intelligence. The enemy Yoshino Regiment urgently gathered the troops and returned along the route into the mountain. No one was found.

Tanks and heavy artillery units followed, and the move has been underway for more than two hours. The special operations detachment is following. It is expected that the enemy will encounter our army in four hours. We will report any further situations at any time.

The little Japanese thought they had bitten the main force of the anti-Japanese armed forces. The Japanese from all walks of life were like sharks smelling the smell of blood, rushing towards the war zone one after another. This Yoshino regiment had entered the deepest part of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and was not to be outdone, so they rushed to join in the fun.

He immediately ordered the troops to rest in hiding and held an emergency meeting in an open space in the forest. Now the Yoshino regiment has left the area originally planned to annihilate the enemy. It was originally planned to annihilate the area north of Uragai and south of Yantong Mountain.

The enemy's plans must change.

The original planned ambush to annihilate the enemy has now become a mobile annihilation. I ordered the Su Jingfeng detachment to rush to the Shuiquliu Ridge within three hours at a rapid march, launch a defense on the spot, and resolutely block the Yoshino Alliance.

The team's path forward will buy time for other troops to deploy on both sides of the enemy.

Tang Qiuli said to Su Jingfeng: "Captain Su, after passing the Shuiquliu Ridge, there is a flat plain area with no danger to defend. If the Yoshino Regiment is allowed to pass the Shuiquliu Ridge, it will not only make it extremely difficult for the troops to completely annihilate the Yoshino Regiment.

Difficulties will also increase the casualties of soldiers. Therefore, your detachment must be firmly anchored. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to take a step back without my order. Do you understand? You lead the team and set off immediately,"

"Commander, please don't worry. Even if there is only one person left in the second detachment, they won't let the Japanese pass by me. This old guy of mine hasn't tasted the blood of the little Japanese for a long time. This time, let's have a good time!" After that, he took the photo.

He patted the pistol on his waist, saluted Tang Qiuli, turned around and set off with his troops, looking as happy as if he had won a big prize.

Watching the soldiers of the Second Detachment leaving, Tang Qiuli took a long time to turn around. They were about to face a tough battle. There were more than 4,600 enemies, almost twice as many as the Second Detachment. Fortunately, the Second Detachment

The firepower must exceed that of the Japanese, otherwise the casualties will be heavy.

"Chief of Staff Feng, let's go too. You and I will each lead a detachment and complete the encirclement of the enemy's Yoshino unit before dusk. We will launch a general attack after dark and end the battle at dawn." After shaking hands with Feng Jiwu and saying goodbye, the two teams

Troops, get out of the way and shoot two sharp arrows into the wings of the Japanese Yoshino Regiment.

Although Su Jingfeng was usually careless and talked like he was quarreling, he was actually a very strategically minded general. After the troops were assembled, he ordered all the troops to be lightly armed. Except for guns and ammunition, all equipment should be left in place, leaving a detachment of soldiers to guard it.

.

At the same time, he mobilized a squadron to take care of the stragglers behind the troops. The requirement for the troops was the word "run". The distance between this place and Shuiliu Daling was fifty-five kilometers on the map, but it was on a mountain road.

, this means that the troops will have to march nearly twenty kilometers per hour on rugged mountain roads, which is not an easy job.

The soldiers of the second detachment had numb feet and their legs were as heavy as lead. This was also due to the high training requirements. Otherwise, they would have fallen down from exhaustion long ago. The shoes on the soles of their feet were hit by the angular rocks.

After chewing the thread, the soldiers looked at the backs of their comrades in front of them and moved their legs mechanically. There was only one thought in their minds, get to the place quickly. Fighting is much easier than this.

The hardest part is for the artillerymen and heavy machine gunners. They carry more weight than ordinary infantry. The heavy barrels and gun bodies make them breathless. However, in order to provide fire support to the infantry, they cannot fall behind.

I can grit my teeth and run forward with all my strength.

As they ran, the weight on their bodies suddenly lightened. It turned out that the commanders at all levels were sharing the weight for them. This was also where the cohesion of the Blood Hand Regiment lay.

From time to time in the queue, Su Jingfeng's loud voice and sturdy figure could be heard, which invisibly boosted the morale of the troops. The soldiers felt warm in their hearts. Officers as big as the detachment leader were all like us, carrying a light weight.

With a machine gun and two rifles on his back, what else can we say? Just run. If you reach the destination, you will be victorious! There was a heavy breathing in the queue.

The strict training and good food that Tang Qiuli had always required showed results. None of the soldiers were left behind. The troops responsible for the containment at the back had nothing to do, so they simply returned to the team. They were not willing to be a containment team in the first place.

, take this opportunity to win the war.

In the billowing smoke and dust, the second detachment met head-on with the Japanese Yoshino Alliance, like two iron hammers destined to collide with bloody sparks to see who had more will and endurance.

A long mountain ridge, lying quietly like a dragon in the vast mountains and dense forests of Guandong, finally arrived. Su Jingfeng let out a long breath, "Two hours and forty-five minutes." He looked at his watch

, arrived twenty minutes early.

Regardless of wiping the sweat off his head, he immediately ordered the radio operator to report, "Headquarters, our detachment arrived at Shuiquliu Ridge 20 minutes in advance. We have now arrived at the designated position and immediately built a defensive position. Please give instructions, Captain of the Second Detachment.

Su Jingfeng".

After a while, the headquarters called back, "I'm glad to hear that your unit arrived at the designated position ahead of schedule. It's very good. It laid the foundation for the success of this battle. It must be the first contribution! The special order commends all the soldiers of your unit. Continue your efforts and resolutely block the Yoshino Regiment. Command

"The Autumn of the Long Tang Dynasty".

The second telegram arrived again, "Captain Su, the troops are deployed immediately. Pay attention to the echelon configuration of troops and firepower. When you first contact the enemy, use the most ferocious firepower to hit the enemy head-on, kill a large number of enemies, and make the enemy fearful and hesitant."

In my heart, I don’t dare to use all my troops to attack your troops. I order you to launch a counterattack at the appropriate time to make the enemy mistakenly think that your troops are strong and have the mentality of standing firm and waiting for reinforcements. Commander Tang Qiuli.”

After reading the two telegrams, Su Jingfeng pondered for a moment and called a staff officer over, "Take this telegram from the commander to commend my detachment and inform the entire detachment!"

Su Jingfeng's commanding ability is evident. He knows that when the war is coming, the commendation given by the supreme commander to the troops will bring great spiritual encouragement to the soldiers. In order to defend this honor, the soldiers will bravely kill the enemy at the risk of their lives.

The soldiers of the second detachment didn't have time to take a breath. They had just dug a simple personal bunker in the defense fortification. Smoke and dust were billowing on the mountain road ahead, and the chaotic footsteps of the large army's rapid march reached the ears of every soldier.

The Japanese Yoshino Alliance is here, so fast?
